Misconceptions (An Isaac Lahey Fanfiction)

Chapter 10; Party Guessed

The ride home was silent, like completely silent. I stared at the road, my grip on the wheel causing my knuckles to turn white. I couldn't take it anymore,
I pulled over as silent tears slid down my cheek.
"Isaac, Jackson and someone we don't even know is killing people. He is killing someone's child, a person and I can't stop this paralyzing fear that the next person he kills is going to be me and my mom can't take that. She can't take another loss. She just lost my dad and I can't lose her. If Jackson kills me she'll be all alone. He is killing people with lives. And we can't stop him." I said my breathing picking up. I was having a panic attack, I forgot my medicine this morning and right now it was hitting me hard.
"Kaya, hey look at me. Look at me in my eyes," Isaac started grabbing both of my shoulders and turning me towards him. "I am going to protect you. Jackson isn't going to kill anyone you love. Jackson killed my dad, he killed my dad and I'm an orphan. I'm completely alone right now and my entire life I made sure that I was kind to people and treated people right but then he died. The monster who tortured me died. And suddenly I felt a rush of power. I look at you everyday and I notice the hint of emptiness in your eyes, all I want to do is fix you." He finished before pressing his lips to mine. I held my breath, a thousand thoughts running through my head and then all at once, nothing. Nothing but the moment, and I began moving my lips against his. This was my first kiss and all I can think about is that right now I felt safe and loved. He pulled apart taking a shaky breath.
"Thank you." was all I said before starting up the car and getting back on the road. We drove for a while before my phone rang, Allison was calling me. I clicked the button on my steering wheel and answered the phone.
"Hey girl! Whats up?" I asked in an over bubbly voice.
"Uhm, we may have a stalker on our hands. I just dropped off matt and he has hundreds of pictures of you and I on his camera. Like, candids through windows and from streets. He caught me and he was really creepy about it. I tried acting like I didn't see the pictures of you but he is so creepy. I'm terrified." she said flustered.
"Allison, just drive straight home and lock the doors." Isaac said calmly and collected. "Maybe stay at Lydias tonight."
"Okay, bye guys." she breathed and hung up. I dropped Isaac off at his "place" and then circled back home. This whole thing was beginning to be too much. I double checked every lock in my house before calling it a night and submerging into the realm of unconsciousness.

"So as you all know my birthday party is always the party of the year and I expect you all to be there!" I wake up to this text buzzing next to me from Lydia. Shit. I totally forgot about her party and I definitely don't have the time to get her anything. I wanted to check on Isaac before the full moon tonight but Derek wouldn't let me and Stiles was busy trying to make amends with his dad. I was by myself today. I spent a good hour in the bath and basically the entire day getting ready for the party. I really wanted a night off from all this chaos and tonight would be it. No wolves, just shots. By 8:00 I was in Stiles jeep on the way to the party, with his giant present for Lydia in the back, jeez will this kid ever let up? Stiles had trouble getting through the door so I walked around back to meet Allison. There was no one at this party and it was totally lame for the first twenty minutes. But it kicked up after a while.
"I'm gonna go dance with that hot guy on the lacrosse team." I yelled to Allison after drinking about 5 cups of whatever this was, definitely not regular punch. I sauntered my way over to whoever this was on the dance floor and started dancing feeling carefree and weightless. That is until Jackson shows up. I immediately stop and look over at Stiles and Scott in horror.
"What are we gonna do?" I asked worriedly. Scott wasn't going to be reliable because of the full moon and that meant it was me, Allison, and Stiles left to control every body. As if things couldn't get any worse Matt walks in and I can feel my knees quiver. This was not what I had planned for tonight. Scott had subdued to Lydia and started drinking and Matt was walking over to me. I quickly finished my drink and hoped for some liquid courage.
"Hey can we talk? I know Allison told you about the pictures." he said with an apologetic look in his eyes.
"Yeah, right here sounds good." I responded sitting down on the edge of a planter.
"Alright I know I took some picture of you that I should have told you about. But is it so bad that I think you're beautiful? And that you should be the subject of a perfect photograph." he rebuddled.
"No Matt. Frankly, I don't even know how you got some of those pictures."
" A telephoto lense. Photographers call it candids."
" Yeah well police officers call it stalking."
Stalking? So I'm a stalker now?" he start angrily but out of the corner of my eye I think I see someone familiar." I'm not the kind of guy to say If I can't have her no one can. Theres a million other pretty girl so get over yourself." he finishes and walks away. I'm completely distracted not even caring about what he just said. I walked into the house following someone who couldn't be here.
"Dad?" I finally breath out. The figure turns around and there he is. It's not possible but he is standing right in front of me but instead of looking like he wanted to see me he looked at me like I was the scum of the earth.
"Oh so now you can pay attention to me? Tell me when was the last time I was on your mind. When you were out at parties? Kissing your boytoy? How about when you were cutting yourself last night. You are pathetic. A disgrace. Why don't you go throw up another meal, maybe then you'll be pretty enough to be worth anyones attention." he remarked venom rolling off his words. Every single one of them felt like a punch in the gut.
"You are the reason your mother is alone. I couldn't bare to look at you anymore. You're a whore, a loser, and certainly no daughter of mine. You should be ashamed. You are the reason I'm dead. You made me do it" He continued. I just stood there tears spilling from my eyes, everyone around us was silent looking at me and sneering into each others ears.Then all of a sudden he was gone. A stood there feeling naked and confused. No one around me seemed to be feeling the same way I was. What the hell is happening to me? I try to make it to the backyard but I keep falling so I just sit on the floor crying.
"Kaya! Kaya drink this!" Scott is above me putting water in my face, I take it and drink the whole bottle gaining some stability and standing up to follow him and Stiles. We circle back to the backyard where everyone is going crazy.
"I can't swim! I can't swim!" Matt yells before someone throws him in the pool. We watch horrified before Jackson pulls him out of the pool. Everyone stands in complete silence as he walks past us giving us an evil glare. Matt is the leader of the kanima.
