In truth after I sent Stiles off to school and back to Scott, I felt more than tired to the bone as I gave both Hale men a nod before also heading off to school. And while I knew Derek wanted me there to be there for support, I knew they both had things they needed to get off their chest, and I couldn't be there for that or to hold their hands. Because if they are ever going to learn to forgive the other and move past this. Then they need to do so on their own and not drag others into otherwise it will never be truly over.

"Thought you weren't coming to school?" asked Lydia as I settled at the table in the cafeteria for breakfast.

"Yes, well I needed to stay focused on school," I answered with a brittle smile even as I refused to look where Stiles and Scott sat with Allison. "And in truth I know for a fact that you lot will keep me from doing something stupid."

"Like kicking Allison's ass?" teased Jules as she took a seat beside me while Danny and Christopher settled across from us with Jackson.

"Something like that," I said in agreement with a light laugh and shake of my head. "But she isn't worth my time and from this moment on she is blacklisted from all conversation. I refuse to allow her to even have a moment of my attention or thoughts."

"You really don't like her," said Christopher in surprise while Lydia simply nodded primly as she began to text on her phone to all of her followers. "I mean like holy shit girl you just got her blacklisted by all of the school just now."

"Who?" asked Lydia with a raised eyebrow and eyes filled with warning having him raise his hands in surrender.

"On another note I will be holding another back to school party at my house again since the last one Mars here couldn't make it to. So, you bitches had better be there to help me set up or there will be hell to pay, and you know I don't give empty threats."

"Better pack an overnight bag," agreed Jules with slumped shoulders before rolling her eyes as Jackson gave her a smirk. "Either way who cares man I have been looking forward to this party for ages and I know it will be kick ass."

"Of course, it will be," said Lydia with a roll of her eyes as she smirked. "I am the one hosting and planning it."

"Arrogant," teased Jackson as Lydia sent him a droll look. "But yeah it will be badass since I even got a hook up new popular band to come out and play for it.

Do you even know how hard that was to score on short notice?"

"Thank you for your hard work Jackson," I said seriously before bursting out laughing as he tossed a fry at my face. "But really I need to go to a party and just let loose for once without my brother or Scott ruining it."

School passed in a blur as did after school practice for Lacrosse leaving me time to head out and back toward my house, where I had a bit of hope Derek and Peter would have left my room intact, and worked out their issues. Stiles and Scott had tried on multiple occasions to catch my attention and or pull me into a conversation. Not that I let it work having kept my distance and ignored them when I couldn't get far enough away to be out of hearing range making their frustration grow.

"I am so glad my room is not destroyed," I muttered under my breath at seeing my room in one piece. "Though now I wonder where they could have gone."

My answer ended up being a slip of paper and a house or apartment key that had an address written on the paper in an unfamiliar handwriting meaning either Derek or Peter had left this for me.

Not wanting Stiles or Scott to end up cornering me at the house did I pack an overnight bag for a couple days after texting dad to let him know I was staying at Jules' place, also making sure she knew to cover for me, before taking off back to Bumblebee.

"Nice digs," I said aloud knowing that they could hear me as I arrived outside the place that looked exactly like the loft in the TV show. "Though also bit bachelor pad like for my taste as a woman."

"You seem in a better mood," commented Peter as he appeared at the lift as I headed inside after parking and locking my car. "Things go well at school?"

"That sounded way too normal and unlike you," said Derek with a small grimace before focusing on me. "And we couldn't really go back to our first home considering the Argent's are keeping a lookout for us there along with who knows how many traps."

"I know," I said with a nod even as I left my school bag, duffel of clothes, laptop bag, and purse at the kitchen counter island before looking around. "Might be best to think of adding our own protections here in case they come looking or find it."

"Already working on it," answered Peter after giving Derek a look even as well moved toward the living room area.

"So will Scott be a problem?"

"Yes," I answered without hesitation even if a part of me wanted to remain silent. "He seems to be in love with Allison Argent to the point of throwing even Stiles to the side if it meant she was happy."

"Then that will be something we need to nip in the bud," said Peter seriously eyes glowing crimson as a growl rumbled deep in his chest. "I refuse to have any loose Omega's in my territory and working with Hunters at that.

We also need to begin letting others know that the Hale Pack is once more rising and back in Beacon Hills."
