Finding Malia

Part 2

Disclaimer: Been feeling a pull to write this one lately so here it is good buddies! Oh, and I own nothing but what you see here!

Summary: A few weeks after being brought to her human self and going through some therapy sessions, see's Malia, Lydia, and Kira having some well deserved girl time.


Ever since being brought back to her human form after being stuck as a Coyote of all things by that Derek Hale guy several weeks ago. Malia Tate had been spending quite a bit of her time getting her life back together. Which thankfully allowed her to miss school in order to do so, though she was stuck with therapy sessions with a Marin Morrell who thankfully seemed to know about people like her. She'd even been suggested by Scott's boss Mr. Deaton as well after her kind of sort of friend had talked to the man about the whole thing regarding her. Scott, along with Hale, who seemed to radiate sour broodiness, something that got an amused grin from her boyfriend's best friend after she mentioned her view of the guy to him had even helped train her in control. Even helping ease her family into what she is now and it thankfully went over fairly well. Course if it hadn't of been for Lindsay seeing anything and the slight paranoia over her possibly telling their parents, the reveal might not have had to happen.

The Full Moon had been another thing that had been quite difficult and the added stress of Stiles barely being around hadn't helped any either. Nor did the jealousy she detected from that blonde girl Erica but she just really couldn't be bothered to care all that much where that little girl was concerned as she had so much more pressing concerns to deal with. And after the past few weeks, she had decided that it was high time that she, Lydia, and Kira all had a get together at her house. Which was something the two girls rapidly agreed on and would have invited Allison but considering their best girlfriends didn't exactly know the other, figured it would be best left alone until a later time. Once those two had arrived, laughter quickly filled her room and it was something Malia had loved a lot. Even feeling happy that she had actually managed to become friendly with Kira despite the fact she'd never intended too back when she and a few of her and Lydia's circle of friends had come up with the plan to get Stiles' attention off of Lydia and on to someone else. A plan that while cruel had sounded so good.

At least until she had actually started to fall for the bald and pale teenager who's sarcasm was something she had actually come to enjoy quite a lot! Especially since it made things that much more fun when they got into little arguments over nothing and their witty sarcastic barbs started to fly at the other! Even combining thelr little talents together to be used on others from time to time as well. That night her life had changed forever is when the reality of her actually realizing just how much she felt for Stiles is what had made her leave his room in a hurry as tears started up in her eyes as she hadn't wanted him to see that and then start asking questions. Questions she had a feeling she would answer and then lose him thanks to those answers. The fact she barely saw him since coming back made her feel like she was losing him anyway and she hated it a great deal! Especially when she had no idea why he was acting like he was and a part of her feared he had somehow learned of the plan.

Malia had even asked Lydia in private once if her boyfriend had found out or had even found someone else and the girl had answered in the negative on both counts. Though she seemed unsure of things where the plan was concerned as she mentioned hearing mocking laughter in Stiles' direction from some of their nastier friends. Making for Malia to be a little worried and yet to ask them about it for fear of what she might learn. But as the night went on with her two girlfriends, she'd tried not to even think about any of that but found that to be a bit more difficult then she liked! "Okay girl, what's going on in that head of yours?" Questioned Lydia after seeing the faraway look on the face of one of her best friends.

"Hmm… Could it be… I don't know, Stiles?" Asked Kira teasingly and making Lydia grin in amusement.

Their words brought the girl out of her thoughts. "I'm sorry, what'd you say?"

Laughter from the two was their response, making her growl a little as she rolled her eyes at them. "We asked if Stiles was running around in your head." Informed Kira with a smile on her lips while Lydia only nodded in agreement.

Malia let out a sigh. "Yeah, actually, I am." Admitted the girl with another sigh.

"Haven't spoken to him huh?" Lydia asked and wondered why the Hell her long time friend hadn't done so yet!

As Hell, she never let anything stop her in the past! "No, I haven't yet. Hell, I've barely seen that boy as it is the past few weeks."

"Then why haven't you gone to him then? Cause last I remember, you were never the type to sit back and wait on someone else." Spoke up Kira curiously.

Lydia then grinned as a memory suddenly hit her. "Yeah, like that time in the 8th grade when we had that big science project and you were partnered with Johnny Lumbeck."

Laughter erupted after that from the three as Malia and Kira started to recall what their Redheaded friend was on about. Lumbeck had no ambition or drive back then to do much of anything and to this day he still doesn't. Serving to make him Annoyance Number 2 right after Greenburg in Coach Finstock's eyes. "You know what? You guys are right. I've never been the type to just sit back and I'm not about to keep doing that where MY boyfriend is concerned." Realized the girl as she stood up from the bed and her eyes went gold as determination flowed through her.

"YEAH!" Cheered Kira excitedly.

"That's my girl!" Added Lydia with her own cheer as Stiles stood no chance now!

Malia only smirked as her man had no idea what he was in for very soon. "Sorry girls, but I've got a bald boyfriend to go and see."

"Want us to come with?" Lydia asked as a part of her wanted to see where this went!

Heck, even Kira wanted to see how this went! If only so she could tell Scott at any rate as she knew he'd get a kick out of the whole thing! "Sure, you two can cut off any escapes of his."

The girls grinned over that and soon they were off to Stiles' house and declaring that whatever Deity should have pity for the boy as none of them were about too! And once they got there, they saw Derek's Camaro parked out by the curb, making them wonder what he was doing there. "Guess Derek didn't wanna go to the Argents for answers." Theorized Kira.

"Yeah, that whole thing with his family being burned alive by one of them probably would make him a little less willing to ask them." Remarked Lydia with a nod of the head while Malia was a little stunned to hear that and making the Werecoyote glad Scott wasn't dating the Argent girl anymore after finally seeing the light where Kira was concerned.

Kira would have said something about that being a bit rude but left it alone. And as they got out of the car and went towards the front door, she and Lydia would go to two different spots to try and prevent Stiles from hauling ass. The Sheriff would welcome Malia inside with a hug and a warm smile on his face. "I'm happy to have you over here again Malia." Said the man warmly and making Malia feel happy as can be over that.

"Thank you Sheriff, its… Its honestly good to be here again."

And that was the damn truth! She'd get another warm smile from the man afterwards. "I gotta say… What happened with you was hard on my son. It was like, it was like he had lost a part of himself."

Hearing that made the girl's heart clench painfully but now that she was back, she hoped that she could help the boy she had come to like so much get that part of himself back. Giving the man a re-assuring smile, she'd give him another hug and a kiss on the cheek. "I'll make sure he gets that part of himself back Sir."

"Atta girl." Replied the man happily.

"But I gotta warn ya as you probably already saw this when you first got here, but Derek Hale's up there with him. Lookin' into somethin' I don't even wanna know about." Admitted the man as Hell, he still had trouble wrapping his damned head around the fact that the Supernatural existed for crying out loud!

Malia nodded at that and she could hear faint snippets of their talk upstairs. Though it made no sense to her whatsoever but she wasn't really caring about it to begin with as she was only here for one purpose! She soon made her way up the stairs after another hug with her boyfriend's dad and once she got to Stiles' room, she could hear arguing from the other side. "Look, why not ask Deaton or God forbid, the freakin' Argents about this!? Its not like there's really a whole lot of legit material online when it comes to Narn War Games! And plus? Stop with the whole Erica thing okay!? Its kinda freaky even if you are her Alpha."

"Stiles, if I don't at least make some kind of an effort, I'll have to hear about it. And I don't wanna hear about it okay? And uhh… I didn't think about Deaton actually." Malia felt amusement after hearing that sheepish admittance from the older man.

And no doubt Stiles was scoffing or rolling his eyes over the whole thing. Though she really didn't like the thing where this Erica girl was concerned! Deciding that knocking wasn't gonna cut it, she quickly opened the door and let herself in, leaving for the two males inside to gape in shock at her sudden arrival! And despite the fact she was only in a blue shirt, some black jeans, and had her hair in a ponytail with a few loose strands dangling about in her face, Stiles couldn't help but find her to be absolutely beautiful. Derek, sensing this was about to be become some sort of teen angst kind of thing, decided to quickly leave despite Stiles' attempts to keep it from happening! An awkward silence was then felt after he made his leave as Malia looked about the room that belonged to the boy she cares a great deal about.

Clearly not much had changed in the time she'd been gone and she was honestly glad for that. And when she saw a framed picture of the two of them out by the lake at Lydia's lake house, she couldn't help but give a soft smile at the sight of it. Even holding it in her hands as she momentarily lost herself in memories of that day. Stiles cleared his throat a short time later, causing her to shake herself out of the trip down memory lane. "So, what uhh… What brings you by?"

Malia sighed as she put the framed picture back down where it was. "What else would bring me by Sti?"

"An important question for Derek? Or maybe any info on what happened that night my dad mighta found? I don't know." Shrugged the boy.

"No and no. I came here to see and talk to you you dumbass."

The sneer he gave her over the insult annoyed her. "Well, you've seen me so I guess we can quickly get the talking part out of the way and go on with our lives."

That made the girl gape at him in shock as she couldn't believe she just heard that from him! "Jesus Christ Sti! Can you be less of an ass!?"

"Can you be less of a manipulative bitch!?"

Malia sucked in a breath as that could mean only thing! "You… You know?" Asked the girl a bit hesitantly.

A humorless chuckle escaped the boy she cares a great deal for. "Hah, yeah, I know. Michelle told me. Hurt me more then a damned carburetor to the face or an old asshole beatin' the crap out of me, that's for damn sure." Replied the boy bitterly as he glared angrily at her.

Making her flinch at the intensity of it as had never been something she'd seen from him in her direction. And she hated it a great deal as it hurt to see from him when it came to her. It made her want to pull her to him and kiss it away and make it all better again but something told her he wouldn't let that happen. Not just yet anyway. The fact he had apparently been hit in the face by a car part and later beaten by a jerk wasn't something she liked much at all and it made her want to go and rip apart whoever had done all that to him! She also promised herself that she was gonna have a very important talk with Michelle real soon! "Sti… I..."

"You what? Hate that I know since it means your little plan is out in the open and can't be done anymore? Well guess what? I DON'T CARE! I mourned you for months! MONTHS MALIA! And then I find that s**t out!? Do you have any idea what that did to me!? DO YOU!?" Screamed the boy angrily and making her flinch as tears threatened to come forward.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! It was cruel and I never shoulda done it!"

Stiles scoffed at her, refusing to believe anything she'd just said. "Yeah, I bet you're real sorry. Probably why you left in a damn hurry that night cause the guilt was gettin' to ya."

"It… It was… And the fact I realized I had seriously fallen for you? That only made it even worse. You were one of the main things I thought about while as a Coyote for all that time..." Admitted the girl as she stepped forward and clung to him, not wanting to let him escape.

"Oh yeah? What'd you think about? More ways to make me your bitch if you ever became human again?" Asked the teenager spitefully and making a sob escape the girl.

God, she never expected this to happen and it was like a sledgehammer was being taken to her heart! She looked up at him and into his cold, angry eyes with her watery ones. "NO! God no Sti! I missed you so much! I wanted a chance to make things right with you and hope you would have enough in you to forgive me! If I hadn't… If I hadn't of left that night and you saw how I was acting and asked about it? I would have caved and answered anything you asked over it! And that? That scared the Hell out of me baby!"

"Yeah, I just bet it would have."

He tried to pull away but the tearful Coyote started to kiss him with a sense of urgency to it all. And at first, he was responding and their tongues were soon dancing in one another's mouths and her heart soared as the young girl hoped this meant good things now. Sadly, it wasn't meant to be as he shoved her away and looked at her coldly. "No, Hell no. I'm not gonna be your bitch Tate."

"YOU AREN'T MY BITCH! YOU'RE MY BOYFRIEND DAMNIT!" Screamed the heartbroken girl tearfully.

Stiles only shook his head at her. "No, I'm not anything. WE'RE NOT ANYTHING! HELL, WE NEVER WERE TO BEGIN WITH!"

The Sheriff then made an appearance to find out what the Hell was going on as Malia rushed to Stiles and clung to him tightly. Unfortunately, he refused to let that happen and hauled ass from the room as she fell to her knees in anguish as his dad called out for his son to get his ass back in there. Receiving no answer, he looked down at Malia with a saddened heart and soon wrapped her in his arms as she cried her heart out. The faint sounds of tires screeching could be heard as Kira and Lydia rushed to where they were and could only look on in shock over the sight of their brokenhearted best friend. Something that would quickly make Stiles persona non grata for a good while with his circle of friends and for Erica to try and dig her claws into him. Not that he was making it all that easy for her much to her immense dislike.


Author's Notes: Well, that was… Harsh. A part of me wants to turn this into a story rather then leaving it as a drabble/idea kind of thing. Plus, a part of me also wants to write the story of when these two got together. I'll try and have a third part to this added hopefully in the very near future.
