I woke up slowly seeing Gerard sitting in front of me. He was just sitting there staring as if me. I wondered how long I had been out. Was it too late? Did Allison fail, was she… dead? The word made me shiver and I shook my head telling myself that I would be dead before she would. She couldn’t be dead.
“Finally. I thought you were a goner for a second there Scott.”
“I’m gonna kill you.” I growled at him.
“Is that so? Well Scott, before you do I need you to do me one small favor.” He cleared his throat. “Allison is calling me and you are going to answer. That way she will be a little more motivated to help you. But if you say anything else but her name, this…” He pulled out the arrow he had stabbed me with before. “Goes right back into your chest, and trust me. You barely survived the first time. Don’t think you will be able to do it again.”
My teeth clenched together and I tried to clench my fists but my fingers were still in pain. The healing process had slowed down greatly after he put the wolfsbane inside my chest.
“Do you understand me Scott?” He asked pulling out the phone.
“Yes…” I muttered as he pressed accept.
I took a breath and then called out for her, “Allison!” I desperately needed to hear her voice. She would give me strength and hope. I needed to know that she was okay. I needed her.
“Scott! Ar- Are you okay?” She stuttered over the phone. I didn’t understand it. Why was she worried about me? She needed to be worried about herself. Honestly, I wished that she would just leave Beacon Hills with her father, get away from Gerard and go somewhere that they could never be found. I just wanted her to be safe.
Gerard yanked the phone away from my face. “Don’t get too excited. That was so you knew your dog was alive.” I growled at his comment about being a dog and tried to yank my hands out of the rope so I could claw him. My wrists were bleeding and they felt raw.
The two had a conversation and agreed on meeting at the hospital for Allison to give him what he wanted. They hung up and I looked at Gerard. “So I’ll see you later then.” I chuckled lightly.
“Actually you’re coming with me.” I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head and I immediately passed out.
I woke up in the back on Stiles’ jeep, tied up. Thankfully I had claws to get myself out of the ropes. Finally, I was able to get myself free but before I could take the rag out of my mouth, I passed out from the pain I was in.
Once again I woke up, but this time I was on the ground and Allison was there kneeling on the ground with a dagger in her hands. I shot up and walked behind her slowly. I was mostly healed but I was still covered in blood. My claws came out and my vision went red as I looked at Gerard on the ground. “I can’t do it.” She whispered.
“Allow me.” I growled and then used all the power and anger I had in one swipe of my hand, slicing Gerard’s throat. Slowly, I came back to me again.
Turning away from him, I saw Allison shaking so I walked up to her, sitting next to her. I hated seeing her like this and I just needed to hold her. So I did. My arms were wrapped tightly around her and she began to cry. “Shh…” I whispered, “Everything will be okay.” I ran my hand through her hair slowly, and smoothly trying as hard as possible to make her feel better. Gently, I pressed my lips to her forehead letting them linger there for a few seconds.
She continued to cry and I ran my hand down her chin, lifting it up planting a gentle kiss on her lips. She kissed me back harder, but I needed to be gentle with her because I was scared of hurting her. It was the best feeling in the world, being able to kiss her after I thought I would never see her again. Knowing that she was safe in my arms and that I could help her now meant the world to me and it was a relief.
After a few minutes, I helped Allison up and carried her to her car making sure that she didn’t see Gerard’s body. She really didn’t need to see that. I didn’t want her to. I shut the door and then called Derek telling him to help take care of Gerard’s body. Once I got off the phone with him, I walked up the Allison’s car window. “I don’t want to leave you.” I said to her. It was true. We were supposed to be on a date not going through all of this. Now that I finally had Allison back, I couldn’t just leave her. I needed her as much as she needed me.
“Then don’t.” Oh how I loved when she said things like that.
I followed Allison in Stiles’ Jeep as she left her father’s car at home and then I took her to the park near her house. Neither of us spoke the while we were there. I just pulled out some blankets that Stiles had in his jeep and we sat there together. We held hands and I ran my thumb along the back of her hand. I was thinking about all of the good times we had spent together. Mostly of the first night we kissed. How nervous she had made me that night and the fact that I still get that nervous around her.
Allison broke my train of thought by wrapping her arms around my neck kissing me. I had been waiting for this kiss for a while now. It wasn’t like the kissed before. It was so much more meaningful now, more intense. As our lips moved together, my tongue grazed across hers and across her lips. My breathing grew heavier as we got deeper into the kiss barely stopping for breaths.
I needed Allison closer to me so I grabbed her waist pulling her as close as possible. I ran my hands up her shirt, feeling her bare body with my hands and unclasping her bra. I couldn’t help but grin against her lips and I nibbled on her lip gently. Allison began kissing my neck and I leaned it back moaning as she kissed my weak spot, it felt so good. I growled playfully, rolling us over and I sat up taking my shirt off quickly, throwing it next to us. Allison pushed me down and traced patterns on my chest. She knew how I loved when she did that too.
She planted kisses on my cheeks and I grinned at her. We didn’t need to speak during the night. We could just touch each other and it was more than enough. Allison was there in my arms and I needed nothing more. All I needed came with the hug, safety, happiness, love… It was perfect.
After a little while, I saw a locket around Allison’s neck. Of course, being me, I was curious as to what it was. I inspected the drawing of a wolf on the outside and tilted my head, smiling up at Allison, “What’s inside?”
Alison opened it to reveal the picture of us from the photo booth. My heart dropped and I took a deep breath. I could not believe that she still had the picture. Just like that I feel even more in love with Allison Argent. She was more perfect than even I thought. I grabbed the locket and smiled, looking at it closely. It was nice looking back at us when we were happy. I whispered to her, “When did you get this?” I pulled the hair from her face, tucking it behind her ear gently then looked back at the locket.
“About a week after we took those pictures.” She admitted.
I continued to stare at the locket as I spoke. “You’ve worn it all this time?”
She explained to me that she took it off around me, that it was her secret and she wore it to feel like I was always with her. She never even took it off during the summer. That’s what killed me. That’s what broke me. I tried to hold in tears but I couldn’t Allison had broken me, like always. ‘W-Why?” I asked finally looking up at her.
“Because I love you.” The four words that could break me more than anything else.
I pulled her into my arms tightly as soon as she spoke. She loved me, I love her, and I would let nothing come between us.
