Chapter 45

**Third Person (TPPV)**

Megan has been skipping Logan's classes and getting drunk whenever she can to forget about her dad and Logan. She hates herself for what she said to him. She’s turned into someone she hates. Megan, Yasmin, Julie, and Melanie go out nearly every weekend, and every weekend ends with Megan drunk.

They’re all staying at Julie's tonight. They never stayed at Megan's. Megan and Melanie would make up an excuse as to why they couldn't.. The last thing Megan wants is for her father to do the same to them. She would hate herself even more.

Julie sits with Yasmin and Melanie, watching Megan. They’d come with Danny, Craig, and Mark. They would have invited Tyler, but they know how Tyler is, and for the past few weeks, they've seen how out of control Megan has been getting.

"Maybe we should stop her," Yasmin says "I mean, she'll want to come up for air at some point," Yasmin says referring to the guy Megan is making out with.

"True...but you saw what happened last time," Melanie says "She went off on one,"

"I don't understand why she has become like this. She used to be really innocent," Julie says

"Where have the boys gone?" Yasmin asked.

"They've gone to go chat up those girls we saw when we came in," Melanie says.

Julie looks around the club and sighs when she sees Megan knock back a shot. Looking around some more, she sees Mr Peters in a booth with a group of men. She raises an eyebrow slightly at how bored he looks. She’d noticed that for a couple of weeks now he has been in a mood.

She watches as his friends get up, leaving him there on his own. She turns to the others and smiles slightly. "I'm just off to go speak to someone, you order us some drinks," she says walking away from them. They both frown, and give her a slight wave.

Julie walks over to the booth Mr Peters is in and sits down "Hey Sir," she says with a small smile. He looks up from his phone and looks at her and his eyebrow raises slightly.

"Evening, Julie," he says, putting his drink to his lips.

"Sir how come-" he cut her off

"Logan outside school, please don't make me sound old," he says and takes a gulp of his drink.

"Ok, Logan," she says with a small smile "Why are you sitting here on your own? Why aren't you trying to get laid or something? You look like you could do with a good-"

"Julie," he says, cutting her off again. She smiles at him and sits up straight "what do you want?" he asks

"Well, you see, I need help with something," she says. He give her a questionable look, "My friend is going to end up paralytic by the end of the night because some guy keeps feeding her shots," she explains.

"What do you want me to do? It's up to your friend to say yes or no to the drinks the guy buys her," he pauses and puts his beer down on the table "I'm off babysitting duty for two days," he says with a small smirk.

Julie lets out a small sigh "If you just look at her you'll see you can help," she says and moves her hand to where Megan is. Logan turns slightly and sees Megan with her hands around a dark blonde guy. The guy has

one hand around Megan's waist and another moving up her dress.

Logan turns his head back and looks down at his drink and clenches the glass in his hand "I mean it will take a lot for her to get paralytic because she's always drinking, but still," she says.

"I can't help your friend," Logan says, still glaring at his beer as if it had just insulted his mother.

"I thought you may say that," she says moving round the booth so she is nearly sitting next to him. "She does this all the time," she states "this night will end with that guy dragging her off somewhere so they can be more private and then she will phone either me, Melanie or Yasmin to come and get her away from him. And when we do get there he will be trying to pressure her into having sex with him and then when we tell him to stop he'll walk off pissed because what he thought was as an easy lay wasn't. Then Megan will leave here without us and go to the nearest cafe that is open," Julie informs Logan.

Logan looks at Julie "No it won't," he says.

"I know there's something going on with her. I just can't put my finger on it," she says tilting her head slightly "it's funny isn't it how it's only your lessons that she doesn't go to?"

"She does-" Logan started but Julie cut in.

"No she doesn't. You know how I know? Because Melanie tells me," she adds, "and well who can blame her,"

"What?" he asks a little offended "What are you trying to say?"

"I know there's something going on between you and Megan,"

"There's nothing," he pauses. "She's my student, that’s all," he states.

"Do you normally let students in your apartment and let them stay overnight? Because if you do, when can I stay?" she asks with a small smile.

"Wait, how do you even know-"

"I live a few floors down from you, on the same floor as your friend," she says with a smile. Logan sighs and downs his beer "Don't worry I'm not going to say anything," she pauses "because there isn't anything to say to anyone," she says with another sly smile. "I'll be back in a minute," she says standing up and walking to Yasmin and Melanie to get her drink from them.

"Who are you talking to?" Yasmin asks

"Mr Peters" she says

"What?" Yasmin says surprised "Where is he?" she said looking around then her eyes land on him "wow he looks..."

"Hot. I know," Julie says. They all burst into a small fit of giggling "I still can't get my head round the fact he's a teacher, and I want to do him, it's just mind boggling," she says with a shake of her head. "Well if you’ll excuse me ladies I still have very important things to talk to him about," she says and walks back to where Logan is with her drink.

She sits back where she originally sat and puts her drink on the drink coaster. She’d noticed that Logan also has another drink but this time a bottle. She looks at Megan to see the man she was with is gone.

"You know, Megan, is on her own now so you could probably help her," she says.

"I can't, it's none of my business," he says resting his arm on the table and his head on his hand "maybe you should use it as a chance to talk to her," he suggests.

"Ohhh too late the guy has returned with a drink that he's spiked as if she isn't easy enough right now," Julie says as if it is nothing. She watches as Logan's head turns and his fists clench. A smile tugged at her lips, her thoughts were right.

"Are they drinking the same thing?" Logan asked.

"Yep" Julie replies and they both watch Megan and the guy. Megan stands up and kisses the guy then pulls away. They watch as she tells him something that causes the guy to turn and look away from her. Megan smiles and they observe her as she swaps the drinks. Julie giggles and shakes her head "I must admit I did not expect that," she admits.

Logan blinks a couple of times and look back at Julie "She must have seen him," he implies "this just means you can stop worrying about her now,"

"Oh I'm not worried about her," Julie says "you're the one worried I just wanted a quiet night nothing more,"

"I'm not worried,"

"Course you're not," Julie says, taking a sip of her drink.

After about ten minutes of them just talking and Julie observing everything Logan did. She noticed that he couldn't go longer than a minute without looking at Megan and everytime he did she couldn't help but smile.

"Julie," Someone says getting both their attention, they turn to see Melanie and Yasmin both standing looking at them.

"We have to go?" Yasmin says

"Why?" she asks. They both turn and then they watch as Megan and the man walk off into the girl's toilet.

"Oh," she says and leans back "let's wait it out a bit because she looks willing this time," she says, folding her arms and patting the seat. They both slide in and sit down next to her. Julie turns her gaze to Logan while the other two take their phones out.

"Who do you think she'll call this time?" Yasmin asked

"You, because she'll scroll up instead of down this time," Julie says. They all gave her a funny look "What I would, your name is quicker to get to if I scroll up," she explains. They sigh and take sips of their drinks.

Then Julie's phone starts to vibrate on the table and Megan blinks a few times then stops. They all raise their eyebrows.

"Maybe we should go get her," Yasmin says, getting up. Julie nods and turns to Logan to see him gone. They look towards the bathroom to see him storm into the ladies. Julie pushes Melanie and Yasmin off the seat

and drags them both with her to where he is.

"Get off," Megan's voice rang through the toilets.

"Oh come on you've been all over me all night" the guy says.

"Like you'd be able to get it up anyway, you're going to pass out in a few minutes" she says

"That's all I need,"

"Urgh get off I'll scream" she says. Then they hear a whimper and a thud.

"I'm sorry" they hear the guy say and then watch Logan step back from the cubicle they were in and boot the door. The door whips open and Logan lunges forward and drags the man out of the cubicle.

"Wow," Julie says with raised eyebrows "did not expect this," she says.

Logan throws the man into the sinks and punches him in the jaw. The guy slowly gets up off the floor and look at Logan while holding his jaw "What the fuck dude?"

"What the fuck? I'll give you what the fuck," he says and starts to lay into him "You think it's ok to force someone?" he says while punching him.

"Whoa I didn't know she had a boyfriend she’s the one that fucking came onto me," the man says trying to get away from Logan.

"Yeah, well she does, now fuck off" he snaps. "Fucking bastard" he growls as the man run out of the toilets. Logan inhales deeply and then exhales and runs a hand through his hair. He turns and looks at Megan.

She sits on the toilet lid staring at him. He gives her a small smile and walks over to her. She stands and takes the clip out of her hair "thanks" she says and runs a hand through her hair.

"You should be more careful," he says and walks out of the ladies.

Megan walks out of the cubicle and stands at the now cracked mirror. She quickly sorts her hair out and then drunkenly turns to her friends. They all stand with their arms folded obviously pissed at her.

"I'm sorry", she slurs and moves forward "I need some air," she says and staggers out. They sigh and look at each other.

"Oh my god," Julie says slowly.

"As if he just nearly killed the man," Yasmin says

"C'mon, we may as well try and enjoy the rest of our night," Melanie says, linking her arms with them. "Hopefully, she'll mean her sorry this time," she says to herself.
