The pack watched as Stiles, Pamplemousse and Mora drove down the driveway, the car slowly disappearing.

"Now what? Those three are the main sources of entertainment around here." Lydia started.

"Well I don't know about you guys, but I have been neglecting the genius that is John Green for far too long. I need to go give Pudge, Alaska, and The Colonel some attention." Brooke said as she headed up the stairs. She turned back to the pack only seeing confused looks on their faces, Lydia was looking down at her feet. "Really? None of you? Jesus, I am going to expand your little minds with my library of amazingness. You all have to read a book that I hand you. For now, I am retreating whilst you wallow in the shame of not having a literary capacity greater than children's books."

Brooke entered the house and headed for her room she walked over to the bookshelf and scanned her many loved titles. Pulling 'Looking for Alaska' out of one of it's places, two copies of course. She tossed it onto her bed and turned to look at her collection again. Mentally selecting a book for each member of the pack, she carefully picked out the dog-eared copies and piled them in her arms.

Following her nose she found each member, one by one. First was Jackson, lying in bed on his phone.

"Here, read this." She said simply tossing 'An Abundance of Katherines' on his bed and walked away.

Next was Scott and Allison sitting alone in her room.

"Hey you two. This one's for Scott," she said tossing 'Paper Towns' towards him, "and this one's for Allison." She said tossing her second copy of 'Looking for Alaska' to Allison

Derek was tucked away in his room, sleeping from the sound of it. Brooke walked up to his door and knocked. She heard his breath quicken and shuffles towards the door. It opened slightly.

"Yeah?" Derek asked still groggy.

"Well now that you have had your catnap, I brought you a book I think you should read." She said holding out 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' to him.

"Thanks, maybe I'll be able to read tonight with the troublemakers gone." he said grabbing the book.

"Maybe, hey do you know where Lydia is? I can't seem to find her scent, or hear her for that matter."

"Yeah, her dad called so she had to go home for a few hours to talk about her living situation."

"Oh, okay. I will have to give it to her later then." Brooke said disappointment in her voice. She turned back to her room and headed inside. She placed 'The Catcher in the Rye' on her side table to give it to Lydia later.

Hours seemed to pass as Brooke was cuddled under her covers reading. This was her favorite book and she loved to disappear into the pages. As she came to the climax of the book, she began to tear up, knowing what was to come.

"Hey, Derek said you were looking for me." Brooke looked up from the pages to see Lydia standing in the doorway, she wiped the tears away from her eyes. "Hey, are you okay?"

Lydia moved from her position in the doorway and came towards the bed. She sat on the edge and leaned into Brooke, brushing a tear from the unnatural redhead.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine, it's just this book makes me so fucking emotional sometimes." She said showing Lydia the worn book. "But, that's what I wanted to talk with you about. I want you to read this." Brooke held out her copy of 'The Catcher in the Rye' to Lydia, who accepted it and stroked the sides of the frayed paperback.

"I've been meaning to read this one." She said.

"Yeah," Brooke responded. An awkward silence was beginning to fill the room, not wanting this to happen, Brooke started to speak again. "It really is one of my favorites, Holden is honestly such an amazing character. I can relate to him so well. Most people don't really like this book, they say it's too depressing. I think that's part of the reason why I like I-"

Brooke was cut off as her lips were trapped underneath Lydia's. She tensed for a moment, wondering just what the bloody fuck was going on. She went with it though after a few seconds and let the kiss progress a little more. Lydia ended up on the bed next to Brooke.

"I...I'm sorry. It's just you are so, different. I'm able to have a conversation with you and not feel like I'm speaking with a five year old or feel like I'm being chastised by a grumpy old man. It makes me happy. And I just went for it, you can't blame me for trying can you?"
"Well, it certainly was a surprise." Brooke started. Lydia went to get up, Brooke reached up and grabbed her forearm. "One I particularly liked."

Lydia and Brooke grinned at each other and snuggled in under the covers. Their chests rising and falling with heavy breathes, they were completely relaxed.

"This is nice," Brooke said. "I haven't had times like this ever since before..."

"Hey, that's in the past. You are here now and that's all that matters, not what happened back then."

"Yeah, I know. Plus I have you with me know right?" Brooke said looking up at Lydia.

"Of course. Now come on let's go for a run. There's no one here to stop us. Jackson is holed up in his room talking to Danny, Allison and Scott are...well, you know. And Derek just left."

"I knew he couldn't stay away from Stiles for the whole night." The girls started to giggle and got up from the bed heading down to the entryway to get ready for a midnight run, under the waxing moon.
