Megan's P.O.V
I park the uncomfortably silent car in the House of Night parking lot. The engine cuts off when I open the door. Twiddling the keys in my hands I grip onto them tightly to stop the tears from my eyes.
"Megan, are you sure that you're okay?" Erin asked. I turn to look at the Twins.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I smile and lie.
"There you two are!"
Two boys come jogging to Erin and Shaunee. I recognize one of them as Cole, Erin's boyfriend. The boys embrace the girls in hugs and I smile at the sight. The four separate, their attention now on me.
"Megan this is T.J. my boyfriend." Shaunee motioned to the boy with his arm around her waist.
"T.J. this is Megan." She added.
"I like your tattoo." T.J. said. Before I picked up the girls I had washed off the coverup on my forehead.
"Thanks." I smile.
"Cole, I need to talk to you. You too T.J." I said. The two nodded and I step out of earshot of the Twins.
"What's up Megan?" Cole asked.
"I have to leave." I state.
"Why?" Cole asked.
"Its not good for me to be here. My family needs me right now and I'm already causing too much drama here anyways." A tear streamed down my face.
"And..." My body started to shake.
"And I can't look at any of your guys' faces anymore. It hurts me to see you all hung up in my mess. I just...I have to go." I finish.
"What do you expect us to do?" T.J. asked me.
"Hold the Twins back." I state.
The keys tightly gripped in my hands drop into Cole's hand. Looking at the two for conformation. They nod in response.
"Thank you." Another tear falls.
Every step I took to pass them, another one fell. My feet stopped and I shouldn't have but I just had to see them. Just one last time before goddess knows what happens. Erin and Shaunee meet my eyes, the eyes looking back at them tearstained and begging for forgiveness.
"Bye." I mouth.
That's all it took for them to know. For them to start running towards me. They didn't want to lose anyone else and I was basically offing myself off. T.J. and Cole tug them by their waists holding them back. Their screams and cries reach my ears, made me wince. My chest aches when I turn the rest of my body away from them. Closing my eyes and taking a deep breath, I take another step. Another tear.
More steps and more tears come after that. And honestly? I didnt think that they were ever gonna stop. Even if I stopped walking.....
"Hello?" I whisper call. My voice echoes through the house I just walked into. I close the white wooden door behind me and take a few steps in.
"Megan?" A girl calls.
"Who's there?" I ask.
" Megan! Oh my God! Please help me!" I check the first door, locked. But she's in there. I know this girl.
"You'll be okay, Caroline. I need to find Kat." My words fade down the hall as I walk away towards the stairs.
"Kat! I'm home!" I yell. The tall manipulative brunette now stands in front of me. A smile on her face and one on mine. She reaches out her arms and I embrace her in a hug.
