Brett

Explanations

"Can I tell you something?" I asked Scott as we sat on the couch and waited for everyone to get here. He looked over at me and nodded. "I'm nervous." I whispered and he gave me an encouraging smile.

"It'll all be okay. Just do whatever makes you comftorable. All you have to do is talk to him. You don't have to get back with him if you don't want to, but I feel like you should forgive him atleast." He shrugs. "He was trying to keep you safe." I nod and look down at my lap as I fiddled with my fingers. A knock erupts on the door and my head shoots up and I look at Scott with wide eyes. He puts his hands out telling me to calm down. He stands up and goes to the front door. I shift nervously in my seat and Scott comes back a couple minutes later with Stiles and Brett following behind him.

My heart beat quickens and Brett heard it. His head shot up and he looked up at me and gave me a look of sympathy. Stiles sits next to me, knowing I didn't want to sit next to Brett. Scott and Brett sat across from us on the couch. Scott sighs and leans forward, putting his elbows on his knees and he clasped his hands together and leaned his forehead against them.

"Who's going to speak up first?" Scott asks and Stiles sits forward and puts his hand up but Scott stops him. "Anyone but Stiles." Scott says and Stiles growled sitting back in his seat. I stared at Scott and raised an eyebrow. "I guess I will." Scott says, sitting up straight. "Today Brett came to Addie's volleyball practice and he explained something to me and I think that everyone should hear about, know about, and take into consideration that what he did was to protect Addie."

"Wait! So cheating was supposed-" Stiles began but Scott interupted him. Stiles was pissed, and I didn't blame him but he needed to hear the story just like I did.

"Quiet Stiles, I wasn't finished." Scott cuts him off. Stiles leans back in his seat once again and sends Brett glares.

I nudged my elbow into him and his head slowly turned towards me as he ripped his gaze from Brett to me. I shook my head which made him sigh then look at Scott again.

"Brett has been being followed by the people that took Addie and almost killed her. They're called The Doctors. They threatened Brett that if he didn't stay away from Addie that they'd take her again and this time succeed in their little experiments. He told them that she meant nothing to him and they said prove it. So that's when he did what he did. He did everything that happened to protect Addilyn. We have to get the group together, let them know, and never ever let her out of our sight because they will come and they will take her, then she'll be dead." Scott says sternly. "I can't lose her, neither can you, or you Stiles." He points to Brett then Stiles. Stiles' jaw clenched and he looked over at Brett.

"Why should we believe him?" Stiles asks and I slap his arm giving him the look to stop.

"Because this is my sisters life, your best friend, and his girlfriend or whatever's life in danger! Do you want something to happen to her and know that we knew and we could've fought to keep her safe but we didn't because he did something stupid and we thought he lied about one big thing so we thought he lied about this too? I'm not taking that chance Stiles." Scott raises his voice.

"Okay, both of you need to take deep breaths and calm the hell down. Getting all riled up about someone not believing the other isn't on point!" I stepped in. "Stiles, you need to listen, I believe him okay? Why would he lie about something like this? He would never do that to you, Scott, or anyone else."

"Yeah, well you thought he wasn't going to cheat on you either, but he did!" Stiles exclaims.

"Enough!" I yelled. "Stiles, if you're not going to believe any of us about this the you need to just leave. If I come up missing or dead at your doorstep one day because they didn't have enough help fighting, when they needed one more person, which could've been you, I don't want you to feel like complete shit because you brought this upon yourself! If you would've just listened and stuck by your best friends side then maybe I would still be alive!" I yelled. "You need to just shut the hell up and listen because he's telling the truth." My heart beat was fast as I stared at Stiles and he stared at me. He licked his lips, then looked down at him lap shaking his head.

"Fine." He sighs and leans back. I huff out a breath and look at the two boys sitting across from us on the couch. "What do we have to do?" He asks.

"We've got to tell the others. Our security has to become tighter, there's enough room for everyone to stay here but everyone has to stay together at all times. The reason why they wanted to separate Brett and Addie because it was one less person they had to fight and deal with to get to her. Starting tomorrow, we have two extra people staying in the spare room, and we rotate schedules." Scott explains and we all nod. "I have to make some phone calls." He says then gets up.

"I'm gonna head home." Stiles says and I nod. He gets up and walks out the front door leaving Brett and I alone together. I stood up and stretched. I go to walk out of the room but a hand grabs my wrist and pulls me towards them.

"You understand that I did everything to keep you safe right?" Brett asks and I nod. "Addilyn, I swear I would never do something like that just because. I love you and I need you to understand that I did what I did because I wanted to keep you safe. That's all I ever wanted since I met you. I need you to be safe Addilyn. I love you and I can't lose you." He says weakly and I look up at him and he had tears in his eyes.

"It's alright, I understand, and I forgive you." I replied making him engulf me in a hug. My neck began to feel wet from his tears and I tried to keep myself from crying. "It'll be okay, we're going to be okay." I mumbled into his neck. I rubbed my fingertips on the back of his neck trying to calm his cries. He eventually stopped and pulled away.

"I need to know something." His voice was weak. Weaker than I've ever heard him talk before and I knew he was really upset.

"Okay, what is it?" I asked him, my arms going from behind his neck, down his shoulders, than his biceps and to his hands. They were incredibly bigger than mine and I was amazed by how big they were.

"We-we're going to get back together right? I can't do this without you, I need you Addilyn." He whispers and I look into his eyes.

"I need you too." I mumbled and he smiled down at me. He pulled me into a hug, I wrapped my arms around his torso and his right hand went to the back of my head then his left arm wrapped around my waist.

"Does this mean we're back together?" He mutters.

"What the hell else would it mean?" I asked not moving from my spot. He chuckled while I smiled and kissed the top of my head.

"I love you." He lays his cheek on my head.

"I love you too."
