Stiles' POV

After hearing the mega roar that came from my best friend, Lydia and I finally made our way to the car crush where we found Scott, Kelsey, and Malia back in her human form. Huh, it worked, Scott actually did it. I'm so proud of him. Not long after, Isaac and Allison appeared. "Kelsey, I heard you scream? Are you okay?" A worried Isaac asked Kelsey, immediately rushing over to her side.

Kelsey didn't say anything back to Isaac, instead she just jerked herself away from him. Which is when I noticed the slight smear of blood on her face and her clutching her shoulder. What happened to her? Did she fall over or something? I was about to help Kelsey to her feet when Lydia opened her mouth. "I think we should take Malia to your dad."

"Uh yeah, he'll know what to do." I replied, not really paying much attention, my mind is taking me elsewhere. Part of me is wondering what's going on between Kelsey and Isaac, and the other is wondering if I'll ever be able to read again without having a panic attack. I swear I'm going out of my freaking mind. I've literally tried everything to shut the door to my mind, nothing's happened.

I can't think of anything else to do that will help. I haven't had a good nights sleep in god knows how long because of the stupid recurring nightmares, I've literally had to force myself awake from them. And what scares me even more is that sometimes I don't even know what's real and what isn't. I'm just really thankful for the other day when Scott and Kelsey helped me with my panic attack, I honestly don't know what I'd do without them both. They're the only two people in my life that I would die for, besides my dad of course.

If anything were to happen to them, not only would I be lost, I'd be devastated. I don't think there's ever been a day where we haven't been around each other, and I hope there never will be. Scott and Kelsey mean the world to me. We've been through everything together, thick and thin.

There's no way anyone can break our friendship, not even if they tried, we'd always find away back to each other. Sure we've had arguments in the past, but they we're basically pointless and we've always apologized in the end. "He's back at the station right?" Scott asked, bringing me out of my thoughts. "Uh, yeah he should be." I nodded.

"Great, well maybe they also have some spare clothes they could lend Malia, she might get cold just wearing that jacket on her shoulders." Lydia mentioned. Oh god, right, I completely forgot Malia was naked. "I'm sure they do, I have a blanket in the trunk of my Jeep as well so, that should help." I brought up.

"Okay, Stiles if you take Malia to the station, Lydia and I will meet you there." And just after that, Kelsey got up and left without a word. Okay what the hell is going on? And what's up with Kelsey, she seems so off today, and more than usual. She's letting her anger take over. It's got to be something to do with Isaac, right? I mean what else could it be?

Nothing get's her more pissed off than Isaac or Allison. "Isaac!" Allison shouted as Isaac ran after Kelsey. Oh great, now they're going to end up having another argument. Why did Isaac bother to run after her anyway, clearly she doesn't want to talk to him, otherwise she would've answered him when he asked her if she was alright earlier.

Man, Isaac must've done something really bad to make Kelsey react this way. "Stiles, you should take Malia now." Scott said sternly as he glanced at a slightly shivering Malia. Alright, I'll take Malia to my dad, he'll sort her out. And then after dads finished with Malia at the station, he can take her to see Mr Tate - I think Malia would really like that after everything she's been dealing with. Lydia and Scott scurried off to find Scott's bike, while I helped Malia up from the ground. Glancing at Allison, she was still stood in the same spot, and it didn't look like she was planning on moving any time soon. "Hey, you okay?" I asked her.

She looked up with a slight smile playing on her lips. "Yeah I'm good, it's just nice to get a bit of fresh air y'know?" Alright then, I guess Allison is really appreciating Mother Nature today. Though something seems to be bothering me about her, could be nothing though. Then again, I am usually right about everything in the end.

"Alright, well I better take Malia to the station." I told her as I began to walk away with Malia by my side. Allison didn't say anything back as we walked away from her, she just stood there in silence. Not that I'm complaining or anything, I'd rather just leave her be and take Malia to my dad by myself.

I bet it's been really tough on Malia these past few years, she's been out here roaming around the woods as a coyote, and she hasn't even had any human contact since now. She must be so scared and confused. And I don't blame her for not speaking either, she probably needs time to sync everything in. I can't imagine what's going through her mind.

She must feel terrible. Though with these past few days, I've been feeling more terrible myself. I just hope this whole thing wont become permanent, there's no way I could cope any longer than I already have. I can tell my dad's been really worried about me, especially since I've been screaming myself awake most nights.

He wants to help me but he can't, and it's killing him. I stopped walking to my Jeep when I heard two raised voices. Malia who had her arm wrapped around my shoulder and semi-struggling to walk halted too. Her gaze looking towards my Jeep. Beside it Isaac and Kelsey were having an argument. What's new there?

Isaac was hidden behind a tree so we couldn't see him very well, but we could see the back of Kelsey facing us. "Could you tell me what this is about Kelsey? I don't get what you're so angry about, I thought we moved past everything." Isaac's voice was calm but you could hear the irritation in his tone. "Have we really moved past everything? Have we really?" Kelsey questioned, her tone accusing.

"I left Stiles and Lydia and went looking for Scott. Instead of finding him, I find you and Allison and I'm sure you can guess what I overheard." I knew there was something bothering me about Allison. Something bad must've gone down between her and Isaac. "Kelsey that was nothing-" The tall beta started but Kelsey interrupted him.

"So then, what was it that happened this morning? You were around hers pretty early." Her arms were crossed bow, no doubt glaring at Isaac expectantly. Why would Isaac go to Allison when he knows how Kelsey feels about her? And early in the morning too. It just seems like he's trying to get caught doing something suspicious. "I went there to talk, nothing happened." Isaac opened with what sounded like a lie.

"And nothing ever will, I love you Kelsey, only you."

"You know you're not the only werewolf here Isaac, I can tell when you're lying to me too." Kelsey signed tiredly. "You're in love with her too, aren't you?" Her voice was quiet but certain. There was a long pause before Kelsey's head nodded. Oh god, this is horrible. Kelsey shouldn't feel like this, she's already been through enough.

"I'm done fighting and competing for you to love me Isaac." She said, her voice becoming immensely sad. Her head tilted downwards, her gaze was on the ground. "You can go and finally have her, I'm finished." With that she made a move to turn and leave but he latched onto her hand.

"What no." He responded in panic.

Kelsey stepped forward and pulling on her arm jerking her body to face him. "Isaac, let me go." Kelsey said quietly. My jaw clenched when I watched him force himself on to her by merging his lips against hers. "But I love you, I really do love you." He pulled away desperately looking at her with pleading eyes. Why does he always say those three words when clearly he doesn't mean it? If he truly loved her, he wouldn't have hurt her in the first place. Kelsey pushed him away but he kept pulling her back to him. Watching him jerk her around like that was starting to piss me off.

"Let me go." Kelsey said more sternly but it didn't look like Isaac was going to let go anytime soon. Jesus Christ, is Isaac deaf? Why isn't he listening to her? Just let her go already. Glancing at Malia who nudged my hip I noticed she shook her head, as if willing me not to interfere like I was about to, but honestly I felt like I had no choice.

He's been playing with her feelings and emotions non stop. This bastard was going to keep bothering her, and I've had enough. Telling Malia to wait I marched over. "Kelsey please." He leaned in again to force another kiss on her, but I pushed him off of her with all the force I could muster.

"Dude let her go, don't make her tell you for the third time." I said, my face in a deep frown as I looked at the taller guy. He was surprised I pushed him, but his face twisted into one of anger. "Or what? What are you going to do?" He asked, almost laughing. Isaac closed the gap glaring at me. "I've got mountain ash rolled up in wolfsbane somewhere, would you like me to shove it up your ass?" I asked him, just as he pushed me.

"Isaac, just stop it!" Kelsey shouted desperately as she took a step beside me. "Then give me a chance explain. We can sort this out, we always do. I know I've screwed up too many times already and I'm sorry, I really am but that doesn't mean we can't work through this."

"Isaac I told you I'm finished, there's nothing to sort out anymore." She sighed sadly as she turned her back to Isaac, slowly stepping away. "Kelsey please don't do this, I need you!" Isaac whined as tried to go after Kelsey again but I moved in his way before he could. "Well you should've thought about that before you broke her heart." I spat.

"Shut up Stilinski, this has nothing to do with you." Isaac hissed. "It has everything to do with me!" I blurted out, gaining Kelsey's attention and the attention of our new audience a few feet away. It was silent now as I glared hard at him. "You've hurt her too many times Isaac, I'm not going to stand and let you treat her like this anymore." He's gone too far already.

"Stiles, it's okay." Kelsey's hand rested on my shoulder, stopping me from carrying on. She could probably sense I was going to go in on him. "No it's not," Isaac moved his glare to her briefly, before he took a step closer towards me. "If you've got something to say, say it." He grounded out, his claws coming out and his fangs making an appearance.

"You know what? I don't need to say anything. Actions do speak louder than words." Isaac's brows furrowed in confusion, before he could make head or tail on what I meant, I sent my fist flying into his jaw making him stumble backwards before falling onto his behind.

"Stiles!" Kelsey's eyes widened as she watched her recently crowned ex boyfriend sat on the ground with a bewildered expression on his face. A low growl erupted from his throat, as his eyes turned amber, he stood advancing towards me but Scott interfered by jumping in front of him and grabbing him by the collar.

"Isaac!" He yelled, his eyes glowing a dangerous red. Just looking at his eyes, Isaac halted his advance. Scott and Isaac seemed to have a silent conversation between them before he let him go. "Stiles, take Malia to the station and take Kelsey with you." Scott told me, his gaze still locked on Isaac. Looking between the two, I could tell a fight was about to break out.

Not wanting to be caught in the crossfire, I took a step away from both of them. "What? Scott no-" Kelsey began to protest, but a growl from her brother shut her up. "Kelsey, go with Stiles right now," Scott's voice was dangerous as he moved his stare from Isaac to her. Kelsey nodded and for once did what she was told.

"You don't have to tell me twice." I mutter as I walked over to Malia guiding her to the Jeep. Kelsey was already in the back, while Malia was sat in the passenger seat. Walking around the Jeep to the drivers side, I hopped in just as Kelsey finished wrapping Malia up in the blanket.

As soon as the three of us settled down, I drove away from the meeting spot. Throughout the whole drive towards the station, both Kelsey and Malia were silent. While I kept re-playing myself punching Isaac in the face. I honestly don't know what came over me, he just really pissed me off. The way he's always treating Kelsey, making her feel so goddamn miserable all the time - he had that punch coming.

"I'm gonna wait here." Kelsey spoke in a hushed voice as we parked up outside the station. I nodded my head with a light smile as I made my exit out the Jeep and helping Malia to her feet. Soon after we walked into the station, I spotted my dad talking to the new deputy - he glanced at us in the corner of his eye, giving a knowing nodded before he began to rush over.

"Is this Malia?" He asked.

"Yes." I smiled while gently squeezing Malia's shoulder, though she wasn't really fazed - I guess she's still a little nervous and confused. "Alright, thank you, son, tell Scott and the rest of them that I'm grateful you saved Malia, I'll take it from here." Dad told me as he carefully whisked Malia away. I gave a friendly wave goodbye to Malia before I turned around and stepped out the station, returning to my beloved Jeep.

Kelsey was sat in the passenger seat when I got in the car myself. "Well that's Malia safe a sound, dad's going to make sure she's all cleaned up and healthy before he takes her home." I spoke whilst texting Scott that Malia is in my dad's hands. Kelsey turned her head and cleared her throat. "Thanks for stepping in back there when Isaac didn't let me go."

"It's alright, I couldn't just stand there and let him hurt you again." I explained to her. There was a brief moment of silence before Kelsey opened her mouth. "Can we go somewhere? I could use a distraction from everything that's going on right now." A distraction. I guess I could help take her mind of things.

"I know just the place."

"How much further do we have to go?" Kelsey whined as she followed me down the sidewalk. She seems to be a little more talkative than earlier which is a good sign. I knew she wouldn't be able to stay quiet for long. "Not much, we're just around the corner." I told her as we made a left. "I still don't understand why you parked a block away." She questioned before we reached our destination.

She paused, taking in her surroundings then turned to face me wearing a smile on her face. I had brought her back to where we first starting talking and became friends. We did already know of each other since I was friends with Scott, and she was always around whenever I went to play with him, but Kelsey never really spoke to me until I came to this park.

I think she was just really shy back then, but at the time I generally thought she hated me or something. "This is the place where we officially become friends. I remember you punched Drew Hoffman in the face over there after he kept pushing me off the swing." Kelsey said while pointing in the direction of the swings. "Yeah, he cried like a baby and ran away, my hand hurt for days after that."

Kelsey nudged me. "Awh my hero, that jerk never bothered me again after that thanks to you." I remember that day off the back of my head. Most of my top memories are to do with the McCall twins. They always know how to have fun, plus they didn't think I was too weird like most of the other kids did back then. They filled my childhood with happiness and adventure, and I probably won't be the person I am today without them.

"It's because I'm batman." I told her as we went to sit on the swings.

"Well, you were dressed up as him when you came to my rescue, why was that anyway? It wasn't even Halloween." Kelsey laughed. "I just liked wearing it, no excuses needed. Besides, at least I wasn't the one wearing a bumblebee costume with antennas on my head." I laughed back, remembering how funny she looked, maybe that's why Drew Hoffman pushed her off the swing - he hated bees.

Kelsey sent me a somewhat serious look. "It wasn't a costume Stiles, it was an actual dress with a matching headband, mom thought it was adorable so I wore it to keep her smiling." I'm surprised Melissa didn't dress Scott up in a matching bumble bee consume seeing she used to match a few of their other clothes. But I guess the bubble bee outfit was a little cute, still hilarious though. "Okay, if you say so."

Kelsey and I sat at the swings for a few hours before we headed back to my house for lunch. We talked about memories from our childhood and all the weird things we used to do. Isaac didn't come up in conversation once and I think Kelsey had forgotten about what happened earlier for at least awhile. Scott messaged me asking if Kelsey was okay because Isaac apparently told him everything after they got into a little tussle, so I said she was alright and that she's going to be staying with me tonight.

And what's even better is that I could actually read Scotts text message, I looked around just to be sure I could read other stuff in the room, and I think everything's back to normal again - well, as normal as it gets. But I can read again which means I managed to shut the door to my mind somehow. Kelsey was happy and relieved when I told her, I knew how much she was worried about me.

So now both myself and Scott have closed the door, I can only assume Allison has also. Well, I'm just that that's all over and done with, I can concentrate on other things like helping Kelsey through her complicated situation with Isaac and that Jake guy I barely know.

I should probably see what Jake wants with Kelsey as he keeps popping up out of nowhere, but I'll leave that for another time. For now, I will entertain Kelsey and make sure she doesn't get stressed out. I fell asleep with Kelsey in my arms and the ending credits rolling up the screen. I was startled awake at the sound of something across my rooming dropping to the floor.

I felt Kelsey's light grip on my shirt and the weight of her head on my chest, so I knew it wasn't her. Was it Isaac? Here to start another fight. Glancing at the threshold of my door I realised Scott leaning at the threshold like a creep. "Oh, it's just you," I spoke groggily.

"Do you have to be such a creeper?" Releasing a yawn, my head relaxed back onto the pillow. "I came to check on you guys and see if you were okay, you do know it's midday and you've missed half of school already right?" Midday? Furrowing my brows, I glanced over at the clock and sure enough it was midday.

"Ah crap." I cursed to myself.

I had assignments to hand in today, I'm going to get hell if I don't hand them in before the end of school. Since I didn't call in, they probably think I'm bunking. "Don't worry, I told them you guys weren't feeling good and that you got food poisoning." Scott shrugged as if reading my mind.

"Thanks." I sigh in relief.

Using the arm that was free, I pulled it through my tousled hair while closing my eyes. When I opened them again, I glanced over to Scott to see him watching Kelsey intently before moving his gaze to me. "How is she doing, Stiles?" He asked, his expression darkening over as a serious face crossed his features. "I think she's going to be okay, she managed to calm down and relax after we dropped Malia off at the station," I explained.

"We were watching Star Wars until she fell asleep on me." A smile spread across my face when I looked down at her sleeping form. She was so peaceful and innocent looking when she was asleep. "Right, can you meet me downstairs? I need to talk to you." Scott said, exiting the threshold and heading towards the kitchen.

Carefully, I peeled Kelsey off of me and replaced myself with a pillow before heading downstairs to see Scott sat on my island stool looking troubled. "What's up?" I asked him. "I'm so pissed off. I knew he was being a tool to Kelsey, but hearing the full story of things he's apparently done to hurt her. Honestly, I don't want him near her, or any guy really." Scott blurted out. From his tone, I could tell he felt guilty, at fault for everything that's happened.

But he also felt pain and anger for Kelsey.

Scott has always wanted to protect his sister, but most the time she's proven to be strong and independent and not in need for his help. And the one time he could have protected her from heartbreak, he was too late. His twin was hurting and he felt the hurt. "Understandable, I was thinking of looking into Jake. He's been hovering over Kelsey quite a lot, I'm not sure if I trust him," I interject.

Scott and I have always been there looking out for Kelsey, I knew how Scott felt about failing her like this, and there's no way I'm planning on letting another fool screw Kelsey about. "Don't worry, we'll make sure she's okay." I offer my comfort, patting him on the shoulder. "Stiles, can I trust you?" Scott's words took me off guard.

"What do you mean? Of course! Dude I've been your best friend forever, we're like brothers for crying out loud." I say, my brows furrowed as I watched my best friend as his gaze looked off into the distant. "I know that Stiles. I mean, can I trust you with Kelsey?" My brows knitted together, he was joking, right? "Stiles, I know you still have feelings for my sister. And I want to trust that you'll take good care of her, but after trusting Isaac I don't know if I can do that." Is he being serious?

"Scott, you're kidding right?" I say shaking my head in disbelief. He isn't sure if he should trust me? ME? I'm his best friend! "You know I would never hurt her, right? Well obviously you don't, so I'll make it clear. I will never ever hurt Kelsey the way Isaac did, and I would never do anything to harm her. If she hurts I'm hurt and you're hurt. Okay?"

"Okay."

BOOM!!

It may have taken hell of a long time but chapter eight is finally published, so let me know your thoughts, did you like it? Do you think Kelsey did the right thing breaking up with Isaac? Should Isaac try to win Kelsey back or is it way too late for them to work through things?

And now that they're no longer together, will Allison make her move on Isaac? Most importantly, will Kelsey ever find out about Stiles feelings toward her? Or will Stiles just keep it between himself and Scott.

I dedicate this chapter to -txrgaryen for helping me edit and finish so it could be published today. So thank you again, I owe you x
