Megan felt a new surge of energy come thru her body as she kissed Mark. He was one of her closest friends but she didn't know if she loved him.

"Megan....I wanna be with you,if you'll let me."he was touching her buttons on her shirt.Megan's hand zoomed down on top of his and removed it.

"What do you think your doing?" she asked pushing him off of her."GET OFF ME!!" she screamed.

"I wanna be with you.I told you that."he said trying to hold her down.Megan felt the pressure on her upper arms and wanted him off of her.

"I don't wanna have sex with you Mark.Not now not ever ."she said trying to push him off of her.

"Why not?"

"I don't wanna.That's all."

"Your a flirtaous bitch you know that right?" Mark pushed past her and slammed the door to his office. Megan cringed when the door slammed. She decided not to talk to him now,she'd wait until tomorrow. She grabbed her stuff and closed up her office.She noticed a bruise forming on each f her arms.She rolled down her sleeves and left,hoping not to see Mark.As she left the building she saw her best friend,Sam, running down to where her car was parked.

"Sam what are you doing here?, I thought you were in California."

Sam caught her breath,"I was but I came back cause my daddy is sick."

"Oh he is? I didn't know that. Is he ok?"

Sam was shaking her head "Yea he is ok now. SHHH don't tell him but I think he wanted me home for Thanksgiving."

Megan laughed she knew Sam dad."That's probably it Sams.Want a ride?"

"Sure thanks. Where is Hale?"

"I gotta pick her up her new VW Bug broke down or something." she said opening the door to her PT Cruiser.

"Samz!!!"Hale shouted when she saw her. "How are you girl?"

"I'm good what about you?"

"Yo guys," Megan interupted"I know how rude this sounds but it's November get your butts in here so we can go ok?"

"Geez she's grumpy" Sam said putting her arm around Hayley's shoulder.

"Yea...Guess what she gets to do tomorrow?"

" What"

"She gets to take pictures of The Hardy Boys and their pecks!!!!"

"Oh my Gosh. THat is so cool Magz."

"Yea yea yea."

Sam knew Meg better then anyone. "Magz!" Megan turned and looked her in the face. "What's wrong????"

"NUTHIN! God drop it ok?"

"No I won't drop this Meg! You love the Hardys and all you say is yea yea yea? I think not! Now what's REALLY wrong?"

Megan's eyes looked as tho they were calling out for help. Her hazel eyes looked like they were dying inside her head. "I...I..." she started.

"Megan what the hell is this?!?!?!" Hayley lifted up her arm to show the bruise.

"Oh my God Megan." Sam was in disbelief. "Who did this to you?"

"Mark." She couldn't help but cry.

"That son of a bitch!!"

"Megan let me wrestle his ass.I can do it really I can."

"Thanks Hale but I'll be ok."

Sam looked pissed.Really pissed. "Megan I'm a laywer and I get money to defend girls against pricks like Mark. You are just gunna let him get away with this???"

"I...I guess so."

"Have you learned nothing from me?"

"Well I need a boyfriend!"

"One who hits you?!?!?!?"

" Sam! You have Justin I have no one!"

"You have me!" Hayley called from the back.

"Don't bring Justin into this.He doesn't deserve to be in the same category as a woman beater!"

"Well Justin is a sweetheart but he is on the road 9 months a year so how do you know he doesn't cheat on you?"

"STOP IT!!!!!!! Megan leave him out of this."

* WHY CAN"T WE BE FRIENDS;WHY CAN'T WE BE FRIENDS* Hayley started singing in the back. All three started laughing as they drove to Hayley's wrestling school
