CHAPTER FORTY-ONE
VEGGIE BURGERS AND SOLVING MURDERS

||||||||

"You sure you don't wanna be with Scott right now?", Stiles questioned me for, like, the umpteenth time now. It's been a few days since Scott and I... took a break? I wasn't sure on what to call it and I didn't want to talk about it either. Every second of the day, the words he said drilled itself into my mind and I'd go off into a weird hallucination, where the entire scene replays itself in front of me. Someone usually snaps me out of it and I was really glad that it hasn't happened to me while I was alone yet because I'd probably be stuck in the hallucination for hours on end. I tried push the thought of him to the back of my head but that boy stayed on my mind twenty-four seven. There was no lie that I still have feelings for Scott and most likely always will. This thing that we're going through right now was just an obstacle that we had to beat together to go back to the way it was. I constantly told myself that he didn't mean any of those words but the way he looked at me when he said them... it was like he hated me.

There's a possibility that it was just a heat of the moment thing and, hopefully, that's true because losing Scott wasn't something I prepared myself for just yet. Sure, I'm the one that told him I might not ever forgive him for what he did but that was me pouring out my emotions all at once without thinking... which is probably what happened to him when he snapped at me in the library. I've been trying to act like I didn't miss Scott but, on the inside, all I thought about was him. His kiss, his touch, his smell... his love for me. I wanted to just stay right here and hold onto him forever. This fight we're going through won't last forever and I had high hopes on that.

I've been hanging with Stiles and Mini a lot lately, well, hanging with them when Scott wasn't around. All I wanted was someone to talk to fill the void of Scott's place. But, when I told Stiles that I wanted to hang with him and Mini today on whatever they were doing, I wasn't aware that we were going to stop at a veggie restaurant and end up eating with his father in his Sheriff's office.

"I swear Stiles, you saw and heard what happened", I told him as I watched him grab a container out of the bag and hand it to his father as he nodded.

"Yeah, but still", he handed a container to Mini, to which she growled at in annoyance that we were eating healthily. "It's you and Scott."

Sheriff agreed, "Ever since you guys were kids, it was always you and Scott that were inseparable." I started to nervously play with my fingers as he continued, "You can't let little things like these get in the way of young love, Anabelle."

My head snapped quickly in confusion, "Love? We've never said it in that way..."

"That doesn't mean it isn't there", he responded, his gaze leaving me and onto his food. I appreciatively smiled at him for his words when his expression became disappointed with the food that was placed in front of him. "Oh, what the hell is this?"
