Shout out to Bre for reviewing! :D Malia wastes no time in getting some revenge :(

Cora's p.o.v

I find Scott waiting for me at my locker the next day at school. He kisses me and smiles brighty. I raise an eyebrow.

"Why are you so happy?" I ask him.

"You're here" he says. I chuckle. "What? Don't act like you don't like the sappy stuff" Scott grins.

"A little" I smile, showing him the smallest space between my thumb and fore-finger. Scott chuckles. He trails off, eyes moving past me. I don't have to turn around to know what he's looking at. I see Malia walk past us, blatently snobbing us arrogantly.

"What was that about?" Scott asks, looking back at me once she's out of sight.

"Nothing, just ignore her" I brush it off.

"You sure?" Scott asks.

"I'm sure" I nod. The class bell rings. "I'll see you in Biology" I say to him. He nods. We kiss and part ways, going for our seperate class before Biology.

..

Buzz, buzz. Buzz, buzz.

I pull my phone out, checking the new message from Scott.

'Meet me in the hallway in 5 minutes? I need to talk to you'

I text back a quick reply, telling him I will. I wait. I start to worry. He was really sunshiny-bright this morning and now he needs to talk? Why didn't he just talk to me earlier? I wonder what..oh. This isn't one of those untimely break-ups, right? No..no, it can't be. We're happy, really happy. I've never felt this nervous before. What the hell is this gross feeling in my stomach? Okay..I need to see Scott now. I raise my hand, signalling to my teacher that I need to use the restroom. I get up with my bag, walking into the hallway. I don't see Scott.

"Scott?" I call out, walking down the corridor. I know he said 5 minutes but i've got this really bad feeling and I don't know why. I don't know if I want to know why. "Sco.." I trail off, my stomach dropping at the image in front of me. "This is what you wanted to talk about?" I ask Scott. His and Malia's lips seperate upon hearing my voice. I sigh sadly, turning away from the pair. I make quick work of getting the hell out of there, my wolf's clawing at me to go after Malia. But the ache I feel in my chest from seeing my boyfriend, someone I really believe I may be falling for, kissing someone else..that's worse. And I can't stick around.

"No, Cora! Wait!" Scott yells after me. I ignore him, not able to face the male. The second i'm out of the school, I take off into the words, letting myself shift. Did he send me that text just so i'd see them kissing? What the hell? What..what?

Derek's p.o.v

"Mr Hale, are you aware that Cora is missing from class yet again?" a woman asks me, clearly not at all happy that she has to have this conversation with me again. I pinch the bridge of my nose. Jesus Cora. I thought she understood she was wrong to do that last time.

"I-" I go to say something but the loft door opens. I look up, seeing the very girl in question. Except she's in tears. "Cora-" I try to grab her arm as she passes me but she pulls away, taking off up to her room. What the hell happened?

"Mr Hale? Mr Hale?" the woman on the phone says impatiently. I watch after my sister with furrowed eyebrows.

"Uh..yes" I answer her. "I'm sorry, I picked Cora up for personal family business and forgot to sign the book" I lie.

"Very well, next time-" I don't even wait for her to finish, I, rudely, hang up. I'm too worried about what just happened to care about her lecture. I go to the stairs, taking them two at a time to get up to Cora's room.

"Cora?" I call out, knocking on the door. I try to open it and of course, it's locked. "Cora, open the door"

"G-go away" she says, her tears clear in her voice.

"Open the door" I say, more of an order. I need to know she's okay. I need to know what happened. And I need to know who i'm going to go pay a visit too. "Cora, last chance" I tell her. I give her a minute, giving her the chance to open the door. But she makes no move to do it. Screw it. I'm going in. It takes a little werewolf force to get the door open.

"Derek?!" she yells at me. I go over to her.

"What happened?" I ask, ignoring her scowling.

"Get out" she says, glaring down into her lap.

"Cora. What happened?" I ask again.

"You don't have to pretend you care, okay?!" she yells, a burst of anger coming from her. "You don't have to pretend to be happy when really, you're not! You don't have to lie! I'm not a child, I can handle myself!" Cora growls, her eyes turning yellow.

What the hell are you talking about?" I ask her, staying completely calm as not to provoke the distressed she-wolf. "Of course I care" I say. She can't be talking about me, right? She knows I care, and she knows i'm glad she's come home. If not me, then who?

"Just go" she says.

"Cora, I don't-"

"Get out!" she roars at me.

"No! Okay, i've had enough of this!" I yell back at her. She looks suprised that I yelled back at her giving her current state. "You go out for an hour and come back covered with someone else's blood! You go to school for 20 minutes and you come back in tears! So cut the crap and just tell me what the hell happened!" I yell loudly. I've given Cora the privacy and space someone her age should have. I've given her and Scott the privacy they should have even though I haven't always been that willing. I've stayed out of her business when I know it really is none of my business. But what happened the other day with Malia, and now this? That's enough. I want to know what's going on and if yelling at her is the only way i'm going to get the truth then..so be it. "I've been respectful of you, and Scott and your friends, now you need to give me some answers" I say.

"I'm not talking to you about this" she says.

"Then who? Who do I call?" I ask her. "Because if it's really that private or whatever that you can't talk to me about it then who? Lydia? Melissa?"

"Noone" she says. "I don't want to talk to anyone"

"What about Scott? Will you talk to him?" I ask her. She tries to cover it up but I hear the growl that passes her lips. I narrow my eyes at her. "What did Scott do to you?" I ask, realising.

"Nothing" she grounds out.

"I don't believe you. Tell me or i'm going to go down to the school and ask that little bastard myself-"

"No, don't do that" she says.

"So he has done something then?" I ask, catching her out.

"Derek, just stay out of it-" she tries.

"How am I supposed to stay out of it when you come home crying-" I ask, my voice getting louder again.

"Because it's none of your business!" she snaps.

"You're wrong. It's my business when you-"

"Just drop it!"

"I'm not dropping it!" I yell back

"Yes, you are-"

"I'm not-"

"You better-" we continue to cut each other off, yelling.

"Cora, just-"

"I caught Scott and Malia kissing, alright?! Are you happy now?!" she yells. I let those words sink in. Scott and Malia? What? No..

"Cora..are you sure-" I start, calming my voice.

"I know what I saw" she cuts me off. "And they know I saw them. Which means i've been fucked over by someone I really cared about and thought I could trust. So that's why I came home crying. Now, you have your answer so piss off" she says angerily, fresh tears in her eyes. I can tell by, not only the tears, but the fact that she just swore and cussed me out that this is not an easy thing for her to handle. Especially not alone.

"Cora..i'm sorry" I say. I feel a rage inside of me, directed towards both Scott and Malia, but making sure Cora's okay is more important than getting arrested for going down to the school and wolfing out on both teens.

"You have nothing to apologise for. Just go" she says, the saddness reaching her voice.

"I can't do that" I say, looking at her. I sit down on her bed.

"Derek, please..just leave me alone" she says, looking up with tears threatening to fall. I shake my head, moving to sit beside her. I know she's trying to hold strong and not break down in tears. I bring a hand to her back, rubbing it. She looks into her lap, starting to cry. I will admit, hearing her cry has my own eyes turning glassy. I pull the girl to lean againist me so I can hug her and try to comfort her. She cries properly, no more words said between us. I want to believe Cora's got the wrong end of the story but judging by her reaction..she saw them together. And it broke her heart. And that's not okay.
