Breaking The Rules For Isaac Lahey

Chapter 12

Friday 7th March

Yet again, she sits with us. And not just with us but with Isaac, or more to the point, practically on Isaac. Lunch is sickening, watching those two flirt with each other. I decide to tune them out by talking to the others, Lydia and Allison are talking about a new boutique that’s opening soon, Stiles starts filling Scott in about the third killing but is cut off by a loud giggle coming from Cassidy. We all look up to see her and Isaac pretty much groping each other, they both stop what they’re doing and Allison turns to me.

“Hey Liz, are you okay?”, she whispers to me glancing at Isaac.

“Yeah- why wouldn’t I be.”, I say coldly and Stiles puts a protective arm around me, trying to comfort me.

As I’m getting all my stuff from my locker I see Isaac and Cassidy hand in hand walking towards his car. I just don’t get it. He’s acting so different. It’s like he just totally forgot about whatever it was that was between us.

I see Stiles walking towards be and I sigh, part of me just wants to be alone but I think being with the one person who can relate to me is probably a good idea. Scott ends up coming to Stiles’ place too, which is good, it means we will have plenty of fun and we won’t be thinking about Isaac and Cassidy’s date.

Stiles and Scott play video games for a few hours, which is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. Scott is absolutely terrible at video games.

“You know, Scott, I think even I could kick your ass in a video game”, I say chuckling. He playfully shoves me and we laugh. I text Mom telling her I’m going to be out late again and I get a reply not long after.

Mom: with Isaac?

Me: actually no

Mom: oh really? Why not? Who  are you with?

Me: Stiles and Scott. Isaacs on a date

Mom: aw hun. Have fun with those two, be back before midnight okay?

She must have felt bad for me, considering she’s letting me stay out till midnight. She knows that I really liked Isaac- no like Isaac. For some reason, I still do.

Just before 10:00 Scott’s phone rings so he gets up and goes to the other room, five minutes later he comes back with a worried expression, all he says is,

“Stiles, that was Deaton. He has Isaac and it’s not good.”

“What? What happened?”, Stiles says worried.

“I don’t know yet but we need to go, now. Liz will have to come, there’s no time to take her home.”, Scott says as he grabs all his stuff.

We all climb into the jeep and Stiles starts driving, going way over the speed limit.

“Okay, someone tell me what’s going on? Who’s Deaton? And what’s wrong with Isaac?”, I say in one breath. Scott looks at Stiles as if to ask him if he should say anything and Stiles shrugs.

“Uh well- Deaton’s my boss.”, Scott says.

“Your boss?”, I question. Why the hell does his boss have Isaac? And what does ‘having’ Isaac mean?

“He’s a veterinarian.”, Scott states. Stiles sighs and says,

“Scott that doesn’t help.”

“Just wait til we get there, Isaacs hurt. That’s all I know.”, Scott explains.

“And you took him to a VET?! Not a hospital?”, I say confused.
