Chapter 20

Megan POV

After our talk Ryan fell asleep on my lap and here I am sitting like a total weirdo still running my fingers through his hair. I can't help but look at how relaxed he is. I don't actually remember when I've seen this relaxed. He's always had his eyebrows furrowed or his hands scratching his light stubble when he is thought. Sometimes he even clenches his jaw when he is frustrated and I don't even know why I notice this about him. I just do.

Well I got to move before my I can't feel my legs. I gently lift his head and place a pillow under and grabbed both our coffee cups before heading over to the kitchen to place them in the dishwasher. This new place is supposed to make us feel safe, but with all the guards surrounding the place with guns I hardly feel that way.

I placed the cup in the dishwasher when I hear two voices from the living room across me. I turned to see who it was and it is Ryan's mother talking to some new lady. I didn't know they allowed new people here. Maybe they are flexible now and if it's possible I might head out to get a good cheese burger. I could really use one. I can't remember the last time where I sunk my teeth in the comfort of cheese.

"Megan??" Ryan's mother calls me from the living room distracting me from my short lived happiness thinking about the cheese burger.

I turned to look at her and gave her a wave. "Come here dear, I want you to meet someone".

"Megan, this is the all rounded Doctor Hughes, a long time family friend " she said pointing to the redhead lady who looked nothing but professional with her sleek black clothes, nude heels and pinned up hair

" Please call me Julia." She interrupted and offered her hand forward which I shook.

" And this is Megan : a friend of Ryan's ". Ryan's mother interrupted. What is her name by the way? I've never heard anyone call her by her name, just mom.

"oh a friend of Ryan? It's been awhile eh? " replied Doctor Julia with a smile towards me. What is that all about? I felt my phone buzz in my pocket.

"I'm sorry, but I have to go, i'll be in my room if you need me." I gave both of them a mutual nod and left. Not having the patience to wait until my room to view the message on my phone, I stood next to the kitchen on the walkway and checked who it was.

From : Lea <3 <3

I know you're downstairs, get me dem chips from the snack cupboard.

PLEASE

XOXO

Just as I was about to head to the kitchen i heard them talking from the living room.

" Are you sure Ryan is still not ready? " I overheard Julia asking.
" I don't think he will ever be ready, maybe in a few years, but definitely not now. This case is just like before Julia and he keeps having the headaches. What if he remembers? " Ryan's mother replied.

What are they talking about? What is it that Ryan has forgotten?

" we better hope he doesn't remember then Deb" So that's her name. Deb.

"Okay enough about the past, I'm heading into the going to stand in the balcony for a bit, could use some sunshine. Let me know if you need anything". I heard Deb say and followed by the sound of the doors to the balcony close.
