A Broken Full Moon
Ch.8 It's Too Late Pt. 2
Lunatic
Then:
I had wanted to help Scott for the full moon but decided against it since Rome was sick. So once we got home I gave Rome some crackers and water. He slept in my room for the night since Scott was a werewolf I wanted to take precautions. I had investigated the town and knew there were some ruins underground that he could use when he transformed. The ruins were deep below and went under the school. I had gotten the idea to research that from the Vampire Diaries. I told Scott but he said he didn't want to be locked up like some animal. Right, he wasn't some animal. Now, once I settled Rome in my room I put earphones in his ears so he wouldn't Scott in his room. I didn't want Rome to get hurt so I stayed with Stiles sitting beside him outside Scott's room. I asked "how is he?" Stiles simply shook his head and there was a moment of silence. I looked at Stiles and we ran in to see no Scott. I sighed. I turned to Stiles "you go. I have to take care of Rome."
Now:
I woke up to pitch black darkness I rolled onto my side and looked at my alarm that read 2 A.M I shifted onto my back and looked up at my ceiling. That's when I heard a crunch of movement. I whipped around to look for the intruder to see a shadow leaning on my bed post. I reached for the bat under my bed. The figure was turned so his back was to me. I approached slowly and swung when an arm wrapped around my waist and another grabbed the bat. "Is that how you greet me?" I hear Eyebrows voice and my heart fluttered. I sighed in relief and whispered "Derek, you scared the crap out of me…again. What are you doing here?" He answered "well, I'm a wanted man, now. I kind of need somewhere to stay for the night." I sighed and said "you can stay here." I grabbed a pillow off my bed and a spare blanket and rolled it onto the floor.
"There," I said to him. His eyes gazed at me and I stood up beside him and leaned on the bed post. I asked "what is it?" He said "we should talk about what happened?" I asked "what do you mean?" My heart pounded and he said "Ale, at the hospital." I gulped as my heart raced and I said "I know. Look, I get it"- I was cut off as he got off the post and stepped towards me and smashed his lips against mine. I braced myself against the wooden post as I wrapped my arms around his neck and one of his hands rested on my hip while the other tangled itself in my hair. I gasped as I felt him press himself closer to me. His lips were everywhere, his teeth nipped my bottom lip and I opened my mouth as he slid in my mouth. After a few moments I pulled away when I needed to breathe. I looked shocked up at him. I had just made out with Derek Hale. He leaned his forehead on me as he said "that should've been done at the hospital."
I forced my heart to slow down as I felt the throbbing of it in my chest. Derek looked down and said "that's new." I gave him a confused look and he rested a hand above my breasts on my heart and said "it's beating like a hummingbird. I've never really paid attention to it, unless when someone's lying." I replied "you have that effect." My cheeks burned and he said "the feeling's mutual." He let his hand drop as his face held confusion. I asked "what?" He turned and sighed as he said "I came here to tell you that we should just stop whatever this"- he pointed to us and continued "is. But you- it's hard to say that when you're right here beside me." I asked "why?" He asked "why what?" I explained "this thing between us why stop it?" He replied "I'm a werewolf, Ale, it's not easy." I replied "I don't get you."
He replied "you're my weakness. I can't concentrate on killing the alpha if what's on my head 24/7 is where's Alex? I wonder what she's doing, or if she's alright. I can't think about that when I'm tracking the alpha." I looked him in the eye and said "you're wrong. For one, I can look after myself. You're wrong, I'm not your weakness, and you're just afraid and making up excuses." Derek turned to me "afraid? I don't have anything to be afraid of. You should be afraid." I replied "no, you are afraid. You're afraid to let someone in, to try and start something with someone. You're afraid to love or be loved for the matter."
"I said it's too late to apologize,
It's too late"
Derek gritted his teeth and then smirked as he leaned forward and said "you think I love you? This between us isn't love, its attraction and that's all it's going to be, Alex. Besides, you're damaged goods right?"
"I'd take another chance,
Take a fall,
Take a chance,
For you
I need you like a heart needs a beat,
But that's nothing new"
I balled my hands into fist as I felt tears brim in my eyes I looked back at Derek to see his face go blank. I said "you want to end this so bad, fine. Get out and don't come back." He jumped out the window and I said "I hate you." I saw him pause and turn around to me but just jumped down. I ran to my window and slammed it down and locked it. I hated him, I hated him.
"It's too late to apologize,
It's too late,
I said it's too late to apologize,
Yeah
It's too late to apologize
A Yeah"
I slid down as I wrapped my arms around my knees and let the tears roll freely down my face.
Derek P.O.V
I saw how Scott had attacked Allison. Although my feelings for Alex were there I didn't want her to end up dead. And she was right in some part I was scared. I couldn't lose her like I almost had. I didn't deserve her, especially not after what I said. In my head I knew I wasn't going to last long without her. But I could hope right? I knew by tomorrow I'd be groveling at her feet. I'd try to fight these feelings, but in the end they'd win. I didn't want her stuck here, I mean after all what did I have to offer. Man, I'm turning into Edward Cullen.
"I'm holding on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the,
Ground"
