The only thing for me to say is sorry for taking so long. This has just been sitting on the site waiting to be published for weeks now and every time I went to get on something came up. I'm also really sick right now so I'm sorry if there's a lot of mistakes. Oh and one more thing, some of the characters might be a little OOC in this chapter so this might be a warning. Well enjoy chapter 3!


Chapter 3

Today is my birthday and I couldn't be in a worse mood. I was dreading the party Allison was throwing me not only because I was expecting only a few people to actually show and it being lame but also because my back was killing me. I went and got my tattoo Tuesday which wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It was this big tribal symbol that took up almost all of my back. It was meant to be a protection symbol incase something evil tried to harm me, all the hunters in my family having been getting this done when they turn sixteen and I was happy to get mine. Since I wasn't allowed to skip the whole first week of school I had to be really careful not to mess with my back so I was wearing a really loose black t-shirt, ripped jeans, and my converse. Cole never had trouble with getting his tattoo since he was born during the summer time in June.

"Happy birthday! You don't seem too happy Brook, what's wrong?" Allison asked.

"Just in a crappy mood, my back hurts." I whinned.

"Oh do you know why?" she asked.

"Yeah but do you promise not to say anything?" I asked.

"I promise." she said.

"I got a tattoo." I said.

"What, no way." she gasped.

"Yep, I'm kinda sore but eh it was worth it. Took all of Tuesday to get it done. I can't wear any tight clothing or get it really wet." I said.

"Can I see it?" she asked.

"Sure, I'll show you at lunchtime." I told her.

"Okay, what are you doing after school?" she asked.

"Nothing that I know of." I said.

"Well since its your birthday I'm going to take you shopping after school." she said.

"Sure sounds like fun, we can catch up." I said.

"Well your friends are waiting for you." she said, pointing out Stiles and Scott.

"Hey you do know you can come over and talk to him right." I smirked.

"Brook please don't-don't say anything to him please." she begged.

"I wouldn't do that to you Allison but just between you and me he likes you." I told her.

"I'll see you at lunch." she said as she blushed and walked away.

I laughed to myself a little before making my way over to a grinning Scott and Stiles.

"It's the birthday girl!" Scott said, opening his arms for a hug.

"Hug around the neck please, my back is in pain. And please don't choke me either." I said, wrapping my arms around him in a tight hug.

"I can't go get drunk with you and Stiles for your birthday, I have to work today. I'll make it up to you though Brook. I really am sorry." Scott said.

"I'll hold you to it." I smiled up at him.

"Hey what about me?" Stiles pouted.

"How could I ever forget about you?" I laughed, giving him a hug as well.

"Exactly." Stiles said as Scott rolled his eyes.

"So you feeling any better?" Scott asked.

"Yep but like I said my back still hurts so no messing with it." I told them.

"Well let's get to class, the sooner the day gets over the sooner we party." Stiles said.

"It's only going to be us." I smirked, reminding him.

"Yeah well whenever we get drunk its always a party." he said.

"True." I laughed.

We went to class and my worries slowly left me along with my back pains as the day went on. By the time lunch came around I was actually looking forward to the party. I had forgotten that I was going to show off my tattoo to Allison until she dragged me into the girl's bathroom before I could get to the lunchroom.

"I want to see it." Allison said after making sure nobody else was around.

"Alright fine." I said, lifting the back of my shirt.

I heard her gasp and I couldn't keep the smile on my face from growing.

"You parents let you get this?" she asked shocked.

"Yeah my dad and Cole got this same tattoo done when they were sixteen, and everyone else on my dad's side of the family." I explained.

"Did it hurt?" she asked.

"Well it did a little bit. I was more annoyed with the fact that I had to stay still the whole time." I told her.

"I'm surprised that someone was willing to do this to a sixteen year old." she said.

"Nah it was easy finding someone." I said, dropping my shirt back down.

"Wow. Well it looks really cool." she said.

"Thanks, lets get some lunch. I bet Scott is trying to keep Stiles form eating my birthday cupcake. We always get a cupcake on our birthday, its like tradition since Scott's mom always made me one on mine so I started getting them one on theirs." I explained to her when she gave me a look.

During lunch Allison sat with Lydia and Jackson, which kind of made me sad. The rest of the day went by faster than I thought it would. The trip to the mall wasn't anything special, Allison kept dragging me all over the place. Neither of us bought much, Allison bought me one of those big cookies which we ended up splitting, and herself a pair of jeans, and I bought some cds like Framing Hanley and Breathe Carolina. Allison also bought me a short, loose, dark green dress and black wedges, which she made me change into in the back of her car on the way to my house. She tried not to laugh everytime I let out a curse when I was having trouble. We finally entered my house after she brushed out my already straight hair. The house was dark but she pushed me on to the backyard.

"Surprise!"

Well I was definitely surprised. There was way more people than I thought would be there, like there were people I didn't even know here. There were blue and green decorations, blue christmas lights hanging from the roof all the way across the yard to the shed, those flashing lights ball things in the pool, a big stereo with huge speakers sitting on the cover of the hot tub with a silver bow stuck on the top, and a table full of food. In the middle of the table there was a three layered birthday cake with green and white icing and the number 16 on the top. Next to the table there were a few presents and cards I wasn't expecting to get.

"Oh my God, Allison." I gasped.

"This is the best we could put together in such a short amount of time, but your parents helped before they left. Your dad doesn't know that there are so many people here by the way and your mom locked all the doors inside except the bathrooms." Allison said.

"So birthday girl, what do you think?" Lydia asked.

"Oh yeah, Lydia helped out a bunch with the invites and some other things too." Allison said.

"Yeah it's sort of like a pre-party for tomorrow." Lydia said.

Allison gave Lydia a look but I didn't care. This was the nicest and most likely the last thing she would do for me like this so I was going to take it.

"Thanks Lydia, this is really awsome." I smiled at her.

"Don't mention it." she said.

Soon music started playing and people started to dance and hangout. Stiles made his way over to me with a huge smile on his face, with two cups of punch in hand, and two bags hanging from his arm. One of the bags was silver with white tissue paper, and the other one was green and black zebra pattern and smaller than the other with black tissue paper.

"Surprised?" Stiles asked.

"Very." I said.

"These are from me and Scott, the smaller one is from me. You need to open them." he said.

"Why do you guys have to get me things?" I asked embarrrassed.

"Because you always get us stuff. Here this drink is yours, I spiked the punch by the way. I said we were going to get drunk so I added a little extra to ours." he grinned.

He handed me the presents and I opened the one from Scott first. He had gotten me season six of Supernatural and a bag of gummy bears. There were also two cards but I would open them later.

"One of those is from me and my dad and the other is from Scott and his mom. Hurry up and open mine next." Stiles said.

"Alright, alright." I laughed.

The first thing I pulled out was a picture of me, Scott, and Stiles on our first day of highschool in a beautiful silver frame. I was really nervous and upset that day since I had nobody to see me off but Scott and Stiles showed up with Scott's mom to make sure that I was okay. I had completely forgotten that Scott's mom took this picture.

"I know it's not much but my dad said it would be a good idea and all." he mumbled, while rubbing the back of his neck.

"I love it Stiles." I smiled up at him.

"Well there's something else." he said.

I pulled out a small silver bracelet that had puzzle piece charms on it. Out of the the ten pieces one of them was bigger than the others. Stiles then took out his keychain and showed me that he also had a big puzzle charm on it. Then he took mine and put it together with his.

"These two go together, they're like friendship charms. I put mine on my keychain to try to make it less girly for me. If you put all the other ones together they make a square." he said.

I threw my arms around him and gave him a tight hug. I felt like crying, today went so much better than I thought it would be.

"Thank you so much Stiles." I said quietly as I let him go.

"Alright now let's make a toast." he said quickly, handing me my punch.

"To what?" I asked.

"To you turning sixteen and to many more awsome parties." he toasted.

"To being sixteen and to many more awsome parties." I laughed and quickly drained my drink.

And that's where it started. We kept drinking, Stiles having way more than me. After awhile people started leaving when they realized that it was going to start raining and we moved stuff back inside. Soon it was just me, Stiles, and Allison.

"Well I have to get going. I'll see you tomorrow Brook." Allison said.

"Okay, thanks for everything." I told her.

"No problem. Do you want me to drive him home? I didn't think he drank that much." she said.

"Nah, I'll take him if he doesn't pass out or anything. He spiked our drinks more than the others and he drank way more than me. I should have kept an eye on him or something." I sighed.

"Can you drive?" she asked.

"Yeah I really didn't drink much." I said.

"Alright then, bye." she said before she left.

"Okay Stiles let's go for a ride." I said, gently pulling him towards the door.

"Where we going?" he slurred.

"Your place." I answered.

"Yeah okay." he said.

On the way to his house he kept going on about random things which was really annoying because it was still raining and I was already having to swerve back into the right lane every now and then. We made it safely to his place and luckily his dad wasn't home yet meaning he was working late. I helped Stiles get inside and to his bed just to make sure he that he would be okay and so his dad wouldn't catch him. I was about to leave but Stiles grabbed my arm and pulled me back on the bed with him.

"Don't leave." he slurred.

"Stiles you have to let me go." I said.

"But you're to beautiful to let go." he whinned.

"I have to go." I blushed.

"But I thought that we were going for a ride?" he slurred with a smirk.

"We did, that's why we're here." I reminded him.

"That's not what I meant." he smirked, sitting up and leaning in close to me.

"I-um, well uh." I blushed, trying to say something.

"Please stay Brook." he whispered.

I could feel his breath on my face as I tried to think of something to say. He put his forehead on mine and ran his hand through my hair, making it feel hard to breathe. I couldn't believe it, I've faced vampires and demons but I was freaking out now.

"Please?" he asked, closing the distance between our lips.
