Disclaimer: See chapter 1 please.

 

One morning, how many days later he didn't know, he awoke to loud noises, and what sounded like fighting. He looked down at Megan, and became thoroughly worried when she wasn't awake, and barely breathing. He jumped when the door to the cell burst open and his brothers were standing there. They ran over to him, quickly working on his chains.

“Thank God we found you, we have to hurry, we only have five minutes to get you out of here.” Joe said, pulling Nick up. They began to pull him out of the cell, but he pulled back.

“You have to take her, don't leave her here, please.” Nick begged. Kevin looked at Joe, who nodded before hurriedly running over and jerking the chains free of the girl. He threw her over his shoulder as they made a run for the exit. Somehow, amazingly, through all the fighting going on, they made it free of the hellhole they had been trapped in, and onto an escape plane.

Once on the plane the agency doctors looked over Nick, cleaning all his wounds and such. When they were finished with him, they began to check over Megan, they made Nick leave the area for a bit, while they checked her over completely, and cleaned all the cuts, gashes, and scars on her body.

“Who is she?” Joe asked when Nick sat down in the front with him and Kevin. Nick looked up from his hands, which were bandaged from his shoulders all the way to his fingers.

“Who is she? Oh, Megan you mean? Remember the agent they sent in over a year to shut down the operation?” He asked, Kevin stopped him.

“It's been two years now. You were in there for eight months.” He said, and Nick was surprised, but just shook his head.

“Anyway, she's the one they sent in, someone had leaked information into the group and so they were waiting for her.” He explained. The two were stunned as he continued to tell them his story. When he finished the brothers were absolutely horrified. They all ran to the back of the plane when they heard a scream, there they found that the doctors had tied Megan down to the bed and were looming over her. Kevin and Joe shoved the doctors away, and Nick quickly released Megan's bindings, and she hugged herself tightly to his stomach. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders protectively.

“Its okay, I wont let them hurt you. I swear, no one will ever hurt you again.” He whispered, gently stroking her hair. After a moment, when she had calmed a bit, he carried her to the front with him, setting her in his lap. He gently hummed to her, hoping she would calm down enough to rest, which after about 20 minutes she did. Joe and Kevin watched him.

“I couldn't leave her, I promised her that no matter what I wouldn't leave her there. And, I . . . I think I've fallen in love with her. Guys, if you had seen half of what she's been through, you would never want to leave the house. She saved my life. She took double the beatings just so they would lay off me.” He said with a pain filled voice. He looked up at his older brothers, and in their eyes he saw a sudden fierce need to protect the girl that had protected their little brother, and stolen his heart.

When they reached the airport in Georgia, Nick gently picked Megan up from her seat, and carried her off the plane. The brothers' parents were the first ones to greet them, tightly hugging each boy.

“Oh Nick! I'm so glad you're alright!” His mother said, before noticing Nick carried a girl in his arms. She saw the girl had lacerations, gashes, bruises and so much more. She gasped. “Is that?”

“Megan, the agent that infiltrated the society two years ago.” Nick said quietly so as not to wake up the girl that slept in his arms. They all quickly went to the limo and got in, Nick kept Megan in his arms, but shifted her, so her head now lay on his shoulder and she sat with her legs across his lap on the seat.

“How did you find her?” His dad asked from across the limo where he sat with Mrs. Jonas and the youngest brother, Frankie.

Nick explained everything that happened, all of their beatings and such at that place taking out certain parts to protect his little brother. When he was finished his mother was horrified, and so was the rest of his family.

“If you went through almost a year of that, she went through an extra year, alone. That poor girl.” Mrs. Jonas said, pity in her voice. They all sat in silence for the remainder of the ride to their secluded home out in the countryside.

When they reached the house, Nick lay Megan in his bed and went to take a shower, a quick one, so he left his family to watch over Megan while he couldn't. He was halfway through his shower when he heard an ear-piercing scream. He wrapped a towel around his waist and ran for his room.

“Get away! Please, please don't hurt me,” Megan whimpered, cowering in a corner of Nick's bed. He quickly shoved past his family and told them to move away. He walked slowly towards the bed.

“Megan, Meg, look at me, its Nick, I'm right here,” he said, gently sitting on the edge of the bed. Megan looked past her arms and he saw in her eyes terror and loneliness. “Its alright, I wont let anyone hurt you ever again.” He said in the voice he always used when they were in the cell to calm her into a sleep. She launched herself at him, clinging to him tightly, sobbing and burying her face in his chest. He wrapped his arms around her tightly, and looked at his family. He saw in all their eyes most of what he felt. The need to help her, the need to protect her, and heartbreak, they all felt compassion for her, but Nick felt also the need to love her, he already did, but he wanted to be the one she ran to for comfort, the one she could one day love.

“Megan, look at me for a second, okay, I want you to meet some people, these people are important to me, and you can trust them, okay?” Nick looked at Megan, making sure she was paying attention. He smiled when she nodded, sniffling a bit.

“This is my family, my mom Denise, my dad, Kevin Sr., my oldest brother, Kevin Jr., my other older brother Joe, and my little brother Frankie.” Nick introduced. Each one waved, but didn't move any closer, wanting to give her time to trust them. Megan just nodded, then returned her head to Nick's chest. He sighed. “I need to finish my shower real quick okay? I'm going to leave mom in here with you, but I will be right down the hall.” Nick stood when Megan nodded, but didn't leave the room till everyone but his mom had left, and he made sure Megan wasn't scared of her.

He hurriedly ran to the shower, finished scrubbing his hair and body, and then towel dried off and pulled on a pair of boxers and silk pajama bottoms before going back into his room. He found Megan wrapped around one of his pillows, his mom gently stroking her hair and humming to her. Megan seemed to have calmed down, but he could still see her shaking. His mom stood up, and Megan's eyes snapped open, but she immediately calmed again when she saw him. He kissed his mom's cheek goodnight, then gently sat down on the bed beside Megan. After a moment he lay down and she moved close to him for comfort. He gently stroked her cheek with a finger before wrapping her in his arms, and putting his chin on top of her head. He hummed a song for her, hoping it would sooth her into a restful sleep.
