Love Me For Me

Chapter 4

The pic on the side is of Katie.

MEGAN'S POV

Ty had some sort of heart attack today. I got out of New York and was on my way home when the look on Ty's face made me turn the car around.

Dad is letting me go now. He wasn't going to but he found out that I'm cutting myself, and now he's letting me so and stay with Katie.

I don't know why, but there is something about the way his eyes pierce into mine.

I'm leaving tonight though. I told my teacher in my class with Ty, Jett, and Trace, and he must have overheard me, because he literally started to have a panic attack or something and he left.

I'm at lunch now, alone, as usual. The bullying isn't horrid at all today, all I get is glares from Amanda and her friends.

The table shakes. I look up and see Ty sitting across from my with his hands clasped. I'm reading The Fault in Our Stars.

I glance at him and then sigh, ready to be treated horribly, and then I look down at my book.

He's quiet for a very long time, and then he says, "What are you reading?"

my eyes snap up to meet his.

"Excuse me?" I ask.

"I asked what you're reading." he says.

I look around.

"Who sent you over here?" I ask quietly. "I really don't feel like talking right now."

"Nobody sent me." he says.

I study his eyes for a very long time.

"I'm reading the Fault in Our Stars."

He takes a deep breath. "Jett said that his girlfriend cried over that book." he says.

"Why did she cry?" I ask. "Does someone die?"

"I'm not going to spoil it for you." he says.

"Since when do you care about upsetting me?" I ask.

He sighs quietly and runs his fingers through his hair.

"I hurt you tell Mrs. Gong that you're going back to Georgia."

I sigh because I'm clearly not going to be able to finish my book. I shut it.

"You heard right."

"Stay." he says.

"What?" I ask.

"Don't go."

"Um..." I stutter. "Why do you care?"

"I-I-I-" he stutters.

The lights go out in the lunchroom and everyone starts to shout, confused.

The TV's turn on.

I look at Ty.

The screen shows Ty in a kitchen.

He looks so depressed.

I look at him, confused.

He looks so panicked.

"Please. Please, please stay." he begs. "Give me a change to fix what I did."

I open my mouth to ask him what he's talking about, but he runs off.

I turn my attention to the video.
