Sterek - Last Breath [COMPLETED]

16~Detention

Monday
Back to school, also the worst days of the week.

"You ready to go?" Derek asked

"Yeah, I guess" Cora said as she walked down the stairs head hung low

"What's wrong?" Derek asked

"When can we see Luca? You said last time just a little longer, it's been a long time" Cora asked sitting on the bottom step

"I don't know when we get to see him, but look what if we go to the hospital after school and I'll see what I can do?"

"Yay, I love you" She squealed throwing her arms around Derek's neck then skipping out the door to the car

*****

"How'd you get all those scars Hale" a guy in the locker room said, it was currently last lesson and Derek was changing, he usually try's to ignore all the boys "Your Daddy beat you did he?" all the boys in the locker room laughed at that

"Shut up" Derek gritted throwing his lacrosse stick in his locker

"Sorry I didn't catch that, what'd you say?" the boy asked whilst laughing

"I said shut your selfish prick of a mouth" Derek said as he turned around, he didn't get to see much of the boy before a fist came in contact with his jaw, he lost his balance slightly but stood straight back up and wiped away the blood from his lip with the back of his hand "You seriously wanna do this?" the boy nodded, Derek muttered a fine before he punched the boy and pushed him into the lockers behind him, his friends soon jamp in and Derek moved his way around them grabbing one of their arms flinging him in a circle before kicking him in the back causing him to fall over. The boy he pushed into the locker got another swing on him whilst he wasn't looking causing Derek too fall to his knees, even though it was just for a second that's all the boy needed as he kicked Derek in the chin making him fall backwards "Ughhh" Derek groaned

"I think you should learn to keep your mouth shut" he said before getting gown to Derek's level and punching him

"WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?" a voice erupted causing the boy to leave Derek alone, once the boy got off him he stumbled to his feet and wiped the blood that was dripping from his nose. When Derek looked up he saw everyone had their heads now not daring to look at the person in front of them; Coach. "I said; What. The. Hell. Is. Happening?"

"Nothing coach, just a misunderstanding" Derek spoke up

"Misunderstanding my ass, you and you" Coach said pointing at Derek and the boy next to him "My office now" he walked off as the two followed behind him "WHAT THE HELL" he yelled slamming the door to his office as Derek and the boy sat down "Do either of you wanna fess up to what happened?"

"It was me, I threw the first punch" the boy beside him confessed before Derek even got to think about what he'd say "If anyone's to blame it's me"

"Derek, is this true?" Coach asked Derek

"I might have thrown a punch or two" Derek fessed up

"Okay, detention after school, two hours" Coach said standing up walking over to open the door

"Coach I can't" Derek said

"Go!!" Coach said, the boy walked out of the office back into the changing room

"Coach I can't stay after school, I have something important to do"

"You should have thought of that before" he said, Derek huffed and walked back into the locker room to see it now empty except for the boy who was stuffing all his things in his bag

"I wouldn't be in this mess if it weren't for you" Derek said slipping on his shoes

"Hey I fessed up, there was no reason for you to too" the boy said

"You want me to thank you" Derek gritted his teeth, the boy chuckled slightly

"I'm Issac by the way" Issac introduced himself "That was a pretty nice right hook you got"

"Yeah well it came in handy" Derek muttered

"You mean with your dad" Issac said putting on his hoodie

"What's it to you" Derek said "You don't know me, I don't know you, let's just stay away from each other"

"That's gonna be difficult hence the whole detention thing" Derek didn't get to reply before the locker room door slammed open and Stiles came rushing in

"Derek, you okay? I heard from some of the guys that you got in a fight" Stiles asked

"Yeah I'm fine, but can I ask you a huge favour?"

"Sure, whatever you need" Stiles replied

"Do you mind taking Cora to the hospital, I was supposed to take her but this dickhead" Derek gestured to Issac "I got detention. She just want's to see Luca, that's all"

"Yeah, sure. Now you sure your fine?" Stiles asked

"I'm perfectly fine, now go I don't want Cora to be standing around on her own" Derek said, Stiles muttered a fine before heading out

"Dude, I'm sorry" Issac said

"For what?" Derek asked

"Everything, I know what it's like to have an abusive father" Derek suddenly saw through all the tough, emotionless boy and saw Issac as just a boy who was afraid, and in pain emotionally

"When did it start?" Derek asked

"After my mum died, I was 11 at the time. Then after my brother Camden got killed it only got worse, what about you?"

"I was 10" Derek said

"Stop chatting and get to detention" Coach said coming out of his office, Derek and Stiles collected all their stuff and scrambled out the locker room towards the library.
