My knight in shining armour (teen wolf) (Derek & Stella )

Ch 17

ISAAC'S POV

I walked in Derek's room to see Stella sitting on the edge of the bed hands on her lap and her head bowed down.

"You okay?" I asked her sounding as gentle as possible. I'm not so good in these situations.

She cleared her throat and said "uhm yea..I'm sorry" I noticed her cheeks and nose are tinted red from crying and her eyes are still tearful.
"It's okay, don't be. You wanna talk about it?" She seemed broken. I wonder what caused all of this.

"I'm f-fine.. I just- I remembered something..and I.. Ugh I'm sorry!" She tried hard to speak while fighting her tears. Couple of them escaped her eyes. She wiped them away with the back of her hand.
I sat next to her.

"Hey..it's okay. Really" I placed my arm around her shoulders and pulled her in for a side hug. Her head resting on my shoulder.
I put my hand in my pocket and touched Stella's phone. I forgot that Derek had asked me to give it to her.

"Here's your phone. Derek asked me to give it to you" I handed it to her.
"Oh, thanks." She put it in her pocket.

We remained quiet for few moments before she spoke
"Isaac, can I ask you something?"

"Absolutely. Go ahead!" I tell her.
"Why were your eyes yellow earlier?" She asked me. Shit! She saw me! What am I supposed to tell her? Derek will kill me if I say anything..

"Well.. You see.. There are.." I began trying to explain. Something interrupted me thank god.

"What did you do to her?" Angry Derek barged in the room full of rage. Why does everyone always blame me?!
"Derek.." Stella said in his croaked voice.

"Nothing! I swear!" I tell Derek. I notice him staring at my arm around her. Uh-oh!! He's jealous?! I remove my arm fast.

"Get out!" Derek tells me. I have to listen to him if I don't want my ass kicked. He'll calm down later. I got up to leave. When I felt Stella grabbing my hand stopping me. Derek instantly glared at our hands. I look at her.
"Thanks Isaac" she murmured.
"My pleasure" I smile at her and ruffled her hair then headed for the door to leave. Avoiding eye contact with angry Derek. I closed the door to leave them be.

"Man he's so into that girl" I tell Aiden and Ethan as I plopped on the couch.
"Obviously" Aiden said.
"I hope it works out. It's been a long time since he was actually happy" Ethan tells us.
"Man I'm tired" Aiden yawns.
He lied down on the couch and fell asleep after only a minute. Its around 8 am. I might as well get a good nap, it's been a long stressful night. I lay my head on Ethan's lap and closed my eyes.

DEREK'S POV

I stood there furious at Isaac. I specifically told them to just keep an eye on her not to flirt and what not. Stella is sitting at the edge of the bed waiting for me to say something. But I'm too deep in thought deciding how to get back at Isaac for holding her like that. And thinking what if she liked Isaac! I can't seem to calm down. I knew I'm jealous I'm not even gonna try to deny it..

"Uhmm.." Stella broke the silence. I lift my head to look at her.
"You're back.." she whispered.

I wanted to go hug her, tell her I liked her, tell her to never leave me.. But I was clouded with anger right now I should leave. I don't want to hurt her or scare her off.
"I gotta go.." I told her. I think she barely even heard me.

"No.. Stay.." she whispered back.
No please don't ask me that! I can't I don't know if I can contain my anger right now I'm all tensed after all that Peter shit and now Isaac.

Stella's POV

I gathered every bit of bravery I had to ask him to stay.
"No.. Stay.." I whispered. He seemed distant.
I wanted to start a conversation since he's too quiet.
"Your friends seem nice.." I blurted out.
