Flick of a switch

Chapter 20

I woke up to the alarm on my phone waking me up. I checked my phone time to see it was and it said 9:36am. I checked my notifications to see '7 missed calls from 'V✨' and '4 missed calls from 'Kevin🤙' I swiped left on the missed call notification from Veronica and selected 'call back'. I laid back on my bed while the sound of ringing went to my ear. On the 5th ring, I got an answer but it was Kevin? I spoke into the microphone. "Hey Kevin, why did you both ring me loads last night?"

"Oh my god Megan, you're alright? Where are you" He said, shocked at the fact that I was safe.
"I'm at the inn around the corner. I went for a walk last night and I kind of got into a massive argument with Mickey. I did a runner and stayed at the nearest place that I could afford which was this place." I finished and he sighed.
"I'm coming to pick you up, where are you?"

"I'm literally just around the corner. I can walk." I laughed but he was determined to pick me up so I gave in and got dressed, handed my key into the office and waited outside on a bench.
I saw a car pull up outside and the window rolled down to reveal Kevin signaling me to get in the car so I got in the passengers seat. As soon as I got in the car, Kevin started speaking. "What was the argument about that made you stay out last night after it?"

"Mickey brought up the whole pregnancy thing and called me a whore so I kind of broke down for no reason and did a runner, I'm good now though." I sighed and gave a reassuring look to Kevin as he just nodded in understanding.
We pulled up outside the house and before I opened the door Kevin stopped me.
"You look like shit by the way." He laughed and I rolled my eyes playfully. I knew I looked like shit but I didn't really care. When we pulled up to the house, we saw Ian walking down the street, stumbling. When I got out I helped Ian up after he fell over and banged his head which was now bleeding. I could smell the vodka on him.

I led him inside his house and sat him down on the sofa as I fixed up his wound. He started to fall asleep "You want me to take you up to your room?" I asked and he nodded, slurring his words.
"ye- Noooo."
"Okay I'm taking you up." I said and pulled him up, dragging him up the stairs. When I opened the door, there was another person on the bed. Naked. He had dark skin and was quite tall and lanky. "What the fuck? Who are you?"
"Who are you?"
"I happen to be Ian's girlfriend!" I said with hate in my voice as Ian fell against the wall and slid down it.

"Wha- you didn't tell me that you were bisexual and had a girlfriend man!" The stranger said to Ian as I stepped in front of him.
"Never mind changing the subject. Who are you?" I said sighing and calming down. Who was it?
"As a matter of fact me and Ian have been seeing each other for a while." I gave an annoyed laugh and looked at Ian.
"yeah don't give an explanation... it's fine." I said on the verge of tears.

I walked out slamming the bedroom door and running down the stairs as I got stopped by Fiona. "Hey, what's up Hun?"
"Nothing thanks." I muttered then ran as I heard him calling my name from upstairs. I ran to the open space under the train track where I bumped into Abigail again.
"Watch where your going, Jesus."
"Sorry" I wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone right now. Just go home and chill.
"Woah what's up."
"Ian. He cheated on me with some random guy he probably never knew until like 2 days ago." I said and tried to walk off.

I stopped in my tracks and turned to her. "You've put weight on."
"Yeah I'm uh... pregnant. Where is this guy Ian cheated on you with?"
"That makes two of us... and he's at his house I think. Why?" I asked and she walked off in the direction to the house. Why was she being so nice to me? I started to walk off again until a hand grabbed mine and I turned to see Ian. I pulled my hand out of his grip. "Get off of me."
"Listen. I love you."
"Prove it."

There was a silence between us as he opened his mouth to speak but closed it again. "Exactly, you can't prove it. I just walked in to help you to your room and I walk in to see a random person that none of us has ever seen before, naked, on your bed." I said and looked at him. He cheated on me but he just looks so innocent. He looked at me and kissed me. I missed the feeling of his lips but as I pulled away from the hug, I saw Abigail come around the corner with a hammer covered in blood.

"What the fuck did you do?" I gasped.
"It was necessary. I know what it's like to be cheated on." She said and Ian started to run as I followed, dragging Abigail behind me. We reached the Gallagher household to see Fiona sat next to his dead body and Ian turned to Abigail.
"It was a fucking prank. I was doing it because I was going to propose to Megan!" He shouted and two police cars pulled up. The police out of one car went to the dead body and the others went after Abigail who had dropped the hammer and done a runner into the now dark streets.
