Leaving the vets office once Scott had sniffed a bit to see if it was safe Scott got into the truck while Jess put her first aide bag back in the secret compartment and pulled out a men's large sized sweater and tossed it to Scott. Climbing into the driver's seat Jess reached over and poked Scott and told him to put the shirt on before someone drove past and saw him and asked questions. "You're going to poke someone's eye out with those pecs." Jess jokingly chided.
Arriving at the house and walking in the front door Jess and Scott were surprised to see Melissa standing in the kitchen and staring at them in confusion. "What the hell!? I thought you two were upstairs sleeping! Did you two just get home? What the hell?" Melissa yelled sounding absolutely furious.
Seeing that Scott didn't seem to remember their agreed upon cover story Jess stepped forward lower lip quivering. "Raggedy Anne is sick!" Jess wailed covering her face with her hands and sobbing hard. All the stress and angst from the past few days pouring out of her as she sobbed loudly.
Remembering the cover story Scott jumped forward and wrapped an arm around Jess. "Hey, hey, Anne's going to be ok. Dr. Deaton said we got her to the clinic in plenty of time. She's just going to need a few more hours of observation before he feels good about sending her home just incase she has a relapse." Scott said hugging Jess. "EVERYTHING is going to be OK!" Scott said trying to calm her down.
Melissa finally seemed to snap our of her anger and shock and rushed forward to wrap her arms around the girl. "Oh guys, I am so sorry. I just saw you coming in so tired and early and I thought the worst. But I should have asked calmly and waited for your answer before I went off like that. I'm sorry honey. Here you are just trying to hold yourself together with everything happening and then your dog gets sick on top of everything else. Do you know what's wrong with her?" Melissa asked Scott.
Before Scott could answer Jess pulled away from Melissa and snarled. "That awful man from last night. Anne was by the door and he saw her and threw something to her. She snatched it out of the air then ran upstairs. I thought she just didn't like something about him. Then a while after you got home and went to your room she got up and couldn't walk straight and she was shaking and trembling. I grabbed her and ran for the truck. Scott was outside just getting home and he saw me struggling to carry her so he grabbed her and helped me get her to Dr. Deaton. Dr. Deaton said he gave her some sort of pill that poisoned her!" Jess ranted and raved looking like she wanted to kill the man.
Staring at the girl in shock Melissa hugged her tightly. "I am so sorry Anne is sick. But I am so glad Stiles crashed into me! And that I was awake to hear about this. Otherwise I might have called to try to reschedule the date and who knows what might have happened. I'll report this to Noah later today. We don't have abn proof so he won't be able to do anything official. But if we make a report then if it happens to someone else there will be a paper trail."
Looking at the two exhausted teens Melissa pulled out her phone and called the school and reported that both teens were being kept home from school for the day due to a family emergency.
Wrapping her arms back around Melissa Jess cried and thanked her. Finally calming down slightly Jess turned and tried to make her way back to the truck when Scott stopped her. "No, bed time. You need to sleep most of the day. Then we will bring Anne home and sleep some more. Then tomorrow we have school, then shopping for clothes for the Formal, then the Formal. We need to sleep now. Because tomorrow will be exhausting." Scott said steering Jess up the stairs and down the hall to her room.
Watching from the kitchen Melissa smiled and teared up slightly. Melissa had worried that she had rushed into making the decision to foster the girl and had worried how it would affect Scott. But the two teens really seemed to be treating each other like siblings.
After school Stiles came over to help them plot how to keep everyone safe.
"What if we just steal guns from the Argents and start having everyone carry guns?" Stiles suggested watching Jess sitting on the floor and cleaning her guns. She cleaned one at a time so that one was always ready to be fired if they were attacked. Picking up a dog toy from under the bad Jess chucked it hard at Stiles head. "Ok, terrible plan. What if we just concentrate on keeping ourselves safe and leave everyone else to fend for themselves?" Another toy flew at Stiles head. "Well what about just Derek, can you just let him die?" Stiles asked Scott before being tackled bodily and thrown out of the room by a cursing snarling Jess. Scott managed to get Jess under control and made Stiles say he had been joking. But Jess refused to have Stiles in her room after that so the planning session ended early and the boys went to look for Scott's missing phone.
Jess left to the vet to pick up Anne in a bad mood. She got the dog and got home to find the house empty and got in a worse mood. Deciding on a breakfast burrito for supper Jess pulled one out and heated it up and took it upstairs to bed. After she finished eating she decided that Scott was right. They should be calling it a night early and get some sleep before the craziness Friday would bring. Locking her windows and her door Jess climbed into bed and prayed that things would be resolved soon.
