Til I Die

.04

There aren't many things I like in this world. Books, and well, my family. They were the only two people who never left me. My mom and Scott, and well I guess Stiles, so three. But still, I keep a tight circle. Not many people want in and if they did, I probably wouldn't let them.

It's been a week since that night in the woods, when I found out Scott was a werewolf and didn't bother to actually tell me. And exactly a week that I haven't spoken one word to Scott. We had classes together and played lacrosse games, and I still haven't said one word to him. I talk to stiles, mostly to make it clear I'm only mad at Scott. He honestly hasn't even cared much. He's too wrapped up in little miss 'my dads trying to kill you'. Which is a dumb move on his part, what kind of werewolf dates his hunters' daughter.

Moving on to school, I have tests in both AP Algebra and Chemistry, a project due for my advanced history, and a paper on French poems. Algebra, history, and chemistry were all solo work, but in French we usually have partners. Mine was always this cute but kinda shy guy, Isaac Lahey, he was on the lacrosse team but didn't play much.

We hadn't really talked about things other than class work or our other classes. For how much time we've spent together I really didn't know much about him. But he didn't know much about me either so I guess it's even. He's actually really smart, and majority of the people I get paired up with just let me do all the work and slap their name on it. But Isaac actually helps, which is so bare minimum but still, it's sweet.

We have to take our favorite English poems and translate them to French, and then translate French poems to English. We hadn't met yet for it, since it was assigned yesterday and we had practice. So today would be the first day we got to work on it. I chose to use a poem by Oscar Wilde for my English to French one, and a poem called 'Demain, des l'aube' for my French to English one. I'm pretty confident in my translating abilities but some of these words were a bit difficult.

Anytime I looked like I was struggling a bit Isaac would stop his work and try to help me. He was great in French and finished his in about thirty minutes, while I took a bit over an hour to complete mine. I don't usually admit things like this but I'm not the best when it comes to french class. It's the last period for the day and by then I've used most of my energy on the prior hours. I just don't put in enough attention to actually do my best. But, with Isaac helping me I really started to enjoy it, or maybe it was just him I was enjoying, maybe.

After me and Isaac finished up our papers we kind of just sat around and talked for a while longer. It was nice being able to talk to him for this long and there wasn't any awkward moments. We had conversations about anything, school, lacrosse, or our hobbies outside of school. I didn't talk much in the hobby area but I liked hearing his. I like pretending that my life is normal, like I have no idea that werewolves exist or the fact that my brother is currently being hunted by his girlfriends father. I mean, there's nothing I could do so I just pretend it's not happening.

Every full moon Scott does his own thing and when he comes back I help take care of him, cleaning up the slow healing wounds or getting the dirt off of him. I don't ask questions and I sure as hell don't try to go out there. I know the dangers and I know that I have no way of protecting myself. It's easier to just stay in the safety of my house than try and play hero, but seeing Scott hurt is not an easy thing. He's my brother and when he's hurt I'm hurt, I just wish there was something I could do instead of just helping him after the fact.

Derek says he'll help Scott but I don't see how him coming home every time with injuries is helping. I'm not totally out of the loop though. I know that there's an alpha out there that wants Scott. Who it is? No one knows, but they have leads I think. They let Stiles help them which is good, he's a good detective and he looks out for Scott. When I'm not around I trust Stiles to do what I would, be there for Scott no matter what. This is all new for all of us and we have to stick together to make it through.

I really want to make Emerson out of the loop for a bit until Deaton comes into the plot. It also lets me speed through the first season which i would have to spend so much time on and i don't want to😭 i just feel like season 1 was so boring so i'm trying to get it over with bc the plot of season 2 is wayyy more interesting to me. anyways that's where i'm at lol hope y'all liked this, it doesn't really have much to do with werewolves and the current events but i wanted to introduce issac and emerson's friendship.
