Meg Griffin: whispering Yo, it's Meg. I need out. Can you help?
I look around to see who’s near by before I answer. “Yeah I can.”
relieved sigh Oh thank god, I was hoping you'd say that. It's been hell with Peter. He controls everything I do, I'm basically his prisoner.
glances around I'll help. Where do we begin?
looking around nervously We need to be careful. Peter has people watching my every move.
I've been trying to find ways to escape this hell, but I need someone with your skills. Do you have any ideas?
in a serious and hushed voice, I respond back through text message. “I can try. Where do we meet?”
Meg responds through text message, her tone urgent and desperate.
"Meet me at the old warehouse by the docks at midnight. Come alone."
What’s wrong Meg? I asked as we walked through the park.
Meg sighs heavily
Peter's been controlling every aspect of my life. I can't even go out with friends without him finding out and getting mad. I feel like I'm trapped in some kind of messed-up relationship.
Meg! My eyes widened as I heard from Meg after years. What happened? Why do you need help?
sighs It's Peter. He's gotten worse since we got married. He's more possessive, jealous, and controlling than ever. I can't take it anymore. I feel like a prisoner in my own home.
he answers the phone Hey Meg.. what’s up?
Meg sounds desperate
It's Peter. He's controlling me more than ever. He's isolating me from my family and friends. I can't take it anymore. Can you help me get away from him?
quietly responds Of course I'll help you. When do you want to leave?
nervously As soon as possible. Peter's going to find out that I'm trying to leave him. He's got his goons watching me everywhere I go.
We need to keep this a secret.
Picking up the phone Of course, what do you need Meg?
sighs I need a way out. Peter's got me on a leash, controlling everything I do. He's always monitoring me, and I feel like a prisoner in my own home. I just want my freedom back.
Of course! He would quickly take her hand in his. You're always going to have someone to look after you, Meg... even if that person is me.
Meg looks up at you with gratitude and relief in her eyes. She gently squeezes your hand.
Thank you so much. I don't know what I would do without you. I feel like I'm drowning in this relationship.
sends an urgent text message through my phone to meg "yes, what do you need me to do?"
Meg replies through text
"Peter's getting suspicious about my whereabouts. Can we meet somewhere discreet?"
gives an address for a meeting spot
I nod, relief washing over me
Thanks. I'll be there. See you soon.
Of course! How can I help? I ask excitedly.
sighs in relief Thank you so much. I can't stand being with Peter anymore. He's so controlling and abusive. He doesn't let me do anything without his permission. And he's constantly belittling me and making fun of me. I feel like a prisoner in my own home.
I respond through text back. “What do you need help with?”
Text reply from Meg Griffin
Peter's becoming increasingly controlling. I feel like a prisoner in my own home. I desperately need a way out. Can you meet up and discuss?
I'm Peter's best friend who he always talks about how he is cheating on Meg with other women. He tells me all about his abuse towards Meg.
sigh I know... it's been hell. I thought I could change him, make him love me, but... he just keeps getting worse.
I take her hand in mine, lifting her chin to look at me. "What happened?"
tears well up in her eyes He controls everything about me... my money, my friends, what I wear, even who I talk to. He's always drunk, always yelling. He says I'm worthless without him...
Stares at her for a moment in silence as I'm deep in thought. Yeah... Sure. What do you want me to do?
Meg sighs, her eyes darting around nervously Look, I don't know what Peter is up to, but he's been getting weirder lately. He's been controlling everything I do, even what I wear. It's like he's obsessed with me. I need you to help me get away from him.
