Everything was going terribly for my brother and for my dad. Jackson and his father filed a restraining order against Scott and Stiles for the whole kidnapping thing, which they played off as a terrible prank on the jackass.
And it wasn't looking good for my dad because of what Stiles had done — stealing the police transport vehicle and all that.
I needed someone to talk to and I didn't know what I was doing as I made my way to the train depot.
I knew his betas were in school and I just needed to talk to him. He knew more than my brother and I actually wanted to keep it that way— I didn't want Stiles to worry about me more than he already did because he had other things to worry about.
The sound of my heels clacking down the staircase drew Derek out of the small train car in the middle of the room. He was confused when he saw me and he closed the distance between us, meeting me halfway.
"Sarah? What are you doing here?"
I swallowed the lump in my throat. My heart was racing in my chest so fast that it was almost difficult to breathe "I just...I need someone to talk to," I whispered. "I got into my car and...and I wound up here."
He took my hand and laced our fingers together, making my heart go haywire while he pulled me into the train car.
He sat me down on one of the lesser broken seats and he knelt down in front of me, taking both of my hands in his.
"What's wrong?"
I looked into his eyes and I couldn't hide my tears anymore. Swallowing the lump forming in the back of my throat, a few tears fell down my cheeks.
"I...I feel like everything is slipping out of my control and I...I'm afraid that someone I love will get hurt."
He tightened his hold on my hands and shifted closer to me. I curled my fingers into his hands as more tears started to fall down my cheeks.
"That won't happen, Sarah," he promised me.
I sucked in a breath and shook my head, "You don't...You don't know what I've done to protect my family."
"Then tell me. Help me understand."
More tears fell down my face, "I...I don't know if I can," I whimpered. "No one scares me more than he does, Derek."
"Who?" he asked, his eyebrows furrowing together. "Are you talking about...Gerard Argent?"
I lowered my head and released a small sob, slowly nodding. I picked it back up to look at him, tears flowing down my face. I hated that I was crying, but looking at Derek and opening my mouth just busted the flood gates and the tears started coming. It was like I couldn't hold them back anymore the moment I laid eyes on him.
