"I'm sorry I didn't pick up. I left my phone in the living room while baking cookies with aunt Mary and after that I completely forgot about my phone." I apologize.

"It's okay now. Just stop scarring me like that all the time. You know I get worried about you." He says.

"Yeah I know."

"I was just about to check when the next flight to JFK was" he chuckles.

"Seriously?" I laugh.

"Yeah" he answers.

"So how was your flight?"

"It was as good as a one hour flight gets" he answers and I hear some shuffling. "What are you doing?"

"Nothing. Just lying on aunt Mary's couch. Talking to my boyfriend" I say before thinking.

"He must be one lucky bastard." He says, causing me to giggle.
"That is such a beautiful sound." He says softly.

We go on talking for over fifty minutes, until Megan walks in and looks at me with that look of hers that says 'I need attention'.

I tell Chris I gotta go and he promises to call me again tonight. 

"You okay?" I ask Megan when Chris hangs up.

"No" she pouts.

"Wanna go to McDonald's?" I ask knowing that that will cheer her up at least a little. Food usually helps when she's sad.
She smiles and nods. Her smile doesn't fully reach her eyes though.

I take her to McDonald's after we pick Selena up. We're being driven by Pablo and Luke since my mom refuses to let me go by myself after yesterday. 

Believe it or not, Megan's already had over eighty nuggets next to the fries and fried chicken she ate. Right now she's about to order more nuggets. I swear this is the last time, cause I'm taking that credit card and all of the cash she has on her from her until I'm sure she can eat again. I know her. If I don't stop her, she'll eat until she throws up and then eat again. I don't want her to get into a food coma on my watch... or whatever you get when you eat too much. I don't know.

Selena and I are alone at the table. She's very quiet today. I wonder why. Just when I'm about to ask, she opens her mouth.

"Chan I need to talk to you... I mean I need to tell you something" she stutters.

"Yeah go ahead. What is it?" I say putting some fries into my mouth.

"Look I... um... I don't know... it's just that..." she stutters. She avoids my gaze.

"Are you okay? This isn't the first time you're trying to tell me this 'something' of yours. Talk to me I'm all ears." I say sitting up straight.

"Look. Don't get mad okay" she says nervously.

"I can't promise that, but I can promise you that I won't kill you" I joke to lighten her mood. She huffs out a laugh and continues.

"I.. I'm y...-" she starts, but get cut off.

"You're an asshole!" Megan's voice shouts taking all of my attention away from Selena and what she had to say. I turn around and see her running through the doors. Instinct immediately kicks in and I go after her, having Pablo, Luke and Selena on my tail.

I notice that Jay-Sean is after her. Where the fuck does she think she's going? And why the hell is Jay-Sean practically chasing her?

We must look so weird running after one another like this.

"Darling stop! You'll get yourself killed!" Jay-Sean shouts at Megan.
"Don't!.. you fucking darling me!" Megan shouts back when she stops. She's completely out of breath for running this short distance. Well yeah, she's not the athletic type. She hates sports. Meanwhile Jay-sean on the other hand looks chill as fuck.

"Why are you running away from me? What's wrong?" Jay-Sean asks her. Is he for real?
I stop at a distance to let them 'talk'.

"Are you kidding me? What's wrong? You're impossible!" Shouts Megan, bending over to rest her hands on her knees.

"Baby, I had no choice! What was I supposed to do? Get disowned and dumped somewhere in Croatia? I don't see where that would turn out good for us! Look I'm sorry okay!"

"That doesn't make anything right! That doesn't make the way you dismissed me in front of your family right! I didn't expect you to choose for me, but I did expect some respect for what we have... had! You coldly dumped me without thinking twice. They said so many things about me that were untrue, but not once did you try to stick up for me. Do you know how much it hurt to see their proud faces after what you said to me?"

"Yeah I know. But do you think it was easy for me to do that? I had to do it to convince my parents that we were through. It was either going to Croatia and never see or hear from each other again or stay here and have my parents think that we're no longer together. I did what I did so we could still be together Megan" Jay-Sean says. His voice softer when he says the last part.

"So what are you saying? That you want us to be together, but your parents shouldn't know about it?" Megan asks, folding her arms against her chest.

"Yes. Exactly"

"But I don't want to be a secret Jay-Sean. If your family doesn't accept me now then when will they? How long will I have to wait? I don't think I want to put myself through all of that. I deserve more than that." Megan says softly as the tears stream down her face.

"Please baby don't give up on us. I love you. You know I do. Together we can make it. I don't care about being disowned. It's being away from you that kills me. I'm fucking scared of losing you and I'd do anything to keep you. Please Megan. Please"
