Annihilation

Bonus Scene :Meghan's Song

Meghan is going to puke her guts out. It is a fact . An inevitability. She can see it happening. Can feel it happening. This was a stupid idea. What was she thinking?
He wasn't supposed to be here.
But he is and he will know. There's no way he can't. As if the rumour mill wasn't already working extra hours gossiping about what happened in the cafeteria that day.Maybe she went a little overboard with the trash comment and all...but fuck if it didn't feel awesome. Completely opposite of what she was feeling right now.Lisa her partner on the other hand was cool as a cucumber.She is also the reason why Meghan knew that the song was beautiful. She read it to Lisa the first time in the cafe and she just walked out. An hour later she asked Meghan to meet her and she had the perfect melody to go with the lyrics. It was everything Meghan had imagined when she was writing it. And she had been so excited but now...
Why did she think this was a good idea?
She hadn't counted on Michael being here. Had figured that one time with Caroline was just a fluke since he hadn't shown the previous class. But he was here and he is going to listen to a song that she wrote about him after he publicly humiliated her.
Yeah just a regular day for dear old me.
Claps rung out from around her and Meghan jerked in her seat. They were next. Lisa stood up from beside and Meghan wiped her clammy hands on her jeans and then stood up and followed her. It took them a few minutes and one extremely loud screech  to set up the guitar . She could feel all the eyes on her. She could feel his eyes on her. But she steeled herself. She was going to do this.
Meghan looked at Lisa and nodded. She gave her a thumbs up and the very first chords of the song floated in the room
Meghan started to sing

You're fire, you're proud
But you're cold when it counts
It's open and shut
You can say you love me
But
Words ain't enough

Meghan closed her eyes and she wasn't in the classroom anymore, she was back in the playground with the boy who broke his own arm to save her from falling to the ground.She was back in the alley when he kissed her for the first time.She was in the lunch room when he threw her away.

You want me, you say
But then you turn away
And I'm pressing my luck
You can say you love me
But
Words ain't enough

Cut myself into
Pieces easy to chew
Carve me up into
Someone you'd like to choose
Till I'm only pieces of you

She let all the hurt and confusion she felt flow into the words.As if somehow they can cure it all.Then she opened she opened her eyes and held his green ones as she sung the words out one last time.

So, you can say you love me
But
Words ain't enough
So, you can say you love me
But
Words ain't enough

(A/N The song in the previous chapter was an original but this one isn't. Its called Words Ain't Enough by Tessa violet. Go listen to its an awesome song. And i couldn't find nor could write anything that would suit her better)

Meghan diverted her eyes to the ground as Lisa played the last chords and then silence. Meghan could feel her heartbeat thrumming in her ears. A few claps rung out and a girl in the front row , the one who sang that ballad the other day,whooped . All of a sudden the students were on there feet and clapping. Meghan felt the heat rise to her cheeks as their teacher congratulated them. She went back to her seat nodding her thanks to everyone . She didn't look at Michael again f. She didn't have the courage to but she could still feel his eyes on her. When the bell rung out Meghan quickly gathered her bag and skipped out of the class into the hallway.
She heard her name being called and she stopped as the girl from the front row caught upto her.
"Hey. Kate" She offered Meghan her hand "Meghan" she replied.
"That was a beautiful song. You're so going to get extra credit"
"Are you kidding? Your song was so much better. It was so beautiful and the lyrics? They were just..."
The warning bell rung out
Kate cursed "Oh shit. i've got to rush . It was nice meeting you."
"You too."
Meghan said as Kate started to walk away and then stopped and turned back to say "Also um...i didn't write the song"
Meghan looked at her "Oh? Well , who did?"
"Michael Morrison. He's in our class. Do you know him?"
