A/N Continuing from last chapter...

"So how did the other's get here?" Stiles asked. They were still on their way to school.

"Well Isaac is straight but he has problems with his parents. His parents use to fight everyday and put him in the middle. He got tired of it and moved our. Scott on the other hand has a pretty normal life. He lives with his mom but spends most of his time over here so we just gave him his own room. Danny's old man use to beat on him. It got so bad that he ended up in the hospital. After that he moved in with us and I don't know much about Jackson. All he tells us is that he had problems with his foster father and moved out but everyone knows that something else happened."

"And what about you?" Stiles asked.

"My back story is pretty simple." Derek said. "I came out to my dad and that very night he kicked me out. I'm so glad that I had my Uncle there because I didn't have anywhere else to go." He glanced over to Stiles and saw him playing with his fingers. "What about you?"

"My mom died when I was younger so it's just been me and my dad." Stiles said. "After she died he changed. He shut himself off and started ignoring me. He started drinking and blaming me for my mom's death. Then I made the mistake of telling him that I was having urges to be with guys. He beat the living crap out of me. That's why I started skipping school and a while after that he just kicked me out. I was on the streets for two day's before I met your Uncle, he's pretty cool."

Derek smiled. "Yeah he is." He pulled into the school parking lot. "So you can just meet me here after school." He said turning off the car and getting out.

Stiles followed him. "Okay." He walked with Derek inside before they went their separate ways. He was at his locker when he heard someone yelling his name. He looked down the hall to see Allison.

"Where the hell have you been?" Allison asked coming up to him. "I've been calling you for days now." She then noticed the bruise on his face. "What happened to your face?"

"Nothing I've just had a rough few days." Stiles said. "Sorry for not getting back to you."

"Does this have something to do with Derek?" Allison asked. "I saw you getting out of his car. Are you two dating now or what?"

"No we're not but my dad kicked me out so I'm kind of living with him now." Stiles said.

"All they do is party in that house." Allison said. "Especially when Derek's uncle isn't home. Are you going to be okay?"

Stiles nodded. "I wasn't sure at first because Jackson lives there to but I'm okay now." He closed his locker. "I just hope he doesn't say anything to me."

"Come on." Allison said grabbing his hand. "Lydia has been annoying with you gone."

Stiles just smiled and followed her down the halls.

…...

Derek was walking down the hall when he spotted Jackson and he went over to him. "Hey what do you have against Stiles?"

"Excuse me." Jackson said.

"You're always messing with him and I want to know why?" Derek asked. "Stiles has done nothing wrong to you and yet you treat him like crap."

Jackson smiled. "I treat everyone like crap."

"Not Danny." Derek said. "Look we're all friends here and we want to be there for you but god do you always have to be such a dick."

"You don't even know him Derek." Jackson said.

"Yeah and I'm starting to think that I don't know you either." Derek said.

Jackson glared at Derek before walking pass him and down the hall. "Thats right you don't know me." He turned back to Derek. "Only the people who want to know really knows about me and I guess that's not you." He turned and continued his walk to class.

Derek knew he was right. The only reason Jackson came to his Uncle was with the help of Danny. He knew that Jackson was the closet with Danny so if he had any chance of Jackson laying off Stiles he needed the help of Danny. He sighed and walked the opposite way to his first period class.

Danny was sitting alone in the lunchroom when Derek sat across from him. "Hey what's going on?"

"I need to talk to you about something." Derek said. "What the hell is Jackson's problem? Why does he feel like he has to put everyone else down just to make himself feel better."

Danny sighed. "You don't know what he's been through. He's only like this because-" He stopped talking. "He's not a bad guy Derek, he just doesn't know how to express his feelings. If I could tell you more I would but I promised Jackson I wouldn't tell anyone."

"Tell anyone what?" Derek asked. "What's Jackson hiding?"

Danny sighed and looked around the lunchroom. He saw Jackson sitting alone and stood up. "I'll talk to Jackson about lying off of Stiles." He walked to where Jackson was sitting and sat next to him. "Hey?"

Jackson smiled. "Hey you."

"You seem like somethings on your mind." Danny said. "Is there anything you want to talk about?"

Jackson sighed. "Not but if I do you'll be the first to know."

"So can you do something for me?" Danny asked and Jackson nodded. "Can you lay off Stiles. He's pretty cool and he hasn't done anything to you. He's going through a right time just like the rest of us. We all need to be there for each other and I need you to be there with me. Do you think you can?"

Jackson sighed and looked down. "Danny?"

"Opening up to other's isn't going to make you any less of a man." Danny said. "You're letting your father's words get into your head again. You're not what he says Jackson and the sooner you believe that the better off you'll be."

"Fine." Jackson said. "For you I'll try."

"That's all I ask." Danny said. "And maybe you should talk to Peter about what happened with your dad. He helped me through a lot after I left the hospital and if you go to him he'll help you too. You just have to give him a chance to try."

Jackson shook his head. "No you promised me that you wouldn't say anything. When I'm ready I promise that I will tell him everything but for now can you do this for me?"

"Okay." Danny nodded.

…...

After school

Jackson and the other entered the house. Derek's car was already there so they assumed that Stiles and Derek were already home. He grabbed a soda and went up to his room. Sitting at his computer he opened his soda.

"I thought you weren't suppose to drink at the computer." Danny said coming into his room and lying on his bed.

"Yeah well what they don't know won't hurt them." Jackson said turning to him.

"So did you talk to Stiles yet?" Danny asked.

"No and I don't plan on doing it." Jackson said.

"Why not?" Danny asked.

"I'm not going to change who I am." Jackson said. "If they don't like me and make me out as the bad guy then so be it. Just let me be the bad guy."

"So all that stuff in the lunchroom was all crap." Danny sighed and go off the bed. "Fine if you want to be a jerk for the rest of your life then I'm not going to be apart of it." He headed out of the room.

"Danny?" Jackson said getting up and grabbing his arm. "Hold on a minute."

"No I'm tired of this Jackson." Danny said. "I'm done." he turned and left the room.

…...

Danny walked down the hall to Stiles room and knocked on it. When Stiles opened the door he smiled. "Hey I know we don't really talk but I just wanted to make sure that you were okay."

Stiles let him in and closed the door behind him. "I am but can I ask you p personal question?" Danny nodded. "Derek told me that you and Jackson were the closet here and I was wondering if you were dating?"

Danny sighed and walked over to the window. "I wouldn't say that, I mean we're close and even fool around a little but I wouldn't say we were dating."

"But you like him right?" Stiles asked.

Danny looked down. "I love Jackson but he's too afraid to admit that he loves me too. I know he can be a little serious sometimes but he has his reason's and I've been dealing with those for a while now and I'm getting tired of it." He smiled and turned to Stiles. "I can tell that you like Derek though."

Stiles shrugged. "He's okay."

"Come on I see the way you look at him." Danny said. "You like him don't you?"

"Maybe." Stiles said.

"I think he likes you too." Danny headed over to the door. "But you didn't hear that from me, I'll see you tomorrow."

…...

instead of going to his room he went down to the kitchen and started to fix himself something to eat. He stopped when Derek walked in.

"Hey how did it go with Jackson?" Derek asked.

Danny sighed. "He said he's not going to change, not even for me but at this point I'm over it."

"What do you mean over it?" Derek asked.

"I'm done trying to help him." Danny said. "He's never going to change, no matter how much I want him too." He walked off with his food.

Derek sighed and watched him go. He felt bad for Danny because he knew that he cared a lot for Jackson.
