Ever After ☼ Derek Hale

08; it comes in waves

"I have no idea where I am," I realized. 

It seemed to be a routine; going out with Kurt and getting lost. I kicked a random stone, tired and annoyed (mostly with Kurt). My eyes were itchy and aching from all the crying and I was certain I looked horrible.

Kurt started sniffing around, crossing the road over and over, creating a zig zag. Maybe he was taking me to Peter again, or maybe he was trying to get us home (or to get me killed; still not sure if he was interested in this option).

Either way, I trusted Kurt to get me to somewhere where I would be safe, so I kept following him.

I started hearing an Ambulance siren, going to the opposite direction of where Kurt was taking me. It drove past me and Kurt lost track of the smell he was chasing for a moment, as he stared at it, hairs on his back standing as he let out a low growl.

Seconds later, he started walking again.

"You're the worst dog ever, I should've adopted that Golden Retriever." I grumbled to myself, going to stick my hand in pocket, but then realized I don't have a pocket, and instead stick it in my jacket's pocket- that was ridiculously small.

Stupid jacket and ever stupider fake pockets. I have got to find out who was the idiot responsible for that dumb idea.

"I'll take her home," a voice came to my ears, "I guess you two will be okay."

"Yeah," I heard a familiar voice says.

"Twins- Cuties?" I asked Kurt, grumbling to myself. "Seriously?"

Once I got closer, I could make out four characters. I already knew that two of them- probably- were Twins- Cuties.

"Kira!" I exclaimed happily.

"Shay!" she replied, surprised, "hold on. I wanted to give it to you at school-" she took out Death Note three- in- one, "but- obviously- you weren't there so... I didn't."

"How much did you love it?" I asked happily, expecting a very positive response and getting just that.

"I gotta say, I'd give it ten out of ten." I squeaked, hugging her.

"This is a masterpiece." I told her, holding it up. "You should read the whole thing. Or watch it."

"I will," Kira assured with a smile.

"Excuse me," Twin- Cutie #1 started. "Uh... Twins- Cuties?" I could feel my cheeks being painted in pure red. God, wasn't that embarrassing.

"Yeah..." I rooked back and forth on my feet for a moment. "I don't know your names, and I had to give you at least a nickname, so..." I cleared my throat awkwardly, glance going to the side. "Hey, you're that guy that was at Peter's place earlier." I greeted, trying to get away from Twin Cutie #2's smirk.

"Hey, you're that chick that was at Peter's place earlier," he mocked. "Do me a favour and call me Derek."

"Got it," I said, feeling awkward and looking around. "Um, so what's up? What's with the Avengers assemble in the middle of the night?"

"Wait." Kira said. "Why are you here in the middle of the night?"

"Because..." I looked up, trying to think for an excuse. "OK, I don't have a sassy comment or anything, so I'll just say that I had a fight with my parents and Bobby. And then Kurt brought me here."

"Bobby?" Twin Cutie #2 asked. "As in Coach? Bobby Finstock?"

"Yeah. He's my uncle. I though most people at school already knew we have blood relation."
