Forgotten (Stalec)

Chapter Two

Alec's POV

I am woken up by Jace screaming in my ear.

"Dude we're here. You've been asleep for like two days. How long has it been since you've had a good night's sleep?" Should I tell him?

"Not since the night that Stiles left." His mouth dropped in shock.

"Dude that was two years ago!! How've you not had a good night's sleep since then?" Then I gave him the dirtiest look I had ever given someone before.

"I don't know Jace. Maybe it's because he was the love of my life. The only person I felt I could confide in. The person who I used to wake up to spooning. That's how I used to sleep and now that's why I can't anymore. I need him Jace. More than you could ever know." He looked at me shocked and then pulled me into a hug.

"I want him back too Alec. We all do. You just have to be patient. We'll get him back."

I wanted to believe he was right. Trust me I really did but I had my doubts. We literally could've came all this way just to find out that Stiles might not remember us at all. That's a huge load of pressure. Anxiety levels are building. Yup they are definitely building.

"So you said we're here. Where exactly is here?" I asked genuinely curious. Like I knew that we were in Beacon Hills but I don't recognize the area.

"It's the motel we're staying at. It's all I could book on this short of notice?" Izzy stated clearly annoyed. Probably because she's been sitting in a car with a bunch of annoying people who can't stay still.

Obviously not including myself. I was asleep the whole ride and I'm Izzy's brother so therefore she can't hate me.

"So what are we going to do about Stiles?" Clary finally spoke. Honestly I forgot she was there.

Somehow she knew exactly what I was thinking though and glared at me. I took that as my time to say the plan.

"We're going undercover as high school students." That just made everyone groan. Even Jace who I had already told the plan on the way here.

"Come on guys we need to be able to have a chance to get to talk to him so this is the best way to do that." They then reluctantly nodded and went into the motel rooms that we had booked. Simon and Izzy, Clary and Jace, and me and myself.

Okay wow that sounded depressing.

Well I needed to be by myself anyway. Just being so close to him but not being with him is driving me nuts. How I lasted these past two years without him is beyond me.

As soon as I laid down on the bed I got right back up again. I really did want to sleep but I knew I wasn't going to be able to.

Flashback

I jolted up in bed covered in a thin layer of sweat. Nightmares got bad on some nights and I guess that was just one of them.

"Alec are you alright?" Stiles asked groggily as he rubbed his eyes and sat up as well.

Almost immediately I felt really guilty for waking him up.

"You were sleeping weren't you? I'm so sorry that I woke you up." I immediately apologized. He made it real clear real fast though that I didn't need to apologise.

"I wasn't sleeping.." He said as he yawned and fought sleep.

I made the uh huh sure face and laughed slightly. It was really sweet though that he was pretending to not be tired because I had a nightmare.

You can't help but love him.

"Stiles." I said as I lightly pushed his head back down to the pillow,"you're exhausted and you need sleep. We can talk about this in the morning." He looked like he hadn't slept in days and even though he was fighting sleep to stay up with me I knew exactly how to get him to fall back asleep.

I pressed a soft kiss to his temple and he was out like a light. Actually he might have already fallen back asleep before that, but I'm going to choose to think that I was the reason he was getting some sleep.

"Goodnight Stiles." I said quietly to which I got nothing but I small mumble in return to.

Once again I laughed slightly and pulled Stiles towards me so he was the little spoon.

Then from there I rested my head on the pillow and fell asleep.

Flashback ended

Just thinking about the memories make me sad. I know that I should be happy that he is living a better life but I don't know. I just feel....I feel empty. Like a part of me is missing that I can't get back until I'm with him again. The him that remembers everything. Even though honestly if he falls in love with me and doesn't remember I'd be okay just hurt. I'll take Stiles anyway that I can have him in my life.

One version of Stiles is better than no Stiles at all right?

Yeah I'm going to agree with myself on this one and say that's a fact. If it isn't then I don't even know anymore.

"Well I guess tomorrow is day one of trying to get Stiles go remember me." Who am I kidding? He's probably happy here. A life away from the institute. With Stiles luck though he probably is in just as much trouble here than he was there. 

Stiles is literally a danger magnet. It will all find its way to him eventually. Unless someone is there to help and protect him from it. Although I doubt Stiles even without his memories would need the protection.

Or at least I'm hoping that's what the case in. You never know with him.

As I lay down again and close my eyes the anxiety starts to slowly go away as I hear my memories bring me one word from the person I needed to hear the most.

"Goodnight"
