Leon was lying on his bed, trying to find a way to not only confront Mike and James for taking things too far but also the fact that if he didn't get the body camera soon, then Melody would get expelled. All the stress from the events is piling up inside, and he feels the need to pent up his frustration, but he knows that if he leaves his dorm and spots one of the two, a fight will surely break out. He then heard a small knock on the door. "Come in." The door reveals Megan walking in, and his inner turmoil subsides. "Hey, Megan." He couldn't help but be slightly confused as to why she knocked but recalled that incident. "You know... you don't have to knock since this is your room too."
"I know, but you never know what could happen." She sat down on her bed, running her fingers through her hair, and letting out a small sigh.
Leon took notice of her sigh and sat himself up from his bed. "Look... about what you saw-"
"Don't worry about it. Although I still think you should've told me about you two. I would've supported you guys." She says with a gentle smile.
Hearing that made Leon feel slightly better, but it didn't stay for long. "Megan... I need your help..."
"Help with what?" She asked.
"It's about... what Mike and James... we screwed up."
"Screwed up? How?"
"They were onto us, they knew that we were trying to catch them in the act but now they are going to get Melody in huge trouble."
"Why?"
"Well... Melody had a body camera she lent from her professor. Now it's gone, she's worried that if someone else took it then it would get her expelled for video voyeurism."
Megan walks over to him to reassure him. "Leon, I'm sure that won't happen. Melody won't get expelled, I'll help you with this... We are in this together."
Leon couldn't help but feel relieved by her words, although he still felt like he was failing her for not having much to expose Mike and James to prevent her from getting in trouble at graduation. Time was running out, and he was left empty-handed.
Megan could see the uncertainty in his eyes. She knew how much he promised her and himself to protect her. But it was time for Megan to let him know that she could handle herself, too. "Look, tell me who Melody's professor is. Maybe I can help her avoid getting into trouble."
"Sure, we can do it after class tomorrow, right now I want to try and not panic."
She let out a small sigh. "Don't fret Leon, besides I got this under control. I least I hope so."
He lies on his bed feeling frustrated and defeated, she goes over to sit on his bed. She glanced at the plush dog Timmy, who was sitting on his nightstand, and had a little idea. Leon had his eyes closed, he couldn't stop feeling like he was a failure in protecting the two people he cared about. Wanting all of this to be resolved, he sighed deeply.
"Don't feel so down Leon." He opened his eyes to hear a small childish voice, he glanced up to see Megan holding Timmy on his chest. "We will stop those meanies once and for all." He let out a small laugh at the way she made the plush walk and sway around as if it were talking to him. "They won't get away with their wrongdoing. So let's not pout and kick their asses."
He glanced away from the plush dog to Megan as she gave him a warm smile. With a small smirk looming on his lips, he sits up and puts her in a gentle headlock. "Trying to cheer me up like that huh? Such a dork you are." His hand now ruffling her hair, messing it all up and causing her to laugh.
"You are messing up my hair, Leon." She laughed as she continued to hold onto Timmy, making the plush dog fight back. Leon softly laughs as he gently takes Timmy away and places him back on his nightstand. He lets her pull herself out of his headlock, her smile still there. "Feeling better?" She asked.
