My Anchor || Stiles Stilinski

Chapter 22: Ice Pick

A/N: Been a while huh? Welp, I'm not dead. Sorry, huge writers block.

Alex's P.O.V

I woke up the next morning on the couch at the house. As I was coming too, I remembered the events of last night. Isaac in a holding cell, Isaac not in a holding cell, Isaac fully wolfed-out attacking Stiles and I, Isaac slashing me in the stomach, Derek Alpha roaring his ass, Stiles taking me here and fixing me up. I looked down and the shirt I had on had no blood on it. There was a bandage around my lower abdomen and instead of having shoes or socks on, I had a blanket covering my body and a pillow under my head. 'Stiles fixing me up'. Stiles. I heard a snore to my left and saw Stiles sitting, well more like slouching, on the chair facing the couch I was on. He stayed here all night for me? That's so sweet.

"Stiles." I called out to him quietly, my voice strained and throat sore from the night before. He mumbled a small, indistinguishable sound back. "Stiles!" I called a bit louder this time and he made another sound, this one easier to distinguish.

"Mmm, Alex..." Holy sh*t.

"STILES!" I yelled at him and he finally woke up. Well jumped up.

"Alex, you're awake! You're okay! Ha. Are you okay? You feeling alright?" He asked concerned.

"Yeah Stiles I'm good. It's all healed I think. Thanks to you." I swear I saw him blush a little at my words. Don't be stupid. The little voice in my head told me. Why would he do that when he's in love with Lydia? I looked at the clock that was on the table near the couch.

7:57am

School starts at 8:15. Sh*t.

"We're gonna be late for school, come on lets go." Stiles pointed at his clothes. "Just borrow some of Dereks." Stiles quickly runs up the stairs and into Dereks room. He comes out 3 minutes later with a grey shirt on the looks about 3 sizes too big for him but I say it looks good. I get changed quickly and we both get into his car and he drives us to school. Two question were running around my brain in circles. Why did Stiles stay the whole night? And, where was Derek?

Our first lesson was gym. We had the "wonderful privilege" to be climbing the wall today. Coaches words, not mine. Scott and Allison were climbing at the moment while the rest of us stand at the bottom where the mat is either talking to friends or staring into space. No one was actually paying attention. They quickly finished and Coach called the next two people.

" All right, next two. Stilinski, Erica, let's go. The wall." Stiles and Erica, an epileptic blonde haired shy girl, went up to the wall and got hooked up by me. I was holding the wires to make sure that everyone was safe. They went up and Stiles was up and down by the time Erica was halfway up. She looked down and started freaking out. " Erica, y - you're fine. Just - Just kick off from the wall. Th - There's a mat and Alex to catch you."

"There you go, nice and easy." I encouraged her as I held her weight while she dropped down. She smiled and thanked me once I unhooked her and she was safe on the ground. Everyone went to the change rooms when the bell went and then to lunch. I was sitting at the cafeteria table that Scott, Stiles and I always sit at waiting for them because they take a way longer time than me to get changed when I felt it. I don't exactly know what 'it' is but I knew I had to help someone. I heard a heavy breathing coming from the gym and I ran. When I got there, Erica was halfway up the wall and seizing, holding on for dear life. I ran up to her before she could fall and caught her in my arms, I put her on her side so she couldn't choke and waited for her to stop. She passed out. I got my phone out to call Mrs. McCall to send an ambulance to pick Erica up. Once That was sorted I went back to the cafeteria and told the boys what had happened.
