Hello! I apologize for not updating sooner. Also, I was thinking of making a story of how Derek and Lyrica met and all that. A prequel, basically. Anyway, enjoy the chapter!
-Recap-
I gasp and bolt up out of bed. I jump off my bed and collapse on the floor. I realize that I'm sobbing and gasping for breath, and I can't seem to fit any air into my lungs.
(Isaac's P.O.V.)
It's been about twenty five minutes since Derek left. I'm laying in my room, playing on my new phone, when I hear Lyrica gasp loudly before audibly sobbing and gasping again. I call Derek, running towards Lyrica and Derek's room. The door is locked and won't budge.
"Isaac?" Derek says on his end of the phone. "What's up?"
"Derek." I gasp, pounding on the door. "It's Lyrica. Something is wrong."
"What? What happened? I'm on my way now." He exclaims and I hear the engine of his car.
"I don't know." I pant. "She was in bed asleep and I was in my room, when I heard her gasp and start sobbing. I can't get to her, Derek. The door is locked. Derek, I don't think she can breathe."
"I'm almost home. Keep trying to get the door open." Derek says quickly.
"Lyrica!" I shout, trying to get her to open the door. "Lyrica! Lyrica, please open the door! Mom! Mum, please!" I hear a faint click and I quickly swing open the door, rushing to Lyrica's side.
"I-Isaac." She gasps, trying to breathe.
"Mum, listen to me. Take a deep breath. It wasn't your fault. Calm down. It's okay." I say softly. Her breathing calms down slightly, but it's still erratic. "That's it, Mum. Take a deep breath. I'm right here with you. You're okay. Derek is gonna be here any second."
"Isaac." She mumbles.
"Yeah?" I ask, seeing that she's breathing better now.
"I like it when you call me 'Mum'." She whispers. I start laughing, making her laugh too.
"At least we know one way to calm her down." A voice says, startling the two of us. I spin around, seeing a smug looking Derek leaning against the door frame.
"How much did you hear?" I ask, scared of his reaction.
"Everything." He says, smiling softly. "I'm glad that you're comfortable with her. It's cute that you two are already that close."
"So you're not mad?" I ask quietly.
"Of course not. I have no reason to be mad at you for calling your mother, 'Mom'." He says with a chuckle.
"Thank you, Isaac." Lyrica says, looking up at me.
"You're welcome, Mum." I say.
(Lyrica's P.O.V.)
I wince back when I feel my arm throb. I hold it in pain and clench my eyes shut so I don't cry.
"Hey Isaac, can I have a few minutes alone with Lyrica?" Derek asks.
"Yeah, sure." Isaac says, standing up. "I'll be in my room."
"Thanks Kiddo." Derek says before I hear the door close and the lock click. Not even a minute later, I feel Derek's arms wrapped around me. I bury my face in his shoulder and let the tears flow. Derek places his hand over my mark and starts quickly taking my pain, making me sigh in relief. "I think we need to change your bandages." Derek says.
"O-Okay." I stutter. Derek lifts me up and lays me on the bed.
"I'll be right back, okay?"
I nod my head after slowly opening my eyes. Derek goes into the bathroom, coming back with bandages. He walks over and sets them on the edge of the bed.
"Alright, let's get this done and over with." Derek sighs. "As much as I hate to say it, I have to go out and keep an eye on Scott. It's a full moon and he's going to a party."
"Okay." I say with a small laugh. "Isaac can keep me company. We'll act like a couple of teenage girls and have a movie night."
"Okay." Derek laughs. "But we should get this arm fixed up first."
"True." I agree.
It takes about ten minutes to get the old bandages taken off and new ones put on. As soon as Derek tapes the bandage on, I fall back into my pillows with a loud sigh. Derek chuckles at me as he gathers up the old bandages and the supplies.
"Do you need me to get you guys anything on my way home?" Derek asks upon entering the bedroom.
"Nah." I reply. "We have plenty of junk food here and we can whip something up for dinner."
"Okay. Well, I should get going. Call me if you need anything." Derek says, giving me a quick kiss.
"I will. Be careful, I love you."
"Love you too."
Okay, I know it was a REALLY short chapter but as most of you know, I prewrite my chapters and I just so happened to have less written than I thought. I figured that it was easier to just post it rather than leave you guys hanging for even longer. I swear that the next chapter will be even longer than usual to make up for this one. Adios until next time!
Edit: May 8, 2020. 10 chapters down, 58 to go. Editing is crazy.
