Chapter 1

"Where the hell have you been?"

I open the door of my house to see my "mom" in the doorway. She looked worried but I knew it was all an act; she never really cared about me.

"Sorry I lost track of time," I reply as I try to walk past her but she stops me. "You're usually done with your run at 9 and it 9:45 now, I was worried about you". I just apologized and ran up the stairs I still needed more time to think.

I had heard my parents talking about how I they didn't know what to do with me since they just adopted me out of pity. I was so upset because this was the best foster home I had been in when the decided to adopt me. I just wanted to run away but I didn't know where to go.

As I walk into my room I check my phone to see 1 text and 1 missed call with a voicemail. I check the text only to see a message from my former boyfriend Brett:

I miss you when will you come visit me?

I just ignore it and dial my voicemail. Its not like I don't miss Brett, I do but I was kind of glad when he moved because he could be a bit much, but he was my first ever boyfriend.

What I hear in the voicemail shocks me even more than the text from Brett.

Hi Mackenzie my name is Stiles Stilinski, I don't know if you remember me, probably not but I'm your brother and I live in Beacon Hills, California an-

He was cut off by a voice in the background

Don't be so formal Stiles! Ok sorry, anyways I have been looking a while for you and I really want to meet you. I'm not gonna ask you to come live with me or anything cause that'd be weird but uh… He suddenly got really serious; I just really want to see you I never thought I would find you so please call me back uhh... thanks bye

After the line went dead I couldn't move. I had a brother… I had a brother… I had a brother! I couldn't even process the information. I didn't know if I was happy I had one and he decided to contact me or angry and sad that I was torn away from him at a young age. I don't remember him at all but then again I don't really remember anything before I was 5 years old.

Before I knew what I was doing I was dialing his number and calling him back, he picked up after 3 rings.

"Hello?"

"Stiles?" I didn't even realize how nervous I was until I heard my voice crack.

"Yes... Mackenzie?"

I nodded even though I knew he couldn't hear me "yes" I squeaked out.

"Oh my god you have no idea how happy it makes me that you called back I just can't believe its really you"

Before he could say anything else I got straight to the point "I really want to see you"

"You do?" I could almost hear the excitement in his voice.

"I really do and I wanna be your sister again" I let out a big sigh.

"Well where do you live?"

"I live in San Diego it's in Southern California"

"Yea I know where it is I mean like who with?"

"Oh that… well I live with the people that adopted me" I didn't want to tell him that they didn't want me; I didn't want to freak him out or anything.

Before he could respond I heard my mom yelling at me and stomping up the stairs.

"Look Stiles I really have to go but I'll text you and we can arrange something?"

"Yea we could do that I'll talk to you later Bye!"

I hung up and grabbed a towel just as my mom was coming in. "Mackenzie honey I just wanted to let you know that Lance will coming over later today to take you to those dance lessons and remember be nice his parents have helped out at the club a lot"

I rolled my eyes, "Mom every time I do something with him he always tries something with me and Lance is such a posh asshole and I don't want to be around him"

"Mackenzie 1st, watch your language, 2nd, Lance is a lovely boy, and 3rd and this may be the worst and will most likely make you hate me..." she trailed off.

I look at her hesitantly, "Mom what do you want me to do?"

"I need you to act interested, kiss him, or something! His family is becoming less involved because Lance always complains about you! So be nicer and help out the family" She said as she walked out of my room.

Well great. I have to let Lance shove his tongue down my throat just to help out people that don't even want me? I don't think so… but I don't have anywhere else to go. I think about how this is going turn out as I hop in the shower. Well let me explain something, my family owns a country club and Lance's family donates a lot of money to it just because of me. I hate him with such a passion that I can't even explain it. He is fancy and likes to go to expensive restaurants and talk about how funny it is that people aren't wearing designer clothes.

That. Is. Not. Me. Not even in the slightest.

I play volleyball and other sports; I like to eat cheap food from small places that actually make quality stuff. He taught me how to ride a horse just so we could walk them in a circle. What is the point of that? I like to ride them on a trail and actually have fun. He is such a bore.

After I get out of the shower I get dressed in a sundress Lance said he liked on me especially for him. Aren't I the sweetest? I let my hair air dry as I packed a bag with essentials like money, clothes, phone charger, toothbrush, toothpaste, hair bush, etc. I put the bag in the bushes outside my house you know just in case.

As I was reading a book in my room I heard the doorbell ring and then my mom yell, "Mackenzie! Lance is here"

I grabbed my purse and ran down the stairs to see Lance standing there smirking at me with way to much cologne on that I could smell it from the staircase. He looked me up and down saying "I really like your dress Mackenzie"

I restrained myself from rolling my eyes as I said, "Thanks let's go!" he grabbed my hand and pulled me out the door as I heard my mom yell, "We won't wait up for the two of you!"

Oh boy.

As we were driving I turned to him, "So where are we going for dance lessons this time"

He kept his eyes on the road as he replied with a smirk on his face "Oh we aren't going dancing today"

"Well then where are we going?" I pressed. "A very special place Mack"

Ugh! I hated when he called me Mack I rolled tried to refrain from barfing as I asked again, "and that place would be…?" "Oh you'll find out very soon" he replied.

I will stab this kid before we even get there. Before long we pull up into the parking lot of out stupid prep school. I turn to him in curiosity, "Um what are we doing at school?"

"You'll see" he said as he got out and pulled me out of the car and into the school. We walked into the lounge and it's not like there was romantic picnic set up or something so clearly he put so much thought into this. Greeaatt.

"Seriously Lance why are here?!" At this point I was so done with his bullshit.

"Well Mack" he started, "this is where we finally get our alone time" he said as he grabbed my waist and pressed his lips to mine. I wanted to pull away so badly but even though they didn't want me, I still didn't want to let down my parents. So, I kissed back trying not to vomit in the process. I was just about to pull away when he pushed us onto the couch.

Oh no! This is not happening today. I tried to push him off of me but believe it or not he was pretty strong. He moved onto my neck and I tried to push him off of me but it didn't work. I finally said "Lance get off me" But he didn't listen to me.

I was just going to accept it when his hand started slipping up my dress.

You know what… f*ck this! That's when I bit him. Right in the shoulder. As he flinched I shoved him off of me and ran out of the school as I could hear him yelling from behind me "You'll pay for that!" And all I did was run.

I ran all the way home and grabbed my bag out of the bushes. I ran to the train station. And I ran to the ticket booth. As I pulled out my money and looked at the man I said, "1 ticket to Beacon Hills California"

He handed me the ticket and I handed him the cash and then ran to the train. I settled into my seat and let out a sigh of relief. Then I smiled. I was going to get to meet my brother!

I thought I should call Stiles to let him know so he could be prepared but as I turned on my phone I saw another name on the screen.

Brett

My eyes widened in realization.

Brett lived in Beacon Hills. Where I was going. Where I would be arriving the next morning. Where I would have to face him at some point. Brett lived in Beacon Hills.

"Well shit"
