BAD INTENTIONS | SCOTT MCALL

Seven

"Nicole, do you have any boy you're looking at?" Lydia asks me being as nosy as she was in the 6th grade

"Well you haven't changed a bit" I tell her and we all laugh

"Come on, tell us" Allison says and I sigh

"I actually have no clue but Isaac seems like a good guy but I don't know, I'm still trying to get over someone" I tell them

"Who?" She asks

"This boy named Brett, he used to go to the private school across from my boarding school, I dated him for awhile well I think we dated but I don't know because we used to do a lot of things couples did, we even used to kiss but we never classified it as dating each other" I tell them and they laugh

"Sweetie, you guys were boyfriend and girlfriend. You don't need to classify that" Lydia tells me and I let out a long breath "So is their anyone else besides Isaac and this Brett guy?"

I deciding wether or not to tell about Peter and how he showed up out of the blue this morning to ask me about his looks, like what freaking dumbass but I'm not going to lie. He is actually really attractive like really attractive, he smoking hot. He could get it, if I was like ten years older that what I am now. "Well- Actually no it doesn't matter" I tell them

"No say it, who is it?" Allison asks

"It's- It's um, P-" But I am cut off by Lydia cell ringing, saved by the bell. She sighs when she reads the name on the cell

"Hey Stiles, Yeah, we're just about to walk into a movie, you know, the popcorn and- Okay" She says then puts the phone on speaker

"Okay, look, Scott's still hurt"

"What do you mean, still? He's not healing?" Allison asks

"No, he's not healing, I think he's actualling getting worse, the blood's turning a black colour"

"What's wrong with him?" Lydia asks

"What's wrong with him? I don't... Do I have a PHD in Lycanthropy? How am I supposed to know that?"

"We need to get him of the bus" Allisons says

"And take him where, a hospital?" I ask

"If he's dying, yeah" Allison says "Stiles, there's a rest area about a mile up. Tell coach to pull over"

"Yeah I've been trying"

"Well reason with him" I suggest

"Reason? Have you met this guy?"

"Just try something" Allison says resting her chin on the sterring wheel

-

Minutes later we are at a rest stop helping Scott into the toilet. I honestly hope he's not dying becasue if he is what are we going to do, more importantly how are we explaining this to coach, he'll loose his shit if he finds out one of his best players on the tem are dead because he was slashed by Alpha claws, actually coach wouldn't even belive that to be honest. Allison and Stiles rest Scott down on the floor gently, lifting his shirt up Allison gasps at the black bloods and giant gashes in his side.

"Oh my gosh, why didn't you tell us?" Allison asks

"Sorry" Scott says with a small and weak smile

"Just give us a second, okay?" Allison nods then comes back towards us "This shouldn't be happening, I've seen him heal from worse than this"

"Okay, what do we do then? Do we just call and abulance?" Stiles asks

"What if it's too late... What if they can't help?" Allison says

"Well we gotta do something" Stiles says glancing over at the wolf on the floor

"You know it could be psychological" Lydia says

"What do you mean, like, psychosomatic?" Stiles asks

"Somatoformic, a physical illness from psychogenic cause" Lydia says but Stiles doesn't understand

"Stiles, it's all in his head" I say

"All in his head? Because of Derek, he's not letting himself heal 'cause Derek died" Stiles says and I am so confused as well but I understand

"So what are we going to do, if it's all in his head?" I ask then Lydia starts digging through her purse

"Stitch him up" Lydia says as she holds up a sewing kit and we all give her a look of dielief "I'm serious. Maybe all he needs to do is believe it's healing"

-

Moments later Allison is sterilising a needle as Stiles puts paper towel on the floor, Lydia and I are standing in the back unsure of what to do at this point because this may not work and Scott could die. I honestly hope he doesn't die because I've known him for so long and it doesn't seem right if he were to go because he holds this group together. "He's gonna need another shirt. Where's his bag?" Allison asks

"Um, I'm gonna get it. I hate needles anyway, so... Uh, do you know what you're doing?" Stiles asks

"Yeah, my father taught me" Allison answers

"I mean, how fast are you gonna... I mean, the bus, like, the bus could leave" Stiles says

"Okay, just make sure it doesn't leave" Allison says

"We can help, come on" I say and Lydia, Stiles and I run out the bathroom

"We'll stand near the bus and gaurd it" Stiles says and I hit him on the arm

"Yeah because standing near the bus is going to make it not leave" I say sarcastically and her purses his lips

"it's worth a shot" He says and I give up so now we're standing near the bus then we hear a whistle

"Let's go! Back on the bus!" Coach shouts

I look at Stiles with my arms crossed "Stand near the bus, you said, it won't leave, you said, idiot" I say and he rolls his eyes at me

"Okay, we'll stall coach and Lydia, you go see if Scott's okay" Stiles says and Lydia nods while walking away. I turn my head and see a crowd of people gathered around something, it's Isaac and he's beating the crap out of Ethan with so much force.

"Isaac! Isaac! Isaac!" I hear coach yell but Isaac continues to hit him

"Isaac!" I yell but nothing that's when I see Scott coming through the crowd

"ISAAC!" He yells and I quickly rush over to him, pulling him away from Ethan by his hand while he looks at Scott

"Okay everyone back on the bus!" I hear coach yell and I let go of his hand but he grabs it again, leading me onto the bus. weird.

-

Sitting on this bus with Isaac next to me made me think, does he have a crush on me? I could feel his stare into my soul and I don't know what to do, I mean he is really sweet and he seems like a nice guy, but I don't know if I'm ready to get back into the dating thing "Are your starring?" I ask him with a smirk playing on my lips as I turn to him

"It's hell creepy by the way" I tell him with the same smirk on my lips then we both just laugh

I hear his small chuckle and then he says "I wasn't starring, I was admiring" I shake my head

"There's nothing too admire, I mean look at me" I say and turn my head to the front

He clears his throat and says "I am looking at you" I turn to him with a smile on my face. Isaac is so sweet and amazing but I'm not looking for anything as I mentioned earlier. Though Peter is one attractive man- no I'm seventeen that is wrong and irresponsible of me to think. Pull yourself together Nicole.

"Isaac, I'm going to be honest with you" I tell him and I feel his hand move in mine "I'm not looking for a romance, I just got out of a romantic situation and I-"

"No, I get it. We can take it slow, really slow" He says with a smile and return it, placing my head on his shoulder, enjoying this bus ride.
