The Quiet // Stiles Stilinski

Chapter 1: The Night

(This will all be in Ellie's pov unless I state otherwise!)

I look at my alarm clock and it's already 9:00 pm. Mom has already left for work about an hour or two ago, which left me and my brother Scott alone. 

I go over to my closet to pick out the perfect outfit for tomorrow, seeing as it's the first day of school. I'm a sophomore now and I need to make my big break through with this school. All last year I had the unfortunate reputation as the freak, creepy, and ugly girl. I never really cared about how I looked until everyone else did.

To teachers and others in Beacon Hills, I was just the quiet girl who never had a father. They always blame my father for how I am now, and to be honest I only blame him for creating distress and anger on the family. I never have and never will blame him for who I developed as a person. That was and will always be my choice, as of right now I am changing myself to become better and more likable. Scott is the male figure in my life, he did all of the fatherly actions at home. Took care of me when I was sick, helped me with homework, helped me with crushes and if he was never in my life I would be worse of a person.

The sheriff, Stiles Stilinski's dad, was like a father to both of us and our mom was like a mother to Stiles. So from time to time we shared parents, but that was fine by the three of us. No matter what the door is always open for one another. Some nights I would go over to Stiles' house when he was missing his mom bad. He would never tell his dad because Stiles feels like he is the reason for his moms death. 

Stiles would do the same with me, not when I was missing my father since I never do, but whenever I'm home alone he will come over to keep me company. Me and him had a very good friendship, and I will never let my feelings for him get in the way of that. 

This summer I've been working out, I went to the beach sometimes to work on my tan and I went to the mall to buy a new wardrobe of clothes. This will be my year to actually have friends. I'm not saying at all that I don't enjoy my brother and Stiles' company, trust me I do, but I need more friends. Specifically girls.

I start to look through my closet and I pick out this white floral patterned dress with a brown belt, and a light denim jacket. To accessorize it, I choose this jewelry set of a brown and clear necklace, and brown earrings and bracelet. I took out my brown leather boots and grabbed my purse. I put everything on my desk chair and went over to my bed. 

As I'm getting into bed I hear something bang on the roof. I walk over to my door and open it, the same time that Scott opens his. "You heard that too right?" We both asked at the same time. I rolled my eyes since it does annoy me sometimes. 

Scott grabbed his baseball bat from his room and we both went downstairs and opened the door. "I don't see anything." I said and sighed. "It must've just been the wind or an animal.  Let's go back inside you need your sleep for lacrosse practice." I added on and Scott nodded. Out of nowhere Stiles hangs down from the roof causing both me and Scott to scream and jump back. {I'm not recreating the exact scene, my own dialogue and actions will be added in!} In return Stiles screams and falls down. 

"Stiles what the hell! You scared the shit out of us!" I yell whispered as he climbed up the railing. "Nice to see you too, and I'm fine by the way!" He said and I rolled my eyes. He stands on the porch with us and brushes off his clothes. The way the porch light shinned on Stiles made him look even more attractive, if that's even possible. 

"Dude what are you doing here?" Scott asked and Stiles furrowed his eyebrows. "Um I don't remember...oh wait yes I do! Okay so lets all get in my jeep and I'll explain on the way!" Stiles said quickly and I raised my eyebrow.  

"Yeah no way Stiles, school starts tomorrow! All three of us need our sleep." I said and start to walk back inside until I feel someone grab my wrist. "No no no, Ellie come on this is our last night of summer! Lets all spend it together." Stiles said and turned me around. I groaned and leaned up against the house. "The only way my butt is getting in that jeep is if you explain now." I said and Stiles threw his head back annoyed. 

Scott put the bat down and leaned against the house next to me. "Okay so we are going into the woods-" "Nope." I cut him off but Scott pulled my arm so I have to stay. "Ellie what is up with you? You're always into stuff like this." Scott asks me and I just shrug my shoulders. "Anyways, we're going into the woods to find a dead body! My dad got a call and now him and everyone else is there! Come one lets go find this body ourselves!" Stiles exclaimed and on the inside I was jumping up and down!

Scott wasn't wrong, I did love stuff like this. But since I want to change I've been trying to distance myself from it all. Scott looked at me with sad eyes, he knows why I'm not so excited, he knows why I did everything I did in the summer. Stiles doesn't. He doesn't know what I've been called, what things have been thrown at me. He knows none of it and I want to keep it that way.

"So what do you guys say? We only live once." Stiles said and smiled brightly. Scott sighed and gave in. "Sure I'm in." He said and they both looked at me. "What?" I said quietly, and Stiles looked confused. "Why are you being like this?" He asked and I shook my head. "It's nothing, but um come on! Why not, what can go wrong?" I asked and faked a smile just to make Stiles happy.

I'll do anything just to make Stiles happy.
