This May Hurt (Teen Wolf)

Chapter 12

I see headlights flash on my side and turn to see a black, slick sports car pulling into the the parking lot.

"Vanessa plea-", but I walk away from him to the car just as I watch Scott, Derek, Isaac, and Boyd get out of it.

"What are you doing out here? You need to stay inside, out if sight.", Derek barked at me.

"I just came out for some...fresh air.", I reply weakly.

"Well get back inside. We just lost the Alpha Twins and I don't need you doing your werewolf attraction on them to find you." I scowl at him. He's probably the rudest person I've ever met.

I watch him look behind me. "Stiles, what the hell is wrong with you?", he asks.

I turn and see Stiles' once perfect face, now carry a look of hurt and sadness. His golden brown eyes now dark, very unnatural looking. Even his lips which are usually curled into a slight smile, are now in a frown that just completes his torn face. My heart aches at the sight of him. And the worse part is...I caused it.

I watch as he doesn't answer Derek but simply turn and walk back into the vet shop. Everyone looks at me suspiciously but I simply stare at the ground.

"How about we all go inside?", Boyd suggests.

I soon here the sound of their feet moving towards the vet, but I stay right where I am, too emotional to move. Why is he even getting upset?! We've known each other like what, a day and some hours. It's not like we've been in some forever long relationship and I just broke up with him. But that kiss...I know what he was talking when he said i felt what he felt. It was an undeniable passion that still burns inside of me.

I am almost unaware of footsteps approaching me. I look up to see Isaac inches away from me. Wow he really cute. In this boyish man way...like Stiles. My heart cuts just at the thought of his name.

"Are you ok?", he asks me. His voice sweet like honey, sweet and smooth.

"Ya I just-", I start.

"A lot to take in huh?" He gives me a small smile. I return it with my own. "It's ok. I- I mean we won't let anyone hurt you.", he tells me. Those words...Stiles' words.

"Thank you.", I say quietly once again looking down.

"Hey.", he says as he lifts my chin up, forcing me to look into his soft eyes. "Why are you always looking at the ground?", he asks me.

"Sorry. It's a force of habit. Lydia says it's a really ugly one.", I tell him.

"I don't think there's an ugly thing about you.", he says.

I watch as he quickly removes his hand from my chin as his cheeks grown red from words I suspect him not to have wanted to say out loud. I laugh it off and say thank you while giving him an even bigger smile. This seems to calm him and he gives me an equally big smile.

A gust if wind blows and I shiver massively at it. This stupid thin sweater I'm wearing is not appropriate for this cold.

"Are you cold?", Isaac asks me.

Before I can even reply he strips off his leather jacket and put it around my shoulders. It's warm, really warm and it had a strong sweet smell. His scent or cologne probably, but whatever it is, it's heavenly. I can't help but blush at this too kind gesture. He sees it, I know, and smiles brightly.

"Come on. Let's get you inside before you freeze to death." He wraps an arm around my shoulders while leading me inside the vet shop. My heart pounds at the touch. What the- Why is he being so- but my thoughts are interrupted once we reach the inside of the shop.

As we enter, all eyes are on us. But it's one pair of eyes that really catch my attention. Stiles' eyes, filled with shock than anger with just a hint if sadness. They move from me to the jacket draped around me to Isaac's arm on me. I uncomfortably shift from under Isaac's arm and once again look at the ground.

"Well look what we have here.", I hear Lydia sneer. And knowing my sister, she has a smug evil grin across her perfect little face.
