The McCall Way

Chapter Four

I wake up screaming and four doctors come running in.

"Get off! No!" I scream as they crowd around me.

"No! Mommy!" I shriek as the try to inject me with something. I bite the nurses hand and he yells out.

"Mommy!" I scream again but then they inject me with something. My body relaxes.

"Mom?" I ask.

"Scarlet! Your mother passed away afew years ago! You're 17 years old!" A doctor says.

"Dead?" I ask and look around. Its like i awoke from a nightmare just to continue living in one i desperately want to escape.

"Im sorry!" She says.

I roll onto my side and hug my knees to my chest.

"I want to go home!" I whisper.

"Im afraid we cant do that yet!" She says.

"Why?" I say as i stare at the wall. I blink and i see Kate Argents dead body.

"You are suffering severely with PTSD and until we know how to treat it for you, we cant do anything!" She says. I pretend to fall asleep so then i can fake waking up so they think im okay! I dont want to be here! I just pretend to be asleep for afew hours but really my mind is trying to put the events from last week together. I dont understand it! Why hasnt any of my friends come to see me? Am i too far gone to be helped? I dont think so! I miss my brother but i think he is embarrassed of me! I would wonder where Stiles is but word has it that Lydia is here too! Scott is probably fucking that crazy bitch Allison! God! I never wanted to beat up a bitch more in my life! She fucking shot me! I shouldnt be here! I wouldnt be here if it werent for her and her crazy Aunt. I sit up and yawn. I almost fell asleep! I cant do that! No way! Melissa walks in.

"Saw you bit a nurse! Was gonna come nake jokes bout it but you were asleep! Did you just wake up?" She asks. I nod. She smiles.

"Amazing! Listen! I know you want to go home but i was thinking, you could come home with me so i could monitor your activity!" She says.

"I want Derek!" I say. She looks at me.

"Who?" She asks.

"Just get me out of here?" I ask. She smiles and nods.

"We got meds for you! Ill collect them on the way home!" She says and grabs her bag. I grab my small bag of things and Melissa discharges me.

"Thank you!" I say.

"Its hard to get better when you're surrounded in sick people and people you dont know all day!" She smiles.

"You think ill be better before summer?" I ask.

"Of course!" She smiles. I sit in her car and i see two red dots in the distance. Its pitch black out. I stare at them. It looks as if they blink! Is that Peter? I thought he was dead! I dont know but i just stare at them until Melissa starts to drive. When we get back to the McCall house i get out of the car. I look around to see if i can see any sign of the red eyes.

"You okay?" She asks.

"Mhm!" I nod and limp inside. She brings me to the guest room and says that Scott is gone out. I nod and she leaves me be. I look in the mirror. My skin is slightly paler then usual, and i have dark bags under my eyes. I tie up my short hair in a messy bun. I hear a gentle tap on the window and i look over. I see Dereks face and i go over. I open the window and he climbs in quietly. I hug him and he hugs me back.

"Hey!" He whispers and lifts me up. I wrap my legs around his waist and i hug my arms around his neck. I burry my face into his shoulder and he closes the window. He goes over and sits on the bed.
