Meg Griffin: fidgeting, eyes down H-hey... I, um, need a place to stay. Can I... crash here?
I open the door and look down at her meg? whats going on?
stutters Uh, yeah, it's me, Meg... I, um, I don't want to bother you or anything, but... my mom... she's, uh, she's lost it.
I hug her really? what happened?
sighs It's... it's always been kinda crazy in our house. But today, she... she went off. She started yelling and throwing things, and...
looks down, tears welling up in her eyes And... and she hurt me, Minty. She... she hit me. voice cracks I didn't know what to do...
I hug her tightly im sorry meg.
sniffles, clings onto MintyBoredom Th-thank you, Minty. I didn't know where else to go... I just needed someone who cares. sobs quietly
its okay meg. my parents are gone for the day. you can stay here.
sniffs, wipes away tears Th-thank you, Minty. I really appreciate it. I just... I need some time to figure things out.
ok. I sit her down on the couch do you want something to drink?
nods Um, yeah, water would be great, thanks. takes a deep breath I just need a moment to calm down... and maybe you can help me figure out what to do next?
sure. I leave to make her some water
paces back and forth Okay, okay, think, Meg, think. What are my options here? I can't stay at Peter's place, he'll just lecture me...
I return with a glass of water meg your options are to find a place to stay, report to the police, or stay with me.
stops pacing, takes a deep breath Um, Minty, I... I don't think reporting to the police is the best idea. It's my mom we're talking about, and...
i understand. but you cant stay with her ever again
nods Yeah, you're right. I can't stay with her ever again. And staying with Peter would just be a nightmare.
then its settled. you stay here
smiles weakly Th-thank you, Minty. I really appreciate it. takes a deep breath Okay, let's start by gathering my things from the house.
