Chapter 28

Megan's P.O.V.

Natalie was trying to be tough with handling her parent splitting up, but how could you? This isn't something you hear everyday, it is something you never want your parents to say. It is something that throws your world into a crazy new pattern. Since they adopted me, I now have to worry about it also, but for some reason I'm not really that upset about it. It's as if I already figured something like this would happen.

Thinking back I can tell there were clues. Our parents have been acting strange here lately when they are around each other, and her dad has been easily angered and has lost a lot of weight. I just thought it was stress but I guess that wasn't the whole story. I guess there was a lot more to the story than it seemed.

Nat- So what are we going to do?

Me- What do you mean?

Nat- Well mom or dad gets custody, with what is going on I think mom is going to win. Do you want to do that?

Me- Isn't it a bit early to be thinking about all of this.

Nat- I don't know, I'm just trying to figure everything out now so I don't have to worry about it later.

Me- I get it. Let's hangout and talk about this. Where are you?

Nat- The beach

Me- I'll be there asap stay there

I get dressed and grab my keys as I head out to get my bike. It's kinda chilly out right now but everyone else took the cars, so what am I supposed to do? I drive there hoping that she hasn't done anything to herself or anything else that was stupid.

I get to the road that leads to the beach and I park my bike close to wear the sand starts. I didn't want the sand to harm my baby, so I just walked over to wear she was sitting.

She looked like an absolute mess, her hair was everywhere, her face was red and puffy. She was sitting on the hood of her car just staring off in the middle of nowhere.

"Hey Nat?" She doesn't look up at me when I say her name.

"Yea?"

I pull her close to me after I get comfortable, "Do you want to talk about it?"

"I don't know," her voice sounded dead as she spoke.

I start running my hands through her unruly hair, humming some tune that had randomly popped in my head. I feel my shirt getting wet and hear her sniffling, but I don't do anything. I let her cry it out. It's rough, she needs me and it's only fair that I'm here for her, since she was there for me.

After she was done we just sat there in silence, "What do you want to do now?"

She looks up to me," I have no idea. I feel as if my life is being torn apart.:"

"I know. It will be alright. High school is almost over and after that you can just start off fresh."

She looked up at me and smiled, "Yea, that sounds nice. Can we start off fresh now?"

I shake my head," No we are finishing school no matter what."

She nods her head and gets back into her car. We have probably been here for hours.

I know she needs me to be there for her, but I don't know if I can be. Like I don't know what to do. I think she needs space but at the same time, does she? I don't want to overstep my boundaries and make her uncomfortable, but at the same time I'm worried that I am not here enough for her.

She drives back and I follow her on my bike. I hope she doesn't try and do anything stupid like she did...

*flashback*

I loved Natalie to death I just don't know. I Looked into the mirror. Damn! My eyes look like racoon eyes. I clean up my makeup and helped Natalie clean up hers. I put everything in my bag. I turned my back and when I turned back around I saw her cutting.

"Natalie NO! Stop, She kept on cutting not even listening to me," Natalie don't do this. Its wrong don't do it."

She looked into my eyes, her scared puppy dog eyes looking into mine," I have to if I cut just enough I will die. And I want to die. Megan, I can't take this just kill me!"

"No I can't kill you! I won't kill You! Don't do this to me!"

Natalie looks at me with a tear rolling down her cheek. Then cuts her wrists. Blood flows out of her cut.

I ran to get help.

"My friend is in the bathroom she just slit her wrists! Help!"

The lady and a few police officers go to the bathroom to get Natalie just as her aunt walks in. I run into her Aunt's arms crying.

"Wheres Natalie?! What happened?" She asked frantically.

*flashback over*

I pull into my driveway and park by Nat's car. She and I sit there for a moment, laying our heads on the wheels/ handlebars.

I get off my bike and open her door for her. She looks up with the saddest look I've ever seen her wear, on her face.

"What do I do Megan? What do I do now?" She lays her head back on the wheel.

I grab her hand and she unbuckles her seatbelt," I don't know what you and I are going to do, but I know for sure we are going to be in this together."

She nods her head and walks into the house, I follow a few steps behind her. Her parent's are in the living room but she just walks straight up to our room. When she get's in there I realize the past few minutes felt like they were playing in slow motion. We lay on our beds staring at the ceiling.

"What do you think about the idea of just renting an apartment together?" She says in a hushed tone.

"Sounds good..." I say before I drift off to sleep. 

 

So okay guys I would like you guys to give me so of your opinions. I was thinking about making a sequel of Natalie and Megan living in an apartment together and finishing high school.  So would you please give me some idea's in the comments of how that should play out or if you think I shouldn't do that and just end it. I really would appreciate it. I'll tell you more later! Love you loves! Mwah!

Btw I'm not just going to stop here on this one I am going to write more,  I was just thinking about doing the sequel and was wondering your opinions for after I finish this one.
