Brett

Practice

Work has been easy. I started Monday and I've been doing well. Brad gradually gave me more and more to do throughout the week as he taught me new things everyday, but he made sure I understood what he had taught me before. I went from asking people if they needed help finding any new music, to working the cash register then putting cd's on the shelves.

Hanging around the group was becoming easier. Once everyone found out they were pissed, especially Stiles and Skylar. They both wanted to go straight to his house and beat the shit out of him but once Scott spoke up and told everyone, including me, what he did they were satisfied but they still wanted him to feel the pain that I had felt. I wasn't upset with Scott for what he did, but I wasn't happy either. Brett got what he deserved, I just wish Scott would've done it in a less violent way.

School hasn't been easy. Seeing him at school everyday wasn't really the highlight of my day like it used to be. It was now the worst part. He's been alone a lot lately while he's at school but when I stay with Stiles after school to watch Scott practice he's with some guys on the team. I wasn't happy with him but I guess I liked going to watch Brett practice too. I also decided that I was going to try out for the volleyball team. I went to tryouts and got on the team. I honestly didn't understand how, but I was glad I did. I had started looking at colleges and saw that if I was on a sports team at school and if I was good then I could possibly get a scholarship. I needed that scholarship for college and I didn't care what sport it was.

"Scott?" I called as I ran after him in the hallway.

"What?" He stops and turns around.

"Uhm, do you have practice today?" I asked rubbing my hands together. He shook his head and I frowned.

"Why?"

"If you did, I was gonna get a ride home because I have practice too. It's okay though, I'll figure something out." I shook my head.

"No, it's okay. I'll stay. I want to watch." He says smiling and I grin.

"Okay, thank you so much!" I hugged him. "I'm gonna go to the locker room. Practice starts in 10 minutes." I explained. He nodded and I ran off to the locker room. I quickly changed and brushed my hair into a high ponytail.

A little while later, we walked into the gym and began practice. Scott sat in the bleachers as he worked on a paper, but once he was done he watched us practice. The gym door opened and closed but I didn't look back as to who came in. I saw Scott stand up in the corner of my eye, and from the look on his face, he wasn't happened.

We continued to hit the ball back and forth to each other to work on our aim while others worked on serving. I hit the ball with my fists and it flew across to my partner Brenda. She hit it back but not hard enough so I shot forward and hit it back to her.

"Good work Addilyn!" Coach yelled and I smiled at her then kept hitting the ball.

I saw Scott come back and sit where he was before and he looked worried. I looked over at him and he sent me a smile. We switched and began working on serving.

I put the ball in my left hand and balled my right fist and hit the ball sending it across the net. Brenda caught it and did the same thing.

Practice was finally over and I walked out of the locker room with my stuff in my hand. Scott smiled softly at me and I returned it. We walked to his car in silence and I was curious as to why he hadn't said anything.

"What's wrong?" I asked as we both got in the car. He backed out and kept his eyes on the road not answering my question. "Scott." I said sternly and he looked at me.

"What?"

"What's wrong?" I asked but he shook his head.

"It's nothing." He says quietly but I knew better than that.

"I know you Scott. Something's bothering you, what happened to 'we can always talk to each other about everything'?" I questioned keeping my eyes on him.

"I-I don't want you to be scared." He says quietly.

"Well, if it's something important would you rather me know now and be prepared or when that important things happen, me not know and not be able to do anything?" I questioned and he sighed deeply.

"I hate when you explain shit." He mumbles and a small smirk fell upon my lips. He sighs again and runs his hand through his hair. "Today while you were practicing, Brett showed up." He says and I furrowed my eyebrows. "He explained to me, what happened and why he did what he did." Scott stops at a red light but still doesn't look at me. "The people that were after you, they're called The Doctors. There's more of them and they told Brett that if he didn't stay away from you, then they'd come and take you. So to get them to not get you, he told them that you meant nothing to him and they told him to prove it. So that's when he did what he did." He explains. "He's just trying to keep you safe Add's. That's why he ignored you, that's why he ditched you, and that's why he did what he did with that girl. It was all for you Add's." He says to me.

"How do you know he's telling the truth?" I questioned.

"I could feel it. The look in his told me he was telling to truth to. You've got to believe him Add's, I do." Scott says and I turn to look and he was already looking at me. He had pleading eyes and I knew he was telling the truth.

"Alright," I said. "Call him over. Call Stiles too." I mumbled and he nodded and grabs his phone.
