I Was Only Talking About Bowling – Chapter 11

~A Teen Wolf fan-fiction collaboration between Miss E Charlotte and Sage Londyn~

Avery smiled as she looked at her phone and had a text from Derek, she quickly read and replied to the text and put all of her things in her locker.

Tucking her phone back into her jacket pocket she headed off to find Teagan.

She smiled as she saw Teagan and Jackson standing by her friends locker, tangled up in each others arms.

A part of her felt bad that Jackson had dumped Lydia, but mostly she was happy for Teagan and Jackson. She knew they truly loved each other and they were both the happiest they'd been in a long time.

She cleared her throat and waited for them to respond, but they were so absorbed in each other they didn't hear her.

Taking out her phone she snapped a picture of them and then texted it to the both of them at the same time.

They broke their kiss when their phones beeped in unison.

Avery watched with a smirk as they checked their messages.

Teagan gasped and Jackson said, "What the hell?"

"Lunch time!" Avery announced smiling widely at them.

"A!" Teagan said as she looked back down to her phone.

"So if you two are done feeding from each other's mouths… can we go to the lunchroom please?" Avery said, her voice still loud.

Jackson let out a laugh and shook his head as Teagan stared at her friend with wide eyes.

"What?" Avery asked, playing innocent.

"You're deleting that picture." Teagan said.

"I think it's a good picture…" Jackson said as he leaned down and kissed her again.

A few minutes later the group of 3 made their way through the lunch line and scanned the cafeteria.

They saw Allison sitting with Scott and Stiles.

Teagan started for the table and Jackson and Avery followed her.

"Hey guys." Teagan greeted as she sat down.

"Hey…" Stiles mumbled before he looked up and saw Avery.

"Hey Avery." He said as she sat down in the empty seat beside him.

She ignored him as she scanned the lunchroom for Lydia and saw her sitting at a table with several of the lacrosse players.

Jackson shot Scott an angry look, he was still convinced that Scott was taking steroids.

"Isn't it horrible what happened to that bus driver?" Allison said as she took a bite of her food.

Everyone nodded. One of the school's bus drivers had been murdered earlier that day.

The table stayed silent for a few minutes before Teagan said, "I'm excited for tonight! I love bowling."

"Are you going?" Stiles asked Avery.

"No." She responded as she took a bite of her apple.

"You should." Allison urged.

"I'm not coming because you guys are all discriminating against the guy I'd bring with me." Avery said.

Stiles shook his head and looked away from her, not sure what she saw in Derek.

"He was arrested for murder." Allison said, giving her a sympathetic look.

"The charges were dropped, it was an animal attack. They found hair on the body… wolf fur actually. Weird isn't it?" She asked, looking at Scott.

His eyes widened as he stared back at her.

"It's not a good idea to even be spending time with him." Teagan said.

"Or subject us to it." Jackson agreed.

"Scott, did you know that there supposedly hasn't been wolves in California for like 60 years. Really makes you wonder what kind of wolf it was that killed her, doesn't it?" she asked, smirking at him.

"What?" Allison said with a small laugh as she looked over at Scott.

He stared back at Avery who raised her eyebrows expectantly.

"You know, if she's going to spend time with Derek it should be around other people. I think you should bring him." Scott said, afraid she might say something about werewolves.

Everyone stared at him wide eyed.

"She can't bring him." Teagan said looking at Scott.

"I don't' think it's such a bad idea." Scott argued, still not wanting Avery to talk anymore about wolves.

"Wow, you are some kind of freak McCall. You really want to spend the night bowling with a murderer?" Jackson said looking at him.

Not liking seeing people ganging up on Scott, Allison said "The charges were dropped, and I don't know… maybe he's not as bad as we all think."

"this is not happening." Teagan exclaimed looking at her.

"I think if you want to bring him, go head. I agree with Scott." Allison said.

"Unbelievable." Jackson said as he shook his head and looked at Teagan.

"What do you think Stiles?" Teagan asked, trying to get more people on her side.

"I'm not going so it doesn't matter what I think." He said, as he looked down to his lunch tray.

"So it's two against two and I'm the tie-breaking vote… so if I want to bring Derek I can. You are outnumbered." Avery said looking between Jackson and Teagan.

Jackson looked over and saw Teagan's hands were a little shaky.

Reaching over he took her hand in his and gave her a reassuring smile.

"You two are adorable." Avery said smiling at them.

~(After school)~

"Thanks for meeting me." Avery said smiling at Derek as she walked in her room.

He nodded and returned the smile, wondering what she had wanted him to come over for.

"There's this thing I'm going to tonight and I'd have a lot more fun if you came with me." She said.

"What kind of thing?" He asked, watching her closely.

"Bowling." She said.

"You want me to go bowling with you?" Derek asked, with raised eyebrows.

"And some of my friends." She added in.

"Your friends who think I killed my own sister? I don't think so." Derek said.

"Please?" she pleaded as she crossed the room and kissed him.

"I'm not going. I don't even like bowling." He stated, as he frowned at her disappointed expression.

He didn't like making her unhappy, but he did not want to spend the night bowling with a group of high schoolers who hated him.

"But it won't be all bad, I'll be there." She said.

"No." He said again.

"I want to go do something tonight though." She said frowning.

"So we can find something else to do." He offered, trying to cheer her up.

Avery looked around her room at her slate gray walls with various pictures and art work decorations.

"But nothing sounds as fun as bowling." Avery argued, wishing he'd just agree to go with her.

He laughed "I'm sure we can think of a hundred things that are more fun than bowling, Avery."

Stepping out of his arms she crossed her room and faced him with her arms folded across her chest.

"Like what? Have sex?" She asked, her eyebrows raised.

"What?" Derek asked, thrown off by her statement.

"Because I'm not going to have sex with you tonight." She said.

"Yeah, that definitely would have been at the top of my list for fun things, but I wasn't talking about that." He said, not sure what had given her that idea.

"Because if you're only here talking to me because you want in my pants, you can just get out." She said, her voice raised as she started to think maybe what Lydia had said about him was right.

"Why are you saying this?" He asked her, growing more confused it was only seconds ago that they had been talking about bowling.

"Look, I don't know what you've heard about me. But it's not true." She continued to say.

He took a few steps towards her, "I didn't even know who the hell you were until that day at the gas station when you came up to me."

"And just because I'm not afraid to go after what I want, doesn't mean that I'm a slut." She yelled.

His eyes widened, "I never thought that you were. What happened? You were fine 5 minutes ago."

She stayed quiet as tears burnt at her eyes.

He could tell she was on the verge of tears and started to walk up to her, but she backed away and angrily shook her head.

"I had a pretty messed up image of who I was for a long time, but I've grown up a lot and I'm not just some booty call. I deserve more than that, I deserve someone who is going to like me for me, and not just for the sex." She said, confidently.

"I do like you for who you are. Can you just tell me what the hell is going on?" He asked, even more confused than he was before and starting to get angry, and not understanding how they got there from talking about bowling.

She shook her head back and forth.

Sighing he said, "I'm not sure how you come to the conclusion that I'm using you for something that we haven't even done, from me saying I don't want to go bowling with people who hate me. But if it really means this much to you, then I'll go bowling."

Taking a deep breath she said, "No, I don't want you to come with me."

Grabbing her purse she opened her bedroom door.

"Avery wait…" He said as he started to follow her.

"Leave me alone." She said as she ran down the stairs and out to her car.

Teagan was standing in her walk in closet as she tried to decide what to wear that night. She had just got out of the shower and made it as far as putting on her underwear and bra before getting distracted by all of her clothing choices. She was deciding between two different shirts when she heard her window slide open followed by a thud on the floor.

With murderers getting released and running around town, for a moment she feared someone had broken into the house. She glanced around the closet looking for anything that could be used as a weapon, but unfortunately for her other than some spiky high heels she didn't have much to protect herself, but it was better than nothing.

With a high heel in hand she cautiously peeked out of the closet then sighed with relief when she saw it was Jackson. She couldn't help but smile when she saw him playing with Aspen. Sometimes it felt like no time had even passed between them; things were great with them, just like it used to be and she couldn't be happier.

"Jeez Jackson, I do have a front door you know?" Teagan joked, as she walked out of the closet.

"I know, old habit I guess." Jackson said back, as he kept his head down and continued to play with a happy Aspen.

"Well I thought you were a burglar or something. I was about to attack you with my high heel." Teagan said with a laugh, then joked as she looked at Aspen, "great guard dog you are."

Jackson laughed then looked up at her for the first time; he felt his mouth drop open when he saw her standing there half naked. Suddenly bowling was the last thing he wanted to do.

"Wow! Is that what you are wearing? Cause I for one, love it." Jackson joked, as he looked her up and down.

She shot him a confused look, forgetting for a moment what she was wearing or actually not wearing at the moment. She gasped then grabbed the towel she had used earlier on her hair from the bed and wrapped it around herself, causing him to groan.

"Aw, come on. It's not like I haven't seen it before." Jackson said with a laugh, as he stood up from the floor and walked over towards her.

"Shut up." Teagan said, laughing as she threw the high heel shoe at him, which he caught then added, "We just got back together. Don't you think it's a little too soon for that."

Jackson shook his head as he reached out to wrap an arm around her waist and pulled her toward him before saying, "It's never too soon for that."

Teagan giggled as he kissed her bare shoulder then kissed over to her neck. When he began to nibble on the spot that always turned her on, her head rolled to the side as she closed her eyes and moaned. Things were getting hot fast between the two until she heard her phone go off, letting her know she had a new text message.

"Ok, that's enough." Teagan said, as she pushed Jackson away. When he reached out to grab her again, she slapped his hand then said, "Now go sit down with Aspen and be a good boy."

Jackson rolled his eyes as he took a few steps back and sat down on the edge of her bed, never taking his eyes off of her as she walked over to her desk to pick up her phone. Before checking the message, she glanced over her shoulder and said with a wink, "If you're good you'll get a treat later."

Jackson smirked and said, "Tease."

Teagan laughed at his comment then looked down at her phone reading the text from Avery about Derek not going. She was disappointed for her friend but happy that he wasn't tagging along.

"Everything ok?" Jackson asked when he saw the look on her face.

"Yeah, it's just a text from Avery. Derek's not coming." Teagan answered.

"Well that's good right?" Jackson asked, confused about her reaction.

"Yeah..."

"But?" Jackson added.

"I just feel bad for Avery, she really likes the guy and maybe we're judging him too harshly." Teagan said, feeling conflicted.

"The guy's a creep and I've seen the look on your face whenever his name is mentioned. He scared the shit out of you and I'm not letting him anywhere near you so it's a good thing that he's not coming tonight or I just might have to kick his ass." Jackson said, as he stood up to stand in front of her.

"But Avery..."

"Will get over him." Jackson said, interrupting her. Then added, "You know how she is. He'll screw her brains out then she'll move on to the next. In a week or so I bet she won't even remember the guy's name."

Teagan shot him a look, not liking what he said about her best friend. She took a step back from him then said, "She's not like that, Jackson. Besides it is different with Derek, I can see it in her eyes."

"Ok so do we hate the guy or not?" Jackson asked feeling annoyed.

"I don't know, ok?" Teagan said with a sigh as she ran a hand through her hair.

Jackson took a deep breath to control his anger, this was not the way he wanted the night to go. He did not want to be arguing with her over something as stupid as one of Avery's flings.

He took a step toward her and rested his hands on her hips as he said, "Hey let's just drop it ok. The guy's not even going to be there so it doesn't matter. Let's just go and have some fun ok?"

Teagan nodded her head, agreeing with him. He was right, they just needed to go out and have fun with their friends and just put Derek out of their minds.

Jackson smiled at her as he lifted up one of his hands and unwrapped the towel she was wearing then added, "Or we can stay in and have fun."

Teagan laughed as she pulled the towel from his hand and wrapped it again before saying, "No, we are going."

"At least give me a peek." Jackson said softly, as he leaned forward and pressed his lips against hers.

After a passionate kiss, she pulled back with a giggle as she grabbed the towel and pulled it open giving him a look. He bit his bottom lip as he let his eyes travel from her chest all the way down to her toes. She was flawless and she was all his.

He reached out to touch her until she slapped his hand away again like she did earlier then said, "Nu-huh, that's enough. Play time is over."

Jackson groaned as he fell back on to her bed, she was killing him. All of her teasing was seriously going to kill him, but he honestly wouldn't have her any other way. She was his and he was happy and that was all that mattered.

Parking her car outside of Stiles' house Avery walked up to the door and knocked on it.

His dad answered the door.

"Is Stiles here?" she asked with a friendly smile.

He stared at her blankly for a few moments, wondering if this was the same blonde girl that Stiles kept talking about.

"My name is Avery I'm an… acquaintance of his from school." She said, deciding the word friend didn't exactly fit them.

"It's really great to meet you, Avery. Stiles talks about you all the time." The Sherriff said as he shook her hand.

"Oh." Avery said nodding with raised eyebrows.

"I mean he is really going to be thrilled you're here." He said still smiling and shaking her hand.

"That's great… but I think you can stop shaking my hand now." She said as she tried to pull her hand from his.

He looked down and laughed, "Right, I'm sorry. I'm just surprised to see you."

"I could tell." She said with a laugh at how his dad reminded her a little of the way Stiles acts.

"He's in his room." The Sherriff said as she let her inside.

Avery looked around the living room.

"Are you going to show me to his room, or am I supposed to play a game of musical doors till I find him?" she asked.

"Yeah, his room is this way." He said as he led her down to his son's room.

"Stiles said you were outspoken." The Sherriff said with a small laugh.

She smiled and looked at the closed bedroom door.

After giving her another smile, Stiles' dad headed back down the hallway.

Avery raised her hand and knocked on the door.

She didn't hear a response.

"Stiles?" She asked as she knocked again.

Still no answer.

Avery opened the door and saw he was sitting at his desk, on his computer with ear buds in.

She watched him for a few seconds, and saw he was moving around in his chair and not taking his eyes off of the computer.

"Are you watching porn?" she asked with raised eyebrows and an amused look on her face.

Walking behind him she let out a sigh, "Of course not. You are playing a video game… great."

Then it struck her that he had no idea she was in the room with him.

Letting out a small laugh she sat down on the end of his bed and took her phone out to text Teagan and let her know that she had gotten her wish and Derek wasn't going along on the triple date.

She looked back up to see Stiles' still playing the game on the computer, oblivious to anything else.

Avery started texting random people to kill some time before she was supposed to meet everyone at the bowling alley.

It was about 10 minutes later that she heard footsteps and looked up to see Sherriff Stilinski standing in the doorway.

"Stiles!" He yelled.

Stiles couldn't hear them over the loud music and game sound effects blaring through the small speakers in the ear buds.

"Stiles!" He yelled louder.

"My god how loud does he have those things?" He asked looking over to Avery.

She shrugged and looked back down to her phone to reply to a text.

Seeing that yelling wasn't doing any good, he flipped the light switch a few times.

"What?" Stiles asked as he paused the game and took his ear buds out.

"I've been yelling for you." The Sherriff said.

"I was almost at level 50." Stiles said rubbing his eyes.

"Son, is your game really more important than her?" he asked.

"What?" stiles asked confused.

His nodded to where Avery was sitting.

Stiles turned his head, "Avery! Oh my god… hey… hi!" He exclaimed as he jumped up out of his computer chair knocking it over.

"Hello." She responded looking down to the chair on the floor.

"Wh… what are you doing here?" Stiles asked, trying to suavely lean against his desk but he bumped it and knocked over a blue cup full of pens and pencils.

Stiles' dad sighed and shook his head as he turned and left the room.

"Apparently making you nervous?" she said with a smirk as she crossed the room and picked the chair up.

"How long have you been in here?" He asked, still in disbelief that Avery Dukate was standing in his room.

"I think since about level 45." She said nodding to the computer.

"Oh…" He said with a nervous laugh as he ran his hand over his hair.

"Are you ready?" she asked tucking her phone in her leather jacket.

"For…" He asked.

"Bowling." She responded.

"What happened to Derek?" He asked.

"Are you going to question me about Derek Hale or are you going to come with me to bowl as… acquaintances?" She questioned.

"You mean go as friends?" He said.

"If it strokes your ego to think of us as friends then fine; because I'm certainly not going to stroke anything else." She said.

His body tensed and his eyes widened.

She watched him and noticed he'd stopped breathing.

"You're going to pass out from lack of oxygen." She said with a small laugh.

"I… I never expected you to stroke… anything. I mean we're not dating, barely even friends so I'd never think that." He managed to stutter out.

"It was a joke. Calm down, virgin." She said with a flirty smile, and a playful wink.

His eyes widened even more.

"Now come on, let's go. I do not show up to social events alone" She said as she turned and walked away.

It took him a few moments to process everything before he quickly raced out of his room after her.

"This is your car?" He asked staring at her 65 Mustang.

She nodded proudly as she opened the driver's side door.

He looked back up to his house where his dad was standing in the open doorway watching them before he got in the car and she backed out of his driveway.
