Sunless Sky

Chapter 7: Help me.

"Did you find out anything?" I asked Paul who was sitting with me on the couch.

"Not really, but she's always so scared and keeps looking back whenever she walks like..." He said.

"Like she knows she's in danger." I said.

"Yes." He said.

What is she hiding? Why she is not helping Andrew if she knows something.

I'm calling Megan right now, I already called her twice but she didn't answer.

"What." OMG, she picked up my call.

"Hello, Megan." I said in a happy tone.

"What." She said again in a cold voice.

"I want to meet you." I said.

"And I don't." She said.

"It's urgent, it's about Andrew." I said.

"What happened to him?" She asked a little worried.

"Let's meet." I said.

"No." She said very clearly.

"See, I get it that you hate me, but I thought at least you love Andrew." I said a little bit angry.

"Ok, but remember this is the last time that I'll ever meet you." She said.

"Thanks a lot." I said and she hung up.

Now, I'm in a coffee shop waiting for Megan. Somehow I need to convince her to help me, only she can help me, she's the key to end all of this.

I see Megan entering the cafe, so I waved my hand for her to spot me.

She came towards me and sat in the opposite chair.

"So, what is it." She said directly to the point.

"I need your help... no Andrew needs your help." I said as earnestly as possible.

"Isn't it already over for you both, why are you still clinging to him." She said.

"It's not over and oh I'm pregnant with his child." I said and she spat the water that she was drinking.

"Come again." She said.

"You heard it right." I said.

Her look of horror was such a joy to see that I struggled to keep myself from laughing.

"So it's never going to be over between us." I said.

"I can't believe it." She said in a little annoying tone.

"Yes, even I can't believe it." I said a little angrily.

"What." She asked.

"That you're not helping Andrew when you know the truth." I said to her.

"If it's possible I would have helped him." She said.

"Megan I know that there is something that you're hiding." I said.

"Why don't we work together." I asked her.

"No, I'll help him in my way." She said.

Why does she hate me so much?

"Then if there's nothing I'll be going." She said.

"Wait, why do you hate me so much," I asked her in frustration.

"Must there be a reason for me to hate you?" She said coldly.

"Tell me... What I did so wrong for you to hate me so much tell me." I asked her

"Do you know how it feels when no one acknowledges your existence?" She said in a hurtful tone and with empty eyes.

"I know... How it feels." I said looking at her.

"You do." She asked with raised eyebrows.

"I do, It's like... a piece of used thrown paper that no one cares even if they notice it, like the whole world decided to ignore you, abandon you, that you slowly start to think that if you are even visible to people.

And when loneliness and darkness catch up to you then you become a numb person who is functioning without any emotions like a robot because mentally you're tired and want to keep this act of living till this boring and fucking life ends." I said with so many mixed emotions.

"I... Well... Oh." She said hesitantly.

"I was in that pit of darkness, where even if a truck is going to hit me I would just stand there without a care in the world, I was on my endpoint, if Andrew would not have been there for me I would have given up on myself long ago, if I didn't meet him I would not be here talking with you right now, he is truly an angel who saved my life, he is the light of my life who pulled me out of my darkness."

"Oh." She said simply.

"And now I understand why you hate me, when I and Andrew first started dating his attention and focus was all on me because I was struggling with my anxiety and depression that's..."

"No it's was not because I was desperate for attention or he was focused on you more than me it's because... When I needed him the most he helped you instead of me he choose you and I was almost forgotten by him." She said interrupting me in middle.

"No, it's not true, not once that he forgot about you, he always talks about you and he loves you the most." I said.

"I'm going." She said and got up.

"Im sorry." I told her she just looked at me and left.

I'm still at the coffee shop when I got Megan's text to my huge surprise, It said...

'help me'

Oh God, I think she's in trouble.

I tried to call her but she's not picking up. I sent a text to Paul before going to her house.

Now I'm in front of her home, I knocked a few times there was no reply, so I decided to just go in and to my surprise the door was open.

I went inside and this place is so damn quiet like there is no living soul here.
Is she even at home?

I called her name a few times and there is no reply, then I called her and she is not picking up. If she is not at home then where can she be?

I decided to check her room and it was open, but the strange thing is that her phone is on her bed but she's not present here.

As I was about to go, I heard a faint sound.
