"More Than Friends?"

The bright sun shines through the crappy blinds, along with small song birds chirping through the window causing Lilith to slowly wake up. She lets out a small groan as she rolls over to her side, draping her arm around where Derek fell asleep. Nothing. She slowly opens her eyes just to see she has her arm wrapped around a second pillow, and not whom she wanted to wake up to see.

"Derek?" She softly calls out, in hopes he woke up early and is in the bathroom, but she gets no response. Telling her that he left somewhere throughout the night, leaving her alone.

Now that she knows she's alone, she rolls over to where she was previously laying and smashes her face into her pillow, hurting herself in the process. A small knock comes across the room, causing her to push herself up and look behind her towards the door. When the door opens wide enough, she notices Allison standing in the doorway with her bag draped over her shoulder, and her arms full with a medium sized pink box.

"I thought you might want something better to eat than hospital food. Can I come in?" Allison says, holding up the small box. Lilith gives her a small nod. Allison walks further into her room - shutting the door behind her - she sets her bag down on one of the chairs, and the box on a small table Lilith has next to her bed. "Your mom is out there, she's calling the school I think, or maybe your dad, I'm not sure." Lilith gives her a small nod. "When's he leaving?"

"Um, he's supposed leaving tomorrow, but he'll probably stay a few extra days."

"Just to make sure you're okay?"

Lilith gives her another small nod, she places her hands on the bed and carefully pushes herself up, allowing her to lean back on the bed so she's sitting up straight. Allison picks up the pink box and opens the lid, showing her the many options of food in the box. Lilith picks the chocolate croissant.

"Scott called me last night - off a pay phone- and told me what happened, then Stiles called me, and Lydia too. All very different stories, but kinda similar. I think Imma go with Stiles' story since he was actually there with you... You and the kanima kinda fought each other?"

Lilith once again gives her a small nod.

Allison let's out a sigh of disappointment, "Okay, spill. What's wrong?"

"Where would there be something wrong?" Lilith asks.

"Nothings wrong?"

She shakes her head, "Nope... No. Nothings wrong.

Allison doesn't do or say anything more. She slowly nods her head as she looks her best friend up and down for a moment, trying to read her. She watches Lilith's eyes roam around her hospital room, allowing herself to tilt her head. She clears her throat, "There's something on your nightstand."
