Thankfully my mom was able to get the rest of the day off so that she could take Allison and I home. I was so tired it was unbelievable. I couldn’t thank my mom enough for everything that she had done for me and Allison in these past couple of months, she has been such a life saver and I couldn’t have done this without her. I refused to let go of Allison’s hand so we sat in the back together. I didn’t care if she even had the slightest bit of pain, I was going to take it away no matter what, I was going to make it all go away. I love Allison and that is my job as her boyfriend, to always keep her safe and happy no matter what. So, every now and then I would start taking away her pain and it honestly didn’t hurt that badly, I was sort of numb to the pain by then. I just hoped it wasn’t hurting Allison at all, I was so worried about her.
“Scott… What if they find out it-it was me?” She asked me.
I took a deep breath because I honestly didn’t know what we would do. I knew how terrible Allison would feel knowing that EVERYONE knew about what happened to her and at the same time what if they found out about what I had done? ‘You have to be strong.’ I said to myself. “Then we’ll get through it like we’ve gotten through all of this.” I said and it was true, we had gotten through all of that together and we could go through anything together.
“How?” She looked into my eyes.
“Together.” I stated.
She reached up, pressing our lips together. I kissed her back gently and smiled, I just wanted her to feel better. She needed to know that I would be here to help her through everything and I think she was starting to.
“Melissa? Can you do me a favor? Can you please take us to Stiles’ house instead? I know I should be resting but it’s really important.” I should’ve been resting too but whatever she was thinking of was obviously important to her.
“Uhh yeah of course.” My mother smiled at us through the rear view mirror.
I looked over at Allison with a confused looked and made sure she was looking at me. “Why Stiles?”
“Because he’s the only one who can give us answers. You told me his dad was in on the case now. He probably knows a lot more than they are putting in the news.” Allison was right and knowing Stiles, he also knew EVERYTHING that was going on. I mean he was the reason I was out in the woods looking for the body the night I was bitten. I was interrupted by the obvious thought. Allison would have to tell Stiles everything and I knew more than anyone how much Allison didn’t want anyone to know and how hard this was going to be. Was she sure about it?
“But Allison… that would mean you would have to tell Stiles… about what happened.” I told her just making sure she knew what was going to have to be done. She nodded at me and honestly I was extremely surprised but at the same time she knew that I would be there, that Stiles was trustworthy and that if anything happened I would be there to make it better.
“We’re here! Scott help her out of the car.” Was my mom joking? Like I would just get out and leave her to get herself out of the car. Honestly, I thought we had established that I was not leaving her side or letting go of her hand until I couldn’t anymore. Once we were out of the car, Allison waved and my mom drove away. Slowly, we made our way to Stiles’ door and I squeezed her hand for reassurance that everything was going to be okay.
The door opened and my eyes widened as I saw Stiles standing there with just his boxers on. Of course Stiles’ would be like this in front of Allison. It was so Stiles to just answer the door in his boxers. What if it had been Lydia? He really hadn’t thought that through. “Dude put some clothes on!” I said partially because I didn’t want to be looking at that and Allison because I was… slightly scared that Allison was going to like what she saw. I don’t get jealous a lot but I was just worried that maybe-
“Really? That’s all you have to say to me after you freaking run out of here like a lunatic and show up a day later after not answering any of my calls. That’s great buddy.” He sounded like a girl. ‘Oh my god why didn’t you call me back?’ Whatever, we were here for a reason and that was all beside the point.
“I’m sorry I can explain but first go put on some clothes.” I sighed looking at him. I didn’t even want to look at Allison, what if she was staring at his chest? I shook my head to stop the thoughts.
“Hey Stiles.” Allison said to him. She didn’t even tell him to put clothes on, oh my god what was happening. ‘You’re being a paranoid idiot. That’s what’s happening.’ I said to myself and took a breath, really I had no reason to worry. Why would I feel that way?
“I just woke up. Hey Allison… wait… if you’re here it’s never good news.” Wow, Stiles. Couldn’t he just lay off the sarcasm for a tiny little bit. He groaned as we walked inside and closed the door. “My dad isn’t here he took and early shift. I’ll be down in a second.” I nodded and sighed in relief. Finally he was going to put clothes on.
I sat down on the couch with Allison and I could hear her heart pounding, honestly Stiles could’ve heard it from his room. She was so worried and I felt terrible. I looked over and that’s when I could see her started to fade away. “Allison!” I yelled at her.
She came back and then took a few steady breaths trying to calm herself.
“Sorry I-I just started over thinking. I almost passed out.” I was starting to think that maybe this wasn’t the best idea…
I pulled Allison into my arms tightly. I knew that with me here she would be able to do it, I just hoped that she knew that too. I would help explain anything she needed, I think she knew.
“What did somebody die? Why is she crying? Did Lydia die?? I swear Scott if-“ Was he really thinking about Lydia?! Allison was crying and he was only worried about Lydia? Sometimes I wished Stiles would think before he talked.
“Stiles! Nobody died. Allison needs to tell you something. It’s important so can we temporarily lose the sarcasm?”
One of the good things about Stiles was that when he knew something was wrong he was actually a really sweet and cool guy. His face went serious and I smiled slightly to thank him. Allison pulled out of my arms and took a breath. I knew she could do this. I knew it.
