Isaac pulled me out of the tub. He wrapped me in a towel and held me close. "Izzy, Izzy I'm sorry." I was spitting up water and gasping for air. I couldn't breath let alone think. I curled into his chest, the warmth of his body pulling me in. I didn't care that I had pain in my neck or my ribs or I was naked, I only cared that Isaac was here and I forgot all the bullshit I saw today and relaxed.
When I woke up I was in my bed dressed in an extremely large t-shirt of Isaac's and sweat pants. I rolled over in bed and sighed when I saw Isaac fast asleep on my floor. He was a fugitive now and I knew they would be looking for him. No matter how much I wanted my adorable and shy friend to stay Logan would give me hell. I woke him up and he kissed my forehead giving me a once over to make sure I was okay before he escaped through the window. I felt bad but he informed me he was staying somewhere safe, with Derek. I didn't quite like him, why I'm not sure.
I took a shower and got dressed. I had let my hair dry into small waves and put on my STAY WEIRD beannie, I had destroyed light denim jeans and a black batman tank top. I grabbed my trusty leather jacket and the matching backpack and my studded black vans and headed for the door, slipping on the shoes as I went. I made sure to leave a note for my sister that I may not be home after school.
When I got to school I met up with a girl that no one was friends with, Erica. She had some 'illnesses' but was still a sweet person. We headed to gym together, a class we both hated. I saw Allison and Lydia whom I had become 'friends' with due to the craziness that I knew little about. I changed into the gym uniform, shorts and a t-shirt with Nike sneakers. Allison and Lydia had pulled me away from Erica as we lined up for the rock wall. Allison and Scott were first. I stood there trying to talk to Lydia but was clearly blown off by her and Erica couldn't talk either, so I stood there watching Allison beat Scott to the top. Then Scott fell, no he was pushed off the wall by Allison. Once he hit the mat Coach sat next to him telling him how his pain brought joy to his life. Anyways up next was Stiles and Erica. I knew this wasn't going to be good, no gym class was good for my poor friend. Stiles had made it to the top in a matter of minutes, well Erica struggled to climb it. I was worried now as Stiles kicked off the wall. Erica started to cry and I made my way closer to the wall, pushing the jerks out of my way. "Erica, dizzy? Is it vertigo?" Coach asked causing Lydia and I took look at him. Lydia went all smart and gave the definition of vertigo. "Coach she is epileptic " I told him as I heard a few snickers from the crowd of people behind us. "W-W-Why doesn't anyone tell me this stuff? Erica your fine just kick off the wall, there is a mat under you." Coach said trying to reassure the blonde. "Coach she isn't coming down, so I'm going up." Stiles and Scott helped me into a harness. I climbed the wall taking deep breaths trying not to yell at the jerks laughing. "Hey Erica. Your fine okay." I said wrapping an arm around her. "Now hold on and kick off the wall. You'll be fine I'm here." I smiled at her as she did as I asked. Stiles and Scott helped us out and she ran to the bathroom. I followed her. She slid down the wall near the girls locker room. I slid down next to her pulling her into a hug. "Why are you here? I mean your pretty and friendly and out going. You could be Lydia Martin. Why do you hang out with people like me?" She asked confused and taking me aback. I remembered all the times I was picked on in middle school because of my extreme acne and weight. "Because I know how it feels, to be picked on and bullied. I what you to know I'm here for you and I am your friend, okay?" I told her smiling back. She nodded and we decided to change. She kept on her baggy sweatpants and sweatshirt though.
I stayed in the locker room well she left saying she wanted to get a head start on studying. I grabbed my stuff and headed for the door when I heard Scott scream 'Erica'. I ran for the rock wall to see Erica in Scott's arms. "Someone call 911!" I yelled rushing over to them. "Put her on her side."I told Scott. Allison was by our side now asking how Scott knew. "I just felt it." He informed us. When the ambulance got there I got in with her. It was a very painful and long trip. I paced in the waiting room as the nurse came out informing me I could go see her. I walked in taking a deep breath. "Heu Erica. Scott was something wasn't he?" I said smiling. She nodded in agreement. "You should probably get back to school I'll be fine." She said giving me a reassuring smile. I nodded and exited the room. I was walking down the hall as I saw the brooding alpha, Derek. I stared him down but he just nodded and smirked. I kept walking, the school wasn't a long walk from the hospital but I just didn't feel like the walk. I sat on the bench near the door thinking about all that has happened, the boy's ability to hear, see and smell things that I couldn't. i decided to do some research and what I could was kind of terrifying. They were werewolves. I stood up as I saw Derek leaving and I followed him. "Hey, you feel like giving a girl a ride?" I asked smiling my adorable smile and sliding into the passenger seat. "Not one that is going to interrogate me." He responded. "I wouldn't call it interrogating, how 'bout 29 questions? I'll ask first. What are you, a werewolf?" I asked turning in my seat to face the man who clearly looked angry. "Lets say I am. Would you be afraid of me?" He asked smirking inching closer to me. "Lets say you are, would you hurt me? And if you are I would be a little scared, but you don't look like the type to hurt a pretty girl no matter how big and bad you are." I retorted smirking only inches away from his face, his lips. "Yes, we are werewolves." He answered starting up the Camaro and heading to my school. "What happened to you that made you so, you." He said looking at me. "What do you mean?" I asked confused at the question. "Well Isaac has an old photo of you and well you don't look like this." He said eyeing my body. "Well I was bullied and picked on so I decided to change for me. I lost a lot of weight and saw a dermatologist. I also stole a lot of my sisters' clothes." I smiled. "Okay so now that your super, well hot and you have confidants why do you hang out with misfits?" He asked clearly interested I smiled. "Because I was there at one point. Having everyone laugh at you and not having a friend to turn to, well it sucks and I don't want anyone else to feel that way again." He smiled at me. "Well I don't think your friend Erica is going to need a shoulder to cry on anymore." I turned to him confused and concerned "What did you do to her?" "I took it all away." He said smirking. "I told her about how she wouldn't be able to control herself on the full moon just yet and about the hunters." "Wait what?!" I looked shocked as he stopped the car. He smiled "Ask your friends?" He said nodding his head to the trio of Scott Allison and Stiles, trying to not be seen.
I stepped out of the car and nodded, thanking him and he sped off. It was third period and I got my things deciding I would rather go home then stay here. I was at my locker as I saw Lydia getting yelled at by Jackson. I walked over. "Hey Jackson, you don't have to yell at her." He smirked "Oh the hero, Izabella. Lydia you ruin everything." he yelled on last time and stormed off. Lydia went running down the hall and I didn't fell like getting yelled out by her. "So this is what happens when I try to help?" I mumbled to myself. I grabbed my stuff and headed home. It was only a few minutes into the walk when I heard a familiar purr of a car. "Hey needed a ride?" Derek asked. I saw him and a smiling Erica who looked amazing. "Sure." I said sliding into the back. "Hey wanna go shopping?" Erica asked looking at Derek. I smiled and we headed to the mall. Erica got several tight leather items, short skirts, pants. She also got tight shirts and push-up bras and a leather jacket and several high heel shoes. I settled for a black daisy crop top, barbie vintage purple studded shorts, black lace leggings, purple pumps, my leather jacket, and a new belly button piercing, the ring was a black glitter moon and star.
The next day I decided I was going to skip school and get picked up by Derek. Erica wanted to show off her new look so we did a wake threw. We got dressed in the outfits we got yesterday looking incredible good and walked through the lunch room. Everyone stared at us as Erica picked up the apple off of some random kids tray and took a bite offering me a bite. I wiped her lip for her and we held hands skipping around Scott's table and walking out the front door. The two boys at the table followed us and watched as we got into the Camaro. Derek turned and smiled, with the new sunglasses we made him buy for himself, at the two boys standing there in shock as we drove off.
When we got to the building Isaac looked at me in shock. He played with the ring hanging from my bully button and I smiled. "You like it?" I asked. He smiled and nodded. We hung out for a bit messing around well Derek got annoyed. He soon took me home. I couldn't sleep so I decided to call my sister Charlie. "Hey Charlie." I said in a shake voice. "Hey Bella. How are things?" She asked her voice a little hoarse "Fine. Isaac is on the run and his father is dead and everything is changing and is weird and I'm lost Charlie." I said almost in tears. "Izabella stop this now. You are strong and will over come this like everything else you hear me?!" She said in the stern voice she once used to help me before. I nodded though she couldn't see she knew I was with here. "Hey I gotta go but give everyone love for me okay?" "Sure I love you Charlie!" I said before the call was ended.
I put on pajamas and headed to bed. I wanted to stay home. I had a pounding headache. Logan came in and checked on me. I hadn't missed school in forever so she let me stay home. Erica and Scott and Stiles, all pissed at me texted me throughout the day. I had to turn my phone off because it only made it worse. I went in and out of sleep.
I heard a car honking out front to see it was Derek.I put on my Lion King leggings a large sweater and my combat boots. I got in the car next to Isaac. I smiled as he played with my hair. I didn't care were we were going until we pulled up to an ice rink. "I'm not good with water or ice." I said frantically. "Its alright. Just hold onto one of us and we will keep you up." Isaac assured me and I smiled. We walked into the ice rink were we saw Scott telling Boyd he could do better with finding friends. "Jesus Scott if your going to do a consensus at least take everyone's vote. Erica how has life been for you since we meet." She smiled "In a word, trans-formative ?" "And Isaac." "Well I'm pretty bummed about being a fugitive but its good." The boy I was holding onto for dear life said smiling. "What about you Izabella?" I smiled "Well it kinda sucks sometimes but its good." I said smiling. I knew what he was playing and I decided to play the game too. Then Isaac and Erica were after Scott and I was pushed into Derek who held me behind him. "Its not fair!" Scott yelled. "Then go home." Derek replied. "I meant for them." Scott said going after the two wolves. Soon Scott was throwing my two friends around. I wanted to help them but Derek held me in place. The two betas we on the ground. "Dont you get it he isn't doing this for you! Its about power!" Scott said looking at the teens surrounding him and then me. "Its true. It is just about power." Derek replied moving as the two betas were slid across the ice. I fell on my butt as he moved closer to Scott extending his claws. "Derek! Derek don't" I yelled at the alpha as his eyes changed to red and he wolfed out attacking Scott. I cried in pain and sorrow as I saw Derek beat the crap out of my friend. I saw Boyd show Scott his bite and Isaac helped me up as we walked away. Derek dropped me off at home. Erica walked me to the door kissing my check before she skipped back to the front seat of the Camaro slapping Isaac's hand away as he tried waving. I waved and smiled at the black car zoomed off into the night.
I walked into the front door and was greeted by my scream sister. "Logan I'm fine!" I yelled just wanting to shower and fall asleep. I made it up the steps and got in the shower washing my body as I hummed a song. I wasn't paying attention as I got out and wrapped a towel around me first looking at the stretch marks I had tried to get rid of. I was kind of proud though, they reminded me of the obstacle I had over come, losing more than half of my body weight now being only 120. I jumped back when I wiped the mirror to see Derek. I covered myself up with the towel shocked and mortified. "What the hell?!" I shouted at him ready too smack him. "Sorry but you know those marks can disappear right?" I thought about it when Erica told me how everything went away and got better. "How about I think about it and get back to you?" I said sarcastically I was okay with staying human, for now at least. "The offer won't stand for much longer." He said smiling and jumping out the window.
I was mortified that he was sitting in my bathroom and saw me naked, only Isaac had seen me naked and he saved me. I put on a large t-shirt and shorts and curled up in bed.
Let me know what you think :)
