Disclaimer: Drake and Josh belongs to Dan Schneider.

MEGAN POV

It had been three weeks since I had regained my eyesight after the operation to remove the cataracts. I was sitting watching TV with Lin, Drake and Rachel were making out at the other end of the sofa and Josh was through in the kitchen with Mindy. Just then the phone rang, Mom answered it, I decided to dismiss it as unimportant until I glanced back and noticed her expression, she looked worried. I listened in.

"Are you sure...But what if...Okay...I'll tell her...Thank you".

Mom hung up the phone and walked over to us, Drake and Rachel had parted and were also watching confused. I noticed Mom looked scared about something, after a moment of silence I couldn't take the suspense anymore.

"Mom, what's going on, who was that?"

She sighed and then, re-awoke my worst nightmare.

"That was the police...Megan...I'm afraid...Mark's made bail, he's out now".

I froze, shock and terror building up in me. Mark, my abusive ex-boyfriend, the guy I dated before Lin. He had been arrested twice for his mistreatment of me and now he was out. Would he come after me a third time, my terror at the thought made me feel physically sick.

I was freaking out, Mark was out of jail and could come back and hurt me again. Oh God, what am going to do? Drake then spoke but his words didn't help.

"Megan, calm down".

I stared at him incredulously.

"Calm down, how the hell am I supposed to calm down when my psycho ex is out of jail!"

"He won't hurt you…"

I almost at once felt myself calm down as Lin wrapped his arms around me, he then continued to speak.

"…You've got us, we can help you remember".

"I-I guess you're right, thanks Lin".

I kissed him, God what did I do to deserve this guy as my boyfriend. Finally, after another ten minutes I was calmer and we were all eating dinner, I was still worried but felt more equipped to cope with the news that my ex was out. After a while I heard that Drake and Rachel were planning another date for tomorrow, however since Rachel's parents were also going out, so Rachel was looking for a babysitter for her younger sister. I willingly volunteered to take care of her, I had taken care of Tori Olbermann a few times and she had taken a liking to me. Lin unfortunately wouldn't be able to help me this time as it was his Mom's birthday, I didn't mind, however it looked like I would be taking care of her alone. Josh and Mindy were going on a date too and Mom and Walter were going out for a romantic day.

LIN POV

After dinner Megan and I returned to watch TV, I thought for a moment and then decided to ask her.

"Megan, are you sure you're okay now, I mean…I know you're still freaked out about Mark, but…"

She turned to face me and smiled.

"I'm fine, really".

I thought for a minute and then.

"If you're still worried I could stay with you and watch Tori".

"No Lin, I'll be fine, don't forget, it's your Mom's birthday tomorrow. You can't miss something that important".

I smiled, it was things like that which made me love Megan even more, that and our similar sense of humour, not that we had pranked Drake or Josh or any of the others recently but we still had fun pranking people at school. I smiled and kissed her temple as we continued to watch TV, I just hoped Mark would cause any trouble again. Just then Megan's phone rang, she looked at it and sighed.

"Not a number I recognize, but what's the bet it's Mark".

I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, it has to be him".

Megan sighed and refused to answer, so it went to voice mail.

"I'm back bitch, I swear to God I'm gonna make you pay for this, got that".

Megan rolled her eyes and deleted it.

"That's just pathetic, he needs new material if he thinks that threat will work".

I smiled, at least Megan was scared of him this time.

MEGAN POV

It was the following day, Lin had texted me, he was helping his father prepare for his mother's birthday and promised to call me later. Josh and Mindy were already out on their date, so was Mom and Walter. Drake and Rachel were getting ready to go out, everything for Tori was already set up, I was holding the little girl in my arms. After saying bye to Drake and Rachel I turned back to the main room, I smiled at Tori who smiled back and began playing with my hair. Mark could go to hell with his empty threat, I gently began rocking Tori. She was tired and fell asleep quickly, I smiled again and gently set her in the small crib. I quickly walked through to my room, to make sure I had everything I needed to take care of her.

End of chapter, Mark, Megan's abusive ex, is now out on bail, will he start causing trouble? Megan is currently babysitting, surely nothing can go wrong with that. Hope you enjoyed this chapter, read and review please.
