The Wolf Always Howls, At A Full Moon

Peter walked me out of the bar, I was drunk and I was buzzed. “How can he be okay with just ignoring his girlfriend?” Peter ignored me, he clenched his jaw every time I mentioned Derek, even if I didn’t say his name. I grabbed Peter’s arm as we walked down the street, he tried to get my mind off of things. Cars drove by and crickets chirped as the night went on, “this town is so beautiful.” I looked around, “this is what I love about Beacon Hills, it's not a big city, it's just a town.” “Yeah it’s great, growing up here was a bit rough for my family being as we are well, werewolves.” 

I looked at Peter as he spoke, Derek and him had very similar features. The half smile they both make when they talked about something or someone was the thing I loved or how their eyes light up when they got excited, it was the little things I noticed. We had been walking and talking for awhile.

I looked and seen the high school in the distance, “maybe we should take a break and sit down.” Peter agreed We walked to the nearest bench. I laid my head on Peter’s shoulder and I stared at the Beacon Hills High School sign. “It’s crazy how much time he made for me back in high school, why couldn’t it just be like our high school days when?” I started to cry as memories came back. “When we were young and dumb, we were always together, nothing could keep us apart. Even later, the pack never interfered.” I placed my hands over my face as Peter placed his hand on my back. “Everyone misses their high school days when they’re older, our teenage years are supposed to be our best years.” Peter placed his chin on the top of my head.

There was a small crack noise, like someone had stepped on a stick. My head turns and I looked out into the parking lot and seen him. I sat up and sighed. He was doing his nightly run. Peter looked at him as he looked at me. Derek took an earbud out and started to jog towards us. Peter hesitated, turning my head to face him and placed his hand under my chin. I looked into his eyes, it was all happening too fast. He kissed me quickly. I smiled in the kiss and gave in. Peter’s hand cupped my face as he deepened the kiss. Derek paused for a second. He stared at me and turned around. He was angry with me. So he turned around and he jogged into the woods.

I pulled away from Peter smiling.“That was amazing” I was breathing heavily and so was Peter. He smiled at me and chuckled. Peter looked around, “let me get you home it’s getting late.” We got off of the bench and walked to my house nearby. I sobered up more as we walked. We walked in silence for away before I spoke, “I’m glad you were able to get my mind off of things.” Peter looked at me, “I’m glad you’re okay.”
