Out of Bounds :: JJ

[Megan Julia Del Rossi]

Megan was horrified. Nobody even seemed to notice her change in behavior. Though ever since Jack tried killing her, it was probably hard to tell. She was keeping more to herself. She would completely freak if anyone tried touching her. She avoided contact all together. She wouldn’t touch anyone in her family or her friends. Not even JJ. Did anyone notice? Or care for that matter? She avoided any sort of contact, even the slightest touch. It was just different this time. Very different. With her father, Matthew, Jonathon…she had never trusted any of them. It was even different when it came to Jack because she really did not know him all that long. But Shayne? Matt? Megan had known them for so long. She had trusted them. And in one moment, one second, that all changed. All crumbled down around her. The both fucked the girl up royally. And she truly did not know what to do anymore. She was not about to tell anyone what Shayne tried to do. They would not be able to help her. No one could. She was broken, damaged, beyond repair. Natasha should have left her, Hannah should have left her. Left her to die. What was the point in living anyway? Everyone would only turn against you. It was only a matter of time. What if it was JJ next? Matt already turned against her. Shayne already turned against her. She would not be able to handle it if yet another person did so as well.

Fresh air, needed away. Megan no longer wanted to be her anymore. She wanted to be someone else. This was a time when Megan wished that she had a twin she did not know about like Hannah. Then she could disappear and no one would even miss her or come looking for her. Megan liked the sound of that. She really did.

Without a single word to anyone, she snuck out the front door. It was only seven o’clock in the morning. And she probably could go out. She just was not up to speaking with anyone. She spent the last two days held up in her room. She hated not having a door. She needed a door. All Megan wanted to do was cry, but she could not do that. Because then everyone would press her to say what was wrong. No, Megan was not going to do that. Megan did not want to be around people, especially people that she knew. Would they be able to notice something off about her. For hours, the sixteen year old walked around aimlessly. Hardly paying attention to her own surroundings. It was around noon when she finally noticed exactly where she was. The Ravine. How had that happened? When did that happen? No, she did not want to be here. To many people. Needed to be alone. Swallowing, Megan walked by a crowd of people when someone was shoved into her. Megan let out a scream, and quickly backed away. She turned in the opposite direction and started to walk that way.

Usually, the ravine was empty for the day. But the junior high kiddies had to go on a clean the Ravine kick. Whatever. JJ was ignoring them. His mom had contracted some kind of infection from the torture she went through. JJ couldn't be home right now. He knew where he wanted to go. But he had only taken Charlie. It was a side of him that nobody else had seen. JJ didn't like people knowing his soft side. He liked being manly. That was why he kept the fact that he danced a secret.

Megan's scream cut into his thoughts. Standing, he made his way over and shoved the kid. He was probably only twelve but he didn't care. He cared about Megan. ''Buzz off. Go clean your ravine. Now.'' He watched him run off and looked at her. What was she doing there? Was she looking for him? With a sigh, he offered his hand. ''Wanna go somewhere private? Just the two of us?'' Once again he was taking that chance. Showing the side only Charlie had seen.
