Hey guys! This chapter takes place between 3x14 and 3x15. It isn't a filler chapter it just helps to move the plot along. Enjoy! Just a warning this is a long one!
Today was the big day, and by big day I mean game day. And for some reason, the school decided to give us the day off and have a carnival all day at school before the game. Hey, no school; I'm not complaining. I just finished getting dressed when my little sister came bounding into my room. "Izzy, can I come to the fair with you today?" She pleads with me. "Did you ask mum and dad?" I ask her. She nods cutely at me. Do I believe her? Nopee. "Okay one minute." I say whipping out my phone and texting my parents who were currently at work. To my shock they responded yes. "Okay Taylor, but you have to be prepared to hang out with the big kids okay?" She gave me a huge smile and then ran off grabbing her backpack.
Next thing I know I here a knocking at the door. Shit I forgot Stiles and Scott were picking me up. I run to the front door and open it up giving them both a smile. "Come in guys there has been a ...slight change in plans." I said sheepishly. "It can't be that bad." Scott said. I hear the pitter patter of little feet as Taylor runs up. "Izzy who are they?" She asks her high pitched voice ringing through the empty house. I pick her up. "This is Scott and Stiles. They are my friends. Scott, Stiles this is Taylor my little sister who will be accompanying us today. "Is one of them your boyfriend?" Taylor whispers in my ear. My eyes widen Oh God. And to make things better Scott is laughing because he can hear this all. "No honey they are just my friends." I explain to her. "Why don't you go get your bag and come meet us here?" I say putting her back down. "Okay!" She yells running down the hall her laughs trailing down the hallway with her.
"Sorry about that guys." I explain. "No, no it's fine, she's cute." Stiles responds. And Scott nods. I give them a smile. "Thanks." Taylor comes running back ready to go. "Let's go!" She yells pulling me out of the door. "Okay Taylor, go with Stiles and Scott to the jeep while I lock the door okay?" She nods and takes both of their hands. I smile after them and turn around to lock the door. They look cute together. I think to my self heading to the back seat.
We finally arrive at the school. We all jump out of the car and I grab Taylor's hand. I look around and see its decorated like a typical carnival, and heaps of clowns. "There are so many clowns here." Stiles says from the right of me. "Well it is a carnival." Scott points out. "They're creepy." Stiles replies "Well they are clowns."I say. We give up the argument and start walking around. We come to a popcorn booth and Taylor gets excited. "Oh popcorn! Can we please get some Izzy, please?" She pleads with me pointing at the stall.
I roll my eyes and give in. "Sure, but don't tell mom and dad, I said we wouldn't have popcorn."I say. Stiles laughs from behind me. "What?" I say turning to him. "Nothing." I roll my eyes with a smile and go order.
I paid for the popcorn and gave Taylor her packet. "There you go." She takes it and gives me a grateful smile.
The sun was starting to set and the game was in a couple of hours. Scott had went off to find Isaac, which left Stiles, Taylor and I. We were currently at a game where i was determined to win a plush because dang it I want one! "Izzy just give up." Stiles said, currently holding Taylor who had fallen asleep on him. I smile at the sight. "Never! I'm winning that stuffed animal if we have to stay here all night." I said determined.
"Calm yourself, you get three tries then we're going, one the clowns here are giving me the creeps. Two we have a game in an hour." Stiles intervened. I sighed. "Fine!" Three more tries later and alas no stuff animal. Stupid, rigged game. I thought to myself and huffed. "Here let me try." Stiles said handing over my sister to me and grabbing a ball. He won it on the first try! "How?!" I said whisper shouting making sure not to wake up my sister. "I have a talent." He said showing off and handing me the huge bear. "Thanks." I said sincerely, smiling. There was a moment of silence until I broke it. "Thank you by the way, for today. I'm sure she had a great time. I, um. I better call my parents to pick Taylor up she is really tired." I said. Stiles nodded. "Yeah, I better get prepared for the game." He said scratching the back of his neck. "I'll see you there then." I said heading off to make the call
It was currently ten minuets before the game and I was sitting next to, Lydia and Allison. "So, Izzy, where did you get that huge bear?" Allison asked. "Oh, it was at this booth, I couldn't win it so Stiles had a go and won it on his FIRST try." I explained emphasizing first; still shocked. "What can I say? He's great." Lydia said distantly. "Lyds you okay?" Allison ask her. She nodded. "Yeah fine." If she is fine then I am perfect. I thought to myself, Lydia clearly isn't okay. I gave Allison a look that said 'she isn't fine' She nodded back at me, and we both had an understanding that we would talk about this later.
The game begun quickly and for most of the game the other team was wining. It was currently half time and Allison, Lydia and I decided to go down and talk to the boys before they went back on. We all came to a stop in front of them and all exchanged hellos and I got right to the point. "You guys are bombing it out there." They made a look like they were about to protest. "I'm sorry, but you are. You guys need to pull it together, you three are the best I know, you can do this." I said attempting to rile them up. Allison and Lydia nodded. "She's right you know, you guys can do this." Allison reiterated. "We believe in you." Lydia added. They began to head off to continue playing, but before walking on Stiles winked at me, it sent my butterflies wild. I smiled back and headed off to my seat the smile not leaving my face.
There was about a minuet left of the game and we were down by two points. I was anxiously biting my nails, while Allison and Lydia were wringing their hands. Scott had the ball and passed it to Isaac. 30 seconds. Isaac had the ball, and passed it to Stiles. Come on. Come on. I thought to myself wishing that they would somehow pull out the win. 15 seconds. Stiles was lining up with the goal. 10 seconds. Everything is going in slow motion as she shoots. 5 seconds. And he gets the goal! I jump up and cheer along with everyone else. Allison, Lydia and I run down to celebrate with them. I give hugs to Isaac and Scott and give a huge hug to Stiles. "You did it!" I said breaking away for a minute before he pulls me back in. I pull back out slowly and look him in the eyes. We both lean in and then... Lydia intervenes. "Hey Stiles, congrats on the win." She says causing us to jump apart. I look down at the ground and head back to the others to let them talk.
Allison who saw the whole thing unfold took me aside to talk to me. "Did you and Stiles, just..." She trails off hinting at what she think went down. I swallow. "u-uh, no actually Lydia came in before anything happened. But whatever, clearly Stiles and I aren't meant to be, they are." I say turning and looking at Stiles and Lydia laughing together. I turn around and Allison is giving me a sympathetic look. "Don't." I warned and headed back to the group. We were all talking until Stiles and Lydia came back to the group. I gave them both smiles and continued with the conversation until Stiles pulled me away from the group.
"Hey, I was just wondering, if maybe, uh, you wanted to go grab a bite?" He asked me. I smiled. Maybe things were looking up for me. "Sure! Where did you wanna go?" I responded. "Well there is this cute cafe I know, we could go there?" He asks. "Sure! I'm down." I say, Stiles smiles "Great. I'm gonna head back to my house and have a shower did you want to drive your care there and we can go from there?" I nodded. "Okay, sweet. I'll see you there." He said hurrying off and giving me a kiss on the check. I don't think he noticed what he did as he walked off I just stood there gobsmacked. I walked back to the group, still out of it. "I'm gonna head, off I'll see you guys tomorrow?" I asked not waiting for an answer as I rushed off with my coat and bag, grabbing me keys out of my pocket.
I pulled up outside of Stiles' house and I quickly fixed p my hair before knocking on the door. A freshly dressed Stiles, answered the door with his keys spinning on his finger, his hair still wet from the shower. "Ready to go?" He ask stepping outside and closing the door behind him. "Lead the way." I said walking towards heading down the driveway. We arrived at the small cafe which was currently empty; considering it was fairly late. We grabbed a both in the corner and both looked over the menus.
We ordered and within minutes our food was here. And we were laughing and talking. "So, I told you about me, why don't you tell me something about your self." I asked. He took a breath. "Okay, well um, my mother Claudia, passed away in 2004. I was with her when she passed, and I still haven't really gotten over it. I blame myself for the whole thing." He says looking down. "Stiles, I'm so sorry." I say putting my hand over his, he took it in his hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.
"Other than that my life was pretty normal until Scott got turned into a werewolf and my world got infinitely more complicated since "dying" as a surrogate sacrifice for my father; which you were there for. Waking dreams and lost time caused me to believe I might be losing my mind. I felt so alone." He summed up. I squeezed his hand again giving him a sympathetic look. "You were never alone Stiles."
"If it makes you feel better, my childhood wasn't all that great. A lot of moving, a lot of bullying, gosh little girls can be mean. And then my powers came in. Every time I tried to practice my magic my nose would bleed and I would pass out. Sometimes even days after my nose would bleed in the middle of class, that didn't help with the bullies trust me. Sorry. I'm making this all about me again, my experience wasn't even that bad." I smile apologetically.
"Why don't we talk about something else?" He suggests changing the subject. I nod. We talk for hours cracking jokes and laughing at each others stupidity.
We finally decided to leave realizing that it was getting close to midnight and the cafe wanted to close up. We got outside and it started pouring down. "Great idea to walk huh?" I say sarcastically. "Hey, sarcasm is my thing, don't steal it. Sarcasm is my only defense." He says looking me dead in the eyes. We both start laughing. The rain got harder and it started storming. "Well great, how are we getting home?" I ask staring at the weather. "Like this." Stiles says grabbing my hand and running through the rain dragging me behind him. I shriek when the cold rain hits me. "Stiles! It's cold!" I shriek, running behind him. He just laughed and kept going.
We finally got to his front door just as the storm pick up. "Great, now I have to drive home." I say in annoyance. "There is no way, I am letting you drive home in this. You can crash here tonight." He said. "You sure? I don't want to intrude." I defend. "No! It's fine, you can borrow one of my shirts and leave yours to dry overnight." I sigh in defeat, I couldn't resist him. "Fine okay, just let me call my parents so they don't freak out." He walks inside finally letting go of my hand to let me make the phone call.
No one answers the home phone so I leave I message "Hey mum, dad. Sorry its so late but there was this huge storm so I couldn't drive home, I'm staying at a friends house tonight. I'll see you guy tomorrow. Bye, love you." I say ending the message.
I head inside and say hello to Stiles' dad before going up to his room. "Hey." I say walking in. He turns around. "Hey. Here, bathroom is down the hall to your left." He directed, giving me a towel and one of his shirts. I gave him a thankful smile and headed to the bathroom to dry myself as much as possible and put on Stiles' shirt, hung up my clothes and headed back to his room.
"Thank you again, for letting me crash here tonight. I can just take the couch I don't really need a bed." I said. "Don't be stupid you can share with me. It's a big bed." He pointed out as I sat on it. "You sure?" I begin to protest but Stiles cuts me off. "It's no bother." He said sitting next to me.
"Oh and thank you for being so kind with my sister today. Sorry about that." I explained sheepishly. "You need to stop apologizing for everything Izzy! It's completely fine. She's adorable anyway. And it wasn't just me, Scott was apart of it." I nodded. "I know but you didn't freak out when she fell asleep on you. Other people have." Stiles shook his head. "Why would I freak out?" Now it was my turn to shake my head. I really had no idea why people freaked out. "I don't know, I mean everyone else does." I shrug.
"Anyway I think we better head to bed, we are probably keep you dad up." I say, looking at Stiles. "Yeah.." He trailed off looking back at me. There was a moment of silence as we looked into each others eyes. We both leaned in and our lips connected. I put my hand on his cheek as I smiled into the kiss.
We pulled away and looked at each other for a moment before braking into a huge smile. "Should we head to bed now?" Stiles said still looking me in the eyes. "Yeah." I whispered as Stiles got into bed and indicated for me to lie down next to him. I climbed into bed and slid into Stiles waiting arms. I wrapped my arms around his torso and rested my head against his chest. He kissed my forehead and I sighed in happiness before falling asleep with a smile on my face.
That's the chapter! Thank you so much for sticking with me through this huge chapter! I am actually pretty happy with it. The next one will be up soon. Thanks again! I have also figured out how to insert gifs so I will be going back and fixing that up!
