"What?" I ask with a lump in my throat. "Megan."

"Were you even going to tell anyone?" Chris asks, but Megan doesn't answer. "And how did you not know?" He asks turning to me.

"How was I supposed to know Christian? It's not like I was there." I answer slightly irritated by his question.

"It wasn't rape." Megan whispers. "Please I don't want to make a big deal out of this."

"Then what was it!" Christian shouts hitting the table with his fist, making the both of us jump. "Did you agree to it? Did you say yes? Did you want to?"

"No." Megan says. Her voice is small and probably scared. Damn I kind of am too.

"Christian please take it easy." I plead. "Megan talk to me. What exactly happened?" I ask taking her hands from her lap, but she doesn't answer.

"Honey..." Chris says walking over to her. He sits on the chair in front of her and moves a lock of hair out of her face. He puts his hand behind her neck and continues. "We can't help you if you don't talk to us."

"But maybe I don't want help." Megan says looking up into my eyes.

"What do you mean?" I ask softly.

"Maybe I'm happy right now and I don't want all the drama. Can't we just leave things like they are?" She now sobs.

"Because Megan, nobody should get away with something like this." Chris says turning his hand into a fist behind her neck, getting some of her hair in it without hurting her.

"I never said he raped me you know. I might not have agreed to it, but I never said no. I didn't tell him to stop. So maybe it was my fault. Maybe I gave him the wrong idea." She cries.

"You're not blaming yourself for this. Are you?" I ask and she shrugs. "Megan it's not your fault. You didn't ask for it."

"I don't know. It was just fucking horrible. It hurt so bad and he didn't even care. All he said the whole time was 'hush baby. It'll be over soon'" she says shivering at her last words as the tears keep coming.

The sounds of glass shattering against the wall startles us and we turn to look in that direction.
"If I catch that mother fucker he fucking won't make it. I'll kill him with my fucking bare hands." Chris shouts storming out of the kitchen and out of the house.

"This is why I was scared to tell him. I don't even remember calling him and what I said." Megan says. Her lips are trembling.

"Don't worry about him. He needs some time alone to calm down. Let's hope he doesn't come across that boy, cause I'm not sure if he knows that people can't get bailed out for murder." I say earning a smile from Megan. "Why didn't you tell me Meg?"

"I was scared of your reactions and how you'd look at me after you knew. I tried to tell you a few times and I knew you'd listen to me and comfort me, but then I just chickened out and spoke about something else.... cause I was that scared."

"Oh Megan..." I say kissing her on her forehead.

"Can we please stop talking about this tho? It's not easy talking to people I love about it." She pleads.

"We'll drop it for now if you promise to talk openly about it to someone. Chris is supposed to take us out later." I say at the same moment that I hear some noice entering the kitchen.

My mom and Drew enter the kitchen while having a what seems to be a steamy conversation.

Megan wipes her face clean before they notice anything and puts a smile on her face.
