Intoxicating (Teen Wolf)

7)

Alexis's POV

I put away the dishes and cleaned the remainder of the house, since no one else was ever home I was the only one for the job. I picked up the broom and began to sweep while my phone blasted the song Invisible by Hunter Hayes.

"TRUST THE ONE, WHOS BEEN WERE YOU ARE WISHING IT WAS WAS STICKS AND STONES YEAH THE WORDS CUT DEEP BUT THAT DONT MEAN YOUR ALL ALONE AND YOUR INVISIBLE" I sang loudly, well more like screamed.

Tonight was the night where all the shit went down. Where the jack in the box was going to be locked up in the box. Where the truth is revealed and justice is made. Today was the day we caught the kanima. And as frightened as I was I was still filled with adrenaline.

I thought about Isaac, and the way his eyes glowed when he was turned. I thought about how innocent his face looked. How his hair was always perfectly set. How his smile just brightened the days of the weak. How everything about him made me shiver.

Then I thought about Stiles. As adorable as he is he is still a jerk face. As wonderful as his personality he still hurt me. As amazing as his eyes he still didn't care.

Suddenly I heard a loud knock on the door. I walked over calmly and then opened the door to see Stiles. I was about to shut the door on his face but he looked at me with pleading eyes.

"Just listen for a second please." He begged and I rolled my eyes and gestured that he enter my house.

"You have 1 minute" I said and we stood in the living room I crossed my arms and waited for what he had to say.

"I hate the fact that you kissed Jackson. I hate the fact that someone else got the privilege to kiss you. I hate that you always look so good, everyday and every guy stares at you. I hate how almost every boy in our grade has a crush on you. I hate the way you look at Isaac. I want you to love me like I love you. And yes, I love you. I love your hair and your eyes and your smile and your laugh and everything about you. I love how with one glance you make me feel good. Please Alexis, please love me" Stiles said and I sighed.

"Stiles you cant keep doing this. You cant hate me than love me. You cant keep playing these games. Because truth be told I don't like you Stiles, I like Isaac" I said and Stiles took a step closer.

"Just tell me what you want." He said tucking a stray piece of hair behind my ear, sending shivers down my spine by the gentleness of his touch.

"All I want is a guy that looks at me with pure lust. I want him to smile when he thinks of me, I want him to laugh at all my jokes. I want him to kiss me like he means it and hold me like im his whole world. I want him to be the reason im less insecure and I want him to love me like I would love him. I want him to tell me im beautiful and say things I need to hear. I want every glance to fill my stomach with butterflies. I want every minute with him to be one worth spending. I don't want to deal with all the drama, all this drama. I want to just go with the flow and see where that love takes me. I want to be with a person that makes me happy. Is that too much to ask?" I said and he sighed.

"Doesn't that guy sound made up? Nobodys perfect Alexis and your either going to have to accept that or keep dreaming" Stiles said and I shook my head.

"You don't get it. That's all I do. Push away the things that don't matter, but they do matter. All the little flaws. All the mistakes. They matter Stiles. Im done playing games. Im done plucking flower petals to see if he loves me or loves me not. Im sick and tired of feeling sad and wishing things were different. So please leave me alone, because im done with you" I said and was about to walk past him but he grabbed my arm and stared at me right in the eyes.

"I cant let you walk away again. Im never going to live with myself if I knew I let you go. Please give me a chance. Just one. Ever since you walked into my life, or more like fell, everything has been so much better. The sky seems brighter, the birds seem louder, the smiles seem wider. Everyone may love you Alexis but I can promise you that no one will love you like I do. Not Jackson, or Isaac, no one. I cant help but love you. I love how you make everyone around you smile. I feel like ive ruined all my chances but I know how forgiving you are. I know you wont let me go" Stiles spoke in words that ive been dying to hear.

"Stiles I-"

"Don't say anything. Just tell me you don't feel the same. Tell me you don't love me and I promise I will never bother you about this again." He said staring into my eyes desperately.

"I don't love you" I breathed out and before I knew it we were kissing.

He tasted like bubblegum and mint at the same time. His lips were soft against mine. It went slow. No tongue. Just perfect. When I finally pulled away I saw a grin was planted on his face.

"Stiles" Isaac breathed out. I turned and saw Isaac was in full werewolf mode and I suddenly felt afraid for Stiles' life.

"I-Isaac buddy, listen we can talk this out" Stiles said, his eyes full of fear and Isaac showed his claws.

"Isaac" I said in a warning tone.

"He. Kissed. You" Isaac said and I nodded, slowly approaching him.

"I am well aware of that, but that doesn't mean I like you any less. Who cares, it was just one kiss. Now please, turn back" I said gently stroking the fur on his face until it was gone.

"You, weren't scared?" Isaac asked and I smiled while shaking my head.

"I just found you adorable. Your so cute when your mad" I said and he smiled.

"Well I should go" Stiles said and I nodded.

"I'll walk you" I offered and caught up with Stiles.

"Stiles wait" I said and he stopped at the door.

"Promise me that youll be my friend" I said and he smiled.

"I cant promise you that I wont love you" He said and I shrugged.

"I don't care" I said and he planted a kiss on my forehead.

"I love you so much it hurts" He whispered and I gave him a hug.

"Im sorry" I said and he shook his head.

"See you at Jacksons house." He said and I nodded.

"See you" I said and closed the door then headed back to Isaac who took a seat on the couch.

"So I take it now that Im your boyfriend?" He said with a smirk.

"Wow  we started off as chemistry partners, now were taking chemistry to a whole new level."  I said and sat beside him.

"I found my anchor" He said and I smiled.

"The thing that keeps you from turning?" I asked and he nodded.

"Its you" He said and placed a hand on my cheek.

"Smile" I whispered. "Its free, and your smile just so happens to be priceless"

-AT JACKSONS HOUSE-

"Are you sure about this?" I asked Scott and he nodded.

"Don't worry everything should be fine."

"What if he attacks me?" I asked and Isaac put an arm around my shoulder.

"Then I'll protect you" He said and I gave him a small kiss on the cheek.

"Okay here goes nothing" I said and entered the house.

"Jackson?" I called out and I heard a noise coming from upstairs. I went up to his room and found him turning into this green lizard thing that I assumed was the kanima.

"J-Jackson?" I said and he looked at me, his cold lizard eyes staring right into my brown eyes. Then within a second his claws met my stomach and I clenched on the floor, screaming in pain, then watched him leave.

I put a hand on my stomach and blood was flooding out. Pretty soon I was light headed and I felt like I was going to faint. All I could hear was the sound of Jackson turning into a werewolf before the pain took over and I shut my eyes, wishing it would stop.

"ALEXIS" Stiles' voice cried out but I was in too much pain to hear the rest. I let the darkness take over and soon all I could see was the inside of my eye lids.
