Chapter 5.

🔃Megan Carter's POV 🔃

"No, please! Leave me alone. Let me go. I don't want to do this! Get off me! Get your filthy hands off of me!" I pleaded as he tried to remove my shirt.

"Stop struggling, you little bitch! You never gave me anything! But now I'm going to take it from you!" He screamed at me. His voice hoarse.

"No! I broke up with you,Nick! No! Don't! Please don't do this to me." I pleaded. He ripped off my shirt and held my hands firmly.

"Get off her!" A loud voice boomed in the room. I turned to see my brother standing there, his eyes looking murderous. He marched forward and took Nick by the collar. I didn't want to see the violence so I just closed my eyes but I could hear the screams of-"

"Megan, Megan! Wake up!" I could hear Emily scream.

"Huh? What happened? Where am I? Where is Aiden? Is he fine?" I got up to find myself covered up in a puddle of sweat while tears flowed down my face furiously and my hands trembled.

"Megan! Calm down. You're with us. Everything is fine. Aiden is okay." Corrie whispered as she rubbed soothing circles on my back. I couldn't help it. I burst into tears, latching onto Corrie like my life depended on it. I faintly sensed Emily going out of the room. She returned a few minutes later with a glass of water.

"Here, have some." She said offering me the glass. I let go of Corrie and took the glass of water. I downed almost the whole glass and tried to compose myself.

"Feeling better?" Corrie asked.

"Yeah, thanks guys. It was just one of those stupid nightmares again." I said with a slight smile.

"But you haven't had one in a while. Right?" Emily asked, eyeing me doubtfully.

"Right. Maybe seeing that guy try to take advantage of Corrie just triggered the memories." I lied smoothly.

"That son of a bitch!" Corrie swore."Such a fuckin' bastard!"

"Wait. I'm confused. Who are we talking about? Nick or The creepy guy from the club?" Emily asked jokingly.

"Both!" Me and Corrie said at the same time, making all the three of us laugh.

"What time is it?" I asked Ems, once our laughter died down.

"It's nine o'clock and today is the only day we have to go around Vendetta. I called for a cab which should be here by 10. So we should start getting ready." She explained.

"Oh. And when did you guys, you know....Hear me?" I asked, uncomfortably.

"We heard you screaming about half an hour back and were trying to wake you up since then." She said.

"So, you both heard most of it?"

"Yeah." She said. " But it's not the first time it's happened, so....But it's been a while."

"Yeah, a while." I said looking straight ahead. "Anyway, how come our sweet little Corrie over here doesn't have a hangover?" I smirked.

"We got up about an hour back. She took some disprins, so she's fine. Plus, she's kinda used to it." Ems joked.

"True that." I chuckled. "Anyway, forget about all that! What happened with you and Matt last night!?" I demanded.

"Nothing much happened. We spent the night talking and laughing. And he was just perfect. Then I came and joined you guys when 'scream' came on. And after that we just danced with each other and man, can he dance. Then that scene with Corrie took place and we left. Once we came back and you went to sleep, I walked him towards the door and he asked me out on a date today. At first, I declined because I was here with you both and it was supposed to be our time but then he begged me and told that it'll be only for an hour. And I eventually gave in when he made his puppy dog face. That bastard!" She smiled.
