Jimmy's POV

It was so good to be home, and it was especially good to be home with Megan. We had followed through with our original plan to move into my place, and we were just finishing up getting all her stuff put away. We were up in the bedroom, putting her clothes away and shit. I was pretty tired by the time we got everything done, and I collapsed onto the bed while dragging her down with me. Her body was in between my legs, and I had my arms around her. We laid there like that for a while, her head on my chest.

"Ugh, I feel like breaking some rules." I suddenly blurted out, and she laughed.

"Somehow that doesn't surprise me. But what rules are there to break?" Megan asked, moving her eyes up to look at me.

I sighed. "I don't know. Maybe we could go get arrested for chasing small children around and terrorizing their little minds while wearing clown costumes." Ok, don't ask, I was just taking something off the top of my head. Megan laughed again, and picked her head up to fully look at me.

"No, we're not getting arrested for that, Jimbo."

"Can we get arrested for something else?"

"No!" She exclaimed, grinning and rolling her eyes playfully. "Why do you want to break rules anyway? What is this sudden desire?"

"I'm not sure, I just haven't caused trouble in a while." I shrugged and she shook her head at me. "Can I prank call people?"

"I'm not against that." She smirked at me, and I let out a happy shout and scurried up off the bed for the phone, making Short Shit my first target. I motioned for her to join me as it rang, waiting for him to pick up. She grinned and joined me in on the fun of pissing people off with invalid calls. We probably did this for half an hour before bursting out laughing at all the people we made angry, and couldn't stop laughing enough to dial another number.

Johnny ended up calling back, probably figuring out that it was me who told him his lifetime supply of condoms was on it's way, and that he had to confirm the bill of 10,000 dollars. He yelled at me, telling me how wrong that was while Megan and I just sat there and laughed with him on speaker. When Johnny finally had enough  and hung up, I high-fived Megan triumphantly.

"That was awesome!" I exclaimed, and she giggled.

"He's really pissed now." I chuckled and nodded.

"Hence the fun of prank calling!"

For the next few hours or so, we just layed on our backs on the bed, our hands linked as we asked each other random questions. Sometimes they were from 'what's your favorite animal', to 'most humiliating moment'. Some were serious, and some were completely, utterly ridiculous.

"Ok, so, who did you look up to most as a kid?" I asked, and she thought about it for a moment.

"Well, for a long time I looked up to my older brother. He was pretty much my hero, he'd come to the rescue and save me if something were wrong. If I got picked on, he'd tell the person off or, depending on how bad it was, beat the shit out of them." Megan said, and I turned my head to look at her. She kept her gaze on the ceiling, and swallowed hard.

"Sooo.... what happened?" I questioned slowly and quietly.

"He, uh, disappeared when I was in sixth grade, just starting middle school. I believe he was in his sophomore year of high school when it happened. Nobody knows where he went or why, but I haven't seen him since. That was eleven years ago, I figure he's dead now." I could see her eyes dart around the room. I sat up slightly, and studied her face before speaking.

"Don't say that, he could still be out there somewhere, and maybe you'll find him some day. Have you tried looking for him?"

"Once." She said, moving her eyes finally to look at me. "Just after I'd found that he had left. There was a note, giving me his deepest apologies and wishing me luck in my life, saying that he'd never come back. I searched and searched with Kristina with her parents for a month before I just gave up. My parents didn't care enough to look themselves, and I think they're the reason he left." There was a small pit of anger in her eyes.
