Meg and Calvin Return

Part 3

---Calvin---

When he woke, he tried to move but his bones were stiff and he couldn't move. It were as if he were paralysed even though his brain knew he was awake.
He heard the voices of the nurses talking near him, and not long after, he heard what sounded like 4 sets of footprints.
"How is he?" He heard a familiar male voice say. But that wasn't what he was focusing on.
He could hear someone faintly crying. And then he felt someone grab his hand. Meg.
He didn't know how, but he could feel strength returning to his body. He squeezed Meg's hand and whispered her name. She jumped, but then smiled happily and hugged him tight. "Calvin, are you okay? I thought you were gonna die" she said, tears still rolling down her cheeks. "Im fine now" he said, hugging her back. Megs family came over.
"Calvin!" Charles wallace shouted hugging him as well. "The nurses told us what happened."
Calvin was confused. "What did they say?"
"They said your dad told them you slipped on a skateboard and hit your head on the desk. Your dad found you bleeding and unconcious and brought you here." Calvin was shocked. His dad had lied to the nurses?
"We're going to go get something to eat meg" megs mom said as she, megs dad and Charles Wallace walked away.
Meg grabbed Calvins hand. "Calvin tell me the truth and ill believe you. Is that really what happened? Or did you dad do this to you?" He wanted to lie. He didnt want anyone to know what horrible things went on at his house. But one look into megs eyes told him he couldnt lie to her. "My dad." He whispered.
"It was right after i texted you goodnight" he started. "He burst in my room demanding to know where id been all day. Then when i didnt tell him he grabbed my phone and looked through our messages. He started saying mean things. He shouted, i shouted, he hit me and when i wouldnt shut up he pushed me over the bed and i hit my head on my desk and i passed out."

---Meg---

Meg was shocked. She knew his dad was horrible, but she didnt know he was this bad. She held back her tears. "Why were you arguing about me?" She asked quietly. "He asked if you were my girlfriend and i said we were just friends." He said. Megs heart sank. She looked away from him but he squeezed her hand. "But he could tell I was lying." Megs heart skipped a beat. She looked up and stared into his icy blue eyes. And for that short amount of time, she didn't care about her family, or Veronica, nothing.
All she cared about was Calvin.
She sat on the edge of his bed and lay next to him as he moved over. The next thing she knew, his soft lips were on hers and she never wanted it to end.
She didn't know or care how long they had been lying there, until she heard an awkward cough behind them.
"Umm...Im sorry I didn't mean to interrupt" she heard a voice say.
The sat up and looked at the person in the doorway. A young girl. A girl their age.
"I was looking for my mom. The head nurse?" The girl asked. Calvin and Meg just looked at her. "Im sorry I have no social graces" she laughed awkwardly. "Im Allison".
"Hi im Calvin and this is Meg" Calvin said.
And although he never let go of her hand, Meg noticed that Allison was staring intently at Calvin...
