5. Secrets Within

I don't know exactly what happened yesterday, I'm still trying to process it all actually. Isaac's dad is an actual piece of crap for treating Isaac like a punching bag while I stabbed him. I actually stabbed Mr. Lahey, I mean I used to go to their house all the time before. I don't know what came over me, I remember feeling angry before everything happened. 

I think the effects of Peter biting me are doing a lot more than I care to admit. 

I sighed to myself, crossing my legs while texting Stiles on my phone. After calling Stiles yesterday to take me home from Isaac's, I hadn't been able to sleep. I don't know what's wrong with me, maybe it's nerves. I told Stiles what i saw, how Isaac healed right in front of me and how Isaac's dad grabbed me and pushed me. Of course, Stiles defended me and said I was protecting myself so I had no choice. 

But we always have a choice. 

I just couldn't shake this weird feeling I had. I felt angry and anxious but I guess it's just nerves. I hope it's nerves. 

I was texting Stiles, telling him I was okay so he wouldn't worry so much about me before hearing a knock on my door. "Come on.." I shouted, setting my phone down and straightening up to see dad coming through the door. 

"How you feeling sweetie?" Dad asked me while sitting on the edge of my bed. I shrugged my shoulders and played with the ends of my hair. "You sure you're feeling okay baby girl? I mean, you don't look like you're okay and I can understand after what happened yesterday and the past couple of days..You look like you took a nasty fall yesterday..-" 

"..-I'm fine, dad.. Really. I just-I don't want to sit around and do nothing. I need more training or something. Besides, it's barley a bruise.." I argued, trying to make him not worry about me either. I know I should have told dad what happened last night but I didn't know how without revealing everything. I thought it would be best if dad didn't know anything about the supernatural, after all, I just want to keep him safe. I'd die if anything happened to him, Stiles and Scott and him are the only family I have left. 

Anyhow, when I came home, I told dad that I had tripped and fell while walking home. He didn't seem to buy it at first but he gave me an iced pack and tell me I needed to stop wearing such high heels. I couldn't help but laugh before telling him I'd be more careful next time. 

"Okay, if you're sure sweetheart. I'm about to head to work so if you need anything, just call and I'll race over." Dad said. I nodded my head, thanking him before giving him a hug and a kiss goodbye on the cheek. I smiled and waved bye to him before getting up to start getting ready for school. 

I thought about taking a sick day after last night but I didn't want to miss anything. After all, Stiles might convince Scott to do something incredibly stupid that could get both of them in trouble. 

I took a shower before getting ready, putting some makeup on to help cover up the bags under my eyes that would let everyone know I was either a drug user or didn't get much sleep. As I was finished the last touches on my hair, I heard my phone ringing. I smiled at the ringtone, noting it as Stiles before smiling down at the picture that appeared on my screen.
