Chapter 3
The next morning was rather gloomy. An overcast sky with the sun hidden behind the clouds. It was normally a weather you would want to wrap yourself self in a blanket and stay in bed...
Megan

Caleb (Megan's Brother)
You don't have to announce it every day. We know.
Megan
(Runs out of the room and knocks on Caleb's head as she takes a bread) Shhh (She's runs out of the house)
Lucas
(He had woken up early in the morning. He looks out of his window as she sees her run. He Chuckles as her turn around and sits infront of his laptop)
After a while Lucas goes to his backyard for a smoke and he sees Caleb building a pyramid with cards
Caleb (Megan's Brother)
(Looks at him and smiles)
Lucas
(Puts his cigarette back in the box and Smiles back) Hey Kiddo
Caleb (Megan's Brother)
Hello...
Lucas

Caleb (Megan's Brother)
(Nods) Mom hates that I sit inside the whole day reading reading
Lucas
(Chuckles) I understand. My mom hated that too.
Caleb (Megan's Brother)

Caleb (Megan's Brother)

Caleb (Megan's Brother)
(Looks at him and blinks a few times)
Lucas
(Checking the pyramid) Looks solid.
Caleb (Megan's Brother)
(In a proud tone) I know.
Lucas
(Chuckles) So... You close to your sister?
Caleb (Megan's Brother)
(Looks at him and nods) You met her?
Lucas
(Smiles) Yea. Right in this backyard too.
Caleb (Megan's Brother)
After she gets back from work I guess
Caleb (Megan's Brother)

Caleb (Megan's Brother)
Why do you ask?
Lucas

Caleb (Megan's Brother)

Megan
(Sighs as she is working) Godddd. So hectic.
Alex
(Enters her office) Hello Miss Megan?
Alex
(Comes in chuckling) I come baring gifts. (Showing two cups of coffees)
Megan
(Looks at it with sparkling eyes and stretches her hands) Yes..... My love...
Alex
(Gives her the coffee)
Megan
(She takes a sip) Amen....
Megan
(Looks at him) Your comedy level has dropped down by so many levels.
Alex
(Scoffs and looks at his coffee) So... You free tonight by any chance...
Megan
(Remebers last night)
Lucas
(Smiles) I'll see you tomorrow
Megan
(A small smile cracks as she nods) Tomorrow (She walks away with a smile)
Megan
(Smiles for a second before she stops and clears her throats) I need to go home tonight.
Alex
(Noticed the smile but does not question it) Oh....Alright. Thought we could go for karaoke.
Megan
(Frowns) Maybe tomorrow
Alex
(Looks at her with a smile) Sure. Tomorrow then
Megan
(She Smiles and nods)
Alex
(Stands up) Alright. Gotta go. I have work to do.
Megan
(Groans) Why remind me?
Alex
(Chuckles) Good luck.
The night falls and Megan returns home
Megan
(Groaning as she enters the house) So tired.....
Sia (Megan's Mom)
(Looks at her) Welcome back.
Caleb (Megan's Brother)
(Looks at her as she walks by) Lucas mentioned you today.
Megan
(Freezes and Runs back to her brother) What?
Caleb (Megan's Brother)
(Looks at her) I met him in the backyard this afternoon. She asked about you.
Megan
(She Looks at him) Did he say something?
Caleb (Megan's Brother)
(Shakes his head) He just asked if we are close.
Megan
(Sighs and goes to the fridge)
Sia (Megan's Mom)
(Looks at her confused after seeing this scene) You ok?
Megan
(Nods and takes a drink out) You know where I will be.
Megan
(She opens before opening the door to the backyard. She takes a deep breath and opens the door to find no one) Uhmmm (She slowly walks out)
The wind blows as she looks around to find no one.
Megan
(She sighs and sits on her chair) What was I even expecting? (She takes a sip of the juice)
A door opens from behind and Lucas comes out
Lucas
(Looks at her and walks to her) Oh. You're here early.
Megan
(Looks at him) Maybe your late.
Lucas
(Chuckles) You do realize you are meet by coincidence and none of us have any idea what time we come out here right?
Lucas
(Sits near her and lights his cigarette)
Megan
(Looks at him) You look tired....
Lucas
I haven't been able to sleep too well.
Lucas
Work stress you can say
Megan
(Chuckles) I relate to that.
They both look at the moon in silence for a while
Lucas
The moon is beautiful...Isn't it.
Megan
(Nods and takes a sip) Its really is....
The sit in silence as Lucas smokes and Megan sips her juice
Caleb (Megan's Brother)
(Peeking from the door) Interesting...
Sia (Megan's Mom)
(To Caleb from the kitchen) Did you call your sister?
Caleb (Megan's Brother)
Megan....Dinner Time.
Megan
(Looks that the house and then at Lucas.) Uhmmm....Listen..I will be coming home late tomorrow.
Lucas
(Looks at her) Got a date?
Megan
(Shakes and her head and waves her hand) No No. Just going out with my best friend
Lucas
(Smiles as he looks down and nods) Sounds Nice
Lucas
(Looks at her again) So you will not be here tomorrow night?
Look into into each other's eyes for a while and....
Megan
(Flinches and turn back and then looks at him) I'm sorry. I need to go now. I'll.....see you.
She walks aways leaving him alone.
Lucas
(Looks at her as she fades into her house and sighs)
The night was just as gloomy as the day for the two as they thought about next night.
