He said, "Look at you, worrying so much about things you can't change
You'll spend your whole life singing the blues if you keep thinking that way"
He was trying to skip rocks on the ocean, saying to me,
"Don't you see the starlight, starlight?
Don't you dream impossible things?"

Chapter Four - Court of hell
I was pacing in the court house room where they placed us. We were suppose to wait here till they called us in. I was anxious and nervous of course about what they were going to say. I was dressed nice in a white dress shirt, and black skinny jeans. I breathed out but that didn't help at all. I rubbed my clammy hands together for awhile. This was so nerve racking and unsettling. I wanted this divorce overwith and done with. Derek cleared his throat and I stopped to turn to him. "What?"
"Are you going to stop pacing?" He snapped at me and I narrowed my eyes at him. I started to pace again just to get on his last nerve. He can't tell me what to do. He is not my alpha or dad or anything from that sort. Okay, he is my husband but not after a few hours or minutes. I ran my hands furious in my hair and complained that they should've called us in by now. "Can't you just be patient for now?"
"No!" I basically shouted at him and flailed my arms around. I didn't want to wait to find out, I wanted to get in there and find out if I'm going to be divorced. Did I want to be divorced? Yes, of course. Why wouldn't I? I mean, it's not like I have any feelings for Derek, do I? So many questions running through my head at once. "I just want this over with, ok?"
"Me too but it won't come any faster if you keep pacing like that!" He barked at me and I rolled my eyes at him. I was done with his whole barking orders or anything anymore. I wasn't going to put up with it anymore. I ignored him and I kept pacing like a madman. what was taking so long? We could've been divorced by now! My mind raged but my gut was telling me different. My gut was happy, even joyful that it wasn't calling us in. I didn't understand why my gut was telling me this but I just swallowed it down again. "how long have we been here Stiles?"
"For an hour!" I sat down next to Derek on the red leather couch. I rested my elbows on my thighs. I placed my cheeks into my palms of my hands. I hated waiting. I couldn't think of anything worse than waiting for an answer or to do something. It was horrid and rubbish. I hated it with a passion. The door finally opened to reveal a lady in a suit. She nodded and told us it was time to go in. I almost jumped in joy. "Finally."
We proceed into the courtroom, we walk past the pews and the gate. I was directed to the left and Derek was directed to the right. I looked at my wedding band and sighed. This would be the last time I would see my wedding band on my finger. We all stood when the judge came down to sit on her chair. Derek and I had to stay standing though and I fidgeted with the hem of my plaid shirt. The judge cleared her throat and called the court to order. "Hello, I'm Judge Christina. you must Be Derek Hale and.. Genim Stilinski?"
"Y-yeah." They had to use my first name? I shook my head in embarrassment. It was a conjoined name from my father's name and mother's name. It was bad, so that's why I go by "Stiles". The judge shook her head and just continued.
"I see here you've been married for about four days, or three. Is there a reason you want a divorce after three or four days?" She asked as she looked skeptically to us. I gulped and pointed to Derek. I wasn't going to explain this, He was going to. He got us married, so he has to get us unmarried. Judge looked at Derek and Derek looked passive. "Are you going to tell me or are you just going to stare at me?"
"We got drunk in Vegas, and got hitched." Derek told her sweet and smoothly. The judge moved her glasses to the end of her nose and groaned. She shook her head and I looked at Derek. Derek looked at me and I cocked an eyebrow. He just shook his head and turned to the judge. "And that's what happened and we want a divorce."
"I've had so many of these cases before. They want to get a divorce because they didn't want this marriage or he's an asshole and I don't want to be married to an asshole." The judge explained and I just stared at her like she was nuts. What does this do with us? We just wanted to get a divorce, nothing fancy. I sighed as the judge looked like she was in deep thought. She smirked and cleared her throat. This could not be good. I just had a gut feeling on this. "You know what, have you decided to ever make this marriage work between you two?"
"Well, we haven't spoken about it." I finally spoke up in a hushed tone but loud enough so she could hear it. She raised an eyebrow and looked between us. I felt something was coming, and I might not like it. I breathed out and in heavily. I was nervous, of course. Who wouldn't be? You're divorce is in someone else's hands. I fiddled with the hem of my dress shirt again. "I wouldn't know what Derek would think."
"What do you think, Stiles? Would you want this marriage to work?" She asked me and I gulped. I had to tell the turth, I knew it. "Tell the turth, Genim."
"It's Stiles, and Maybe, I would want it to work but I don't really know." I tried to laugh it off. I feel like I was going to get my throat ripped out later. I felt like someone was staring at me and I knew who it was. Derek, the one who will be tearing my throat out later. That's for sure. "I mean, um, I would like to but Derek probably doesn't so it's a lost cause."
"No it isn't, Genim." I mentally groaned. Does she really have to use my first name? I hate that name. I started to tap my foot on the ground. It isn't? What does that mean? The judge smiled from her chair in the podium and leaned forward to rest her forearms on the desk. "Derek Hale and Genim Stilinski, on behaf of this court you two must stay married and try to make this marriage work. In five or foour months time, I expect to see you in this courtroom and tell me if it worked out or not. I also expect you to spend sometime together, and get to now each other. This court is dismissed."
