    Kira's voice came from the end of the alley. She stared wide-eyed at me, taking in the mess surrounding me; the overturned trashcans, the trash in the streets, the burst windshields of the nearby cars.Â
    "We need to get you out of here," she said, the look of shock fading from her gaze. "Now."
    Say what you would about Kira, but she was calm under pressure. While I stood, shocked, taking in the wrecked scene around me, Kira launched into action. She grabbed a blanket from her nearby car, and wrapped me up in it, covering up my tattered clothes. She then shepherded me into her car, glancing furtively around to make sure no one saw us leaving the alley. It was only when she buckled me into the passenger seat of her Honda that I found myself able to speak.Â
    "How did you find me?" I said.Â
    "So we're going to ignore the supernatural disaster you just created in that poor alley?" I made a sound of protest, but she continued speaking. "Alrightie. I've been trying to talk to you since you ran out of the skating rink last night. But your phone's been going straight to voicemail. Stiles filled me in while you were sleeping a few hours ago. I thought you were supposed to be with him anyway"
    "Stiles?" I said, twisting to look at her as she started the car.Â
    "Yes, Stiles. He's going out of his fucking mind. You jumped out of his Jeep and ran into a snowstorm last night Y/N! That is not normal behavior."Â
    "Please, please just drive Kira. I can't talk to Stiles right now." Kira stared hard at me, before putting the car into drive and pulling out of the parking space. I didn't particularly care where we were going. Away was good enough.
    Eventually, Kira pulled off the highway and into a lookout rest stop. I stepped out of the car, suddenly feeling a need to be in the fresh air and out of the hot, stuffy vehicle. I dropped the blanket from my shoulders, ignoring looks my tattered clothes received from other travelers. I sat on top of the car and looked over at the view. We had driven far enough to get to the coast, I realized in surprise, looking at the expanse of ocean in front of me. The air was a biting cold, but the sting on my skin woke me up, filled my body with sharp pricks of energy. I heard Kira's door slam shut behind me. We had driven out of Beacon Hills in silence, for which I was grateful. However, I expected that courtesy would not be extended for much longer. Kira moved to sit beside me on the roof of the car.
    "I know you don't want to talk, but we have to. We're all concerned about you; Scott, Lydia, Stiles," I cringed, though I don't know if it was because of the mention of Lydia or Stiles. I didn't particularly want to talk about either of them. Unfortunately, Kira was much to quick not to pick up on my involuntary movement.Â
    "You know he's worried sick about you Y/N. Not just because you ran out into the middle of a fucking snowstorm last night. He says you've been acting strange for a while now. You aren't eating well, sleeping well. He also said-"
    "What?" I interrupted, snapping my eyes to hers, suddenly alert. "What else did he say?" I asked, searching her eyes for an answer. However much I loved Kira, I wasn't ready for her to know about...this. About whatever the fuck was going on with me. Even though we lived in a world of werewolf and spirits, I didn't even understand what was going on myself. I felt a wave of panic rise up in my chest and quickly crushed it. This wasn't the time or place. My body and mind were still reeling from the events of yesterday. I needed to rest and regroup. Then, I could look into whatever was happening to me. Kira looked startled at my outburst.Â
    "Nothing, nothing," she said quickly. "Just that you've been acting strange. And that he's worried." I sighed.Â
    "I know he's worried," I said, shaking my head. Suddenly, I felt a wave of fatigue crash over me, as if all the events of yesterday and this morning had knocked into me all at once. "But he can't help me right now, Kira." She shook her head at me.
    "Actually Y/N, I think he might be the only person who can help you right now." I opened my mouth to protest, but she held up a hand to silence me. She hopped off the roof of the car, and walked towards the railed path at the edge of the rest stop. She paused there, resting her hands on the railing and looking at over the seemingly endless blue. I followed her, taking a place at the railing next to her. "He's your best friend Y/N. No matter whats going on between you guys, no matter what unrequited love drama you guys have, he will always be there for you." I cast my eyes towards the horizon feeling them fill with tears against my will. There it was. Unrequited love drama. On top of my supernatural powers and possible possession, I had to deal with my teen angst bullshit. Unfortunately, the fact that I thought it was bullshit didn't make it hurt any less. I blinked my tears away and turned to meet her gaze.Â
    "Y/N, I don't know what's going on with you. I don't know if it's a boy - or a girl that's good with me too of course - or if it's your parents - or even if it's some supernatural shit," she said. I felt my eyes widen with panic when she mentioned supernatural, but thankfully, her gaze was now turned out towards the horizon. "But you need to talk to him about it. He's going crazy, and he knows you better than anyone. Better than I do." She turned back to look at me.Â
    I matched her gaze, trying to muster up the energy to fight. Instead I hung my head.Â
    "Kira I can't. I just can't talk to him about this."
    "Well too bad," came a voice from behind me. "Because we are having this conversation, and we are having it right now."
    The next few moments happened quite quickly. I turned towards Stiles, and registered his presence with an unpleasant dumb-founded sort of shock, like having an ice bucket of water dumped on you when you were least expecting it. I then whipped my head back towards Kira, who suddenly wasn't beside me. I reeled back around only to watch Kira give me a guilty shrug from the driver's seat of her car, before peeling out of the rest stop. I barely had time to flip her off before the car was out of sight. I tumbled between anger at Kira for tricking me and dread of the upcoming conversation. I reluctantly raised my gaze to Stiles, whose face was contorted into an odd expression of intense concern mixed with a sarcastic smile. He leaned against his blue jeep, waiting for me.
    "Fuck me," I said, walking over to him where he stood by Roscoe. I hopped into the passenger seat. We sat in awkward silence for about three minutes, with Stiles glancing over at me worryingly, before Stiles cleared his throat.
    "So," he said, looking over at me.
    "So," I said, not meeting his stare.
    "We are not leaving this parking lot until you tell me exactly what the fuck is going on," he said, not moving his gaze from my face. "I've been worried sick, do you understand that Y/N. For a while now. And we are not leaving here until you let me know how I can help you." I let lose a sigh, crushing my face into my hands.Â
    "Alright. Fine," I said turning my head to meet his gaze. "What do you want to know?" He blinked. Apparently, he had expected more of a fight. Or at least me to try to jump out of his car.
    "Uh- Okay first of all what is going on with you? You aren't acting like yourself. You're lying, you aren't eating much, and I know you aren't sleeping well. And second of all, again, what the fuck is going on with you? You caused a snowstorm - don't even try to deny it - and you wrecked an entire alley!" Stiles was out of breath by the time he finished speaking, still looking hard at me. I let loose a breath. I basically had two options: I could tell Stiles I was in love with him, or I could tell him that I had somehow developed supernatural powers that had to do with my intense emotions, and that they came with a creepy (and quite insulting) voice in my head. I couldn't lie; he knew me too well and would be able to spot a lie before I even started telling it. So that left me with two truths to choose from and one obvious choice.Â
    "I developed supernatural powers that come with a creepy poltergeist-esq voice in my head," I said levelly, looking him in the eyes. Stiles blinked.
    "Oh," he said. "Oh...um," he said, running his hands through his hair in the way that he did when he was stressed, or thinking intently. "Alrightie. Well, supernatural research happens to be my specialty," he said, flashing me a trade-mark sarcastic smile. I smiled back, though it felt forced. I was really just tired. His smiled crumpled as he took in my half-miserable smile. "Y/N," he said softly looking at me. "Why did you think you had to hide this from me? We tell each other everything. Everything.â He looked hard at me again, concern apparent in his brown eyes.Â
    âI know,â I said hoarsely. âI know,â I said again. I looked away from his now. âIâm scared Stiles. Iâm scared,â I said, my voice cracking.Â
    âY/N,â he said sharply, causing me to jump. âLook at me,â he said in a softer voice. I turned to meet his eyes. âWe deal with the supernatural all the time. We know how to handle this stuff. We always come out on top." His eyes burned with an intensity as he spoke, as if he were trying to reassure me just by looking at me. He reached out and grabbed my hand, holding it tightly. I wanted to stiffen, to harden myself against his warmth, but I was so tired. Instead, I let myself relax against him as he pulled me close to his chest, his heat warming my cold body. I closed my eyes against his chest, despite how much I knew it would hurt when he pulled away. "Y/N," he said softly, pulling my chin up with his fingers. "Nothing is going to happen to you," he said firmly.Â
    "How can you be so sure?" I said asked, meeting his stare. My worries that I had worked so hard to bury suddenly began to tumble out of me. "We don't know what's going on with me, we don't know how to fix it, we don't know if we can fix it, we don't know how to control it-" But suddenly, my words were cut off by the hard press of Stiles' lips on mine.
