Forever ~ A bullying story ~ s.m

~the plan~ (chapter 39)

Meredith's P.O.V

"I'm listening" I say sitting down on the ground. They sit around me and Matthew sighs

"We have to figure out a way to prove that Shawn was drugged... and he thinks he knows who did it" Cameron says handing me his phone. It was the phone number of the club we were at that night

"how is this going to help. And who does he think drugged him" I say grabbing the phone out of his hand

"He thinks It was Hannah, and we need you to call them pretending to be Hannah's mother asking them if they recognize a girl that was there that night with Hannah's description" Cameron says. I nod my head and look at Matthew.

"what if he really was drugged... and I just loss the love of my life" I say tearing up

"hey, no don't talk like that, if we can prove that she drugged him, you'll be able to talk to him, but before we prove it, you have to act like you don't know he was drugged, so just act like it's a normal day. Just don't tell him you know" Matthew says scooting closer to me. I nod my head and press the call button, I put it on speaker and wait for someone on the other line to answer

stranger: Hello this is Devon's sport club, how can I help you?
me: hello, I was wondering If you could help me, I think my daughter was there a couple nights ago, Friday, did you guys see a girl with blonde hair, maybe 5'2? If it's a possibility, could I maybe come in and look at the security footage?
Stranger: I'm sorry ma'am, that's something we can't do, if it has something to do with the law, you might want to call the police
Me: alright, thank you. I'll do that"

"dammit" Cameron says rubbing his face

"wait, Shawn has a buddy that works there. Maybe if we go and talk to him he could help us" I say.

"okay, we'll go tomorrow, they won't be busy" Matthew says standing up. he helps me up

"don't worry, we'll figure things out" he says hugging me

"I hope so" I mumble into his chest

"I'm going to bed. It's been a long day. Goodnight guys" Cameron says walking out the room leaving me and Matthew alone

"I'm going to bed too, you can sleep in here if you want, I'll sleep on the floor" Matthew says looking into my eyes

"no, I mean I want to stay here...but you don't have to sleep on the floor" I mumble jumping onto the bed scooting as close to the wall as I can

"are you sure..." he says

"yeah, it doesn't mean anything. Were just sleeping" I say, he looked at me, hurt written all over his face

"yeah... it doesn't mean anything" He says looking down

"what's wrong Matthew" I say. he sits down on the bed and puts his head in his hands

"it's nothing, go to sleep" he mumbles and sighs

"no, tell me what's wrong" I say scooting closer. He turns around and smashes his lips on mine. I pull away and he looks down

"Meredith I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that. I was just in the moment" he whispers

"it's alright. I'm going to sleep goodnight Matthew" I mumble and turn away from him tears forming in my eyes

"goodnight Meredith" he says pulling the covers over us and facing his back towards me

What am I gonna do...

The next morning

I've been a wake for hours. Waiting for Matthew to wake up. rethinking my life options... considering suicide... I can't do this anymore. I don't have the energy to do this... I'm slowly giving up. any no one notices.

I feel Matthew move next to me before he slowly stands up

"good morning" he whispers slightly smiling at me

"good morning" I whisper back. I stand up and we walk out the room and down the stairs where everyone is sitting at the table, the only person missing is Shawn, but everyone gets silent when we walk in

"okay, stop being weird. Don't look at me like that. And don't say you're sorry. Because I already know" I say. I see them look down at the table

"alright then. Well what are we doing today?" Aaron asks

"well, me, Cameron and Meredith have plans already" Matthew says scratching the back of his neck. I hear shuffling behind me, I turn around and see Shawn standing in the doorway,

"I was just getting a water, then I'll go back to my room, alright" he whispers going to the refrigerator. He grabs a water and goes to walk out the door

"oh, and by the way... you left this in my room the other night" he mumbles setting something on the counter. He walks away and I grab the thing setting on the counter. It was a bracelet Shawn got me when we were in North Carolina. I turn around and look at everyone.

"we have got to fix this... before he goes crazy" Carter says

"so, everyone knows..." I whisper. Everyone nods as I sit down at the table

"yeah. We're all here to figure out what the hell happened that night" Taylor says.

"okay so Me, Cameron and Meredith are gonna go to the club tonight and figure out if she was there that night. If she was. We have two options. We can go to the police, and have them deal with it, but that could lead to Shawn hated all of us for the rest of our lives. Or we could find more information... and then take it from there. If she wasn't. I think we're gonna be forced to go to the police... because if he was drugged... and it wasn't Hannah. Then that means there's someone out there drugging peoples drinks. And that's something that can't happen" Matthew says. Everyone nods and I look around

"I don't know about anyone else. But I'm ready to take this cunt bag down" I say gritting my teeth

"us too Meredith, us too" Matthew says rubbing my shoulder
