Hayley McCall The Last Labonair

Chapter Ten: Co-Captain

We win the game and the team goes in the locker room yelling and celebrating. "Stiles. Stiles! Has anyone seen Stiles? Stiles! Has anyone seen Stiles?" Scott asked and him and Allison bump into each other. "Uh, you were - pretty awesome out there." Allison said "Thanks. You too. I mean - that's not what I meant." Scott said "No, no, I - did some pretty awesome cheering. You can thank me." Allison said "You did?" Scott asked "Totally. I went from, "go, team, go, to "defense, defense," without a - a breath. I brought my A game." Allison said and Brian got in between Scott and Allison. "State, state, state, state -" Brian said before he walks away because of the look Scott was giving him. I see Allison being walked out the room by Chris.

Jackson walks over to us. "Oh, isn't that just heartbreaking? Gosh, I bet it causes a lot of sleepless nights. You know what, though, McCall? I actually sympathize, which is why I'm gonna make this mutually beneficial. You give me what I want - and, uh, I'll help you get her back." Jackson said "What?" Scott asked "Well, three days makes it just in time for the winter formal. Uh, think about you taking her instead of me. And also think about all the things you' have to do to get her out of some tight little dress by the end of the night. See how this could work out for everybody? Three days, McCall. Have fun." Jackson said as he hits Scott on the face. "I'm going to go change and everything then I'll meet you in the locker room." I say and Scott nods.

I walk back into the locker room as Scott walks back to his locker. I sit on the bench before laying back staring at the ceiling waiting on Scott. "By the way, McCall - Apology accepted." Danny said "I didn't apologize." Scott said "Every time you got the ball tonight, you passed it to me." Danny said "Every time I passed the ball to you, you scored." Scott said "Apology accepted." Danny said and I hear him walk out. Scott grabs his spray when the lights go out and I sit up. Scot puts the cap back on the spray and sits it back in his locker.

"Danny?" Scott starts walking so I follow behind him. He tries to turn the lights back on but they don't turn on. A ball rolls across the floor. "What the hell -" Scott grabs the ball and we turn the corner and I see Derek. But I also feel another presence near us. "Thank God! Where the hell have you been? Do you have any idea what's been going on?" Scott asked as he walks closer to Derek. The other person takes that opportunity to step out from beside the locker. "I really don't get Lacrosse." Peter said which causes me to back up away from him. "It was you -" Scott said "When I was in high school, we played basketball. There's a real sport. Still, I read somewhere that Lacrosse comes from native Americans tribes and that they played it to resolve conflict. I have that right? Hm. I have l little conflict of my own to resolve, Scott. But I need your help to do it." Peter said "I'm not helping you kill people." Scott said "Well, I don't want to kill all of them. Just the responsible ones. And that doesn't have to include -" Peter said before looking at Derek.

"Allison." Derek said "You're on his side? Are you forgetting the part where he killed your sister?" Scott asked "It was a mistake." Derek said "What?" Scott and I ask in sync. "It happens." Derek said "The hell?" I ask "Scott - I think you're getting the wrong impression of us. We really just want to help you reach your full potential." Peter alas "By killing my friends." Scott said "Sometimes the people closest to you - can be the ones holding you back the most." Peter said "If they're holding me back from becoming a psychotic nut job like you, I'm okay with that." Scott said and Peter walks closer to Scott which makes me start to walk forward but Derek grabs my arm stopping me. "Maybe - you could try and see things - from my perspective." Peter said stabbing Scott in the back of the neck with his claws. Peter walks away and Scott falls to the ground. Derek let's me go so I rush over to Scott.

Scott and I are sitting on the bench when Stiles comes running. "Dude, we have a huge problem." Stiles said "Trust me - we know." Scott said
