Under Someone Else’s Roof

On a stormy day, I was stuck at school, waiting for Megan to pick me up.

Two hours later, she still hadn't arrived.

I couldn't wait any longer and walked out, only to overhear Megan on the phone around the corner:

"I know, I'll bring him back!"

"It's not like I asked his dad to save me back then. I don't owe him anything! Why should he emotionally blackmail me like this!"

My heart ached.

If I could choose, I'd rather my dad hadn't saved her that day. That way, I wouldn't have to live under someone else's roof.
