There's no such thing as a perfect girl ➳ Teen Wolf

Chapter Nineteen.

Sophia's POV.

As I walk up to the place where Jake and I usually meet before classes, memories of what happened the day before begin to flood my memory. Him and Erica, Erica and him. Tear begin to fill my eyes.

"Sophia!" I hear that familiar voice call. Instead of my heart skipping a beat like it use to, It caused my heart to instantly drop. I suck those threatening tears in, and brace myself to face that beautiful face of his.

"Sophia I'm so sorry." He says, placing his hand on my shoulder. I shrug his hand off me and turn around. When I see those blue eyes of his, I can tell he is sorry. I can also tell that he has gotten no sleep at all. Tears begin to fill his eyes as he gets down on his knees to beg for my forgiveness.

"What I did was wrong. I never wanted to hurt you Sophia. I was just lonely. You were barely spending anytime from me, keeping secrets, and I felt so alone. I felt like you didn't care about me anymore," He starts, "I love you so much Sophia, even God knows that. You're the only one I want to honestly be with. You're like my other half. You complete me. Please don't let what we have go. We invested three years on each other, you can't just throw it away."

I take his two his and and bring him up while staring deep into his eyes. I know he meant everything he said. I know he feels guilty. But what for? That he got caught or that he cheated? I swallow the huge lump in my throat and fight back tears.

"I'm not throwing anything away." I say.

He sighs with relief.

"Sophia, thank you so much! I'll never let you down again. I promise to block all contact with--"

"You didn't let me finish," I say, cutting him off, "I'm not throwing anything away, because you already did that when you locked lips with Erica."

With that, I turn around and walk towards the building allowing those tears that were threatening their way out of my eyes. I bolt into the girls bathroom and slowly dab tissues on my eyes, trying not to smudge my water-proof mascara.

"Finally broke up with the douche. Took you long enough." I hear a familiar voice say.

"Derek, please leave me alone. I'm not in a good mood."

"The truth hurts." He shrugs.

I turn around and glare at him with pure hatred. As he walks closer to me, my whole body tenses up. He smiles at me and slowly lifts my chin up with his thumb.

"Lighten up Sophia." He smirks, and then walks towards the door.

"You coming?" He asks.

"Coming where?"

"Out."

"Like ditching school?"

"Duh."

"No."

"Oh yeah, I forgot you're such a goody-goody." He scoffs.

"I am not!" I retort in annoyance.

"Prove it. Come with me." He says.

"Fine." I say, grabbing my bag off the sink and following him.

"Where are you taking me?" I ask.

"It's a surprise." He told me, smirking.

As we enter his car and look around, I spot Jake who's looking at me with wide, watery eyes. He shook his head,sighed, turned around, and went into the building. Derek places his hand around my shoulders and tears started streaming down my eyes.

He lead me into his car before I began to uncontrollably sob in his arms. I began to explain the situation in between each heavy sob.

"I.. I-I d-d-don't even k-k-know where w-w-went wrong." I say.

"It was not your fault, he's the one who cheated. Not you, you have stuff going on right now he should understand that you've been loyal to him for over two years now and that's enough for him to understand that you do care." He said.

"I-I know b-but maybe I should have spent more time w-w-with him."

"That's not a reason for him to cheat."

"I know, but--"

"If you know, then stop blaming yourself."

"You just don't understand! He's been so good to me!" I say, raising my voice.

"Don't understand what? That any guy would be a fool to lose you? That Jake never even deserved you in the first place? For goodness sakes Sophia, did you not think that Jake didn't know about his best friend hitting on you?! You think he didn't know what happened that day in the bathroom? He knew Sophia, he knew. He chose not to say anything or even ask if you were okay. What type of boyfriend is that? What type of boyfriend would allow his girlfriend to feel so uncomfortable around him and his best friend? For God's sake Sophia stop letting him take advantage of you and realize that you're one of the most beautiful,amazing, and caring person any man would ever ask for!" He says.

I have no words. It's as if the words that are suppose to come out of my mouth have been sucked into a black hole, never to return away. At this very moment, everything I've ever felt about Derek, has changed. I've just seen a new part of him that I never thought existed.

I open my mouth, but nothing comes out. I'm silent for the rest of the ride.

-------

When we reach our location, we are greeted by a wide and open field which smells like hay and wet dog. I give Derek a questioning look. His response is to look at me, and then look ahead. As we're walking, I see two male figures make their way to the center of the field.

"W-what is this?" I ask.

"Wait, you'll see."

As we approach, I see two guys come out from the left and the right. I give Derek another look and he's still looking ahead. Then, a feminine figure comes out from the middle and it takes me a while to focus on who/what she is.

It's Ashley. I look at Derek in confusion. He turns towards me and places his hand on my shoulder.

"I understand that you are different from us. We could try our best to help you with your strength and powers, but our best won't be enough." He begins, "So, I'm allowing them to train you. But only under the supervision of one person from the pack."

My face instantly brightens up. My whole body trickles with excitement. I can't believe this is actually happening. They're actually going to help me control my powers with people who actually know me.

"Thank you so much Derek!" I say giving him the tightest hug I could possible give him. When I pull away from the hug, I look straight into his eyes. I never really noticed how incredibly hazel they were. It's like they captivated me and brought me into a different dimension. As if a force was pulling me closer, I leaned in and was greeted with the soft lips of Derek Hale. Only it was not where I expected it, it was not on my lips. It was on my forehead.

I frowned in confusion. Was I reading this whole thing wrong? I internally yell at myself. Why did I even think he felt that way about me? How dense and simple could I be. I look up at him and force a smile.

"No problem." He says and he cocks his head towards Ashley, telling me to go.
