first love never lasts | teen wolf

Malia drove Astrid and herself to Lydia's house. Astrid still had not heard from Allison and was really worried. Was she mad at her for not showing up to their date? She was shaking the whole car ride. Could something have happened to her? The whole situation with Kinsley in the library made Astrid realise she really did love Allison and just hoped she could tell her.

They arrived at Lydia's house. Sitting on the porch couch was Allison and Lydia. Allison looked like she was upset. Probably about the date. Astrid got out of the car fast and ran to Allison who noticed her and ran to her as well. Astrid gave Allison a tight hug.

'I'm sorry.' Astrid sobbed. 'I'm really sorry.'

'It's okay.' Allison whispered. 'It's okay.'

The four girls walked inside explaining what happened. Starting with Astrid and Malia - Astrid telling Allison why she skipped out on their date and why she couldn't tell her. Malia and Lydia kept on talking downstairs, gossiping about the new kids Matteo and Kinsley then completely forgetting their conversation and moving on to food.

'Let's order pizza.' Malia did say she was hungry.

Allison and Astrid went upstairs to Lydia's room to talk privately. Astrid spoke first saying how horrible she felt for missing their date. She was so excited about it. She hated the fact that she missed it.

'Astrid, Astrid.' Allison grabbed her hands. 'It's okay. Honestly. I get it.' Astrid whipped a tear that escaped her eye. 'I actually need to talk to you.'

'What is it?'

'When I was at the spot we planned for the date, I heard someone in the bushes and I thought it was you but... it wasn't. It was some guy. Um, tall, brown hair. Vampire.' Allison sniffled. 'He said his name was Alex.' She looked directly into Astrid's eyes. 'Astrid, he wants you.'

'What- what do you mean? What did he say?'

'He knows who you are. He knew who I was. He knew about our date at that location.' He's following me? 'Astrid, he is a dangerous man. You need to stay away from him.' Astrid was speechless. Was he the figure following her? Is he the reason she had that car accident? And the night she was attacked. Was it him?

'Hey, what is it?' Asked Allison to Astrid.

'No, it's nothing.' She looked at Allison. Allison grabbed one of Astrid's hands.

'Don't worry about it. Okay? You and me, we're in this together.'

Astrid shot Allison a small smile. 'I love you.' She said.

'I love you, too.' Then they both leaned in and kissed. As they were kissing, the door to Lydia's bedroom opened, and the two girls jumped and turned their heads.

'Sorry to... interrupt but we ordered pizza and are about to watch a movie if you'd like to join us.' Allison and Astrid looked at each other. 'I'll just leave you two.' Then she left, closing the door behind her. The two girls laughed.

'I know it wasn't the best but... happy birthday.'

'It was perfect.' Allison smiled and kissed Astrid. Then the two went down stairs - holding hands - and watched a movie with Lydia and Malia and ate pizza for the rest of the night.

Astrid couldn't sleep. Maybe it was Kinsley. Maybe it was Matteo. Maybe it was Alex. Maybe it was all of it. All of the bumps and twists in the road that her life took that she never expected to happen, running on a hamster wheel in her brain without a second to stop. She laid there with Allison at her side, wide awake. She got up - trying not to move too much to wake Allison - and went downstairs. She went to the kitchen to grab herself a cup of water. She took a sip then stared out the window.
