A Lot Like Pompeii

Chapter Five: World Of Change

Stiles opened his eyes to the sound of the waves. He sat up and looked around to see that he was still at the beach.

Shit. He thought to himself as he stood and brushed the sand off of his pants. He ran a hand through his hair and looked around to see that it was completely empty.

"What the hell?" He asked out loud as he started the trek back to the main road to his house.

As he started walking his mind went back to Derek and Stiles couldn't be more upset about that.

Stiles knew Derek had been drunk, he knew that Derek probably didn't mean what he said, but Stiles still couldn't stand the thought of his mother stringing him along and just not telling him what was happening.

Stiles turned and started walking down his driveway. "I'll just give him space. I don't need that drama in my life right now." He mumbled. As he walked closer to the house he stopped when he saw all of the police cars in front of his house.

"What the hell?"

He jumped up the steps and opened the front door, trying not to bring too much attention to himself.

The house was loud. People were walking in and out of rooms, all of them police officers. He slowly walked into the kitchen and what stood before him he wasn't expecting at all.

Allison, Scott, and Derek were all standing around the dinner table with sheriff Stilinski and Victoria pointing at a map. There were pictures of him all over the kitchen and radios were going off like crazy.

Stiles walked into the kitchen and cleared his throat. When no one looked up he took a deep breath.

"Hey! What's going on?"

The room went quiet and his entire family looked up at him.

"Stiles! Where the hell have you been?!" Allison yelled as she ran over and hugged him tightly.

"I've been on the beach, why are all these people here?"

Scott walked up, a look of worry on his face as he looked over Stiles, "Are you okay?"

Stiles looked at Scott puzzled and nodded, "I'm fine."

Sheriff Stilinski walked over with Victoria and grabbed Stiles hard on his arm, "You've been gone for two whole days and you mean to tell me that you were on the beach the whole time?!"

Stiles pulled away, "Yeah that's what I'm saying."

"Did someone drug you?"

"No."

"Well we need to go to the hospital to find out."

"He's been gone for two days! It's out of his system now." Allison said.

"Two days?!" Stiles asked bewildered as he looked among the group of friends. "No no it's Sunday!"

"It's Monday Stiles." Scott said.

"I need to go lie down."

Stiles walked out of the kitchen and into the living room. He'd been out for two days?! That couldn't be true, they had to be messing with him.

"I'll go after him." He heard someone say from the kitchen. He prayed it wasn't his father, he didn't want to deal with him right now.

Who he got was much worse.

"I don't want to talk to you." Stiles said as Derek slowly walked into the room. Derek sighed and walked over to him and sat on the couch.

"Stiles I'm sorry, but you have to remember that I was drunk. I didn't mean what I said, I'm sure your mother was a nice woman."
