The She Wolf {A Teen Wolf/Stiles Stilinski Love Story}

11. Formality

"Call it again." Scott ordered as he rummaged through everything under his bed. Stiles and I were each in a chair watching Scott frantically search every drawer and under every piece of furniture for his missing phone.

"It's not here." I said looking up from my chemistry book.

"So you lost your phone. Why don't you just get a new one?" Stiles asked. Scott pulled himself under his bed for a better look.

"I can't afford a new phone. And I can't do this alone, I need to find Derek." Scott got up and walked into the bathroom still looking everywhere a phone could be.

"Well A, you're not alone. You have us." Stiles said with a bright smile and held up his fist. I hit my fist to his and he continued. "And B, didn't you say Derek walked into gunfire? He sounds pretty dead."

"Argent's plan was to get him ,to get to the alpha, they're not gonna kill him." Scott.

"Plus Derek's almost died multiple times now, we should just categorize him as immortal." I said without looking away from the book.

"Alright, so why don't you just let them do what they're planning? You know, they use Derek to get Peter, problem solved." Stiles suggested. Clothes started flying through the air from the bathroom onto the floor in front of us.

"Not if Peter's going after Allison to find Derek!" Scott said harshly as he walked back in the room. Stiles rolled his eyes.

"I can't protect her on my own, which means we have to find Derek first." Scott started pulling things off his shelves.

"Why do we care about Allison anyway? She a hunter, Scott. She's one of them. Maybe it would be a little easier with her out of the picture. You know, it would set her family back a bit and they'd lay low awhile so you'd be free to be your wolfy self without having to worry about arrows flying through your chest." I said as I wrote a note in the margin of my book with a blue pen.

"Just- just help me." Scott threw a ball at us that hit Stiles in the side of the head.

"You know, you probably lost it when you two were fighting. You remember that? When he was trying to kill you. After you interrupted him trying to kill Jackson....... Are you starting to see a pattern of violent behavior here?" Stiles said sounding a little annoyed. I saw him glace back at me searching for an emotion but I kept my face solid and looked back down at my book pretending not to listen.

"He wasn't going to kill anyone. I'm not letting him die." Scott scolded.

Stiles sighed. "Could you at least think about letting him die?.........For me?"

I heard a high screeching noise and looked around. Scott had heard it too. "What?" Stiles asked.

"My mom just got home from work." Scott answered. I listened to Melissa talking for a minute, probably on the phone, when I noticed Scott's expression. I wasn't used to all my abilities since I'd shut them off for so long, but this time I didn't choose to listen. Instead I watched Scott expression. He smiled at first but then it fell right off his face. His expression was sad, but not quite sorrow. It almost looked a like pity.

"Is she alright?" Stiles asked.

"No." Scott said quietly.

"What's she doing?" Stiles asked again.

"Crying."

Scott sat down on the bed in front of us. "Scott you can't protect everyone." I said placing my hand on his knee.

"I have to." He replied.

*************************

Scott asked me if I'd wanted to stay over for the night but I told him no and said I would just go back to the Hale house. The hunters would think it was empty now anyway, plus I'm pretty sure they don't know about me. Stiles drove me to the house and I thanked him jumping down from the jeep and walked inside.
