Chapter Thirteen: Your Pack is Fine but Maybe It's Time
Isaac's P.O.V.
"You did WHAT?"
"You heard me the first three times Isaac,"
I was minding my own business preparing for tonight, when I got a weird phone call. From Mexico. Luckily I answered. It was just Argent. Telling me some ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS NEWS.
"My apologies for the repetition but pardon me for finding your story a bit…crazy,"
Argent sighed in my ear. I just can't believe that Kate and Peter were working together to kill Scott. Plus the whole thing with Derek losing his powers, the berserkers, and all the other crap, it made me concerned.
"Don't worry Isaac," he stated. "Everyone's okay. They're alive. They're home."
I let a breath I didn't know I was holding in. Alive. Home. That's a relief.
"What about you?"
"What about me?"
Sigh.
"Are you okay? Alive? Home?"
I know at LEAST one of those is going to be a no.
"I'm staying in Mexico with the Calaveras," he told me. "I'm helping them track down Kate."
A frown graced my face. Argent was getting too intense about his sister. I get the history but it's making me worried. Silence passed between us. I was starting to miss the burly blue eyed guy. Plus I feel like I'm intruding on his property. And I'm inviting all these people to move in (even though it was fine with Argent). Just wish he would come back soon. Anyone with a functioning brain cell could hear the fatigue in his voice. Seriously, when's the last time he's had a decent night sleep?
"So do you really think it's a good idea to work with them?" I questioned. "You've told me stories."
Argent chuckled lightly. Um. This isn't a laughing matter. The Calaveras kill. Kill humans. Like with guns. And other stuff.
"Don't worry about me. I'm going to be fine. You worry about you and your new friends. How is Jackson and Nicola doing? Artie keeping you all in line?"
I appreciate his attempt to deflect. Giving in to his ploy, I told him about their fight and my plans for tonight. He advised (fatherly warned) that we all be safe tonight. I gave him my word and a few exchanges later, he had to go.
"Do try and to take care of yourself Argent," I told him. "I don't want to see you again and you're a pile of bones and flappy skin."
Argent's laugh was genuine. It made me smile. Don't even want to think about the last time it's probably happened.
"I'll keep that in mind Isaac," he responded. "You do the same. Oh and one more thing. Talk to Scott."
We said good bye and we hung up. Sinking down deeper into couch, I glanced down at my phone. The one thing he told me to do kept playing in my mind. Before the nerve was gone, my fingers scrolled down my contacts until they stopped at the number I wanted. A push of Call and three rings later, the phone clicked.
"Hello?"
My throat closed up. Oh dear God. And the nerve is going. I swallowed the hard lump and figured out what to say.
"Hey Scott,"
Silence. That's all for a few minutes. Uh…did he hang up? Because I can totally understand.
"Scott?"
"Isaac,"
I don't want this to turn into a chick flick sorta thing but the way he said my name made my heart flutter. It was pretty freaking sweet. Even if it was slightly sleepy.
"It's good to hear from you," Scott said. "Been wondering if I'd ever hear from you."
Well I feel like utter shit.
"Sorry about that," I apologized. "I've been having some issues I needed to take care of. It's all good now."
"Really? That's great. Glad to hear it. Argent told me some of the things you were up to," Scott responded. "Like a girlfriend?"
I resisted the urge to giggle and gossip. But a wide grin did spread across my face.
"Yeah. Her name's Sabine. She's pretty awesome,"
Scott laughed.
"You sound completely smitten. Glad to know everything worked out,"
Not everything.
"Argent told me about everything that happened."
His breath caught.
"I know everything. I'm really sorry Scott."
Scott was quiet as mouse.
"What are you sorry for?"
What was I sorry for? Is he kidding me right now? Tears of frustration pricked in my eyes.
"For everything," I told him, voice cracking slightly. "For not being there for you guys. For not coming back when I had the chance. For running away. For being too scared to even talk to you."
A tear ran down my face. I feel absolutely horrible about not going back to Beacon Hills. But the worst part is that if I had the chance to do this all over I wouldn't. I do like it here. Sabine is here. Nicola is here. Even Jackson is here. But my pack is in Beacon Hills. My heart's being ripped in two. And there's nothing I can do to fix it.
"Isaac, listen to me very carefully,"
I made an attempt to control my breathing. Finally it calmed down a bit.
"I'm listening,"
"Don't feel sorry," he commanded, in his Alpha voice. "I don't blame you for anything. Nobody blames you for anything. I understand why you didn't come. I wouldn't have wanted you to come. So it's okay. You have a new life. There's nothing wrong with that. You deserve it. You've been suffering for a lot longer than any of us. It's about time you sat back and enjoyed your life. You've got a girlfriend and friends to appreciate."
I scoffed sarcastically. He seriously couldn't believe the words coming out of his mouth.
"You're not serious."
"Yes. I am. I mean every word I say. Trust me Isaac. If I had a problem with it, I'd tell you. I can't afford beating around the bush with people anymore."
No. Scott chuckled.
"Now if this was a few months ago when you first left, this conversation would go a lot different," he explained, with a tinge of mirth. "I won't even lie to you. I was upset that you left. I felt like I was losing another person I loved. It wasn't just Allison that was gone. It was you too. One by one you were leaving me."
Tears were actually falling. So it did bother him. When we were at the airport, it didn't seemed like me leaving affected him at all. In fact, it seemed like he was relieved to rid of me. Guess I was wrong.
"But now that this whole benefactor and dead pool thing is all over, I understand why you did it. A person can only take so much pain, suffering, and unhappiness before it consumes them. I know you had good times here but let's be honest. Did it really outweigh the bad that happened?"
Not at all. But I didn't want to say that to him.
"I'll take your silence as an agreement," he stated. "So yeah. Just know that I'm okay with you staying in France. Which also means I don't want you to come back here."
Wait what?
"Scott? I don't understand what you mean,"
"I meant what I said. Don't come back to Beacon Hills. Stay in France. Enjoy your life Isaac. Enjoy Sabine for as long as possible. That's my first and last order as your Alpha. I'm letting you go,"
Tears flowed harder as I felt this rubber band in my chest go tight then snap. That was it. I'm free. And it felt kinda good. Different, but good.
"This doesn't that you don't call and check in every once in a while. I do have a Skype too. Just an FYI. Snapchat's are great as well."
I wiped my tears and let out a watery laugh. Oh freaking Scott.
"Yeah. I think I manage that,"
"Good. Because I want to know more about this Sabine. From your Facebook, she's smoking hot."
I gaped. What?
"You've been stalking my Facebook?!"
Scott laughed loudly in my ear.
"In my defense it was the only way I could check up on you! You kept ignoring my calls! I was concerned!" he responded. "Oh God. I sound like my mom. Now I understand what she means."
He groaned and muttered how he was 'soccer momming' to me and some kid named Liam.
"Scott! Are you still in bed? Get up! You still have school!"
Scott let out a breath.
"Well it is time for me to go," he told me. "Although I could do without school. But remember what I said. Talk to you later Isaac."
"Okay. Tell your mom I said hi,"
"Hi Isaac! Have a good day Sweetie!"
"You too Melissa," I responded.
"Alright Isaac," Scott said. "I love you man."
I smiled softly.
"I love you too Scott,"
I could hear the grin on his face as he ended the call. My shoulders sank in relief. Scott was and will always be the greatest person on the Earth. Seriously.
Chapter End.
