Chapter 39

**Logan**

Her body felt so good in my hands. She was fast asleep but I had been up for nearly an hour just watching her. I was back at work today and she had a two hour long session with the psychologist today which meant she wouldn't be in the best of moods. She hadn't had a nightmare once since I started sleeping in her bed with her or at least I don't think she had. Carl had told me he heard her downstairs the other night and when I questioned her about it she said she went down for a drink. Carl seemed ok with us going out; he just told me to make sure I was treating her how she should be treated and not to screw up. He had also told me I would have to tell her everything soon or the longer I leave it the more it will hurt her. In a way I knew he was right but in all honesty I was petrified with what she would do if I did.

"Logan stop staring at me," she said sleepily "it's scary," I smiled and kissed her on the lips.

"Morning," I said when I pulled away. She smiled and hugged me.

"Morning," she replied, still with her eyes closed. "You're back at work today aren't you?" she asks.

"Yes, but I will be able to pick you up," she sighs as I said that and pulled back from me.

"I don't want to go," she groaned and stretched while yawning.

"I know but you have to," I said and moved my hand on her stomach. "I don't really want to leave you right now but I have to," she looked at me as I said that.

"I'll come with you,"

"No you will go back to sleep and I will ring you at 11 to wake you up," I said and gave her a quick kiss and got out of bed.

"What time is it?" she asks.

"Seven AM," I say

"Urgh," she said groaning and turned on her stomach while pulling the covers off her showing her pyjama top. Her hands moved over head and she looked at me and smiled.

"I'll be back in a bit," I said and walked out of her room to my own. I got a shower and then got changed into a pair of tracksuit bottoms and a t-shirt. Once I was done I took my lip piercings out and then walked back to Megan's room to see her back to sleep. I smirked and sat down on her bed. Her eyes opened and she looked at me.

"Why are you not in your usual gear?" she asks.

"Because of my leg, it's hard for me to walk as it is, I need to be comfortable," I said and leaned in to kiss her on the lips. "I need to go now, I have a meeting at eight," I paused and laid down at her side.

"So why did you get up so early?" she asks.

"Because I need to be there on time," I said and looked at her to see her looking at me.

"Aww you took them out, stupid school rules," she huffed. I smirked and moved an arm around her body.

"Did you have a nightmare last night?" I ask . She shook her head "What about before?"

"No I haven't had one for a while which is a relief," she said and then paused "I'll probably have one tonight though,"

"I know," I said and leaned in for a kiss. After about fifteen minutes she was now out of bed and sat on her covers in front of me. "Now I have to go," I say. I had been trying to go ten minutes ago but she didn't want to let me. She sighed and pouted. I smirked "Sorry, if I could stay in bed all day, trust me I would but I can't now bye," I said and went to give her a kiss but she turned her head so I got the cheek. "Charming," I said and pulled away from her. She stuck her tongue out at me as I stood straight and then smiled. I smiled back at her and walked out of her bedroom shutting the door behind me.

Nervous isn't what would sum up my feelings right at this moment, I was more uneasy; I didn't know what to expect when I walked into the meeting room. For all I knew I could get a load of shit or nothing at all. Silence would probably be the worst thing as it would make me on edge and cause me to become nervous. I moved my hand to the handle and turned it counter clockwise and then opened it. The room fell silent as they turned to see who had entered the room.

"Mr Peters," The headmistress said with a delighted tone in her voice and a smile on her face. I gave her a small smile and sat down in the only seat available which was between the science teacher that I was sure had a thing for me and the very strict history teacher.

"Sorry, I'm late," I say.

"How are you?" she asks.

"Better, tired though," I say.

"How is Megan doing?"

"Depends on the day," I state "and the night she's had, if she's had a nightmare you can guarantee she'll be on edge all day," I say.

"And if she hasn't?"

"She's tired, because the only way she thinks she won't have a nightmare is if she doesn't sleep," I said and cleared my throat.

"How is your leg, is it better?"

"I can't put all my weight on it and I'm not supposed to do any sports for a while and I'm on painkillers,"

"Ok," she said "in a way it's a good thing Megan doesn't start until next week because I am guessing there are a few precautions we will need to take with her?" she asks.

"Just what you'd expect really, don't get too close to her don't stand behind her or stand over her and try not to shout,"

"Is there anything we should be weary of?"

"Her, what you'd probably call 'episodes' it's rare but she can become confused and it's almost a black out but she's awake. Her mind forgets she's not with her father anymore and she tends to start screaming as if he's in the room with her and it may seem she's looking at you or someone but what she's seeing isn't you it's her father and well there's a sedative that I have been shown how to administer that she can have. There is a slight problem though as once it wears off she can become like that again which can be very troublesome, but I highly doubt anything like that will happen, she hasn't had one for a while. All in all just keep your distance and she should be fine," I say.

"Ok good, so now onto the agenda for this week," she started. I sigh a little and move my hand to my leg and rub it a little. The pain was back, that was just great.
