There is about 5000 words so if it's not edited I'm sleep deprived. Thanks for reading ily guys. <3
And I don't love anyone so be grateful.
"Where the hell were you guys?"
Yeah I was hoping not to hear that voice at least for another hour. "You guys missed all the artefacts!" She complained as she was drenched by the rain and she took her coat of still complaining and Isaac honestly wasn't bothered.
"Where the hell were you guys!" She hollered.
"Also you know how worried we were." She added on and I stopped her for a second. "Really, you were both worried."
"Nah, I wasn't." Isaac said and Evelyn gave him the death glare as me and Harry held in our laughs. "We're fine, that's all you need to know." Harry said quite relaxed.
"That wasn't the question." She said and I paused for a second to look towards Harry who shifted uncomfortably.
"We went shopping." That was the partial truth. After Harry and I cleaned up his so called home. He gave me an oversize shirt to wear and then I did some shopping.
"She's lying." Isaac immediately pointed out and I gave him a cold glare knowing he listened to my heartbeat. "Sorry, she's my girlfriend. I listen to her."
"What happened to bros before hoes!" I complained and Evelyn's jaw dropped. "I'm not a hoe!" She argued back.
"Hey stop changing the subject."
"We were, ummm-"
"Max it's fine, you don't have to make excuses. I took her to our home. Where mum was." He said kinda sounding regretful.
"Oh." She said and Isaac didn't read the room until a couple of seconds later. "Ohhhh. Oh wait, that's bad." Everyone just glared at Isaac and his late reaction. Sometimes Isaac, your slow mind doesn't help in situations like these.
"Just carry on." Isaac excused himself and I tried holding in my laugh. "Hey Isaac you wanna see the scarves I bought you?" I asked him trying to get out the room so they could talk.
"You bought me scarves." He immediately got excited and I walked away into my room as he followed.
"Where are they?" He immediately looked around and I groaned at him. "I didn't actually buy them idiot. That was to clear out the awkwardness so they could talk. Dumbass."
Yeah he really doesn't catch on early. "Hey enough with the name calling. Shit face." Isaac called back and we both just laughed it of.
"So, Evelyn.." I chimed and he immediately started grinning. "She's... it's like.... If she forced me to watch a documentary about how to make paints, I'd watch it a thousand times for her."
"Damn Lahey, I've never heard you use descriptive language since... never." I scoffed quite surprised. I'm glad she bought out the Isaac I once knew.
"I miss my family." Isaac blurted down as he sat on the bed looking up at me and I raised my eyes at him not expecting that.
"Talk to me Lahey." I said as I sat next to him comforting him. I know it was hard for him to say anything to people he didn't know for long. So if he needs to vent. I'm always going to be there for him.
"I see you and Stiles, then I see Harry and Eve, and fuck I just miss my older brother. I feel like I have no one left, I live alone. When Evelyn' s not here I feel like I'm stuck back in the freezer. It's hard not having you around. I feel like when I'm with Eve I'll just scare her of."
As soon as Isaac immediately started I let him rest his head on my shoulder.
"I know I'm not here all of the time. But Lahey, you will always fucking have me. Dude I'd come running for you... and your money." Of course I had to bring it up. Always bring something hunourous up in a crappy situation.
We both just broke out laughing and it immediately bought me back to the memory when I first talked to Isaac. Properly.
He had just tried killing Allison after lover boy locked him in the storage closet. And when me and Scott helped him out he immediately hugged his knees tightly sat on the ground.
And I sat right next to him. And he was the first person I had told about having claustrophobia and it was one of my faveourite parts of living in that town. It was the people. Even if some of them were stone cold bitches.
"What you thinking about?" Isaac asked as he lifted his head up looking at me concerned. "The time you almost killed Allison."
"Thanks to your dead boyfriend." Isaac scoffed reminding me and I rolled my eyes towards him. "Yeah he was a real dick. But admit it, you liked him towards the end."
He didn't have to admit anything, his grin gave it away. "I only liked him because he made you happy." Yeah sure, that's what we'll go with.
"You think Hansel and Grettle are done talking?" I asked Isaac and he shrugged standing up. "I don't know but the food we bought is getting cold so if they're done or not, we're going.
Isaac said before marching out, he grabbed my arm along with him pulling me and the room was quiet, and peaceful.
Which means they killed eachother!
Oh never mind they're sat on the couch talking.
"The foods getting cold!" Isaac immediately complained and Evelyn just shot him a smile. "We talked it out like five minutes ago. Your foods in the kitchen."
Evelyn pointed to the counter top and our portions of food were set out there waiting for us to eat on the couch.
"You started eating without us!" I complained along with Isaac. "You two are literally a bunch of kids." Evelyn stated and me and Isaac shot eachother smirks.
"Hey, since it's your last day tomorrow, what are we doing?" Harry asked bringing up a new topic and that was left for Isaac to answer. So I quickly ran to the kitchen and jumped next to Harry on the couch.
"Well, tomorrow it's going to be just me and Max in the morning, and then at night I'm finally letting her see the Eiffel Tower." Isaac explained to us. Oh crap, I forgot about the Eiffel Tower.
"Wait so what exactly are you guys doing in the morning?" Harry questioned looking over to Isaac. Even I didn't know what we were doing either.
"Thats between me and Max." Isaac said as he walked over with his food and all of us had curious looks on our faces.
"I wanna know." Harry said creasing his eyes at Isaac muttering his words and I nodded along.
"So do I."
➳
It was finally quiet. And late. It was two am in the morning. And it finally stopped raining. Everything was so much more peaceful at night.
And right now I was texting Scott who had been awake since it was like 5pm there. But instead of deciding to text he decides to call. Idiot.
"Hey."
"It's like two am idiot."
"Why are you whispering?"
"Because there's a cute British boy laying right next to me." I whispered as quietly as possible but honestly he could sleep through a hurricane.
"Your sleeping in the same bed as him!" Scott seemed pissed which made it even more funnier. "Yes, is there a problem with that Scotty?"
"No, no problem at all." He cleared his throat and I couldn't help but laugh. "Give me a second I'll go in the bathroom so I don't wake him up."
"Or you could... you know kick him out."
"Jelousy sounds good on you Scotty."
"I'm not jealous, I'm worried."
"Don't be, he's my friend. I've made it very clear. Did you know friends with benefits actually works out pretty well." I told him quite suprised.
"Oh yeah? How come it didn't work out between us then Max?" Scott asked and my face completley froze. Okay I've already used I'm loosing signal excuse.
I've run out of excuses!
"Max?"
"Yeah, I'm still here." Even thought I don't want to be.
"Because British boy is a complete stranger. You are my childhood friend, and your full of feelings and getting attached. I on the other hand am a heartless bitch beleive it or not."
"Your not a heartless bitch. You have a heart. Your just really bad at showing it." Scott laughed and honestly he wasn't wrong.
"Why thankyou, that makes me feel a whole lot better. So how is everyone?"
"Well Stiles is, he's Stiles. Lydia misses you even though you guys text every day. Oh and Liam, he decided to staple his own hand today because he wanted to figure out his pain tolerance." Scott filled me in on everything and I couldn't help but laugh.
"I bought you all gifts."
"Well, what's my gift?" He asked and I could hear the smile her had. "No spoilers dumbass."
"Hey is that Max?"
"Is that Brett?"
Oh shit. That's Brett, fuck that's Brett. Can I throw my phone out a window please.
"Scott what the fuck are you doing with Brett?"
"Liam had the amazing idea to have a little scrimmage. So we invited Brett and he invited some friends."
"Okay I'm gonna go poop now." Poop? That's the first thing you can think of Max. Poop!
"Handing the phone to Brett."
"Scott no I swear to god, hey Scott I swear-"
I was immediately greeted by Brett's voice.
"Hi Preppy."
"Hey idiot."
Fuck, what do I say, what do I do. What if I sound awkward? "Your gonna make this awkward Aren't you idiot?"
"I don't know what the fuck to say preppy."
"We'll we're still friends, say what you would normally say." Fuck he was so casual about it. Maybe it wasn't as much as a big deal as I made it.
Im swearing a lot right now.
"I met a dude on a plane. He turns out to be Isaacs girlfriends brother. We fucked. And now we're friends." Yep, that's the thing I'm going with.
"Yeah, IED told me that you had a 'Paris boyfriend' whatever the hell that meant." He let out a small chuckle and I laughed along. This was actually okay.
"I bought you something, it's little, but it's something."
"So you buy all your ex boyfriends things huh?" He asked me as he had a light tone and I couldn't help but smile.
"Well I only ever had one other one. He died so I thought I might cherish this one. No matter how stupid he is."
"Very funny idiot. Come back soon, I kinda like your company."
"You dork. Just admit you miss me." I chimed and I could hear him laugh.
"There's one person who misses you the most. And it isn't me." Did I know exactly who he was talking about, yes. Was I ready to admit it, no.
"Well I have one more night here. And then..." I didn't want to finish my sentence. "Your 18."
"Don't sound so heartbroken preppy. I know I'm irresistible-"
"Shut up idiot. We're gonna start the scrimmage. I'll see you back in town soon, right?"
"Right."
The phone was handed straight back over to Scott and I could hear the stupid boys yell at each other.
"I'll call you in the night, your morning. I suck at maths I'll figure it out in the morning or your night, whatever the hell the time zone is. Love you Max."
"Love you to Scotty." I ended the call and I lifted my head up to see Harry standing in the doorway. "Are you in love with him?"
Was the first thing he said. His voice all croaky, his eyes wanting to shut but that was the first thing that he could say.
"Warning please! You scared the bejerbers out of me!" I genrally think my heart left my would.
"Answer my question Alex." He said walking closer towards me.
"Huh?" I asked him taken back by his question. "Are you in love with him?" He repeated making it very clear.
"Who Scott? Oh god no. Pffft, it's Scott." I rolled my eyes acting like it was nothing. "What about the other dude?"
"Okay how much of the conversation did you hear?" I asked him and he didn't answer the question as he stood next to me.
"I'm guessing he's the ex." Harry guessed right. "Yup" I just sighed laying my head again the side of him wanting to close my eyes.
"Alex." Harry softly said as he placed his arm around me on my shoulder pulling me closer as we stared into the mirror in front of us.
"Yeah British boy?"
"It's okay if you don't want to answer." Harry said and he paused for a moment before continuing. "I'm only asking love." I didn't let him say anything else as I tugged on his hand.
"Before you say anything im stood here in a obersized shirt and underwear freezing my thighs. Let's go back in bed." I said pulling him back into the room so we could get back into our room.
"When we were having sex, you took your shirt of for a moment. And then you placed it straight back on. I was wondering if I forced you to do something you didn't want to or wether I did something to trigger a flashback or-"
God this boy was insanely cute. Insanely respectful, if any girl decides to break him I'm pulling up with my Hunter gang.
Not that I actually have one.
Oh my god I should make a Hunter gang! Best idea ever.
Oh wait back to topic.
I grasped his hand holding onto it placing my lips onto his knuckles. "You didn't do anything."
"Oh okay. Are you sure?" He asked me still not being convinced and I let out a laugh nodding.
"Switch on the lamp." I assured him and he nodded flickering on the lamp to see me properly.
"I know I come of as confident, but my body is probably one of my biggest flaws. It's sad but it's true." I then lifted up my shirt showing him the marks all over me. And then I showed him the bullet scar and the surgery scars.
"How the hell..."
"These are from when we were trying to save the town. I almost died saving my ex boyfriend by taking a bullet for him and his sister. These are a bunch of werewolves ones. This is from a bear trap, long story. I have a couple of head traumas to. Cool right?" I explained to him briefly most of the bruises and scars and he just looked astonished.
"You are one crazy idiot." That's all he could say
"Why thankyou." I take it as a compliment if anything.
"Your tattoos?" He asked pointing to them and I grinned as he pointed to the one on my rib cage. "This was for Aiden. My brother got possessed by a evil fox and that evil fox got ninjas to kill my boyfriend. I used to tease him with the nickname lover boy. I told him that night I loved him. I'll save my eight letters later. The arrow on my wrist is for Allison. Isaacs ex. She also got killed by ninjas. Same story line."
"I really have to visit this town." Harry just looked shocked by what I was telling him.
"No british boh. You do not. Please do not ever visit there. Because in that town I'm Max. And right now, I really fucking love being Alex." I told him as we were both laying under the covers at this point.
"Harry." I said as we both lay on our sides facing each other. "You have someone? You know, a girl you want to confess your eternal love to. Except from me obviously."
"Obviously." Harry played along and we both just smiled. "No, the last time I did was when I was like 14. I'm more of a one night stand person." He told me and I quite liked the one night stand thing. It was fun. And you could do what you wanted.
"If any girl breaks your respectful heart, I'm going to fucking kill them." I meant it, in the most serious way possible. I felt the tip of his cold nose against my cheek along with my lips.
"If you and the alpha dude don't get together. I'm going to give up on finding love." He told me and I couldn't help but laugh.
"Sorry but we're just friends." I told him acting like it was terrible news. "No Alex. Your my friend, your Isaacs friend. He's not your friend. Your actually...well what's the word. Nice. Even when your on the phone with him. You have this smile, and it's not one I've seen and-"
"Okay stop for a moment British boy. Scott and I will always be just friends. We even tried the secret hook up thing, it didn't workout-"
He didn't even let me finish talking!
"Why because of him or because you were scared of getting to attached to someone and then you think they're going to leave." You know what was bad, he was right.
"God no. I'm not some emotionally unstable bitch." That was also a lie.
"Except you are Alex. Your also really bad at admitting things. It's okay to tell people things. Your like soda bottle. And someone shaking it to the point where the lid is going to pop open and burst out everywhere." Damn that was a real good metaphor. Why is he right and really wise all of a sudden.
"I'm not ready for another relationship. I just got out of one which lasted, half a year. I'm not ready." Even though this seemed like an argument, not once did we raise our voices.
"Just admit you love him." Harry said in a kind of challenging voice. "I'd be lying."
"Admit it." Harry said folding his arms and at this point we were sat up. "No, I love him as a friend."
"Alex, admit it."
I glared into his eyes which were filled with humour. "I'm sleeping on the couch." I stood up about to storm of.
"Great I'll join you." Harry walked after me and I groaned out loud as I turned to push him back in the bed. "No, you stay here. I'm staying on the couch."
"Absolutely not." Harry said as he tugged on my arm pulling me back in bed. "Then let me stay in bed with you."
"Only if you stop talking about it." I compromised and he slowly nodded.
"Okay." He agreed but paused. "Just one more thing."
"What?" I cried out. "Think about the last time he kissed you." Harry said and I looked at him confused. "What?"
"Just do it Alex." He said in a pleading tone and I decided to go along with it. "Now-" he cut himself off placing his lips intop of mine and I was so taken back by it.
This dude is impulsive, crazy, and fucking perfect for someone I know. Because they contrast so much. They'd be able to influence each other on their behaviours.
Oh wait! Harry's kissing me! I immediately realised pulling myself away. "What did you feel?" He asked and I just looked at him widening my eyes.
"Dude!" That's the only thing I could say. "Alex, what did you feel?" He asked raising his brow and I let out a small sigh.
It felt like nothing.
Fine! When Scott kissed me it was different. But it's because he was my friend, right?
"Good night British boy." I said facing my back to him closing my eyes.
"You know I'm right." I could practically hear his smirk.
"Shut up."
➳
"Max! Max wake up!"
What the fuck was going on. I immediately flashed my eyes open to see Evelyn shaking me awake and next to me was Harry was just as confused.
"Blondie what the fuck!" I groaned wanting to shut my eyes but her face was all wet from tears and I was immediately alarmed.
"It's Isaac." She managed to say and I immediately raced out of bed running across the hallway as quickly as I could getting to his room which was in the other side if the apartment.
"He's locked himself in the bathroom. I can hear him crying." She was all shaky and freaking out and I ran into her bedroom and I could hear faint whimpers.
I approached the door slowly knocking my knuckle against it. "Lahey? Open the door please."
He didn't respond for a moment and I could hear his breathing increase. "Max?" He seemed confused. "Yeah, it's me. I'm here Isaac."
"No! No! No I don't want to go to the basement. I don't wanna go. I don't wanna go." He cried out for help and I looked underneath the door to see him hugging his knees as he lay on the ground.
"Isaac, your not in the freezer. Your here, with me. Your with Evelyn. Hey I'm right here Lahey. Just open the door so I can see you." I tried talking him through it but he wouldn't listen.
"I don't wanna go to the freezer!" He screamed out and I couldn't not do anything anymore. "What do we do?" Evelyn asked me and there's only one other time I'd seen him like this.
"Find fire. Anything to do with heat, find something!" I yelled and she nodded immediately rushing away.
Harry ran towards me and I had my head in my hand. He placed his hands on my shoulder comforting me.
"Break down the door." I told him bluntly and he raised his eyes at me. "What?"
"Harry break it down. He's not going to listen to us, he doesn't even know we're here right now." I told him as I paced back and forth and Harry nodded listening.
He kicked the door twice before managing to break it down and he door flew open and there lay Isaac hugging his body they way he would've done in the freezer.
He was sweating a lot. "Isaac." I tried calmly approaching but it only triggered him to turn as he glowed his eyes at me and he managed to run his claws through my upper arm and Harry instantly restrained him so he would get away from me.
"Blondie!" I yelled waiting for that flame and she came in running with a lighter and hair spray. "I couldn't find anything else." She told me and I just nodded.
"Harry close your eyes." I told him and he nodded turning his head away whilst holding Isaac back as he growled straight back at me.
"Sorry Lahey." I then prayed the hair spray along with the lighter and I managed to burn him snapping him out of it.
He looked up at us all confused not realising what happened and I slowly approached him as Harry loosened his restraint and I wiped the sweat of off his forehead with my hand.
"Thankyou." He panted out of breath as placed his hand intop of mine and I nodded and his eyes shifted to Evelyn who stood there with her hands wrapped around her stomach as she bit her lip nervous.
"I-I didn't mean to scare you Eve." Isaac tried approaching her and she couldn't say anything she just nodded as her lips were trembling.
Then his eyes traveled down and I looked over at her wrist which had been also clawed, not deeply, but it was bleeding as much as my arm.
"I didn't mean to. Eve I didn't mean to, I swear. I didn't mean to." Isaac kept on repeating his words and I get that she was shocked. She hadn't seen anything like this.
She just hid her wrist away from him and she mumbled trying to think of something to say. "It's fine." Was the words she said before she ran out.
"Crap, crap crap. What did I do?" He groaned as he placed his hands on his head ing ustratuon hiding his face.
"I don't think that's the biggest worry right now." I told him and I smiled down at his pathetic ass. He's so in love with her.
He lay his head on the bathroom tiles and I couldn't help but smile as I soaked a head towel under the cold water,
"Hey Alex, can I see that lighter for a second." Harry asked and I nodded as I searched for it in my pocket throwing him the lighter and he stared intensely at it.
"Someone should go see if she's okay." Isaac suggested looking up at me and I sighed looking down at him.
"Actually I'm pretty sure she wants to be alone right now." I told him and he just nodded listening to me and as Harry raised his eyes at me.
"How do you know? Wait that's not even my first question, how did you know what the fuck to do? I'm a werewolf and I've never seen that, ever." Harry rambled through his words and I couldn't help but grin.
"British boy, there's a lot of things we've been through that would probably want to make you go back to England. Don't question it, just go with it." I explained pretty briefly and he didn't want to know any fursther.
"Got it." He nodded but he was still staring at that damn lighter. "You okay?" I asked him and he lifted his head to look at me.
"I'm gonna go talk to Eve." He walked of and I thought it was quite weird. But I ignored it as I placed the wet towel on Isaacs head.
"You haven't told her about the freezer." I recalled and he shook his head. "Nope."
"You haven't told her about your dad." I added and he shook his head again. "Nope."
"This is a great relationship." Yes, it was the perfect example of sarcasm.
"Well I was locked in a freezer for half my childhood so you can blame me for not knowing how to socialise."
"Lahey don't you dare use the freezer excuse with me." I pointed my finger at him and we both just broke out in laughs as I sat on the bathroom ground looking down at his pale body.
"Motel California." I said and he nodded along knowing exactly what I was talking about. He inhaled wolfsbane somehow.
Isaac wasn't looking too good at all.
He then immediately sat up crawling to the toilet as he dipped his head in throwing up and I groaned. "Seriously."
"Great way to spend the last day-" his voice echo sed as his head was still dipped in from the seat and I just chuckled giving up.
"It's really hot." Isaac fanned himself as he took his shirt of off his head and I managed to view his face and his throw up was a purple black colour.
I widened my eyes and Isaac saw the shock on my face and he looked confused. I crawled towards him and I looked in the toilet to realise all he was throwing up was wolfsbane.
"It's wolfsbane." I stated and it took Isaac a second to figure it out. "Someone laced your food." I told him and he widened his eyes realising.
"Someone knows." He said and I nodded as he threw up again. "Does that mean... Harry." I quickly got up on my feet ready to sprint out before looking toward Isaac.
"Stay hear." I told Isaac and he just lifted a thumbs up whilst he was puking up again.
I ran out the room towards the kitchen to see Evelyn staring out into the distance until her eyes snapped onto me.
"How is he-"
"Where's your brother?" I asked her cutting her of straight away and she turned her head as Harry stood there drinking milk and I ran towards him.
"What's going on?" Harry asked confused and I didn't answer him as I opened his mouth checking to see if there was any wolfsbane laced around his teeth. I placed the back of my palm on his head feeling his temperature and he was fine.
"You don't feel sick? Your not hurt, or halucnating?" I flooded him with questions and he shook his head letting out a breath of a chuckle as he looked towards me like I was crazy.
"No, I'm fine." He told me and I caught Evelyn's attention. "What the hells going on?" She asked me and I looked towards her not answering.
I grabbed the biggest jug I could find filling it with water. "Give this to Isaac, say he has to drink it to flush it out of his system." I told him and Harry didn't need any explanation, he would just listen to what I say.
But before he left he placed the lighter infront of Evelyn and she widened her eyes. "Next time you go to mum. At least tell me." It was his moms lighter. Made a lot more sense on why Harry seemed confused when she had it.
"Harry wait-" Evelyn called out but he just walked of with the water in his hands heading to Isaacs room.
"Blondie, this is more important. Someone laced Isaacs food with wolfsbane. Only Isaacs, which means someone knows he's a werewolf. He's kinda in danger." I explained to her and she had no idea what the hell was going on.
"I-. Okay what do I do?" She asked me and honestly even I didn't know what to do. "For now, monitor him and watch out, that's all you can really do." I told her and she just sunk her head down low.
"I can't." She muttered and I furrowed my eyes at her. "What?"
"I can't. Not tonight, can you stay with him tonight? I just haven't ever seen him like that, he's never been like that and...I just-" She asked me rambling through her words and I raised my eyes at her understanding.
She never saw that side of him, she's freaked out. I don't blame her. "Yeah. I'll stay with him. But that means you monitor Harry, just in case."
She didn't like that idea either. God am I just everyone's therapist here. Couple drama and family drama in one conversation.
"Look Blondie, you miss your mom. We get it, even though she acts like crap you still wanna see her. It's not so hard to explain to your brother. He's very understanding." I told her as I grabbed the first aid kit handing it to her.
"Thanks, for everything." She told me and I nodded shrugging. "Im kinda used to it."
"Don't you wanna clean that up?" She asked me looking at the wound on my arm and I shrugged.
"Doesn't bug me. I'll do it later."
