As I lay in bed I couldn't help but hate my parents decision to get me involved in this life.
My father made his stupid decision to trust the boss and my mother made a stupid decision to get involved with the Hale family, which bit her in the ass by getting her killed.
I knew that Derek was being tortured but I couldn't do a thing about it, not without revealing myself and putting myself at risk.
A few days before the formal Lydia called me asking if I wanted to go dress shopping, I accepted her offer, I mean I had to get out sometime, after all I had been in my room since Jackson had left and I was getting bored with staring at the walls of my room all the time.
As I pulled up to the mall I saw Lydia and Allison pull up, I got out and hugged them "where have you been?" Lydia asked me, her tone practically commanding an answer "oh erm I was home sick, had a sickness bug" she looked disgusted "well you asked!" I laughed at her, we walked inside I was getting bored with Allison's lack of talking "ok so what is wrong with you Allison?" I asked "nothings wrong I just have a lot on my mind" we boarded the escalators "you could smile at least" Lydia said, "ever hear the saying 'never frown, someone could be falling in love with your smile'" Allison snorted "smile Allison, I'm buying you a dress" I looked at her "i have to admit as far as apologies go that's more than I expected" I scoffed at her "excellent" I looked in my handbag for my purse and my credit card "but not as much as I'm gonna ask" I looked at her "what what's that supposed to mean?" Lydia asked "it means you are going to cancel on what ever dumb jock you said yes to and your going to go with somebody else" I looked at suddenly catching on to her plan "who?" Lydia asked confused "him" Allison said looking at Stiles who was sniffing perfume, and sneezed at one of them "aww don't frown Lydia someone could be falling in love with your smile" Allison said "or he could already be in love with it" I pointed out, knowing that Stiles has had the biggest crush on Lydia since the third grade,Stiles waved at us.
As we began to shop I quickly told Allison about Stiles crush on Lydia and went my own way towards the purple dresses, I saw a few pretty blue ones "well isn't this sweet?" I heard my boss say, I quickly turned around and glared at him "you know purple is your colour Meridithe, but red does look beautiful on you, especially when its somebodies blood splattered on your skin" I glared at him even more. He couldn't reveal me not here "you have 2 days to take out all of the wolves Meridithe or we will take you out and make your little friends watch" I'm sure I turned white at that statement as I could feel my fear set in at the death threat.
As the time came around to get ready for the fomal I got a call from Scott
"hey Meridithe"
"hello Scott how can I help you?" I was setting out my dress and hair products ready for the dance
"I kinda need a way in to the dance, any suggestions?" I laughed at his awkwardness
"you always come with me, could I come round to yours and get ready, I might even let you drive my car" I teased him knowing that he has wanted to drive my car since he saw it
"great see you soon"
I hung up and grabbed my sandals and put them back on. When I got to Scotts house his mom opened the door for me "thanks Mrs McCall" she smiled at me and lead me upstairs to her room "you can get ready in here sweetheart" I hugged her as she was like a mum to me "could you help me with my hair please" I asked knowing that it would make her feel better, I had already washed my hair so it just needed curling and some of it could be pinned back, she set on her curling tongs and set to work on my hair "its nice doing this you know" I looked at her out of the corner of my eye "what do you mean?" I asked "well its like having a daughter, I get to do girly things and I got to teach you how to wear make up and how to use it" I smiled remembering the lessons on make up I got before I left, I remembered the mirrors lined up and her teaching me how to do my eye liner and how to apply foundation correctly "there you go sweetie all finished and I've pinned a few bits back too" I looked in the mirror and admired her handiwork, I threw my arms around her in a hug "thank you so much I love it" I carefully, with help, slipped my dress on and put on some purple eye shadow a bit of eye liner and a bit of lip gloss. I walked in to Scotts room to see him doing his tie "very dashing Scott, Allison wont know what hit her when she sees you" he then started stressing about his pants as they had ripped in the backside area "alright take them off" his mom ordered, I turned around after she came back she sat on the bed and sewed up the hole "so is she coming here?" I looked at her "no I'm going in the car with Meridithe but I'm going stag" I shrugged my shoulders when she looked at me.
I got up and went to the bathroom out in the hall one last time before we left, when I came back Scott had his pants on and we went down to my car and set off "hey Meridithe your a girl" I rolled my eyes "oh well spotted, but yes your point is?" I asked "you know how girls like to be loved" I raised my eyebrow "yes" I encouraged him to continue "how should I tell Allison that I love her" I internally giggled "just say it straight out, no fumbling, no backing out and no refering to other people, we women like to know that a guy thinks of us and only us, it makes us feel loved and special, you know?" he looked at me as we had pulled up to the school "thanks that actually made sense and seemed clever" I laughed "thanks I do have my moments" I got out of the car and stood next to Stiles Jeep which had just pulled in, as Scott was going to use a different entrance to us, to avoid being caught mainly was the reason behind using the roof. I saw Stiles get out of the car and open the door for Lydia "Jackson" Lydia said sounding surprised whilst brushing down her dress "you look handsome" she commented "obviously" he said, his ego size threatening to engulf the planet "I don't care, I don't want compliments, I will not fall pray to societies desire to turn girls into emotionally insecure neurotics" I laughed at my friends rant "well I think you look beautiful" Stiles said to Lydia, I smiled at them "come on already, its kinda cold out here" he offered his arms to both of us and we all walked in together "wow Stiles aren't you a lucky guy" I said smiling he looked at me confused "you have two very pretty girls on your arms, aren't you a lucky man?" I asked and got a little smug "yeah I guess I am" he said gazing adoringly at Lydia, after sitting down for a moment I went and danced in the crowd I sat down after a while as my feet began to hurt a bit "you wanna dance?" Stiles asked Lydia "pass" she said "you know what let me try that again" he said getting up "Lydia get off your cute little ass and dance with me now" I looked at him in shock "interesting tactic but its still no" I rolled my eyes at her "Lydia get up! Okay? You're gonna dance with me, I don't care that you made out with my best friend for some weird power thing, Lydia I've had a crush on you since the third grade, and I know that somewhere inside that cold lifeless exterior that there's an actual human soul, and I'm also pretty sure that I'm the only one who knows how smart you really are, and that once you're done pretending to be a nitwit, you'll eventually go off and write some insane mathematical theorem that wins you the Nobel prize" I sat there stunned at my friends show of balls "fields medal" Lydia said I looked at her "what?" Stiles asked "Nobel isn't a prize for mathematics, he fields medal is the one I'll be winning" she grabbed his hand and lead him out onto the dance floor, he did a mini show of victory and followed her.
I watched Allison start to dance with Scott and he followed mine and his mothers advice, I also noticed Jackson stumble out of the dance. I put my shoes back on and followed him as quietly as I could, he stopped by his car so I stopped behind Stiles Jeep and waited until he made a move. He stared into the forest, I quickly followed him "COME ON" he yelled "I wanna be like you, I wanna be one of you, please" he dropped to the floor mid sentence. I saw red lights come out of the fog and it was the aiming beam from the hunters weapons "unfortunately Jackson I don't think I can give you what you want" the Argent hunter moved forward "but I have a feeling that you might be able to help me" he made Jackson stand and we walked out of the forest, as we got to the concrete I took of my heels "you promise? You won't hurt him?" Jackson asked "of course not he's just a kid" Kris Argent walked him out of the forest "what are you gonna do?" they stopped "I'm gonna take care of him" he let Jackson go and I followed him into the school "you do realise making a deal with them is only gonna bite you in the arse right?" Jackson whirled around "how did you find me" I laughed "not much gets past me, least of all an Argent but it was worth a try" we walked back to the room "where the hell have you been? Did Lydia ever find you? What what's wrong" Stiles asked when he didn't get an answer "I was out behind the school and I was out and I" he could seem to get his words out "what? What happened?" Stiles asked "Jackson what did you do?" Jackson couldn't seem to answer I shook my head "right we need to get Lydia back here now, Stiles go toward the lacrosse pitch, we will check the halls" he nodded and walked away. We walked away and started to check the halls, Jacksons cell phone started to beep, he picked up "its Lydia, she's been attacked"
