Just A Little Bit of Your Heart (Derek Hale/Young Derek Hale)

Chapter 12

After we discussed the situation, we all headed outside. Stiles got in the car he was borrowing and closed the door, putting the key in the ignition and starting the car. Scott hurried over to the car and spoke to Stiles through the window.

Derek turned to me while Scott tried to stop Stiles.

"Are you okay?" he asked, grabbing my hand and lacing our fingers together. I looked down at them and smiled to myself. It was nice to once again be able to hold his hand, to feel his touch, knowing that we were together again.

I looked back up at him and gave him a small smile. "Yeah, I'm okay. Why?"

He raised his eyebrows. "Well, I heard what you said to Theo....and what he said to you. You cared about him and he betrayed you. I know you, Ty. You're not okay."

I closed my eyes and released a breath I didn't realize I was holding.

"Okay, I'm not fine. Truth is....I'm terrified Derek. More than I have ever been in a while now. Things are slowly falling apart. We're losing people. The pack is falling apart and I don't know how long we'll be able to hold together."

A few tears slid down my cheeks, but Derek was quick to wipe them away with his thumb.

"Hey, It's gonna be okay. We're gonna get through this. We are a pack. We always find our way back to each other, no matter what. We're family." Derek said, pulling me into a hug. I wrapped my arms around his torso and layed my head on his chest.

"I love you so much Derek." I said, looking up at his face that was looking down at mine.

"I love you too, Ty. More than you'll ever know." He leaned down and gently kissed my lips before kissing my forehead and grabbing my hand. "Looks like Scott has everything under control."

Scott came over to me and Derek.

"Everything good bro?" Derek asked him. Scott looked at Stiles who was waiting in the car and then back to us.

"I don't know...but right now we have to find who ever the beast is. Stiles says its not a chimera we should be looking for. We should be looking for a missing teenager." Scott said.

"Okay there was a call a few hours ago about a sophomore from Beacon High who never came home last night." Stiles read off of his phone as we studied his investigation board in his room.

"What's his name?" I asked.

"Noah Patrick." Stiles answered.

"I know him." I said. Everyone looked at me. "I've seen him talking with Liam and Mason a couple times at his locker. I know where it is."

We got to Noah's locker after I lead them to it. I took out a couple of bobby pins from my pocket and began picking the lock. Once I heard the click sound I put the bobby pins away and smiled successfully at the others who stood dumbfounded beside me.

"What?" I said innocently.

"Do I even want to know why you know how to pick a lock?" Derek asked with a smirk on his face.

"You can find all the information you need to know about that in my record at the police station." I said, turning back to the locker.

"Wait....what? Your record? You were arrested? When? Why?" Derek asked suprised.

"Several times actually." Stiles added in. "Most of them were for either assault or breaking and entering."

"Okay, I'll have you know that those people I assaulted deserved it, Okay? You know about my anger issues." I argued.
