Thanks for all of the reviews they really mean a lot to me. In this chapter there will be Megan and Cory's phone call so the italics are what Cory says to Megan, so that you can understand it more. There's also a small flashback in this which is there to help you understand where the phone call is headed.
When dinner finished Josh volunteered to help with the dishes while Walter decided to go for a run around a few of the housing blocks before it got to dark.
Megan used this as her opportunity to sneak away upstairs to her room. She looked at her watch reading the time off of the little clock face. Five minutes to eight.
She knew who would call her in five minutes.
Carefully she crept down the hall trying not to let Drake know that she was walking down the corridor after all at dinner he seemed very agitated almost as if he knew some thing that no one else did. Some thing that Megan knew and wanted to keep a secret. Wanted to keep her secret.
She opened her bedroom door and sat on her bed checking that all of her sound systems and video camera's were off she took her phone out of her pocket and waited. Watching the time tick bye on her watch.
Her phone rang and her eyes immediately moved to look at the caller ID not that she didn't already know who it would be.
The name made her eyes sore and she wanted desperately not to answer the phone, but she couldn't do that. She didn't want any thing to do with him any more. Sadly she picked up the phone and answered the call putting the phone to her ear.
"Hello."
Drake stopped playing his guitar as he heard a light creeping sound. Drake knew well enough that that sound belonged to Megan's feet when she was trying to creep and sneak around.
She had always done that as a child. Drake would some times still wake up at night and hear her creeping up and down the hall and the stairs. He would also hear it when she was walking towards there room.
Before Josh moved in Drake had left the floor board out side the door as one that creaked. Megan had never realised, so when ever she went to enter Drake's room the noise woke him up. However Josh had insisted that he fix it as the sound annoyed him. Drake had told him not to and said he would be extremely sorry if he did repair it. Then one day when Drake come home the floor board was fixed. This caused Drake to nearly kill Josh who had only been living in their house for three days.
Drake climbed down the ladder of his bed and walked over to the door. He opened it a crack and peeked through the gap at the hall. He saw Megan carefully making her way to her bed room.
He waited and when he heard her bedroom door shut he left the room and made his way down the corridor as quietly as he could, so as not to let Megan hear him.
He stopped out side of his sister's room and leaned in towards the door as her phone started to ring. Great this meant that he would only hear half of the conversation and that was Megan's half, but Drake should be able to pick the conversation up easily.
"Hello." He heard Megan say. She didn't sound like she was questioning who was on the phone though she said it as if she knew who it was.
Then Drake heard the name that he never wanted to hear and never wanted Megan to say again.
"Hello Megs. Do you have the Money?"
"Cory I haven't got the money yet, but I will get it."
"You said you would give it to me tomorrow how will you get the money you said that you didn't have any."
Megan felt rage inside her. It was true she didn't have any money she spent it all on a present for Cory and new equipment for her pranks on Drake and Josh which were a necessary part of her life.
"I'll get you the money and give it to you tomorrow." Megan was trying to end this conversation as quickly as she possibly could.
"Megan you know it's not just the money that I want you have some thing else that you owe me."
Megan hated that tone of his.
"I-I-I can't."
"You agreed Megan." He was right she did agree to it, she had to, she had no choice and now she couldn't get out of the deal that she had made.
"I can't just give you some thing like that, I couldn't, I won't." She said finally getting angry with Cory for what he was asking of her, but that was the wrong thing to do.
"Fine, don't meet me tomorrow bring me every thing I want to school on Monday, I'll text you the other details and Megan I hope you have a good excuse ready."
That tone she hated it, she really did.
"Okay." She replied. It was all that she could bring her self to say and it pained her so much to know that she had given in to Cory and accepted to play by his rules not hers. She held the cards in this house, but he held the cards on her.
She given in to easy and she knew it. She couldn't back out of it now. She would have to give Cory what he wanted. She would have to do what he wanted.
"What about-" She was cut of as Cory spoke over her.
"Leave that to me, I'm sure your parents will love a meeting with are school princibal."
Megan froze she had to get out of this, "Cory please can't we just forget this, I'll do any thing else please."
"You made the deal Megan."
"I know." She also knew that she promised. How did this happen. Her first love was perfect until Cory found some thing out about her that she had to keep him from spreading. This was the only way and as much as she wanted to break up with him that wouldn't help. The only way to keep his mouth shut was for her to allow him to hurt her. Physically, mentally and emotionally.
"Now about that little gift that I want how will you get that if you have no money?" That gift that he wanted was no way near little. She knew what he was getting at and she didn't like it. It was wrong she couldn't do that not to him, no way.
Megan had just given Drake the car keys back and after she and Cory had sat down he asked her a question.
"That person from a moment ago, it's your brother right?"
"Yes he is. He's called Drake though, he has a name he's not an 'it' for your information Cory."
"Now, now Megan don't get angry with me. Any way tell me more about this brother Drake of yours."
"Well he um, he has a step brother called Josh, so do I and um he has a band and he sings and he um he plays guitar, really well."
"He plays guitar?" Cory asked again.
"Yeah."
"What kind?"
"I um I don't know, I never really pay much attention to the type of guitar he has, I like the music he plays on it."
"Do you have a picture of the guitar?"
"No."
"Oh well, I can't play guitar any way, so I probably wouldn't even now what type it was. Bye Megan."
Megan couldn't help but feel uneasy about this as Cory walked away and Drake and Josh came out of their movie and walked over to her.
Megan shook her self out of her thoughts. She had no choice now she couldn't say no so she had to give him what he wanted.
She hated her self for what she was about to say.
"I'll take Drake's." Megan gritted her teeth as a single tear rolled down her red cheek although strangely it was the only tear that fell.
"Good. See you on Monday, bye Megan." Cory said before ending the call.
Megan waited a moment for what she knew was coming. A text came through on her phone and with shaking hands she opened the message.
Monday at school before first lesson, the closet by my locker. Bring the gift and I will bring the golf club.
Megan dropped her phone as she started crying she couldn't believe that she was going to do this. To him of all people. Why now, why her, why her first ever relationship. Maybe she should listen to Drake more when he says not to get involved with relationships until your fourteen.
Now it was too late. She was about to wreck every thing and she knew it was true. She couldn't get out of this now.
She fought, but that had only pushed her in to a corner.
Drake was gone as soon as he heard Megan start to cry. He feared that she would run out of the room, so he left that way she would never know that he was listening in that whole time, but for once Drake couldn't piece her conversation together. He just couldn't.
What was she going to do. What did she mean by 'I'll take Drake's.'
What ever she meant Drake didn't like the sound of it.
Drake woke up on Monday he barely even remembered yesterday. Yesterday had been Sunday and Megan hadn't left the house once. Drake remembered all of Saturday's events and wondered what would happen to Megan.
He only had one way to find out.
It was risky and he wouldn't necessarily be able to pull it off with out some one realising or finding out what he was up to, but he had to at least try, he had to help Megan if he could.
And if skipping school was the way to do that, then that was exactly what he would do.
Okay I hope that you liked this chapter the next one should be up soon.
Please review and thanks for reading.
