I've just finished work at the movie store but I'm not leaving just yet as need to get MAMA, Grownups 1&2, Falling Skies, and The Heat for a movie night with Stiles. I go into the back with my headphones on full blast with radioactive by imagining dragons.
I exit the backroom to see the store blackout, light flickering and my manager Ben is nowhere to be seen." Hello Ben?"I shouted confused.
I walked to where he was last seen and stopped in my tracks and my eyes widened at the sight. My manager was dead and his throat was slashed out and ripped out.
"Can somebody help me find The Notebook?" I heard Jackson call out
"Hello? Is anybody working here?" Jackson asks again.
"Roma? You okay?" Jackson says getting closer to me.
He looked to where I was looking at and turned me around and into his chest.
"It's okay, Roma. It's me. Just hold me." Jackson says softly.
I hold Jackson for dear life and hide my face away. Suddenly growls were heard and we looked to see red eyes standing before us.
Jackson and I ducked behind a shelf, and when he peeked around the corner, the Alpha leapt in his direction, causing him to hide again.
Suddenly, the Alpha knocks over the far shelf, which causes the ones in front of it to fall like dominoes, forcing Jackson to push me out and jump aside to avoid getting hit.
He's lying face-down on the floor, I go to help him when suddenly the alpha stops me by getting in front of me making me back up against the wall.
"Stay right there," I heard it speak as he turned around to go back to Jackson and he looked at his neck before bolting as sirens were heard and we heard Lydia screaming from outside.

The door opened and Dad entered to see Jackson on the ground and me against the wall."Get him up and checked out, I got her," Dad tells the paramedics.
Dad get to my side."Hey Daddy," I smiled, "Why is it that you end up in any sort of danger, you are smiling?" Dad asks with a smile."No idea," I said with a smile. Dad nods and lifts me out as Jackson gets out.

I got checked over and got the all clear as Jackson appeared next to be checked out."Why the hell can't I just go home? I'm fine." Jackson yells. I was next to Jackson.
"I hear ya, but the EMT says you hit your head pretty hard. They just wanna make sure you don't have a concussion." Dad says."What part of 'I'm fine' are you having a problem grasping? Okay, I want to go home." Jackson yells
"And I understand that -" Dad tries to say."No, you don't understand that, which kind of blows my mind since it should be a pretty basic concept to grasp for a minimum-wage rent-a-cop like you! Okay, now, I want to go home!" Jackson yells.
I smack Jackson's chest and glare at him."Stop it, he's only making sure we're okay," I say with a look."Oh, whoa! Is that a dead body?" I hear my twin brother Stiles yell.
Dad turns around and gives Stiles a look."Stiles!"I shouted, Stiles saw me and ran to hug me, and I hugged him back."Everybody back up. Back up." Dad says.

I got home and went to my room to find Derek standing there. He ran to me nuzzled my neck and inhaled my scent whilst scent-marking me,
"I heard the alpha attacked you so I wanted to make sure that you were okay?" Derek asked." I'm okay, I promise," I say nodding.
Derek puts his hand on my cheek and I put my hand over his and lean into his embrace.
"I'm still here," I say softly." Did the alpha do anything to you?" Derek asked me." Yeah he did, "I said softly and Derek looked at me." What did he do?" Derek asked concerned for me.
"He stopped me from getting near Jackson and he said" Stay right there," before carrying on toward Jackson," I tell him.
"That's strange, it's like you're not a target for him at all, he doesn't want you to get hurt at all," Derek says with a confused look.
"He never tried to touch me or attempt to kill me. He more or less practically left me alone," I say softly.
"Do you want to stay the night with me?" I said softly. Derek slowly nods and lifts me putting me in bed and holds me in his arms. We fell asleep in one another embrace and I felt Derek's head on mine and him full-on curled around as to say I've got you.

"Just a friendly reminder that parent-teacher conferences are tonight! Students below a C-average are required to attend." I hear Harris say as I walk in with Jackson.
"I won't name you because the shame and self-disgust should be more than enough punishment." Harris comments."Has anyone seen Scott McCall?" Harris asked.
"Hey, Jackson if you need to leave early for any reason, you let me know," Harris whispers.
"Same goes for you Roma," Harris says. Jackson nodded, and I went to sit with Danny whilst Jackson sat elsewhere
"Everyone, start reading chapter nine." Harris says."Mr Stilinski, try putting the highlighter down between paragraphs. It's chemistry, not a colouring book." Mr Harris says.
I just shake my head at Stiles when he spat out his yellow marker lid."Hey, Danny can I ask you a question?" Stiles whispers."No," Danny says.
"Well, I'm going to anyway. Um, did Lydia show up in your homeroom today?" Stiles questions
"No." Danny says."Can I ask you another question?" Stiles asked."The answer's still no." Danny responds.
"Does anyone know what happened to her and Jackson last night?" Stiles wonders.
"He wouldn't tell me, and why don't you ask your sister as she's right here?"Danny points out."But he's your best friend." Stiles says.
Danny ignored him, and I just looked at Stiles with a shrug."One more question," Stiles says.
"What?" Danny says."Do you find me attractive?" Stiles asked as I stifled a laugh.
Danny doesn't answer, and Stiles leans so far over that he falls off the chair. I just laughed at Stiles who looked up and smiled at me.

Me and Stiles went to the Jeep after school and Stiles phoned Scott who finally answered."Finally! Have you been getting any of my texts?" Stiles exclaims.
"Yeah, like all 9 million of them," Scott says on the phone.
"Do you have any idea what's going on? Lydia is M.I.A., Jackson looks like he's got a time bomb inserted into his face, another random guy's dead, and you have to do something about it." Stiles rambles.
"Like what?" Scott asks on the phone.
"Something," Stiles says.
"Okay, I'll deal with it later. Left, left, left, left, left." Scott says hanging up.
Stiles just looked at me," Are you coming to Lydia's with me?" Stiles asked.
"No, I'm going to a friend's house, keep them company plus I rather not deal with Miss Drama Queen," I said.
"Where do you want me to drop you off? I'll drop you off there?" Stiles asked." The woods please?" I said with a smile. Alright fine, let's go," Stiles says.
I smiled, got into the Jeep and Stiles headed to the woods and dropped me off by the edge. Stiles leaves and I make my way through the woods towards Derek's home.
