"Arielle. Sweetheart. Please wake up. Come on, you can do this. Remember me? Your Der-Bear? I'm here for you please don't leave me." I heard the broken voice of my brother say grabbing my hand. I tried to signal that I was alive but my body refused to move. Am I alive? I heard beeping, felt tears hit my skin and I felt horrible for not responding. People never see this side of Derek so I know there isn't anyone in the room. I tried wiggling my toes but that seemed to not work either. So I tried to talk. And what do you know, it worked. I most likely should have tried this first.
"Derek." I said with my voice cracking. The more I started talking the more aware I became of my surroundings. I felt his eyes scanning my body with worry, I felt the tubes in my nose to help my breathing, but I mostly felt my pain being taken away. Like something was actually taking away my pain.
"Oh thank you. Open your eyes." He said hastily grabbing my hand. I fluttered my eyes opening, shutting them immediately, letting out a groan. "Yeah the lights are a little bright huh?" He asked with a half hearted chuckle, turning off the brightest light as my eyes shifted open again. I could tell he was happy. Derek never smiles but he had one of the biggest smiles ever right now. This just bought me back to our childhood. It's crazy to think we're 6 years apart with considering how similar we look. I shot him a weak smile as I sat up a little, wincing in the process. his hands shot behind me helping me sit up.
"I think you already know i'm going to ask you what happened," He said giving me a stern big brother look, I just let out a sigh,"but I don't want to pressure you into telling me anything." I gave him a thankful smile, considering me head was still aching. "But I do want to know one thing," He said grabbing my hands in his. I nodded signaling for him to continue, "Did anything happen between those 2 boys? Did they do something to you?" He asked with a hurt yet angry look on his face.
I shook my head furiously,"No, if anything they helped me. Scott even gave me his jacket. And, Stiles kept me awake. Nothing else happened." I let out with a slight sigh and a shrug. Derek just nodded,kissed my forehead, and walked out the room. I'm really hoping he didn't threaten them.
"Oh my god. Thank god your Ok. I've never panicked that much in my life." Stiles rushed out as he and Scott filled into my room. "Yeah, I thought Derek was gonna murder us. Are you OK?" Scott murmured letting out a small chuckle. So he did threaten them. He's such a great big brother, I missed his over-protectiveness.
"Sorry about him. I'm fine." I said giving the boys in front of me a reassuring smile. My choice of words earned a nervous yet embarrassed chuckle from Stiles,"Yeah we know that your fine."
His comment caused my cheeks to heat up and I started to play with me fingers. "Stiles you can't just walk in here and make people uncomfortable." Scott lectured his friend, letting out a groan. Stiles just mumbled a 'sorry' I waved them off with a smile,"It's fine."
"Do you remember anything?" Scott asked me coming to sit in the chair to the left of me as Stiles sat to the right of me.
"I just remember waking up and hearing you guys. Its a lot I've seemed to forget though. Most of my memories are faded and I can only remember bits and pieces." I ranted, finally letting out. This was by far the most stressful thing in my life.
"Well since i'm guessing you can't remember any of your friends, just know we're here for you." Stiles said sarcastically, giving a reassuring smile.
"Great. I want you guys to be my friends." I said with fake sarcasm, letting out a slight giggle.
"Guys. Please don't ruin this patient I actually like her. Mam your being discharged. We have Derek Hale as your legal guardian so you'll be leaving with him. He bought you some clothes also." The beautiful nurse said to me handing me some joggers and a baggy shirt. Of course Derek, still won't let me get attention from boys I see.
"Thank you Ms.McCall." I thanked her, sending her a smile.
"Mom. We weren't ruining her we were talking to her." Scott said rolling his eyes playfully at his mom.
"Yeah well you guys have school in the morning so head home." Scott's mom said smiling at the 2 boy.
I sat up a little more to give the boys hugs and say our goodbyes.
"Bye Arielle. I'll see you at school tomorrow?" Scott asked me, arching his eyebrow. I just shrugged my shoulders showing I didn't know yet. "Not with these clothes." I replied smiling. Scott and his mom walked out the room which then left me and Stiles. Or so I thought. As soon as Scott left Derek walked back in the room and leaned against the wall.
"There's the big, bad wolf I know." Stiles said sarcastically.
"Derek i'll be out in a moment. Can you step outside, please?"I asked putting extra emphasis on the please so he got my point. He narrowed his eyes on Stiles and shook his head no.
"I don't trust him in the same room as you alone. The amount of lust and desire radiating off of him smells disgusting." Derek snarled looking Stiles into his soul. Stiles cheeks heated up as he shifted on his feat.
"Derek! Leave." I said firmly letting out a childish sigh.
"Ugh fine. Just know I can here whatever you say." He noted looking from Stiles to me then back to Stiles. We both just sighed.
"No, its fine. If you were my little sister i'd be over protective too." Stiles said giving me a cute smile and earning a low growl from Derek outside the door. "I should get going. I really hope to see you at school tomorrow. I'd actually have a reason to go." Stiles said leaning over and giving me a hug, as he clearly inhaled my scent. I let out a soft giggle. Once again, Derek decided to be extra and let out a loud sigh.
"Bye Stiles." I said while giggling, pulling away from him and kissing his cheek
Derek then marched back into the room,"Ok yeah this is over with. The smell has just gotten worse and now it radiating off of you to,"Derek paused pointing at me,"if I smell anymore i'll suffocate." Derek snapped,pushing my door open and marching over to Stiles.
"Derek put him down." I said angrily, as Derek picked up Stiles by his collar. He's so embarrassing sometimes. But at least Stiles knows he isn't blindly shooting.
"N-No it's fine." Stiles said, squirming having a spazz attack in Derek's hand. Derek simply place him down outside me room and slammed the door. I saw Stiles wave from the window before his dad pulled him by his ear away from the small glass opening. Everybody is trying to ruin my life I swear.
"Go get dressed. I picked out the clothes for you but especially Stiles. I would hate for him to leave and not get to see you." Derek smirked at me. I just nodded having an idea. I walked to the bathroom and only put on the oversized tee so it looked like a short dress. Don't try and embarrass me Hale. Seeing him distracted by looking out the window, I rushed out the room. He heard as the door slammed rather loudly and raced after me. I managed to make it outside before he grabbed me knowing he wouldn't grab me in front of people. I made my way over to Stiles, before giving him a quick hug and kissed dangerously close to his lips. His dad didn't notice as he was distracted by other officers.
I could feel Stiles once again had a spazz attack as he closed his eyes out of pure joy and excitement. When his eyes opened and they were flushed with adoration. He most likely saw a furious Derek in the back staring intensely at us two, but I can tell at the moment he didn't care. That just made me smile and blush. I walked away, making sure slightly swaying my hips. I could tell soon as I turned away Stiles couldn't help himself from letting out his excitement, as he fist bumped the air. I could feel his intense stares on my bum but that just caused me to smirk at Derek. He growled and stepped behind me cutting off his show. I could hear Stiles wince as I turned to see the sheriff grabbing his ear. I'm assuming they're family.
"Keep. Walking." Derek seethed at me. I rolled my eyes and turned around. He's such a drama queen. I mean i'm 16 I should be allowed to have some type of interest, whether that be sexual or not. "I can't believe you just did that." We both said to each other at the same time.
"Really? Derek c'mon. I am old enough to where if I want a boyfriend I should be able to have one." I sighed, looking down at the ground.
"What do you mean no?" I stopped walking to look at him. He only walked a little ahead of me before turning around and responding,"No."
Before I could protest he dragged me out to his car. I would compliment his choice of car, but i'm a little to angry for that. The drive to the house wasn't filled with awkwardness but mainly anger. I had put on my pants in the meantime. When we arrived to the house I sat in the car.
"Get out?" Derek asked his voice softening as he probably smelt the sadness radiating off of my body. I didn't like it here. The memories were too much. I shook my head,"How do you even live here?"
"The more you stay in Beacon Hills the more you'll learn about the fire. The more you learn, the more you actually wanna stay here." He said giving me a slight smile.
"Yeah. I guess. Where do you sleep?" I asked him feeling the tears burning my eyes, as though smoke was consuming my vision, just like the night of the fire.
"I have a little secret. I'll show you." He said walking to my side of the car and opening my door.
I was about to step out before another question ran through my brain,"Is there spiders?"
"Most definitely. And roaches. All bugs really" He replied with a grim smile. I shook my head, letting him know I wasn't going in there. I'd rather spend the night in here.
"Oh come on. Most of them won't bite you."He said rolling his eyes, probably thinking I was such a girly girl.
"I'll sleep in the backseat." I said crawling to the back. Derek just let out a sigh and closed my door. After thinking about how uncomfortable the backseat was I was thinking about giving in, but then I thought about the bugs and decided against it. The backdoor opposite of the one I was leaning on was snatched open. I let out a scream when I felt a hand grab my foot.
"Shhhh. Its me." I heard Stiles say as he jumped in the back of the car with me.
"Oh my god. Stiles what the hell are you doing." I asked him bringing my knees closer to my chest and hitting him upper arm lightly.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare y-"
"Stiles let's go. Flirt later. We gotta fin-"
Stiles cut off what ever Scott was saying by slamming the door. He gave me a sheepish smile and told me to just stay in the car. Where's Derek? What was he about to say?
I didn't even try to stay awake, considering I was having a pretty stressful day. Staying awake for sure would have been the better choice this time. -------
