Chapter 16
Megan
- It's a couple months after we last saw Megan and only about a month before her disappearance.
- Megan lies in bed, feeling hot and suffocated.
- She says that talking to Kamal helped her; "He made me happier" (16.7).
- But she's still going to have to swallow her pride and her shame and "go to him" (16.9).
- Megan starts off by apologizing for what happened the night before, and then she tells him about her brief relationship with Mac after her brother died.
- She got pregnant, and even though she couldn't take care of the baby, she still had it, and named her Libby.
- One day, Mac left her for days.
- Megan was cold so she climbed into the bathtub with the baby. She fell asleep, though, and the baby drowned. Yikes.
- Interrupting this sob story, Megan gets a call from her friend Tara.
- Tara says Scott is looking for her so she needs to go home.
- Kamal tells Megan she can come back another time if she likes. She kisses him goodbye, and he doesn't pull away. Bad doctor.
