Chapter Eight (Derek's POV)
I woke up next to Jennifer, naked. I cursed myself. How could I do this when I had Ally, she is an amazing girl. She probably thought I was dead, and here I am fucking Jennifer. What is wrong with me? My phone started ringing and I answered without looking at who it was.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Derek? Ethan was right. You're alive?" I heard Scott on the other end and someone in the background shout with joy.
"Yeah, it took a while to heal, and I was nearly dead. What have I missed?"
"Well Ennis is dead, but hey Ally wants to talk to you." My heart rate quickened, she's going to be able to tell something is wrong. I got up and walked into the bathroom with clothes in my hand before Ally got on the phone.
"Derek?" She asked and I could tell just by the sound of her voice that she was close to tears.
"Hey, Ally." Was all I could say, I didn't want to give anything away. Hopefully, she won't ever find out what happened.
"You're alive? I thought you were dead, we all did. When can I see you?" You could hear her breath hitch when she said the word dead.
"I'll come by with coffee for everyone later, is that okay?"
"Yeah, it's perfect, I'll stop somewhere with Isaac and Scott to get food. Do you want anything in particular?"
"Uhm, just get me anything. And what does everyone want from the coffee shop?" I heard her talking to everyone.
"Isaac wants a black coffee, Stiles wants a vanilla cappuccino, Scott wants a coffee frappuccino, and I want the same as Scott."
"What about Lydia, Allison, and Boyd?"
"They are about to leave, and Cora is with your uncle." I heard a stirring outside of the bathroom and peaked out; Jennifer was sitting up making no attempt to cover herself. She looked over at me and smiled.
"Okay, I'll be there in a couple hours. I can't wait to see you."
"Me neither, bye Derek." She said and hung up. I walked out of the bathroom and grabbed Jennifer's clothes off of the floor. I handed them to her.
"You might want to get dressed." I kept eye contact, trying not to look at her nudity.
"Aw, why? I was hoping we could go again." She said, but she didn't say it like she was trying to seduce me, she said it as if she didn't know I was dating one of her students.
"We can't, I have a girlfriend. In fact you know her." Her eyes got wide and she started to get dressed.
"Why didn't you tell me?" She said sounding hurt.
"I don't know, I should have, I'm sorry." I couldn't finish my sentence before Isaac walked into the apartment. "I thought you were with Ally."
"I was, I came back to get the rest of my stuff since you kicked me out. Ally wants me to stay with her." He looked over at Jennifer noticing her for the first time, I could tell he automatically knew what happened considering the fact Jennifer only had her skirt and bra on. His eyes grew wide and then accusatory. "How could you? How could you do this to Ally?"
"Wait Ally? As in Allyssa Walton? My student? That's who you're dating?" Jennifer asked. I nodded my head in response. "I think it's best if I go, call me when you decide to start telling me the truth. Oh and thank you, I won't ever be able to look Ally in the eyes again." She walked out as she was buttoning her blouse. Isaac ran upstairs and packed up the rest of her things. When he came back downstairs he looked at me coldly.
"Either you tell her by the end of the day, or I will." Isaac said and walked out.
(Allyssa's POV)
I was in the kitchen when I heard the front door slam. Walked into the foyer to see a pissed off Isaac.
"Isaac, what's wrong? What happened?" I asked him hesitantly considering he had gone to Derek's so whatever pissed him off must have been at Derek's.
"Hopefully you'll find out from someone else so I won't be the one to have to upset you." I was about to ask him what he meant when Scott and Stiles came up from the basement. I looked over at the boys.
"So, you want your man cave down there?" They looked at each other and said hell yeah in unison. "Okay, I'll order the stuff tomorrow, but can you guys run to the Chinese place and get these." I gave them a paper with a list of different dishes and forty dollars. They nodded and left in Stiles' jeep.
"So do you want to tell me what you meant when you came in?" Before he could answer there was a knock on the door. I answered the door and saw the most beautiful thing I had seen in days, Derek. Isaac had followed me and before I jumped into Derek's arms Isaac grabbed the coffees so I wouldn't burn myself. I jumped into his arms and he spun me around. I could feel the tears fall onto my cheeks. I lifted my head from his shoulder and kissed him deeply. I heard a coughing and we pulled away from each other to see Scott and Stiles.
"How about y'all quit making out long enough for us to eat before the food gets cold." Scott said and walked inside with Stiles trailing behind him. I put my hand in Derek's and walked into the house. Derek stopped me.
"I have to talk to you in private, like right now." He said and looked over at Isaac. Was this what Isaac meant earlier? I nodded and lead him to my room.
"What do you have to tell me?" I said scared of what the answer might be.
"Well, you know the two days you thought I was dead?" I nodded. "Well, I had gone looking for someone to help me and I found Jennifer, your teacher." I didn't say a word. "Well, she took me home and looked after me, and when I was almost completely healed I felt a connection with her." I knew where this is going.
"You fucked her didn't you?" He nodded. I started walking out but he grabbed my arm.
"I'm sorry, please don't hate me." I shook him off.
"I don't hate you, you are still my alpha, but you aren't my boyfriend. So much for loving me huh?" I walked out quickly, but that didn't stop me from seeing the pained look on his face. I felt bad even though I didn't do anything wrong. I couldn't stop myself from crying as I ran downstairs. The boys saw me but it was Isaac that came towards me. I practically ran to him when he opened his arms.
"You knew?" I asked.
"Only for about an hour, I wanted him to be the one to tell you, I told him if he wouldn't I would." He tightened his grip on me. "I'm sorry he did this to you." My tears were soaking through his shirt.
"I should have chosen you. You wouldn't have done something like this." He smoothed my hair down my back.
"Calm down, everything will be fine." Last time Isaac held me when I was crying hysterically was when I thought Derek was dead. I heard Derek coming down the stairs but didn't look up, I heard him stop near me then leave. I started to calm down by the fact that he wasn't there and I pulled away from Isaac.
"So, anyone want food?" I started making the plates to keep my mind off of what just happened. When I went to grab drinks I remembered Derek had brought coffee, I guess I shouldn't let it go to waste. When I went to hand Scott his, he pulled me into a hug. I breathed in his scent. "I'm sorry he did that." I shrugged.
"I don't have the best luck with guys." I got silverware and everyone sat at the table. "So uh, I can start ordering stuff for the man cave tonight. I still got a couple million from my mom's estate. And I have a few rooms upstairs we could use, but I want one just for my art stuff." Everyone nodded in agreement.
"I have a couple thousand saved up that we could put towards it." Scott put in.
"No, I'm buying; my treat, well Mom's and I owe it to you for her trying to kill you." Scott just nodded. "So you order it and we come back tomorrow to help you go pick it up?"
"If that's what you want, or we could all stay in the basement tonight, I mean there are three large recliners, two couches, and a love seat, and the couches have pull out beds." I looked over at Isaac and he nodded.
"Yeah that's fine with me." Stiles said and Scott agreed. We ate dinner while talking. They kept telling jokes to make me laugh so I would feel better and every now and then I would look at Isaac and he would smile at me. After we were done Scott and Stiles did the dishes while Isaac went upstairs to help me get blankets and such.
I got up to the top step and just sat down, Isaac didn't notice because he was in front of me. I guess when he didn't hear my footsteps behind him anymore he turned around.
"You okay?" He asked me sounding concerned.
"Yeah I'm fine, just wanted to sit." He nodded and came to sit next to me. I put my head on his shoulder and he put his arm around me.
"I mean, are you okay?" He said again and I knew what he meant.
"Yeah, no, I don't know. I will be, that much I do know, I will be okay." He rubbed my arms and sighed. I looked at him and his eyes had never been more beautiful. We started to lean in towards each other until I realized what I was doing. I quickly backed away and stood up. "We should get those blankets."
"Yeah." I held out my hand and helped him up. We walked over to the closet with the blankets in them and I gave him two fluffy comforters, a thin blanket for me and three pillows. "Why three there are four of us."
"I'm going to use my pillow." He nodded and I walked into my room. "I'm also going to get into my pajamas."
"Kay." He said as I walked into the bathroom with a pair of black shorts that said flags on the butt and a white camisole from Aeropostale that came up my stomach a little to show about an inch or two of my tanned skin. I grabbed my pillow and walked out.
"Ready?" He nodded and we went back downstairs. Scott and Stiles had just got done washing the last plate. Stiles looked over at me.
"Crap, I forgot my laptop." I said just before I ran upstairs. I went into my room and grabbed my laptop, it was right next to my box of Chinese ring daggers that Uncle Chris had got me last year, he had gotten me and Alli matching sets for our birthdays. It's hard to believe that until last year, we had been really close. Before she had moved to Beacon Hills we used to do gymnastics together and train together with Uncle Chris and Aunt Victoria. We had been practically sisters, but we stopped being like that when she moved here, I hope we can end up being that way again.
I ran downstairs with my laptop in hand. The boys were all talking quietly. Like they didn't want me to hear.
"What are you talking about?" I asked and startled them.
"Oh nothing, just making plans for the man cave." Stiles said stumbling on his words.
"I see, now does someone want to tell me the truth?" Isaac moved out of the way and I saw that they had been looking at my sketchbook. "Okay, why are you whispering about my drawings?" Isaac held up the page they were open to.
"Because we found this." He showed me the page of the dead boy, then turned it to the dead girl, and then to the girl tied to the tree. He kept going. "Every pictured you have drawn so far, has come true."
"What?" Isaac nodded. I began to tremble; I put my laptop down so I wouldn't drop it. "Okay, there is something you should know. I don't remember drawing any of those, I mean I know I did, but I black out whenever I do."
"Like Lydia, when she finds bodies." Stiles whispered to Scott.
"Heard that." I said casually. "But why would I be drawing dead bodies?"
"We don't know, but tomorrow we can go see Deaton and see if he knows why." Scott put in. I nodded.
"Let's go downstairs." I said. I grabbed my laptop and started walking to the basement door. The boys followed behind me like ducklings following their mother. We went downstairs and pulled the beds out of the couch and put a blanket on the loveseat. Isaac started walking towards the loveseat but I grabbed his arm.
"Oh come on, you can stay in the same bed as me, you've done it before. The only reason I put that there is because I doubt Scott and Stiles want to share a bed together." They looked at each other and shook their heads. "That's what I thought; you two can decide who gets the loveseat and who gets the bed." As soon as I stopped they went into a game of rock paper scissors. Stiles lost and got the loveseat but he shrugged it off. I went to grab some DVDs and let the boys decide what they wanted to watch while I went up and made a few bags of popcorn and poured them into two different bowls.
I walked back downstairs and saw they had put Harry Potter in.
"It's official, I love you all. You have amazing movie taste." I said and they all laughed. I handed a bowl to Scott and sat next to Isaac. Stiles walked over and plopped down next to Scott and started eating the popcorn. Isaac leaned in and whispered in my ear.
"Kind of reminds me of the first time I came over." I looked over at him and smiled.
"I thought that too when I was making popcorn." He smiled back at me. "Shit, I forgot drinks. Isaac, wanna come help me?" He nodded and got up with me. We reached the stairs and he let me go ahead of him. We got upstairs and I grabbed four cans of Coke while Isaac grabbed four glasses. He put the glasses down and looked at me.
"Thanks." I said.
"No problem, I know you're short." He said smiling.
"No, not that. For being there for me, for not hating me even though I chose Derek, even though you encouraged me to. Just thanks." I had walked over to the counter and started pouring the drinks while I was talking.
"Of course." I looked at him and smiled. My smile slowly went away as we leaned in towards each other, this time I didn't back away and our lips met. I closed my eyes and wrapped my arms around his neck. He lifted me by my waist and put me on the kitchen island. I wrapped my legs around his waist and tugged on his hair a little; he moaned and started kissing down my neck. I put my hand in his hair and gripped slightly. His kisses had gotten to my collar bone and he stopped and started kissing my lips again. We were at this for what felt like only seconds but had apparently been minutes because we hear feet on the stairs we slowly jumped away from each other.
"Quick, think of an excuse as to why we haven't come down yet." Isaac said.
"Uh, we were waiting for me to heal." He looked at me weird as I snapped my ankle. "We'll say I tripped coming up and I broke it." He nodded and fixed his tousled hair. He walked over and finished pouring the drinks as Stiles opened the door.
"What's taking so long? You've been gone for twenty minutes." Oh, I was wrong.
"She, being her clumsy self, tripped and broke her ankle. We are waiting for her to heal. Here, take these down there and put them on the table." He gave Stiles two cups. "We'll bring the others down when we come down." Stiles nodded and left. I turned to look at Isaac.
"Think he bought it?" I asked. He nodded. "Wait why do we care if they know we kissed?"
"Scott might tell Derek and we would both get heat for it." I nodded in realization.
"Even though Derek is probably out fucking Jennifer right now." He shrugged.
"I don't care what he is doing, I am pissed at him for what he did to you." I kissed him gently. "Your ankle healed yet?" I tried to move it, it was stiff but I could walk on it. I nodded. He helped me down and I winced. "You know what?" I looked at him and he snapped my ankle. My eyes turned gold. "Calm down, I'll carry you."
"You could have just carried me; you didn't have to break my ankle again." He shrugged then picked me up bridal style. I grabbed to two glasses of Coke and he carried me downstairs. Stiles and Scott looked up at me.
"Still not healed?" Stiles asked. I glared at Isaac.
"Nope."
"You probably aren't healing as fast because you are a new wolf."
"No, I accidentally broke it again. I was getting down as soon as it started to heal and landed wrong. Yes, I'm a very huge klutz, I know." Isaac carried me over to the bed and Scott looked at my ankle.
"Ouch, this looks terrible, but it should be healed within the next hour." I nodded. I lie down next to Isaac and put the bowl between our legs and cuddled up to his side. Scott and Stiles stared at me.
"What? He's comfortable." I felt Isaac chuckle next to me.
"It's just you two look like a cute couple." I rolled my eyes and Stiles started talking.
"Hey is it okay if Lydia and Allison come over? They don't want to be alone with the alpha pack pissed about Ennis." I nodded.
"Then they are going to get the bed, unless one of them doesn't mind sleeping next to one of you, but if not one of you gets the loveseat and one of you gets a recliner." They shrugged. A couple minutes later Stiles got a text and went upstairs, he came back with Allison and Lydia who had snacks. "Good, I won't have to go upstairs anymore." I opened the laptop and had the boys sit around me so we could order things for their man cave.
"Okay, we already have a TV and Xbox, so what do you guys want?"
"How about a PC and computer desk for the corner over there?" Scott asked I nodded and looked for a good computer and a black computer desk.
"Do you guys know how to use a Mac or should I stick to windows?" I asked them not knowing what their preferences were.
"Let's stick to windows." Stiles said and I ordered a computer with a touch screen monitor and windows 8 installed.
"Hm, what else?" I asked them.
"A fridge, not a mini fridge but a fridge and a microwave." Isaac put in. I looked up stainless steel refrigerators and they only had French doors. "They only have French doors, where the top has two doors for a fridge and a large drawer for a freezer, is that okay?" They nodded. I ordered that and a matching microwave.
"What else?" I was looking around waiting for one of the boys to speak up but it was Lydia that did.
"Get a bar, I'll chip in for that, but yeah a bar would be nice and I could get someone to get the alcohol and you can order a soda machine for less than two hundred dollars. And you will also need barstools." I nodded and ordered everything that she said.
"Anything else guys?"
"Get a tall table." I nodded and went to a furniture website to order one. "That it?" They nodded. "Okay, the websites said they can all be picked up tomorrow afternoon. Who's going to help me go get everything?" Isaac and Scott volunteered, which meant if Scott came so would Stiles, Alli and Lydia didn't offer. I looked at the time and realized it had taken us three hours to order everything and that it was already one in the morning.
"Okay, am I the only one wide awake still?" They all shook their heads. "Okay, so let's watch a scary movie. Hm, suggestions?" Isaac asked.
"How about Seven?" Lydia offered.
"That movie terrifies me." Stiles put in; we looked at him and stared. He realized what he said and before he could justify it we laughed. I looked through the DVDs I had brought down knowing I brought down that movie. When I found it I gave it to Stiles to put in the player. Allison and Scott looked at each other awkwardly as I moved closer to Isaac. Allison got up and sat in a recliner and Lydia laid down next to Scott with Stiles on her other side. I guess it didn't bother Allison because Lydia had known Scott since they were in third grade I think. Isaac put his arms around me and I smiled. I lay my head on Isaac's shoulder and the next thing I know I'm dreaming.
I was lying out on the beach and all of a sudden someone lies next to me. I look over and see Isaac. I smile and kiss him lightly.
"Hi there." I say with a large smile on my face.
"Hello, beautiful." He replies. All of a sudden his eyes start turning gold and he starts looking weak. I look around to see wolfs bane surrounding us, why wasn't it affecting me? Allison appears next to me with her ring daggers and I look down at my hands and notice I am holding my set as well. She smiles menacingly at me. And my mom appears next to her. I look at Isaac.
"Ally, help. Please." I feel wetness on my hands and look down. They are covered in blood. I look at Isaac again and see his stomach slashed open and I am the only one with bloody hands.
"What? No, no please be okay." I crawl to him and try to hold his stomach closed but Allison comes up behind him and slices his throat open.
"No!" I yell as I jump awake. Everyone is asleep. I crawl off of the bed and walk upstairs. I go to the sink and grab a glass from the dish washer and get a glass of water. I leaned against the counter and gulped it down. I heard steps and looked over at the door that leads to the basement. Isaac came out.
"I woke up and you weren't there." He walked over to me and put his hands on my waist.
"Sorry, I just had a bad dream." I leaned into him.
"About?"
"Allison, my mom, and you."
"Want to tell me what happened?" I shook my head against his chest. "Okay." He kissed the top of my head and started humming and swayed back and forth. "Dance with me." I looked up at him.
"What?"
"Dance with me."
"Uh, okay." I put one hand on his should and one in his hand. I let him lead. He moved me all around the kitchen while humming; he wasn't even looking at me. He was looking around the kitchen and I took that as my chance to look at him, and I mean really look at him. He really was gorgeous; he had amazing blue eyes and a very defined jawline. He looked down at me and caught me staring.
"What?" He asked me smiling.
"Nothing, I was just looking at you. Really looking at you." I replied.
"And? What do you see?"
"A gorgeous guy that I really like and that I should have chosen." His smile changed into something warmer. He grabbed my chin and slowly lowered his face to mine. I put my arms around his neck and welcomed the kiss. He cupped my head and deepened the kiss. I was the first one to pull away.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." He looked at me confused.
"For what? You didn't do anything wrong." I shook my head.
"Yes I did, I made the worst mistake I could have made. I chose Derek over you; I wish I hadn't so I could have been with you sooner." He looked at me and smiled widely.
"Does that mean we are together?" He asked with a childish look on his face.
"If you want to, it is completely up to you." I replied. He nodded. "Really?" I asked thinking that he would have said no because I didn't choose him first.
"Yes, really. I want to be with you. I've wanted to be with you since I met you about a month ago." I smiled and got on my tippy toes and kissed him. "They can stay down there, we are staying in my room because that bed messed up my back, and there we don't have to worry about waking them up, but first I have to go get my pillow." I walked downstairs grabbed my pillow, phone, and laptop and came back up to the main level. He took the pillow from me and grabbed me hand. We walked upstairs and into my room. He put my pillow on the bed and lay down on the side he stayed on last time he was here. I come lay next to him and kiss him. "Goodnight." I say.
"Goodnight beautiful." He says as I lay my head on his shoulder and slowly drift into a deep slumber.
