Believe it or not

Chapter 6

(Based off 1x06 "Heart Monitor")

AUTHORS POV

Alex had left Stiles a few messages on his phone. She wanted to check in and make sure his dad was okay from the other night. He got hurt trying to protect everyone from the mountain lion, but she hadn't heard anything back from Stiles.

She decided she would just wait until she saw him at school to ask him face to face, so she got dressed in her leather skirt, black boots, and a tan sweater.

She took her seat in her first class , which again, was next to Stiles who sat behind Scott. Just looking at the two of them she could feel the tension in the room.

But for now, she ignored it and decided she was finally going to make Scott talk to her.

"Hey, Scotty." She whispered to grab his attention. He turned around and looked at her, giving her the 'okay' to continue with the raise of his eyebrow.

"Be home for dinner tonight, we need to talk." She didn't give him a chance to say anything back before she returned to sitting regularly in her seat and opening her book.

Scott then turned his attention to Stiles who wasn't talking to him.

"Still not talking to me? Okay, can you at least tell me if your dad's okay? It's just a bruise, right? Some soft tissue damage? Nothin' that big - You know I feel really bad about it, right? Okay. What if I told you that I'm trying to figure this whole thing out, and - That I went to Derek for help?" That last sentence caught Alex's attention again.

Stiles didn't look up from his book as he replied, "If I was talking to you, I would say that you're an idiot for talking to him. But obviously I'm not talking to you."

She hated to see the boys not together like normal. It almost felt like something was off with the universe those two were so inseparable.

Alex knew it wasn't going to take long for Stiles to give in and ask Scott to elaborate, and when he did he said, "What did he say?"

Alex watched intently as Scott didn't actually answer, he just gave Stiles a pointed look as if he should know already and he did.

Stiles sighed before speaking again, "He wants you to tap into your animal side and get angry?" He questioned.

The boys shifted their gaze to Alex to see if she was listening.

She totally was but once she saw their heads start to turn towards her she looked down immediately so they would keep talking and she could find out more.

"Yeah." Scott whispered to Stiles who just sighed,

"Well correct me if I'm wrong, but every time you do that, you try to kill someone. And that someone's usually me."

Alex's heart rate had increased immensely after hearing what Stiles said. Questions kept piling themselves into her mind one after the other, but she couldn't say anything yet. She needed to stay calm so she could hear more of what they had to say.

"I know. That's what he means when he says he doesn't know if he can teach me. I have to be able to control it."

What the hell? Control what, she thought. Everything and everyone around her became irrelevant so she could focus on every word that was said between the boys.

"Well, how's he gonna teach you to do that?" Stiles inquired.

"I don't know. And I don't think he does either." Both Scott and Stiles sighed, obviously stressed out of their minds.
