Chapter Forty Eight

Meghan's P.O.V

I walk into the house, Jake following behind me. Hannah is sitting on the couch and I notice her look over at the two of us, a concerning frown on her face.

"Where are you two been? It's seven o'clock." Hannah snaps and I wave her off, forcing a smile on my lips.

"Jake and I just went over to Emma's to study for the test that we have tomorrow." I say and Hannah watches me carefully before looking over at Jake. She raises her eyebrow questioningly at him and I look over at him, watching as he gulps.

God, this boy and the struggle of lying...

"Uh... yeah." Jake mumbles and Hannah narrows her eyes at him.

"What did you study?" Hannah asks and I raise my eyebrow at Jake when he looks over at me slightly. He looks back at his mom and gulps once more.

"English..." Jake trails off and Hannah nods slowly. She nods her head towards the stairs and when Jake walks past me and I go to follow him, Hannah calls my name, stopping me. Jake looks down at me and I wave him off before looking over at Hannah.

"Yeah?" I ask, walking over to her. Hannah runs a hand through her black hair before sighing as she falls back onto the couch.

"Meghan, I didn't know you had a child." Hannah begins I feel my heart clench at the mention of my baby girl. I take a seat next to Hannah and frown slightly.

"Yeah, well, I try to keep Charlie away from any danger that people can bring her way." I say, my thought running to the fact that I already failed that. Hannah smiles weakly.

"Charlie. Beautiful name." Hannah says and I nod slowly. "Do you have a picture of her?" Hannah asks, her eyes lighting up a little. My lips part in shock a little but I pull out my phone anyway, beginning to search through my photos.

That's when my eyes catch onto the beautiful brunette.

I click on the photo and show it to Hannah, watching as her eyes light up even more, a small smile riding onto her face. The picture is when Charlie just turned one, her brown hair just below her ears back then. Her eyes wide open, her green eyes popping out as she stares into the camera. What makes the picture sad though is the tube that is in her nose and all of the doctors equipment around the background. And the smile on her face only just makes the picture even more depressing becsuse she doesn't even know what's going on.

"She's... she's beautiful." Hannah mumbles and I smile as I turn my phone off and shove it in my pocket.

"I know. She's my everything..." I trail off as I begin to think about my little girl. Hannah sighs and grabs at my hands, taking me by surprise. The look in her eyes though makes me calm down when I realise that she is only just a little upset. The tears in her eyes tell me that.

Well, my therapist is actually feeling some emotions of her own... that's new.

"You have to take care of her, Meghan. I lost my baby girl, don't lose yours." Hannah says and my mind instantly runs over to when Jake and I went to go see Drake that night before Hannah found us.

"Even try to stop me and I'll let you die a slow, painful death." Drake says with a smirk. "I mean... your sister would know how I work, right?" Drake asks looking over at Jake, his smirk growing

My eyes wide in surprise and anger. Jake's sister. Drake killed her?

Suddenly, out of the anger, Jake smacks the gun out of Drake's hand and smashes his fist into Drake's face. "You killed Jamie!" Jake shouts, grabbing him by the neck. I watch as Jake pushes him against the wall and I take the opportunity to reach down at grab the gun near me.

"Surprise..." Drake whispers with a grin. Jake grits his teeth and holds Drake against the wall, his right hand swinging and meeting Drake's face again, just like before.

I look at Hannah, realising how much pain is held in them. Drake had killed her daughter and now he is threatening to take mine.

"Hannah," I begin, holding her hands tightly in mine. "Trust me when I say this, okay?" I say and Hannah nods slowly, the first tear beginning to make its way down her cheek.

"I will find that son of bitch who took your daughter. You helped me, so I'm going to help you, okay?" I tell her and just as Hannah goes to say something, she cuts herself off and brings me into a hug.

"Thank you, Meghan. Thank you." Hannah mumbles between sobs and I rub my hand up and down her back, listening to the pain in her voice.

As the plan runs through my mind, I begin to decide if I should do what I had originally planned. When I heard Hannah's voice, I knew I had to do something.

I just hope that what I'm going to do now isn't going to fuck everything up.

I walk into Jake's room, watching as he begins to go through the papers on his desk. I close the door behind me quietly and smile as I watch Jake drop the papers onto the floor, a groan escaping his mouth.

"Why so stressed, Jakie?" I can't help but ask, watching as Jake jumps and squeals. I let out a laugh, noticing that I just scared the shit out of Jake. He looks over at me and crouches down, beginning to pick up the papers again.

"You honestly should stop scaring me. You're going to give me a heart attack one day." Jake mutters and I walk over to his bed, taking a seat on the end of it. I lay down and close my eyes, listening to Jake's heavy breathing, recently caused by the jump scare.

"You know I don't mean to scare half the time. It is just... you're easily scared." I explain, a grin forming on my lips. With my eyes still closed, I place both my hands on my stomach.

"That is mean and you know it."

"Guilty." I say with a smile, my eyes opening. I look over at Jake to see him staring at me, the papers now back on the desk in a pile. I motion for him to come over while I begin to sit up and he does. When he sits on the bed, I walk over to him and straddle him, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"What are you thinking about?" I ask, looking into Jake's beautiful eyes.

Jake runs a hand through his hair. "How proud I am of you." Jake says, making my eyes widen a little. "You have gone through so much in your life and you are still holding strong. That makes me proud." Jake says and I feel my eyes become watery.

No one has ever said that they are proud of me...

Except my brother.

Right before he died.

The memory floods into my head and I close my eyes, letting the images take over my mind.

Right after Matt had picked me up from the hotel and I had to give the police a statement, I had told Matt everything. How Drake and Evie treated me to the fact that I am now pregnant. Now, we are sitting in the car in front of our mom's house, with me currently feeling nervous and scared.

I haven't seen my mom in years. The last time I saw her, she didn't want us around. She hated us. She hated me. And the funny thing is, I didn't do anything. If anything, her hatred should be for herself seeing as she is the one that got pregnant and had Matt and I.

"You can do this, Meghan." Matt says, bringing me out of my thoughts. "I'll be right there standing beside you." Matt adds and I look over at him, the frown continuing to deepen.

"I... I'm just scared. We haven't seen mom for years and now I'm going to tell her that I am pregnant with a rape baby-"

"Don't call it that. The baby inside of you is like any other baby." Matt says and he takes his hand into mine, a small smile stretching onto his face. "You will be a great mother."

I feel tears sting in my eyes at my brother's words. Ever since I was raped, not even Drake or Evie said that I would be a great mother to this child. And now, my brother has just said it to me. In front of my face. And that is now making me emotional.

"But I'm only fifteen, Matt. I have no idea what to do." I say and Matt let's out a laugh.

"Thats normal, Meghan. Do you think any mother who is going to have their first child knows what to do or what to expect?" Matt says and I keep my mouth shut. Okay, he did have a point. "Exactly. Now, let's go see our mother."

"Meghan," Jake calls, bringing me out of the memory of my brother's death. "You're crying..."

As Jake says that, he raises his thumb up and wipes the tears away, a small smile on his face. I watch him carefully, my eyes never leaving his.

I definitely love him.... I think to myself as Jake sends me a smile.

I just hope I don't lose him.
