Please R&R, sorry it was so long before I updated but I had a case of writers block.
"Why did you already call to come home?" Danny asks pulling up "Did something happen?"
"You always assume the worst." Megan replies getting into the car.
"You came here to see him didn't you?" Danny states
"No, I didn't"
"Don't lie to me Megan."
"I'm not lying." Megan defends herself
"Be careful all right? You don't know what he's capable of, he's already hit you once who's to say he wont again?"
"Too late for that." Megan mutters touching her face gingerly, Danny glances over at her but says nothing else the rest of the way home. He parks and gets out of the car, Megan follows him into the house.
"You're home early" Evelyn comments
"I wasn't really hungry." Megan answers uneasily, Rafe glances up from his dinner at the table where he is sitting.
"Well if you get hungry, there's plenty left over." Evelyn tells her
"Thanks." Megan turns to leave.
"So who did you meet there tonight?" Evelyn asks making conversation glancing at Rafe.
"Some friends, it was pretty dull though."
"You look a little pale Megan, maybe it was too soon to send you back to school, your teacher called today he seemed quite worried about you but wouldn't say why." Evelyn says sitting down with Rafe.
"I'm fine, there's nothing to worry about." Megan fidgets with her sleeve. "Really." Danny looks at his parents and back at Megan again. "Well I'm going to go to my room, I need to do some homework…." Megan says then turns and leaves
"She's getting good." Rafe looks over to Evelyn "I almost believed her"
"Oh Rafe, stop it. You need to talk to her." Evelyn insists
"Why not you?" Rafe smiles
"Because you're her father and Rafe stop this and go and talk to her."
"Dad, I'm worried about her, she never lies so outright like she just did. She seems different today, I can't place it but something is just different." Danny tells Rafe.
"All right, both of you calm yourselves. I'll go talk to her now." Rafe gets up and goes upstairs. He knocks on her door and walks in. Megan is folding some clothes, putting them into her drawers. "I thought you were doing homework."
"I'm done." Megan replies curtly Rafe looks at her papers and sees they're blank. "I didn't have any homework." She replies sitting on her bed. "I was just sorting through my stuff. I didn't have homework because I missed most of my classes today, in case you were wondering."
"Would that be why your teacher called?" Rafe asks
"Your guess is as good as mine." Megan shrugs
"Megan. Did something happen today?"
"….no." Megan replies with her back facing him. "Meg-"
"I'm fine really, it was just a long day that's all." Megan turns around smiling convincingly
"All right, promise you'll tell me if something is wrong though?"
"Promise." Megan replies
"Megan phone!" Danny yells upstairs
"Go get that." Rafe waves her on
"Hello?" Megan picks up the phone in the hall
"Megan?" Elizabeth asks "Your home, good."
"Why are you all uptight and worried lately?" Megan questions
"What happened at the diner?"
"I already told you."
"No, you were vague I want to know exactly what you said." Elizabeth says forcefully
"I told him that if he didn't drop this thing with my father I would tell someone what he did and that it would prevent him from getting into the services." Megan replies softly
Elizabeth sighs "Why would you do something like that?"
"I don't know I wasn't really thinking, I just said it. I had to think of something."
"Did you ever think of the fact that it's your father's problem?"
"You don't get it, it's not some little thing that will blow over."
"Anything can be a little thing that will blow over if everyone lets it go." Elizabeth advises
"I can't let it go, it's my fault. None of this would have happened-"
"If not for Michael." Elizabeth cuts her off "You know that, please Megan you have to that I don't want to see get hurt again."
"It's too late for that. I did what I did." Megan replies "I have to go, I'll see you tomorrow."
"All right, bye." Elizabeth hangs up
Megan turns around and is surprised to see Danny standing there. She glances at him as she walks past him. Danny reaches out and takes her arm. "Why are you lying?" Megan looks away but doesn't answer. "Meg, answer me."
"What's the point Danny? You wont believe me anyway." Megan asks
"Maybe I will, try me."
"Not tonight." Megan says and goes into her room.
*******************
"Hey Megan." Elizabeth greets her the next morning
"It's just you today?" Megan asks surprised to see Elizabeth alone
"Yea, not for long though Michael's coming this way. Megan don't go with him."
"Don't worry about it." Megan goes towards Michael.
"I need to talk to you." Michael says through gritted teeth.
"Where?"
"My car?" Michael suggests
"All right." Megan follows him out of the school, she can feel Elizabeth's eyes boring into the back of her head.
Michael opens up the car door for Megan she gets in and he goes around to the other side and gets in then shuts the door. "About yesterday. You put me in a bad position."
"You did the same to me, I didn't want it to come to this." Megan replies
"I don't want to be prevented from getting into the service." Michael starts "I can't let that happen."
"I don't want that to happen but you've got to drop this, I don't want my father's name ruined. He's a good man."
"It's not that easy. My father is angry about this, he doesn't believe I hit you and he thinks your father is trying to ruin everything for me."
"So tell him you did!" Megan exclaims
"If I do, I'll never be able to get in, my father would have me working the farm for the rest of my life."
"So you're just going to let everything my parents worked for disappear because of your pride? What was the point of this conversation?"
"I need for you not to say anything to anyone, your father's word is still strong as is your mothers if they were to back you up, my future in the services would be ruined, my father wouldn't be able to stand up tall because he defended me on this."
"You should have thought of that before you hit me. Not to mention you have on more than one occasion." Megan reminds him
"I'm sorry, I really am."
"No you're not. I've been lying to my parents and Danny about this. I'll tell them everything, then your future will truly be ruined." Megan threatens.
"Don't threaten me!" Michael hits the wheel.
"Sounds familiar doesn't it? Mr. Mathers will believe it if I went in there and told him everything don't forget that. What are you doing?" Megan asks as Michael starts the car. "Michael?!" Megan asks her voice rising as he ignores her.
"Get out." Michael opens her door a few minutes later
"Where are we?" Megan gets out looking around.
"You know who's farm this is?" Michael asks, Megan shakes her head "My family's."
"What happened to it?" Megan questions
"My family aren't farmers, I need to go into the services. I need to get out of here, this farm isn't going to last much longer."
"What does that have to do with me?"
"If you ruin my future this is what lays ahead."
"You should have thought about that before you hit me, I'm truly sorry for you, but I'm not changing my mind."
Michael spins on his heel and smacks her. "Why not?!"
"Take me back to school." Megan says evenly
"No! Answer me!"
"I don't have to answer you, I told you, you had two days to make up your mind it sounds like you have."
"Dammit Megan!" Michael grabs her arm "You always have to push me too far!" He yells
Megan winces in pain as he twists her arm, the same arm he did the same to a few days ago.
"You can't ruin my future!" Michael starts walking towards the barn pulling her with him. "I'll make sure you don't say anything." He throws her down. "Don't move."
Megan sits back holding her hand to her head. Trying to stop the dizziness. She looks over at Michael and realizes something. "Your drunk." She says to him
"Shut up." Michael replies
"No" Megan stands up and freezes when she sees a gun in Michael's hands.
"Michael?" Anthony walks into the barn and Michael hides the gun "Son what are you doing here?"
"Megan and I just stopped by here before school, we were just leaving." Michael explains
"Good to see you two back together." Anthony smiles "You better get going you're late." Anthony grabs something and leaves
"Go to my car." Michael tells her
"Where did you get that?" Megan asks when they're inside
"It's my father's." Michael sits it between his legs and starts driving. "So have you changed your mind now?" Michael asks when they reach school.
"No." Megan opens the door and gets out. Michael cuts her off, the gun in tow
"What do you mean no?"
"I mean no. Even if I don't say something nothing will change so Michael I mean no."
Michael jabs her with the gun in the ribs forcing her against the car. "I'll give you two days to think about this." He replies then gets back into his car.
Please R&R thanks.
"Why did you already call to come home?" Danny asks pulling up "Did something happen?"
"You always assume the worst." Megan replies getting into the car.
"You came here to see him didn't you?" Danny states
