"I saw Megan on the night that she died" I cried. I allowed myself to cry, sob even. Letting all the memories soak back in. I put my head into my hands and turned away from Harry. I couldn't look at him right now, I wouldn't. I didn't want to see the disappointment and hate in his eyes, it would kill me.

"What? Len, what are talking about?" Harry asked, confused. It was becoming hard to breathe, my head was spinning and my heart was beating so hard I could feel it in my ears.

"Len?" Harry asked, reaching out to touch my arm before I forcefully pulled it away from him, before falling to the ground.

"Lennnon, its okay" I can feel the tears coming down as he crouched to the floor and pulled me towards him.

"It's ok. It's ok, It's ok." he kept repeating, bringing me closer to him everytime I tried to pull away slightly. He was so close I could smell his extraordinary scent.

"Lennon, please just tell me what happened" He begged.

* Flashback to the Night of Megans Disappearance*

"Lennon" My dad said sternly, coming through the door. I quickly shoved my phone under neath my pillow case, so my dad wouldn't see it before standing up.

"Yes Daddy" I said, cheerfully. making sure to stand up straight. He hated it when I slouched and he hated it when I spoke to him in a moody tone, especially after a long day at church. 'Remember to always smile Lennon, always' my mother always said.

"Have you done all your school work?" He asked sternly.

"Yes Daddy" He didn't like me calling him 'father' or 'dad' he said those terms were too grown up and didn't suit me. I also made sure to keep my eyes down, he didn't like when me or my mother looked him in the eye whilst he was questioning us.

"Prayed?" He asked Sternly.

"Yes Daddy"

"Good. you will help your mother with dinner tomorrow. will tiger be joining us?" he asked. I was surprised, happily, I didn't think he was that found of Tiger.

"Erm no, she wont be able to tomorrow" I said, smiling tightly.

"That's disappointing. Why's that? And stand up straight when im talking to you" I instantly striaghtned my posture.

"She has a date" I smiled, remembering how exictied she was. She said she couldn't tell me their name but she would tell me everything that happened and that was enough to make me happy. Sometimes I felt like I lived my life through Tiger. I have never been on a date, Daddy wouldn't let me. I had never even been really touched by a boy unless you count Danny's hugs.

"A date?" He scoffed. "Always had a bed feeling about that girl"

"What?" I asked, shocked.

"You say Pardon me Lennon! And I ask the questions here not you, speak when your spoken too, do you understand?!" He snapped, his tone instantly making me want to cry.
