↣ Chapter 8 ↣

I was trying to relax on my bed after finishing my homework when I get the text from Stiles.

I supress the groan as I check my phone.

Scott is at the Ice- Rink. Going against DEREK!

My eyes widen and I run to grab one of my dad's guns that I hid in my room, you know- for safe keeping- I stash it in my belt and I run for the door and to the Ice-Rink.

I push open the steel doors and I sprint through them, when I finally get to the rink, I come across a sight that makes my blood run cold.

Derek bent down on the ice, punching his fist against Scott's face. I could see Scott's face get bloodier and bloodier as Derek's fist connects with his face.

"STOP!" I shout, my voice going shrill as it reaches the werewolf's ears.

Derek lifts his face and I flinch at the cold red eyes that meet my own.

The emotions that I see come over Derek's face when he sees my flinch are ones of hurt and sadness.

I don't give him another moment as I run up to Scott and kneel next to him, wiping some of the blood off of his face.

He reaches for my hand and I help him stand up, I help him walk out of the rink, without sparing the others behind us another glance.

As we leave the vet that Scott works for is there, waiting for us. He takes Scott off of me and tells me to go home.

I knock on Allison's bedroom door. When she answers she is dressed, with her make-up and hair done and she looks like she is on her way out.

I lift the laptop clutched in my hand up "Do you want to watch a movie?"

She gives me a tight lipped smile "I'm meeting Scott tonight, Liv. Sorry"

I hear the front door slam, meaning Allison has left to go meet Scott and that I am the only one in the house.

I love my family, very much but sometimes I feel like I'm alone, in this house. The only time we all spend together is dinner and even then it's tense because of the whole Scott and Allison thing.

Sometimes I just wish we never moved here. I know I have made friends and that Allison has made friends but I wish it was like it was before, when we didn't know Werewolf's existed and that Allison's boyfriend was one. It feels like that time was simpler and as I'm coming to learn simpler is better.

Right now all I want to do is watch a movie, eat some popcorn and fall asleep on the couch.

I stuff my laptop and the popcorn into my bag and I make my way to the one place I know where I can be accepted.

I went to the abandoned train station, and even though Derek did something wrong today I feel like he is the only person I can talk to.

I walk down the old stairs, backpack on my back.

I spot Derek talking to his three betas and once Boyd and Erica see me they get into a defensive position.

Derek tells them to stop and I walk up to him "What are you doing here?" he asks

I pull out my laptop and my Dvd of Kill Bill "Allison's gone for the night"

My head sits comfortably in the crock of Isaac's shoulder as my legs rest on Derek's lap.

And that's how I fall asleep and wake up in the morning
