A/N - formally called 'Why Do You Care'

***********************************************

Stiles POV

I decided to finally tell the pack my secret, a secret that I've been keeping to myself, not just because I know some people might not be happy about it but I also know others may be wary, I was even wary when I first discovered it, you know those types of conversations were your not sure what to say or how to say it, the several thousands doubts and ideas on how to explain go through your mind, knowing that no matter what you say someone would have something to say about it, if only it was something so small that nobody would really care about, unfortunately somebody likes to mess with my life and make it ten times harder than others

Now I'm wishing I'd kept my mouth shut, you know when you think you know someone and would say that they would have your back completely, I thought with everything we've been through together that it would make us stronger and in some ways it as but unfortunately in others it hasn't, now I don't think it has, it seems to have made the gap between us even bigger and I don't know if that would ever change, I was scared to be honest about what would happen...not even thinking it would go any other way because deep down I knew it wasn't going to go well, but I didn't want to lie anymore because I made a promise to myself that anything important I would tell them or maybe just sourwolf, and for me that is hard, I've kept a lot of my personal thoughts to myself for a long time, when my mum was sick and my dad was too busy drinking himself to death, to really take care of an eight year old, but I did because otherwise I would've lost my dad, just like I had lost my mum, even after dad got himself together I still carried on keeping secrets, sometimes I don't even know that I'm doing it until someone mentions it

Flashback Start

A few minutes ago I got a text from Derek telling me about the pack meeting tonight and I had decided that tonight was going to be the night, I would tell them because I want them to see me and know that I can be useful, instead of just being the human of the pack, I've wanted to tell them for awhile now but every time I try, something always comes up, it's been quiet for like a week so this is the perfect time to let them all know, as I'm driving up to the loft I tried to sum up all my courage because what I'm going to tell them tonight is going to change things, at first it was weird getting texts from sourwolf since for one I didn't know that he had a phone and two who put his number into my phone, the first time it happened I didn't believe it was him until he did the usual threat, only then did I know it was him, though why he was texting me in the first place was unusual but then with the way scott and mine friendship is going, I don't think you could call us friends anymore

Scott has been spending so much time with Allison lately, that it even gets awkward when we do talk, because all he ever talks about is Allison, though Scott doesn't realise that because he stays completely oblivious, sometimes I don't know if he does it on purpose or he really is that stupid, I stopped caring for Alison months ago because I could see the type of person she is but scott was like a moth to a flame, whenever she smiled or batted her eyelashes at him he was over by her in seconds, even in school it's the same, so I've been spending a lot of my time with sourwolf and Isaac -which I was surprised about- but it's nice since they are both werewolves, who can eat like an army and I love to cook, so it's a win-win situation, I shook my head gently to rid myself of the depressing thoughts because otherwise sourwolf would hone in on them before I'd even parked my jeep

When I finally got to the loft, I saw Isaac waiting outside "your not waiting for me are you pup" I called out the window chuckling when he tried to glare at me, only one person can glare at me and actually get me to shut up and that's sourwolf himself, speak of the devil here he comes now walking out the door and standing next to Isaac, when I got to them all I heard was Isaac's stomach, I groaned loudly though mentally I was happy that they both love my cooking "please tell me that you haven't been waiting for me, just to cook for you lot" I said teasingly, I rolled my eyes when they didn't say anything but I knew it truly was for that reason but I don't mind at all, if you spend a lot of time with someone you get to pick up on their habits, and with the amount of time I am here with them, stands to reason though sourwolf can be more difficult to read sometimes, probably because he's had more practise in doing it, but it does get annoying though
