Chapter 13 Please Don't let them take me back.
Four months later...
It was now months later after Megan had been getting treatment for her cancer. The Doctor's said that everything with her was going well and that her tumor was shrinking smaller and smaller. Now it was only the size of an acorn before it was the size of a walnut. And Megan kept feeling better each day and kept singing more around the house.
One day as she was singing the telephone rang. It was her mother and dad calling. Megan had been so exicited talking to them and she said she was having a great time with Bo and his family. Her mother then told her she had to come back home. Megan suddenly was starting to get upset. She didn't want to leave. "Mom, Bo and his family wants me to stay here. I want to stay here. They take such great care of me and I'm getting treatment for this cancer. Bo wants to enroll me in the High School here. He also says I can go to special music school because I'm gifted. "
She listened to her mom start fussing on the other end. Her mother told her to come back soon to home, or they were going to press charges against the Duke family for kidnapping and try to get Bo into Jail. Megan's eyes began to tear up, and she hung up on her own mother after saying no she wasn't coming back.
She began crying hard as she got off the phone. She didn't want the Dukes to get sued because of her. Ever since she came here, they had been so good to her. And even got her treatment. If she went back home, she didn't think her parents would get her treatment and she thought that they would just let her die. Megan was afraid that her parents would send Police out to find her and that the Dukes could be arrested. But Policemen couldn't arrest family could they? Bo should know, he was a Sheriff! He wouldn't let them take her, would he?
Megan made her way upstairs. She got out her suitcase and began packing. She had no choice. If she didn't want to go back, her parents would make her go back. She didn't want to go back to the parents who were so horrible to her. They treated their other children like royalty compared to her. Her needs were always met last. No wonder Bo left long time ago. He probably couldn't stand them either.
After packing a few minutes, Megan sat on her bed and cried. She just couldn't leave the Dukes. Not now, not ever.
