Chapter 24

**Megan**

I turned my body to face Brendan as he pulled up to the house I was living in with Logan. He looked at me and smiled a little.

"You're mental, to do a full day drinking binge," he says. I giggled and closed my eyes "but it seems you've had a bit of fun,"

"Hmm...You should have had something to drink too," I groaned.

"I'm driving Megan, as you can see,"

"Yeah but you would have sobered up," I stated and pouted.

"No, I wouldn't because when I drink, I drink to get paralytic drunk," he said, grinning "sort of like you," he added. "I'm happy I don't have to take you back to your granddad's, that would be a bad scene for me," he said and then turned the engine off. "Man, I'm tired,"

"I'm not," I said, still with my eyes closed.

"Could have fooled me," I heard him say. I smiled and then I felt him kiss my lips and then hug me "It's weird how he hasn't phoned you at all to see where you are, I mean I know your granddad has a few times but I don't understand why he hasn't. I would have expected your granddad to tell...is it Logan?" I nodded to his question "to tell him you were missing or something," he explained.

"Oh well," I say.

"Especially with your history with him," I sat up and looked at him, "you don't remember telling me?" he asks.

"Remember telling you what?" I ask.

"About him telling you he loved you and well about the times you two have kissed," he states. I frowned and then looked at him more "don't worry I'm not going to say anything I mean it would only cause you drama and well it isn't like he's forcing himself on you whenever he can is it?" he asks. I shook my head.

"Quite the opposite," I mumbled and laid back.

"And you obviously like him," I frowned at him. "I guess you don't remember most of last night," he said to himself "I think that may be a good thing because you cried over the fact he didn't answer your call," he says.

"Oh," I said and looked away from him feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Don't be embarrassed," he said "Don't feel embarrassed by anything from last night because I loved it," he said grinning at me. I huffed and folded my arms as he was about me kissing him. "Hey it's not the first time we've kissed, you know, and I'm sure we've done a little bit more than that kiss," he said, smirking.

"Ok well I'm gonna go I'll see you around," I said getting ready to leave. He laughed and moved his arms around my waist.

"Hey, don't worry," he said, pulling me towards him. I gulped a little and looked at him. "I haven't and won't ever tell anyone about that night...well," he said, trailing off. I looked at him. It turns out that my mother saw us go into the pool house that night from her bedroom window." My jaw dropped.

"You did tell her we didn't do anything. Right?" I ask.

"Yeah I did, but I don't think she believed me, but she does now...I think," he said frowning to himself.

"Great," I said, slumping in his arms. "Well, I do need to go and I'll talk to you whenever," I said, moving out of his arms and opening the car door.

"It'll be very soon,"he said as I got out of the car. I gave him a small smile and shut the car door. I slowly made my way up the garden path and turned to give him a small wave. He waved back and then started the engine again. I walked into the house after he drove off.

A pungent aroma hit me as soon as I started to walk towards the living room. I knew the smell well. I had smelt the other day and Logan smelt of it when we picked him up from the police station. I stood at the door and saw him smoking what seemed to be weed. He was dressed in complete black and he was watching Tom and Jerry. I looked at Carl who was now looking at me.

"Are you ok?" he asks. I nodded and looked back at Logan to see him chuckle to himself.

"I fucking love this programme," Logan said to himself.

"Well you're going to love it, you are high," Carl said, standing up and walking towards me.

"What's wrong with him?" I ask .

"Nothing, why don't you go up to bed," he said while moving me out of the room.

"Why?" I ask.

"Please, just go,"

"But I need to talk to him, to tell him something,"

"Can you tell him in the morning?" he asked. I frowned a little and slowly started to make my way to the stairs "thanks," he said and walked back into the living room. I stopped and walked towards the living room and stood outside it while listening.

"Who was that?" Logan asked.

"Megan," Carl said "and make that your last one," he ordered.

"Is she ok?" he asks

"Yeah, it seems she's had a bit to drink though,"he states.

"When doesn't she, if she's not drinking then she's crying or like an actual zombie," he states

"What do you expect?"

"Yes I expect it I'm just pointing it out; I'm off to go check on her,"

"No you're not,"

"Yes I am," and I hear movement. I quickly made my way upstairs as quietly as I could and then got changed into some clean clothes and walked into the bathroom to run myself a bath. When I walked back into my bedroom I saw him sitting there on my bed flicking through my phone. "Who's Brendan?" he asks, "he just sent you a text,"

"Urm just a friend," I said and went to take my phone off him but he moved it away from me.

"You called him the night you called me,"he said looking at me.

"Well I needed someone to talk to and well you didn't answer so I phoned him,"

"Why not Melanie?" he asks "she is your best friend," I frown at him. ~Why is he questioning me?

"Because Melanie isn't exactly in the greatest of places right now, why are you even asking me that question does it really matter?" I ask .

"Yeah it does," he said and then he moved his arms around me. I frowned, confused by his sudden move. "I need a hug," he says.

"Urm ok," I slowly said and hugged him back. "Why do you need a hug?"

"Because Carl has taken my weed off me," he huffed. I moved his arms from around me and walked into my bathroom then back out.

"Are you a stoner?" I ask. He looked at me tilted his head a little and smirked. "Oh my god you are,"

"No...No I'm not or at least I don't think I am, but you have to understand I'm in a bad way at the moment," he states.

"Bad way how?" I ask . He sighs and looks away from me "great so you know everything about me and I know nothing about you," I paused. "You could at least open up to me you know, like how I open up to you, and then you wonder why I don't always tell you what's on my mind," I said and walked into the bathroom once more and then walked back out "I'm going in the bath I'd really like it if you weren't here when I have finished," I snapped and walked into the bathroom shutting and locking the door behind me.

Maybe I was being a bitch but how was I supposed to trust someone who doesn't tell me anything about themselves?

I sighed and looked at my bath, the tap was still running and it was nowhere near done. I got undressed anyway and got in while the tap ran.

After twenty minutes I walked out of the bathroom with a towel tightly wrapped around my body and looked around my room and laid there fast asleep on my bed was Logan. I rolled my eyes and walked into my wardrobe to get dried and dressed. Once dressed I walked out of my wardrobe and looked at him, his arms resting over his head blocking out any light and he was laid on his stomach with his legs crossed. I smirked at the fact his feet hung off the end of my bed.

"Do you want me to move him?" I heard Carl say. I looked at him and shook my head.

"Its fine, I don't sleep much anyway. I think its best not to disturb him because he needs to sleep his high off," I said as I walked to my bed and moved back the covers. "And well it isn't the first time I've shared a bed with him," I mumbled and reached for my lamp.

"Ok then well I'll see you in the morning. Night," he said and shut the door behind him and then he opened it again and Max walked in and laid at the side of my bed. I smiled a little and got comfy while pulling my covers over my body.
