Megan

Chapter 4

Seb POV

Waking up the next morning, Meg is lay on my chest still, her arm wrapped around me and she seems at peace. I move her hair from her face and really see the wounds that scatter her face and neck. I just want to get my hands on this guy and kill him for what he did to her and what he almost did. If I hadn't of got there when I did, I hate to think what he could have done.

Meg stirs slightly and I feel her stretch next to me. She looks up at me and smiles
"Morning"
"Morning, how are you feeling?"
"I'm okay. Thank you for sleeping here"
"Of course. Whatever you need Meg I'm here"
"I'd be lost without you Seb"
After a few more minutes of cuddling we get up and get sorted for the day.

Meg seems okay, but I know her and I know she is probably bottling up all of her emotions. I decide to cancel my meetings today and spend time with her. Hoping to maybe get her out of the house. My agent isn't too happy but I don't care. Meg is more important right now.
"Hey Meg?"
I walk into the room she is staying in without knocking and I see her half naked.

She is covered in bruises and cuts and I can't believe my eyes.
"SEB!!!"
I quickly turn "shit!! Sorry!!!"
I hear her rushing to put her clothes on "what the hell?"
"I know I'm sorry. I should have knocked. I'm sorry"
She sighs "it's okay. What's wrong?"

"Nothings wrong, can I turn around now?"
"Yeah"
I turn and she is fully dressed.
"Was just wondering if you wanted to go get breakfast this morning?"
I see her hesitate "I don't know Seb"
"I know it's scary but I think you need to get out for a bit"
She looks over to me "promise you'll be there with me the whole time?"
"I promise"

She nods and I can't help but smile "we can go to this quiet place I know. Won't be any papz and we shouldn't get too much hassle from fans"
"Seb what if you do get pictured with me?"
"Well......I don't mind.....it doesn't bother me. Would it bother you?"
"I don't know really"
"We will be okay Meg"

We finished getting sorted and head out, we are going to a small cafe that I always go to. The owner is a good friend and he is great at keeping papz away and fans. So I can usually eat in peace. As we get there i feel Meg tense up. I take her hand and squeeze it gently. She looks up at me and gives me a small smile.

We sit down in the back and Malcom brings over the coffees and menus.
"Order what ever you want okay?"
"Okay"
She looks through and goes with the pancakes which I knew she would.
"Your breakfast order is still the same"
"Yeah I guess. I wasn't really allowed breakfast when I was with him"

"What?"
She shakes her head "he controlled every part of my life Seb. Including my food intake. He didn't want me to gain weight"
I can't help but feel even more anger. I can't believe he did this to her.
"Meg, I couldn't help but notice earlier you were covered in cuts and bruises and scars. Did he do all that?"
She nods and looks down, refusing to make eye contact with me. I take her hand and gently rub my fingers over her knuckles.

"No one will ever hurt you like that again okay"
She nods "thank you Seb"
"Your welcome"
Malcolm delivers the pancakes and I can see for the first time since she came to me, actual joy in her eyes. All because of pancakes.
