Family is priceless~ Book one

Almost immediately Thalissa is stumbling down the stands as coach starts yelling. "Don't move! Don't touch him!" His cries are frantic and barely heard over the mass of chaos.

"I'm okay, Coach. I'm alright." Liam quickly dismisses everyone's worry, but then as he tries to stand he collapses with a cry of pain. "Ah! I think it's my leg."

And then Thalissa's brother is there with Scott, lifting the boy up. "I think we better get him to the nurse," he quickly points out.

"Liam," Thalissa breaths as she reaches him, eyeing the awful way his leg drags limply.

Coach starts yelling again as Thalissa hurries after the boys. "You guy's take a lap. Run around... Start running around the field!" He gestures wildly.

"What the hell did you think you were doing?" Thalissa yelled at the boys as they neared the edge of the field. "That was completely unnecessary!"

Stiles glances at her as he struggled with Liam. "We didn't mean to Lissa."

"I'm fine, really," Liam assures them all, but Thalissa doesn't buy it at all.

She quickly hurries in front of the boys, racing to the nurse to warn her of Liam's injury. "Excuse me?" She asks quietly as she reaches the desk.

"Oh, good morning. What seems to be the problem?" The nurse asks as she flicks through some papers.

In answer, the doors burst open once more as they drag Liam in. His face is pale as he grits his teeth in pain. "Lacrosse," Thalissa says as she rounds the counter and over to Liam.

"Get him on the bed," she commands lightly as she moves to turn on the light in the other room.

Scott and Stiles comply, whilst Thalissa tries her best not to yell at her brother some more.

"What's your name?" She look sup to see Liam watching her as she leans against the wall.

Thalissa glances at Stiles, who is glaring at Liam. "Thalissa," she answers with a small smile.

"And I'm her brother," Stiles quickly cuts in with an angry tone, but Scott quickly nudges him to shut Stiles up.

Liam watches as the nurse rolls up his pants to look at his leg. "It's not good," the nurse says. "It could be a sprain," she said as she turned it. Thalissa chewed her lip frantically when Liam grimaced. "Also might be a break. He'll need to go to the hospital."

"I'll be right back," Scott quickly says as he dashes out.

Stiles scratches his head. "We can take him."

"You don't have to-" Liam began but was cut off.

Thalissa shook her head. "We do."

"We?" Stiles says incredulously. "What do you mean we?"

"I'm coming of course," Thalissa says stubbornly.

Stiles is about to protest when Liam speak sup. "Thanks," he smiles.

"No problem," she chirps.

Her brother groans.

Thalissa moves to help Liam stand up, and he smiles at her gratefully. "You did really well," she comments as he leans on her.

"Oh yeah he was amazing," Stiles mimics, waving his hands dramatically.

She just laughs. "Ignore my brother, he's just mad he's missing english," Thalissa began and then finished in a whisper. "He has a thing for the teacher."

"No- wait- that's not-" Stiles rambles but Scott's arrival cuts him off.

The newly returned boy takes in the scene before turning to Stiles. "We going somewhere?"

"Hospital," Stiles grumbles as he pulls out his keys.

Liam glances at Thalissa, and she blushes as she realizes how close they are. Thankfully to save her from embarrassment, Scott comes and helps Liam instead of her.

"So you just moved here?" She asks as they walk.

Stiles and Scott share a glance.

Liam's shoulders tense, and Thalissa wonders what she said wrong. "I transfered from Devenford Prep. Well-" Liam glanced at Thalissa, the tips of his ears growing pink. "I was expelled."

"What?" Thalissa asked as they entered the parking lot. "Let me guess, you brought a pet snake into class and it bit someone."

She was rewarded when his shoulders relaxed and he turned to grin at her. "Something like that."

"I always wanted a pet snake," Scott comments.

Stiles glares at them all.

Thalissa ignores him and smiles at Scott. "What would you call it?"

"Elvis," Liam pipes up, adding a hissing sound at the end.

She laughs. "Oh my- That was awful," she complained through her giggles but Liam only shrugs.

"Get in the jeep," Stiles interrupts them sourly, and Thalissa pokes him for his rudeness.

Scott and Thalissa quickly hop into the back allowing Liam to have the front. Stiles climbs into the drivers seat and starts the car.

As they drive Liam looks over to Thalissa and gives her a small smile. "Thanks for not asking about my expulsion," he tells her quietly.

"It's cool," she shrugs it off. "It's none of my business."

Scott leans forward then, looking between the both of them. "Thalissa, you sure you don't mind missing class?"

"You know I can catch up," she shrugs. "Besides, someone needs to keep you two from breaking any more of his bones."

At that Scott looks guilty, but Stiles turns from his position in the drivers seat. "It was an accident!"

"Accident or not, I'm not leaving," Thalissa finishes stubbornly.

Scott sits back at the same time Thalissa does, and Liam turns back to look out the window. "So how are you enjoying Beacon High so far?" Thalissa joked.

Liam glanced back at her, the smirk she was growing to adore graced his face. "It has it's perks."

Thalissa blushed, glad the dimness of the jeep hid her. Stiles gagged at the front as Scott rolled his eyes. The jeep pulled to a stop as they reached the hospital, and Stiles clambered out first to help Liam. Scott and Thalissa followed after them.

As Scott and Stiles take Liam to the desk, Thalissa pulls out her phone. She goes about emailing all her teachers, asking what homework she had to do. Once she finished with that she headed over to Scott, slightly confused when she didn't see her brother.

"Hey," she greets when his eyes flicker to look up at her. "What's the damage?"

Scott glances at the room, and Thalissa hears hushed voices as Liam speaks to a doctor. "So where'd my asshead of a brother go?"

"It wasn't Stiles's fault," Scott counters. "It was mine. I was the one who hit him."

Thalissa bites her lip. "Well, that still doesn't change the fact that my brother's an asshead."

Scott chuckles and leans against the wall. "You know I'm sorry."

"About what?" She asks in confusion.

He crosses his arms and turns to her nervously. "These past two years… we haven't been very nice to you."

"Yeah," Thalissa scoffs. "You've all been a bunch of dumb-"

She's cut off when a nurse brushes past the both of them. "Look," Thalissa starts again after a calming breath. "I don't know what's been happening, but I've gotten used to it you know? I just hope you know what you're doing."

"Yeah," he nods slowly. "Thanks Thalissa."

Soon enough the doctor leaves Liam's room, and Scott's phone begins to ring. Seeing her chance, Thalissa dashes into the hospital room.

Liam lies with the blanket tucked around him. He looks really disappointed and Thalissa knocks on the open door. "Hey."

"Oh," Liam's eyes slowly open and he sits up. "Hey Thalissa."

She smiles sadly. "Not good news?"

"I need an X-ray," he admits, his eyes flashing to his leg. "So yeah, not good."

Thalissa smiles hopefully. "I think either way, you definitely made it onto the team."

"Yeah?" he asks. "You think so?"

She nods. "You were really good out there."

"I'm glad, I really want to make it on the team," he admits as he clasps his hands. "I used to play at my old school. It's sort of the only thing I enjoy doing."

Thalissa nods slowly. His dedication to the sport was pretty obvious, and the fact that he was so passionate about it really hit home with her. "Yeah, I really like maths but, sometimes people get really weird about it. But I'm just glad I have something I can enjoy, you know?"

"It's always a good thing," he agrees with a quick nod of the head. "My step-dad was the one who taught me to play. It's something… really important to me."

She smiles at that. She hadn't thought he would be so… genuine. "Well my mother was the one who got me started on mathematics. It was her favorite thing to teach me."

"Sounds like you have an awesome mom," he comments with a smile.

Thalissa bites her lip and looks to the ground. It wasn't that her mother died recently, but it still hurt after all this time. "Yeah," Thalissa agrees with a quiet voice. "She was."

"Oh crap I'm sorry," Liam says quickly. "I hadn't-"

She cuts him off though with an embarrassed chuckle. "It's fine really. So, lacrosse huh? It's kinda weird everyone's so cool with it. I mean- When you think school sports it's always football."

"Uh-Yeah," Liam chuckles along with her. "I've played both and I think everyone's way more crazy when they play lacrosse."

Thalissa grins, grateful he isn't asking about her mother's death. "Yeah, Scott really did a number on you didn't he? I don't know what that was about, he normally isn't like that."

"It was my fault for going up against them," Liam says. "A Freshman against two Juniors? Wasn't going to end well."

She rolled her eyes. "You don't have to make excuses for him. But… anyway, I'm hungry, what about you? I can grab us something from the cafeteria."

"Oh, thanks. That would be awesome," Liam grinned. "You really don't have to though."

Thalissa waved him off and headed towards the door. "It's the least I could do."

"Alright, as long as I can make it up to you," he said a smirk growing on his face. "Dinner, tomorrow night?"

She bit her lip. "If your legs okay-" He rolled her eyes at her and she smiled. "-Fine! Alright yes, I'll go to dinner with you on friday."

"Good," he says and watches as she leaves.

Thalissa can't stop grinning as she leaves the room. Had Liam just asked her out? She wasn't too sure. Thalissa had been on only a few dates, and most of them had ended badly. But something told her Liam would be different.

It wasn't until she heard a scream, that her smile left her face.

Her heart pounded in her ears as she realized how quiet the halls were. She wondered where everyone had gone, as the hospital had been hectic only a few moments ago.

"Thalissa?" Liam called for her and she turned to see him standing in the doorway. "You okay?"

"Yeah I just-" She's cut off when she hears low growling sound coming from behind her.

Slowly, she turns, taking a shaky breath.

Finally her eyes land on a boy…

Soaked in blood.

"Thalissa!" Liam cries just as the boy hissed and charges at her. She watches in frozen terror as the boy reaches her. His hand swipes out before she can react, and Thalissa is sent flying.

She lands with a loud crack as her head hits the ground. Her ears ring and she struggles to open her eyes.

The last thing she see's is the blood-soaked boy as he turns his attention to Liam.

And then the world goes black.

A/N: Hey guys! I decided to update earlier than planned because all of you have been so awesome. So I hope you enjoyed this chapter! A massive cookie to all of you who have supported this story! (::) is a cookie.

I hope I portrayed everyone well this chapter, I'm slowly getting used to Liam's character and his personality, but the work is worth it!

P.S I'm hoping the chapters will slowly get longer as we progress, for this episode chapters are probably going to be shorter than normal. Sorry!

This was inspired by a mix of Jordan Parrish's: Behind the pretty eyes, and Black Sun by IsYourH3artTaken.

A huge thanks to both of them~
