Dreams to Reality | Stiles Stilinski

Wait in the Car

Erica and Isaac had left to try and run after Jackson, leaving Stiles and Jasmine standing there aimlessly.

Not knowing what to do and panic stricken, Stiles begins to look around rapidly, trying to form some sort of plan. Jasmine just watched him, eyes glazed over. 

"Okay. So. I'm gonna find Scott" he says before shakily reaching into his pockets and pulling out his keys. "And you-" he tosses her the keys, her barely responsive enough to catch them. "You're gonna wait in the car" he says sternly, voice still full of panic before swiftly turning, and beginning to make his way to the venue doors. 

"Stiles! Wait!" she calls after him before rushing forward. 

He sharply turns back to her as she catches up. 

"I'm not letting you go by yourself. Are you crazy?" she asks sporadically, unable to comprehend everything that just happened as well as anything going on around her. 

"And I'm not letting you come with me" Stiles says taking rapid steps closer to her and placing his hands on her shoulders to gain her full attention. 

"But Stiles-"

"Jasmine. I'm being so serious right now" he said sternly. "Go to the car. Lock yourself in and wait for me there." He gave her one last firm look before rushing off, leaving her standing there in shock, keys dangling loosely in her hand. 

Her eyes began to water as she watched him go. Her body wanted to nothing but to follow him, her right foot taking half a step forward, her left arm lifting gently and reaching out in his direction. But she didn't move.

She stayed cemented in place as party goers maneuvered their way around her body, coming in and out of the venue without a care in the world, bright smiles painted across their faces. 

She watched helplessly as Stiles' figure disappeared in the crowd, standing there for minutes, before turning and walking to the car. 

She felt defeated. She felt terrified. She felt anxious. She felt lost. She felt useless.

She opened the passenger's side of the car door before getting in and locking it behind her. And there she sat in silence, numb, waiting for Stiles to return.

Jasmine jumped at the sound of the car door opening, raising a fist and pulling it back to attack whoever came into her proximity.

"Woah, Woah" a familiar voice called out as he cautiously got in the car. 

Jasmine reached over and pulled Stiles into a tight hug, visibly relaxing.

She then pulled away and drew her arm back again before punching him in the shoulder. 

"Don't ever tell me to wait in the car again" she spoke angrily sending him a glare. 

"Ow!" Stiles called out before rubbing his arm "What did you do that-" he cut himself off as he saw her glare. "Okay, okay" he said before raising his hands in defense. "I won't do that again" 

"I was worried sick" she continued to chastised, throwing her arms around in big expressions. "And- And you just ran off. And left me there" 

"Hey, hey. I'm sorry okay?" he responded trying to end her rant. "I just didn't want you to get hurt" he said softly. "And with the kanima running around.." he trailed off. "I just couldn't risk it" 

Her eyes immediately softened at his response. 

"Okay" she responded quietly before glaring again "Just don't do again"
