The next morning, Megan woke up feeling much better. She was still pretty upset that her family had found out about her not-really-boyfriend, of course – who wouldn't be? But she'd managed to calm down a lot. She was even coming to terms with the fact that she was going to have to lie to her family. And really, Jake was right – what were three more people at this point? She was already lying to her friends about it anyway. Besides, if this whole thing got too out of hand, she could always tell her family they'd broken up or something. And if Jake really did stop coming around, they'd probably even believe her.
