Chapter 2: Stiles POV
'I was wrong today is going to be a horrible day.' This is the first thought as I look down at the text from Scott. Haven't you heard? Well, I didn't want to be the one to tell you this. Jackson asked Allison out last night and she said yes, I am so sorry.-Scott. I drop down on my bed in shock. Jackson and Allison are together that doesn't make sense actually no it does make sense even before the whole kanima thing there was always this chemistry between them. Ever since Jackson got back from London in the middle of the year he's much calmer and secure in himself and because of that he and Allison have gotten closer than ever.
You might be thinking oh poor Scott wait why is he sorry for Stiles and Stiles why aren't you comforting your friend? Well, this might shock you especially with our past but I might sorta have a crush on Jackson. What's even more surprising is that I also have a crush on Allison. Yes, I'm BI and I got over Lydia a while ago and Scott knows about my crushes and he is cool with it because it's Scott. So having both your crushes date each other is like a pro soccer player hitting me in the face with a soccer ball twice over. 'Oh god, I'm going to have to watch them be all lovey-dovey just like with Lydia and Jackson but much worse because we're friends and we hang out all the time.' I realize dread and heartbreak in my chest. Flopping back on my bed I just stared at the ceiling not moving or thinking just sulking. Don't get me wrong I am happy for them but well I'm a teenage boy who just got told that his crushes are dating each other so what little percent of chance I had with them before is now has gone up in smoke.
'OK that was a bad analogy luckily Sourwolf can't read minds otherwise he really would rip my throat out with his teeth.' Cringing at the image in my head I focus my gaze back on the ceiling wondering why even my mind has to work against me today.
Another chime came in a few minutes later but I ignored it not wanting to deal with any more bad news or being forced to spend any time with Allison and Jackson because of a big bad creature right now. Just laying there my brain which clearly hates me comes up with all these scenarios on how Jackson asked her and her reaction. Feeling my heartbreak again I decided to take a sick day probably the first time in a while that I use one for normal reasons and I definitely deserve it. Grabbing my phone from where I tossed it at the end of the bed I unlock it to see a message from dad telling me he called me out from school and that there's beer behind hummus. Groaning I rolled over burning my head in a pillow, I could feel my ears red from embarrassment. Even my dad knew before I did and was I really that obvious. Abruptly sitting up My brain went into overdrive.'Oh god do Ally and Jax know is that why I seem to be the last to know.'
'You know what I think it's time for that beer. Right after I let Scott know that I'm not coming in today otherwise he be a worry wort all day.' Sending a quick text to Scott I switch into some moping clothes and then grabbed my phone and my mom's blanket she used when I got sick and moved downstairs. Dropping my things down on the couch I clearing off the couch and table then queued up Star Wars my comfort movie before heading into the kitchen for the beer and ice cream to drown my heartache in not seeing the shadow crossing by the kitchen window. Back in the living room, I turn the lights off and press play sinking back into the couch and into my misery.
Scooping up some rocky road on my spoon I'm about to eat it when I hear a squeak. Thinking it was a loose floorboard or an old pipe in the basement I just ignored it. Later I'll realize how stupid that was especially with my life but for now, I just sulked on my couch. Watching Leia and Han Solo chemistry just makes me feel worse so I focused on my phone instead. This is an even bigger mistake because the only thing people are talking about are Jallison. "Seriously they already have a ship name." I voiced to what I thought was an empty room not expecting an answer I was startled when I get one.
"Aw is someone jealous?' A female voice behind me mocked. Before I could turn around a hand with a towel-covered my face from behind. Aware not to inhale the chemicals that are probably on it I held my breath as long I could trying to fight them off but more hands appeared to hold me down. Running out of air I did the only thing I could. I head-butted the person behind me. Hearing them curse but it sounded stopped up hopefully from a broken nose. I really hope I did some damage because head butting is not as cool as it looks on tv, I'm pretty sure I just gave myself a concussion with the way my head is throbbing. Sadly it didn't make him let go and I'm practically out of breath and with how my head is hurting I can't think of another way out. Blackness crept up on the edge of my eyesight. With only a few moments left before I blackout. Too weak to struggle I went slack and the last thing I saw before passing out was Darth Vader telling Luke he was his father.
