Secret Obsession Part 13: Please.....don't go.
A week had passed but Meggie wasn't dealing with her mother's death very well, she was sad all the time, pretty much hated living in Connor and Jared's house and only wanted to spend time with L, he was the only one who understood what she was feeling.

He tried to cheer her up....

L knew what could really cheer Meggie up, he caught some butterflies for her collection, she was one of those strange girls who actually liked all sorts of bugs, and creepy creatures, she was hoping to go to college for entomology. Her collection was housed at his house for now as there was no room in her shared room with Edward and Skye.

Connor showed up in the park shortly thereafter, Meggie was embarrassed about her crying outburst the other day and had avoided him since, she barely knew him and just wanted to keep to her close circle of friends right now.
L wanted to get to know him though and went over to chat...he needed to know the brothers to make sure Meggie was okay living with them, he was very protective of her.
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4546/38589785166_a36c047e67_b.jpg
They had a nice talk about hobbies and small talk but then Connor asked... "How long have you and Meggie been together?"
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4564/38613447722_8c43e14f6f_b.jpg
L was taken by surprise, he and Meggie were not a couple!
"We aren't together..she's only 16 for cripes sakes, we've just been friends since her dad died..."
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4518/38589782716_abcfe0c322_b.jpg
'you sure look like you're together' Connor muttered to himself. and went back to reading, efficiently shutting down the conversation.
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4533/38589786816_3408a1cf02_b.jpg
Meggie came over and plopped down dramatically...
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4544/38613446062_7ab1e603f0_b.jpg
"Want to get out of here?" L asked her..
"Yes......" was all Meggie said completely ignoring Connor
L couldn't figure out why Meggie was being so cold to Connor, he was a bit strange and did pry a bit too much but in general he seemed harmless. They all got up and L told Connor he would bring Meggie home by midnight.

***************************************
L and Meggie went to the Diner for supper then Maggie wanted to hang out at the park and L wanted to hit the bookstore, they agreed to meet up again in about an hour.
Meggie saw one of her friends from school at the park...Parker came over and didn't quite know what to say. Meggie had been out of school for the past week and everyone now knew why.
all he could think to say was "I'm so sorry...."
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4538/38589715996_0aea4f11db_b.jpg
"Parker, I'm okay don't worry about me.." Meggie was most certainly not okay but she didn't want to burden her friends. They went for a little walk and he caught her up with what her group of friends had been up to for the time Meggie was out of school, mostly small talk but he was trying to cheer her up too, he could sense her sadness, it radiated off her.
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4538/38589714336_f3a804b541_b.jpg
L had finished up in the bookstore and was watching Meggie and Parker curiously...
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4561/38589712306_8ba005ca68_b.jpg
He determined the boy was not upsetting Meggie and went to find a place to sit down, he suddenly felt so tired.
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4531/38589708236_305b1bfea8_b.jpg
Meggie spotted L walking away and followed him..
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4524/38613373252_7db2a3520d_b.jpg
"Who was that boy?" L asked gently..
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4582/38589700016_09d24ccfb3_b.jpg
"A friend from school, his name is Parker.."
"He seems to like you..."
"L......you almost sound jealous....you know I love you!" she said laughing and gave him a big bear hug.
"I love you too..." he whispered into her hair way too quiet for her to hear.
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4515/38589696646_2c7671001d_b.jpg
Just then L's phone rang...
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4568/38613366792_f2301cbfb9_b.jpg
"Mom slow down.....what happened exactly?" he said to the person on the other end of the call. Meggie noticed the concerned look on L's face.
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4573/38589691856_a0a24f9f7b_b.jpg
"For how long do you think? I can use some vacation time..." Meggie could only hear half of the conversation.
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4582/38589689756_9671bc680e_b.jpg
Meggie listened she determined L's dad had had an accident of some sort and was in the hospital, it sounded like L was going to be needed to help his mom and would be leaving tomorrow morning.
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4543/37928276064_4fb039979a_b.jpg
L hung up, sat next to Meggie and told her what had happened with his dad...
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4576/37928273464_70bd634a5f_b.jpg
"You're leaving...." Meggie sniffled, she knew L's mom was elderly, she had had L when she was almost 50 and he was 29, she knew he was needed at home until they could arrange for a visiting nurse or other care giver for his dad while he healed up from his surgery, a broken hip was nothing to joke about. She still couldn't help but feel sad and rejected about the whole thing. L was her source of comfort, she would be lost without him.
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4559/38645858911_c25114acb1_b.jpg
Meggie threw her arm around L and dragged him close..
"I'm going to miss you! How long do you think you're going to be gone?"
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4519/24773370198_ffff30fb58_b.jpg
"Hopefully only a week or so and I'm going to miss you too!"
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4585/24773369798_868587b1f0_b.jpg
They sat together for a few more minutes then headed back to Connor and Jared's house, Meggie doubted she would ever consider it "her house".
The next morning they hung out on the brand new swings that were just put up for Skye.
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4521/38645944971_183a21ed23_b.jpg
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4566/38645939311_fe809ae453_b.jpg
Meggie got off the swings and looked worried, "How am I going to make it a week without you..."
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4531/38645935961_a36643e720_b.jpg
"I'll call you and text you...you're going to be fine."
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4530/38613414562_a73f23abb1_b.jpg
L grabbed hold of her hands and gave a squeeze..
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4573/38613412732_3f2c5e4d48_b.jpg
He gathered her up for a hug...
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4564/37758337525_dd2717c095_b.jpg
He told Meggie he would call her when he got to his parents house...and then he was gone. Meggie was beyond sad, she knew she would be counting the hours until she could see him again.

***********************************************
Meggie was okay for a couple of days, she missed L but he did call and text her all the time so that was comforting. Monday rolled around and she was supposed to go to school for the first time since her mother's death. She woke up and decided she couldn't hack it...
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4530/38624287731_a55805cc30_b.jpg
so she snuck out, it was easy, Connor had already left for work and Jared was taking a shower...the kids were still asleep so she quietly got dressed and ran to her old house to sit with her parents.
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4570/26869923369_bb1525c3e5_b.jpg
She felt so tired all of a sudden and laid down and took a nap, she could almost feel her parents around her, keeping her safe.
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4541/26869925989_529818d297_b.jpg
After she woke up she decided to head off to the library, maybe a good book would take he mind off everything. Unfortunatly she ran into Connor there and it was only noon, she didn't know that he had gotten a call from the school that Meggie hadn't shown up. Connor called Jared but Jared couldn't get a sitter so Connor would have to skip work to look for Meggie..he headed for the library first, he was relieved to find her there...
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4578/24773415418_d79cc05c39_b.jpg
Unfortunately the relief was short lived and he gave her a full chewing out about skipping school..
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4555/38613387002_0a52298a1e_b.jpg
Meggie was not used to getting screamed at like this...
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4566/26869938979_219aff074e_b.jpg
She broke down crying from anger and embarrassment, she was really starting to hate Connor.
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4526/26869935669_b6144dc3b4_b.jpg
She walked out and decided to ignore him completely, maybe she could stay at one of her friends houses...because she was NOT going back to THAT house ever again...
