Chapter 6 - Heart Monitor

                                    

                                          
I turn my phone on silent and put it in my bag as Scott comes walking in to English class. He stops immediately when he spots Stiles whose body tenses upon seeing my brother. 
Letting out a sigh Stiles turns his head to his left and sees my encouraging smile, to which he barely shakes his head and looks down at his desk still pissed at Scott for yesterday, I get it  
Scott sits behind him and at my pointed look paired with a slight nod towards Stiles– Scott nods and leans forward "Still not talking to me?"
Silence.
"Okay, can you at least tell me if your dad's okay? It's just a bruise, right? Some soft tissue damage? Nothin' that big–" he still got hit by a fucking car my dude
Stiles lifts his head, bringing his gaze from his desk and doesn't look anywhere but the front of the room. I can see him angrily jabbing his tongue into his cheek, fighting his urge to say something. 
I scrunch my nose up at the awkward situation and flick my eyes back to Scott who tries again "You know I feel really bad about it, right?"
Silence.
"Okay. What if I told you that I'm trying to figure this whole thing out, and– that I went to Derek for help?"
With that statement Stiles huffs out an unbelievable sigh looking at me and my raised brows quickly before looking back down at his desk "If I was talking to you, I'd say that you're an idiot for trusting him. But obviously I'm not talking to you." He finishes his jab with a click of his tongue as the bell rings and I spare a look at a defeated Scott who sits back in his chair. 
Out of my periph I see Stiles lean forward and his body gives a little twitch, making me smile to myself it has to be killing him not to ask 
He lets out a breath and looks at my smirk, before rolling his eyes and turning around to Scott "What did he say?"

Scott opens the door as Stiles and then myself follow him out of the class, falling in the middle of the boys as we walk down the hall
"Wh– wait he wants you to tap into your animal side and get angry?" Stiles asks in disbelief, earning Scott to nod while he adjusts the strap of his backpack onto his shoulder more "Yeah."
Stiles scoffs and elaborates his words with a wave of his hand in between him and I "All right, well, correct me if I'm wrong, but every time you do that, you try to kill someone, and that someone is usually one of us." 
Scott follows the movement of Stiles' hand and nods "I know. That's what he means when he says he doesn't know if he can teach me. I have to be able to control it."
I make a noise and look up at Scott "Well, how's he gonna teach you to do that? 
"I don't know. I don't think he does either." Scott concedes and Stiles throws his head back "Okay– when are you seeing him again?"
"He told me not to talk about it. Just act normal and get through the day."
Stiles stops and hits Scott on the chest "When?" I stop along with them sidestepping closer to let a group behind us go by as Scott answers "He's picking me up at the animal clinic after work."
