Chapter 13
"Okay, so maybe that plan was a little bad, but-" Scott starts to explain the horrible plan he just made. We were talking about what we were gonna do to help Stiles, and Scott came up with the worst plan ever.
"That's plan is not just bad, it's suicide." I pointed out.
"I just-" "Maybe Scott shouldn't come up with the plans from now on." Allison giggled. Scott crossed his arms and rolled his eyes.
"Fine. Come up with something better yourself." Scott says. "We will." I assured him.
"We need to make sure our abilities are something we can use to help." Allison said.
"Well, Kira has her sword and the oni carry swords too, so doesn't that work out?" I asked.
"Yes but that not all we have to worry about. Scott and Isaac are werewolves, do you really think werewolves are a match against swords?" Allison asked.
"Are you trying to say we're weak?" Isaac asked. "No, not at all." Allison winked at him.
What the hell was that? Did she just-
I'm not jealous. I'm not. I can't be. I have Theo and Theo makes me the happiest girl on earth. Who cares what Allison and Isaac do?
Isaac blushed and so did Allison.
"Anyways," I started. "Do you think a bow and arrow is a match against them? If werewolves aren't, what in the hell makes you think crossbow and knives are gonna do?" I asked.
"We can figure that out later. You still need to figure out what you're gonna do. You don't know how to use your powers properly, so how are you gonna help?" Allison questions.
"I don't care how I help. All I know is that's my brother and I'm gonna help him no matter what." I tell her.
"We know that you're going to help, but you have to keep in mind that you have to help and stay alive at the same time." Scott told me.
"I know that." "I know you don't listen to a word people tell you, but I'm serious Alex. Don't try to sacrifice yourself for Stiles because that won't work. You need to stay alive." Scott adds.
"But my brother needs to stay alive too." I say. "We can keep him alive. Don't worry about him. Just worry about fighting off the oni. We can save Stiles."
"You just stay safe." Isaac says. "Yeah, be careful. Don't get hurt." Allison comments.
"Okay, wait. Why did this conversation turn into everyone telling me not to get hurt? You should be telling each other the same thing, not only me. I'm fine." I tell them.
"You're not fine, Alex." Allison told me. "You won't survive without us knocking some sense into you." She added.
"Well, I guess you don't win the award for best motivator." I rolled my eyes.
"I'm just telling you the truth. That's what you need to know."
"I know what I need to know, Allison. I don't need you going around guiding me like a little kid." I scoffed.
"I think you do need me going around like this. Alex, you've been hurt a thousand times and you still don't know better. You're gonna end up dead." Allison says.
"Well at least if I die, I'll die trying to save someone. Unlike you. What have you been doing for the past 3 months? Moping about your mom, and not once have you tried to help us with something. You're too busy worrying about your own problems, you don't have time to actually help your friends." I explained.
"Yes, my mom died and I was sad about it but you can't say I didn't help with anything. Who was there when Derek and Scott got trapped in the vault with Boyd and Cora? And you guys wouldn't even have been able to help Malia if it wasn't for me." Allison defended herself.
"Girls, I think-"
"Alright. What about when Scott and Kira were almost killed? You didn't do anything. Hell, you weren't even there. I was and I risked my life for them while you were at home doing god knows what." I rolled my eyes.
"That day was exactly 2 month since my mother died. Excuse me if I don't have time for the supernatural while visiting my moms grave." She says.
"Your mom is gone, you have to live with that. Just because she's dead doesn't give you the ability to not do anything. You still have to help the rest of us." I say.
"I do help you guys. I help everyone. Especially you, Alex." "I don't need you to help me! I don't need anyone to help me!" I point out.
"Hey, I think we should-" Isaac and Scott both said.
"Isaac shut up!" I yelled. "Scott shut up!" Allison yelled at the same time.
"Don't you dare say you don't need help. You need all the help you can get. You can barely fight for yourself. And I didn't to say it, but acting like this, you're definitely not gonna survive the night we fight off the oni."
"I don't need anyone to fight for me. And I don't care if I don't survive, as long as Stiles is alright." I told her.
"That's just it! You don't care about yourself, you care about everyone else around you. That's what's gonna get you killed."
"Oh, well I'm sorry if I care about people. I'm sorry that I don't want to lose anyone else, seeing as I already lost my mom, my stepmom and almost my brother." I rolled my eyes.
"Well, I've lost people too."
"You've lost a person. Your mom. That's all. Your family didn't burn to death in a fire. And plus, if it wasn't for your family, I would still have the rest of mine." I tell her.
"Are we still milking this?" She asked.
"Yes, we are still milking this." I answer.
"Look, guys. If we could just-"
"You're not acting like a pretty good friend right now, you know that? You're acting like a bitch." Allison says.
Did she just call me a bitch? Oh no. She does not know what's coming to her.
"Allison, I think-"
"I'm a bitch? Just because I wanna save my brother and not be bothered with your nonsense?" I asked.
"You've lost all your memory, you have scars from the night the Darach got you and you have bruises and cuts from when you tried to save Scott and Kira." Allison points out. "And you still risk your life instead of trying to save it." She adds.
"At least I risk my life for people instead of just sitting there while they get hurt." I say.
"Sorry for trying to keep myself alive." She says sarcastically.
"And I'm a bitch?" I mumbled.
"You know what? I'm done with this. I don't have to argue with you. Goodbye." Allison's said, walking out of the front door. "Allison, wait." Isaac called, following after her.
Scott stayed with me, he wasn't gonna leave anyways, this was his house.
"Are you okay?" He looked at me. "I'm fine." I lied. I was angry and sad at the same time. Allison was my best friend, but she was acting like an ass.
"No you're not." Scott walks towards me. "If you knew that then why would you ask?" I ask.
"I wanted to see if you would lie, which you did." He says. I felt something drip on to my cheek. I placed my hand there to feel something wet.
"You're crying." Scott says, hugging me.
Crying? I'm crying over this? Am I serious? I'm stronger than this. I don't need Allison. If she's acting like this then maybe she isn't really my best friend.
Scott released me and I sat on the stool in his kitchen.
I put my arms on the counter and put my head down on them.
The door opened and closed, but I didn't see who it was. I didn't care.
"What's wrong with her?" I hear Theo ask. "Nothing." Scott answered.
"Oh c'mon Scott. I know when my girlfriend's upset about something." Theo says.
"It's nothing she just has a headache. She doesn't feel good." Scott lies.
I raised my head up to look at them. Theo walked over to me and I stood up.
"I'm gonna go upstairs." Scott says, walking up the stairs to his room.
"Why are you here?" I asked, sounding unintentionally harsh.
"Ooh, someone's feisty." He chuckles. "Sorry." I forced a smile.
"Hey, you don't have to fake a smile for me. I know you don't feel good." He says, leaning down to kiss me. We broke apart and pressed our foreheads together.
"And I have to meet my parents at the airport when I'm done here. I wanted to say goodbye." He says. "Oh right, you're leaving." I remembered, turning around and crossing my arms.
"Aw, you know I would stay if I could." Theo says. "I know." I sighed.
He wrapped his arms around me from behind and started placing kisses on my neck.
"Who's gonna kiss me like this when you're not here?" I asked. "You're only gonna miss me because I kiss you?" Theo asks. I turned around to see him pouting.
"Of course." I joked. He frowned. "I'm gonna miss everything about you." I reassured him.
"You better." He says. I playfully rolled my eyes and smiled.
"I told you, you don't have to fake a smile. I h-" "I'm not faking this time." I told him.
Theo smiled and pulled me closer to him as I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him.
We kept kissing until the door opened again. It was Isaac and Allison.
Theo and I let go of each other and Scott came back down the steps.
"Hey." Theo waves to them. It was kind of awkward. I faced him. "I'm gonna miss you. See you when you come back." I told him.
"I'm gonna miss you too." He pecks my lips lightly. "Bye." He says before walking out the door.
As Theo walked out, someone walked in. It was Scott's mom.
"Hey Melissa." I said and the rest of them greeted her. "Hey Mom." Scott says.
"I brought Chinese. Anyone hungry?" She asked. "Sure." Scott and I both say.
"Actually, I have to go home." Allison says. "Okay, and Isaac?" Melissa asked. "I have to take her home." He says. Of course he does.
"Okay, see you kids later." Scotts mom says goodbye before they leave.
This "strategies to help Stiles" chat was the most unsuccessful thing ever.
