Lost Cause

Guilty your honer

Finally after 3 months of hell I was out of the unit and being 2 months and 17 days clean

Matt was getting out in 3 days, he only lived 20 minutes away so all is good

~~~~TIME SKIP~~~

I ran into his arms as he walked through my door, finally we were both out

"Hey baby" he murmered in to my shirt

"Hey, shall we go up to my room?"

"Yeah" we walked up to my room hand in hand me locked tightly to his side

He sat on the chair in my room as I went to shut the door I heard Dad shout up

"MEGAN LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN" Oh for fuck sake

"IT'S NOT LIVE WERE GONNA FUCK IS IT DAD" I heard Matt burst into laughed from behind

"MEGAN DON'T USE THAT LANGUAGE, LUNCH WILL BE READY IN 15 MINUTES" Ewww

"Come here" Matt must have seen the way my face dropped when dad mentioned lunch

I walked over to him and he pulled me into his lap

"Soooooo" I didn't know what to say, things weren't awkward they were perfect intact but im shirt at making conversation don't judge me

"When's the trail Megs?"

"Today, Matt I couldn't bear to see him and I feel like I have let Mads down" how could I face him the man who killed my best friend and has made my life jut as hard as it was before the unit

"Its whatever you wanted to do, you have NOT let Mads down one bit" I looked deep into his eyes, our lips smashed together

I felt like nothing mattered in that moment, I was with Matt and that was all I needed

"Megan Tomlinson" my Mum hollared at me from the door of my room

Shit

Me and Matt quickly pulled away and I turned to face mum attempting to hide the embarassment in my face

"I have been calling you for like 5 minutes for lunch"

"Yeah I was kinda busy"

"I could see that downstairs now please" Matt went out first and I trailed behind, mum stopped me

"What" I snapped harshly at her

"So, how was it" she was acting like a teenager, and it's not my first kiss anyway

"Great mum" I smiled it truley was
She grabbed me into a massive hug and I breathed in her scent

"Awhh my baby girl is growing up" she cooed at me as she let me go

"I grew up a long tims ago" the smile fell from both our lips but mum carries on like I hadn't said anything

"Lunch now" I jogged down the stairs to see Matt and dad having a coversation over a plate of chicken salad

-------

"Who's for a game" I asked intently after eating 3/4 of my meal

"Go on then" Matt said shooting me a smile and wrapping his hand round mine

"Mum, Dad?"

"Why not what will it be no hang on let me guess, cricket?" my dads sarcastic tone was matched with laughs from everyone

We made our way into the garden and set the wickets up, it was me and Matt against mum and dad

Me and Matt feilded first I bowled, rather spactaculary I must admit

"Hang on I'm taking my hoodie of it's getting to hot" Matt anounced he threw it over the wicket to which I shot him a dirty look for

I was surprised though that he wasn't covering up his scars infront of my parents, I am not saying that he has to because I don't and mum and dad didn't even batter and eyelid at his

"You're going down dad" I was going to bowl him out end of

I ran up and realised the ball from my hand just watching in slow motion as it collided with the wickets

Matt ran up to me and lifted me up

"YESS!" Me and Matt were in hysterics and mum and dad didn't look amused

"Megan Matt swapy time" my dad practicly skipped over to the bowler spot

----

After about 10 minutes the side doorbell rang, expecting it to be Liam or one of the boys dad shouted at them to come trough

It wasn't Liam or anyone else it was Jameson

"Good afternoon nice game?" he smiled but as soon as he saw Matt it faded quickly

"What can we do you for DI" my dad must have picked up on the serious tension that was escalting and tried his sweet voice to defuse it a little 

"I have news from the trail" my heart stopped what if they let him go free

"We better go inside" everyone quickly followed my dad into the living room and sat down 

Matt sat next to me his arm wrapped protectivly and reassuringly around my waist 

"The first thing I need to say say is that there has been alot of press interest in this case, as you will properly know, I firstly want to say that even though you weren't present Megan to give evidence it didn't matter" I know it wouldn't because we got a formal letter saying that due to my mental stablity then I don't not have to adent just sent in proof of the message 

"What was the verdict?" I blurted out before I could even think of what I was saying

"He was found guilty and has been given a sentence of 20 years" thank fuck 

"But there is the chance he could get out after 15 for good behavouir, but Megan I wouldn't dwell on that, I had better go,goodbye everyone"

everyone stood up and said there goodbyes and Matt showed him to the door, there is something going on I just know it, I followed them 

"You haven't told her then" Jameson was speaking in hushed tones 

"No, why are you here Tom" how does Matt know his first name

"I'm on a case Matt, you'll do well to remember that" I could see the smirk on Matts face then the smile on Jamesons 

"How are mum and dad?" what

"There good, when will you be staying over?" okay?

"I'm coming over in a few days, how are you doing since you got out?" 

"Good Megan she has helped me through so much, and I love her more than she will ever know Tom" I felt a beaming smile on my lips but it didn't stop me doing what I did next 

"What is going on Matt?" they both looked at me shocked 

"You heard everything didn't you?" well done Matt

"Yeah" I must have looked like someone from mean girls I was stood at a slant with my arms crossed across my cheast my mouth sorta open sorta not

"He's my brother Megs".
