*Megans p.o.v*
I wasnt all that mad.
Just needed to think about everything. The whole thing had me quite confussed.
Where does the name Dan replace the name David? Sure they both started with D's but thats about it.
I was honestly more confussed about his name then him bullying me.
We were young, I understand. Even though it hurt I understood that people change.
From the way he acted with me now, I could tell he has changed from elementary school.
Thing is, I did want to make him feel bad about what he had done to me when I was little. When I grew up, I couldnt do anything without feeling judged or mocked for what I was doing. I always thought people were talking behind my back, saying negative things about me making me feel insecure about the way I look and the way I acted.
I turned away from him, telling him goodnight before I closed my eyes. About 15 minutes went by when I felt him grab my waist as he laid down besides me.
"I'm sorry Megan. I truely am. Goodnight"
I knew he was truely sorry, but I didnt want to just forgive him. It would be an easy way out for him. I'll let him know I forgive him when the time is right.
********************************************
I slowly opened my eyes to a small meal laid out in front of me with a note.
"Truely sorry."
Breakfast in bed? You didnt hear me complaining. I sat right up and immediately started to devour everything on the plate. I honestly dont know what it was, but when you havent eaten in days you'd eat anything really.
"Megan?" Emilys voiced yelled from the living room.
"You awake?" She asked.
"Yeah I'm awake." I said with my mouth stuffed with food.
She entered my room and sat at the end of the bed giving me a 'look'. It took me a while to notice, but I finally started to realize she was even giving me the look of, 'what the fuck happened'.
"Can I help you?" I asked her with a little bit of sas in my tone.
She raised her right eyebrow at me and still gave me the 'look'.
"What did I do."
"What happened last night? Dans been acting really weird. He hasnt left your side at all and he even went out to catch food for us and gave most of it to you. All I know is that half of your food, should have been mine." She smiled, joking about the last part.
"At least you got something to eat though." I smirked back
"Seriously though, did something happen?"
"Sorta." I responded as I ate another piece of food that was laying in front of me.
"Liiikkeee?" She dragged on.
"Its really nothing, I'll tell him theres nothing to worry about." I smiled up at her, hoping she wouldnt ask further questions. I didnt want Emily to know that Dan was the one who bullied me. She was young at the time when it happened but I bet she'll still remember some of it. And who knows what Emilys capable of if I told her Dan was the one who hurt me for all of those years. She'd think poorly of him, woudlnt she?
I knew she would.
"Everythings fine then though, right?" She asked making sure I wasnt going to lie to her.
"Yes I'm sure everything will be fine. Dont worry about us." I reassured her, "go out to the living room and play some video games or hang out with Jess and smidge." I suggested.
She sighed, pushed herself off of my bed and agreed to go out into the other room.
Dan came in shortly after, "you okay?" He asked.
I nodded my head while I put the food on the side table next to the bed.
"So, uh. Whats up?" He asked awkwardly.
I couldnt keep a straight face at his awkwardness.
He started to smile and laugh along with me, "Does this mean your okay?"
"I'll be fine." I reassured him.
"Okay, you mad?" He smirked at me and poked my side.
"Eh." I tried saying with a serious face.
"People change, I have a question though."
"Yeah? You can litterally ask anything!" He announced happily.
"Where'd you get the name Dan from?"
