Chapter 11
It's the end of the lesson.
'Don't forget to do your reading tonight, we'll be having a pop quiz tomorrow.' Adrain informs the class and they all groan. The bell then rings signally the end of the lesson. 'I'll see you all tomorrow.' He then dismisses the class. Everyone stands up and starts packing up their bags. 'Miss Levine, can I speak to you for a moment?' Megan nods slowly and waits until everyone has left before approaching Adrian. He reaches into his pocket and takes out a key alongside a sheet of paper. 'Here's a key to my apartment and the address. I have a meeting but I'll be there in about an hour and a half.'
'Okay.' Megan nods, fighting the urge to say no, knowing that if she does, he'll find a way to get what he wants. He always does.
'Go.' He motions for her to walk out the room. Megan leaves and starts making her way to Adrian's apartment.
.
Two hours later, Adrian has arrived home. He walks into the living room and sees Megan cross-legged on the sofa. He gets a damp face towel from the bathroom before returning to the living room. He sits beside Megan and starts kissing her neck.
'Let's get this make-up off.' He whispers. He wipes the make-up off her neck and smirks when he sees his mark. 'From now on, when we're alone together here, you don't cover anything up. Understand?' Megan stays silent. 'Come on, you don't want to ignore me, do you?'
'No.' Megan says quietly. 'I won't cover anything up.'
'Good girl.' Adrian strokes her cheek with his finger. 'Now,' he sighs, standing up, pulling her up with him, 'strip.'
'I don't-' Megan starts to shake her head. Before she can finish, Adrian balls part of her hair into his fist and pulls her to him, causing her to whimper.
'You really don't want to test me today.' He growls.
'It hurt,' Megan says, tears prickling her eyes, 'last time. It hurt.'
'That's because it was your first time.' Adrain releases her and fixes her hair. 'And you don't have a choice this time. I won't just fail you,' he tucks a strand of hair behind her ear, 'I will kill you.'
.
A month has passed. Sylvie alongside the rest of 51, have noticed that something has been going on with Megan, but isn't sure what. Sylvie is now on desk duty at the Firehouse. It's Friday afternoon, Megan is walking into the Firehouse. She sees Squad 3 sat at their table and stops to talk to them. She sits in one of the empty chairs.
'How was school?' Kelly asks her.
'Same old.' Megan shrugs. She discretely pulls down her sleeves so no-one will accidentally see the fresh cuts on her wrists. She thinks no-one notices but Kelly and Joe do. 'Nothing interesting happened.' Kelly shoots a look at Tony and Capp as if to tell them to do something else.
'We're gonna go and do some equipment checks.' Tony takes the hint. They both stand up and walk into the apparatus room.
'Megan,' Joe begins, 'are you okay?'
'Yeah.' Megan forces a smile. 'Why wouldn't I be?'
'You pulled down your sleeves.' Kelly points out. 'And every time I see you, it looks like something is bothering you.'
'Are you cutting?' Joe questions. 'There is no shame in admitting it. It doesn't make you weak.' He assures her.
'I should probably go and see Sylvie so she knows that I'm here.' Megan avoids the question. She stands up. 'I appreciate the concern. I really do. The only person in my life who has ever been concerned about my mental health has been Sylvie. But I'm fine.' She smiles slightly before walking through to the bullpen and up to Sylvie. 'Hey.' She forces a smile as she pulls a chair over and sits with her cousin.
'Hey.' Sylvie smiles back. 'Did you have a good day?'
'Yeah.' Megan nods.
'Sergeant Voight called me not that long ago.' Sylvie tells Megan. 'He wants to speak to you. He didn't say about what. Do you have any idea what it's about?'
'No.' Megan shakes her head.
'Why don't you head over now?' Sylvie suggests. 'And then I'll just meet you at home.'
'Okay.' Megan nods. She quickly hugs Sylvie before leaving.
.
Twenty minutes later, Megan is arriving at the 21st District. She's become close with the Intelligence Unit members because of Antonio. She walks up to the desk where Trudy is stood.
'Hey, Trudy.' Megan smiles slightly.
'Hey. Trudy smiles back as she looks up. 'Voight said to expect you. I'll take you up, c'mon.' Trudy walks around from the back of the desk. 'Have you just come from the Firehouse?'
'Yeah.' Megan nods. They both walk up to the Intelligence Unit bullpen and Trudy leads her to Voight's office.
'Megan.' Voight smiles slightly. 'Take a seat.' He nods at Trudy who walks out, closing the door behind her.
'Sylvie said you wanted to speak to me?' Megan asks.
'I wanted to ask you a few questions about what happened when you were in Canada.' Voight informs her.
'You're gonna have to be a bit more specific.' Megan laughs nervously. 'A lot of things happened to me in Canada.'
'About your friend, Grayson Anderson.' Voight states. Megan looks to the ground and tries to cry as thinks about her best friend. She composes herself before looking back up at Voight.
'What do you want to know?' She questions.
After a tough hour talking with Voight, Megan starts heading home, but instead of going home, she starts walking to Chicago Med to talk to Dr Charles.
.
When Megan arrives at Med, she walks up to Dr Charles' office and hesitantly knocks.
'Come in.' She hears. She walks in and closes the door behind her. 'Megan, what can I do for you?' Dr Charles asks.
'Whatever I say is confidential, right?' Megan asks.
'Unless you're planning to harm yourself or someone else, yes.' Dr Charles nods.
'I need to ask you a few questions.' Megan states.
'Okay.' Dr Charles nods, motioning to one of the chairs.
'I'll stand.' Megan shakes her head. 'Otherwise I won't be able to stop moving.' She adds. 'Hypothetically, what would happen if a student and a teacher were in a "relationship"?'
'Going by those air quotes, I'm going to need more context.' Dr Charles replies.
'Like the teacher was threatening to fail to the student and do stuff to them if they didn't do what they were told.' Megan says.
'If you're talking about what I think you're talking about,' Dr Charles states. 'It's statutory rape. The teacher would lose their job and most likely be arrested. Nothing would really happen with the student.'
'What if the student was willing a couple of time? Not to sex but to kissing, touching. Like they didn't push the teacher away?' Megan paces around the room.
'It's still statutory rape.' Dr Charles responds. 'Regardless of whether the student gave consent. What are the ins and outs of this hypothetical relationship?'
'Hypothetically?' Megan makes sure and Dr Charles nods. 'When this student first met the teacher, the teacher - he started making lustful looks towards the students. After a few weeks, he approached her and threatened to fail her if she didn't have sex with him. The student was already getting A's in everything and if she had a fail on her record, she'd need to go through tutoring as per school policy. That tutoring cost extra money and her parents couldn't afford it so she went through with it, thinking it was only one time but it wasn't.' She walks over to the window and looks out of it. 'When the student left the school for a new school she thought it was all over but it wasn't all over. He followed suit and got a job at her new school.'
'Oh, Megan.' Dr Charles sighs, confirming his suspicions that she was talking about herself.
'Final question,' Megan begins, turning back to face Dr Charles, 'hypothetically, what if said student was pregnant?'

I wanted to get this up ASAP whilst the ideas were still in my head so apologies if it seems a bit messy and chaotic but oh well. I live to create chaos.
Let me know what you think!
Much love
