Chapter one:
After season 3 episode 1
"Tattoo"
KAITLIN JONES always had a soft spot for perfect entrances, she was a swimmer, she dived head first and didn't look back. That was until now... as she stood by her blue Mini Cooper, her heart hammered in her chest. First day back. After four years, she was finally back to the town she'd always call home
Kaitlin was born and raised in beacon hills until she was twelve, and her dad moved her whole family to Boston for work. Things were good at the start, but the tide soon came in and the water crashed against the rocks, knocking down everything in its path, including her family. A lot of things can change in five years...
She sighed, shaking her head slightly as she prepared herself for her new title "new girl" god, she dreaded it but it had to happen, it happened before. everyone's new once in their life
Her hand clasped around the necklace that fell from her neck, giving it a little twirl as the triangle glistened in the sunlight. Okay, no more stalling, Kaitlin.
She shut the door of her car, swinging her bag around her shoulder and locking the small vehicle. She stared at the school ahead, pulling her phone out and looking for her locker number, she had it saved in her notes...254.
She didn't hesitate in ploughing forward, her stance and strut confident as her bag swayed with her hips, a few unfamiliar glances made her way, she ignored them. Pushing open the doors, she took in the scenery, students calmly made their way through the halls, conversing and commuting. She kept her pace, her eyes scanning the lockers for her number.
This school was a lot different than the ones in Boston. It was calmer, not to say the halls weren't busy, there was quite a few teens roaming the halls but this school was nothing compared to Fenway. Once she found the locker with her number on it, she unlocked it, pulling a few of her books from her bag out and shoving them neatly in the metal locker.
She pulls out her schedule, using a small packet of Blu-tack and sticking the paper to her locker just Incase, she had a spare on her phone anyway.
The distant sound of heels grabs Kaitlin's attention, she finishes shoving the books in, glancing to her side, knowing who would be standing next to her.
"Kaitlin freaking Jones" the strawberry blonde beams at the small brunette, who smiles widely. Her heart hammering once again
"Lydia freaking Martin" kaitlin repeats Lydia's tone before she's pulled into a bone crushing hug
When the two pull away, Lydia checks Kaitlin over, squeezing her in her arms. "Oh my god, look at you!" Kaitlin giggled, Lydia sounded like a mother "oh shush, it hasn't been that long"
Lydia gave Kaitlin a indescribable look, her brows furrowed together and her lips pursed "Kate, it's been four years"
The brunette laughed "and that's four too many" the pair of friends laugh, Kaitlin noticing the brunette that stood awkwardly beside Lydia. The strawberry blonde jumped, a lightbulb going off
"Oh, Kaitlin, this is Alison Argent, Alison this is my childhood bestie Kaitlin Jones"
"Nice to meet you" Alison greets when taking to Kaitlin who smiles "likewise" Lydia holds onto Alison's arm, returning back to her little conversation and catch up with Kaitlin
"So, since when are you back in town?"
"Only a few days, today's my first day of school"
"You've gotta tell me everything...tell us everything that happened. But now" the bell went, huh, great timing "we've gotta get to class, what do you have now?"
"Uhm" she checked inside the locker "French"
"Ms Morrell?" Kaitlin nodded, the name made her ears perk up. Alison smiling widely "Me too, let us walk you to class" She suggests to the brunette, who shuts her locker
"Lead the way"
***
Kaitlin strolled through the halls of beacon hills high school, a hall pass in her hand as she made her way to the bathroom. Her first class was going better than expected, people here were super nice and welcoming and Alison had helped her around a-lot. Turning a corner, she stops, seeing two tall brunette boys stood at a locker, they huddled together, looking as if they were spilling secrets.
She smirks, knowing exactly who they were, Stiles still wore flannels and moved skittishly while Scott listened as he ranted. The two boys looked tense, it's surprising that Kaitlin couldn't hear every word the two were sharing. She sneaks up behind Stiles, his back to her as she hid from Scott
"I don't know. Maybe I'm being a little over dramatic" Kaitlin sees her opportunity and takes it immediately, coming out from behind the pale boy and resting her elbow on his shoulder "a little? I could see you popping a vein from the bathroom"
Stiles jumps at the sudden voice, letting out a startled Yelp as his eyes go wide, Scott stands shocked, recognizing the girl immediately
"Kaitlin?!" He stares at the brunette, who grins like a fool. Scott lets out a surprised laugh as he pulls the girl into a hug, squeezing tight,
"Hey Scotty" she greets him using the nickname she had given him when they were six. When Scott pulls away, Stiles gets a good look at her face, recognizing her, she still had slightly tanned skin, with freckles dashed around her face, the same little scar the sat on her chin, she'd had it years, the story behind it foggy. He goes red, remembering who she was and how he knew her
"Oh my god, Katie" Kaitlin's heart jumps at the nickname stiles had given her when she was young, it had stuck and was only reserved to people she cared for. Kaitlin stares at Stiles, a huge grin on her face "Stilinski!" She laughs, pulling him into a hug, she lets out a startled laugh when she's pulled off her feet as he lifts her to his height.
The boys were a lot taller now, they'd always had a height difference to Kaitlin but now they towered over her easily, so it wasn't hard for Stiles to lift her. When the two pull apart she stares at the two boys for a second before sighing. Scott and Stiles had been her best friends since she could remember, her mother was friends with Claudia Stilinski and Melissa McCall, so the three were friends from a young age, she hated when she had to leave them, it hurt her and hit her hard. But she never forgot them, four years and they still held that same spot in her heart, nobody could replace them, she made friends in Boston, but it wasn't the same.
"You have no idea how much I've missed you guys" she tells the boys, Scott nods in agreement, the smile not leaving his face.
"Are you back home?" Scott questions her quietly, Kaitlin nods happily "You're stuck with me" she laughs, the two boys joining her
"How's Kodin and Tyler?" Scott questions again, shoving his hands into his pockets, Stiles crossed his arms over his chest, a large smile on his lips. Kaitlin's smile fades slightly at his words, letting out a sigh.
"Uh Kodin's good, he's not coming to school 'till tomorrow, it's his first day as a trainee nurse" Scott's eyebrows raise in surprise, Kaitlin gives him a look "I know"
"And Tyler...well, actually, Tyler passed...two years ago, he had cancer" Scott stops, his smile fading, Stiles hands fall from his chest, Guilt radiated from Scott "Kate, I'm so sorry"
She waves him off "it's ok Scott you couldn't of known" Tyler fought long, and very hard against the cancer, he'd been diagnosed a few months after they left beacon hills, it was in a bad stage and things didn't look good, when he died, a piece of Kaitlin died with him, he was her big brother, the death struck the family hard, but it inevitably brought them closer.
"I'm really sorry katie" Stiles says, reaching a hand to her arm, a solemn expression on his face.
She shakes off the emotion that built "Nows not the time for that, how have you guys been, what's been going on" she changed the subject, even though she'd be likely to know the answer
Her uncle deaton kept her updated on the news in beacon hills, everything including the supernatural, she knew everything, but now wasn't the time to tell them...not yet.
***
Later Kaitlin had arrived back home and was sitting in her kitchen waiting for the food she was making to be done
The sound of the front door opening and closing was heard through the house, Kaitlin turns her attention to Natalie Jones, her mother who drops her jacket onto the coat hanger beside the door
she walks into the kitchen "ohh something smells good"she rubs her hands together, taking a seat at the table
Kaitlin smiles "i made your favorite"
"stew?" The youngest nods and her mothers smile grows wider
things had been hard on the family since Kaitlin's father had left, her mother had been drowning in medical bills from Tyler and had been really stressed. luckily enough she had Kaitlin and Kodin who had been a massive help to her, Kaitlin took up a few shifts at a local diner called Joe's and cooked dinner for her mother and brother, who was a trainee Nurse at the hospital with his mom and helped his mother a lot
"i love you, you know that right?" Natalie moves to pull her daughter into a hug and Kaitlin laughs
***
a little while later and Kaitlin's sitting at the table with her mother, the two about to dig into their dinners when a loud bang is heard "Kodin's home" Kaitlin whispers. Natalie gives her daughter a look "how do you know"
the front door swings open, the loudness of the bang sounding through the house, a tall brunette walks in, his face was similar to Kaitlin's, freckles dashed his cheeks and his eyes were a similar colour.
"I'M HOME!"
Kaitlin gives her mother a look, Natalie laughing lightly, the twins had a special bond, they annoyed the absolute crap out of each other, but at the end of the day, Kaitlin would die for Kodin and vice versa.
"No one cares"
Kodin comes strolling into the kitchen, not looking at his sister but with a smug smirk playing on his lips. Kaitlin eyes go to his hand
His arm is held in the air beside his head, and he's... flipping her off. Kaitlin rolls her eyes, dropping her spoon "Oh how mature, Kodin "
"Oh stop, you two" Natalie hushes her two children playfully as all three are now smiling
Kodin takes his seat at the table after he grabs his bowl and a spoon and fork "so how was your first day back guys?"
"Well I met up with a few of my old friends and ran into Scott and Stiles today" Kodin states as he digs into his food, he takes a glance at Kaitlin
Kodin was also apart of the Scott, Stiles and Kaitlin group, he also had his own group of friends that he was close with, but the four were inseparable when they were young
"Yeah I saw them two, and Lydia, she introduced me to a new girl she was really nice" Kaitlin cuts in, and Kodin head snaps to her "Lydia as in like Lydia Martin?" Kodin questions a bit to quickly, Kaitlin's now the one with the smug smirk playing on her lips
"Aww Kodin are you blushinggg" She mocks her twin brother who kicks her from under the table , which only makes her burst out laughing, her mother smiling.
"I'm kidding kody calm down" her laughter dies down after a bit and the small family catch up on their day so far
Once there finished their food Kaitlin gets a text from an unknown number, eyeing it curiously she opens the message
Unknown
Hey do you wanna go for coffee?, joes is still open and their donuts are to die for
Kaitlin's eyes narrowed at the message, confusingly she sends a quick reply back
Kaitlin
Who is this?
Unknown
Oh shoot sorry should have told you who it was, ahah it's Alison.
Kaitlin
How did you get my number?
Alison
Lydia
Kaitlin
Ah I see, uhm sure who's coming?
Alison
Myself, Lydia and our two friends, Scott and Stiles we can introduce you to them
Kaitlin smirks at the message, deciding to have a little fun she texts back
Kaitlin
Sure! It'll be fun meeting new people what time?
Alison
In about an hour? We can pick you up the guys are meeting us there
Kaitlin
Okay cool see you then x
The redhead runs up the stairs and throws on a new pair of light blue denim jeans and a grey hoodie pulling her hair into a messy ponytail and grabbing her phone, she runs down stairs and jumps onto the sofa, turning on the latest episode of greys anatomy. After about half and hour kodin makes his way down the stairs. Loudly as usual
"Do you have to be so damn loud?" She calls to the brunette who ignores her
"I'm going out, you need anything?" He doesn't look at her, looking at the tv.
"Nah I'm going out soon anyway"
"Ok cool see you later" he nods and walks out the door slamming it , Kaitlin rolls her eyes and continues watching the tv until she hears a car horn.
She jumps from the couch looking out and seeing Alison's car outside her house. She turns the tv off and runs into the kitchen
"I'm going out with Lydia" she quickly tells her mom, while grabbing her keys and phone, her mother smiles and nods
"Okay have fun, don't be too late" Kaitlin gives her mom a kiss on her head and walk for the door
"Love you!" She opens the door hearing her mom say the same and walks to the car
She jumps in the back, Lydia occupying the passenger seat and giving her a warm smile
"Hey girls" she warmly greets as the girls greet her back
"So how was your first day back?" Lydia questions as they drive to joes.
"Eh it's school, but I got to catch up with some old friends" she smiles at Lydia knowingly and she returns the gesture.
After a few minutes they arrive at the nice little corner cafe called joes.
Alison finds a parking spot and they jump out of the small car, and into the building.
The trio walk up through the isle of booths, she sees Stiles, Scott and another boy not facing the girls.
As they grow closer and closer to the booth Kaitlin starts to recognize the person, oh she definitely recognizes him.
"Kodin?" She questions as the three boys including her brother turn to look at her
"Kaitlin?"
"What the hell are you doing here?" Confusion laces through her voice as Alison looks at the two curiously
"You two know each other?" She questions genuinely confused
"He's my twin brother" Kaitlin explains as she slides into the booth beside Scott and Stiles as Lydia slides in beside Kodin who smiles along with Alison
"Oh, well anyway this is Scott and stiles" the brunette continues to introduce the two boys to the girl who smiles
Scott and stiles both have confused expressions on their face but Kaitlin give them a look as if to say "just go with it"
The two boys stay quiet and Scott catches on sticking out his hand, trying his best to hide his grin
"Hi Kaitlin, I'm Scott and this is my best friend Stiles" he says, stiles stares between the two oddly along with kodin
"What the hell is going on?" He questions and stiles doesn't take his eyes off the pairs clasped hands oddly
"You just took the words out of my mouth" he says, his eyes confused
"Dude you guys know each other, why are you doing that?" Kodin questions and Kaitlin glares at him
"Wait you guys know each other too?" Alison questions, more confused than ever.
Kaitlin and Scott laugh, and Stiles... well he's just given up trying to understand his two childhood best friends.
"Kaitlin, Stiles and I grew up together." Scott explains to his ex girlfriend, after his laughter dies down
"Wait why didn't you tell me this?" The huntress questions Kaitlin curiously
"I don't know, wanted to have a mess I suppose" she smiles and Kodin rolls his eyes at his sister before a girl approaches the booth, notepad in hand
"Hi my names jade, what can I get you guys today-" the waitress locks gazes with Kaitlin and smiles "Oh hey Jones, you not working today?"
Kaitlin smiles at jade and shakes her head "nah only Thursday to Saturday"
"Oh lucky, anyway what'll it be" the group begin to order their food, Kaitlin only ordering a shake and fries.
When jade walks away, all eyes turn to Kaitlin and she sighs "I took up a few part time shifts here, to help my mom"
She quickly explains, eyeing her brother who's eyes soften
"How come?" Alison pushes, Lydia kicks her heel and Alison gasps, glaring at Lydia "shut up" Kaitlin smiles at the two
"No Lydia, it's okay really" she takes a quick glance at her brother who slightly nods to her
"My oldest brother Tyler passed a few years ago, and my moms been up to her eyeballs with bills so myself and Kodin help take care of a few things around the house" she quickly explains, Alison's eyes soften but she remains silent
"Yeah, I'm a trainee nurse at the hospital with my mom" Scott's gaze goes to Kaitlin
"Kate, Kodin told us, my moms his trainer" Kaitlin's brows raise, glancing at her brother "why didn't you tell me?" Kodin shrugs.
"I forgot" Kaitlin rolls her eyes, lightly kicking him in the shins "ow, jeez I'm sorry" the group around them laugh at the twins
A little while later the groups food arrives and they catch up, Alison getting to know more about the Jones twins.
Kaitlin looks around her at the people she surrounded herself with. Alison and Lydia laughing at something Kodin had said. While Stiles, Scott and herself had been reminiscing over they're childhood
For the first time in a while she was calm and happy. Maybe things would be smooth sailing
Oh how wrong she was
