After the strange encounter of the Derek Hale, Scott headed to work and I am here stuck with Stiles in his jeep as he is taking me home.
“Imagine if he actually is a werewolf. How crazy would that be?” I ask the buzz cut next to me, letting my imagination run wild.
“Werewolves don’t exist Dayton, I was just joking. He can’t be.” He says.
“We need to research on this because whatever is happening to him could be dangerous.” I say as I keep my head on the road. “So how is you and Lydia?” I speak trying to make conversation.
“We’re bad. She probably doesn’t even know about my existence. Which sucks.” He speaks with hurt in his voice still with his eyes on the road.
“It’s her loss you know. I bet if she got to know you better she would fall for you.” I say and quickly regret speaking that. What if he clocks? Oh my god what am I doing? So stupid Dayton so so stupid.
“I guess.” He chuckles. “I like your outfit.” He says and I look at my outfit as I kind of forgot what I was wearing.
“You’re kidding right?” I say and we both laugh.
We finally arrived at my house and he stops his jeep.
“Thanks Stiles the man.” I say and I hug him. I open the door and mumble a ‘bye’ as he returns it. I close the door behind me and walk to my door and unlocking it.
I look back and Stiles is still there looking. I laugh at him and wave at him before walking inside.
My dad doesn’t know I am gay but I am going to have to tell him soon. Stiles keeps telling me to tell him because he would love me no matter what and bla bla bla, but everytime I try I chicken out its like I can’t make myself say the words.
I guess part of me is scared that my father will not treat me like he always did. I don’t want it to be awkward. Again he comes from a family that isn’t really a fan of the LGBTQ+ community.
Yet I have never seen him making comments towards LGBTQ+ people either, only my grandad who hates me after I called him a flag shagger.
I get an Orange and walk upstairs to my room and sit down on my computer chair and putting my bag down on the edge of the bed. I start eating the Orange quickly before starting to research a bit on what is going on with Scott but google has the trick of worrying everyone based on any symptom you have.
I decide to quit trying to look and I go rest.
First day was quite alright though.
//
I shoved the books I prayed I wouldn’t need today into my locker, trying to keep out the chattering currently beaming through the corridor.
“Sup D.” I hear a familiar voice show up beside me, Danny.
“Hi there.” I say with a smile before closing my locker. Danny has been my friend since I came out officially, since apparently there are not a lot of Homosexuals that are out in this school.
Danny is a really nice guy plus he is hot, very very hot. I shake my head at my thoughts. Lame.
“How was your day yesterday, I didn’t see you.” I say as we walk to the changing rooms, we had lacrosse practice next. Where I don’t play, which I’m glad since I do other things with my free time.
“Oh it was normal, I hanged with Jackson, Lydia and the new girl. She seems cool.” He says and I nod.
“She does.” I agree. ‘It’s good she has people like you guys to help her out, can be quite daunting, the first day.’
” It sure is. What is going on with McCall, by the way? I know your one of his best friends. He was amazing yesterday.” He says and I think about what I am going to say because I don’t want people knowing Scott’s business.
“Oh he just – practiced a lot during summer break.” I lie with a smile on my face.
We got to the changing rooms and we parted ways. Leaving me with only thoughts and questions in my head as it returns back to the werewolf situation.
//
After changing I walked to the field and Scott and Stiles were already there. I walk towards them but I am cut off by the coach himself.
“Barnett. Your trying out. I hope just like your friend McCall you turned into a Lacrosse Professional during the summer break.” He says and I chuckle nervously.
He goes away to talk to other players. “Greenberg! Are you kiddin’ me?” he shouts at his usual punching bag, Greenberg and I walk to Stiles.
“Hey.” I say.
“Hey, what did Coach want?” He asks.
“Oh apparently I am also trying out. He thinks I am going to turn out to be good just like Scott.” I say and he looks at me shocked.
“So you’re both leaving me now? What is this.” He asks and I chuckle.
“Stop being a baby. I am not going to make it anyways.” I say and we make faces at each other before I leave for the field. “Unless I got bit as well and you don’t know.” I joke about.
“Fu-” Stiles is interrupted by the voice of our lovely coach.
“All right, gather around.” Coach says and I gather around him next to Greenberg and Scott. I smile at Scott. While I look at Greenberg.
Sometimes I feel bad for Greenberg. I don’t know why he is picked on so much.
I turn my attention to the coach.
I look at the bleachers and I see Allison and Lydia showing up Allison flashing a smile towards Scott and he waves at her.
“You got a question, McCall?” Coach asks gaining the attention of both me and Scott.
“What?” Scott asks innocently.
“You raised your hand.” The coach says.
“Didn’t you see? There was a massive fly flying around.” I decide to cover up for my friend.
“Yes, that’s what – flies do, Barnett.” Coach looks at us oddly while noting something down on his records but nods after while Scott thanks me in a whisper.
“All right, you know how this goes. If you don’t make the cut, you’re most likely warming the bench for the rest of the season.” He says, I really don’t mind basically free period. “But make first string and you play, your parents are proud, your girlfriend or boyfriend loves ya’, everything else is cream cheese. Now show me what you got.” He says before the team starts clapping before making their way to where their supposed to be.
I walk to my place and look at the benches to see Stiles looking at Scott and then turning to me to give me a wave and wave back. Hope I survive.
The whistle blows and the game begins.
The pace is fast and brutal. The ball gets passed to Scott and he runs with it with Jackass Whittemore running after him. Scott passes the ball to me and I run further before I feel a pain on my leg and I am thrown to the floor.
The whistle blows and I feel pain all over my body, especially on my leg as everyone including coach get around me while Scott and Danny come to my aid. “Fuck my life.” I managed to let out.
“Calm down okay. Somebody get him to the infirmary.”
“Dayton?!” I hear Stiles’ worried voice as he runs towards the crowd.
“Stilinski and Danny help Dayton to the infirmary.” I get up and the two boys help me make my way to the infirmary.
“Who the hell hurt you?” Stiles grunted.
“No, its okay. It’s a game those things are supposed to happen.” I say. Still in pain. “Coach did I make it?”
We pass by Coach as he simply shakes his head in thought.
“Oh my god what if I can’t walk ever again. I can’t feel my right leg!” I exclaim.
“Calm down. The nurse is going to fix you.” Danny speaks.
“Danny, this isn’t something you can just fix, what are they going to do? Sprinkle some fairy dust?” I say, the two boys ignoring me.
We get to the infirmary and the boys place me in a chair and the nurse comes in.
“Hello boys, oh no! what happened to you?” She asks coming to me. “Practice happened.” Stiles says.
“I’m going to go back to practice call me if you need help.” Danny speaks and I nod. He heads back to the field.
“Stiles you can go too.” I say as nurse is taking a look at my leg.
“Nah, I’ll stay.” He says. “Not like I’ll do much on the bench, you know?” He scratches the back of his neck.
“Yeah you’re definitely going to need crutches for about two days, just to help you out and put less pressure on the leg to make sure it has time to heal.” She says before applying some cream into my leg. I nod at her.
“Great.” I add sarcastically. “Do I still have to come to school?”
I slowly get up with Stiles helping me.
“Could you take him to the hospital to collect the crutches?” the nurse asks, ignoring my question as Stiles nods.
“Yep, lets go.” He says and he helps me walk to his jeep.
He puts me in the passenger sit and he walks the other way to his place. He turns on the jeep and we start the journey to the hospital.
“You okay?” Stiles asks looking between the road and me.
“Yeah… I’m – Better.” I say still with a hand on my leg. “You didn’t have to do all this. Thank you.” I say.
“Of course.” He says.
My mind keeps going to the field and what happened. Why am I so weak? Sometimes I just wish I was stronger. I wanna be strong. I don’t want to be fragile, I want to prove everyone wrong.
“What are you thinking about?” He asks from beside me.
“Nah – nothing – It’s just – I feel so weak – I want to be strong you know.” I say looking down. It feels good to be honest about what you are feeling sometimes, I have always felt open to do that with Stiles.
“Oh, come on. You are one of the strongest people I know. I mean – I don’t know how you are able to maintain a positive vibe and a smile through everything. That right there is strength.” He says before looking at me. “Hey don’t feel bad. The same would probably happen to me, have you seen me run?” He asks whilst making me laugh.
“Definitely not my thing, that is off dispute. ” I say and I smile quickly turning into a frown when I see the hospital.
We finally get to the hospital. We go to the reception and we finally get my crutches. At first I find it hard to use them but then I finally get the hang of it. Please let these two days go quickly.
//
Laying in Stiles’ bed reading a history book as Stiles is researching stuff about werewolves. Apparently Scott did pretty good after I left and he made first line as did Danny. I am happy for both of them, I also got the news I was gonna be on the bench. Fair enough.
“Cleópatra was such a bad ass. Yes!” I say jokingly, getting bored, Stiles only replies with his eyes as they roll back slightly.
“Okay before Scott comes I guess I will tell you first.” Stiles says turning his chair around but is interrupted by a knock on the door, Stiles opens the door and Scott is standing there with a grin on his face.
“Ugh – Get In!” Stiles says before grabbing Scott and pushing him inside. “Guess I’mma tell you both at the same time.”
“Hi guys. Day are you okay? How’s your leg.” He asks.
“It’s getting better. I just have to use crutches for two days or so.” I say and smile at him as he takes a seat next to me.
“Okay, you have to see this. I’ve been reading. Websites. Books, all this information.” Stiles says getting some papers from his printer as Scott takes off his jacket. He turns to me.
“How much Adderall has he had?” He asked still with a grin on his face.
“A lot as you can see.” I say and chuckle.
“That’s not the point – Just listen.” Stiles says.
“Is this about the body? Did they find out who did it?” Scott asks as he quickly stands up.
“No, apparently they’re still questioning people.” I say.
“Yeah, even Derek Hale.” Stiles adds.
Stiles turns his chair around to face us.
“The guy from the woods – – ” Scott asks before being interrupted.
“Yeah but that’s not it.” Stiles says.
“What then?” Scott asks, frustration dripping from his voice.
“Remember the Joke the other day? Not a joke anymore.” Stiles says. He looks at me for help and I sigh.
“The wolf, the bite in the woods.” I state and Scott nods confused listening to us. “the once a month thing – that’s still a joke actually – there is no such thing.” I let out, both now looking at me. “You get the gist, go on, Stilinski.”
“Anyways, I started doing all this research and reading – Do you even know why a wolf howls?” Stiles asks.
“Should I?” Scott asks confused. His not making this easier.
“I assume its a signal.” I say and Stiles mumbles a ‘thank you’.
“When a wolf is alone it howls to signal its location to the rest of the pack.” I continue.
Scott still has a confused look on his face.
“So if you heard it howling that mean there’s others. Maybe a whole pack of them.” Stiles says and I nod. This is quite an odd situation I’d say. I can’t believe we are trying to put it in our best friend’s head that his a werewolf. Definitely not an easy thing.
“A pack of wolves?” Scott asks.
“Nah – a pack of werewolves.” I speak, a chuckle coming out with my words, “No, literally. I’m just in a giggly mood.” Still sitting down on Stiles’ bed which is quite comfy.
“You guys are seriously wasting my time with this?” Scott says obviously confused and taken back. “You know I’m picking up Allison in an hour.” He says and I can’t believe I am not going to the party. Freaking Jackson…
“We saw you on the field Scott. What you did wasn’t just amazing. Okay? It was impossible.” Stiles says and I nod.
“Are you believing this?” Scott asks me.
“He does have a point Scott. I mean you don’t even use your inhaler during practice anymore. You don’t just stop using it over night.” I say and Stiles nods at me.
“So? I made a good shot!” Scott says frustratingly as he turns back to Stiles.
“No, you made an incredible shot. I mean, the way you moved – – the speed, your reflexes.” Stiles says as he keeps pacing around desperately.
“People can’t just do that overnight. Then there’s the hearing and the senses and you like Dayton said, you haven’t even used the inhaler since that night that you were bit.” He says and I nod.
“Sorry Scott but I think Stiles is right on this one, as crazy as this may sound.”
“I can’t think about this right now, we will talk tomorrow, okay?” He asks.
“Actually the full moon is today.” I say, looking at my phone’s notification. Thank you weather app for being useful.
“Yeah, don’t you get it?” he speaks obviously tired of trying to explain this to his best friend.
“What are you guys trying to do? I just made starting line-up. I have a date with a girl I still can’t believe wants to go out with me. Everything in my life is somehow perfect – why are you trying to ruin it?” Scott says getting angry.
“We’re trying to help, Scott.” I say. “This can be dangerous.”
“You’re cursed Scott. And its not only the moon that causes you to change, it’s also when your bloodlust will be at its peak.” Stiles speaks.
“Bloodlust?” Scott asks not knowing what that means.
“The urge to kill.” I state.
“I’m already starting to have an urge to kill, Dayton.” He says. I hope I don’t die tonight but then again I’m not going to the party so I think I might be safe, safety in numbers I guess.
“You need to hear this. The change can be caused by anger or anything that raises your pulse. Okay?” Stiles reads from a page of a book. “And I’ve never seen anyone raise your pulse like Allison does. You have to cancel the date. You have to call her.” Stiles says and I agree.
We don’t want the new girl getting in danger or dying in the hands of her crush. That’s horrible but totally amazing for a movie based on a real life story.
Stiles moves to Scott’s jacket and pulls out his phone.
“I’m going to cancel the date right now.” Stiles says.
“Stiles –” I say but I am interrupted by Scott.
“What are you doing? Give me that.” Scott says getting closer to Stiles. This is not good.
“Give it to me.” Scott shouts, gets his phone and shoves Stiles against the wall.
“Scott!” I shout. “Scott please stop this right now!” I shout, getting up, not noticing the state of my leg.
Scott lashes out at Stiles’ computer chair sending it flying across the room. Shaking with Anger he gets up and apparently realises the situation and the events that have happened.
“I didn’t mean to do that.” He says looking at Stiles with a sorry expression on his face.
I’m looking at Scott with a shocked face. I can’t believe my eyes. Did that just happen?
He starts to walk away.
“I’m sorry. I’m Sorry.” He keeps repeating it until he is out the door.
“Stiles.” I say and slowly walk to his place and place my hand on his shoulder. “Are you okay? I don’t know what’s got to him but – he didn’t mean it.” I say and Stiles nods, his face drained with sadness bringing a ting to my heart.
“Yeah – I know.” He says before standing and helping me back to his bed as my leg was hurting already.
He places his chair back and sees the claw marks on the back of the chair.
“Oh my god…” I say. He actually is a werewolf. He even has claws.
“We have to go to the party.” He says and helps me stand up.
“Hello? Have you seen my leg.” I say as I pick up my crutches and stand up with Stiles’ help.
“Stay here then. I need to go, I won’t be long!” He says, already almost halfway through the door.
“I’m coming, help me mate.” I say as I try to stand.
Fuck my life.
//
We get to the party, we could hear the music already from a mile away.
Stiles parks his jeep and helps me make my way inside the party. I quickly loose Stiles which is awesome right? Great way to start a party.
People keep getting in front of me as I try to go sit down.
“Excuse me.” I say but they don’t seem to notice. “Excuse me.” I ask again and they still didn’t seem to notice, starting to get angry, I find another way to get their attention since they seemed to be fucking deaf.
“Move cunts.” I shout, finally noticing me and they move out of the way a little taken back. “Thank you!” I sigh.
I walk to a chair and ask for a water.
“Water? Why not a beer, this is a party!” The bartender shouted through the music, which made me wonder who was the horrible Dj.
“Trust me, my life is active enough.” I say finally slowly taking a seat.
“Come on just a little beer.” The man insisted, making me glare at him for about 5 seconds.
“Don’t tell me how to live my life. I want water. W-A-T-E-R.” I say, spelling the whole word until he finally gave me what I asked for.
I look around and I find Scott and Allison dancing. Aw they seem like such a happy couple. I ship it.
Okay focus Dayton.
I see Scott always glancing at the porch of the house. I look behind me to see Lydia and Jackson sucking each other’s faces.
Well at least someone’s having fun or a little more fun.
“Hey get a room.” I shout at them as Jackson just throws a middle finger and I open my mouth, pretending to look shocked but I really just wanted to find a bathroom to throw up on.
I look back at Allison and Scott and Scott is no longer there, Allison seems to be confused and somewhat hurt.
I look at the front yard to see Scott walking away and Stiles running towards his jeep. He’s got this controlled.
I make my way through the annoying crowd and go to Allison.
“Hi Allison?.” I say and she turns to me with a smile but still hurt because of Scott. “Yeah. Hi.” She answers back.
“I am Dayton Barnett. I am in almost all your classes.” I say and she nods.
“Yeah I have noticed you. You’re the one who hangs out with Scott and Stiles. By the way how is your leg? I was on the bench.” She asks.
“Average I guess.” I say making the brunette laugh.
“uhm – Is something wrong with Scott?” She asks.
“Uhm – Yeah he is having some personal problems because of lacrosse and school but nothing to worry about.” I say and she nods. “He will talk to you tomorrow I bet.”
She smiles as I look at the known keep start to drive to follow Scott.
“Hey Allison, Dayton.” I turn around to look at Derek Hale. The Hottie I saw on the woods.
“Hi there.” I say, suspiscious about this guy, at first he is all oh ‘gtfo’ in our faces and now he’s all ‘hey.’
“Hi.” Allison mumbles.
“I’m a friend of Scott and he told me to drive Allison home. If you want – I can take you too Dayton.” He says and I look at Allison as she is looking at me with a smile…
I mean Stiles did tell me to keep an eye on Allison and I don’t want her to be left alone with Derek since he is one of the suspects for killing that girl in the woods. So I kind of have to go with her.
“Sure.” I say and we walk to his car as he helps me with the crutches which was sweet of him. I really didn’t need to judge this book by its cover
“Thanks.” I mumble.
We remain silent for the rest of the journey. He first arrives at the Argent residence and drops Allison off.
“Bye Allison.” I say and she waves at me.
Derek keeps driving. “Thanks. For driving me home.” I say.
“I am not driving you home. I am warning you. Don’t let your friend play lacrosse otherwise bad stuff is going to happen especially to a new born.” He says as we are stopped.
“Hold the fuck on, who do you think you are trying to warn me, why don’t you tell all that to Scott, huh? Scared of a ‘new born’?” I ask, seeing this guy clentch his hard jaw.
“New born–?” He nods and opens the door to let me out. “I am warning you. If you want your friends to be safe—don’t let Scott play and keep him safe.” He says with a warning voice.
How did he know about all this?
Focus – hes kicking you out of his car in crutches.
“I have crutches.” I say and he shrugs as if to say ‘I don’t give a flying fuck.’ Which is good to know.
I walk out and get my Crutches.
Great.
Derek drives away leaving me at the side of the road.
“Asshole…” I say and start to walk home but I see a familiar jeep and he parks next to me.
“Dayton—thank God your alright.” He says before giving me a hug.
“Why did you get in the car with Derek? He’s dangerous.” He says as he helps me to his jeep.
“Well yeah but you told me to keep an eye on Allison and that’s what I did.” I say and he nods but sighs.
“That wanker left me here and didn’t even take me home.” I say and look pissed.
“You shouldn’t expect much from Derek.” He says as he starts the engine.
“How’s Scott?”I ask. He sighs.
“He went after Derek after I told him he drove you and Allison home.” He says. “I was worried about you Dayton. Don’t do that ever again.” He says and I nod.
“I can take care of myself.” I say.
“Yeah but even people that have it all under control—bad things happen to them. I don’t want it to happen to you.” He says and I blush. Hope he didn’t see that.
“Thanks for caring Stiles.” I say and give him a kiss on his forehead. I am trying to not act uncomfortable or weird okay?
He drops me off and we say our goodbyes.
My days are becoming to be more and more eventful. I don’t know whether I should like it or fear it… I guess we will see.
