21-We've Got Ways To Make You Feel Better

Ashlee's p.o.v

I woke up and my entire body ached. I groaned and rolled over to bump into something warm and familiar.

"Ash, stay still" Scott complained and pushed me over. I jumped up and tackled him into a big hug. He flipped me over and laughed. I hissed at the contact. Scott leant up.

"Sorry Ash" he said quickly, checking me over. I laughed it off.

"I'm just glad you're okay" I said softly.

"I'm glad you're okay" Scott said and hugged me again, softer this time.

"Scott!" We heard Stiles call out. Scott helped me up and we walked down the stairs to find Ethan at the door.

"Thank you, for saving me" Ethan says to me. He slowly reaches out to me, Scott growls but I let Ethan's hand touch my arm where the handsaw ripped it open. "I'm sorry" he whispers but I shake my head.

"It wasn't your fault" I tell him and he pulls his hand away.

"I just wanted to let you know that Derek is alive and that-" Ethan starts, talking to us all.

"Derek's alive?!" I ask. Ethan nods and I felt like the wind had been knocked out of me.

"He killed Ennis. Now either of two things happen, he either kills his pack and joins us or Kali will hunt him down and kill him" Ethan says, sorrow in his voice. This isn't what he wanted. Right now the important thing is that Derek is alive.

..

Me, Malia, Lydia and Scott decide to make the first trip to Derek's loft. I rip open the door and run inside.

"Derek!" I yell out desperately. I needed to hear him, touch him, make sure it was all real. But I don't just find Derek, I find Ms Blake quickly putting her shirt back on and Derek buckling up his jeans.

"Ash-" Derek starts but Malia's growls at Ms Blake cut him off. Lydia storms forward, I reach out with my injuired arm to stop her but she brushes it off.

"Your arm! Ash, where did you get those burns! What the hell-" Derek shouts when he sees the huge, jaggered cut up my forearm and the burns on my arms and legs. His sentance is cut off when Lydia's hand connects with his face. A loud slap echoed throughout the loft.

"Lydia!" Ms Blake yelled at Lydia, coming towards her. I step forward and bare my fangs at her, snarling.

"Back off!" I demand and I watch as Ms Blake steps away from Lydia in fear.

"ASH" Derek grounds out, his alpha status causing me to submit. My head bows, much to me putting up a fight. I looked up and Derek's eyes are glowing red. Lydia backs away from him as his claws come out. Seeing the fear on Lydia's face, I force myself to break away from his alpha force and let my own eyes turn icy blue. I roar at Derek.

"Get away from her!" I yell at him, referring to Lydia. Malia came to my side. Scott came between us.

"Stop" he said, looking me in the eye. I ignored him and he let the yellow creep into his eyes. I continued to ignore him and the faintest slice of red entered his irises. "ENOUGH" he said, I felt myself submiting to..Scott? The red in his eyes disappeared and they were yellow again. I let the colour leave my eyes and my fangs retract.

"Ash, I can explain-" Derek tried again, walking over to me.

"We're leaving" Lydia said, pulling my uninjuired arm. Derek's arm shot out and grabbed my injuired arm, causing me to pull away from him with a pain filled yelp.

"Don't touch me!" I shouted at Derek, tears in my voice. A weird hurting in my chest arising at the scene around me. I could smell the arousal in the air. That and what we had seen when we walked in, it wasn't hard to guess what they had been doing. "Don't you ever touch me again" I said, quieter this time, my voice laced with jealousy and malice. I had told Derek I loved him, I may have said it out of context but he still knew I had feelings for him and he went and did this.

"Ashlee-" Ms Blake tried.

"Don't" Malia warned her, her eyes glowing blue.

"Ash, just hold on" he said reaching for me again. It was Scott this time that stopped him. Scott shoved Derek, making Derek stumble a little. "She said don't touch her" Scott warned. Derek stepped closer to Scott, menacingly.

"Stay out of this" Derek warned Scott. It was my turn to get in the middle. I turned to Derek and snarled in his face, my fangs slowly coming out again. Derek let his fabgs come out and he growled back at me, telling me to back off.

"I'll never let you hurt my brother" I told Derek strongly. Derek's eyes narrowed. "You and Peter have caused my family enough pain already, dragging my brother into this world, I won't let you hurt him anymore" I said and let my fangs retract. Derek huffed angerily and let his fangs retract as well. Derek's eyes met mine and I looked away. The hurting in my chest spread and my heart was beating quickly. It was a sore, hollow feeling.

"We're leaving" Lydia said again, much more firmly and I let her pull me out of the loft. I met Derek's eyes once more, hurt on his face. Ms Blake walked up to him and wrapped herself around him. I turned away, jealous.

..

"Scott, get out" Lydia said, pulling up outside our house.

"What?" Scott asked confused.

"I'm taking Ash out for a girl's day meaning not with you" Lydia tells Scott with an evil smile.

"Yeah, i'm going" Scott says seeing Lydia's smile. "We'll talk when you're home Ash" Scott says softly. "I'm so sorry for..what happened"

"Of course and..thank you Scott, for everything" I say giving him a smile, he was such a great brother. I'm so thankful to have someone like him.

"I should be thanking you..you stood up for me with Derek and Ms Blake, that can't have been easy. But thank you. I love you and i'll be here when you get home" Scott says. He waved and got out of the car, going into the house. Lydia took off, Malia and I had no idea where we were going.

"Uh..Lydia? Where are we going?" Malia asks.

"I was thinking shopping, lunch, more shopping, the liquor shop then the club" This made me smile. After this morning, a day like that is just what I needed.

"Sounds like a good day" I say, a full smile finding it's way to my lips. Lydia and Malia both smile at me and we take off towards the mall.

..

I stood in front of the full length mirror in the changing room. Lydia had picked out an outfit for me for tonight, she even offered to pay for it! The theme of the rave was Native American. We all had big feather headdresses to wear with our outfits. I looked in the mirror at my outfit. I wore frayed black denim shorts and a rave bra, it had feathers dangling from it that covered 3/4 of my stomach and spikes along the top. I objected when Lydia showed me but apparently these raves got pretty crazy. We were all a year under age but Lydia reackoned they didn't check . I walked out and did a turn, showing off the outfit to Malia and Lydia. They wolf whistled and I laughed. I wonder what Derek would think? NO. I don't care anymore..

"I like the outfits" I said, pointing to Malia and Lydia. Malia wore a tight brown leather corset and short shorts. Lydia wore a tight skirt and a crop top with tribal patterns over it. We all wore our headdresses and danced around the changing rooms, laughing and being goofy for about half an hour. We got out of our costumes and went out for lunch. We had a platter consisting of grapes and cheeses i've never even heard of. We hit the shops again, buying glow-in-the-dark face paint so we could paint lines across out cheeks. Once we were done there the sun was starting to set. Lydia, looking the oldest, went into the liquor shop while we waited in the car. We waited anxiously for her. We cheered when she came out holding a bottle of rum and two bottles of vodka.

"Yay!" Lydia said as she got in the car. She handed Malia a bottle of vodka and me the bottle of rum.

"How can you drink that stuff?" Malia asked me.

"It's like liquid gold. How can you drink that stuff?" I asked her and she just laughed. Lydia turned to me.

"Pass me your phone"

"What?"

"Ash, pass me your phone" Lydia said with a laugh. I passed it to her cautiously and she took it. She begun scrolling through my contacts. "I remember seeing you with a senior..Jax Hunnam if i'm not mistaken?" Lydia asked as she hovered over his name in my contacts.

"Lydia? What are you doing?" I asked her and then Lydia was ringing him. "Lydia!" I yelled, reaching for my phone but Malia held me back and put a hand over my mouth. Malia giggled.

"Hey Jax, it's Lydia Martin" Lydia said when he answered.

"Ashlee's friend Lydia?" Jax asked.

"Yeah" Lydia said with a smile. "Listen, me, Malia and Ash are going to that Native American rave at the club tonight..would you wanna come along? Ash needs some cheering up" Oh that bitch.

"Does Ashlee know you're asking me?" Jax asked.

"Yeah..of course she does" Lydia told him. "Well, we'll be there in about an hour and a half so see you there! And make sure you dress up!" and Lydia hung up. Malia let me go and Lydia tossed me my phone.

"Oops" she said and her and Malia laughed.

"Lydia!" I moaned.

"Come on, you need to get away from Derek and Derek related thoughts" Lydia said and I felt my mood dampen, the hurting in my chest coming back. Is this how people feel when they're heartbroken? Is this what all those tacky, lovey-dovey songs are about? But I don't love Derek..do I? Why did I tell him I love him? I mean as a friend..I guess..i'm so confused by all these feelings! Malia nudged her, obviously feeling it. "Shit sorry.." Lydia said.

"No, it's fine. Let's just have a great night tonight" I said giving her a small smile.

"That we can do" Lydia said and took off towards the clubs.
