Scott was pacing back and forth in the living room of Derek and Danny's apartment. He was there when Nicholas had called and had tried stopping Derek from storming over there but it was no use. Now he was going crazy with worry about what was happening. He had tried calling Derek but of course he didn't answer, he tried Stiles but only got voice mail.
Text from Scott to Stiles 6:15pm:Dude Derek is angry and I am worried. Please call me!
Scott 6:30pm:Dude tell me you are alright! Where's Derek?
Scott 7:00pm:STILES! Please just answer me so I know you are alive!
From Stiles 7:20pm:Derek is fine. We are headed back there now.
Scott:Okay see you in a bit. Drive safe.
Stiles:w.e.
Scott threw his phone down and sat on the couch. What the hell had happened? At least they were both okay!
"What the hell was that Derek? Why did you have to come over and ruin everything?" Stiles was furious. Derek just sat looking out the window not saying anything. "I mean come on really Derek. What just cause you call my phone and someone else answers you have the right to come storming over and try and kill every person I talk to. I am not yours to fight for. I don't think I was ever yours." Derek just kept staring out the window ignoring everything Stiles was saying and that was making him even more pissed. What right did Derek have in not answering Stiles? He was just hanging out, doing what his dad had told him too. What right did Derek have to come over and ruin it? Stiles pulled up to the apartment and Derek got out before Stiles even had the car in park. Well fine if Derek wanted to avoid him them Stiles was okay with that. He backed up his car and drove away. He wasn't going to deal with this right now.
Stiles pulled into his driveway and walked up to his room. He passed his dad who gave him a questioning look but Stiles just waved him off. He really didn't feel up to telling his dad how horrible his night went. Stiles went in and flopped down on his bed. Shutting his eyes, he figured he deserved a few minutes of peace. When he opened them it was a few hours later and his phone was going crazy. He looked down to see that Nicholas was calling.
"Hey"
"Oh thank god Stiles. It took you forever to answer. I thought something had happened to you. Especially after the way Derek stormed out of here. I was worried he would take some of his anger out on you."
"He wouldn't do that. He was mad but he was ignoring me so I dropped him off and went home. I fell asleep. Sorry I didn't answer sooner."
"It's okay. I am just glad you are alright. Now we are going to have to make up our movie night! Everyone wants you to come back over. You left right in the middle."
"Yea I will have to make it up to you. How about I call you once everything is talked through between Derek and I?"
"Oh why do I feel like this is the last time we are going to talk?"
"What, no. I am totally going to call you. I just really need to straighten Derek out. I don't want a repeat of what happened today especially with his Uncle being the alpha of your pack. That is going to cause major problems."
"Well I will wait for you call. I really hope that you do call me. Bye Stiles." And with that Nicholas hung up. Stiles was a little worried about how that conversation had ended. How could Nicholas think that their 'relationship' was over. He just wanted to tell Derek to back off that he was a big boy that could handle himself. Deep down some where Stiles felt that maybe a part of it Nicholas was right. This wasn't any good.
Derek stormed into the apartment and went straight to his room. He hadn't meant to ignore Stiles the whole was home but he knew if he had said anything he would have exploded. All he could think about was the smile of Stiles and Nicholas together and that just kept pushing him over the edge. He was going insane. How could Stiles do that to him? How could he fix things with Stiles? Was Stiles finally done with Derek and the pack and going to his Uncle and his pack. No way! Stiles hated Peter, he didn't trust him. Derek didn't trust him either. That's why Peter was kicked out and was suppose to go far away, not one town over. Ugh Derek wished so bad that he could go back three years ago when everything was alright between him and Stiles. Before he fucked up so bad that he was here now without a mate and living with someone he couldn't stand half the time. Derek was so out of it that he didn't even hear Scott enter his room.
"Derek?"
"Go away Scott!"
"Were is Stiles? He said he was with you."
"He left."
"Why?"
"I don't know Scott. Maybe cause he hates me. Maybe cause I fucked everything up and pushed him away. Did you know that he is with Peter now."
"WHAT! No Derek you need to fix this. Stiles cannot be around Peter. What the fuck dude. Stiles hates Peter. Oh you really need to fix this now! I will not let my friend, my brother hang with your zombie Uncle. GO FIX THIS NOW!"
"Its to late. I lost him." Derek whimpered and rolled away from the door. He had nothing left to say and he felt all the anger and emotion and power drain from him with that last thought. There was nothing left to fight for. Stiles didn't want him, he made that clear by sleeping with Nicholas, again. He had nothing left to live for.
"Derek get your ass up and go talk to Stiles. You cannot give up on him for one mistake. He doesn't know what he is doing. He is just trying to make you feel a little bit of what he felt like when you cheated with Danny." But Derek didn't listen to Scott, he just kept staring at the wall in front of him thinking of all the shit that had gone wrong in his life. Ever since Kate he hadn't had anything nice. Yea he got Stiles for awhile but he went and fucked that up and now he couldn't even get trying to win him back right. He was a lost cause, he was done. He threw in the towel, it was over. He faintly heard Scott storm out of the house and take off but he was just to tired to care.
Scott pulled into the Stilinski house hold ten minutes later. He had to get one of the two dumbass' to talk to the other. He tried Derek but now he had to try Stiles. Stiles was easier cause he was like a bother and if Scott begged and used his puppy eyes Stiles can never say no.
"No Scott!"
"But I haven't even asked you anything. In fact I haven't even said a word."
"I don't care. I am not going to talk to Derek. I am not the one in the wrong here. So if anything Derek is the one that needs to speak first."
"Oh come on Stiles. You know how stubborn Derek is. Just go talk to him and get the ball rolling. You can't ignore each other forever."
"Yes I can. Sides I don't think I am going to be around much longer. I have had a better thing come up."
"Oh no Stiles. You cannot join Peter's pack. You cannot trust him. You were not here when shit went down between him and Derek. He cannot be trusted. He will kill you Stiles all to get to Derek. I will not allow you to leave. Not again."
"Well its really not you decision I can hang with who ever I want. And you were right I wasn't here when shit went down between Peter and Derek hence I have nothing to do with it. Peter wouldn't kill me that would make Nicholas mad and then there would be a fight within his pack. I am not worth it for him to have one of his betas try and attack him. So I think I am alright. Besides I never said I was going to join their pack any ways. I think I am done with the whole werewolves and pack thing. I am thinking of going back to school. Away from here and all the bad memories. This town if just a bunch of bad memories and my dead mom."
"What about us? The pack, your dad, Derek? You can't leave us again. I get it the first time you left because Derek really fucked up but man you gotta know how much it killed all of us for you to be away. You can't do that again. Its not fair and I won't let you."
"Not fair? I will tell you what's not fair. They guy you love sleeping with someone else and getting them pregnant Coming home and meeting said child and them hating you. Having that child scream and yell every time they are near you. Knowing that you can't be with the one you love because you would never make them choose. So you want to talk about what is fair and what isn't how about you take that shit and shove it up you ass!" Stiles' face was bright red with all of his yelling. Scott just looked at him with a look of shock and confusing.
"Stiles..."
"No Scott, I think its time you left. I got nothing left to say." With that Scott knew he wasn't going to be able to talk with Stiles any more. So he back out and went down stairs. He ran into the sheriff on the way to the door.
"Scott hold up a sec."
"Yes Sheriff."
"I know what's been going on between Derek and Stiles and this Nicholas fellow. He came to me almost a week ago trying to find answers but I really didn't know what to tell him. I love my son Scott and I want whats best for him and if he wants to go back to college away from it all maybe, well maybe that's what he needs. And you gotta support him on that. You know if he goes away again and you two don't make up before that, well I am scared that he will never come back. Yea he has me here but I am not enough for my son to return. Don't turn you back on him now Scott, not when he needs you the most." Scott was standing there with his mouth hanging open looking at the sheriff. Was that what Stiles needed. Did he really need to go away again. Scott didn't know if he could handle Stiles leaving again. He knew Derek couldn't. But maybe the sheriff was right. Maybe Stiles need space and some were that no one knew him and where he didn't have to deal with the supernatural. But could Scott let him go? Not for another two years. Even if Stiles left, it wouldn't be like the last time. Scott wouldn't stand for being ignored for another two years. He could do this, for Stiles. If that's what Stiles really wants.
A/N:This chapter was so hard to get out. I wrote half of it the deleted it and I am not really liking it. I have no idea where this story is going. It has gotten way out of hand. I am not even any where close to what I had first thought of this story. I really want to thank you for taking your time reading this story and reviewing. I really like having your input cause I am so not even sure what direction I am going to take this in. I will take any suggestions you have. I will try and make it up to you in the next chapter.
