Our next class period was lunch, thank god. For someone who does little work in school, I am always tired after a few periods. I think I have a problem. Not every teenager has to deal with half the shit that I do though. That's my excuse. I deserve a break every once in awhile.
Lydia was waiting for us at our usual seats. After everything, I've really grown to love Lydia. She is Allison's best friend who has helped her so much. I appreciate her. That doesn't mean that I'm going to try to get in her pants but hey, I'm not Stiles. As usual, Lydia looked bored and above the rest of us.
"Hey love." Allison said and I sat next to her.
"I sense that the McCall-Argent love fest is back. I want to say that I'm barfing a little in my mouth but even I can't resist how cute you two are." She smiled and I did too. At least someone in the school respected my relationship. Not to be bitter but Stiles doesn't deserve Lydia. Especially after what he did to my relationship. It's horrible for me to be this way towards him but it's so hard. I love him and I always will but I'm angry beyond belief and it's taking a lot of me to try to forgive him.
"Hey Lydia... Have you talked to Stiles?" Allison asked and I immediately look at her. That scared me. Allison was thinking about Stiles. How much did she think about him? She shouldn't have said anything about him, it hurt me and I wish she would understand that.
"Nooo... Why?"
"N-Nothing. I just think you should talk to him."
I wasn't even about to start anything. It was supposed to be a good day, I didn't want to ruin that.
Lydia might have been as uncomfortable with the subject as me because she changed it immediately. Maybe I hadn't said this enough, but thank god for Lydia Martin. "Weren't you suspended for beating up that freshman? Not that anyone was mad about that." Her comment actually made me laugh.
Romeo. What an asshole. It's guys like him that really piss me off. They do whatever they want with girls, make them think that they love them when in reality all they want is a piece of ass. After they get what the want they leave and the girl is heart broken. She may have to wait years before the hollow feeling goes away every time she sees him. It's so wrong and he deserved everything he got.
"Yep. Two weeks. I got out of it though by promising to wash all the teams uniform for a month. Didn't want to leave Allison alone."
"Always the romantic.. Or should I say clingy masoch-"
"Okay that's enough fun for today folks. Scott let's go. I wanted to talk before going to study hall." Allison cut her off. I'm glad she did. It's not news to me to hear that I'm clingy. Sorry that I love her so much. Apparently it's a crime. Seeing as Allison and Lydia talk, it scared me that she was the one who told Lydia that I'm too clingy. All I try to do is protect her. We walked away from the table with that.
Allison directed us towards the field and I followed because I really had no other choice. Whatever made her happy made me happy. It still made me worry though. Being out on that field was dangerous for anyone. There are many deaths and injuries to prove that.
As we were sitting on the bleachers there was something running our way. Allison tugged my arm to show me but I already knew. She didn't need to worry, no matter what, I wouldn't let it hurt her. Nothing else was ever going to hurt her again. That's for sure. As if she needed more trauma in her life. My claws came out and I stiffened my body, ready to fight. I hate to fight in front of her because I'm worried that I'll scare her but I had no other choice.
Wait.. Really? I sighed and relaxed myself. Derek. Thanks for giving me a heart attack bro.
"It's only Derek" I managed to laugh.
"We're getting paranoid aren't we?"
You think? "Just a little." I looked at her with a smile.
"Hey Scott. Nice to see you not in the midst of a vendetta against your brother."
"Don't remind me. Just trying to forget. What's wrong anyway? Why are you here?" I wasn't looking to play any games. My mood had changed since before and what I really wanted was to figure out what was going on and to just get on with my day.
"I'm sure the Argents have told you about the Betas cruising through the preserve"
"Yeah. They're looking for me aren't they?" Obviously I was nervous as hell. Allison needed me to be strong though.
"I already told Isaac to patrol your house and a few other areas just in case. I ran into them last night and they just kept asking where the True Alpha was. I tried to kill them but they're incredibly strong for betas without an alpha."
"But what if they just want an alpha to follow. You know, join the pack?" We both knew that wasn't the truth. She was trying to make us all feel a little safer.
"I'm pretty sure that's exactly what they want. You're right. I'm sure they won't just try to kill Scott to gain all his power. Not at all." Derek has never been good at just being nice every once in awhile.
"Hey man, cool it. She's just trying to help."
"Listen I don't have time for this. I'm actually trying to save your ass. Just came to warn you to avoid the woods for now. I need to know more about how they found out about you before I kill them."
"Are you sure you don't want me to help?" He knew more about this than we did but Derek never has been one to tell all that he knows either.
"No stay here. You'll be safer this way. Don't worry I can handle it."
Finally, he left us. We stayed silent. Probably because this was hard for both of us to take in. I had to say something though! It was my job as her clingy, overprotective boyfriend to make sure that she felt safe.
"Allison... Were going to be okay.
"I know. We always are. Kind of. Actually I want to ask you something." Here we go. This should be good. I stiffened up, preparing for the worst.
"Don't get nervous." She laughed but I wasn't laughing inside or out. I couldn't help it. After all they've put me through, I have the right to be nervous.
"Listen, these past six months we've grown absolutely dependent on each other. It's not healthy for either of us to feel like dying when the other isn't around."
"If you're breaking up with me then I-"
"Scott don't be ridiculous! No no no. I want to start over. Fall in love again. Scott and Allison, plural. We need to remind ourselves of who we were before any of this happened. Before werewolves and hunters, creatures and omens, scars and betrayals. Let's just start over. You and me."
Could it be so easy as to just start over? I knew part of me would never be able to do that. Id try though, for Allison. I smiled and looked at her. This could work. I could do this. Scott McCall, the boy with the pen. The pen.
"Well in that case.." I grabbed the pen from my pocket. "My name is Scott McCall and I'm totally not a werewolf.
"My name is Allison and I'm totally not a basket case. How did you know I needed a pen?"
"I always know. Hey do you want to maybe go on a date?"
"I'd love to! How about the ice rink? I have a feeling my friend Lydia is probably going to make this a double date though." She laughs
"That's alright.. I guess. We'll have fun."
"Yeah we will." I hope so. She kissed me and of course, I kissed her back.
This would be a good thing. A first date with Allison once again. Maybe we can stay away from the drama today. I doubted that though. At least at that moment I still had her. Any moment she could be gone again, that's what I feared. This was good though and I needed to stop making everything so bad. I love her; that's all that matters.
