Believe it or not

Chapter 11

(Based off 1x10 "Co-captain") 

Through the whole game, i didn't see Stiles show up at all.  As soon as the game was over and everyone ran on the field, i ran straight to Scott. 

"Scott!" I yelled to get his attention, and he turned around to look at me. 

"Have you seen Stiles?" The twins said at the same time.

Automatically realizing neither one of is knew his location. 

"Where the hell is he?" I asked, more thinking out loud than actually to Scott.

I looked around one more time before turning back to Scott only to realize that he wasn't there anymore.

Shocker. 

I spotted him not to far away, consumed in a conversation with some older guy. He could be someone's parent, but i didn't recognize ever seeing him before. 

I studied the scene before me for a while, before something about Scott caught my attention. Not only was Derek standing next to the man, but Scott's fists where clenched and hanging down at his sides. 

It didn't take long for me to realize that the man standing in front of my brother was the alpha.

I felt my heart beat speed up, and just as it did the mysterious guy made direct eye contact with me. Causing me to stop breathing all together. I looked away quickly, and when i looked back his attention was back on Scott.  As I continued to study Scott's behavior, i saw his finger nails grow.

No, i saw his claws. 

Without a real plan in mind i walked over to them and put my hand firmly down on Scott's shoulder, causing him to look at me.

I could've sworn i saw a hint of yellow in his eyes for a split second. 

"Hey, mom wants us to be home, we better get going."  I not once looked over to the two people witnessing our conversation, scared of what would happen if I did. 

Scott didn't verbally answer me, just nodded his head.  We left as quickly as we could, I drove. 

The first few minutes of the car ride we sat in silence.

I used to love sitting in silence, with my thoughts. But now my thoughts tormented me, and i couldn't sit here in silence any longer. 

"So you're friends with Derek Hale now? Was he not just trying to kill us last week?" I asked my brother, letting the anger i felt be expressed through the tone of my voice.

Yet, still playing the clueless act well. 

"It's complicated." Was the only reply i got. I glanced over quickly to see his eyes shut, leaning his head against the window. 

"Really?" I said, a little louder than i intended, but loud enough for him to actually look at me. 

I fixed my eyes back on the road before speaking again, "is lying is complicated for you, Scott? Because you've been doing a pretty good job of it since the school year started." 

He sighed, never taking his eyes off me as he noticed the tears i wouldn't let fall from the corner of my eyes. 

"Im sorry." Was all he could say. Maybe i would hate him now, maybe he would lose the one person closer to him than anyone else. 

But he had to keep reminding himself, i would be alive. 

The rest of the car ride home, they returned to the screaming silence, both of the twins, left with their thoughts.
