Chapter 14

**Logan**

"LOGAN!!" I heard Megan scream. I shot up and ran into her room looking straight at her bed to see she wasn't there. Then I heard a small whimper come behind me to the left. I looked to see she was standing there, her eyes watering.

"What's wrong?" I asked her, "Did you have another nightmare?" she shook her head "then what?"

"There's a spider,"

"What?" I am not sure if I am hearing right.

"Look," she said turning me and pushing me towards the wall opposite near her walk in wardrobe and there on the wall was a spider "you can't miss it,"

"Ok," I said "and it's not that big,"

"It's bigger than my freaking face," she nearly yelled.

"Ok ok it's big," I then smirked slightly as a thought came into my mind.

"You dirty minded man,"

"Oh come on you're just as dirty minded as me for thinking of the same thing," I argued. She sighs and looks at it.

"OMG it's moving please hurry up and get rid of it," she paused. "And your dog isn't any help, he just looked at it and went back to sleep."

I rolled my eyes and looked at the spider; it was fairly big, roughly about three inches if I counted the legs which were quite thick. I walked towards it and cupped it into my hands holding it. I turned and looked at her and she backed away.

"You know you screamed as if you were getting murdered," I said smiling. She frowned and then stepped back as I stepped forward "why are you so afraid of it?"

"Just get rid of it," she snapped. I sigh and walk out of the room and she follows me. I stopped when I saw Carl walk out of a spare room.

"Spider," I state. He frowned and walked over to us.

"Let me see,"he said, holding his hand out. I slowly handed him it and it crawled onto his hand.

"Urgh," Megan cringed, "you're both freaks," she said, running down the stairs. I rolled my eyes and took the spider back, "don't forget to kill it," she called as I walked down the staircase to the front door. I looked at her to see her hiding. I chuckled and shook my head at her and then opened the front door and walked out. I placed the spider onto the lawn and then walked back into the house to see her standing at the living room doorway.

"No spiders see," I said, holding up my hands.

"Good," she said and cringed, "Urgh I hate spiders," she said walking into the living room. I sigh and shake my head as I walk into the living room "I'm sorry for waking you by the way but that thing could have eaten me," she says.

"It's ok," I said and walked past her "What do you want for breakfast?" I ask . She remained silent and I looked at her "Megan?"

"Anything," she said and sat on the couch while flicking through the channels.

"Do you want some cereal?" I ask . She looked at me and stood up.

"I can make it myself," she muttered.

"Ok," I said and looked at Carl "What do you want?"

"Anything to get rid of this hangover of mine,"he said sitting at the kitchen table. Megan looked at him and then smirked slightly. "Guessing you don't have a hangover?" he asks

"I'm used to them," she said quietly and walked to the fridge to get the milk out.

"Do you remember anything from last night?" I ask

"Everything," she muttered. I looked at her and then she looked at me "I always do unfortunately," she says. I sigh and start to make mine and Carl's breakfast. I wasn't too happy that she remembered, it just made things awkward and difficult.

She poured cornflakes into a bowl and then some milk. I looked at how much she had put in which was quite a fair amount. I frowned a little as she barely ate breakfast and yet she was willing to eat a bowl full of cornflakes. "Can you take me to see Melanie today?" she asks as she walks to the table with her bowl.

"Yeah if you like but we need to go clothes shopping for you," her head shot at me as soon as I finished my sentence "yeah I don't like shopping but you need some clothes you can't keep wearing jogging bottoms,"

"I have clothes,"

"Yes. They don't fit you,"

"They'll fit me soon,"

"Not soon enough," I state "all you need to get is a few jeans and a few tops," I state. She sighs and looks down at her bowl.

"I really don't want to go outside," she muttered. I frowned slightly, "everyone watches the news," she muttered. I sigh as I walk to the fridge to take out some bacon and eggs.

"No one will notice you,"

"Yes they will, it's a small town and all the people at my school go to the mall every day,"

"We're going in school hours you won't see any of them,"

"Fine," she huffed and then picked her bowl up. I opened my mouth to say "upstairs before you ask and I will be down within twenty minutes with the bowl empty and I will be sober. You can even smell my breath if you like," she snapped moodily as she walked out of the kitchen. I sigh and turn to the cooker to make mine and Carl breakfast.

"Megan come on," I said, calling her from the bottom of the staircase. I heard groan and then start to stomp her feet as she walked. "You know stomping your feet isn't going to change my mind,"

"But I don't want to go," I heard her whinge like a five year old.

"If you don't get your arse down these stairs now I'll come up and get you," I warned and I suddenly felt like a parent. I scrunch my face up a little at that thought. I waited for another minute and then sighs "right I'm coming up,"

"No...No I'm coming," she said quickly, almost in a frightened tone. Then she walked round the corner of the staircase and stood there with her bottom lip out and her hands clasped in front of her. I smirked a little at how cute she looked.

"Was that so hard?" I ask .

"Yes actually I couldn't find anything to wear so now you have to walk around the mall with someone who looks like a tramp," she snapped.

"You look fine now, stop moaning," I paused. "And anyway I don't know why you're so worried about people looking at you when they'll all be looking at me with my great biceps and that," I said smiling.

"Seen better," she said, tilting her head and walking past me.

"Sure you have that scrawny ex-boyfriend of yours I highly doubt it," I said following her out of the house. I locked the door and then turned to see her already standing at the car door. "I'm kidding by the way," I said walking towards my car.

"It's ok," she said and opened the car door once I unlocked the car. I got in the car and sighs "Why do you always sigh?" she asks.

"It's a habit," I mutter. "I let out frustration through sighing and apparently sighing is quite therapeutic because it's like lifting whatever is on your mind off it if you get what I mean," she nodded and I started the car.

"I need a new phone as well," she said as we got onto the main roads. I looked at her "the police still have my phone or it's still at home I'm not sure," she paused "but either way I need a new one,"

"What sort of phone do you want?" I ask her.

"Same one as last time," she states while looking out the window "it's gonna rain," she states.

"Well good job we're not going to be outside," I said and turned on the radio. She sighs deeply and mutters something under her breath. "C'mon stop worrying no one is going to recognise who you are," I state while taking her hand in mine. She moved her hand out of my hand and turned her body away from me.
