LIN POV

It was almost a week later, we were fully recovered, physically, and now, while Megan's family spoke to the police which was looking to take all night. So Megan was spending the night at my house, my parents were relieved that she was safe and were doing everything they could to make her comfortable. They were concerned for her welfare, she was still trembling almost non-stop, unsurprisingly the slightest mention of Mark or what happened caused her to freak out. Right now Megan and I were sitting watching TV, I had my arm around her, calming her and gently kissing her temple. Just then I heard my father call me through to the kitchen.

"I'll be right back".

She nodded and I hurried through to the kitchen. My parents had obviously been sitting, talking, my father looked up and spoke.

"I understand Megan's been brutally attacked by this guy, what happened to him?"

"He's been arrested, he won't be allowed back out for a long time, when he finally does get out, if he comes anywhere near her, he'll be arrested again".

My parents briefly looked at each other and then my father spoke again.

"Okay, we just wanted to make sure that the guy who did this to her was being made to pay for what he's done. It's late, the two of you should go to bed".

"Yeah, thanks Dad".

"Take good care of her Lin".

"I will Mom".

I left the kitchen and walked back over to Megan, she was trembling again, I smiled and, as she stood up I hugged her and kissed her.

"C'mon, let's go, we should probably get to bed".

Megan looked up at me.

"This was a last minute decision remember, I don't have my pyjamas".

"I'm sure we can find a pair of my pyjamas for you to wear, let's go".

I took her hand gently and we walked off to my room.

I quickly found a spare pair of my pyjamas and handed them to Megan, she looked at them and then back at me.

"Aren't they a bit big?"

"It'll be fine".

Megan asked me to stay with her, I smiled and turned around so I was facing the wall. Megan might be right about them being to big, I was almost a foot taller than her and I had broader shoulders.

"Lin".

I turned around, Megan was now wearing the pyjamas I handed her.

"They're dragging on the floor".

I walked over to her and helped her roll up the pant legs, I then stepped back. I fought back a smirk when I noticed she was right, despite rolling up the pant legs, only her toes were visible beneath the pant legs, her narrow shoulders were lost in the pyjama shirt, as were her hands as the sleeves fell past them, the shirt almost reached her knees, I continued to fight back a smirk, she looked like a little kid trying on her parents clothes, it was rather endearing.

"I was right, they're too big".

I walked over and hugged her, kissed her forehead.

"Don't worry about it, I think it looks cute".

She smiled and shrugged her shoulders, I quickly got ready for bed myself and we were in bed, I held Megan close and watched as she slowly drifted off to sleep. I sighed, she looked so fragile at the moment, I swore I would never let this happen again, I would protect her, no matter what.

MEGAN POV

I wasn't sure how long I had been sleeping but soon I jerked awake screaming, I had been having nightmares ever since I had been rescued. Almost at once I felt Lin's grip on me tighten and his voice whispering calming phrases, I slowly began to relax and then, I partially buried my face in his shoulder.

"I'm sorry Lin, I-I..."
"It's okay, I'm here, I've got you, you're safe".

I finally calmed down, I heard Lin's voice and realized he was talking to his parents, he was reassuring them that I was fine, he would take care of me. Finally I felt him gently lift my face up and kiss me, I kissed back, desperate to feel his lips on mine. Finally we parted and he gently let me use his chest as a pillow again. I slowly began to drift off to sleep again, as I did I heard Lin's voice.

"You don't have to worry about a thing, I'll protect you, I'm always here for you Megan".

I smiled and finally managed to get back to sleep, in the arms of the one person who was willing to risk anything for me, Lin, my boyfriend, no matter what Mark said, that would always be true.

End of chapter and of story, Megan is still suffering but Lin is always there for her, together they can pull through, Mark will no longer be a threat to Megan so now she can focus on recovering and being happy with Lin. Hope you enjoyed this chapter and the story, read and review please.
