Kelsey's POV

"Okay, so what happens to a person who has a near-death experience and comes out of it seeing things?" Scott asked the gang. We were all currently sat outside school at a picnic table; my brothers Scott and Stiles, along with Isaac, Lydia, Allison and I.

"And is unable to tell what's real or not?" Stiles said.

Sitting opposite me was Lydia, whom was beside Allison, and sitting next to her was Isaac. I was actually going to sit next to my boyfriend, but of course Allison sat her ass down first, not even bothering to move by the way. So, I sat next to Stiles instead, and he sat beside Scott. "And is being haunted by demonic visions of dead relatives?" Allison added.

"They're all locked up because they're insane." Isaac comically answers.

"Ha. Can you at least try to be helpful, please?" Stiles begs.

This is obviously much be frustrating for them all; not knowing what's happening to them. It's even frustrating me. "For half my childhood, I was locked in a freezer. So, being helpful is kind of a new thing for me." Isaac commented. Scott sighed, putting his head down on the table...yes, he's definitely frustrated.

"Hey, dude, are you still milking that?"

"Yeah, maybe I am still milking that." Isaac replied. I was about to step on Stiles foot because he was being an idjit, before the new girl I bumped into yesterday came to our table. "Hi. Sorry, I couldn't help overhearing what you guys were talking about." She started.

"And I think I actually might know what you're talking about. There's a Tibetan word for it. It's called 'Bardo'. It literally means 'in-between state'. The state between life and death." Huh, she seems to know more about this than we do. "And what do they call you?" Lydia asked a little rudely.

"Kira." Scott said, answering for the girl. Oh, of course...Kira, well, at least I knew it began with a 'k', so I didn't completely forget. Kira smiled and everyone turned their heads to Scotty. "She's in our History class." Oh, that's nice. "So are you talking Bardo in Tibetan Buddhism or Indian?" Lydia asked Kira as he played with her hair.

Huh, I like what Kira is wearing, maybe she'll let me borrow her clothes someday...she could be my new Allison. No wait, she won't be my new Allison, she'll be much better...she'll be herself, Kira. "Either, I guess."

I shuffled aside to make some room for Kira to sit down, which she done soon after. "But all the stuff you guys were just saying? All that happens in Bardo. There are different progressive states where you can have hallucinations. Some you see, some you just hear. And you can by visited by peaceful and wrathful deities." More hallucinations, oh that's just freaking great.

"Wrathful deities?" I repeated.

"And what are those?" Isaac asked Kira.

"Like demons." Demons, of course, why not, just when I thought this town couldn't get any worse. The Winchesters will definitely come here now.

"Demons." Stiles specified.

"Why not?" Well let's just hope that they're friendly demons, like in supernatural when Crowley was on human blood, or Meg when she looked after Castiel. "Wait, hold on, if there are different progressive states, then what's the last one?" Allison asked the new girl. "Death. You die." Kira replied simply. Death, well that's just fantastic.

***

Once school finished, I was going to ask Stiles if we could hang out so I could tell him about the kiss Jake and I shared and maybe he'd give me advice on what I should do, but he said that he already had plans with Scott to see Deaton about what's happening to them. Which left me in a bit of a pickle.

So I decided to take a walk to the park, try to take my mind of things since the walk through the woods earlier did nothing. Maybe it's because I bumped into Lydia and Allison there, or maybe it's because Jake and I literally just kissed. Ugh, why does everything have to be complicated.

Everything was going fine until Jake had to go and kiss me. And then I kissed him back, what the hell was I thinking? Oh right, I wasn't. But when we kissed, I don't know, I felt something. I can't describe it, but in the moment it felt right, and I can't believe I'm going to say this, but it felt good, really good.

I almost couldn't stop myself. I know, I'm a terrible person for saying that, but it could've just been a heat of the moment thing, right? I don't have feelings for Jake, I barely know the guy. Why does it feel like I'm trying to convince myself that, I shouldn't have to. I love Isaac, and only Isaac.

But what Jake said about Isaac, some of the things were true, and he did make some sort of sense, but just because he's right, doesn't mean I'm going to run into his arms or anything. It doesn't work like that. Honestly I really feel like nothing's working well for me lately, like this thing with Isaac and Allison, I said I could forget about it, but I can't.

I've tried so hard to, believe me I have, it's just every time I see them together, or if I look at either one of them...it makes me so angry to think what they could've done if Isaac didn't stop it. Yes, I know it was just a kiss to Isaac, but that's not what made me so angry. It's the fact that it probably meant so much more to her, to Allison.

To her "just a kiss" is playing in her head every night, making her smile while it replays in her mind like it just happened. To her, she and Isaac had something special, and she's not going to give up on that so easily. But now that Isaac apparently sorted things out with her the other day, she's just magically cool about everything like it never happened?

Right, so she just suddenly stopped having strong feelings for Isaac just like that? Feelings just don't go away over night. She has to be up to something, probably waiting for Isaac and I to have another bump in our relationship so she can swoop right in.

Wow, look at me complaining about Isaac when I did the exact same thing. I kissed Jake back when I shouldn't have, and I haven't told Isaac about it. But it's not that I'm not going to tell Isaac what happened, because I am...I just don't know what to say, or how I'm even going to bring the situation up.

Things between us could get even messier, and I don't know if I can handle anymore arguments. I just hate this, I hate lying. I need to talk to someone about this, someone who won't judge me or think that I'm messing Isaac around. But who else is there? With Derek and Peter awol.

Stiles and Scott visiting Deaton. I would go to Lydia, but she's probably with Allison, I'm definitely not going to her about this. Well, I guess I could always see Danny about my situation. I know I haven't seen him much lately because of everything going on, but there's no one else I'd rather go to. Besides, Danny is good at giving advice.

Fifteen minutes of walking, I soon found myself standing in front of the Mahealani's house, ringing the door bell. And not long after, the door opened to reveal Mrs Mahealani. "Oh, hello dear, I haven't seen you round here in in awhile." She smiled sweetly, moving aside so I could come in.

"Yeah, I've had a lot going on, but I'm here now." I replied. "I'm glad. Well, if you're looking for Danny he's just upstairs." Mama Mahealani told me while shutting the front door. Taking off my shoes, I thanked Danny's mom before running upstairs to Danny's room. I was about to open his bedroom door when I heard two voices speaking.

"Look I just think you need to ask him man, what's the worst that can happen?" The oddly familiar voice had spoke. Where have I heard that voice before? I swear I've heard it before, I know I have...I just don't know where. Maybe if I peak through the door I'll see who Danny is speaking to.

"Yeah you're right, I'll ask him tomorrow, see what he says." Danny replied to the voice. With curiosity taking over me, I slowly pushed the door a little so I can get a better look at the mysterious person. But nothing. I couldn't see anyone. Jesus, what am I doing?

Why the hell am I hiding behind Danny's door spying when I came here to see Danny anyway? Besides, Mrs Mahealani would've said if Danny had someone else in his room, well, unless she forgot. Or maybe she doesn't know Danny has someone over because the guy snuck through Danny's window. Have I come at a bad time?

Maybe I should've called first before coming round, maybe that way I wouldn't have felt like such a creeper. "Dude, I think someone is listening, I can see their shadow." And with that said, my heart almost skipped a beat. I definitely should've called before coming over. Turning back round towards the stairs, I was about to walk down them before I heard the door creaked opened wider.

"Oh, hey Kelsey." Oh god, how I'm I supposed to explain that I was listening in to his conversation? Well, it's not like I heard a lot, I don't even know what they were talking about.

Twisting my body back round again, I was faced by Danny...but no one else? Wait so who was the mysterious guy Danny was talking to? And where did he go? He couldn't have gone far in a matter of seconds.

"Why are you here?" Jackson asked me in a rude tone.

"Oh I just wanted to talk to Danny about something, but it doesn't matter, I can see that you're busy, so I'll come back later, or I'll just see you at school tomorrow." I said while looking at Danny before swirling around to leave the room once again. "No it's fine Kelsey, stay, I'm sure Jackson won't mind finishing the skype call a little early, right Jackson?" Danny spoke.

"Dude we haven't spoke about me yet, and I'm pretty sure you need the rest of my advice for tomorrow." Jackson mentioned to his friend. Hmm, I wonder what he and Danny were speaking about before I came in? And has Danny always spoke to Jackson on Skype, or is it a new thing? Does Lydia still speaks to Jackson aswell? After all, they were in love. Not that it lasted long, Lydia's already moved on.

Wait a minute, did Jackson just say Danny needs his advice? I snorted at the thought. "Since when do you give people advice?" I asked Jackson while sitting myself down on Danny's bed. "Since always, and if you must know, I'm great at giving advice." Jackson answered.

I glanced over at Danny who nodded his head a little, and he was about to say something when his mom called him from the bottom of the stairs. "Uh do you mind if I just check what mom wants, I wont be long." Danny reassured me before leaving his room.

"So, how's the London life treating you? Do you like it?" I asked Jackson, while he rolled his eyes. "Great, always raining, and not really." Jackson replied in annoyance. Well, it sure sounds like he has been having a lot of fun. "Oh right." Was all I could say back.

"What about you, how's California? And are you still related to that dork of a brother?" Jackson spoke again, and this time he laughed a little. "It hasn't really changed much since you left, and yes I am." I answered. Jackson laughed, and was going to open his mouth to speak again before Danny came back. Sorry guys, but mom wants me to help her with her emails and a few other bits now, do you mind waiting a little longer?" Danny asked us.

"No it's alright." I told him before he ran back downstairs to help his mom again. There was a moment of silence before Jackson decided to open his mouth and speak up. "You still with Lahey? I heard you two had a fight or something." Jackson broached. "What, who told you that?" I ask him immediately.

"So it is true then. What did you do to Allison? Was there a cat fight?" He asked as he sat closer to the screen, completely ignoring my question. "I didn't do anything." Jackson chuckled at my answer in disbelief. "But she slept with your boyfriend? Are you not angry?" He quizzed.

"Isaac didn't sleep with her, they just kissed. And yeah, I would say I'm angry." I held myself back from the fire boiling in the pit of my stomach from raising, calmly taking a deep breath in and out. "Right, so why did they kiss?" Jesus, why is Jackson so interested about my relationship with Isaac and our issues? What else has Danny been telling him about?

"I don't know." I said abruptly. "Did you forgive him?" He hesitated. Did I forgive him? That's a good question, because I did tell Isaac that I wanted to forget all about it and put it in the past. Well, that's what I said, but saying it is much easier than actually doing it. "After awhile, yes."

I guess deep down there is apart of me that does forgive Isaac for his hurtful actions, as I done the exact same thing to him not long ago. But another part of me is saying to let him go, because holding onto him is much more painful than I can handle. I just don't know what to do anymore. "And you're just cool with it now?"

"No. God, you sound just like Jake."

Everything was so messed up, it still is. I let Isaac back into my heart because I love him and I missed him, I just wanted the all the arguments and drama to stop. But maybe Jake was right about me taking Isaac back, I shouldn't have, at least not so quickly. Nothing was really resolved, and I guess that's partly my fault for sleeping with Isaac when I should've told him how I felt. "Jake who?" Jackson asked, causing a me to sigh deeply.

This is going nowhere, I don't even know why I'm still taking to Jackson, especially about this. "It doesn't matter, can we stop talking about this now? Let's talk about you, how's London?" I asked suddenly, attempting to throw the subject off me. "You already asked me that earlier, besides, I'm more interested to know about Jake and why you're changing the subject from him." Jackson insisted.

"There's nothing to know Jackson, he's just a guy that I go to school with, that's it." I told him a little too quickly. "Okay, so why are you getting all defensive if he's 'just a guy you go to school with', did something happen?" After he said those three final words, I forced myself to look anywhere but Danny's laptop screen, but that just made things obvious.

"It did, didn't it?"

I looked at Jackson with guilt. "He kissed me..."

"And let me guess, you kissed him back?" I don't even know why Jackson bothered to ask for the answer when he already knew twist I was going to say. "I was so angry at Isaac and Allison, I just couldn't stop thinking about them, especially Allison, and then Jake came along and calmed me down, then it just happened."

"Does Isaac know about the kiss?"

I shook my head in response. "No I haven't told him."

"Are you going to?" He asked.

"Honestly Jackson, I don't know. I mean I want to tell Isaac, I really do, but at the same time I don't. It could make things worse if I do, and I can't do that, not after everything we've gone through...everything that's happened. What about you, what do you think, should I tell him?"

I know, I'm asking Jackson of all people for advice, even though it was Danny I came here to talk to. Yes, we haven't always seen eye to eye and we're not exactly friends, but I know Jackson will tell me what I need to know, even if it's the harsh truth.

But I'd rather hear that than him telling me what I want to hear. "Sounds like you're stuck in zugzwang, but yeah, I think you should tell him, even if it does make things worse. Because if you don't, the truth will come out eventually, and I'm not sure you want Isaac to find out like that."

"No of course I don't. It's just, if I tell him, we might break up." Jackson sighed, I could tell he was getting impatient. "Honestly Kelsey, it seems like you could use a break from all the drama, just be your own person for once." He advised before continuing to speak. "You know, I might be coming to visit Danny soon, and we're going to be staying at his cabin that's just out of town, so if you wanted, you could join us?" He smiled.

Jackson's coming back to Beacon Hills? Wait, why would Jackson invite me to some camping trip with him and Danny? I thought he and I were friends? Well, whether we're friends or not, I don't think it's a good idea I leave with everything going on. I mean, what if Scott and Stiles need me?

There could be something really bad happening to them. No. As much as getting away from drama sounds, I can't leave to go to some trip. I have to stay. "As nice as that sounds Jackson, I'm not sure I can come, but thanks for asking though." I smile lightly before the bedroom door opened, revealing Danny.

"Did I just hear you thank Jackson for something? Wow, what did I miss?" Danny laughed as he plumped himself down beside me. Danny looked at me before turning to his laptop screen. "I invited Kelsey to stay with us when I come to visit." He answered.

Danny's eyes widened before squealing with exciting. "Oh that's a great idea, I don't know why I didn't think of that? Kelsey you have to come, it'll only be for a few days, and you don't need to worry about food or no service, because I already have that under control."

"I don't know." I said distantly.

Danny grabbed my hands in his, gaining my full attention. "Oh come on Kelsey, getting away from this place is the best thing for you right now. You don't always have to put other people first, think about yourself for once, be selfish and live a little." I guess Danny's right, I don't always have to put others first. I should be selfish for once. But I'm not ready to leave town just yet, my brothers need me.

"Okay alright, I'll think about it. Just give me some time." I replied as Danny released my hands to clap his own, a proud smile playing on his lips. "Great, well tell me when you make up your mind. Oh, and now that everyone has got there advice, I better get going. I'll speak to you tomorrow Danny, bye Kelsey." Jackson said in a hurry.

"Bye Jackson." I said before he went off camera.

_______________________________________________________________

Hey everyone!! It's been a very long time since I published anything, my apologies. But now that my mum is feeling way much better now, I felt it was time I got back into writing. So, over the last few months I have been gathering ideas for this book and I honestly can wait to play around with some them. Just you wait for what I have in store for you all ;)

On other notes, yes, I have decided to bring back the gorgeous Jackson Whittemore for some chapters. I have always wanted Jackson to return in the TV show, but as it hasn't happened, so I thought why not bring him back in my books. What do you think about that?

Also, do you think Kelsey will have the guts to tell Isaac the truth about how she feels as well as confessing about her kiss with Jake? Or will she chicken out? And what about Isaac, how do you think he'll react if she tells him? Do you think they will break up for good?
