Meghan's P.O.V

I sit on my bed, letting out a sigh. My phone continues to ring but I ignore it, not wanting to deal with Emma right now. The headache is killing me and if I hear her blab on about whatever, I won't be happy.

I just need sleep.

Before I snap, I grab the phone quickly and put it on silent before throwing it on the end of the bed. I let my body fall onto the pillows beneath me and sigh again.

The memory of what happened between Jake and I earlier appears in my head and I roll my eyes. Honestly, if he thinks he is so damn nice, he would've helped me and not let Emma completely strip me while talking about how she was so worried about me running off.

Technically, I didn't run off, I just decided to go for a walk. I didn't plan on ending up back here but since a guy tried to force himself onto me, I had no choice. Who was the guy, you ask? Well, that's the problem. I have no idea but I'm sure he won't want to mess with me again since I broke his nose.

I'm pretty sure, from what I remember, he goes to my school but I haven't seen him around much. He usually doesn't appear in any of my classes except for maths, which I occasionally skip if I don't want to be apart of the class.

I know I'm suppose to behave and all but if maths was a guy, I would literally kill him. How the fuck am I suppose to find out the answer to a + b? I mean, I guessed it as c but obviously, I got that wrong according to the nerd boy - Jake.

If it wasn't for the fact that I am intrigued in Jake, I would be gone by now. Hell, I would've not even came here if that supervisor didn't tell me that I would be living with a seventeen year old boy. The only bad thing about living here though is the stupid therapy sessions. I've only had two while I have been here but goddamn... is Hannah trying to make me punch a wall? She has my file and that has everyone about me on there so I don't know why she has to ask the questions that she already knows the answers to.

It's just stupid and useless.

Suddenly, I hear my bedroom door creak open and I immediately sit up, hoping that it is Jake for some odd reason. Instead of seeing a brown-haired nerd, Hannah appears in front of me and I let out a groan, falling back onto my bed.

Speak of the devil and she shall appear...

"Meghan," Hannah calls and I wave her off.

"I already know what your going to say and I don't feel like it. I want to sleep, thank you." I say and Hannah chuckles, walking into my room. I mentally roll my eyes.

Can this lady not take a hint?

"Believe it or not, I wasn't going to tell you to come downstairs for a therapy session. I actually wanted to ask you something." Hannah says and I look at Jake's mom, my eyebrows furrowing.

"About?"

"You." Hannah says and my frown on my face deepens. Me? Did I hear that right? No one ever wants to know anything about me because they are too afraid to ask but since Hannah is older, I'm guessing she has no right to be scared.

I let out a sigh and it up, leaning my back against the head rest. I grab the purple pillow and place it on my lap, my arms wrapping around it. "Go ahead." I say tiredly and Hannah places her right leg over her left, looking over at me.

"Is there a reason why you are who you are?" Hannah asks and my eyes widen in surprise. Well, I'd be lying if I honestly saw that question coming my way.

I pause and think for a second. I mean, my mom did treat me like shit when I was younger so maybe I can say that it was my mom but then again, even when she treated me like shit, I had no other reason to hate her. With the only parent I had, I had no choice but to still love my mother, even though I didn't want to. The things my mom put my brother and I through weren't pretty but I guess she had a tough childhood which is part of the reason why she couldn't look over us.

And that's why I was sent to that damn orphanage.

That's when I started to get my temper and thats when I started to change. So, I guess you can say that the orphanage basically turned me into the person I am today, even though it was partially my mom's fault.

"Yes... but I have a feeling you already know. Other from the fact that you have actually read my file, I'm pretty sure you want to know the deeper story to why I am and that, I am not okay with." I say and Hannah nods.

"Thats acceptable but since you are here to basically control the thoughts and feelings inside your head, I have to know. We don't have to talk about it now but in our next session, we will have to bring it up. By the way, if your worried about anyone knowing, it's confidential so I won't tell anyone." Hannah explains and I give her a blank stare.

"Please, you've probably told Jake everything there is to know about me." I say with a roll of my eyes and Hannah chuckles.

"He only knows what is needed. The deeper information, the sessions, they are confidential." Hannah says and I let out a sigh, running my hair through my blonde hair.

"I have a hard time believing that." I say and Hannah stands up, walking over to the door.

"Believe what you want. I'm telling the truth." Hannah says and before she leaves the room, she stops in her tracks and turns back around to say something. "By the way, dinner is going to be ready in fifteen." Hannah says and I send her a nod, watching as she walks out of my room, closing the door behind her. I breathe out a sigh and run my hands down my face.

I guess I won't be getting any sleep then.

After eating dinner, Hannah had to go meet one of her patients at her office since it was urgent, leaving Jake and I once again. Instead of us having a fun time and not spending out time sleeping like we should be, Jake had a 'better idea'.

Of course, hearing that got my hopes up but when we got to his room and he pointed at the sheets on the floor, I knew where he was getting at.

I forgot that Jake is my tutor.

"So, if you read the full question, realising that q is representing seven and e is representing six, what would q + e equal?" Jake asks and I let out a groan.

"I don't know..." I grumble and Jake gives me a blank stare. I raise my eyebrow at him and Jake's eyes widen.

"This is possibly the most easiest question and your saying you don't know? Meghan, concentrate!" Jake scolds and I groan again, rubbing my tired eyes.

"I am concentrating." I mumble and Jake shakes his head.

"If you were concentrating, you would be able to know that all you have to do is plus seven and six." Jake says with a small grin and I look at him, a frown on my lips once again.

"Really?" I ask and Jake nods. I look down at the sheet and read the question, realising that all I have to do is exactly what Jake just said. I look back up at Jake to see his grin still there.

"Well, if that's all, then the answer is thirteen." I say, a small smile on my face and Jake claps.

"Good job. Maybe if you pay attention more in class, you wouldn't be here listening to my voice." Jake says and I smirk.

"That just makes me not want to pay attention even more." I say, crossing my arms over my chest and Jake chuckles, rolling his eyes.

"Your so unbelievable." Jake mutters and begins to pack up everything that is in front of us.

"What are you doing?" I ask and Jake looks up at me, the papers in his hand.

"Our session is over. It's eleven." Jake says and I nearly jumped up with relief. Nearly. I can't be acting all... weird and not myself in front of a guy who has a trickster and a player as his best friends.

Who knows what he has already told them...

I nod and stand up, wiping my hands on my brother's old shirt that I usually wear to bed. Actually, scratch that. I wear this to bed every night. It helps me feel closer to him.

"Cool." I mumble and Jake shakes his head, chuckling. I narrow my eyes at him and Jake stands up, walking over to his bed where the folder is and places the sheets of paper in it.

"You can't act yourself when you're around me, can you?" Jake asks and I roll my eyes.

"I'm doing it now, aren't I?" I ask and Jake shakes his head.

"No you aren't." Jake says with another chuckle and I cross my arms over my chest. Before I can say a word, Jake continues. "You have been living with me for a few weeks now and the real side of you is slowly coming out and you know it." Jake says, a small grin appearing on his face and I raise my eyebrow at him.

"Excuse me?" I ask and Jake raises his hands up in the air.

"I'm only saying the truth, Meghan." Jake says and I walk towards him, the grin on Jake's face slowly going away. I look at Jake once I am in front of him and place my hand on his cheek.

"I may have only been here for three weeks or so but from what I know, there is a deeper side to the boy who hides behind books." I say, watching as Jake begins to blush at the fact that my hand is still on his cheek. "Jakie, I've said this once but I'm going to say it again. I am going to figure you out, even if it's the last thing I do." I say before dropping my hand to my side and walking out of Jake's room.

Ugh, I just need to find the right person to give me the right answers and I know Hannah won't so that only leaves three people...

Emma, Danny and that Courtney bitch.
