The Other McCall ▷ Stilinski

Chapter 22. Because I Love You

"So, I'm going to say this now before we go out there and I probably embarrass the hell out myself. I can't really walk in these things," I said as I gestured to my heels, Stiles had just pulled into the school parking lot.

He chuckled, "You look adorable while trying though."

I narrowed my eyes at him playfully, "Don't even go there, Stilinski."

He grinned as he hopped out of his jeep and walked over to my side, I had managed to get the door open and halfway out of the vehicle before his hands were on either side of my waist and he was helping me out the rest of the way. When he set me down on the ground I couldn't help but smile up at him, "How kind of you."

"I'd do anything for you, Kasey." He replied as he slipped his hand into mine and we started making our way into the school. I saw Jackson and Allison climbing out of his stupid Porsche, Lydia was climbing out of another Lacrosse player's car a few spots over. This was weird...

I glanced up to look at the entryway of the school, they had it decorated with balloons and lights, it looked really fancy. And then my eyes landed on my brother- who was running across the roof of the school. I sighed as I looked at Stiles, "He is something else."

Stiles looked up and laughed lightly before tightening his grip on my hand, he tugged me forwards, obviously he wanted to get in the dance. He was an impatient one, that's for sure. When we got into the dance, my eyes widened in surprise- they really went all out this year. The decorations were really cool, they had sheer pieces of cloth hanging from the ceiling with stars on it, there were tables littered throughout the gym with drinks and little decorations. There was a band playing a very upbeat song, and it was kind of perfect. Maybe tonight would be okay.

Stiles and I had been dancing with each other for maybe ten minutes now, and I was starting to get a hang of this whole wearing heels thing. I was actually enjoying myself, Stiles was being so nice to me and making me feel so comfortable and it was just all going really well. I was really having fun.

"Thank you," I said quickly as a slower song came on. Stiles' hands were on my waist and mine were draped around his shoulders, he had taken his jacket off leaving him in just his white shirt and a tye.

He rose an eyebrow, "What're you thanking me for exactly?"

"I don't know, everything I guess." I mumbled as I took a step closer to him so I could lay my head against his chest. I could already see the smile on his face as he squeezed me tighter in his hold.

"McCall! Yeah, I see you! Come here buddy!" Finstock yelled out of nowhere, I looked up to see him pushing his way through the mass of students on the dance floor- what the hell? How did he see Scott?

"It's a small gym, buddy! I'm gonna find you!" Finstock continued as he shoved past Stiles and myself. I let out a laugh as my eyes settled on Scott- who was now slow dancing with Danny. I let out a laugh as I shook my head at my brother's antics, that was actually a really good plan.

After Finstock caused a huge scene, he finally left Scott alone and went off to stand in the corner of the gym to continue to supervise again. Stiles grip on me tightened as he pulled me back against him, "I should probably thank you too."

"What do you have me to thank for? I'm kind of a mess," I admitted with a humorless laugh. I can't think of a single thing that he would be thinking me for. If anything, I've just made things more complicated for him.

He sighed in content, "You honestly have no idea the crap you help me get through... and I wish I could explain it to you- but I don't know how. I just really need you, and you're kind of always the thing that is always constant in my life and I can't ever thank you enough for that."

"Well... I need to pee... I'm sorry!" I laughed as he gave me a very confused look, but then he cracked a smile and shook his head from side to side.

"I get it, bathroom problems. I'll be here," He said as he pressed his lips to my forehead again- but that wouldn't just be enough this time.

I wrapped my arms around his neck again and pulled his face down so our lips met, and I couldn't help but feel that wonderful spark ignite in me again. Kissing him was- was indescribably perfect. I wanted to spend the rest of my life kissing him, and it was starting to really scare me that he was becoming this important to me. That he was able to make me feel things that no one else has ever been able to.

Everything started to come together in my mind; everything that didn't really make sense before but now knowing that he loves me... it all adds up. Like the first night after Scott was bit when we were going to that party and I said that I'm not like most girls, No you're not. He had replied so effortlessly- like he never had doubted it for a second. Or the time that Allison had said he didn't look at me like a sister, I had never even paid it any attention to the way he looked at me. Or when he said he liked my hair when I straightened it, he noticed when I changed things up. When he kept trying to tell me who it was that he liked- it was me!

Stiles pulled back with a smile on his face, "Why'd you do that?"

"Because I love you," I admitted. And it was true, I do love him. He's always been there, he has always been around complimenting me, helping me, talking me through things- he has always cared about me more than any other person in my life ever has. He has been the one thing in my life that I knew I could always count on.

His eyes widened considerably, "You do?"

"I do," I nodded, as I started to fumble around with his tye. I had just told him that I'm in love with him. It feels like this huge weight has been lifted off of my chest and it's so liberating.

"Well now I don't want you to leave..." He chuckled as he grabbed my hands and held them gently.

I smiled, "Nature calls! I'll be right back, I promise."

When he let go of my hands I quickly made my way through the masses of people, nearly tripping over some idiots dress- who would wear a dress that long? I grumbled curses to the girl under my breath as I made it out into the hallway. The bathroom was empty, thank the heavens. It's always so awkward peeing when other people are in the room with you.

After I did my business and washed my hands I grabbed some paper towels and dryed them as I walked back into the hallway- only to come face to face with Peter Hale. I sucked in a breath as I just gawked at him. He had his usual little smirk on his face- and the fact that he had blood all over his chin and lips made him look threatening as hell. He had on a red dress shirt with a long black trenchcoat. Oh, it all made sense now.

"When you told Scott you were going to get to someone more vulnerable... you didn't mean Allison." I said quietly, swallowing thickly as he took a step towards me. I had backed myself up into the wall, damnit. Where is everyone? Why is the hallway so empty?

He smirked, "So much smarter than your brother... maybe I bit the wrong twin." He mused as he gently stroked his hand across my cheek, I tried to flich away but his other arm shot out and he latched his death grip around my wrist.

"I'll scream- Scott's in there," I said quickly, praying that maybe that would be enough for him to leave me alone. I don't know what Peter plans on doing to me, but I have a feeling it's not going to be pretty.

"No one will hear you, Kasey." Peter snickered as he started to tug me out of the building, I tried to pull my arm out of his grip- but it was no use. I was barely able to keep up with him because of my shoes. Everything had been so perfect, and now it's all going to go down hill. He pulled me outside and for some reason- he led me all the way out onto the lacrosse fields, Lydia was laying there- blood all over.

"What did you do!?" I shrieked as I tried to get to her, Peter released me and I stumbled to the ground. Lydia appeared to be breathing- but she didn't look all that good. I crawled over to her and brushed some of the hair out of her face, "Lydia? Hey- are you alive?" I mumbled as I started to shake her.

Peter chuckled, "She's alive... now, tell me where Derek is."

"I don't know! How would I know that?!" I shouted at him, honestly why does he think I would know where the hell the Argent's are keeping his nephew. If anyone had any idea it would be Allison- why would he ask me?

He narrowed his eyes, "You're not stupid Kasey. I know you and that little boyfriend of yours have a theory,"

My heart beat picked up dramatically as he started talking about Stiles, and Peter smirked triumphantly, "Aw... you are worried about him,"

"If you can hear that- then you can hear my heart when I am telling you that I have no freaking idea where Derek is!" I snapped as I continued to try and wake Lydia up. She wasn't moving and it was starting to freak me out, is she going to be okay?

Peter jerked me up off the ground roughly- causing me to stumble and nearly snap my freaking ankle in two. "What is it with you Hale's and jerking people around! I don't know where he is, please- just let me get her help!" I pleaded as I glanced at Lydia again, her dress had blood all over it.

"Well if you don't know where he is, you are of no use to me..." He mused as he ran his hand across my cheek again. I clenched my jaw as I tried to think of a way out of this, but it was starting to dawn on me that I wasn't going to be able to get out of this. I let out a mangled scream as his claws sunk into my arm- I tried to fall to the ground to get away, but he wasn't letting me go.

Peter chuckled as his eyes turned red, "You would be such a wonderful beta...."

"No-" I tried to protest but it was cut off by another scream as something sharp- I prayed it was his claws, tore into my shoulders. It felt like he was ripping the skin off of me, and my screams continued to echo around the lacrosse field- the stadium lights seemed to get brighter and brighter, until everything in my vision just turned white. The last thing I heard before I hit the ground was Stiles' voice, screaming my name.
