Don't Let Me Go

Breakfast

"Allison... Allison I'm sorry."

I turn around and see Scott with tear stains on his face. My first instinct is that he is apologizing about last night.. I look down at his hands and I freeze. I can't breathe. I can't think. Not that. No. Please not that. No I must have seen wrong.

I slowly walk towards him hoping that I was wrong. I take a deep breath and take the crushed piece of metal in his hand. I was right. The locket. It was ruined. Damaged. Gone.

"H-How?....W-Why?" My voice shook.

I don't know why but seeing the locket in my hands in pieces felt like something broke within me. I guess it was because the locket was Scott when he himself wasn't there. Maybe it was because after last night seeing it cracked down the middle felt like it was a sign that me and Scott were broken beyond repair.

"I-I don't know. I just... I woke up and I-I didn't see you there a-and I thought I lost you and I just couldn't lose you again... I saw the locket on your dresser and it was like it was mocking me.. It brought up times where things weren't hard... When we weren't broken... I couldn't handle it.. I just I crushed it in my hand before I realized what I was doing... I'm so sorry I know what it meant to you..." Scott never took his eyes off me as he whispered.

The photo inside was intact just crumpled. I straightened it out knowing that the locket wasn't fixable and I was trying to keep what I could of it.

"It's okay." I sighed. I was devastated about losing the locket. I won't be able to read the words 'I love you to the moon and back' and I won't be able to trace the wolf or hear it comforting clicks when I was nervous. Scott wasn't thinking clearly these days. Being mad at him won't solve anything. I was going to help him and nothing not even the locket was going to stop me from doing that.

"What? Allison I know you love me but you don't have to forgive me every time I mess up. You can be mad. I want you to be mad. I've been waiting for you to realize I keep hurting you. I-"

"You do it all that time with me."

"What?" Scott looked at me with a confused look. I walk to the kitchen counter and put down the locket before turning around.

I stand in front of him and grab his hands, "You forgive me. When I almost killed Derek and his pack- you forgave me. When I told my family things I shouldn't have- you forgave me. When I broke up with you all you did was say how you knew we'd be together again and forgave me. When I-"

"Allison..." Scott sighed.

"I love you Scott McCall and I don't care if you've been doing things that I shouldn't forgive you for because I know who the real Scott McCall is. He's kind...and gentle...and... not a killer."

With every pause in my last sentence I planted a kiss on his neck. I felt his breath quicken and I could tell he was hesitant to respond to my touch. I put my hands on his cheeks and gently place my lips on his. I feel him sigh before he gently parted his lips. Our tongues met as he gave into the kiss. It wasn't rushed it was gentle and just what both of us needed. He trailed his hands down my back leaving them on my waist.

We kissed for a little longer before he pulled away and pulled me into his arms. I wrapped my arms tightly around him too.

"Time for breakfast!" Scott yelled cheerfully.

I looked at him puzzled at his sudden mood change.

"What? I'm starving and I make the best scrambled eggs! Plus I just got kissed by the love of my life after I thought I lost her I think I can be happy right now."

I laughed as he flashed his crooked smile at me before he scooped me in his arms and sat me in one of the kitchen stools. I smiled as he set out on his mission to make me breakfast.
