So Cold (Liam Dunbar)

night terrors and nightmares

Liam's pov.

I felt the crumpled up paper in my hand as I shoved my hands in my hoodie pocket.

I haven't spoken to skylar in two says...because of a piece of paper with some ink on it.

But I couldn't help the rage that built in me every time I thought of it. Why would she write a bucket list?

She was pretty much giving up damn it!

She's ok with dying.

But the thought of her dying... kills me.

"Liam you ok man?" Stiles said putting a hand on my shoulder.

I had completely zoned out of the conversation the pack was having.

Scott was the next one to speak. "Liam this is important. Somethings going on in beacon hills. First the hybrid from a few weeks ago. Now this new girl and her night terrors. "

I opened my mouth to speak but Lydia butted in.
"What if traceys night terrors really just that: night terrors"

"But something feels wrong. "Stiles said. "Something isn't right. Anyone find it weird that Theo showed up when he fid?"

"I agree with stiles, at least on . " Scott said. "We gotta find whatever information we can. "

"Lydia and I can try to talk to Tracey. " Kira said.

Just then the bell rang.

"Sounds good, we'll talk later. Everyone be safe. " Scott said and we all went our separate ways rushing to class.

I walked down the hallway towards my English class, but down the left hall.. I could see a crowd of people standing around someone.

I was about to keep walking when I heard a familiar gasp for air.

My heart sped up at the thought that something happened to skylar.

I walked toward the scene, and as I got closer...

My fear was confirmed.

My angel was on the floor coughing so hard, she began to choke on her own blood.

I shoved people out of my way and was kneeling on the ground trying to pick up my baby.

"Skylar!" I panicked "Baby breathe, you have to breathe. I need you to tell me what to do"

She continued to gasp for air, her eyes rolling in the back of her head. "Skylar! " I begged.

I swear her eyes met mine for a single second and then...just as they shut...her body want lip in my arms.

"Skylar? Skylar! Baby wake up!" I panicked shaking her. She didn't respond.

Theo was next to me suddenly.
"I can hear her heart. She's breathing but it's slowing down.  "

A sob built in my throat but I knew what we had to do. I stood up picking her up bridal style.
"I need you to drive. "

"On it. " Theo stated and we took off running to the parking lot.

I hated him. I did.

But the love of my life was slowly dying in my arms.

I could feel it...

Oh god baby please don't leave me, don't leave me here.i thought just as we got in the car.

"Drive faster!" I growled.

Theo obeyed and stomped on the Gas.

I held her close to me. If she didn't make it. Oh god forbid, if she didn't live...

I needed the one person I trusted the most.

I held skylar tight and let out the loudest howl I could. Knowing Scott would hear it and follow my sent.

Scott's pov.
I had been talking to stiles wjen I heard it.

Liam's howl.

It was a cry for help.

"Scott what is it?" Stiles asked worried. 

"Liam. " whispered. "Liam needs help. "

With a shared glance we got up from our desks and left the classroom. Running down the hallway and to the stiles jeep.

"You drive I'll follow the sent, go!"

Stiles mumbled something and whipped out of the parking lot as we followed the sent.

I could feel someone in the pack fading.

Like they were dying.

"Stiles I have a bad feeling, we gotta found him!" I yelled.

"What kind of feeling?"Stiles asked but he already knew the answer.

He took a glance at me and knew.

He sped up, worry radiating from him.

"This way. Turn down that road. " I said following his sent.

A building came into view.

"What's liam doing at the hospital?" Stiles thought out loud. 

That's when it dawned on me.

My heart stopping in my chest.

"Skylar. It's skylar. " I said in horror.

"Oh my god" breathed stiles and he parked sloppily and we ran out of the car and into the emergency room.

We found Theo holding an enraged liam back...

Liam was screaming for skylar.

Skylar who was being taken away on a stretcher, being resuscitated.

"She's flat lining!"I heard a nurse say.

And the doctor put the pads to her chest, making her body tremble.

Nothing.

"Clear!"

"Clear!"...And then they were out of site, and I couldn't hear them anymore.

Nor over liam's screaming.

I somehow broke out of my shock and ran to him, throwing my arms around him, holding him tight making sure he couldn't break out.

"Liam, you gotta calm down. She'll be ok. She's with the doctors. They got this. She's a fighter. " I whispered.

"Promise?"

I closed my eyes. "I promise"

He relaxed slowly.

And suddenly he began to sob quietely.

As did stiles. Who dropped into a chair, gripping his hair. Trying to silence his cries.

I bit back my own pain. Knowing I had to be there for my pack.

Theo met my eyes,and gave me a hard look.

He knew.

He knew that skylar's cancer was bad.

He knew that she might not make it out of this hospital.

He knew I had just lied to liam.
