ARIAS POV
It was like nothing ever happened.
It felt like the longest week ever.
Me, Scott and Stiles went back to school but completely on edge.
Melody was still in the hospital but she was getting better, slowly but surely! Stiles being at school seemed pretty pointless if I'm honest, he was around sometimes; when he was he would either be on his phone throughout the lesson or day dreaming out the window not paying attention. Sometimes he wouldn't be around and we'd immediately know he would be at the hospital checking on Melody even though he would have saw her that morning.
She was stable and healing but not quite ready to come out, it sucked for her because she would argue and disagree with the doctors insisting she would need more treatment. She was healing slowly but still faster than any patient they've seen; they are obviously thinking about how incredible they are doing their job- little do they know. I would be there everyday after school making sure she was okay and check up on Stiles too, making sure he was eating enough and going home and sleeping after visiting hours were over. She was still in pain but I think the thought of knowing she had Stiles around all the time and Scott and I just a phone call away made her forget about a lot of it.
Lydia and Isaac visited sometimes but currently Isaac seems to be pretty preoccupied with new girl Malia Tate. Lydia is always around lately, almost as if she feels a sort of bond with Melody as she's showing signs of also being a banshee. We'd always catch Lydia texting Melody; covering what she's writing though always. Suspicious.
I tried to visit her alone sometimes just so we could talk but i only succeeded a handful of times, even then I would have had to ask Stiles to kindly leave the room. Dammit Stiles she's my best friend.
Currently I'm trying to mention what happened that night.
"Just before you blacked out what do you remember?" I asked, my curiosity getting the better of me. "Can we just drop it Aria?" She snapped sharply. Trying not to take her rudeness to heart I told myself that she would never mean to say anything that would hurt my feelings- I don't think.
She had already been drilled at by the police yesterday as much as Stiles and I begged for them to go easy, so I guess I'll let her off knowing that even the memories can hurt her.
" I can't really remember" she continued clearly sensing her previous comment did hurt my feelings a little. like something was preventing her from telling us. Finishing up our conversation I got up to leave, saying my goodbyes I left the room, suddenly extremely tired.
Ever since I got bit, I feel like I'm experiencing side affects or maybe it's me mentally thinking these things. I've been getting sudden dizzy spells- which come immediately after the sharp pain in my temples and these sudden lack of energy moments. Still walking down the corridor to the exit where my car was parked just outside, I still don't know why I hadn't told Scott or Derek yet. Maybe it was because I didn't want them fussing or I didn't want the attention because Melody needed all the fuss possible right now; I just persuaded not to tell anyone and worry them. We still have no idea who bit me.
I live in constant fear that I belong to someone who will one day come back and claim me. But right now I have to act like nothing happened. I'm still learning and Scott is helping me with that. It's hard, learning how to control anger spells! The claws would spring out sometimes at home when I'm speaking to my mum. Luckily I've told mum that Scott will be staying for a few days due to his mum having extremely late shifts that disrupt his sleeping pattern for school; that means Scott is there to calm me down.
I got into my car, slammed the door shut and set my route for home.

Sorry it's short and just Arias point of view! I'm working on the others. ❤️
