“Yeah, I guess it is a stupid idea,” she concluded. “But what am I gonna do, Meg?”
“I don’t know,” Megan answered. “But I’m sure we’ll be able to work something out….”
“After the way they reacted, I’m not sure I want to…”
Megan sighed. “OK, look…they’ve been on edge lately. Because of me.”
“Because of your…um…accidents?”
“No, because I was attacked.”
“Attacked?!”
“At the pool. Days ago.”
“Oh my God, that was you?”
Megan nodded. “I’m kinda over it now, but Mom and dad are still a bit upset by it. They don’t want to see anything bad happen to any of us. So cut them some slack, OK? And I’ll try to talk to them.”
“Thanks, Meg.”
Megan decided to wait until approaching her parents about Carrie. She knew what they would say anyway. That it was none of her business.
