I Was Afraid to Love Before I Met Him 》》Derek Hale Love Story

Chapter 8

Xandra's P.O.V

The two nights I spent at Lydia's flew by and it came to the time for us to stay over at Jackson's. But he doesn't know we were coming. I had spent the weekend at Lydia's and haven't seen Derek or Stiles since the hospital. I also haven't told Danny I broke my arm.

I help Lydia lug my books out to the car and dump them in the back of her car. "Well. At least nobody broke their wrist this time." I say and Lydia playfully glares at me. Since it was the first day back after I broke my wrist dad let me stay off and Natalie agreed that Lydia could stay off with me. They only really agreed becausewe both have above a 5.0 GPAs and can afford to miss a day of school. "Oh my God. How am I going to tell Danny? Oh he's gonna laugh at me so much and then he's gonna kill me for being an idiot and not listening to my dad." I groan and Lydia laughs. "Well you don't have to worry about it until tomorrow. Unless Jackson comes home with him. Then you're royally screwed because not only are you an idiot but you still haven't told your best friend that you broke your wrist. You told your boyfriend, who you were mad at for a whole of 30 minutes, and your brother, who you were mad at for a whole day, and me before you told your bestfriend. He's gonna kill you." Lydia says and I glare at her as we climb into the car. I pull my phone out and open Derek's contact. 'Staying at Jackson's with Lyds for a couple nights. Off school 2day though. U wanna come over? x ~Xan' I type and hit send. I get a reply almost immediately. 'Sure Xan. x Meet you there. We can go get coffee.' He replies and I smile before turning my phone off. "What are you smiling about?" Lydia asks. "None of your business nosy. But you may as well go school. I'm going out with Derek." I say and she rolls her eyes. "Jesus. You really are incapable of holding a grudge." She says and I stick my tongue out at her. "Shut up Lyds." I say opening the kindle app on my phone. We pull up in front of Jackson's house and Derek is there waiting for me. I smile and walk over to him. "Hi." I grin pulling him in for a hug. "Incapable!" Lydia sings loudly. "Shut up Lydia!" I yell back ask she grabs everything but my book bag. "Oi! Tall, Dark and Handsome. Come get your girlfriend's books." Lydia says and we laugh as Derek walks over to the trunk. I follow him giddily. He grunts as he lifts it making me laugh. "Jesus Christ Xan. What have you got in here?" He asks as he follows Lydia and I to the door. "Well apparently dad thought I'd be at Lydia's, followed by Jackson's, then Danny and possibly Allison so he grabbed all of my books." I say with a shrug as Lydia unlocks the door. We walk upstairs to Jackson's room and dump our stuff before going back down for more. As I start to leave Derek goes to place my books on the bed. "No. No. No. No. Put the bag on the floor. If any of my stuff is anywhere on that bed Jackson will kill me. Metaphorically and literally." I say and Derek laughs as Lydia walks back in. "She's not joking. I'm his girlfriend and he won't let me put my stuff on his bed either." Lydia says dumping a bag of clothes so Derek drops the bag unceremoniously onto the floor. "Derek!" I say frustrated. "What?" He asks. I open my bag of books and go to the bottom of the neatly piled up books. I finally find the one I'm looking for and grab it with a sigh of relief. "You're as bad as Stiles with my books." I say before walking back downstairs to get more stuff. I hear Derek ask Lydia what was so important about the book but Lydia doesn't know. Only Danny, my dad and Stiles know. I tell Danny everything if you couldn't tell. I sit next to the car and pull out my phone. I open Danny's contact. Xan? What's up? Where the hell are you? ~Danny. I'm at Jackson's house. Lyds and I were gonna stay here for a bit. Can I stay with you instead? I text biting my lip. Yeah. Course you can Xan. No problem. I'll pick you up later yh? ~Danny. Yh thanks Danny. See you later. I text back. I put my phone away and grab a bag and carry it to the hallway and leave it by the door. Derek comes down and goes to grab it but I stop him. "No. Don't I'm going with Danny after school. He's picking me up later." I say before walking upstairs to Lydia. "Danny's picking me up later so I'm leaving my stuff by the door downstairs." I say to Lydia as I grab my bag that I had previously brought up. "What happened to annoying Jackson?" Lydia whines. "You can do that. I need some Danny/Xandra time." I say and Lydia nods. "I get that. Okay." She says and we go downstairs. Derek is hauling in the last three bags. He dumps mine on the floor and hands Lydia her bag. I hug Lydia. "See you tomorrow or later." I say and she nods. I then grab Derek hand and drag him to his car. He unlocks it and we climb in. He goes to start the car but stops halfway. "I'm sorry." He says and I look at him. "What?" I ask, furrowing my eyebrows. "I'm sorry for taking Stiles' side. I'm sorry I hurt you." He says and I force him to look at me. "Hey. Listen to me. I forgive you okay. I understand that you didn't like seeing me so unhappy while being mad at Stiles and I get why you took his side. I overreacted. If anything I should be saying sorry." I say and his head shoots up from where it has yet again dropped to. "No. I took your brother's side over yours and you were already hurting. I shouldn't of done that. I love you Xandra Stilinski. I don't want you to say it back until you're absolutely certain." He says as I open my mouth to say it back. He presses his lips to mine before starting the car and driving to the coffee place.

Sorry for such a short chapter but I know I haven't updated in a while so I figured a short chapter is better than no chapter. ~Lauren.
