Chapter song: Never Know - by 6lack
My eyes peeled open, as my whole body was shaken. Immediately my tired eyes were hit with a bright light, causing me to blink and groan at the way it blurred my vision. Suddenly my eyesight wasn't the only problem, my arm felt as though it was on fire. I looked down at it, chunks of flesh barely hanging on; blood still oozing from the gaping holes in my arm. I gasped as the wave of a shooting, burning pain, took it's course throughout my body. I dug my fingernails into the squishy thing I was laid on. I looked around for a second and learned I was in a car.
A large hand found it's place on my shoulder, and I was snapped out of my personal bubble of pain. The owner of the hand, Scott, gave me a look of sympathy and a few tears found their way down my cheeks. I looked around at my surroundings, seeing a high roof with a roll bar across it and square windows. I was in Stiles' jeep. I was laying across the backseat with my head resting in Scott's lap.
"Why are we in the jeep?" I stuttered, looking up at Scott and rubbing my eyes
"We're taking you to the hospital" Scott answered, looking down at me
"No..no..no I'm fine really" I stammered, my eyes opening wider than I thought possible. Hospitals are a no go for me, word gets around that it's me and I'm back with another strange injury the psychiatric ward will have a field day. If they were to find me, looking like this, they would through me right back in the ward. I can't go back there again, I won't go back there again.
"Cali you are aware you passed out and you can see the bone on your arm?" Scott asked his tone laced with worry, as he scanned his eyes over my torn apart arm.
"Yeah Cali, it was pretty freaky stuff." Stiles piped in from the front
I shook my head vigorously. "I can't go. I just don't like hospitals okay. I can't go in there. I won't go in there!" My heart was racing and the knot in my throat was so big it hurt.
"Hey, hey Cali. It's going to be okay, calm down." Scott said desperately, "My mom works at a hospital so I'll just bring you to her. Okay?" Scott said sympathetically
I didn't like the idea of this at all but I also knew the burning sensation that had taken over my arm wasn't going anywhere without some medical attention. So I cautiously agreed.

"Ok... So I bandaged your arm and gave you some painkillers but that's really all i can do." Melissa, Scott's mother, informed me. After she had wrapped my arm in an off-white gauze, and cleaned it properly, which hurt like hell.
"Do you know why I passed out?" I asked, while sitting up on a medical table, next to Stiles and Scott, swinging my dangling legs off the table. I needed to know anything and everything I could about being attacked by a bunch of demented birds.
"I think it was just shock" she said, pinching the bridge of her nose "May have been pain or blood loss as well" She shrugged
I nodded, "Thank you so much for seeing me." I said hopping off the table, and headed for the door. I wanted to get out of this place, as soon as possible. I kept waiting for her eyes to light up as she recognized my name. Then she would tell Scott and Stiles all about me and the only things even close to friends I had ever had would disappear.
"You need to watch it, have Scott check it once a day" Melissa told me in a very mom like tone. She looked at both of the boys standing with me. Raising her eyebrows and giving them some kind of look that I couldn't read, but I'm sure they did. "Also Scott knows how to change out your bandages so he can do that once a day as well."
I nodded, good for me now I have an excuse to see Scott. I don't know why my stomach filled with butterflies at the thought of seeing Scott on a regular basis. I don't know why every time he looked at me, my heart began to race. Suddenly my eating habits have gone down and I haven't been as hungry lately. All I can think about now is the things he said to me the other night, I'm losing my mind.
The three of us made our way out of the room and headed towards the car.
"You all good?" Stiles asked, and he threw his arm around my shoulders
I nodded, feeling a sense of belonging. The way they already have treated me, makes me feel as though they actually want me there. It's a new and strange feeling, I like it. But in spite of all the butterflies and sunshine hanging out with these boys brings me, the little voice inside of my head told me something different. It wouldn't let me shake the fact that in a matter of months Ill be gone. I mean once I go crazy for one night these boys will lose all interest in me. I simply can't forget the fact that once every month for one night I lose control. I can't decide if I should get attached and make some good memories before it all goes to hell or if I should save myself some heartache. Honestly though maybe it's the pain meds talking but I feel like these guys would maybe possibly accept me, i mean they accept Scott. I smile at the unlikely thought and decide to enjoy the time I have; no matter how much it is.
"Yeah, I think I am" I smiled leaning into Stiles and shooting Scott a warm smile.
No matter what happens I think I'm gonna make some memories here.
