Chapter 02
Stiles's Pov
Pain and sadness was all I could feel at the moment.
Pain from everything that happened yesterday.
Sadness because tear streaks were planted all over my face from yesterday. My eyes were still red and my cheeks were puffy.
It was the next day, I'm not sure what time it is. Either it was morning or afternoon, I'm not sure, and I'm honestly not sure I even care.
I just wanted to stay in bed till the day I die. I didn't want to leave. I just wanted to stay in bed all day and forget about everything else.
However, I doubt that was possible.
Why?
Because my dad decided to knock on my door.
"Stiles, buddy, you can't hide in your room forever. You have to come out at some point and talk to me" Dad said from outside.
Oh, how I wish that was true, I honestly wanted nothing more than to hide in my room all day.
You know that feeling when you wanna hide away from everything and everyone and not worry about anything. Well, that's how I'm feeling.
"I don't know if I can get you to open the door. But you should know that your friends are coming over soon" Dad said.
Friends...
What friends?
As far as I'm concerned I don't have any friends.
I don't have any friends let alone a best friend.
Hell, I don't even have a boyfriend anymore. Last I checked I got dumped yesterday.
So, who the hell is coming to see me?
"They're gonna come over in a few minutes. If they can't get you to open the door, I'm going to have to get in myself. And you and I both know that I hate doing that" Dad said.
Of course he did. I knew my old man very well.
"Look, son, please just don't isolate yourself from me or your friends. Just let them in and talk to them. And when you're ready, please talk to me. I'm worried about you. I just want to make sure you're ok" Dad softly explained.
Despite how I was feeling, I let a small smile appear on my face.
That's what I love about my dad.
He may not know what has happened that's got me feeling this way, but he's still there for me and would never leave my side when I need him the most.
I heard footsteps and that's when I knew that dad had left. Either to work or to just relax downstairs, I'm not sure.
Sighing, I made an attempt to try and get out of bed.
Keyword, try.
I seriously didn't want to nor did I feel like leaving my bed. I didn't have any energy left in me. All of that died down from yesterday.
In the end I just gave up and stayed in bed. Having no energy whatsoever to get up, let alone head downstairs to eat breakfast.
Might was well stay in here and wait for my guests to arrive.
A Few Minutes Later
My eyes fluttered open when I heard a soft knock at the door. Groaning, I buried my face into my pillow.
"Dad, go away! I want to be alone!" I yelled, though I'm sure it was muffled because of my face still in my pillow.
The knocking continue and it's fair to say I grew more and more annoyed because of it.
Why can't he understand that I'm not hungry and I wanna be alone?
"Dad! Please go away! I'm not hungry!" I yelled.
"While I'm flattered you called me dad, I already have a kid and it's not you" the familiar voice of Peter said.
I removed my face from the pillow and sat up from my bed, my eyes wide open.
I saw Peter, Theo, Liam, Isaac, Malia and Kira standing by my door.
Wait? How did they get in?
As if reading my mind, Malia held up the spare key to my room that was in her hand.
"Thank your dad for giving it to us" Malia said.
The others nodded before walking into my room, Kira closed the door behind her before making her way over to me.
Malia and Peter both sat down on my bed while the others sat down on the ground near my bed.
I sighed in annoyance, but that didn't stop the smile from appearing on my face.
"What are you guys doing here?" I asked.
"Isn't is obvious, we're here to check up on you" Isaac said, looking at me as if i'd grown two heads.
I chuckled at him and shook my head.
"Yeah, but why? Shouldn't you be with the pack at some meeting or whatever?" I asked.
"We left as soon as we woke up. Derek and Scott tried stopping us when they realized where we were going but we paid them no attention" Kira said.
"Yeah, you're more important than them" Malia said with a small smile on her face.
Peter nodded at what she said and gave me a quick pat on the shoulder.
A small smile managed to make its way onto my face.
Even after everything that went down yesterday they still find the time to come over and comfort me. They're here to make sure that I'm alright.
"Thanks, guys. You didn't have to do that" I said.
"We know we didn't, but it was our decision to come over" Theo said.
I don't know why, but I found myself giving him a faint smile and small nod.
Hey, I may not like the guy, but I'm grateful he still came over to check on me just like the others.
"You guys knew what was going to happen, didn't you?" I asked.
This made all of them glance at each other before looking back at me as they released small sighs.
"Yeah, we did" Kira said.
Malia nodded, a guilty look on her face, as she rubbed the back of her neck.
"We tried to stop them from doing it, but they refused to listen. Especially Derek and Scott. If anything they were the first ones to come up with the idea of kicking you out" Malia explained to me.
I frowned at that and tried to ignore the hurt I felt in my heart.
I'm honestly not sure why I'm shocked. Everything went down yesterday and it was nothing good.
I'm not surprised about this, at least not anymore, given what has happened and what I had to endure.
I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned around to see it was Isaac.
"I'm so sorry, Stiles. We tried the best that we could to stop them from kicking you out, but no matter what we said they still wouldn't change their mind" Isaac softly said.
"Yeah, Peter and Malia had a full on screaming fight with Derek and Scott just to get them to listen. But even that didn't work because they still went on with it" Liam said.
I sighed and looked down at my lap, refusing to look at them.
I felt my eyes beginning to water again and did my best to hold them back. The last thing I wanted to do was to cry in front of the only ones that were against me being kicked out of the pack.
I don't want them to see me as weak when Scott and Derek did.
An arm made its way around my shoulder. I looked up and saw Peter sitting next to me. I saw a little bit of guilt in his eyes as well as sadness. A faint smile made its way onto his face as he pulled me closer to his side.
"Don't worry, Stiles. We're here. You don't have to be afraid. We won't judge you" Peter softly said.
I honestly think that's the first time I've heard him speak with such genuineness.
I felt my bed shift a bit and turned around to see Malia sitting on the other side. Kira stood next to her as she reached over to place her hand on my shoulder.
Malia smiled softly at me and placed her hand on my knee and gave it a gentle pat.
"It's alright, Stiles. Let it all out" Malia softly said.
Following with what she said, I allowed myself to lean into Peter's touch and let my head fall on his shoulder.
Small tears streamed down my cheeks as I wrapped my arms around Peter and allowed myself to cry on his shoulder. At this rate, I don't think I could've continued holding back my tears.
I heard Peter release a sigh as he wrapped his arms around me, gently rubbing my back up and down, as a way to comfort me.
"It's alright. It's alright, let it out" Peter whispered.
That just made me cry even more, wanting to just let everything out right now while I had the chance.
Everything that happened yesterday really got to me. Everything that Scott said got to me. Everything that Derek said got to me. I tried to just shove what they said away, I tried to ignore them as best as I could and tried to pass it off as me being unaffected.
But the truth is, it really did affect me.
To just be betrayed by your friends, by your own best friend who you once considered your brother hurts. And to be betrayed by the person you loved the most breaks you more than anything.
I loved Derek for the past two years we were together. I loved him more than anything. I defended him against my dad when he was against us being together just because of the age difference.
Yet here I am, crying over him as well as Scott, because the ones that I trusted and loved the most turned against me and stabbed me in the back.
You know that quote, 'the saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies'.
Looks like it really was true.
Because I did experience betrayal. And it wasn't from my enemies.
It was from the ones I grew to trust and befriend. The ones that I loved more than anything. They were the ones to break me in the end and for that I will never, ever, forgive them.
Especially Scott and Derek.
I felt more arms wrap around me, causing me to snap out of my thoughts as I looked up. I saw that the others had huddled around us and joined in on the hug that Peter started.
A small yet grateful smile made it's way onto my face.
I may have been betrayed by my ex-best friend and my boyfriend, as well as my ex friends from the pack.
But at least I know I still have a few of my friends by my side. As well as creeper wolf.
And it feels good knowing that I still have a few people by my side.
