 She did not even want to be there. She didn't. But her dad said that she couldn't hide forever. Why the hell not? It was working just find so far. Why would her dad care anyhow? Okay, of courser he would care. But with Jonathon still in that house, he really was not paying attention to her needs at the moment. And that pissed Megan off so much. Because at this point, Megan needed her parents more than she needed anyone in her entire life.
But since Ben was not really paying attention, Megan often tended to be Matt's little shadow. She followed him everywhere. And almost everynight, when Megan woke up screaming from her night terrors, she'd grab her crutches and make her way into Matt's room, refusing to leave. She was way too scared to be alone.
And, well, being at school was no different. She refused to walk to class alone. She would make Matt walk with her. And it was easy when it came to second hour, since they both had that class together.
But that was one class that Megan was dreading. It was one class that he would be in. Her attacker. Jack.... She followed her big brother into the classroom, but instead walked to the very back, wanting away from other people. She set her crutches against the wall and took her seat.

Everyone had seen the scene in the hallway. For the most part, Matt was ignoring the gossip, but this period was pretty hard to do. As he entered and took a seat, he could already hear Willow and Rachel, and even Natasha talk about the fight between Mr. Maxwell and the reporter.
The bell rang and Hazel raised a hand "all right. Settle down. I understand why the hubub but we have work to do. I'm going to pair you up and you'll be doing powerpoint presentations. When you hear your name, please stand up." she then went on to call names.
"so anyways he told her that she was putting less effort than a blow up doll, and she said that's because she has jello to work with. It was the funniest thing! And then, she said that her boss shows her what a real man feels like and he spilled his coffee on her!" Rachel informed Natasha
"that doesn't sound very nice." she said uncertainly.
"And she's still here. Asking questions about the dance. Like we're going to really talk. She's a shark," Willow decided.
"Jack Basely, and ......Megan Del Rossi" Hazel called.

Pairing up? All Megan could hope for was anyone but Jack. Hell, she'd take Willow over Jack. She sat in the very back, with her head down. Please. please, please not Jack. Anyone but Jack. please... she kept silently saying to herself. But then she heard her own name and her head shot up.
"W-what?" she stuttered out. Suddenly she could feel her heart racing. Her breathing getting heavy. She felt like she was going to suffocate. "Please...it's gotta be a mistake." she whispered. "I c-can't be partnered with him."

Megan bit her lip and looked to Jack, shaking her head. "No..."No, no, no..." she whimpered. She did not want this. "Don't talk to me. I don't want this. I dont want to even see your face." Well, it was true. Just seeing him, talking to him...it terrified her.

Jack chuckled. "everyone knows I can't do that," he said, putting his hand on her cheek like he had before....well, before he tried to kill her. His eyes said it all, though. They were telling her to watch it. They were telling her to cooperate.
Hazel sighed. She knew what had happened to Megan before the dance. She wasn't going to be the only fidgety one, either. Hazel cleared her throat. "ok. No projects today. We're going to do something different today. So I want to make a big circle around the room. Girls on one side, boys on the other"

Megan swallowed when he touched her cheek and looked into his eyes. Those eyes. Those eyes scared her. They really did. "I-" she shook her head. "no." she whispered, before pulling away, looking towards Hazel. She shook her head. "What are we doing?" she asked, quietly. "I-I don't want to. I can't. I-I knew I shouldn't have come back to school. I just wanna go back home." she spoke, her tone of voice sounding scared.

Hazel nodded "come on. It'll be fine. Megan, I want you beside me. Matt, come sit on my other side. No talking, not yet, anyway. I've been right there where you are. So trust me. Seats in a circle, people. Come on"

"You wouldn't lie, right?" Megan whispered. She really did want everything to be fine. She wanted her life to get back to normal. It had too. "O-o-okay." she stuttered, before grabbing her crutches and slowly getting to her feet. Swallowing, the young girl made her way to the front of the room as the others began to get in a circle.

Hazel smiled "me? lie? Never. Well, once, to my ex husband. But you try being married to that man without lying at least once" she said with a smile as she pulled a desk to sit in. She watched as Megan sat down and Matt, too, trudged up and slumped beside her. "This is going to be a safe zone. No worries"

With a sigh, Megan slumped down in the chair beside Hazel and set down her crutches, lookng down at her feet. Safe zone? There was no such thing as a safe zone. No such thing. Nowhere was safe. Nowhere would ever be safe. The poor girl...Megan wasn't safe at school. She wasn't safe at home. What was she suppose to do? There was nothing that she could do. Nothing.
Biting down on her bottom lip, Megan looked over at the other side of Hazel, at her brother. Her eyes were full of fear. That's all that ever showed in her eyes now. Fear. Just fear. "What--what are we suppose to talk about?" she asked in a quiet whisper.

Go back to teaching? What was she supposed to do, ignore the tension, the emotions? She couldn't accept that. She refused to be half a teacher. She cared about her students. It was just that simple. She watched as the kids got in a circle. "You'll find out," she told Megan as she waited for the class to quiet down. She wasn't supposed to be doing this. She was supposed to be teaching, be using her lesson plan. Well, screw the lesson plan. The lesson plan never predicted this. Nobody could have predicted this. "I want all eyes on me, all hands on your desks. All mouths shut." she said, folding her arms. "Thank you,' she said when she finally received what she wanted. "First of all, those of you against hiding something from Mr. Snyder, you are excused to the library. I am not supposed to be doing this. But sometimes, a teacher has to think what's best, and if it's not what she's told then oh, well."
She watched the curious faces of Willow, Rachel, Natasha. She looked over at Jack, at Megan, and at all of her other students that Ashley still needs to bring in because this is a class thread lol. "Nobody? I'm shocked," she said with a teasing tone, smiling as she heard the chuckles from the kids. "Okay. Show of hands only--no speaking. How many of you have a family member who was either hurt or killed at the dance?" She stood and sat on the desk Megan had set for her, watching as Willow and Natasha's hands, as well as several others, went up. "Rachel, and Jack. You are excused to the library. I won't mark you as absent. Anyone whose hands are not up can go have some free time at the library. Rachel, please shut the light out on your way." |
