Megan

Chapter 6

Seb POV

It's been a few days since Meg went to kiss me
And I barley see her. She is working all hours at the cafe and when she is home stays locked in her room. I can't believe how stupid I've been. The truth is I've always been in love with Meg, she has always been the woman I've loved. But with everything that happened I never got a chance to tell her. And when she came to me for help I knew I couldn't tell her not after everything she had been through.

And now all I've done is end up hurting her, I wanted to kiss her of course I did but I just feel like now would be the worst time for that. She needs to focus on the trial and getting that scumbag put away for good. I don't want her to be trading in one relationship for another. I haven't been able to explain any of this to her because she won't talk to me.

I've just got back home from the gym and I see her in the kitchen, she is wearing gym bottoms
And a sports bra and I can see all of her scars and she has never looked more beautiful. She turns around and screams.
"Shit!! Sebastian make some noise would you"
"Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you"
She nods and goes to walk away "wait Meg please"
"I can't Seb I've gotta get to work"

"Megan please we need to talk"
"No we don't. It's fine. Your you and I'm me and that's not going to change so we move on"
"What? What do you mean I'm me and your you?"
"It doesn't matter Seb, all the hours I've been working means I might be able to rent out a place soon. So I won't have to live here anymore"
"Oh......I didn't know....."

"Seb I appreciate all you have done for me but I can't keep living here. I'm sure you want to bring back girls and having me here is just going to cramp your style"
"Meg no....."
"It's okay" with that she walks away. She doesn't understand I don't want her to leave. I like having her here.

A few hours go by and I know Meg should be home anytime soon. So I decide to make dinner and set the table so we can hopefully have a conversation. I finish up and everything is set, I even got her favourite flowers. As I look up at the clock I see she is half an hour late. I decide to give her a call, the phone rings and rings but no answer. I decide to give it some more time, maybe she just got delayed.

3 hours later

It's been 3 hours and there is still no sign on Meg, I'm starting to get really worried, she has never been this late before. I decide to drive to her work and see if she is still there or not. As I pull up, I see Marcus sat outside. He is the owner, he looks angry. I walk over to him
"Hey Marcus, have you seen Meg?"
"You didn't hear"
"Hear what?"

He takes a deep breath "she was attacked Seb, Linda has taken her to the hospital"
"What the hell? Who attacked her?"
He points over to the side, a police car is sat with a man standing in hand cuffs.
I storm over "why the fuck did you attack Megan?"
He smirks at me and I have to hold my self back from smacking him in the face.

"Heard she liked that kind of thing"
"What the fuck?"
"Sorry sir, please stay back. We will be taking him into custody now"
"Why did you do it?"
"Paid too" he winks as they place him the car. He isn't even sorry.
I walk back to Marcus and he looks just as mad as I am.
"What hospital?"

He tells me and I rush over there, as I get inside I see Linda, she is pacing the floor.
"Linda?"
"Oh Seb, I'm so sorry. I wanted to call you but she wouldn't let me"
"It's okay. Where is she?"
She points towards the double door in front of me and I nod. I walk towards and knock. Hearing a faint "come in"

As I step inside, I gasp at what I see. She is covered in bruises and blood. Her lip is cut, her eye swollen. She looks up at me and I see her lip tremble. I walk towards her and wrap my arm around her. She leans against my chest and sobs. I hold her tighter and try to calm her down.
"Shhh Meg I'm here. It's okay"
I hold her until she falls asleep. I'm not letting this woman out of my sight from now on. This can't keep happening to her .
