chapter fifty four.

The heels of Ella's timberlands clicked on the tile floor of the school as she walked, trying to find Liam. She huffed, brushing a hand through her hair and stopping. "Scott, stop. Please stop." The sound of her twin's voice made Ella turn, seeing Stiles walk to Scott and point at Liam. "You, you, we're trying to help you, you little runt," Stiles said. "By kidnapping him?" Ella asked as she walked into the hall, Liam smiling lightly at the sight of the blue eyed girl. "Just to clarify, Scott kidnapped him. Okay? I aided and abetted," Stiles corrected, Ella rolling her eyes at him. "Liam, I've gone through this before. Something's happening to you. Something big," Scott said. "Nothing's happening to me," Liam said, ripping off the bandage that was on his forearm to reveal no bite, "Nothing."

Liam said a goodbye to Ella as he passed her, Ella smiling and waving lightly. She then turned to the boys she loved dearly, glaring daggers at them, "Are you trying to scare him even more? The kid is fifteen!" "That kid is transforming into a werewolf and doesn't want to listen to us," Stiles said to his sister. Ella looked at Scott, "Give him time to process everything. Soon he's going to see that the bite and blood is gone. If he wants your help, he'll ask, if not; leave him alone." Ella began to walk away when Scott called after her. She turned around, "What?" Scott smiled and pressed a soft kiss to her lips, "You're going to be a good mom."

Ella pulled away, "I am a good mom."

"I'm not sharing my basement," Malia shook her head. The 'gang' stood in between buses, discussing how they would handle Liam during the full moon tonight. His first full moon. "Actually, it's my basement," Lydia told her, "And my mom noticed how you tore it up last time." "All right, she's still learning," Stiles defended Malia. "But, we're going to use the boathouse for Liam. It's got support beams. We can chain him to one of them," Scott nodded, wrapping an arm around Ella. "But how do we get him out to the lake house if he doesn't trust us?" Kira asked. "I say if it keeps him from murdering someone we chloroform the little bastard and throw him in the lake," Stiles said, using hand motions to emphasize his words.

Ella's jaw dropped and she furrowed her brows. "I'm in," Malia agreed, causing Ella to let out a squeak. "We're not killing or kidnapping him!" Ella exclaimed, waving her hands around. "Then let's be smarter," Lydia said, "We tell him there's a party and invite him." "So, you're going to ask out a freshman?" Stiles asked with raised brows. "No, I'm done with teenage boys," Lydia said, "But, if we're playing a trick on someone, we'll have to use someone who's closer to him." Everyone turned to look at Ella who had been looking at her boots.

Ella looked up, looking around at everyone, "Who? Me? No way. Not me." "Yes, you," Lydia nodded. Ella shook her head, "I'm like his mom. What should I say? 'Hey, Liam, we're going to Chuck-E-Cheese!'" "He'll say yes to you because you're hot," Scott said, looking at his girlfriend. Ella blushed a deep red before she looked down at herself then back up at her friends, brother, and boyfriend. "I am hot, aren't I? I'm a hot mom! Psh, get it? Instead of 'I'm a cool mom' like from Mean Girls? I'm a hot mom! No? Nothing? Okay."

Ella sighed as she walked up to Liam who had just gotten out of class. To him, time seemed to slow down and wind blew through Ella's hair as she slowly walked up to him. Her shirt rode up a tiny bit to reveal some skin, the shirt tight too. His eyebrows raised in attraction. He had began to stare so deeply that he didn't notice that she had stopped in front of him. "Liam," Ella said, waving her hand in his face, "Liam." Ella snapped her fingers, "Liam!" Liam shook his head, "Uh, yeah, yeah? I was definitely was not staring." Ella laughed, "It's okay." "You're really pretty," Liam blurted out, "Sorry." Ella looked over Liam's shoulder to see his friend Mason, she believed, watching them with wide eyes.
