[04] Protective like a brother
Kelsey's POV
"Okay everyone, pack up your things and make sure your tables are clean." My teacher says as the bell goes off. Thank god it's lunch time, my stomach was rumbling all lesson long and Erica couldn't stop giggling at me.
I like Erica, she may be a little snappy and bitchy at times, but she does know how to make you laugh. Honestly, I've always wanted a sister, and now I have one.
Once Erica and I cleared our table, we make our exit out the door, walking straight to the cafeteria where Isaac was sitting at a table waiting for us. He looks at us with a smile. "How was art?" He asked.
"It was fun." I reply.
"I personally enjoyed listening to Kelsey's stomach rumbling." Erica laughed as we sat down. "That wasn't funny, I was hungry." I playfully slap her arm. "How were your lessons?" I ask Isaac.
"Boring as usual." He starts, then looks behind me. "I think Stiles and your brother are wondering why you're sitting with us." Isaac says, looking at the table where Scott and Stiles are sitting, talking about something while starring at me. Oh great. How am I supposed to explain this as well as not being at home.
"Maybe I should go over there, talk to them?"
"What are you going to say?" Erica asks.
"I don't know, I'll be back in a minute." I tell them before getting out my seat and walking over to Scott and Stiles, who were looking at me as if they were disappointed. I can't wait to get lectured. Play it cool Kelsey. "Hey brothers, whatcha doing?"
"Where were you yesterday? You were gone all day." Scott asks concerned, doing that eyebrow thing of his when he's about to get angry. Okay, maybe this isn't going to work out so well. Scott will know I'm lying. I'll just have to stay calm and keep my heart rate from going up.
"I was at a friends house, we had a sleepover." I say slowly. Well, it is true. I did basically have a sleepover at Derek's, and he is my friend.
"What about when we got Isaac out the station, you left with Derek. Plus I had to take the blame for the knocked-out hunter, do you know how hard it was to get out of being grounded?" Stiles complains.
"Derek dropped me off at my friends house."
"What friend?" Scott asks curiously.
Oh god, who do I say. If I say someone they know, they'll ask them if I did have a sleepover with them. Then I'll be in big trouble. "Uh, Debbie, you don't know her." Debbie is the first name that came to my mind, I was thinking of a name beginning with D because Derek's name begins with D, and then it just came out.
"Why are you hanging out with them?" Stiles asks, looking at Erica and Isaac who are watching me courteously, probably listening to our conversation.
"They're my friends." I reply.
"They're werewolves." Scott states the obvious.
"So are you, Scott." I roll my eyes before leaving the table and walking towards Erica and Isaac. Just as I sit down, my phone vibrates against my boob. Yes my phone is in my bra, I have a perfectly good reason for that, which is because I don't have any pockets for my phone to go in. And I'm not going to put my phone in my bag because it could get stolen. Plus it's easier to get your phone from your bra.
Isaac looks at me carefully as I take my phone out my bra, well that doesn't surprise me. He's such a pervert, but I love him. I mean love as friends, not as in the other way because that's just weird. I open up the text, which reads:
From: Derek
Come outside, we're going ahead with the plan.
I guess we're going ahead with the Boyd thing today. I didn't know when Derek planed to give Boyd the choice but it doesn't really matter I suppose. As I'm about to stick my my phone back in my bra, I receive another text from Derek.
From: Derek
And get me a snack please, I'm hungry :)
Now that's the sort of text you wouldn't expect from Derek. But I don't mind, it's funny. Plus, he added a smily at the end, which means he's in a good mood. Getting up from the table, I tell Erica and Isaac it's time to go. Before leaving, I grab an apple then make my way out the exit . Derek didn't say what snack he had in mind, so I'll just give him the healthy option. Apples are nice anyway, well I think so. Apples are my favourite fruit, so if Derek doesn't like it, I'll have it.
***
So me, Derek and Isaac are waiting for Erica to come back. Derek said she's making sure Stiles doesn't get in the way of his plans with Boyd, which I'm assuming means Erica is going to tie him up to a pole or knock him out, something like that. Derek is currently talking to Boyd on the ice rink, about the bite and stuff before he bites him, that is if Boyd wants the bite. Which leaves me and Isaac sitting on the chairs.
Scott texted me a few times saying I should stay away from Erica and Isaac because they're going to use me or something so Derek can make me into one of his betas. Which I know isn't true, because Derek wouldn't turn me, unless I asked. I don't know what Scott has against Derek. But it's getting really old and pathetic.
Derek comes back form Boyd. "It's done. But Scott's going to come looking for him, we have to be prepared." Derek says, once Erica comes sitting beside me.
"Be prepared for want?" I ask.
"Scott might get into little fight. I don't want you to be there because you might stand in the way of Scott." A fight? I don't want Scott to get hurt, but I guess he has werewolf healing power. "But he'll heal, won't he?"
"Yes. But if I fight him, he won't heal as quickly." That's got to do with the whole Derek being a Alpha thing. Maybe I'll leave before Derek fights him, that way I won't feel guilty or responsible.
"Maybe I can convince Scott to leave before you get to the fighting stage.
"Okay, fine. But don't get involved with the fighting." Derek tells me. Aw Derek's being protective like a brother. One day I'll have to pay Derek back with all the kindness he's gave me. I can't thank Derek enough.
About and hour-ish later, Scott arrives and we (we meaning myself, Derek, Erica and Isaac) are hiding until Derek wants to show himself.
I hear a faint sound of Scott calling Boyd, but Boyd doesn't answer. He just continues to drive his zamboni. "C'mon Boyd, please." Scott says a little louder. "Did Derek tell you everything, and I don't just mean going out of control on the full moon, I mean everything."
Boyd turns off the zamboni engine. "He told me about the hunters."
"And that's not enough for you to say no?"
"I just not want to eat lunch alone everyday." If I knew Boyd was lonely, I would've been his friend. I thought he just chose to sit alone because he wanted to. Now I feel really bad. "If you're looking for friends, you could do a lot better than Derek." Harsh.
Now it's time to show ourselves. Erica tells me to follow her as we make our way to the ice. If I slip, I'm using Erica as support. Walking onto the ice, I stand in between Erica and Isaac.
"That really hurt Scott." Derek starts. "I mean if you're going to review me, at least take a concenses." Okay Scott is looking right at me, he looks shocked and now I feel some guilt building up in my stomach.
"Erica, how's your life been for you since we met?" Derek says, still looking at Scott.
"Hmm, in a word, transformative." Erica smirks then her fangs grow as she growls.
"Isaac?"
"Well I'm a little bummed about being a fugitive, but other than that, I'm great." Isaac says before looking at me. Why is he looking at me? "What?" I ask Isaac.
"You're stepping on my foot."
I look down and see my foot on top of Isaac's. "Oh." I say, removing my foot.
"Okay, hold on, this isn't exactly a fair fright." Scott says to Derek. "Then go home Scott." Derek smirks. "Scott just leave, you'll get hurt. Don't get into a fight, Boyd can make his own decisions." I tell my brother, but he ignores me. "Y'know, you should listen to your sister more often, but I guess you're not smart enough to." Derek looks at Erica and Isaac, signalizing them to take the first move.
Scott punches the ice before shifting into his werewolf form before looking up. "I meant fair for them." Scott roars. Oh shit.
Erica and Isaac run towards my brother with their claws and teeth showing.
"You okay?" Derek asks me. I turn away to face my attention to Derek. "Yeah, just a little anxious." I say before hearing a loud smashing sound. It's Isaac. Scott threw him into the glass window that's bordering round the ice rink.
Isaac manages to get up from the ice and walks towards my brother, throwing a punch before Erica climbs on Scott's back, trying to pull him down. Scott pushes Erica off, knocking her against the zamboni. Ouch, that's gotta hurt.
More kicks and punches are made and I'm seriously getting bored. They've been fighting for ages, what are they even fighting about again?
Scott attacks Isaac in the stomach before Isaac decides to give up. Erica and Isaac lay helplessly on the floor. "Don't you get it, he's not doing this for you, he's just adding to his own power okay, it's all about him." Scott breaths. "He makes you feel like he's giving you some sort of gift, when all he's done is turn you into a bunch of guard dogs." Scott finishes as he slides Erica and Isaac's exhausted bodies across the ice towards Derek and I.
Because I'm legs are aching from standing up too long, I decide to sit down next to the exhausted bodies that are my friends. "You okay?" I ask them. Erica nods her head and Isaac replies with "I am now." As he looks at my slightly revealing beasts. Oh my god, seriously.
"If I weren't so lazy, I'd punch you in the face right now." Isaac lifts his hands up to his head as if he surrenders. Good choice Lahey, good choice.
I hear Derek's shoes tap on the ice, which makes me look towards him. "It's true, it is about power." Derek growls, moving closer to Scott. Okay Derek said Scott will still heal if he beats him up but it will be a slower process. So there's no need to worry right? If I get in the middle of this fight, I could get hurt. Turning my head away, I try to block out the moans from my brother.
After the horrible noises of my brother and friend beating each other, it gets quieter. I turn back round to see Scott lying on the floor with blood around his mouth, Derek has his foot on my brothers neck.
"Derek, please." I call, making him walk towards me and his betas.
I help Erica up and Isaac helps himself. Derek waits for Boyd to finish saying something to Scott before walking out to the exit. I stop and turn round to my brother as he starts to say something. "You just choose his side? I'm your brother, Kelsey." Scott says, as he struggles to get himself up.
"You know he's just using you as leverage to get to me, he isn't your friend. He's ruined my life and now he's going to ruin yours, just stay away from him, please." A single tear escapes my eye as he continues to make me feel like even more guilty than I already do.
I feel a warm hand grab my shoulder. "Let's go." Derek says softly. I follow Derek to the car, ignoring my brother calling me.
Have I made the wrong decision to trust Derek? Is Scott right about Derek using me as leverage? Why does Scott hate Derek so much, Derek didn't ruin his life. It was Peter who bit Scott, not Derek. Is Scott overreacting? I'm so confused. I don't know who to trust anymore. Derek's been so kind and funny, he gives me a room for me to call my own when I need it, he let's me sit in the passenger seat of his sexy car, he let's me eat his coco pops, Derek picks me up and drops me off from school. Derek's been nothing but nice to me. But Scott is my brother and I can't just ignore him every time he comes to sight. I'll have to talk things through will him. Come to an understanding. But not tonight, it's too soon.

Another chapter finished, WOOOO!
I know this chapter was basically Scott and Derek fighting, but there will be more Isaac and Kelsey scenes coming, I promise ;)
Tell me what you think about the whole Kelsey sticking by Derek's side. Do you think Derek is using Kelsey like Scott think he is? Is Scott overreacting about Derek? Do you think Kelsey and Scott will work through their problems and forgive each other?
