Heres the second chapter. I hope you enjoy it! I don't have a beta so there may be some errors, but I have tried my best to spell and grammar check.
Allison's already taken the front seat, so I slip into the back, closing the door after me with the sudden thought that if Scott is taking drugs, this may be his dealer. No, I tell myself I live in Beacon Hills nothing will happen here.
Derek gets into the car and asks,
"Where am I taking you."
Allison replies but I am distracted by Stiles who has already jumped into his car and cut in front of us as he races down the street.
Both Allison and Derek are looking at me expectedly.
"Sorry" I blush "I presumed you knew where I lived" focusing on Derek.
He was handsome, and I could not help but appreciate his good looks.
"No" he replied, "I only recently met him and haven't been to your house."
Slightly suspicious, I give him my address as he drives off.
The car is silent, and I watch out the window as we drive through town. Soon the car stops, and Allison gets out.
"Thanks," she said as she got out and walked up to the door of a bid house letting herself in and waving to us as she closed the door.
The silence became more uncomfortable now that Allison had left the car, and my anxiety was telling me that I have to start a conversation, or I would seem a complete freak.
"Do you live in Beacon Hill?" I ask curiously as I did not recognise him
"No" he answers, and for a second, I think that he was going to stop talking, but after a pause he carries on "I lived here when I was younger, but I moved away a few years ago and only returned recently."
I nod and feeling unsure of what to do. I continue talking "Do you plan to stay here?" I ask half hoping that the answer was yes but knowing that even if that was the answer, I was unlikely to see him again.
"I don't know," he says quietly suddenly seeming more vulnerable than he had before
"Do you have family in the area?" I asked, thinking for more questions to keep the conversation going.
He tensed up "No" he replied, and I could tell from his tone that I had touched a sensitive topic. Just as I was trying to work out what to say to apologise for offending him, the car stopped abruptly, and I realise that we had reached my house.
"You can go now," he says aggressively, and I jump out mumbling thanks as I went. His change in mood had been unsettling, and I really wanted to apologise for upsetting him, but as soon as I close the door, he sped away.
I rush upstairs intending to find Scott and ask why on earth he had left me at the party. At the top of the stairs, I crash into Stiles who had been racing around the corner.
"What the hell" I shout angrily
"Susan" he seems shocked to see me "I need to check on Allison."
"Why," I ask, confused.
"Because Derek Hale took her home."
"Yeah well, he took both of us home because you and Scott both bailed on me."
"She's okay," he says, looking relieved.
"Yeah, why wouldn't she be" I confused
"Because Derek's dangerous" He shakes his head "I need to check on her."
"I saw him drop her off. I'm fine, why weren't you worried about me."
"Scott." he trailed off.
"Oh, I see" I reply angrily again "Scott was more worried about his girlfriend then his sister. I see where I sit on his list of priorities."
"No, no no, it's not like that" Stiles panics "Look, I can't explain right now I need to go."
"Why" I still angry and want answers "Is Scott on drugs, is he okay."
"No" Stiles seems to be getting impatient "look Susan a lot is going on right now."
"Okay, then explain."
"I can't."
"Why" I am getting frustrated.
"Just leave it" Stiles practically shouts before carrying on downstairs and running out the door.
I stand at the top of the stairs, bewildered by the action of my brother and his best friend. Why could not they tell me? My mind ran wild. Were the drugs worse than I thought? Where they involved in something illegal? I shook my head. No not Scott I reassured myself. I would talk to him tomorrow and get answers.
When my alarm goes off the next morning, it takes me a few seconds to remember that I want to catch Scott before school this morning, and I quickly jump out of bed. I get up and head downstairs, giving my mom a kiss as I enter the kitchen.
"Morning," I say as I accept a bowl of oats "Is Scott down yet."
"No" she replies "How was the party last night."
I pause feeling slightly bad for ratting out Scott but then reminding myself he deserves it I say "Well I wasn't there long Scott bailed on me after about half an hour and I had to get a lift home with a friend of his"
Mom pulls a face "Stiles."
"No, someone named Derek."
"Derek" Scott appeared in the kitchen "You also got a lift with Derek."
"Yeah," I replied, "After you abandoned me."
"You mustn't talk to him again."
I'm so shocked that this was his reaction; I didn't know how to react.
"Who is he," my mom asked
"Derek Hale" Scott replied, "his family died in a fire a few years ago. It's the house up by
Beacon Hill Preserve"
I freeze horrified about my question last night however I'm distracted by Scott who is heading out the door.
"Wait a second; you're not even going to say sorry."
He barely hesitates as he shouts back "I explain later, I want to catch Allison to apologise before school."
I'm furious at his response and shout back "good to know that Allison is more important to you, then I am."
But he is already cycling away.
"Don't worry?" my mom says as she sits down to eat breakfast "It young love, it makes people blind."
I shake my head as I join her at the table "It just hard you know, him ignoring me and my feelings like that."
"I know" my mom pats my hand and I look down at my oats suddenly not so hungry.
"I'm heading out," I say, and she waves at me as I grab my bag as I head off to face the day.
On my walk to school, I can't help but think about Derek and the conversation I had last night. I really wanted to apologise to him for bringing up his family and upsetting him. Scott had said that I shouldn't talk to him, but until he can explain what the hell is happening, I don't care what he thinks. With that thought, I resolve to go after school up to the burnt house my Beacon Hill Preserve to see if I could apologise.
After school, I walk past the lacrosse pitch on my way to try and find Derek's house when I see all Scott crash into Jackson. I freeze as Jackson collapses and all the players rush towards him except for Stiles how runs over to Scott before pulling him towards the changing rooms. My brother is clutching his head, and I am about to follow them when I see Derek standing next to the bleachers.
I tell myself to go over and talk to him but am about to chicken when he spots me.
"Hey" I wave at him
"Hi" He replies, but he seems to confused by why I am approaching him
"I just wanted to thank you for the lift last night and apologise for upsetting you."
"Oh" he seems even more confused by this, "Thanks."
"What you doing here?" I ask hoping to catch him change the topic
"I was hoping to catch Scott" he looked around, "but I may need to catch him later."
"Oh, I'm heading home. I'm sure you will catch him there," As soon as I say this, I panic that I have now put him in an awkward position. I don't want to pressure him into coming if he doesn't want to and I really don't want to think I like him. I mean he is very, very good looking, and I can't help but let my thoughts roam, but I don't want him to know that.
"Okay" he replies
"Ah" I'm not quite sure what to say now "It this way, is your car here."
"No," he says
We start walking in a very awkward silence.
