Before you ask, yes. I am crazy. This is my fifth story that i'm starting and updating on a every second/third day basis to the best that I can. I feel like the inspiration is flowing so I got to write this down now! It's looking like it's only going to be 5-10 chapters long but we will see! I'm using my OC Ashlee McCall from my most successful fic 'The Hounds Of Hell Are Getting Closer' because she's my favourite :) Also, the Shrieff (John) and Scott's Mum (Melissa) are together so the two families now live together. So Ashlee is Scott's sister and practically Stiles' as well.
AGES:
Scott and Stiles are 17 and still in school. Ashlee is 21. Lydia and Kira are 20. Allison and Isaac are 17 as well, go to school and Scott is with Allison. Cora is 18 but doesn't live in Beacon Hills. Derek is 22 and Laura is 25.
No supernatural, all human AU! Well, let's see where this idea takes me, hope you stay for the ride!
Ashlee's p.o.v
"Here they are" I say, walking into the lounge where John and Mum are watching Stiles and Scott play Xbox. All 4 sets of eyes land on me.
"Is that the agreement?" Mum asks, Scott pausing their game so they can listen to me.
"Yup" I say, popping the 'p'.
"So you've talked to the flatmates and everything?" John asks.
"No, not yet. I'm meeting her and her brother for lunch. If all goes well, I can move in straight away" I grin. I'm 21, it's about time I moved out. I've found a really nice loft not too far from home that want a flatmate around my age. All I know is the older sister is called Laura and she has a brother that I will be meeting too, he'll be living with us as well. If he's anything like his sister then I am completely okay with that.
"I'm happy for you" Scott smiles at me.
"Aw, thanks baby bro" I say, walking over and scruffing his hair. I scruff Stiles' when he looks at me expectantly. Mum comes over and hugs me.
"You know i'm proud of you but..I don't think I can let you go just yet" she says. I hug her back.
"I'm 21 Mum, come on" I chuckle.
"Yeah, yeah, I know" she says, pulling back.
"We're both proud of you" John says, getting up and throwing an arm over my shoulders. I nudge his ribs and smile.
"I better go get ready, i'm meeting them in a couple hours" I say. They nod and go back to what they were doing as I walk up the stairs. I decide to have a long shower, think through smart things to say to Laura, scared she won't let me move in. It's not that I don't like living with my family anymore, i'm just like everyone my age. We want a space to call our own, some privacy that won't be invaded and just to see what it's like to move out. John and Mum have both made it clear that I can come home if things don't work out which i'm thankful for but hopefully, things work out. I get out of the shower and dry off my hair. I throw on some light make-up, mascara and lipgloss. I pull on some black skinny jeans and a plain white singlet. I complete my outfit with a pair of casual black wedges. There. I look casual but tidy and professional at the same time. The exact look i'm going for. I look at myself in the mirror, psyching myself up. I can do this. I'm an adult, this is what adults do. I take a deep breath and pick up my bag, throwing my phone in along with my wallet and my keys to my blue Toyota Corolla 1994. Crappy car, I know, but it gets me from A to B and it's affordable to run. I'm currently working at the animal clinic with Scott. Deaton pays well and he's so Obi-Wan Kenobi I can't help but like him. "Okay, i'm out! Wish me luck!" I call over my shoulder as I make for the door.
"Good luck!" my family calls back. I smile and jump in my car. Let's do this.
..
Oh god. Oh god. Oh god. I did not realise Laura's brother was so attractive. Hell, I didn't realise she was so pretty! If I swung that way she'd be in trouble. I'm trying my hardest not to stare at Derek but it's hard when the guy's watching my every move, trying to figure me out.
"Well, I don't see why we would say no" Laura says with a smile. "You have a job, good credit rating, you graduated from high school..you don't sound like someone that would cause us trouble"
"I'm not" I smile.
"Derek?" she asks her brother, leaving the decision in his hands. Please god say believe i'm not as troublesome as I actually am. Actually, that's all Stiles fault, he's the one that wanted to just 'have a look' at that evidence and-
"I think you're right Laura" Derek says, his studying eyes finally softening. I sigh in relief. "When do you want to move in?"
"Oh my god, thank you both so much" I say with a huge smile. "Tomorrow? Is that okay?"
"That's fine. Will you need help?" Laura asks.
"No, i've got two younger brothers that are eager to help, thank you for the offer though" I say. "Oh..my brothers they.."
"They what?" Laura asks.
"They think me moving out means they can drop in whenever they want and say hello and i'm sorry, i'm rambling, I ramble when i'm nervous and-" Laura puts her hand over mine.
"It's fine" she says. "Your family are welcome over whenever they want" I smile at her. "We have a younger sister, Cora, she's a little younger than you, just turned 18. She comes and stays when she can. She lives in Columbia but she makes time to come visit. So, i'm fine with your family coming over if you're okay with our sister coming over"
"I'm totally fine with that" I didn't think it could but my grin, it gets bigger.
"Okay, well we need to go but give me a call tomorrow to say you're coming and we'll look forward to meeting your younger brothers" she says, all 3 of us standing up. I nod and shake both of their hands.
"I'll see you both tomorrow then" I say. We leave and I head home. I have some great news for the family.

Laura's p.o.v
The car ride home is quiet..too quiet.
"Hey, Derek" I say, snapping my fingers in his face. "You okay?" I ask him.
"I'm fine" he says, looking out the window. Derek's having relationship probems with his girlfriend Jennifer Blake. Argh. She's just..argh. If they break up, that'll be a good thing. She's controlling and probably the most annoying person i've ever meet. I can't tell Derek this though because he'll get upset and most probably angry. I don't want him to hate me.
"Whatever you say" I sigh. It's silent for another 10 minutes so I decide i'm the one that's going to have to make the conversation. "I like Ashlee, she seems nice, down to earth. I hope this works out" Derek doesn't say anything, doesn't even acknowledge I was talking. I huff angerily and pull over, slamming on the brakes. Derek's head snaps to me.
"What the hell Laura?!" he says.
"What's wrong with you?" I ask him.
"Stay out of it" he says, shaking his head.
"You're my brother, i'm not going to 'stay out of it'. It's Jennifer, isn't it? You've been moping around all week, if she makes you feel this shitty then break up with her!" I can't help the words that blurt out of my mouth.
"You don't get it" he says.
"Do act like i've never been in a serious relationship before Derek. I'm 3 years older than you and I know what it feels like to break up with someone. But trust me, you will find someone else-"
"Can you just take me home?" he sighs. My lips tighten. Damn Jennifer for turning my little brother into some quiet, sullen loner. It took a long time for him to come out of his shell again after Kate and the fire. Now she's gone and thrown him right back in it, locked it and thrown the key away. But I should stay out of it. But i'm his sister, I can't. "Laura?" Derek asks. I pull out alot faster than I should and keep my mouth shut the whole way home. I don't want to say anything i'll regret. From the corner of my eye, I see Derek texting someone. After a few minutes he gets a reply. He lets out a long sigh and it takes everything in me not to slap some sense into that boy. I know it's Jennifer and I know she's being her usual bitchy self. What Derek sees or ever saw in the 24 year old student teacher..i'll never know.

Ashlee's p.o.v
"I got it! I'm in! A is moving out tomorrow!" I sing, dancing into the lounge.
"Really? That quick? Congrates!" Scott says, jumping up and hugging me.
"Congrates A" Stiles smiles.
"Thank you dear brother" I grin. "Where the olds at?" I ask, looking around.
"Both left for work 10 minutes ago" Scott says. I pull out my phone and text them both, telling them the good news. Both of their replies are positive and I finally feel like things are starting to go right for me. Little Ashy McCall is growing up!
