The Past Between Us novel Chapter 9

|3 years ago|

I frowned when I heard the doorbell ring.

It was past eleven and we weren't expecting visitors.

My face relaxed when I saw Megan standing outside through the peephole.

"Hey Megs. Everything okay?" I asked her seriously.

She just rolled her eyes. "Hunter and Tristan are fighting again. I need some peace and quiet so I'm sleeping over at yours."

I laughed as I stepped aside to let her in.

"Do you want to watch something?" Megan questioned as she made her way to my room.

My lips pulled into a smirk as my eyes met hers.

I smirked as my eyes met hers. "One Tree Hill?"

"One Tree Hill." She squealed.

We spent the next few hours watching our favorite show while eating junk-food.

The clock was about to strike 3AM when I finally switched off the TV in my room.

Megan yawned as she made herself comfortable in my bed. I smiled and lay down next to her.

I was about to drift off when her voice broke in.

My eyes flew open and I turned to smack her arm. She burst into a fit of giggles.

Peaceful silence enveloped us.

"Hey, Scar?" She whispered after a while.

"Yes, Megan?" I smiled.

"We'll always be sisters right? We'll always have each other's backs?" Her voice was fading, like she was drifting off to sleep.

"Yes we will. Always." I whispered as my eyes closed.

The world finally faded into blackness.
