"You can sleep on my bed and I can sleep on the couch if you would like."
"Can you sleep with me it would make me feel more protected."
"Of course."
"Where's your bath room?"
"Down the hall first to on your left."
Megan went to the bathroom room and cleaned off her mascara stained cheeks. She changed into her Nightgown and brushed her hair.
When she walked back into Jackson room he was putting on some pajama pants and got in bed not bothering with a shirt. Megan laid down in the bed and put her head on Jackson's chest.
"Thank you for helping me."
"Your welcome Megan."
"I think I'm going to call in sick tomorrow. Adrik will probably try and find me tomorrow at the theater."
"Ok. Do you want me to stay with you?"
"That would be nice."
"Then I will call in tomorrow morning. Goodnight Megan."
"Goodnight Jackson."
She closed her eyes. When Jackson thought she was asleep he whispered "I love you." Megan thought that's what she heard but couldn't tell.

"Tonight I'm going to go see a band play."
"Alone?"
"Yes I think it will be good for me to regain some independence."
"That's sounds like a good idea. You should go I will stay at home."
"Ok see you after the show."
After the show Megan and Jackson went back home and Megan changed her clothes. Jackson said goodbye and she left to get a drink then go to the concert.
