Not Even Close - Teen Wolf

Stiles

Of all the things that could've gone wrong in that situation, that was probably the most outrageous and random one.

So of course it was the one that happened.

When I was running from Scott and Selene, I came to a halt to let them catch up for a second.

The only thing I failed to notice was the barrage of police men, and police dogs that were in formation in front of me.

A dog had jumped onto my shoulders, and the large amount of weight that I didn't account for so suddenly made me fall back. I was expecting a hard fall due to the forest floor but was confused when all that I got was a little thump near the bottom of my back.

I got up quickly and turned around, seeing Sel on the ground with some blood coming out of her forehead due to a what looked like large and deep cut, and a sharp rock nearby with more of her blood on it.

"Oh god, that's..." I trailed, "That's uh, not good." I mumble.

"Hang on, Hang on, this little delinquent belongs to me. Stiles, what are you doing?" My dad questions and I stumble on my words, not knowing what to say. "And that's Selene." He sighed as he looked next to me. "And she looks to be losing quite a bit of blood."

"Dad, hi, how're you doing?" I ask trying to throw him off the topic of his two teenage children, but I knew it was a failed attempt from the minute I opened my mouth.

"So, uh, do you listen in on all my phone calls?" He asked, with a hint of fear in his tone as he went down to check on the wound on Sel's forehead.

I smiled nervously, "No, well not the boring ones." I confess.

"So where are your guys' usual partner in crime?" My father once again questioned as he stood up, wiping his hands a little while he continued his interrogation.

"Who, Scott? Scott's home. Said he wanted to get a good night sleep for practice tomorrow. It was just us, in the woods, until she got knocked out. Thanks to your dogs by the way." I ramble and he raises and eyebrow at me, not believing me for one second.

"Scott? You out there? Scott?" He yelled, flashing the light, then after a few seconds, he turns back to me. I decide it was time to pick up Selene from the ground, and support her weight on my side, throwing her limp are around my shoulder. "Well young man, we're going to go to your car, you're going to take your sister to the hospital, and you and I, are going to have a discussion about something called invasion of privacy, and how to protect your sister.

It happened only last night, so it was pretty late when I got there. Ms. McCall was on shift and had yelled at me. When we went into the room, the doctor had made them take an X-ray and they said she had swelling in her brain because of the fall.

They put her into a medically induced coma to reduce the swelling and said that they would take her off the medicine in the morning, saying that she would wake up at any point of today.

With that on my mind, I pulled up into my parking spot in the school parking lot, turning off Rosco and getting out, looking for Scott. I see him getting yelled at by Jackson while he gestures to his car before he turns around and stalks off. I don't know how Sel can be friends with him. He's such an ass, well to everyone but her. Sometimes he's even an ass to Lydia, but never Selene.

"How is she?" Scott asks as I walk up to him.

"She's fine, in a medically induced coma, but fine. They said she should wake up sometime today, hopefully." He breathed a sigh of relief but was still pretty tense.
