"Derek? I need to talk to you, I know you're here." I was standing in front of his door. I waited some seconds and turned around. Right on that moment the door was opened.
"Marylin? What are you doing here?" Derek asked.
"I need to tell you something, and I need advise." I explained.
"Advise? From me? Hah, you're funny." He grinned.
"I'm not trying to be funny, I really need help and you're the first person I thought of. I have lied to one of my best friends to see you and I was coming anyway since I promised it." I sighed. Boys...
"Okay, come in." He smiled.
"Thanks." I looked at him, first acting weird and then be nice? Nuh.
Derek took me upstairs to his room. It started to be the special conversation room or something. I sat down on the bed.
"Okay, the first thing that I needed to tell you was this. Jackson kissed me again. And I was stupid enough to kiss back. I can't forget about him. I hate and like it at the same time. We need to keep everything secret from his girlfriend. Oh my god, I hate it so much." I gave him a desperate look.
"Well, it's not that hard to forget him but if you really like him.. Just go for it. However, you need to make sure that he will break up with his girlfriend, because he is cheating. No girl deserves that. And now, what advise did you need?" He was being very calm, but when I told about the kiss something in his eyes changed, in a negative way.
"I have these dreams in which I can see the future. Especially important things that will happen. Sometimes I get frightened by the dreams and it is difficult to deal with that. And if that isn't enough, with some people I have a connection, I feel it when they are present. I got it with people like Scott, Stiles, Jackson, and ehm... And you." I blushed because of the last words.
"What about that? Wait what, me?" He asked full of surprise.
"Yes, you. I don't know what is wrong with me. Stiles thinks I'm a physic or something. What do you think?"
"Well, maybe he is right. I don't know what you are. How does it feel when someone is present?"
"It's like a bad headache. I look around me and I automatically find you. the feeling doesn't go away unless you leave or I touch you. It kills me." I explained.
"I'll think about it. Oh, are you sleeping over here tonight as well?" He asked.
"I don't know, I think so.. My mom isn't at home so I'd like it."
"Okay." That was his only reply.
I lay down with my head on Derek's lap. I could see his face. He looked down at me with a smile. The sun shone on his face.
"How can I forget Jackson?" I asked very sudden.
"I'll show you later this evening." He said.
"Why were you at scott's today. You freaked him, and me, out!"
"He can't play saturday. It's too dangerous."
Derek and I were laying in his bed. It was in the middle of the night and we had been talking for hours.
"I should be sleeping by now." I whispered.
"And I should be, I don't know.. Should be doing something."
I chuckled. ''You should be helping me with Jackson."
"Oh, I almost forgot about that." He looked at me. "There are so many boys who like you already. You shouldn't be stressing over Jackson.''
''It's easy to say that. You don't know how it feels. It is something in his eyes, something in the way he acts, it is something about him. I really don't know how to deal with guys like him. I've never met anyone like him before." I hesitated before I added; "Just like I have never met someone like you."
A smile appeared on his face. ''Is that a positive thing? Or negative?"
"Positive, I guess."
"Well, at least it is positive."
I glanced at him. "You're a great guy, I feel bad for you living alone. It's nice when you're around."
"You have a good influence on me. When you're not around I could easily hurt people. You make me feel.. Human."
"Live with me. With me and my mom in a house. She works a lot and there are a lot of free rooms."
"I'll think of it." Hell no you won't, you'll forget my offer.
"I should get some rest. School tomorrow.."
"Wait. Come over here."
"You are way too cute to resist. It's unfair." I rolled over so I lay closer to Derek. He grinned and wrapped his arms around me, just like last night.
"Maybe I could get used to this. I enjoy the time we spend together." I said.
"Maybe you should come over a lot. More time to spend together." He whispered in my ears.
I turned over so Derek lay on his back. I lay my head on his chest and listened to his breathing.
"This lays comfortable." I said.
He nodded. Again he wrapped his arms around me.
"Good night." I whispered as I closed my eyes.
Scott was acting weird today. He kept looking at Lydia, not as in checking her out or something. He looked at her like she was a poisonous snake. And that was not everything, he was extremely protective. Especially over Allison. As soon as she was around Lydia, or a boy, he just ran up to her and randomly started talking.
I just came from my locker when I saw him asking loads of questions to Allison. I walked towards them and heard that it was about a jacket, and Derek. I was about to act like the amazing hero I secretly was. Well, actually I just wanted to know what Scott had to say about Derek.
"How much have you talked to him when he drove you home?" Scott asked Allison.
"Uhh.. Not much at all?" Yupp, Scott was acting weird. And she felt uncomfortable.
"What did you say?" He asked. Oh my god, Scott was being a total creep. I couldn't stand it anymore.
"Heyy! Scott, you gonna play saturday?" I said to interrupt the conversation between those two.
"Well, uh, yeah. Coach wanted me to play."
I looked at him with confusion. He wasn't going to play, I hoped. "Okay, never mind, I'm going to borrow your girl. Meet me at my locker after school." I took allison away from scott. He didn't look happy as I walked away with her.
"You okay? Scott wasn't that nice to you."
"Yeah, I'm fine. He's acting weird though."
"I know. What was wrong?"
"Lydia is introducing me to all of the lacrosse team players. She is so nice to me!" She looked at me and continued. "Maybe she gets how much being the new girl can suck. Oh wait, you're new, too. However, Scott seems to be jealous or something, and then he was being weird, really weird, and then that jacket and Derek.. "
"Yeah, I guess that's uhh.. Maybe he had a bad sleep or something." I couldn't tell her about the werewolf stuff.
"Did you know that Derek isn't a friend of Scott's? He was serious, and I mean really serious when he told me that Derek wasn't a friend."
"Well, I didn't know if it was a friend. All I knew was that Scott knew him. I don't understand why Scott doesn't like him. Derek is a very nice guy. However, I gotta get to class."
"Yeah, me too. Thanks for saving me from Scott."
"No problem, bye!"
"Marly!" I turned around at the sound of someone calling my name. Scott was walking towards me.
"Marly, huh? Is that my new nickname?" I asked.
"Yeah, it's shorter than Marylin." He chuckled.
''Makes sense. Are you really playing tomorrow? I mean, you know what consequences there might be."
"Yeah, the coach wants me to play. Since Jackson has a separated shoulder." He said.
"Which can be blamed on you. Good luck bro. With the game, and with Derek."I chuckled. He was so screwed.
"Now that we're talking about Derek. I need to go to him. We need to have a uhh.. Talk."
"I'm coming with you."
"Uh no?" Scott looked at me like I was crazy.
"You can't tell me what to do. I'm coming with you. You're going to screw up anyway."
I grinned.
"Thanks for the optimism."
"you're welcome. Now, let's go." I dragged Scott with me towards the door.
Once we were at Derek's Scott started yelling. "DEREK!" He looked around, trying to catch sight of Derek.
"Scott, what the hell, you can just knock at the door." I said.
"DEREK!" He yelled again.
"Or you can just ignore me and yell.." I said.
He turned around to me. "Sorry Marly. But I'm kinda pissed off by Derek."
"Yeah, I noticed. Hey there we have your friend!"
Immediately Scott turned towards Derek. "Stay away from them!" He shouted.
"Stay away from who?" I asked.
"Allison and you. He should leave you guys alone." He said angrily.
"Well, I like Derek, I come here by myself, because I want to. Don't tell me what to do." I gave him an indignant look.
"Well, Allison doesn't know anything!" he said pretty loud.
"Yeah? And what if she does?" Derek replied. "You think your little buddy Stiles can just google werewolves and now you got all the answers, is that it?"
"Oh come on, guys, let's be honest. As far as I know he only spoke to her once. I was there and he just drove her home, nothing happened." I looked at the two guys. "Derek only wants to help, Scott. Derek, Scott just wants to protect Allison. You guys need to grow up." I sighed.
"However, you don't get it yet Scott. But I'm looking out for you. Think about what could happen." Derek just ignored me.
"Well, fuck you too." I whispered.
"You're out on the field, the aggression takes over and you shift in front of everyone. Your mom, all your friends, and when they see you? Everything falls apart."
"Enough, stop it! You are like 2 little children!" I shouted. Fuck them.
Derek and Scott looked at me. "Scott, let's go. I told you, you would screw up. And you did."
"Yeah, I need to go to Stiles anyway." Scott replied.
"Derek, I'll see you around." I said with a smile.
I walked away while dragging Scott with me. No more time would be spilled with some pointless conversation.
Jackson was going to the hospital to get checked on his arm. He went there with Lydia so I couldn't see him until she was gone. Luckily she was going to Allison so Jackson could come to me. He called me when Lydia left and directly came to me. I was sitting in my room until the bell rang.
I ran towards the door and opened it.
"Hey Marylin!" Jackson said.
"Hey, come in!" I stepped aside and walked back to the stairs. "My room is upstairs, you can leave your jacket over here." I pointed at the peg.
"I'm upstairs okay?" I said while walking up the stairs. I sat down on my bed and waited for Jackson to come.
"Marilyn?" Jackson said.
"Yeah? I'm over here."
Jackson came into my room as he heard my voice. He sat down next to me. "It's good to see you again. I haven't seen you all day!"
I chuckled. "It was only a day!" My hand found Jackson's. "We have right now, but first, I want to know how you are."
"I'm good, thanks for asking." He smiled at me.
"You know that I mean something else. How is your arm? Are you able to play tomorrow?"
"Yeah, I can play. The doctor says that everything will be fine. Oh and your ehm friends were in the hospital, too."
"Scott and Stiles?" I asked.
"Yeah those two. I don't know how you can be friends with them, they're weird."
"Yeah, they're weird, I know. They're nice though. But what were they doing in the hospital?" I was confused.
"I don't know. However, I'm here for you. Not to talk about your friends."
He held my hand and his face moved towards mine. Our eyes locked as he smiled. On the moment that he was going to kiss me he pulled back, teasing me. I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer. I kissed him softly. For a second I stopped and looked at him. He was so perfect, like he couldn't even real. But he was. And he was here, in my room. The best thing was, on this very moment he was mine.
