I watched from where I sat; on the couch with my head pressed to Derek's chest, As Isaac stumbled in like a drunken man fresh from the bar. I raised an eyebrow at him,
"So... What could have possibly happened in a half an hour that kept you from coming home?" Derek asked as he traced shapes on my arms, I raised an eyebrow at Isaac and shifted my position slightly so I was still cuddled up with Derek but I was facing more so. Isaac blushed and looked down before looking back up at us and smirking,
"I um... I walked a girl home... She stumbled into me in the parking lot and so I walked her home." I smiled at him and sprung up from where I was sitting and I wrapped Isaac into a hug,
"Awe! My baby boy has a crushy-wushy!" Isaac gently shoved me off and shook his head making his curls flop around,
"I just met her and walked her home, with all the shit going on don't you think it's the least I could do? I mean when I met her she literally ran into me and fell on her butt, I felt bad for her! And with the alphas running around..." He shrugged his shoulders and I just let out an annoyed puff of air,
"Well then... Just take any and all excitement from the situation Isaac." I mumbled and plopped back down onto Derek's lap, "wait... So who was she?" I asked, wondering who this mystery girl was, Isaac shrugged his shoulders
"Um... I think she said it was... Jessica Blue?" I squinted my eyes in concentration, thinking who this girl was...
"Wait! Was she that girl I saw Allison talking with? I heard her say the name Jessica," Isaac shrugged once more,
"I have no idea... I was playing. If you didn't notice." He said the last part flatly and I rolled my eyes and sprawled my feet across his lap,
"Oh shut it!" I joked around before turning back to Derek and planing a kiss on his chest, he winked at me and I giggled. I heard Isaac make a gagging noise before I heard the couch squeak and him walking into his room, I rolled onto my back and rested my was in Derek's legs.
"I think it would be good for him to have someone..." I said, nervously chewing on my fingernails. Derek shrugged his shoulders,
"Well as long as it doesn't put him in danger." I groaned and rolled my eyes,
"Ok, let's drop the alpha act for just a second? And think back to teen love..." I paused for a second, "don't you want Derek to have that?" Derek looked at me and I saw his eyes were clouded over,
"I wouldn't want him to have the 'teen love' that I had..." With that he lifted my head up and stood up and gently set my head back down before turning and walking away.
"What the hell?!" I growled out, feeling utterly defeated and hopeless...
"I wouldn't bring up to much of his past if I were you..." I looked over to Peter,
"I didn't bring up anything that had to do with the fire though..." I said, sitting up and straightening my top out, Peter rolled his eyes and leaned against the door frame.
"Do you honestly think that's the only bad thing that's happened to him?" After a few moments of silence Peter must have taken that as a 'yes' because he continued, "well it's not... And I'd wait a while longer to pull out the 'teen love' card." I looked into his eyes and mentally cringed,
"Bad love life?" I basically whispered, he dipped his head down for a second before heaving a sigh and pushing away from the door frame and looking back to me,
"One way of putting it...." With that he walked away; leaving me with nothing but my thoughts. 'One way of putting it'.... What could that mean? What could possibly had happened that was so bad that Derek would just... Go all Derek on me? My irritation showed on my facial features as I angrily dug my fingernails into my palm, I stopped when I started to draw blood and I let out a groan. Really? I rolled my eyes and just walked to the kitchen and ran my hand under cold water until the wound was completely healed. I looked around the empty loft and felt just that... Empty. I decided that I needed a walk, do I scribbled down on a paper that I was going for a walk and I headed out the door, feeling grateful as soon as the cool night air hit my face.

I managed to walk all the way to an empty park, I crossed the grassy open field and sat down on the swing. Every once in a while a car would drive by or a twig would snap out in the forest... But I wasn't worried... I had my claws. I can protect myself with them. Suddenly I became very aware of the presence of someone coming up behind me, I stiffened and turned around; ready to attack. But I lowered my hand when I saw Stiles walking towards me,
"Hey Stiles," I said looking up to the clear night sky,
"Hey... Derek sent me out to find you." My eyes turned to the boy standing beside me and I looked at him with an unreadable face,
"Is that so?" I asked, no emotion showing. Stiles shrugged and plopped down on the swing next to me,
"I mean... I didn't have to... But I figured you went for a walk because you needed to think.. And now that you've thought you would want a friend to talk to?" I looked over at Stiles. Someone who had grown to be my best friend in such a short time. We both had a dangerous secret we had to keep and we both knew that if it got out... Well actually we didn't know what would happen if it got out... I presume Derek would kill someone... Literally... An then me and him would move out of the state... And depending we might take Isaac. I felt the tears build up in my eyes and I dipped my head in shame and I nodded my head, I felt arms come around me and I knew it was Stiles,
"Let it out." He whispered... So I did. I told him how I felt broken an that Derek must not be as in love with me as I thought he was... About my deep fears with the Alphas, not wanting to loose my friendship with anyone, my betrayal with Ethan, my "uncle" and all that, I talked about my mom and my dad, about how I always wanted a little sister but now I realize it was for the best, I talked about how we used to hate each other... And so much more. I just told him everything that I had been holding in. And it felt good to let it out. He held my tighter as I cried, soon started to shake... But I needed this. I needed a good cry. My chance to just let it all the fuck out! It must have been 3 hours I talked to Stiles for, and my voice was already starting to become slightly scratchy from it,
"Thank you." I finally whispered, his eyes lit up and he nodded, "I really needed that..."
"I know you did.. And so did Derek. That's why he sent me out here and not himself... But he does love you Marcey, he just... Has a harder time showing it I guess?" I nodded and rested my head on Stiles' shoulder,
"Your an amazing friend," I whispered, Stiles smiled to himself.
"I know." I laughed and slapped his chest gently, this reminded me of before I was turned... But I still wouldn't change anything... Even if I was given the chance.
~~~next day~~~
I woke up to the sun streaming through a crack in the blinds, I threw a hand over my face and let out a groan. I flipped over in the bed and I went to cuddle into Derek's side.... Only to find him not there. I sat up in bed, 100% sure my hair looked like an animal made a home In It and died, I made a weird sound that bubbled around in my throat and I threw the covers back and quietly padded to the bathroom in my short light blue fuzzy shorts that came up to the top of my thighs and my white tank top with black poka-dots all over it, My hair WAS in a ponytail, but now it looks like I stuck a fork into an electrical outlet.
"Geez... What happened to you? Survive a flash flood or something?" I shot a glare at Isaac,
"Why aren't you in school?" I shot back, feeling every irritable with the young boy. he chuckled and smirked at me,
"That doesn't matter... So are you getting in the shower?" I scratched my head and looked around at the vacant loft,
"Yeah... Hey, where is everyone?" Isaac shrugged,
"I don't know, I got up and everyone had left." I nodded and walked to the bathroom and turned the water on, slowly taking my clothes off and finding the hair tie that had previously been holding my hair all together by was now tangled in a mass of out of control hair.

Stepping out of the shower and drying my hair in a towel that I had sprayed to smell like lavender, and a different towel that smelled like vanilla. I quickly changed into the clothes I had brought; a teal loose fitting tank top with a pocket on the breast and some black high waisted shorts, clad with some black flats with a white flower on the toe. I quickly brushed my hair out and pinned it into a sock bun and attached a white bow. I smiled at my reflection and applied a dab of lipgloss on followed by mascara,
'Perfect' I thought to myself. I walked out of the bathroom with the towel in my hands an dropped it in the dirty clothes basket before going to the living room to find Isaac.
"Hey you," I said as I walked out and grabbed an apple from the fridge, turning around to find Isaac looking at me with a curious face. "Uh... Yes?" I asked, taking a wary bite from the yummy fruit in my hand.
"Why are you so dressed up?" I raised an eyebrow and looked down at my outfit,
"Uh... It's called getting dressed for the day..?" Isaac looked at me for a moment longer before walking over to the cupboard and pulling out some fruit loops and then some milk. I shook my head before walking over to the couch and watching looney toons on Netflix.
"You coming to lacrosse practice today?" Isaac asked as he sat next to me, I shook my head
" I don't think so, I asked coach for the afternoon off... I wanted to spend some time with Derek," Isaac looked at me with amusement
"Does Derek know about this?" I blushed and looks down,
"Um... Not exactly." Isaac threw his head back slightly in amusement.
"Ok then, good luck with that."
"Oh don't worry... He's defiantly coming," Isaac smirked,
"In what sense?" My mouth dropped open,
"You nasty!" I slapped his arm before turning back to the tv.
