Everyone Has a Secret

Megan Holliday || 16 || Sophomore ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pretty much all you need to know about me, and all I want you to know. Doesn't hurt to ask, though I might not answer you.

[megan-holiday]

Now I remember why I hate this town. Bunch of closed minded morons who don't know a damned thing. 

[penn-lopez]

My patience has limits

Why do some people have to take so much time to order their shit?

[megan-holiday]

Because they are assholes. 

[jesskarofsky]

Right. Okay. 

[megan-holiday]

Clearly you can't talk about this right now, so I'm leaving. I'll text you my number, call me when you've calmed down. 

[jesskarofsky]

I don’t lie to you.. I wouldn’t hurt you.. I can’t hurt  you.. Not like you hurt me. I fucking love you.. I love you and you left me.. without a word.. Do you have any idea how hard it was when people asked me where you went.. To have to tell them I didn’t know… 

[megan-holiday]

Yeah because this is all about you. I just told you my whole fucking life was turned upside down. What I did was fucked up, I shouldn't have done it, but it's done. I... I can stay. 

[jesskarofsky]

What are you so afraid of?

[megan-holiday]

People are always lying to me, and I get hurt. I didn't want that to happen. I found out... before I left I found out that my parents are my parents. We're all adopted, I got scared even more and ran. I found my real mom, stayed with her for a bit. 

[jesskarofsky]

You think I’m not scared? You think I didnt think about just up and leaving everything. This place is bad for me.. Too many scary memories here.. I hate it here.. I wanted to leave, but I stayed for you.. 

[megan-holiday]

Yeah well, I'm not as strong as you are. I'm sorry I didn't stay, I'm sorry I left without telling anyone but my mom and brother, I'm sorry.

Text || Ryan

Megs: Hey, little one. Can you tell mom I'm back in town?

Ry: Wait, you're back? When did this happen

Megs: Last night, I ran into Jess...

Ry: Well you didn't think that you wouldn't see her at all did you?

Megs: Was kind of hoping not to. Couldn't give her an answer, any of the ones she wanted actually.

Ry: I wouldn't even talk to you if I was her. That was a dick move, Megan.

Megs: Thanks for that, Ryan, Really -.-

Ry: Just being honest, sis. Are you guys... going to fix things?

Megs: No.. Yes. I don't know. I want to but I don't deserve it.

Ry: No, you don't. But maybe she thinks you do, or maybe she loves you enough not to care.

Megs: You're supposed to lie and make me feel better.

Ry: No, I'm not. When will I see you?

Megs: Soon.

[jesskarofsky]

Why’d you come back? Why’d you leave?

[megan-holiday]

I don't know why I left, short answer though; I was scared. You don't need someone like me, I run, it's what I do. I'm back because my mom made me come back for a visit. 

[jesskarofsky]

I-I don’t know..

[megan-holiday]

I'm here fr at least a week, We can talk, or not, or whatever, It's up to you. 

[jesskarofsky]

No.. Don’t call me that.. You lost that right when you left. 

[megan-holiday]

Alright then, should I walk away now?

[jesskarofsky]

So you’re leaving me.. again

[megan-holiday]

I didn't say that either, Princess. 

[jesskarofsky]

How do I know you won’t leave again..

[megan-holiday]

I didn't say I was staying this time. 

[jesskarofsky]

I’m .. supposed to be.. mad at you.. 

[megan-holiday]

Yeah well make up sex is the best right? 

[jesskarofsky]

[megan-holiday]

[jesskarofsky]

No. I can’t.. I can’t. 

[megan-holiday]

-she grabs her arm, pulling her back and spinning her around.-

[jesskarofsky]

Fine. Then go. Leave again. Run away like a scared little child.

[megan-holiday]

[Stares at her for a moment, then she can't hold back the tears] ... I'm sorry.

[jesskarofsky]

You can’t just.. leave me.. Please.. 

[megan-holiday]

I already left you, Jess. 2 months ago.
