Never Be The Same // Liam Dunbar

Chapter 17 ~ Hayden-freaking-Romero

Luna looked up at just the right time during her English class, seeing Liam rushing down the hall. The girl furrowed her eyebrows, clearing her throat and asking the teacher to go to the bathroom. After getting permission, which took long enough, she walked to Liam's history class to see Tracy gripping on tightly to some girls wrist.

"Tracy," Scott said quietly, starting to walk towards her. She only gripped on tighter. "Tracy." The girl stood, breathing heavily. "Tracy. Tracy, let go. Tracy."

"Hey, you're hurting me," the girl whined.

Luna rolled her eyes. "Oh, suck it up, you wuss." The girl shot Luna a glare, turning back to Tracy, who was drawing blood from her wrist.

"They're coming," Tracy stated. Before anyone could ask, she let go of the girls wrist. "They're coming for all of us." She took a few heavy breaths before collapsing down onto the ground. A grey liquid began to pour out of her mouth. Luna took a step back. Scott and Ken, the teacher, carried her out while Liam, Luna and the girl walked into the hall.

The girl looked at Liam. "She wasn't even supposed to be in our class." Liam looked back at her. "Where are they taking her?"

"Uh. . . The hospital, I guess," Liam shrugged. He looked down at her wrist. "Do you need help getting to the nurses office?"

"I think I'll make it," the girl sassed.

"Good. Why don't you get going?" Luna growled. The girl eyed Luna before turning and running down the hall. Luna turned, walking away, Liam following. They stopped in front of Kira and Lydia.

"They're taking her to the animal hospital?" Kira asked.

"Yeah, to see if Deaton can figure out what's wrong with her," Liam replied.

"What's wrong with her is that she killed two people," Lydia said quietly. "Her father, and, according to Parrish, her psychiatrist."

"Is there anyone else we can talk to?" Kira questioned. "Does she still have her mom? Any family?"

Lydia looked up. "Alpha. If she's a werewolf, she has an Alpha, right? Anyone know if a new one's moved into Beacon Hills?"

Luna sighed. "No, but there's an old one," she stated. "One of the oldest. We know her."

Liam nodded. "And her pack."

Luna, Liam and Mason were planning to talk to Brett after school, but first, they had to make it through the rest of the day. When Luna walked into her gym class and saw the girl that Liam obviously seemed to know and possibly like, she instantly grew angry.

Luna stood in the gym, her arms crossed over her chest. Damian furrowed his eyebrows, walking over and looking at the girl Luna was looking at. "Why are you looking at Hayden Romero like you're planning to murder her?"

"Because I am," Luna replied, turning and grabbing a soccer ball for she and Damian to do practice kicks. "She and Liam seem to know each other, and I hate her."

"You hate her because she knows Liam?" Damian asked, cocking an eyebrow.

Luna rolled her eyes. "No. I hate her because it's obvious that she likes him. She's playing the whole 'I hate you' act. Liam gets nervous whenever she's around, as if he likes her."

Damian scoffed. "Oh, please. He could barely get one girl. Why would he try to go after Hayden? It's obvious he loves you. He's one of the most clingy guys I've ever seen."

"But he's known her a lot longer," Luna stated, sighing and shaking her head. She looked at Damian. "What if he really does like her? What if he leaves me for her?"
