"You should stay away from me," Derek...

Aiden's POV I walk back inside and up to my room. Stiles runs after me. "What happened?" He asks, his heart pudding crazy fast. "Your best friend is am insensitive piece of shit! He thinks that I'll fall for him just because of the mark!" I yell. Lydia knocks lightly in the door. "Hey, my mom just called. Turns our they need me home for the night. I'll leave the ice cream. By Stiles." He smiles as he waves by to her. "Anyways, I'm surprised he said that. Don't hate me, but if that was what happened with Derek, what's to say it can't happen with Sc-" "That's not what happened with Derek. Were were already mates before he marked me, but I had an attraction to him. I had natural feelings for him that weren't caused by the mark." He lays down next to me in the bed, looking at ceiling. I remember when we were younger, we would do this when our parents would send us to our rooms. We knew that if we were with each other when on time out, it wouldn't be so bad. "As your brother, I'm supposed to be protective and make sure you don't get yourself into trouble. But if you have to, your more than welcome to attempt to kill Scott, but that's only attempt. I kind of need him. I would be like a line wolf even though I'm not a wolf." I laugh. "Thank you. If I were to ever go back with mom, would you be okay with it?" His expression looks sad now. "As much as I hate it, yes. You have to do what's best for you. Honestly, being in this town can't be the best for you at the moment. I would go with you, but I don't like the thought if leaving dad alone." "I love you Stiles. No matter what happened." ××××× Derek's POV Shariff answers the door and hesitantly let's me in. I hold out Aiden's sweater she was wearing. "She left it as my place." He takes it and sets it on the dining table. "I-I should go before-" "I know what happened. Scott marked her when he saved her," he says. I nod, looking down. "Are you sure there isn't something you can do to make her yours again?" Is he being serious right now? He hates me. "I might not like you, but I want my little girl to be happy. For some messed io reason, you do that for her." "There's nothing. She list her side of the bond when she was turned human. Mine just starting to disappear. I can feel her...heart break right now," I say. He sighs. "I would do anything to be with her again, even if it meant risking my life." "You really shouldn't be saying this to a shariff. Its still an illegal relationship." I take my keys out if my pocket again and make my way towards the door. Just as I'm about to leave, Stiles and Widen come running down the stairs. Him in a tiger onesie and her in a sloth one. She doesn't look happy, I can't feel she's not, but she forces a smile. Her eyes meet mine. I gesture for her to follow me outside. She looks at her dad for permission and he nods. We get outside and walks to my car. She looks up at me. Her heart is beating too fast. "My part of the bond is fading," I tell her. She blinks back tears. "Then its completely over?" I nod, taking her hand. "I love you." I can feel the self hate she feel for saying that. "I love you too." She let's out a sob. "I'm sorry if I came off as mad at you earlier cause I'm not. I'm mad at Scott, at the situation. You've always been mine, so I never thought about ever loosing you. I-I don't know how to deal with it." She steps closer to me. "Ice cream and The Kardashians helps a lot." I laugh and lean down to kiss her. She stops me. "Is this the last time you'll ever kiss me?" "Maybe." This time, she let's me. Its slow and passionate. Her hands run up my arms, landing in my hair. I crease her cheeks with my thumbs. Her lips taste like cotton candy. I pick her up and set her on the hood of the car. I grip her waist as she touches any part if me she can reach. I don't want to, but I pull back. She sighs, staying into my eyes. "Last time." ××××× A week later Aiden's POV I walk out of algebra class, adjusting my skirt. Seeing Derek again last week and getting to kiss him one last time gave me a sense of clarity I needed. I still miss him, but it's gotten better. Scott and I are surprisingly back to being friends. My feelings haven't become romantic, for that I'm grateful. The only thing is, Derek keeps popping up everywhere. Yesterday I was at a party with Lydia and the guys and was talking to Theo. I was happy to see him again and maybe we were standing very close. Then Derek had to come to discuss something with Scott and ruined it. Derek and Scott are very unfriendly, but can stand to be around each other without ripping each other to shreds. "Hey," Theo says, running up to me. I smile up at him and open my locker. "You look stunning as ever today." "Someone's sick," I say. He rolls his eyes. "Are you doing to the lacrosse game tonight?" "Maybe if you are," he says. I blush. "Can we call it a date if I get cotton candy ice cream for us after?" "Sure." Surprisingly, I'm happy he asked me out. Malia runs up to me and hugs me, pushing him to the side. She's been out of town with her dad since he's into hunting and goes out of town to do it. We met her when we were searching for the person who killed her sister and mom in a car reck in the woods a few years back. Now she's with us and seems to be doing better. "I'm nothing," Theo says with a chuckle. He winks at me and walks off. I grab my bag. "I'm not looking forward to this. I hate math," she says. I place my hand on her shoulder and give a smile. "Its not that bad. Lydia has notes if you need some extra help. You should take the class with me next summer to get it out of the way." Groaning, she walks into class. When I get outside I'm immediately hit by intense heat. The only reason I'm wearing this is to hide the bruises in my wrists from boxing. I don't want anyone thinking I'm being abused so it's better to cover them up. Someone taps my shoulder from behind. I turn around to see Derek. He smiles down at me. "What?" I ask. His brows free together. "What's wrong with you?" I glare. "Did I do something?" "Yeah, you keep popping up like a bad STD!" He smirks. You do me a favor. You stay away from me." Now he seeks surprised by my outburst. "Why are you so mad at me? Just a week ago you were heart broken that we couldn't be together." I cross my arms. "I'm trying to move on. Its not that easy when your ex keeps showing up everywhere." He sighs. "You're going out with Theo tonight huh?" I nod. "Yeah. So I ask of you nicely, please do not come to tonight game."
