At the end of school the next, I was at my locker getting ready to leave, when Jay came out of nowhere.
"Jasmine Stilinski!" Jay yelled behind me "Wouldst thou join me for a romantic evening of an Italian delicacy"
"Are you asking me on a date?" I asked him laughing.
"Yes. I'll pick you up at seven." He told me and turned to leave.
"I didn't say I would go," I yelled after him.
"Doesn't matter!" He yelled back.
I laughed at him before going to lacrosse practice to wait for Stiles. I was sitting on the bleachers working on homework when I heard Coach yelling at Scott.
"My - my grandmother can move faster than that. And she's dead. You think you can move faster than the - lifeless corpse of my dead grandmother?" Coach asked Scott.
"Yes, coach," Scott answered.
"I can't hear you." Coach told him.
"Yes, coach," Scott answered again but there was something different in his voice.
"Then do it again. McCall's gonna do it again!" Coach yelled "McCall's gonna do it again! Let's go!"
Scott was running toward Jackson, but instead of trying to score a goal Scott ran into Jackson sending him into the ground. Scott fell to the ground at the same time Jackson did.
"Scott? Scott, you okay?" Stiles asked Scott when we both ran up to Scott.
"I can't control it, Stiles." Scott told him, "It's happening."
"What? Right here? Now?" Stiles panicked "Come on, get up. Come on. Come on."
"What do we do?" I asked Stiles.
"Help me get him to the locker room," Stiles told me.
As we are dragging Scott to the locker room, I thought I saw Derek at the edge of the lacrosse field.
"Come on, here we go. There. That's it." Stiles said panicking "You okay? Scott, you okay?"
"Get away from me!" Scott yelled fully transformed into his werewolf form.
I ran out into the hallway while Scott went after Stiles. What am I supposed to do? I don't know what to do! I can't just leave my little brother in there with a werewolf! Just as I was about to run into try to save my brother, he sprayed Scott with the fire extinguisher.
"Stiles. What happened?" Scott asked confused.
"You tried to kill me." Stiles told me "It's like I told you before. It's the anger. It's your pulse rising. It's a trigger."
"But that's lacrosse. It's a pretty violent game if you hadn't noticed." Scott argued.
"Well, it's gonna be a lot more violent if you end up killing someone on the field. You can't play Saturday. You're gonna have to get out of the game." Stiles told him.
"I'm first line," Scott said looking completely crushed.
"Not anymore," Stiles told him.
Later that night, I was in my room getting ready for my date with Jay, when Stiles ran in.
"Dude!" I yelled at him. "Knock!"
"Sorry, Where are you going?" He asked.
"I have a date," I told him.
"Now?" He asked looking annoyed "You have a date now?"
"Yes," I told him. "Why?"
"I think Derek is at Scott's," He said.
"What does that have to do with me?" I ask him.
"I was going to ask you to come with me to check on him," He told me "Forget it, go on your date."
"Hey!" I called after him when he went to leave "Are you ok?"
"Yeah, I'm good," he said, "Apart from the fact that my best friend tried to kill me, and I have to figure out how to stop him from killing other people before Derek kills him."
"We'll figure it out, Stiles," I told him before pulling him into a hug. "You don't have to do this alone. I don't think Derek is going to kill anyone."
"Derek is definitely going to kill someone, Jas," He told me. "He has already killed someone"
"I'm not sure about that, Stiles," I told him "I don't think Derek is a bad guy."
"I do, Jas," He told me. "There is something off with that guy"
"He's been through a lot" I explained. " His family was literally burned alive. Then someone kills his sister and people are blaming him. How would you react if someone killed me and everyone thought it was you?"
"That's different, Jas" He argued, "I'm a sane person!"
"You might now be if you lost everyone like he has" I argued back.
"I'm going to go check on Scott," He said before leaving.
I didn't know why I thought Derek was a good guy. I think he wants to help Scott but doesn't know how to. I know what losing my mother did to me, I couldn't imagine losing my dad and Stiles too. But I don't have time to deal with this right now. I have to finish getting ready for my date.
I went to the bathroom to straighten my hair and finish my make-up. When I got back to my room, I nearly scream because there was someone on my bed.
"What the hell, Derek!" I whisper yelled at him.
" I wanted to see if you are okay." He told me.
"I was before you gave me a heart attack," I said sarcastically.
"You need to stay away for Scott," He told me ignoring my comment.
"That is not going to happen," I told him.
"He is dangerous, Jasmine." He insisted, "He is going to hurt you."
"Scott will not hurt me" I argued.
"You don't know that!" He snapped at me.
"Yes, I do!" I insisted.
"You shouldn't trust him," He told me. "He is not in control and unless you stay out of the way you will get hurt. You shouldn't trust me either."
"You won't hurt me either," I told him.
"I can easily kill you right now," he said threateningly.
"But you won't!" I told him.
"Jas! Jay is here!" My dad yelled from downstairs.
"I'll be down in a minute!" I yelled back.
"You should reconsider who you trust before you get hurt," Derek said before jumping out of my window. I don't have time for this crap! I just want to go on a date with my boyfriend and forget about the supernatural for a couple of hours.
"Sorry about that," I told Jay, " I'm ready now."
"You two have fun tonight. Be home before eleven, Jasmine" Dad reminded me.
"I will be," I said shortly just barely being able to resist rolling my eyes.
"You okay, Jas?" Jay asked me once we were in his car.
"Yeah, I'm fine," I told him.
"You don't seem like it," he said,
"Just stressed," I told him trying to brush it off, "This is exactly what I needed babe."
"What's going on?" Jay asked me.
"Just school." I lied.
"I'm sure you can handle it babe." he tells me.
"I'll be fine, Jay," I told him. I didn't like lying to him but he couldn't know about the supernatural so I didn't really have a choice.
We went to our favorite pizza place in town. It's where we had our first date and where we usually go for date night. We go there so often that they know our order and names. We had finished our dinner and were getting back into the car.
"It's only nine," Jay said once we were in the car, "Do you want to go to the lookout?"
"Definitely," I tell him. We usually go to the lookout after one of our dates to have some more private alone time.
We were laying on the hood of his car at the lookout. I really wished at that moment that I could tell Jay everything that had been going on. I wanted to be able to ask him if he thought I was crazy for trusting Derek. I didn't know why I did but I did. I know Scott won't hurt anyone because it's Scott. Scott doesn't hurt anyone, it's just not like him.
"You're being really quiet tonight," Jay said bringing me out of my thoughts.
"I'm fine, Jay," I told him.
"You're not acting like it," He replied, "I'm worried about you, Jas."
"Don't be" I told him before pulling him into a kiss trying to distract him.
"Are you trying to distract me?" He asked me while smiling knowing the answer.
"Is it working" I teased.
"Maybe," He answered before flipping us so that he was on top of me. I felt my heart rate pick up while our make out session began.
I honestly didn't have a single idea how long it had been. I loved moments with Jay like this. It's nice to forget about everything even if it's just for a little bit.
"I should get you home," Jay tells me.
"Yea, I guess so," I said with a sigh
"Are you sure you're okay?" He asks me again.
"I told you I'm fine!" I snapped at him.
"Fine! So sorry for worrying about you." he snapped back. "Get in the car."
"Jay," I said regretting snapping at him immediately.
"Just get in the car, Jas," He said, "You're late already."
"What! What time is it?" I examined.
"It's two," He told me.
"Oh my god!" I said freaking out. "My dad is going to kill me."
"Whatever, just get in the damn car Jas." He snapped at me.
The ride back to my house was silent. Painfully silent. The good news was I didn't have to worry about the supernatural stuff anymore because my dad is literally going to kill me.
The living room light was on when Jay pulled up to my house. Yep, I was dead.
"Jay-" I start to say but he cuts me off.
"Get out," He said turning away from me.
I didn't want to go inside. I didn't want to stay outside. I just wanted to skip to the part where I could go to bed.
"Do you understand the term curfew, Jasmine Claudia." My dad starts as soon as I open the door.
"Dad I-" I started to say.
"I have been waiting for you to get home for four hours!" he yelled. "What do you have to say for yourself, young lady."
"I didn't mean to be late Dad." I tried to explain.
"Four hours Jasmine." He said. " You are not stupid. You know how to read a clock, yes?"
"Yes but-" I started to say.
"No buts," he said. "You are so beyond grounded. Give me your phone."
"Dad please" I begged him.
"Now!" He yelled at me. I handed him it. " You are not going to be going out for a long time Jasmine. And when I say you can, you're new curfew is eight o'clock. From now on for every half an hour you are late, you will be grounded for a week."
"Dad, that's not fair!" I yelled at him.
"What's not fair is sitting here waiting for you to come home for four hours." He yelled back. "I thought something happened to you."
"Dad, I'm sorry," I tell him with tears in my eyes, but I don't let them fall.
"Go to bed, Jasmine." He tells me.
Before I make it up the stairs, my face in covered in tears. Today was complete shit. I felt like complete shit. All I wanted was to cry myself to sleep but of course, I can't even do that! Derek Hale was once again in my room.
"What the fuck Derek." I snapped at him while stilling crying. "You can't just keep waiting for me in my room"
"I thought I told you to stay out of the woods," He said but he looked shocked that I was
"What are you following me," I asked.
"I heard your heart rate pick up" He explained. " I thought you were in danger."
"Well I not, so can you go," I ask him. " I want to go to sleep so that I can forget that I am the world's worst girlfriend and daughter."
"You are not," He said while wiping tears off of my face. I didn't notice how close he was.
"Yes, I am" I whispered.
"Come on, lay down Jas" He pulling me to my bed before sitting down on it and laying my head on his chest. I didn't notice before how good Derek smelled. "Get some sleep."
Derek is gone when I wake up the next morning. I was starting to fall for Derek, but I loved Jay didn't I?
