DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN TEEN WOLF

CHAPTER TWELVE

Matt and I ran into Scott on the way out.

"Why isn't Scott already at his house?"

"Uh- He's got detention, Stiles, and the rest are there, though." Matt nodded staring down at his camera for a second.

"Hey McCall" he called.

For a second, I was worried he was gonna ask Scott about it but he just took a picture of him instead. Scott looked confused. Well, that made two of us.

"Thanks." He said.

We started walking again.

"What was that all about?"

"Just testing my camera. I thought something was off with it at the game, but it happened here too. What the hell is going on with McCall's eyes?" He showed me a picture.

It looked like Scott's eyes had been replaced with flashlights.

"Oh, that's just his contacts."

"Contacts? I wear contacts and it doesn't make me look like I have a laser beams shooting out of them." Matt countered.

"He's got astigmatism"

God, I hope Matt didn't have one of those.

"And that causes headlight eyes?"

Matt raised his eyebrows.

"Yes?" He didn't ask anything after that and I stayed quiet. We trudged through the rows of parked cars till we came to Matt's corolla.

"So" Matt started as we got into the car.

"So," I said

"The fugitive life doesn't seem to have uh- suited your boyfriend-"

"He's not my-" I couldn't say it. "I'm not sure what he is right now."

"Psychotic would be my guess," Matt said sarcastically.

I glared at him.

"He's, had a rough few weeks-" Why was I defending him?

"Okay, I get it, It's complicated. Consider the subject dropped. I just" he reached for my hand, but since it was my cast side I pulled away and he looked at me.

"Sorry it's uh- still really sensitive," I said motioning to my cast he nodded.

"What I was saying was, I just don't want you to get hurt and Lahey, well he seems like a ticking time bomb."

We had turned onto Scott's street now.

"Isaac wouldn't hurt me," I told him.

I had just accused him of the same thing earlier, but I didn't like Matt saying it.

"Scott's house is right there on the left," I told him, I noticed a black Camaro parked across the street.

"You know actually, here is fine," I said.

Matt stared at me.

"What are you talking about there's a whole block between us and the house," Matt said, I was already taking my seatbelt off.

"I know I just need some-uh air."

He slowed to a stop but locked the door. I started to panic a little, I had to get to Scott's and something about that just struck me as... creepy.

"Look Charlie if it's what I said about Isaac-"

"It's not" I smiled at him.

Matt didn't believe me, it was probably a mistake- it was definitely a mistake, but I didn't have another option. I put my good hand on his.
