Healing Love- Stiles Stilinski

Chapter Seventy- Best of Friends

Scott and Stiles stood outside the van, attempting to make up a plan to keep an eye on Jackson which worked for both of them. They knew one of them had to stay but it was undecided who, until Rosie came back from being on the phone in the jeep.

"Who was that?" Her brother asked, wondering who it was more than feeling overprotective over her.'

"Mom, I told her I stayed at Lydias last night and caught a bug so I'm not going to school today." She watched the boys look at each other for a second. "You know, my turn to keep an eye on him."

"Shit- Rosie." Blurted Scott, angered that she ahd done something without his approval, as if that was the norm.

"What?"

"That means I cant bunk school. She would know somethings up." His hands went to brush his hair backwards, out of his face.

"Well yeah. You're going to school, its just i'm not." Rosie walked past him and peered through the snippets of vision in the van, looking in at the prisoner held captive. "I'll be fine, stop worrying."

"I just- I don't really want you out here on your own, you know."

"But-" She tried but was stopped by her brother speaking once more.

"I know you can heal but he can still paralyze you, we all saw that." The two twins stood In silence, as if this silence was their way of communicating as they tried to figure out what to do now.

"I could stay." Stiles said out of the blue, making both of them look at him. He started shaking his head as he reasoned. "I mean, I'm not much In the strength department but twos better than one right?"

"See, fine." Said Rosie, before she walked back to the jeep to get some food for herself instead of Jackson. While she was out of sight, Scott looked questioning at Stiles, wondering if that was actually what he wanted.

"You sure you want to do this man?" He asked him with a low voice, making sure Rosie could not hear them. "We can figure another way, i know you-"

"Yep. Todays not about me, or her. It's about keeping an eye on a murderer who is also our friend, well someones friend." Stiles mirrored the intensity of his voice, lowering in it to be quieter. He too then began walking to the jeep but stopped before reaching Rosie and turning around. "Its for the best."

Scott didn't know how to talk what Stiles had just said. Was he referring to Rosie and his relationship being purely platonic or did he mean that him staying with her was for the best?"

"Well, i'm gonna go to school." He too had walked towards the jeep and had picked up his backpack, filled with crap for school. As they watched Scott leave, Rosie and Stiles didn't say a word and instead rendered back to what they know best at the minute, which is awkward silence.

Rosie took a seat on the front of the jeep, dangling her legs over the front like a dainty child. Whereas, Stiles was pacing through the woods, letting his thoughts in his mind come in to focus.

"I wanna go talk to him." She spoke out, ending their silence which was glued to their presence around each other. At the sound of her voice, Stiles stopped pacing and placed himself a meter away from her, in front of the jeep.

"Are you sure, i mean he was pretty rowdy when i went in there."

"Yeah, Im sure." Rosie started to slide herself off the jeep but stopped when Stiles' hands entered her close surroundings.

"Do you want some help down?"Although It was not a large height to jump down from, Rosie nodded, after an awkward moment of them staring at each other, and took his hands in hers as he helped her down off the front of the jeep.
