Pick Up






After that whole disaster at lunch. Juliet got a text from her mom saying she needed to work tonight. Low in staff. As always. She slaps her hands to her side, already dreading the shift

"You're a terrible bowler! Why did you lie?" Juliet said to Scott.

"I know! I'm such an idiot." well the things you do for love, Scott. The things you do and say.

"God, it was like watching a car wreck. I mean, first, it turned into a whole group date thing. And then out of nowhere comes that phrase."

"Hang out."

"You don't hang out with hot girls, okay? It's like death. Once it's hanging out, you might as well be her gay best friend. You and Danny can start hanging out."

"How is this happening? I either killed a guy or I didn't."

"I don't think Danny likes me very much." Stiles told himself.

"Scott, I don't think you killed the guy. I would've smelled blood on you." Juliet leans against him, wrapped her arm around his shoulders.

"I ask Allison on a date and now we're hanging out."

"Am I not attractive to gay guys?" She looked at her phone. Shes going to be late.

"I make first line, and the team captain wants to destroy me, and now..." Scott looked at his phone. "Now I'm gonna be late for work."

"Wait guys! You didn't..." Stiles calls them back but the twins raced outside. Juliet skated her way to the hospital. She stopped at a red light and the same black car rolled down his window.

"I have you my number for a reason." Juliet tried not to show her smile. Don't show your smile now! Don't be obvious.

"Are you following me?" She squinted at him as she made to his car.

"I'm not." He smirked. "Heading to the hospital?"

"How do you know?" He looked at her and he looked at the scrubs. "Right."

"Come on." He opened the door and she went in. The ride was silent like last time. "A doctor, that's what you want to be?"

"I just need money. Helping out my mom out with the bills, just want some weight off her shoulders." They made it to the hospital. "Thank you, Derek, I don't know what to say."

"You like pizza?" He asked and she thought about it, should she go for it? She nodded. "How about tonight?"

"I get out at 6. Pick me up here." He nodded and drove off. Juliet walked into the hospital with a bright smile.

"Someone is happy." Her mom said as she gave her a paper to start her shift for the night.

"I'm going somewhere tonight. I don't know when I'm coming back home." Juliet started to blush.

"With a boy?" She leans in, chin on her hands. "Whats his name? Where are you going?"

"It is a boy, who has been driving me to school and now work. and we are going to go eat pizza, and his name is Derek." Melissa smiled as she saw her daughters face lit up as she spoke of this Derek guy. Honestly she doesn't look like this, besides talking about Stiles. She always knew and liked the way she fell for the childhood friend. Melissa always wanted Juliet to end up with Stiles but sometimes its not meant to be. Or maybe, they will down the road.

"It's fine. Now go to work." Juliet had made it throughout the day. She changed into her normal clothes and waited outside for Derek. His car was already there. She walked up to him and got in.

"Hey!" She said as she tucks her hair back behind her ear.

"Hi. Ready?" Juliet nods and Derek drove away from the hospital. They kept talking about her interest and how she liked music, playing some of her songs on her phone. "I'm gonna put some gas on the car."

"Yeah, no worries." They stopped at a gas station. Juliets phone dinged, she got a text from Scott.

Scott: Where are you?

Juliet: Hmm with Derek, why?

Scott: it's Derek! Derek attacked the driver!

Juliet turned off her phone, she didn't want to believe it was him. It was going all nice. She turns her head and gets out.

"Derek?" She whispers. He stood by her. He was concerned, the tone of her voice threw him off. What was wrong? "Did you kill the bus driver?"

"What? No. Why would I?" He looks down at her. He tales her hand. "Scott?"

"Is it that obvious? It's stupid I know. I mean he threw you in jail, and -" He stops her as two cars pull up from the front and back of Derek's car.

"Stay in the car." Derek told her, opening the door and closing it behind her. Juliet was getting scared. She didn't help but listen to the conversation. It was like hours. Nobody talked until now. When she saw the man, it was Allison's father. Shit.

"Nice ride. Black car, though. Very hard to keep clean. I would definitely suggest a little more maintenance." Mr. Argent came closer to the car. Juliet hid by pulling her jacket to her face. If they knew she was with Derek, they will know about her and will kill her. "If you have something this nice, you want to take care of it, right?" Then he was cleaning the front car window. "Personally, I'm very protective of the things I love. But that's something I learned from my family. And you don't have much of that these days. Do you?"

"Don't." She whispered to her and possibly let Derek hear. Derek tensed up a but, he did hear her. Derek didn't want to be in any trouble. If Argent knew she was a Hybrid,l because of him, he will not live. Again, she was innocent, she doesn't deserve to be pulled into these things.

"There we go. You can actually look through your windshield now. See how that makes everything so much clearer?" Mr. Argent then walked away.

"You forgot to check the oil." Derek said. What is this man doing? Juliets eyes widen. She was so done! Shes going to get killed!

"Check the man's oil." Juliet saw the man walking straight to her window. The man broke the passenger window. She covered herself from the broken glads and let out a squeal.

"Looks good to me." When she looked up the cars are gone. She opened the door and get out. Derek immediately held her close.

"Are you okay?" He holds on to her, catching her fall. He looks at her, she had a cut on her face, now healing before his eyes.

"I'm fine." She sighed. "I want to go home." He nodded. They drove back to her house without a word being said.

"I didn't know that was going to happen." Derek said as he pulled up in her driveway.

"It's okay." She gave him a half smile, looking down at her hands on her lap.

"Can I make it up to you?"

"Only if we aren't being followed." He chuckles. "But yes, you can." She got out and he followed. "You don't have to walk me to my door, right."

"I want to see you get home safely." She blushed. What should she do? she have no clue.

"Thanks for this hell of a night." She laughed.

"You need a ride tomorrow?"

"I'll like that." She opened the door. "7 o'clock. Don't forget."

"I won't." She closed the door and went to her room. Juliet took a shower and went to sleep.



Stiles and Scott found out the driver died. They raced home to tell Juliet what had happened. Scott and Stiles went to Juliet's room. She's sleeping.

"Wake her up!" Stiles told Scott, slapping his arm.

"You wake her up!" Its a nightmare to wake her. Nobody is allowed to do it. It like a death wish. When she was human, but now? It could be worse.

"You're her brother!" Scott sighed and went to her side of the bed. He shook her gently. He prayed for her not to attack him.

"Juliet, hey Juliet. Wake up." She opened her eyes and literally fall out of bed screaming. "It's me! Scott and Stiles!" He shouts, trying to stop her from going at them.

"We need to tell you something." Stiles told her and helped her up.

"Are you insane?!" She pushes the two off of her. Juliet rubbed her eyes. "What is it? What's so important for you to wake me up!"

"He's dead."

"Who?" Juliet shook her head, what were they talking about? She looked at Stiles.

"The driver, they said he succumbed to his wounds." Her eyes widen. After that, Scott had ran out of the house. Derek did this and he wanted to stop him. He wanted Derek to stay away from Juliet.




Juliet went after Scott but Stiles stopped her, holding her back.

"Where's he going?" She asked him.

"Derek. He thinks he killed him." juliet frowns. There's no way he did. She sat down on her bed and sighed in disbelief. "So you and Derek?" Stiles cracks. Juliets head snaps at him.

"What? No. Theres nothing between us." She said to him. No matter how much she loves Stiles, she wanted to wait for him but she didn't want to be the second choice or even the one he never wanted. She looked at him. "Can you stay?"

"Um, sure." They both lay down on her bed. Stiles snd Juliet stared at the ceiling, legs crossed, hands brushed together, just inches apart of each other. "Jul, can I ask you something? It's important." He turns his head to her.

"Why would Derek do that?" He stays quiet as she slips out the question. "He was so sweet to me tonight."

"I wish i knew. Just go to sleep okay." Juliet turned over and fell asleep.

Stiles laid down and looked at the ceiling again. She didn't answer his question. Stiles got up and took off his shoes. He was going to stay. She wanted him to and he will. Just when he went back to her bed, he tripped on something, a journal. Should he open it? One page won't hurt, right. He skipped through it and there's a lot of writing. he stopped at a page.

He likes her, not me. Should I give up? But she doesn't know him. I like him. I don't know if I should tell him. I'm scared.

He closed the book and went to lie on her bed. It couldn't be Derek. She just met him. Cant be the Hastings. Who could it be? Was it him? Did Stiles take the whole Lydia crush too far?
