Mabel finally withdrew from the hug and let Megan rest on the couch. After a lot of crying, Megan had regained herself a bit. She saw Mabel watching her so intensely like she was scared of something but before she could ask, Mabel spoke.
" I have a huge bucket of ice cream in the freezer, found this new trending film on netflix and I want us to share them together. Let's cry together Megan, you don't have to do everything alone, like you said you need somebody and you have got me so..... want to?", Mabel asked with enthusiasm and Megan smiled.
" I have really got you.... and am glad you didn't tell me to stop crying or give me those dumb encouragements that everything is going to be ok because that just makes me feel more awful about myself. Thanks a lot Mabel, this friend will never forget this", Megan said finding it hard to not cry again in front of Mabel.
Jace was right about everything. Why do you need a friend if that friend couldn't even help you when sad? She sighed in relief as she watched Mabel walk away and stared at the huge plasma Tv on the wall. She thought back to the time when she was so scared of telling Mabel or anyone. Who knew such a weight could be lifted just by speaking up?
The door bell rang breaking her from her thoughts and she heard Mabel shout all the way from the kitchen. " Mabel that must be my mom, could you get the door for me, am kinda busy over here?", Mabel poked her head out of the kitchen and when she saw Megan nod in affirmation,she went back to what she was doing.
Megan walked over to the door and opened it immediately and without even staring at her, Mrs Cee began to complain as she walked in.
" What took you so long Mabel? I had a hefty day at work and I'm really stressed you know, you don't expect me to be standing at the door all day just because of you?", Flore asked and she heard Mabel speak all the way from the kitchen.
" Hefty day at work? What happened?", Mabel asked out of concern and Flore looked ahead of her to see Mabel over the kitchen front. Without staring at the person opposite her, she leaped away and Megan stared at her cutely.
" Good evening Mabel's mom. I was the one who opened the door", Megan said softly and Flore just stared quietly at her. She finally regained herself and walked over to give Megan a nice hug.
" I'm so sorry for not noticing you. I thought you were Mabel. How are you dear?", She asked after letting go of Megan and Megan smiled softly. " I'm fine Mabel's mom. Mind if I sleep here tonight, Mabel and I are having a sleepover party- theme *heartbroken girls*", she said and Flore nodded softly.
" Ok then you girls take care.... I'll be heading upstairs to freshen up and come prepare dinner ok", Flore said and nodded at Megan before hurrying upstairs to freshen up. She was really so worked up today.
Mabel returned back to the kitchen as she had left the tap running. Meanwhile Megan heard the door bell ring again and she couldn't help but smile. Mabel's mom and Dad almost came home at the same time, she thought, assuming the one at the door was Mr Cee.
But the moment she opened the door, flock of girls rushed in. All of them from their school, infact a total number of six girls.
" Megan? We were trying your line but you weren't answering, here to see the bride, so are we", Lily Rose said with a cute smile and Megan didn't know if to let her eyes pop out or scream herself awake from this terrible nightmare.
