Complications

Part 36

I have been on the phone with Niall for hours. We laughed a lot and I really enjoyed it. For a moment I forgot about all the guilt I felt before. I look at my phone and notice that it’s 3 am. Everyone is sleeping. But suddenly I hear a noise downstairs. It’s not the noise you would hear when someone would go take a drink.

The brave type I am, I go downstairs as silent as I can to look for whoever makes the noise. When I reach to where the noise is coming from I see Stephanie in my kitchen, on the phone.

‘Come on Daniel, answer.’ I hear her whisper. Daniel? Why is she calling him? Okay he’s her brother but still, why in the middle of the night? I better stay to listen.

‘Get to your phone faster you idiot.’ I hear her say so I assume he has answered the phone. ‘I can’t do this Daniel. She is like a sister to me, she always has been, I won’t do it.’

Do what? Damn it Daniel! Is he really this stupid to get his sister in on his shit too? Maybe I’m jumping to conclusions but this doesn’t seem right. What did she needed to do? With Daniel, you never know. I hear her hang up the phone so I quickly hide. I’m thinking about confronting her or just let it go. Cause I don’t want to know what Daniel is up to again.

Forget it, I’m too tired and too stressed right now to deal with Stephanie. I’m still not over the fact that I’m the reason that Niall’s dad.. Stop thinking about it Megan! I just feel so weird. It took me a while to give in to my feelings but I really like Niall. Even though he deserves better. I don’t get why he’s interested in me. But I’m glad that he is. I’ll just go to bed and try to sleep. Stephanie can wait.

Suddenly I hear someone knock on my door. ‘Hey, can we talk?’ I hear Stephanie’s voice followed by her head appearing through the door. I guess I do need to deal with her today..
