Jackson's POV
Jackson groaned at the throbbing in his head, how much had he drunk last night he carefully sat up holding his head and covering his eyes he didn't want to see any bright lights, that would only make it worse. Jackson rubbed his eyes and slowly removed his hands revealing his blood shot eyes, he wasn't concentrating he just looked at the duvet that was over him, ''What the'' he began to say. Jackson quickly looked up realizing he wasn't in his room, where the hell was he. Jackson glanced around the messy room, there was only a bed which he was in and an arm chair in the room. He started to panic when he heard someone cough from outside the door, who was that? OMG what if he was kidnapped and now some serial murderer was going to finish him off, he had to get out. Quietly as he could Jackson pushed the duvet away and carefully got out of the bed, he stood on what seemed to be a wooden floor. Jackson didn't get very far when the floor creaked he cursed himself and tried to figure out what to do next. He could jump out the window but he didn't know how far up he was or if even the window would open, serial killers are normally smart about these things. Just as Jackson was trying to figure out his escape, the door creaked open and Jackson gasped at the sight he did not expect to see.
Derek was standing by the door staring at him intently, they both just stared at each other before Jackson finally managed to say ''Oh God - please don't hurt me- look I -'', ''Hey calm down I'm not going to hurt you, Christ', Jackson stared at him he didn't know what to do, his heart was beating so hard in his chest he thought he was going to have an heart attack. He reached his hand around to his neck and smoothed the scar that was now radiating with heat and pain. Derek seemed to move at the sight of this and came closer to Jackson, ''Let me have a look at that'' Derek asked, 'W-what, its fine'' Jackson managed to say. ''Just let me look okay, I'm not going to do anything'', Derek stood even closer to Jackson so close that there chests almost touched which made Jackson's heart beat even faster for reasons other then fear, he pulled Jackson's head down gently and looked at the scar, Jackson heard Derek take a deep breath. ''Look Jackson I know you freaked out yesterday by what Scott said'', Jackson rolled his eyes Man not this again. ''Buts its true your turning into a werewolf, this scar its painful right?'', Jackson didn't know whether to answer him he didn't know what to say yes the scar was painful but that didn't mean he was turning into a werewolf. ''Your c-crazy, I'm not a w-werewolf okay'', He looked straight into Derek's eyes who had not stopped looking at him, wow Derek was beautiful, wait why did he just think that, what's wrong with him he can't possibly find the guy that absolutely terrifies him attractive, that just so wrong.
Derek's POV
This kid really wasn't going to believe a word he said, he was terrified. Derek could smell the fear on him plus a hint of arousal, which meant he was going to turn sooner than Derek thought. There was only one way that Derek could prove to the boy that he was going to be a werewolf and that was to show Jackson his true self. ''Don't be scared okay, I'm going to show you what I am'', Derek could see the confused expression on Jackson's face. Derek shut his eyes and thought hard, he felt his body changing, the hair stood up on his neck and his fingers burned for a second before he felt the nails rise. Derek could feel the stretching of his clothes and they finally ripped off of his changing body. He bent his head and lifted it back up when he felt the bones strengthen, he completed the transformation by kicking off his shoes to watch the feet enlarge, He heard a whimper escape from Jackson and he had almost forgotten he was there, Finally Derek looked up to see Jackson's shocked expression, he looked like he was going to faint which Derek really hoped would not happen. ''This is who I am, and this is what you will become'', Derek told him.
Jackson didn't say anything he just stared at Derek before finally nodding, ''O-okay'' was all he said and that was enough for Derek to change back to his human form, He was surprised he had not ran or screamed, he took the transformation pretty well, he quickly pulled on new clothes realizing that the ones he had worn were ripped, he looked up at Jackson who was still staring at him but looked away embarrassed when Derek caught his eye. He actually felt sorry for the kid, it wasn't his fault he liked Derek it was the wolf that was growing inside of him, he felt sorry for him because he was just a confused kid who probably wouldn't have dreamed of liking another guy. He felt sorry for him because Jackson could never know that Derek liked him back, it wasn't a good idea for them to be together, instead Derek would have to hide his true feelings and that scared him. ''What happens now?'' Jackson asked, he had started to calm down at bit but his heart was still beating fast. ''You're going to turn soon Jackson, and then you will have to deal with things that are going to be tough, like the transformation and your feelings'' The kid seemed to blush at the mention of his feelings.
Jackson's POV
Why does he make me feel like this, why do I like him for its not as if hes the nicest guy around, god no hes one of the most arrogant and meanest guys I have met so why do I feel this way. ''Are you okay?'' he asked, I realized that there had been a silence for almost 5 minutes, God I needed to concentrate. ''I-umm yer'', STOP talking like that I told myself, I sounded like a scared 5 year old, but I was scared. I was scared of what he just turned into, I was scared of what I'm going to turn into and I'm petrified of what's going to happen now. ''Look, I think I should go now, its- my parents will be worried'' I told him trying to sound brave, ''Okay Jackson but I need to keep a close eye on you, here take this it has my number on there, if you feel weird or think your turning call me okay?'', I looked at the card he was holding before finally taking it and nodded. I walked around him and went through the door, I looked at the stairs that strangely were actually all in one piece, it seemed they were the only thing in this house that seemed okay, I quickly walked down them and through the door.
I breathed when I got out of there and was relieved to see my car, the keys were still in there thank god! I quickly got into the car and drove off not even glancing back. It was hard to think of anything as a million different questions were running through my head, the throbbing from the hang over had calmed down but it still hurt a bit. All I could think of was werewolf, Derek, Derek a werewolf, me a werewolf, none of this made sense I still couldn't really believe it even though I had seen it with my own eyes. Derek had turned right in front of me and that was what was going to happen to me, this can't really be happening but it was and I needed to pull myself together. It was a relief when I pulled up outside my house, I hope my parents weren't home, hopefully they would just think I slept over Danny's or something, they were too protective sometimes and today I really couldn't manage there lecture. I opened the front door and walked into the kitchen, there was a note that said ''Jackson, me and your father are going out of town for a few days, we have left you money in the safe and make sure you lock the doors when you go out, love you, Mum.'' Jackson was glad that he didn't have to deal with their disappointed looks or one of their talks.
He made his way to his room and practically collapsed on his bed, he was so tired, he let his eyes close and merely drifted off when he felt a sharp pain in his neck, the scar was burning but not like before now it was really painful. He stood up and feel to his knees as they gave way, his whole body burned he felt sharp pains going up his arms and legs. Jackson was panicking now and reached for his phone, he grabbed the card out of his pocket and dialed the number, ''D-Derek, its Jackson I think it's happening, com-'' he didn't finish as the phone slide from his hand and he held his stomach, his body was radiating heat and pain he never imagined, he thought he was going to die.
Derek's POV
Derek didn't understand his emotions when Jackson had left, yes he was happy that the kid finally realized what he was but he also felt a surge of guilt for doing this to him. Derek knew what was going to happen when Jackson turned and that frightened him, Derek wanted Jackson, he wanted the beautiful boy in his arms, he wanted to kiss his soft lips and remember for just a second what love was. He needed Jackson more then anything but he couldn't have him. ''Why does this have to be so difficult'', Derek breathed to himself, he headed over to the tiny fridge in the corner of the room, no one would even be able to tell that the room used to be a kitchen, a great kitchen in fact before that night of pain. Derek pulled out a beer that was barely frozen but just as he was about to put the bottle to his lips, his phone beeped. Derek froze for a second, who could be calling him no one had his number, he then realized what had happened early that day. Derek quickly pulled out the phone and pressed it to his ear, what he heard next made his body go cold. ''Derek, its Jackson I think its happening, Com-'', the voice had stopped mid sentence, Derek practically flew down to his car and started the engine, he drove faster then he ever had. His body tensed in the seat, he knew what was going to happen now and it made him feel sick.
