Derek and I moved back to our families' burnt house in Beacon Hills. We came here to search for Laura. She didn't contact us and we weren't able to contact her. Everything was disconnected. Derek had become impatient, he demanded me that we need to go back home and find her. He was sure she arrived here. My guts tell me it's wrong to come back here, but I couldn't resist Derek. My relationship with him is going downhill. When Laura left, Derek had become more distanced, but he feels obliged to keep me safe. Lately, I think he doesn't see me as his girlfriend. More like a creature needed to be saved. I want to believe he thinks I'm more than that.
Derek heard the police found half a body of a woman. He followed them and discovered Laura. As much as he didn't show it, I know he was devestated. But he dealt with it differently. He picked Laura's body from the woods, hiding from the police's eye.
"What are you going to do with her body?" I asked him. Anything that can start a conversation between us...
"Bury it." He simply replied.
"Derek, you-"
"Jade... Please, let me." How can I let him do that? He shouldn't do that. I don't want him to bury her.
"Okay." I answered and walked back home. I can barely talk to him. The last thing he'll do is listen to me.

"There are two kids over there. One of them is a werewolf." Derek informed me as we were walking through the woods. I could sense that, but the look on Derek's face... I'm not fond of that. He's planning on something.
I noticed that he was picking up the pace of his walk. Oh, no. "No, Derek... Don't!" I warned him, but he was already too close to them. I got a little closer them, so I could hear. I think I saw one of them in a vision.
"What are you doing here? Huh? This is private property." He told them, walking closer to them. I rolled my eyes at his asshole attitude.
"Uh, sorry, man, we didn't know." One of the kids answered. He had a buzz cut hairstyle. I heard their heartbeats rising.
"Yeah, we were just looking for something, but... Uh, forget it. Uhm. All right, come on, I gotta get to work." The other kid with the longer hair continued. He was the werewolf, I could snese it on him. Derek threw his inhaler at him. The boy caught it, and then Derek appeared back next to me.
"You are such a mean guy." I told him. He gave me a surprised look. What's so surprising? He should've seen the way he acted. I would've been afraid too.
"What? I gave him his inhaler." He responded. Yeah, and that justifies his behavior.
"But you were an asshole."
"Fine. Sorry."
"Na uh. Don't tell me sorry." He surprised me by grabbing me by my waist to get me closer to him. Our faces were so close that our noses touched. What does he think he's doing? This isn't going to make things better. He leaned in for a kiss, but I moved my head back, stopping him. "Derek, stop. I'm angry at you."
"No, you won't be angry at me." He smiled, looking down. Who does he think he is by saying this? That's not how it works, I'm not going to turn happy with a snap of a finger just because he said that.
