Chapter Six

When I wake up Derek is gone, and my head is killing me. I look over at my window seeing all of the glass cleaned up off of the floor, and a black tarp is covering the window. I make a mental note to call someone as I'm getting on the subway today. After a few seconds of looking at the window I climb out of bed, padding over to the kitchen. I push the coffee maker on, silently waiting for the coffee to be done. It's as I wait for my coffee to be done that the door opens and Stiles comes walking in.

His eyes look tired, his whole body actually looks tired but there's something wrong with him. When Stiles got upset or worried his eyebrows creased slightly, and his lips were alway set in a crooked frown. "Are you alright?" He asks me and I finally look up to meet his gaze. My mouth opens but I have not a clue as to what to say to him. There is no way that I can tell him what happened, but also I can't exactly keep it from him. He lives with me, he's my best friend. I shrug my shoulders looking at the ground, soon enough Stiles is walking over to me and wrapping his arms around me.

"Someone threw a rock at my window." I whisper into his shoulder. I hold him tightly, afraid that if I don't he's going to disappear. "Someone broke my window, and and and I screamed, I got so scared t-then it just.... happened." I tell him as he rubs my back. There isn't anything that he can say, nothing that's going to make me feel better. I had lost control of myself again, and neither of us are sure how long it will be until it happens again, or when I'll be able to regain control of my own body. "I'm sorry."

"Lex, it's not your fault, why didn't you call me?" He asks and I shrug. I pull myself away from Stiles and pour myself a cup of coffee.

"Do you want some?" I ask glancing back at him. Stiles shakes his head letting out a yawn.

"I'm going to go to sleep, I'll see you after school." He mumbles, I nod him off hearing him pad down to his room, leaving me to drink my coffee in silence. When i'm done with my drink I walk to the living room, turning on the t.v. The news rings through my ears and I walk over to my bedroom, grabbing my clothes and getting dressed quickly.

My eyes wander over to the tarp, there's a significant temperature change in my room especially by the window. I walk over to it, flicking the plastic with my finger and shudder. I hate the idea that someone would throw a rock at a window, specifically mine, it's a lot for me to process so I decide to push it out of my head and walk out of the room.

I get my shoes on before walking into the bathroom and brushing my teeth. I decide against make-up today, heading out of my house. The hall is quiet, leaving lots of room for me to think, so I put my headphones in and play music to distract myself from thinking.

The wind hits me as I walk out of my building, I wrap myself tighter in my coat to keep from freezing. I walk fast down the street to get out of the cold and to the subway stop faster. As I run down the steps I find myself sighing in relief as I escape the cold. There's only a few minutes until my train comes, so I walk over to a seat and take a sip of the coffee I had put in my travel mug.

"I didn't think you would come today." Derek's voice says quietly, I look over at him almost startled.

"I thought you would stop coming to the subway, beings that you had a car." I point out, sending him a slight glare, one that lets him know my words are serious but I'm still kidding.

"I came to see you." He shrugs leaning back into the cement wall. I take a deep breath biting my lip.

"Did you put that tarp up?"

"Oh yeah, you went to sleep so fast I just decided to clean up and leave." He tells me and I nod. "Are you alright, you know after what happened?" He asked me and I shrug.
