This May Hurt (Teen Wolf)

Chapter 40

The ride to my house is silent. Nothing but my directions to Isaac and the roar of his bike fill the tense air. But it's not like I want to speak. My mind won't allow me to even attempt at forgetting the look on Stiles' face when we rode away. It practically rips my heart and shreds it into pieces. When we finally reach my house, I don't think I've ever really wanted to be home like now. This "first day" of mine has been anything but lovely.

I observe Isaac as his eyes grow wide at my house. People do this all the time. I understand it's larger than most, but it's only a house.

"You can come in if you want.", I tell Isaac awkwardly.

"Oh really?", he said trying to hide his excitement but failing miserably.

I nod my head and begin the walk up my driveway to my door, Isaac following closely behind.

As we enter the house, we are instantly greeted by my mother.

"Vanessa, is that you!? I'm in the kitchen sweetie! Come here and help me really quick.", she yells at me.

I quickly freeze where I am. All the stuff that happened today has made me completely blinded to the fact that I've actually brought a boy home! What the hell is wrong with me!? Sure my parents were cool with me driving to school with one, but bringing one home!? My parents have always let Lydia run around with any What will my mother say? What will my FATHER say!?

"Are you ok?", Isaac asks me.

I don't even know how to answer him. Am I GOING to be ok after this. Maybe they're still a way out. Maybe I can just sneak Isaac out before-

"Vanessa, I was calling you." Too late.

I watch in horror as my mother gracefully waltz's from the kitchen, her head down as she wipes her hands on a dish towel. But it's as if she senses the presence of another being I'm the house that isn't me because her head instantly shoots up and her eyes lock on Isaac.

Her face is unreadable and that is when my mother is her most dangerous. I can physically feel my body crumbling to the ground and it just want to crawl into a corner and hide from this uncomfortable setting in front of me.

"Who is this, Vanessa?", my mother asks me, her eyes not leaving Isaac's.

Before I can even think of something to tell her, Isaac strides over and grasp my mothers hand, shaking it vigorously. The action almost makes me want to throw up on the floor.

"Hello ma'am. My name is Isaac. Isaac Lahey.", Isaac tells my mother while flashing one of his signature smiles.

My mother does something that I never in my life expected. Instead of grabbing Isaac by the wrist and throwing him out while screaming at him to never even breath my air again, she smiles at him, giving him her own signature Martin smile, and shakes his hand back.

"It's nice to meet you, Isaac.", she coos at him. "Is this the boy that picked you up for school this morning, Vanessa?", she asks me still staring at Isaac.

Fuck. Fuck. Oh my fuck. What am I doing to myself!! Sure my parents allowed me to take my first step with boys by allowing me to ride to school with one, but how is my mother going to take the fact that I rode to school with one just this morning and now I'm bringing a different one home?! I don't want to seem like some kind of whore to my mother. Fuck.

"No.", I say blankly, the word slipping from my quivering lips before I even have time to process them.

She finally rips her eyes off of Isaac and finally looks at me, giving me a confused yet stern look that makes me buckle at my knees. Fuck. Fuck. F U C K ! Dammit! What the hell am I going to do!?
