Sterek ~ A Second Chance (Sequel to Last Breath) [COMPLETED]

11~Doubts

"That's it, I quit" Derek announced storming into Erica's apartment one day and plonking himself on the couch after getting himself a beer from the fridge and popping it open

"Excuse you!!" Erica exclaimed, Derek looked up to see she was in the kitchen with two other girls, who he was guessing were her roommates or classmates

"I am not in the mood right now to be yelled at" Derek said taking a sip of his beer

"Who's the hottie?" Derek heard one of the girls whisper to Erica

"This is Derek, who should be at his apartment at the moment, and where the hell is Luca?!" Erica had grown attached to the little boy in the past 5 months they had been in New York, they always hung out at Derek's apartment, and when they did spend their time at Erica's her roommates were never there

"He's fine, one of Michael's old colleges is babysitting him" Derek felt like throwing up saying his name

"Okay, so why are you here? And what are you quitting?" she asked drying her hands from washing the dishes as she told her friends to give them some space

"Everything" he said taking another sip of his beer "I'm a terrible student" he took another chug "A brother" another chug "And I'm pretty sure I'm on the road to being a single guy" he confessed taking another sip of his beer

She ripped the beer bottle from his hands and put it on the table "What do you mean? Since when have you and Stiles been arguing?"

"We're in a long distance relationship Erica, it was bound to happen at some point"

"Look summer break is coming up soon okay, and once you two see each other you're going to remember back to this moment and realise how stupid you were to think about all of this" she said

Derek nodded, but what he didn't know is that; at this moment, his boyfriend was having the exact same conversation.

"You guys have stuck together through an abusive childhood, the nightmares, literal hell invading on your lives, and you're saying you can't handle being a few miles from each other?!" Scott exclaimed through the phone, almost deafening Stiles

"I just don't know if I can handle the distance anymore, the different schedules we have, the late night calls that only last roughly half an hour"

"Dude, you both are gonna see each other soon" Scott reminded him

"Yeah but what happens after that, it's only for two weeks, and then it's another long time period where we can't see each other, and it starts all over again" Stiles told him "And how long is this going to go on for huh, I mean Derek wants to be a lawyer, that's gonna take at least 3 to 4 years right, and me? I want to be an FBI Agent Scott!!"

"Yeah, that's been your dream for years, but what has that got to do with anything?"

"FBI Agents can't be accepted until their 23 years old Scott-"

"At least you're doing all your training now, and then you could get accepted maybe once you turn 23" Scott said trying to get Stiles to see the bright side of things

"It's another 5 years till I'm 23 Scott, there's no telling where we'll be by then"

"If you're having doubts about your relationship with Derek this early on then you should make a decision on what you're going to do, because it isn't fair stringing him along if you no longer feel the same way for him"

"Ugh....we've only been apart 5 months" Stiles stated, hating the fact that it's been so little time and he's already feeling this way

"Yeah and you have years to go man, so that decision you make will make up the next few years of your life"

Stiles took in what Scott said and after a quick goodbye tried to come to a decision on what to do. He hated himself for having these feelings, he knew that he should be talking it through with Derek if he was having doubts about their relationship, but the thought of having to do it over the phone and having to listen to his pained voice killed him.

He went over to the window of his student housing dorm that he was sharing with a couple of guys that were doing courses at the same place as him.

"Dude are you done hogging all the internet" Theo; one of the guys he has to share this place with, came into his room

"Yeah" Stiles said bluntly giving him a short look then focusing his gave back outside

"Infatuated with that window" Stiles gave him a look as if to say 'what on earth are you on about', as Theo elaborated "You're always sitting by the window, and looking far off into the distance, and one day I'm telling ya a bird is gonna come crashing into that glass and scare the crap outta you"

As if by coincidence a crow crashed into the window, just as Theo had said making Stiles stumble backwards. "I can handle werewolf's, but witches just freak me the hell out"

"Are you seriously calling me a witch?" Stiles didn't answer his question "Cause I have you know I know some good looking witches"

"Witches are real?" He couldn't believe it, yeah he believed that there was spells out there, but actual witches with the long nose, pointy hat, and moles

"No, well not anymore that is" Theo smiles at Stiles' gullibleness "I found that when I was running in the woods and fell in a hole" he looked at Theo wondering how fast and weird their conversations escalated "But hey that's how I met my boyfriend so I ain't complaining"

"I....I'm not even gonna ask" Stiles said waving him off and plonked himself onto the bed

Stiles declared that the weirdest experience he had ever had his entire life. How could thinking about his life with his boyfriend escalate to a bird's death, witches, and holes. Stiles groaned to himself as he buried his head into his pillow trying to forget about tonight.

I know this chapter was really weird, and the conversation Stiles and Theo had had nothing to do with the story at all, but I didn't know what to write and I was stuck on only 600 words. Anyways I hope you still enjoyed it.

Would you like Theo to be a reoccurring character, and have his bf show up?? Let me know
