Another Hale

Chapter 9

I groaned when I felt sunlight hit my face. I hate light when I wake up. Any light is too bright. I tried to stretch but I was still stuck. 

The alarm clock next to me started going off. Jackson reached over and turned it off. 

"Good morning." He mumbled sleepily.

"Morning"I say simply. "I need to go and get ready for school."

"Okay." He said but kept a hold of me.

"I need you to let me go." I tell him. A smirk made it's way onto his face.

"And if I don't." He teased.

"I'll break your arm and leave anyway." I said casually. 

"Feisty, I love it." He teases but lets go.

"You need me to take her to the formal?" Jackson asked Scott. He was confused why Scott wanted him to take Allison to the dance.

"I don't want you to. I need you to." Scott told Jackson. He was freaking out about the possibility of Peter going after Allison. Scott figured she'd be safer with Jackson since he couldn't go himself.

"Screw you. Actually screw you too. In fact, screw each other." Jackson said. He had plans on who he was going to ask already and it wasn't Allison.

"Hey, you know we saved your life ,right?" Stiles pointed out.

"He left me for dead. It was Jessica that got me out." Jackson told them.

"I got shot for you." Scott told him. 

"Oh yeah? Show me the bullet wound." Jackson said. He had a hard time believing anyone ,especially Scott, would take a bullet for him. 

"You know it healed." Scott  said.

"Convenient." Jackson said.

"Just do it for Allison ,okay? She's in serious danger. I'm talking around-the-clock danger. She needs someone to keep an eye on her at the dance." Scott tried to convince him.

"Have her dad do it ,okay? He's the one actually equipped to handle this." Jackson pointed out.

"How am I supposed to do that and keep him from finding out about me?" Scott asked.

"Not my problem." Jackson said. He went to walk away. He already knew who he wanted to ask to the formal and he was giving that up over some supernatural bullshit.

"You're her friend too. You are. All that time you spent with her to get to me you can't tell me you didn't get to know her and like her. It's Allison. It's impossible not to like her. You can't tell me that you don't care if she gets hurt."

"What if I get hurt?" 

"Then it's worth it."

"Not for me. Besides I'm already planning on asking someone." 

"Who? Who is more important than helping Allison?" 

"Jessica. Jessica Hale." 

When Jackson said that he wanted to ask Jess, Stiles felt an odd anger. Jackson left and Stiles just wanted to punch him like he did the night they were trapped in the school.

"Well I shouldn't say I told you so... because it's not strong enough. How about I'm always right and you should listen to whatever I have to say and never disagree ever ,ever,  for the sake of your wolflihood, starting with going and kicking Jackson's arrogant ass."
