Monsters

SIXTEEN

 So Theo and I have been going to the mall and everything. Apparently he is moving to Beacon Hills. He grabs my hand. 

"You know it's almost time for you to go to college," he says. I look at all the stuff I haven't packed. That's just in my apartment. Mama McCall can keep some of my stuff in the garage until I can get it. 

"Yeah I have like 6 more hours until my flight. I just got pack the suit case," I say. 

He leans in to kiss me. "You know I don't want you to go," he says. I smile. 

"Trust me I need to leave," I say. "Let's go out for food."

We go over to a diner. No one is there. So I get some french toast and eggs. Theo laughs. "Are you ever going to try to get anything different?" He asks. I smile. 

"Of course I will. Maybe in like 3 years," I answer. He smiles. He grabs my hand. Scott knows I've been seeing Theo. I haven't really told him much though. 

They will be busy tonight. Actually I have to go say goodbye. I take a few bites then get up. 

I look at him. I look at the clock. I have to go. "Theo I have to go home," I say. "I actually need to finish packing."

I hurry and leave. I feel bad but I have to say goodbye. When I get to where Scott, Liam and Stiles are in the woods. "I came to say goodbye," I say. They all look at me. Liam is sadly chained to a tree. I look at them. 

They let Liam go. I hug him first. "I'm gonna miss you," I whisper. 

Then I look to Scott and Stiles. "Remember I will always come when you need it," I say. They smile. "It has to be an emergency a really big one because I won't be able to leave if there is another Beta getting turned." 

They nod. I go over and hug both of them. I get into the car to see my mom. She is at the hospital. I smile at how much I hate this place. Nothing good ever happens here. I bring her dinner too. 

"Thank god," she says. I walk over and give her the bag. She grabs it and puts it down. Then she starts to eat. 

"Thanks. I know you're suppose to leave tonight," she says. We hug. 

"It's no big deal. I'll be over in 2 months," I say. "There is a thing called Thanksgiving."

Then I get on my car and start driving. When I get to my apartment. I have to hurry so I can get on the traffic. When I get to my room. Something makes me black out. 

When I wake up I see I'm getting operated on. I try to fight but I can't. Then I see who is operating on me. I pass out again. 

Somehow I'm on my bed. There's Theo. He's trying to wake me up. "Let me drive you to the airport," he says. I get up and start walking with him. 

Then I lift my shirt up. Must have been a bad dream. I get up and walk with him. He grabs my hand. His parents were the ones driving. Sometimes I forget that the world thinks I'm a year than I am. 

We don't say anything. I just lean on his shoulder until we get there. He looks at me one last time. Then he goes. 

I get onto my plane. Turns out I see Ethan on the plane. With some other dude on the plane. "Ethan," I say. Then I go over and hug him. 

"Alex. This is Jackson," he says. "Jackson Whittmore."

What? This is the smallest world ever. I look at him. "You're Jackson?" I ask. He nods. 

"Ethan what if I don't like him?" I whisper. Jackson looks a little worried. I smile. "I'm messing with you, I didn't get to do it with his ex." 

Jackson. Oh my god. This was Danny's best friend before me. Which I am pretty awesome and I'm better than him. Jackson looks very nervous.
