Nothing is as It Seems (Wattys 2016)

Chapter 19

Casey's POV

                 I tried so hard to keep my dignity in tact, but it was very hard considering the situation. Theo left the room after his need were satisfied. I could not believe what i had gotten myself into. How could I have been so stupid? I know Stuart went and told everyone about my situation, if that's what you would call it. They all probably think I am a slut, and that I deserve this. They are probably right. 

               I betrayed them thinking it would be so much better. I thought maybe I would be seen, and I have been seen here just not the way I would want to be. Well on the bright side I was the first Stilinski child to lose their virginity. That's not the bright side. I have a problem I try to see the bright side even if there isn't one. 

              Stiles and Stuart probably don't even care that I am in this situation. I don't know what to do anymore. Do I just sit here and let it keep happening, or do I try and run, but where would I go. Stiles and Stuart hate me now, and I don't think any other pack member is my biggest fan right now. I guess I could wait this out and see if Theo will always be like this. Yeah, that's what I am going to do. 

Stiles' POV

             I had no idea what to do with this new information. I still did not understand one bit of it, and I don't think I will until Casey explains it herself. I got up from Derek's warm embrace and announced that I needed some air. I walked out the door and down the stairs to my freedom also known as the fresh air, I so much deserved. I sat on the curb, just enjoying the simpleness of the breeze and the swaying of the trees brought me peace for some reason. 

             I felt someone sit next to me, and I didn't need someone to tell me it was Derek. I leaned my head on his shoulder. I closed my eyes just taking in his scent. It was very comforting, and I just wanted to sit here forever even tho I knew I couldn't. I had to be strong for Stuart I could tell he was falling apart, but who wouldn't be after seeing your sister being brutally beaten.

         I looked up at Derek, and I tried to be strong. I just couldn't do it anymore. I broke down not really knowing what else to do. The tears just fell, and I could feel Derek's calloused fingers wipe away my tears. They still were not going away, so instead Derek just wrapped me up in his strong arms. I just cried it all out not really knowing what to say. 

           I finally composed myself enough to look at Derek and be able to actually see him clear enough. I looked into his eyes and leaned forward tilting my head up so, I could lean forward and kiss him. His lips were slightly chapped as there always were, but there were soft in a way. This was a very passionate kiss perhaps the most passionate we have shared. I could only whisper five meaningful words. 

         "Thank you, I love you."

           "There's no need to thank me. It's what I am here for. I love you more, and don't you argue." he said sporting the smile he reserved for me. 

              "How was I so lucky to get a sappy, handsome sourwolf." Derek just scowled at me. "What do we do now."

              "We are going to go to Theo's hideout, Stuart seems to remember where it is. We are going to rescue your sister and see what is really happening, but I want you to stay outside the hideout with Stuart. He is too traumatized to go back in there, which I do not blame him tho."

             "Okay no problem. I don't really want to go in either."

              "Okay then it's settled we are going to save your sister."
