“If you live among wolves you have to act like a wolf.” - Nikita Khrushchev

The months after the party went by quickly. Not much happened. Well, a lot happened but just not to me. Everything had been quickly going downhill; Lydia, Stiles, Allison, Jackson, and Scott had gotten trapped in the school one night while the alpha roamed around and killed the janitor. Which had been one of many murders that had happened since we had been turned. A bus driver had been found, not quite dead but then later passed in the hospital. I did my best to stay out of it. Derek never approached me, thankfully. They eventually figured out that the alpha was Peter Hale, Derek’s uncle who had been horrifically burned in the fire six years ago. Which was terrifying to hear, but made since in the overarching scheme of things.

A few things went down in our social group as well. Allison and Scott broke up mid-semester for reasons unknown to me. I still sit with Scott and Stiles at lunch most days, mostly just to stay in the loop about what was going on. Jackson had (somehow) figured out what Scott and I were, but he wasn’t aware I was one too, thankfully. I could feel the tension between the two boys and ultimately decided it was best if I stayed out of it.

However, it was when I finally heard all the details of the breakup, that I decided to stop sitting with them at lunch and instead moved to sitting with just Allison. We were quickly joined by an apologetic Lydia who missed her friends. I ignored Scott as much as I could, which also meant ignoring Stiles. That hurt my heart a little, a small crush blossoming in the weeks we had spent together investigating the murders.

Stiles still texted me updates when he could and we talked in the halls. We no longer pretend to be dating, or whatever people thought we were doing. A week after Thanksgiving break, Isaac Lahey asked me to go to the winter formal with him and I, of course, said yes. No one else was going to ask me and Issac was cute, with curly blonde hair and blue eyes. He was also on the lacrosse team, though Lydia didn’t recognize the name. I had said yes before thinking about Stiles, but if I was being honest with myself, I didn’t think he really cared if I went at all. Which broke my heart a little, but I did my best to ignore it. He still had a huge crush on Lydia and I didn’t really want to mess around with that.

I tried to focus on Lydia more. She and Jackson had broken up not too long after Allison and Scott had split. Lydia seemed… heartbroken. Her sadness clung to her like a second skin and nearly made it impossible to sit near her. No one else seemed to notice, besides me and maybe Stiles, for obvious reasons. She had really loved Jackson, for whatever reason. I still don’t like the guy, especially after the shit he pulled trying to get the bite. He was reckless and didn’t listen to reason, two of my least favorite qualities.

One day, after a few weeks of refusing to speak to him, Scott stopped me in the hallway. The stench of desperation surrounded me, making me want to gag. I glared at him and he held his hands up in surrender.

“I just want to talk,” he said, his brown eyes pleading with me. At that moment I spotted Isaac’s blonde head over the crowd of people and I hurried towards it, Scott meeting me stride for stride. “I need you to get Allison’s necklace for me. We think it may have to do with the murders.” I stop in my tracks and turn a glare onto him.

“So you want me to steal from one of my best friends?” I practically growl at him. His eyes go wide, and I try to calm down. Scott was one of the few people who managed to really get under my skin, and I knew in that moment that my eyes had gone yellow. I collected myself, pushing the anger and panic down. “I am not stealing from her. If you want it, why don’t you ask for it? I won’t be your go between.” He stops following me and I quickly get to Issac’s side.

“Hey, whats up?” he asks quietly. I shake my head. Isaac is shockingly good at reading my emotions, and knowing when I don’t want to talk. He just nods, and wraps an arm around my shoulders. We walked to class in relative silence, only catching a few looks in the process.

Isaac wasn’t the most popular choice in friends, but he was kind. He had a rather bad home life, so in the few weeks we had been friends, he had been over at my house nearly every night. Partially to work on homework, but also to just get away. Mom instantly liked him, and Dad seemed to like him, as much as Dad liked any of my guy friends. I wasn’t sure if Isaac liked me in a romantic way but nothing with him was ever boring, and it felt… normal.

A week before the formal, Lydia took Allison and I shopping for dresses. It was her way of apologizing for everything. Not to mention that Allison is acting weird. We had figured out her family’s secret, that they were hunters. Allison didn’t seem to be clued in on that fact, but I had decided that being her friend was more important. She wouldn’t hurt me.

We walk into Macy’s, heading towards the escalator. We had been talking about formal plans, but I tuned them out fairly quickly. I tune back in when Allison turns towards Lydia with a triumphant smile.

“I’m going with Jackson,” Allison states. I blink a few times, confused as to why anyone would willingly spend time with that snake. Lydia’s face twists with shock and I feel a little bad for thinking such things. “He asked, and I said yes.” I shrug, not wanting to dig too deep into whatever was happening between them. Lydia looked almost mad, her face going red with anger. It was almost comical.

“Is this payback for making out with Scott?” she asks quietly. Allison just smiles and shakes her head, infuriating her more. “And who am I supposed to go with?” Once her question is asked, a familiar scent hits my nose. I groan internally.

“Him,” Allison says, pointing towards the scent I had smelled. Stiles. He leans to sniff something at the perfume counter and inevitably does something klutzy. I laugh softly, covering my mouth with my hand to keep the sound to myself. I turn to see Lydia’s eyes narrow and then turn to me. She raises an eyebrow in question and I just shrug, knowing that I had no claim on him. I push down the small, insecure part of me that is screaming to tell her no, it’s not okay. That pang of jealousy would have to be explored at a later point.

After Allison points him out, Stiles follows Lydia around like a lost puppy, holding her mountain of dresses for her and shooting off sarcastic comments that make me laugh. His eyes meet mine a few times, as if asking if this was going to be okay. I nod, refusing to let that feeling overtake me. We’re friends, I can handle this weird little crush that has been lingering.

We walk around for what feels like hours, Allison disappearing to take care of her car an hour into shopping. Lydia decides on a silver dress with a black ribbon around her waist and Allison decides on a ruffled silver number that really compliments her coloring. They both leaned very heavily on the ‘winter’ part of winter formal with those colors. I still couldn’t find a dress I liked that fit me well, until Stiles waves me over to a rack a few feet from where I am.

“Evie, come here! I think I found something,” he says, a big smile on his face. I hurry over to him, excited to see what he had found. He pulls out a deep green dress with an iridescent overlay on the skirt and bodice. It laces up in the back instead of having a zipper and has some boning in the front, to keep it stiff. I run my fingers over the fabric, a smile creeping its way onto my face. “Well, what do you think?” he asks, a nervous lilt in his voice.

“I love it.” He smiles, relieved and I quickly find my size and head towards the changing rooms. As soon as I slip the dress on, I know it’s the one. I struggle slightly with tying the ribbons in the back, but mange to get it tight enough that it won’t slip off me. Stepping in front of the mirror, I admire how it looks on me. The green makes my hair look more red, and compliments my dark eyes. I twirl, watching the skirt spin with me. It gives me fairy vibes and I’m absolutely in love with it.

I step out into the main area where everyone is waiting. Lydia insists on seeing all the dresses, to help us pick I guess. I hear a soft gasp when I walk out, and my eyes immediately go to Lydia, who has a grin on her face and a look of approval shining through. Allison is smiling, her dimples really coming through from the strength of it. Stiles’ eyes went wide when he sees me, an odd look coming onto his face.

“Wow! You look great!” he says. “Not that you don’t always look great! This is just… wow.” I laugh, a blush heating up my face. I ignore the butterflies in my stomach, trying to squish them before there’s a whole horde of them in there.

“Well, you picked it out. You have a good eye, for a guy,” I say with a grin. “So, this is a yes, right? Please let it be a yes, I don’t think I can handle anymore dress-trying-on.” Lydia laughs, the first I had heard in a long time.

“Yeah, that’s a definite yes. Isaac won’t know what hit him.” At the mention of Isaac, Stiles’ light eyes go dark with what I assume is jealousy, which makes my heart do flips. Maybe he does like me the way I like him. He hurries away, mostly to help Lydia put all the no’s on the return rack, but I can hear his heart beating faster than usual. Stiles avoids me the rest of the night, and I try not to worry about it, though his actions make me nervous.

We go out for a quick bite after we buy our dresses, Lydia insisting to buy both Allison and I’s. I argue slightly, until I see the price tag and know without a doubt that I don’t have that much money in my bank account. Us girls discuss hair and makeup ideas, while Stiles does his very best to not look bored. For his part, Lydia had made sure that he had a tux that would go well with her dress. I made a mental note to ask Isaac about his tux, though I wasn’t too concerned with matching. As long as it was black and white, it would look fine.

Lydia dropped Allison and I off, Stiles going home on his own. I hurry up to my room to put my dress in the closet. I had tried my best to decorate my room in a nice way. We had painted the walls a nice ivory color, nothing too bright. One wall was covered in false ivy and had an oversized chair in the corner, next to my bookshelves. Another wall held my bed, it’s warmth especially inviting after these past few hours of tedious shopping. The weather had started to turn chilly, though not nearly as cold as it had been in Kansas, which I was grateful for. My desk was pushed up to the window, so I could see out while doing homework. Books littered my desk, some for school and others for my own downtime.

I do my nightly routine, making sure to remove all makeup before heading to bed. There had been a night about a month ago where I had forgotten and woke up to a perfect imprint of my face on my white pillow. Needless to say, Mom was not very happy with me for that one. I slide into my warm bed, a feeling of comfort seeping into my bones.

I often have dreams, or rather, nightmares. My brain seems to think that I don’t worry enough while I’m awake, so it creates scenes in my brain to have me react to and become anxious upon waking. Lately, I have been having the same dream over and over again. I was in the woods, a gauzy white gown covering my otherwise nude body, as I ran between the trees. I wasn’t being chased, but I could feel someone following me. We were laughing in the dream, and at some point it felt like I had been tackled to the ground by this person but nothing hurt. I could feel them leave soft kisses on my exposed shoulders and I felt so completely comfortable. It didn’t make sense, and I had no clue who the person was but I found myself searching for them upon waking. The urge to find them was so strong it was almost painful.

Tonight is no different. As I fall asleep, the scent of the woods hits my nose immediately. The same dress covered my body, and I could almost see the person behind me before we started sprinting through the woods, my speed surprising me. I turn back to see the person, but they’re far behind me. I slow down so they can catch up and their scent hits me. Sweat, but something else, something… manly. Before I could place the smell, I was being tackled to the ground. This time though, I was facing the person and I felt a slight pain in my back, making me close my eyes in discomfort. A hand gently cups my face and his thumb gently caresses my cheek. I lean into the touch, savoring it before the dream melts away into darkness.

I wake slowly, wanting to stay in my dream as long as possible to gather any more clues about the person. The sun hasn’t even rose, and yet here I am, awake. I sigh, deciding that if I have to be awake, I might as well use the time efficiently. I take a long, hot shower, trying to get the scent of the man out of my nose. Everything about him felt so familiar and yet I couldn’t place it. Closing my eyes, I try to mentally put it in a folder to look at later; focusing on it now would do me no good. I take a few deep breaths and turn off the water, stepping out into the cool bathroom. Wrapping a towel around myself, I head back to my room. I flip on the light and pad to my closet when I hear a soft sound.

I turn slowly, spotting a man sitting in my desk chair. I freeze, much like a deer caught in headlights as the man stands.

“Hello, Evangeline.”

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

I rub my eyes, yawning as I pull on my jersey. I hadn’t slept well last night, partially because of this recurring dream that left me feeling exhausted and partially because I didn’t fall asleep until very early in the morning. My phone buzzes relentlessly in my pocket, the buzzing catching the attention of both Scott and Coach, which is unfortunate for me.

“Stilinski! If you can’t shut that thing up, I’ll shut it up for you!” he yelled from across the locker room. I wince and fumble for it, nearly dropping it onto the hard concrete floor.

“Yes Coach,” I say back, ignoring the call. I sigh, putting the phone into my gym locker, not bothering to look at who had been calling me. Scott gives me a funny look before turning back to whatever Coach had been lecturing us about before I had rudely interrupted. I tuned him out most of the time, and this time was no different.

It was way too early to be having practice; the sun was barely up, but here we are, cold and running laps. Practice itself wouldn’t take that long, but it had gotten so cold this past week that no one really wanted to be out on the field. Everyone was sluggish, even Scott, who still looked like a kicked puppy about Allison going to the formal with Jackson. I still hadn’t figured out how Allison had talked Lydia into being my date but to say I was excited would have been an understatement. This was my one chance to show her how great a boyfriend I can be, and I’m not about to give that up.

Practice goes by quickly, the cold settling into our bones within a few minutes. After showering and dressing, I grab my phone from my locker, noticing that I had four missed calls. I scroll through the call log, realizing they were all from Evie and she only left one voicemail. I open it, my foot tapping against the floor, the only sign of my nervousness.

“Stiles, he found me…” a loud bang in the background and a yelp from Evie nearly sets me running. Her voice is low, barely there. “I… I don’t know where I am. It’s so dark… Stiles…” The voicemail is cut off there and I bring the phone in front of me in shock. Scott comes up beside me, his jaw set in anger. He lays a hand on my shoulder and looks at me dead in the eye.

“We’ll find her.” I nod, the situation still not quite making sense. He who? There were several contenders at this point. It could be Peter, or Derek, or Argent… There were too many people involved for anything to be clear. I take a deep, calming breath. “Do you have anything of hers that I can get a scent off of? Or do we need to raid her house?” I pause for a moment, trying to remember if she had ever left anything in the Jeep. I shake my head, coming up empty.

“No, but I think we may be able to get something from her locker.” Scott gives me a funny look and I explain quickly. “She never locks it, says that the combination takes too much time.” He nods and we head towards the hallway. I nearly walk past it and have to double back after I spot it. I open it, the pictures inside fluttering at the movement. Scott takes over from there, grabbing a sweater Evie had left in there. I refuse to focus too long on her smiling face, knowing that something very easily could have ruined that smiling face forever.

After taking the sweater out, we rush towards the Jeep, nearly crashing into Allison and Lydia in our hurry. Scott slides to a stop but I keep going, tumbling to the ground. I hiss at the pain in my knees and Scott helps pick me back up.

“Woah! Where are you going?” Allison yells after us. Neither Scott nor I stop to explain, too busy hurrying towards the Jeep to realize they were going to follow us. The two exchange a look and rush after us, their heels clicking against the floor. “Wait up!”

We made it to the Jeep in record time, me nearly running into the side window, because I was unable to slow down enough to not. The girls reach us as Scott hops into the car, leaving me to explain our rush to them.

“We got a call from Evie,” I say quietly. “She’s being held somewhere, we don’t know where.” Lydia’s eyes go huge, reminding me of an owl. Allison sets her jaw, and I can see her decision in her eyes. She reaches for the door and climbs silently into the car. I turn to Lydia, awkwardly wrapping an arm around her while quiet tears fall down her face. “We’re going to find her, okay? Everything will be ok.” I move her so we’re looking each other in the eyes, hers shining with anger now instead of tears.

“I want to go with you,” she says.

“Lydia, you need to-” she cuts me short with a curt laugh.

“She is my cousin! I will not stand by and let anything happen to her!” I wince at how loud her voice had gone, but the anger in her face makes me sigh. I reluctantly open the door for her and watch her climb into the back, a satisfied look on her face. Scott glares at me; I just shrug and get into the car. Lydia’s eyes narrow, catching sight of the sweater in Scott’s hands. “Why do you have her sweater?”

Scott and I exchange a look, as nervousness floods my body. I hadn’t thought about having to explain how we were going to find her. Scott tries to come up with a reason, but I know that it’ll never curb Lydia’s curiosity. The girl’s mind was a steel trap; she’d remember anything we told her and use it against us if anything happened out of the ordinary.

“Evie left it in the front seat one day after school,” I say quickly. That answer must have made enough sense to her, since she dropped it. I let out a breath of relief and started to drive. Scott rolls down his window under the disguise that it’s easier to see with it down. We drive for a long time, when Scott goes stiff. “What? What is it?”

“I… I think I see her.” I hit the brakes quickly, causing the girls to shout in surprise. I mumble a sorry but turn my attention to where Scott is looking. A small, pale figure is moving towards us quickly. She’s stumbling through the woods, the light making a halo around her head. “It’s definitely her.”

At that, we all hurry out of the car and I run towards her. There’s blood on her forehead, the cut already closing. Blood slips down her bare body from twin cuts along her ribs, a matching set visible on her thighs as well. She stumbles a few times when she spots us, trying to hurry while also looking over her shoulder. Lydia rushes forward, and I avert my eyes, trying not to stare at her nakedness.

Scott hands Allison the sweater and I dig a pair of athletic shorts out of my gym bag. Lydia does her best to clean off the blood with an extra shirt she found in the back of the Jeep. I make a mental note to replace these clothes and get better detergent to get the blood out. Evie is silent the entire time, only making soft sounds of pain if Lydia pushes too hard on her cuts. Her entire back is scratched up, a few deep cuts littered here and there. The sight of her blood makes me nauseous but I do my best to curb the urge to vomit or pass out. Allison and Lydia help her dress, making Scott and I turn around.

“We should take her to the hospital,” I say quietly to Scott. “Her wounds aren’t healing. They must have put wolfbane on the knives.” Scott shakes his head.

“Those are definitely from Peter. A wound from an alpha takes longer to heal,” he says. I make a face, unsure as to why he assumes that it was Peter. “He had to have done this, his scent is coating her like a second skin and the Argents don’t even know she exists.” I sigh, a headache beginning to form. I look over to the group of girls, watching as they hug, careful of Evie’s cuts and bruises. Relief washes over me and I let out a breath I didn’t realize I was holding. She’s okay, she’s here and she’s not dead. That’s all I could have asked for.

Evie meets my gaze and gives me a small smile. I grin back at her, the situation lightening momentarily. We had found her, she was okay, and we had an idea of who took her. Then it hit me; we would have to explain this to her parents at some point. That would not be a fun conversation. She gestured us over, the smile lingering on her face. Evie pulls Scott into a hug, making him smile. He ruffles her hair slightly, getting her to laugh softly. Then, she turns to me.

“Thank you,” she says, her voice hoarse. I swallow, worry and relief warring inside me. She pulls me into a hug, her arms nearly crushing my ribs but I hug back just as fiercely.

“Don’t ever get kidnapped again.” She laughs, this time a real, full laugh. I smile, glad to know that this experience hadn’t ruined her spirit completely. Evie pats my chest after letting me out of her bone crushing hug and steps back into the safety of her friends.

“I’ll do my best not to get kidnapped again,” she says.

“So, do we need to go to the hospital or would you rather go home?” I ask. Her brown eyes go wide at the mention of a hospital and I mentally kick myself. Of course a hospital would be a bad idea. Her cuts would be healed in a matter of hours, making any stitches she got useless.

“Of course we’re going to the hospital! We just found her in the woods, naked and bleeding!” Lydia snaps, making me wince. Evie faces her cousin, a deep frown on her face. She points to the fully closed cut on her forehead, where it had been bleeding not two minutes ago.

“There’s no need for a hospital,” she says softly, taking a step towards Lydia and Allison. Allison, for her part, didn’t back away from Evie, though fear sparked in her eyes. Scott and I exchange a look, knowing that everything that Allison had been suspecting was now revealed to her. There were no more secrets left to tell, except maybe Evie’s.

“I don’t understand,” Allison starts. “You were bleeding, you had really deep cuts… and now they're just gone?” Making a so-so gesture with her hands, Evie nods, a look of compassion taking over her face. Her dark eyes have lost their usual shine and a weight has been placed on her shoulders. “What does that mean? What are you?” Evie glances at Scott, visibly tiring before our eyes. Scott nods, taking over explaining for Evie.

“Remember when you said that your family was hiding something from you?” A nod from Allison. “Well, we’re what they’re hiding from you. Evie and I are werewolves.” Lydia blinks a few times, then turns her attention to Evie.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” she asks quietly. Evie rubs her face, smearing blood and dirt across her cheek. A part of me itches to wipe it off her face, knowing that she would hate looking so filthy.

“I didn’t want you to worry about me, after everything I’ve put this family through the last thing I wanted to do was give you another reason to worry.” In that moment my heart breaks for Evie. I don’t know all the details, but I knew that whatever happened before she left Kansas had to have been bad if she didn’t even trust Lydia with her secrets. Lydia hugs Evie tight, tears streaming down her pale face.

“You don’t get to decide what will make me worry and what won’t. If anything happens to you, I should be the first to know,” she says, making Evie laugh as they broke from their hug. Allison holds up a hand.

“Hold on. Everyone is just okay with this? No one is concerned that there are supernatural beings in this town?” Everyone looks around, and I shrug.

“Honestly? I’ve been freaking out for the past three months. Werewolves are fucking scary man.” Scott glares at me and Evie raises an eyebrow. “Current company excluded of course,” I say. “I’m more worried about the other two, the ones that want Scott, and now Evie, to join their pack.” Evie nods, a bit of light returning to her eyes. “Derek isn’t so bad but Peter is absolutely insane.”

“I’m sorry, who?” Lydia asks.

“Derek and Peter Hale are also werewolves. Peter is the crazy alpha who has been killing people and attacking us since September. They want Scott and Evie to join their pack because “we’re stronger together”, but Scott said no and they didn’t know Evie existed until now. Not sure how they figured out where she was but now we have to be on guard all the time so no one gets kidnapped.” I let out a breath, winded from so much talking.

Lydia shakes her head, her strawberry blonde curls bouncing with the movement. Another thought pops into my mind but before I can voice it, Scott is ushering Evie into the Jeep, Lydia and Allison right behind her. I look over my shoulder quickly, seeing a dark mass quickly approaching from the woods and get into the Jeep as well, hoping it starts on the first try. I rev the engine, once, twice, three times before it finally kicks over and we’re barreling down the road towards Evie’s house.

“He knows where I live!” she reminds me from the backseat.

“Well, where the hell am I supposed to go?!” I bark back, immediately regretting it when I see her eyes go yellow in the rearview mirror. “I’m sorry!” They’re quickly gone, but I know I’ve hurt her feelings. Scott looks over at me, a confused look on his face.

“Head towards the vet clinic,” he says calmly. Why is he so calm? Wish I could be calm with a lunatic wolfman following us. I nod, turning the car sharply onto the correct road.

We’re at the vet clinic in record time, though I’m pretty sure that I broke several traffic laws in doing so. The dark figure is quickly gaining on us. Scott and I usher the girls inside before entering ourselves, locking the door behind us.

“Anyone want to tell me why we’re in a vet clinic?” Lydia whispers.

“The whole building is made of mountain ash,” says a voice from behind us, making both Evie and I jump.

“You can’t just sneak up on us like that!” I whisper yell. Deaton, Scott’s boss, stands behind the counter, a serious look on his face. He pushes us behind the counter and into an examination room before locking that door as well.

We all hide in various spots as we listen to Peter talk to Deaton, or rather threaten him. Evie, somehow, has ended up pressed into my side, her warmth chasing away any chill that was left over from being outside. Scott eyes us from the other side of the room, a small frown on his face. Allison is pressed against the examination table, Lydia squished in next to her. We hear the front door slam and we all let out a collective breath. Evie scoots away from me, and I almost immediately miss her warmth. It’s freezing in here; Deaton must not have switched over his air conditioning yet.

“You can all come out now,” Deaton calls out. I hear the lock turn and pop up, everyone else slowly getting to their feet. We all make our way out into the main lobby, where Deaton is waiting. He scans Evie, as if he can see the cuts and bruises her clothing is covering. “You need some medical attention. May I see?” he asks. Evie nods and they step back into the examination room, Lydia joining them after a few moments.

Scott, Allison, and I wait outside. I pace around while they have a quiet conversation about whatever it is that they usually talk about, my brain not catching onto any words they’re saying. After what felt like hours, the trio emerges from the examination room. Evie looks freshly showered and I briefly entertain that idea of Deaton washing her like a dog in one of the sinks. She’s small, she’d be able to fit.

Scott and Allison stand, the latter rushing to help Evie back to the car. Any energy Evie had before was completely sapped by the time she made it back to the Jeep. Scott lifts her into the back seat, settling her between Lydia and Allison while I race to the drivers side. I take her back to her house, leaving Lydia with her. Allison, Scott, and I all go back to school, the day weighing heavily on our minds. Allison and Lydia know now, and there was no going back from that.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

I slept for what felt like days, dreamless and deeply. A warm body is pressed against me the entire time I’m asleep and I can hear soft music coming from somewhere. I curl into the warmth, still freezing from my jaunt in the woods and being naked in the old Hale house. I feel fingers rake gently through my hair, detangling it and removing any leftover sticks that my dip into the sink didn’t catch. I sigh, awake now but not wanting to open my eyes.

“Stiles…” I say softly. The hand stops and I open an eye to see Lydia sitting beside me, definitely not Stiles. Refusing to feel embarrassed, I meet her stare. She rolls her eyes and smiles.

“I knew you had a thing for him. You should see the way you look at him,” she says with a smirk. I huff, pulling myself up with a soft groan of pain. The bruises would last for a few hours, but everything else had basically healed. I was beyond grateful for Deaton’s help, but I didn’t appreciate being bathed like a dog in the sink. I mentally put that on my list of top ten most embarrassing moments.

“I don’t have a thing for him.” Lydia just smiles, making me sigh. “Okay, maybe I have a small crush on him. You can’t say anything to him,” I plead, hands clasped. She taps her chin, making my anxiety levels rise quickly, before smiling.

“I won’t say anything.” I let out a breath, not realizing that I had been holding one. “But, you’ll have to tell him eventually.” I shake my head.

“No, by the time he even has an inkling of it I’ll be over it. I don’t need a boyfriend.” Lydia stares at me, searching my face. Her eyes narrow, a suspicious gleam in the green depths of them. Suddenly they go wide with a realization.

“You’re afraid,” she says, breathless at the realization. I hang my head, refusing to make eye contact with her.

“He deserves better.” Lydia shakes her head but I continue. “What happens if I have another anxiety attack like I did last winter? What if he finds out why I was in the hospital? I don’t think I can take the look on his face if he were to find out, Lydia.” She sighs, a soft sound that nearly sets me crying. I had put my family through so much, I couldn’t do that to another person I cared about. No one deserved that kind of pain.

“What happened wasn’t your fault Evie. Bad things happen to good people, and we have to decide how to react. I admit that several of us reacted badly in the moment,” she shot a glare towards where I assume my parents may be. They did not react that well, I will admit, but I hadn’t realized everyone else knew that as well. “But that has nothing to do with you and everything to do with the quality of our character.” She studies my face, gently wiping away a tear that had fallen without me noticing. “You deserve to be happy, Evie. Especially after everything you’ve been through.”

I curl into her, using the blanket to wipe the remaining tears from my face. We stay like that for some time, not talking but enjoying each other’s company. Lydia reads quietly while I doze off, until a loud knock resonates through the house. I hear Mom saying something, but I chose to not focus too hard on it. Lydia, however, straightens up, causing my head to fall to the bed. We watch the door, and I cringe at the sound of multiple pairs of feet coming up the stairs.

Stiles is the first to burst into my room, out of breath and flannel flying out behind him like a cape. Scott and Allison are close behind him, though they enter much quieter. Lydia raises an eyebrow and stands up, stretching slightly. I turn my focus to Stiles, noticing that he had a rather large bouquet of flowers in his hands. I feel my cheeks start to burn and I glare at Lydia when I realize that the flowers are daisies, which are my absolute favorites. She just smiles at me and graciously takes them from Stiles before he can crush them anymore than he already has.

“Hi, we brought you your homework, well Allison did. I didn’t realize you were in a modern literature class, when did that become a thing and why didn’t anyone tell me? You guys are literally reading comic books.” I blink a few times, trying to keep up with his stream of speech. He spoke too quickly for my brain to handle. He smiles widely and gestures as he talks, going on about some comic book he had read a few weeks back. I tune him out and turn my attention to Scott.

“What’s going on?” I croak, my voice still not a hundred percent after screaming for so long. Peter did not have an easy time getting me to come with him, which prompted him to give me the wound on my forehead, effectively knocking me out. Scott and Allison exchange a look and Stiles finally goes quiet.

“Derek wants to talk to us. Both of us,” Scott says, his voice loud in the silent room. I narrow my eyes, considering his words.

“I don’t think he is in a position to demand anything from me. He did not help me today, and any respect or interest I had in this pack Peter is trying to create disappeared the moment he thought he could kidnap me and push me to submit to him.” I’m so angry I can feel my body shaking. Pain shoots up in my gums, signalling that I had changed. Scott raises his hands in surrender, knowing better than to fight me on this. Stiles comes closer, laying a single hand on my shoulder. Relief spreads through my body at his touch, making the fangs disappear within seconds. I don’t miss the look Scott gives me, but chose to ignore the question behind it.

“I agree with her. This Peter guy sounds like bad news and, frankly, I don’t like him at all,” Allison states. I crack a smile at that, happy she agrees with me despite not being included for so long. Lydia nods in agreement.

“The moment he took my cousin was the moment he was put on my shit list,” Lydia says. I laugh, a slightly broken sound. I clear my throat as Stiles gently squeezes my shoulder. I give him an appreciative smile, which he returns, before letting go of my shoulder. I miss it immediately but I refuse to let Lydia know how deep this crush goes by looking sad.

“You know where I stand on this Scott. And it seems like everyone kinda agrees with me,” he says. He leans towards us. “Thanks for that, by the way.” Scott just shakes his head, not seeming to upset with our verdict. I smile, glad that he agrees with us.

Everyone crowds onto my bed, Stiles dramatically flopping himself down next to me. Allison and Scott sit awkwardly on the foot of my bed while Lydia claims the small spot between Stiles and I.

“So, uh, not that I don’t love having you guys here, but is there a particular reason you’re all on my bed?” I ask, a frown making its way onto my face. I love my friends but Scott and Stiles smell like four day old gym shorts, and I really don’t want my sheets smelling like that.

“This is what is called group bonding,” Stiles points out, a grin plastered on his face. I raise an eyebrow, confused. “Well, I guess more like pack bonding, since neither you nor Scott want a piece of Peter’s fucked up one.” I laugh at that, shaking my head slightly.

“In all seriousness, we do need some sort of plan,” Allison states. “My family is still keeping things from me and I still haven’t heard the entire story of how all of this happened.”

Scott and I exchange a look, mentally trying to decide who’s better equipped to tell her the whole story. I point at Scott and he sighs, knowing that he knows more about the situation than I do. He starts at the beginning, describing the night we were both bit and what transpired after that. I input where I think there needs to be more detail, much to Stiles amusement.

“So, basically a psycho murderer is trying to get you guys to be in his pack while my family actually hunts you?” We nod our heads. “And no one thought it was important for us to know this?” I shrug, knowing that I had wanted to tell both her and Lydia immediately but was shut down by Scott. He didn’t want to freak her out, but that ship has sailed. To her credit, she seemed to be handling it very well. I reach over and grab her hand, giving it a soft squeeze.

“I know this is a lot, but I’m glad you’re here.” We share a smile, Scott looking confused as usual. I pat his knee, a slight smile still on my face. Scott may be cute but his head is totally empty. No thoughts.

We hang out for a while, just enjoying each other’s company after a very crazy semester. Lydia and Allison exchange plans for the dance, Scott complains about not being able to go, Stiles continues on his rant about comic books, and I try to keep up. We order a pizza and watch a movie, really just being normal for one night. One by one my friends start to leave, starting with Lydia. Allison is next to go and then Scott, leaving me and Stiles alone in my room. He stretches out on my bed, one arm under his head and looking completely at ease. I give him a confused look, earning me a laugh and the shake of his head.

“We agreed that until Peter is taken care of, we won’t leave you on your own.” I snort, waving a dismissive hand at him. “Hey, I can hold my own!” I outright laugh; the thought of Stiles protecting me from Peter is actually hilarious. A plan starts forming in the back of my head; I can prove that he can’t beat Peter rather easily. I stop laughing and put on a serious face. “What are you doing?” he asks rather loudly. I tilt my head at the question.

“I’m not doing anything,” I say innocently. I stand, going to my dresser to get different clothes, since I had been in the same sweater and gym shorts since arriving home. I hear Stiles get up to get his homework and that’s when I strike, moving quicker than he could process to pin him to the wall. My hands barely circle around his wrists but I keep him securely against the wall by using my newly acquired strength, my body pressed against his. I watch him swallow, a nervous look on his face and he won’t make eye contact with me. Odd. I raise an eyebrow.

“Pinned ya.” He laughs, some tension leaving his body. “Honestly though, I don’t think you’d hold up long against Peter. You can barely hold your own against me, and I’m much smaller.” I give him a triumphant smile, totally aware of my win. He takes a deep breath and I’m suddenly aware of how close we are to each other.

Against my better judgement, I lean in slightly, taking in a lungful of his scent. He smelled like the woods and gasoline and old books. His heart beats quickly, almost too quickly for what little activity we had done. I allow myself to just look at him, my eyes tracing his face and I let myself be amazed by the pattern of moles that litter his face. I rarely let myself focus too long on his face, afraid of what I may find in his eyes. Going on my tiptoes, I let go of one wrist to cup his cheek, brushing my thumb against his cheekbone. Stiles’ eyes close, a sigh emitting from deep in his chest. He wraps one arm around me, a half hug that forces me to lower my hand. I allow him to escape completely from my hold so he can wrap the other arm around me.

“Evie,” he whispers. I shake my head, knowing that whatever he’s about to say can wait. For right now, I just want to be held. As I lay my head on his chest, the music that had been playing for most of the day switching to something slow. Stiles starts to sway, in that awkward way boys do when you’re supposed to slow dance. His chin rests on the top of my head and we stay like that for a long time. Eventually, the music changes and we pull away, his eyes opening when my hand cups his cheek again.

I search his expression, hoping that maybe, just maybe, he feels even a kernel of what I feel. Desperately, I search but come up with nothing. Stiles’ face gives no inclination that what just happened was meaningful in any way, shape or form. I pull myself farther away, the beginnings of tears in my eyes. He reaches for me, but I slip out of his grasp. Gathering my courage, I put on a happy face when I turn to him.

“I appreciate the thought, but I think I can take care of myself.” Stiles frowns, not understanding my change in emotion.

“Are you sure? I don’t want you to feel unsafe.” I wave my hand, dismissing his worry with a smile on my face. On the inside, I’m screaming at him to leave and to never come near me again. But I can’t do that. Even though it’s torture, I would much rather have him close to me than to be separated.

“I’ll be fine. Don’t worry,” I say with a bright smile. He nods, packing up his stuff before finally leaving. I fall onto my bed, desperately trying to keep the tears in. No boy is worth crying over, I harshly remind myself. But, a few tears slip from my eyes and once those are free, the rest come rushing out. Soon, I’m a blubbering, disgusting mess. The stress from today hits me all at once, dissolving me into more tears until I have no tears left.

I wipe at my eyes, curling into myself. I calm myself down enough to call Isaac, my hands shaking as I hit the call button next to his name. He answers on the fourth ring, sleep coating his voice.

“Hey what’s up?” I sigh, and he must hear something sad about it since he snaps immediately into action. “I can be at your house in fifteen, there’s definitely some place still open for a milkshake. Be ready.” I laugh softly, already feeling better.

“See you in fifteen,” I say before hanging up.

When Isaac says fifteen, he means it. By the time I had put on heavier clothes and shoes, he was waiting patiently outside, his dad’s car still running. I hurry outside, not bothering to tell my parents where I was headed. They trust Isaac, for whatever reason. He opens his arms and I rush into them, inhaling the smell of freshly mowed grass and the citrus scent of his cologne. Issac holds me close and I feel the last of the tension in my body be released, everything melting away. We head towards the car, a small smile on his face.

“What?” I ask.

“Nothing, you just look like shit,” he says with a smirk. I give him the bird, making him laugh. We both get into the car and I scrunch my nose up at the smell of it. His dad’s scent is everywhere and it kind of makes me want to vomit. It reeks of chlorine and dried blood. Isaac looks over at me, a grimace on his face. “I know it smells bad but I didn’t really wanna ride my bike all the way here.” At that I laugh, the smell forgotten.

The drive to the nearest diner doesn’t take long and we talk the entire time, the chatter keeping me together. Once inside, Isaac orders us milkshakes (mine chocolate and his strawberry because he’s an odd man) and we sit in our regular booth, three from the front door. While we wait, we talk about school and our plans for the dance. Everything with Isaac is so easy and simple. We never run out of things to talk about and he doesn’t seem to mind that I don’t tell all of every story. He does the same, so it’s hard to be a hypocrite with that sort of thing.

Seeking comfort, I reach across the table and grab his hand. Without thinking, he immediately starts gently rubbing circles on my hand with his thumb, a familiar action between us. And to think, a few months ago I was worried about making friends. I sigh, balancing my head on my other hand. Something has to be done about my crush on Stiles, but what? He’s obviously not into me the way I’m into him. Then, I remember how he reacted when Lydia brought up Isaac yesterday in the mall. His face held an intense amount of jealousy, something I had never seen him wear around Lydia and Jackson. A plan starts to form in my head, something I’m not sure will work but I’m willing to try. Things couldn’t get worse.

“I have a question for you,” I say as the waitress sets our milkshakes down in front of us.

“Shoot,” he says, letting go of my hand to put a straw in his shake. I gather my courage, deciding that if he says no, it won’t be that big of a deal. I watch him tear the wrapper off the straw, taking a deep drink of his pink monstrosity, and take a deep breath, deciding it’s now or never.

“Do you have feelings for me?” I blurt out. Isaac chokes on his shake, coughing slightly. I furrow my eyebrows and hand him a few napkins to clean himself up with. His shirt is covered in ice cream, which would usually set me laughing but I held it in, just to save him embarrassment. I’m such a good friend.

“I’m sorry what?” he asks once his coughing is under control. I play with a piece of my hair, suddenly worried about this very, very stupid plan of mine.

“Do you have feelings for me? Like, in a romantic sense?” Isaac narrows his eyes at me, a befuddled look on his face. If this wasn’t so serious, I may have laughed. “I’m being serious, Isaac. Do you have any sort of romantic feelings towards me? Yes or no?”

“Uh, no?” he says. I nod, somewhat pleased with his answer. I kind of figured he didn’t like me in that way, but it would definitely make the next part of my plan a little easier on the both of us.

“So, I have recently discovered that I have a…” I pause, searching for the right word to describe how I felt about Stiles. “Infatuation? Crush? I’m not sure.” Issac holds up a hand.

“It’s not on me is it? Because I see you as more of a sister…” I laugh, shaking my head. He sighs, relieved that I’m not into him in that way either.

“No, definitely not on you. I have a mild crush on Stiles.” He makes a face at me. “Yes, I know he loves Lydia but I have a plan.” I tell him all about our shopping trip and how when Lydia mentioned him, Stiles seemed to get jealous. I describe what happened before I called him and my plan of how to get Stiles to be interested in me.

“Hold on. You want to use me to make Stiles jealous?” he asks. I nod, confused as to what part of my plan he was confused about. “Stiles is jealous of me?” I nod slower this time. Isaac smiles, a proud look on his face. “Stiles is jealous of me.” I roll my eyes; boys.

“Yeah, don’t go getting a big head about it.” He laughs and I crack a smile. Isaac agrees to my ridiculous plan, after very little convincing may I add, and even adds his own take on things. I am impressed with his dedication to my half thought out plan and I know that anything Issac does will drive Stiles insane. We finish our shakes and head out, the smell of chlorine nearly suffocating me in the car once again. The drive home is filled with me bouncing in my seat and Issac singing along with the radio.

Once back at my house, Isaac walks me up to my front door and bids me good night. At this point it’s basically midnight and I’m exhausted. Just going up the stairs to my room takes a lot out of me, exhaustion hitting at the top of the stairs. I collapse onto my bed, still wearing the clothes I had borrowed from Stiles. My sleep is dreamless and deep, and I’m thankful for it.

The next morning, Isaac is there to pick me up, yet again with his dad’s car. I made sure to dress warm, in a black turtleneck and jeans, because the heater in the car did not work. Which is unfortunate for everyone involved, because the chlorine smell did not get pushed around and Isaac refused to put any of the windows down. I rush outside, hair still half wet from my shower and instantly regret not blow drying it. It wasn’t cold per say but the chilly wind definitely did not feel good blowing through my hair.

“Ready to make Stilinski jealous?” he says smiling. I nod, a grin settling on my face. Confidence settles into my bones and sets my face into a permanent smirk. Isaac has a matching one plastered onto his face and I know that this will work.

School goes fairly normally. Isaac and I get a few stares, most focusing on our linked hands and his arm slung casually around my waist. Things are going smoothly, almost too smoothly. We sit on our own at lunch, heads bent over our math homework, Isaac trying to help me figure out a few difficult equations. He sneaks a kiss on my cheek and I allow myself to blush, knowing he did it to sell it to my friends, who are gawking at us from across the lunch room. I look up from my book and meet Stiles stare, a smile on my face. He quickly looks away, embarrassment leaking from him. I turn towards Isaac, leaning into him a little.

“Do you think he’s buying it?” I whisper. Isaac nods, laughing quietly and dipping his head to look back down at his notebook. We eat quickly and start moving towards our next class when Lydia approaches us.

“Evie, I didn’t know you had it in you,” she says, a smirk on her face. Isaac pauses, making me stop as well.

“Have what in me?” I ask innocently. There’s a proud gleam in her eye as she leans towards me.

“You’re going to have him wrapped around your little finger before the month is over.” I laugh, blushing slightly. “Seriously. He can’t stop talking about how much he doesn’t like Isaac.” She turns towards the man in question. “You should probably watch your back though. I’ve heard lots of upset people today. Evie had more admirers than anyone thought.” With that, she flips her hair and walks off, leaving a confused Isaac in her wake.

“That answers my question then,” I say with a laugh. He just shakes his head and grabs my hand, ready to face more stares.

The rest of our day goes by quickly and Lydia insists that I attend lacrosse practice. The temp has dropped by then but I still feel comfortable in just my sweater. I had purchased a pair of glasses without a prescription to maintain my image, even though my eyesight had perfected itself after becoming a werewolf. My glasses had clouded up on several occasions while waiting for the boys to appear from the gym. Lydia wraps a blanket around herself, not used to the cool weather. I tease her relentlessly for it, but she maintains that it’s a necessary thing.

“Why are we here again? You aren’t dating Jackson anymore, doesn’t that let you off the hook for these things?” I ask, still confused as to why we’re here. She sighs, a puff of white air coming from her mouth.

“You should be here, as Isaac’s girlfriend. I’m just here to reinforce that idea and because I enjoy spending time with my cousin.” She turns her bright smile onto me. I sigh, knowing that she’s right. “Besides, these guys don’t really have a lot of support right now, especially since it’s so cold out. No one wants to come and watch when they could be at home.”

“You’re not wrong.” I turn fully towards her. I pause for a second before asking what’s been eating at me since lunch. “So, what has Stiles been saying?” She laughs, shaking her head and making me smile. Having a crush is kind of nice when you can share it with your friends.

“He doesn’t understand how Issac managed to land a girlfriend before him,” she says. I make a face, knowing that if he pulled his head out of his ass for a few minutes he’d be able to see that I was right in front of him. Lydia just nods, as if not understanding him either. “He’s so wrapped up in Isaac having a girlfriend that he hasn’t fully processed that you’re the girlfriend.” Lydia turns to me, a sly look on her face. “So, what happened last night? Stiles refuses to tell us why he left your house but something must have happened between you two for you to go to Issac for help.”

I sigh, deciding to tell her the full story. With every word she becomes more and more outraged at Stiles reaction. By the time I’m done, her face has gone completely red with anger. I have to hide my laugh behind my hand.

“HE’s an absolute idiot! Those were clear signs and he just ignored them!” she exclaims, gaining the attention of Coach, who turns to look at us. We just wave and he goes back to ordering the boys to do sprints. I sigh, upset again at what had transpired.

“He’s too in love with you to notice anyone else, unfortunately,” I say, sadness lacing my voice. Lydia narrows her eyes, clearly not aware of how Stiles looks at her. I huff; of course she doesn’t see it, she barely knew who he was before all of this. “He just doesn’t see me in that way.”

“Yet,” she says. “This plan of yours is going perfectly so far and I think that the winter formal is the perfect time to put the last nail in his coffin.” I tilt my head, confused by what she’s implying. “We are going to make you so hot that no boy will be able to resist you.” I laugh; should have seen that one coming. “Come on, let’s ditch this popsicle stand. I think it’s time for a bit of makeover.” She stands, pulling me with her. I wave at Isaac, blowing a kiss in his direction to really seal the deal. He waves back and I watch Stiles glare at him. Interesting.

Come to find out, ‘a bit of a makeover’ actually meant a complete makeover. She found the perfect dye to give my strawberry blonde hair a bit more punch to it, making it a more vibrant red shade. We went to a salon to have my eyebrows waxed and reshaped, as well as to get haircuts, Lydia deciding to do a bit of refreshing herself. Lydia led me around a few stores, picking out a few new outfits that I could wear this spring, or as she liked to call them ‘man catching clothes’. She insisted that they would drive Stiles crazy and who was I to deny her? Hell, we even got our nails done.

We dyed my hair in my bathroom, trying our best to not make a mess, which was a total fail. I’ll have red dye on my floor until I’m eighty. Lydia steals a bottle of wine from my parents liquor cabinet and we get a little wine drunk. At one point Lydia calls Allison and we all end up sprawled out on my floor, Dirty Dancing playing in the background.

“So, what’s Scott like in bed?” Lydia asks suddenly. I hit her with a pillow, directly in the face. “Hey!”

“Too soon Lyds!” I exclaim, while Allison laughs.

“No, no I can answer,” she says. We gossip like that for hours, sharing stories and just having fun with each other. No boys, no craziness, nothing to ruin our perfect day. Both decide to stay over, since it was Friday and I’m happy for the company. Keeps me from being sad about how my life has decided to go. We watch movies and just relax for once.

The next day is the winter formal and Lydia insists on helping Allison and I get ready. She curls my hair, pinning in places where I’ll forget there are pins and helping Allison apply a rather dramatic eyeshadow look. We all get dressed together, taking pictures as we go, making sure to document this happy time, especially since we don’t know when we’ll have a chance to feel normal again. The flash from the camera triggers my eyesight, making them glow in every picture but neither girl seems to notice or care.

The boys all pick us up at my house, where we make them wait in my living room while each one of us makes an entrance, at Lydia’s request. Allison goes first, with no reaction from Jackson, unsurprisingly. He’s such a piece of work. I bet I could take him in a fight. Break his fragile jaw in a single punch. The confidence those thoughts give me does not last. I go next, nervously smoothing out the fabric of my skirt and barely able to breathe thanks to Lydia pulling the corset strings exceedingly tight.

I make it down the stairs without tripping, thankfully. I hear an intake of breath and I look up from the stairs to see Stiles staring at me, open mouthed. Isaac glares at him, before turning a smile to me. I do my best to focus only on Isaac, smiling and spinning a little to show off the back. Hearing a soft gulp, I turn towards Stiles again, a smirk on my face, the confidence coming back almost immediately at his face.

“You’re drooling Stilinski,” Jackson states, making me laugh. The only time he will ever say something humorous. Stiles immediately snaps his mouth shut and steals glances at me everyone once in a while. Lydia descends rather quickly but he keeps looking at me. I do my best to ignore him, instead focusing on fixing Isaac’s tie.

After fixing his tie, I go on my tiptoes to kiss his cheek, leaving a near perfect impression of my lips there in the dark red lipstick Lydia had applied. I can feel Stiles’ stare on my back and can hear his heartbeat quicken. My parents snap a few pictures of all of us, everyone complaining about it.

We leave quickly after that, Stiles following us in his Jeep. The dance itself goes off without a hitch. Isaac and I dance, trying to ignore the fact that Stiles eventually gets Lydia to dance with him and the jealousy that comes with seeing her pressed so closely to him. I know she doesn’t like him, but it still hurts. Scott sneaks in at some point, dances with Danny, and then proclaims his love for Allison before they both disappear, presumably to go make out somewhere. Jackson also disappears mid-way through and doesn’t reappear. Not long after that, Lydia leaves to go find him with Stiles trailing after her like a lost puppy. I push aside my irritation at him to focus on helping my cousin find her awful ex.

“Hey, maybe we should go help Lydia find Jackson,” I yell over the music. Isaac nods, a grim look on his face, which does nothing to curb my approaching anxiety.

We make our way out of the school when a blood curdling scream comes from the practice field. Panic crawls up my spine; that was distinctly Lydia. Without a look towards Isaac, I start sprinting towards it, following the scent of fear and Chanel perfume that laces the air. I get there right as Stiles starts to leave with Peter, Lydia’s body bleeding profusely from multiple wounds. I stop, partially not wanting Peter to see me, but also out of pure terror.

It takes them a few moments to leave completely, and I feel Isaac come up beside me, breathing heavily. Once they are completely out of sight and I can no longer hear Stiles’ heartbeat, I dart onto the field, Isaac close behind me. I kneel down next to my cousin and check her pulse, fighting back the terror I feel in my stomach. Peter did a real number on her; her dress is torn and blood is leaking steadily from a bite on her shoulder. There’s blood everywhere, streaked across her face and other shoulder. I have to listen very closely, but I can hear her heart beating. I let out a soft sob of relief at the noise.

I hear Jackson run up behind us; Stiles must have called him to come get her. Paying the boys no attention, I manage to lift Lydia off the ground, carrying her towards the school. A deadly calm settles over me, replacing the usual panic.

“Isaac, call my mom. Jackson, call 911.” Both nod at my directions, heading in opposite directions to make their calls. After he’s done, Jackson heads towards where I’m standing with Lydia and tries to take her from my arms. “I’ve got it handled,” I growl at him, flashing my eyes. He takes several steps back, a look of terror on his face.

Isaac pays no attention to us, having a very heated discussion with my mom that I do my best to tune out. I turn towards the school, walking slowly so as to not cause any more harm to Lydia’s already broken body.

It takes the ambulance ten minutes to reach the school and take my cousin from my arms. I ride in the back with her, since I was the only relative present at the time. I hold her hand the entire ride to the hospital, managing to keep my tears in check by listening to the rise and fall of her heartbeat. As they hurry her inside, I finally let myself fall apart, that calm disappearing entirely. The tears came quick and hot, ruining whatever makeup was still left on my face. A nurse led me to an empty waiting room, got me a bottle of water and a chocolate bar, and just sat with me until my tears stopped.

“Lydia is a strong girl, I know she’ll be okay,” she said. I nod, wondering how she knows Lydia. She must see the confusion on my face because she adds, “I’m Melissa McCall, Scott’s mom. You’re Evie right? He talks about you all the time. You and Stiles are the main reasons he’s not failing more classes.” I feel my face go hot; Scott was the last person I expected to actually enjoy my company. She smiles and hands me a tissue from her scrubs pocket. “Here.” I take it, loudly blowing my nose and wiping my eyes, feeling much less panicked about the whole ordeal.

“Thank you,” I say quietly. She wraps an arm around me, pulling me into an awkward sitting hug. Melissa lets me go after a few moments, clearing her throat.

“I have some extra clothes if you want to change out of your dress.” I look down and nearly vomit at the sight of my ruined dress. Lydia’s blood had dried in the fabric, the bodice was covered in it. How I hadn’t noticed before now was astounding. I nod and Melissa takes me to a locker room in the basement of the hospital. She digs out a pair of clean scrubs and hands them to me. “There’s a shower around the corner if you’d like to freshen up. I have a feeling it might be awhile before anyone is allowed to see her.”

“What about my dress?” I ask, picking at the material of the skirt. I would be sad if we had to discard it; it really had been the perfect dress. Melissa taps her chin a few times, thinking.

“Let me see what I can do,” she says with a smile. I nod and head towards the shower, peeling the blood soaked dress off and laying it gingerly on a nearby bench for Melissa to collect while I washed myself off.

I struggle with the faucet for a few moments, not understanding which way to turn it to get the hot water flowing. Once I got it figured out, I spent several minutes just standing under it, letting the hot water relax my tense muscles. I do my best to not let the events of the evening replay, to just focus on right now. I scrub off the dried blood that leaked through my dress and try to forget about how it got there and who it belonged to. My mind wanders as I gently wash my face free of any traces of makeup and turn off the water to see that Melissa had taken my dress and replaced it with a clean towel. I gratefully dry myself off and dress in the scrubs she had given me.

I emerge from the locker room more tired than I had been when I went in. I take the elevator up to where the waiting room is, barefooted and holding my heels in my hand. Leaning against the back wall of the elevator, I watch the numbers rise as it passes each floor, the soft bell noise calming my frayed nerves. When the doors open, I pull myself away from the wall and exit. Turning the corner into the waiting room, the yelling match happening finally hits my ears, making me wince, immediately recognizing the voices as my aunt and uncle. Lydia’s mom and dad argue all the time, and, despite their daughter being in the hospital, this is no different. They scream about who’s fault it is, who’s going to pay the hospital bills, where she’s going to go after she’s let out, everything that didn’t matter right now.

I sigh and collapse into a chair as far away from them as I could. They had divorced a few years back, to no one’s surprise. Lydia’s mom, my aunt, is kind and loves Lydia with her whole heart, but marriage had never sat well with her. She wasn’t domestic and Lydia’s dad hated that. They fought all the time, to the point that even Lydia could see the cracks in their relationship before their separation was even announced. I don’t think she ever processed it thoroughly.

Eventually they quieted down and I heard her dad leave, slamming the door as he went. My aunt collapsed down next to me and I turned my tired eyes towards her. She looks a lot like my mom, though Mom has fewer worry lines around her emerald eyes. Natalie had aged well but she looked tired, it was evident in her eyes.

“Thank you for…” she pauses, swallowing. Her eyes go glossy with tears. “For everything. I don’t know what I would have done if she had… if she had died.” I nod, lacing my fingers with her own and squeezing. She squeezes back and wipes her eyes with her other hand.

“She’s going to be okay,” I whisper. She nods, though neither of us are sure of anything anymore. Natalie nods again, relaxing further into the chair and closing her eyes. I do the same, hoping that maybe sleep will find us and grant us an escape from the mess we are in.

Evaluation

I feel like my research has strongly inspired and motivated my designs throughout this project, I feel like many of my layouts have chosen the best parts of each of the layouts I looked at and incorporated it in my design. Also, all my illustrations are very similar to Zoi Roupakia and, Andrew Turtsevych style, I also had an image that was similar to Thomas Danthony landscape illustration.

My project has had some dramatic changes through the process of my project to get to the final result I have now. I found it interesting looking back at my previous pages and seeing the development, practically my third and fifth spread has changed a lot throughout the process however I would still say they are my least favorite spreads as I feel like they are too simplistic even tho I did experiment a lot with them I think if I had more time I would be able to found a way to make them more interesting and unique. When I first produced my third spread I was unsure of what to do and used red boxes on all of my ideas which I later removed as it was taking away from the text and illustrations. I then tried using a picture with a red fade over it however this looked too complicated and confusing for the reader. Final I took away everything and made a simple spread with only my text and illustration which look clean and allowed people to read the text and not feel overwhelmed. The development of my illustrations has played a vital part in the quality of my book as over time I had added and changed details in all of them whilst working on the layout I spot things I could change to improve them and I am very proud of all of them. I added the red color to all of them which were all originally black before developing, I feel this decision has improved my illustrations making them more interesting resulting in the book as a whole improving. Overall since the start of my book, I have made many big changes and these have all been useful to allow me to reach my end result.

I felt at the start of unit I manged my time well and kept on track getting all my work done and I was ahead for the most part. However, because I was ahead midway through the unit I became lazier and started to relax, this was not good as I started to full behind. Although I had completed the most part of my book I neglected a lot of the written work and forgot to catch up on a lot of blog posts like the workshop. During the last week of the unit, I realized this and had to really put my head down to catch up on everything. Next time I am going to be more cautious with my time and keep an eye on throughout the unit and not full behind again like I did this time.

After every tutorial, I took into mind all the feedback and made adjustments from what I was told. I felt the feedback was very helpful as it allowed me to get someone's option who has not seen my book before, as I have been looking at it throughout the process it is easy to miss mistakes. I also found the group tutorials helpful as I could use all the helpfull criticisms from them to create the best product I possibly could produce. I agreed with almost all the feedback I received and found it all very helpful and interesting to see other people's views.

I feel like I could improve my Indesign skills as I felt that was where I was weakest at in my project. This was because I have not used this software before I came to uni however I am pleased with how quickly I picked it up and would like to continue to practice using the software as I really enjoyed using it and think it will be helpful to develop my skills for my future projects.

I have learned a lot in this unit, I've developed my skills in all the different pieces of software that I have used throughout the process of my book. I learned to use Indesign and now I can use it fairly confidently. Although I have used Illustrator and Photoshop before I have increased my knowledge and was able to learn a lot when creating my book. Not only have I learned how to use the software I've learned a lot about typography which I find very interesting and would like to implement my skills in other projects. I think learning about layout was the most helpful part of the unit as this has allowed me to further understand what goes into making a book and how to do it correctly.

I think there are a few improvements I could do in my book although I am proud of it I feel like I could rework a few spreads like the third and fifth spread to improve them, I do not think these pages are bad but I feel like they could be better. I also think the title on the first spread should be smaller like the subtitles on all the other spread, I think this would improve the flow of my book and would all the pages to match up. Although there are a few things I could improve I am still happy with how my book has turned out this is because of the dramatic change in the quality of my work throughout the process of my project. Overall this project has helped me improve many of my skills and I have enjoyed the whole process although stressful at times I am glad I have finished it and I am happy with my result.

In a recent series of virtual PILMMA Mastermind Meetings I couldn’t help but notice that many of our Masterminds were raising the same question: When do I need to hire an Office Manager? This is a great question and since so many of our Masterminds are asking this question, I thought it would be helpful to cover this topic in a blog.

The quick answer to when you should hire an office manager is this: It depends on the size of your firm and to some extent on how organized your firm is already. Meaning, if you already have strong and detailed policies and systems in place that streamline internal workings of the firm, you can probably wait a little longer to hire an office manager than if you do not have these measures in place.

Throughout the years of growing my own firms and helping other lawyers grow theirs, I’ve observed the following general rule: Most firms probably need to hire an Office Manager once they have between 20 and 25 employees. Realistically, by the time your firm gets to this size, there are just too many administrative tasks that need to get done regularly and the tasks are too time consuming for other employees to be working on them catch as catch can, between their other responsibilities. And at this stage, you need to take administrative tasks off your plate so you can deal more concertedly with your firm’s big picture.

To help decide whether your firm is ready for an office manager, it helps to think about the various tasks an Office Manager typically handles. What does a law firm office manager do? They are usually placed in charge of the following:

All human resources- including maintaining employee records, assisting with hiring, tracking, and overseeing staff sick, vacation, and flex time, dealing with employee issues and office drama, etc.

Facility Management- Ordering Office Supplies, coordinating equipment installation and servicing, overseeing the kitchen, coordinating the use of conference rooms and facilities, etc.

Organize Meetings, and Company Gatherings, Events and Conferences

Supervise and Monitor Staff Workflow and quality

Help in Implementing and Maintaining Firm Policies, Procedures and Systems

Mange the Firm’s Database

Work with the Bookkeeping or Accounting Staff or Outsourced Personnel to ensure budgets are in place and followed, etc.

A sure-fire way to determine if your firm needs to hire an Office Manager is if you realize your critical Team Leadership is spending significant time working on the activities outlined above, to the detriment of their own job duties. IF so, it’s definitely time to bring in an office manager. If you are also used to handling many of these responsibilities yourself and find that you are routinely having to stay at your office working past 5pm, then it’s also time to get an Office Manager.

Many firms are reluctant to take the plunge and hire an office manager, thinking that somehow the work keeps getting done- But once you have 20-25 employees, all these administrative tasks start to really add up. They inevitably take your staff away form the income producing work that they need to be doing , or you are spending far too much time handling things matters on your own, when your time would be better spent working “on” your law practice.

In conclusion, I suggest you ask yourself these three questions:

Do I have over 20 Employees?

Is my leadership staff spending more than 10-15 percent of their time managing administrative work?

Am I routinely staying later and later at the office in order to take care of administrative tasks that could be delegated to an office manager?

If you answer yes to at least 2 out of 3 of these questions, then it’s time to hire an Office Manager. Once you have done so, your staff can focus on the money-making work they need to do, and you can focus on shaping the vision for your firm’s growth and success that will allow you to take your firm to the next level.

Doing Well by Doing Good: Law Firm Social Responsibility

Corporations increasingly subscribe to the principle of corporate social responsibility. CSR is based on the belief that a demonstration of concern for the environment, human rights, community development and the welfare of their employees can make a corporation more profitable. And if not more profitable, at least a better place to work.

Law firms can learn from corporate experience to create their own social responsibility programs. Such programs can help law firms to do well by doing good. They can strengthen the firm’s reputation and market position. They can help the firm identify with the culture and CSR activities of clients and potential clients. They can help lawyers and staff find more meaning in their work and improve as human beings.

A panel discussion about how law firms can learn about CSR and introduce some of its elements into their own models was sponsored by the Rocky Mountain Chapter of the Legal Marketing Association. The program was held May 8 at Maggiano’s Little Italy in downtown Denver.

At law firms, the product is the people – the lawyers and support staff who provide high quality legal services like Trademark Registration in Islamabad. It is an easy fit. There are many ways that this ‘product’ can contribute time, talent and treasure to socially responsible activities.

Social responsibility: Focus and strategy

Law firm social responsibility is all about making a difference within the community and the profession, and within a firm. Even the best efforts will make no impact if spread too thin. You cannot maximize the value of your contributions or tell your story if your efforts are too diluted. To decide how to most effectively invest its resources, a law firm needs a social responsibility focus and a strategy.

Social responsibility efforts must be authentic. Law firms and other entities should always avoid ‘green-washing’ – telling a story that is aspirational, but not really true. Know yourself. Let your firm’s unique culture and skills determine which efforts to pursue and which to avoid.

When examining your culture, don’t limit yourself to partner input. Law firms are small communities, almost like families. Any effort to define culture and social responsibility should represent not only the interests of lawyers, but the interests of all levels of support staff. Efforts must be meaningful throughout the firm. The benefits to employee recruitment, retention and satisfaction can be remarkable.

DeBoskey outlined three types of community involvement and stated his belief that a good social responsibility plan includes elements of all three.

In a traditional model, an organization ‘gives back’ randomly to the community when asked – as a good citizen, rather than for any strategic purposes. In a social responsibility model, these efforts align with the capabilities of the business – like the legal skills of lawyers. Every non-profit needs legal advice.

A strong focus makes it much easier to make decisions. AR & Co, for example, focuses its charitable giving strategy on issues surrounding its product — natural gas. Brownstein will donate money only if the request comes from a client, or if one of their attorneys is a member of the organization and on the board.

Law firms looking for additional advice can find valuable resources within the Corporate Community Investment Network. CCIN is an association for professionals whose primary responsibility is to manage community investment programs in a for-profit business setting.

Many corporations and a few law firms have actually created separate foundations to mange some of their giving. A foundation comes with more restrictions and different tax methods. As entities with a life of their own, however, foundations are more likely than one-off efforts to continue a useful existence.

Social responsibility: Good policies make good decisions

Strategy and focus provide the foundation for an effective social responsibility policy. Most law firms are inundated with requests from good causes asking for their support. A policy helps you know when to say “yes” to and when to say “no.”

In the law firm model, where all partners are owners with a sense of entitlement to resources, it can be very difficult to say no. A keenly focused policy makes it much easier to do so and keep the firm’s efforts on track.

AR & Co, for example, uses a five-step tool to determine the level of fit between a request and the company’s strategic goals in the field of natural gas – with level five being the largest commitment and level one the lowest.

Level five efforts integrate core product or service and often involve natural gas vehicles and energy efficiency initiatives using natural gas. These efforts contribute to best practices and leading trends in the industry, while enhancing the company’s reputation as a leader.

Level four efforts focus on strategic partnerships and often involve sustainable and long-term solutions like workforce development initiatives, signature programs (which can be repeated in other markets) and multi-year grants.

Level three efforts include strategic grants to assist with projects, programs or initiatives made to local non-profits aligned with natural gas.

Level two efforts include responsive giving, which is a one-time gift for a broad community effort that has local support. Participation of company representatives is required.

Level one efforts include the “t-shirt and banner” category, which contains one-day items like dinners, receptions, golf tournaments, events and races. These offer the least impact and awareness for the money, and therefore the least support.

At Brownstein, requests made to the firm are judged by two factors. The firm considers only requests made by clients and requests made by organizations where one of its attorneys participates at the board level.

Social responsibility: Engagement

Effective social responsibility programs involve not only checkbook involvement, but personal and professional involvement.

At Brownstein, the brand has always been about being out in the community. Six years ago, Venturi was asked to formalize this essential component of the firm’s culture into a social responsibility program that would further energize lawyers.

She started by spending 15 minutes with each of the attorneys, to discover their passions – which were used to identify a good non-profit match. After all, lawyers and staff will stay involved and do their best only when an organization is something that they care deeply about. If there is no engagement, the placement will backfire.

Finally, Venturi offers the lawyer’s services to the non-profit in some capacity – but it must be at the board level. Otherwise, she won’t make the match.

Project Karma is a Brownstein program dedicated to volunteer opportunities, and maintains a committee in each of the firm’s 12 offices. It sponsors informal lunch & learn presentations by local non-profits to encourage interest.

The message about active engagement by lawyers and staff must come from the top. Brownstein makes it very clear that the path to partnership for a new attorney is based not only on legal skills, but also on engagement and involvement with the community.

It is important to add a community involvement component to lawyer reviews, even if it is only one goal a year. That lets the lawyers know that you are serious. The Colorado Supreme Court asks every lawyer in to contribute 50 hours of pro bono work each year. Integrating these programs leads to win/win results for the firm.

Not every firm can match the efforts of a large company like AR & CO law firm in Islamabad. However, there are good matches for firms of every size. Once again, it is all a matter of focus.

Smaller law firms can also multiply its impact by partnering with others in an industry, like vendors or clients, to support a particular non-profit.

Social responsibility: Return on investment

Corporations measure the results of their social responsibility programs, and use these results to make decisions on efforts going forward. Law firms should do the same.

At the end of the year, AR & Co uses its five-level model (outline above) to analyze our charitable giving. How much was given at each level? Then the company sends a form to each non-profit, asking the recipient to evaluate outcomes (statistics for what was accomplished), process (did efforts meet the intended audience) and impact (what difference did it make).

AR & Co asks recipients to reply within 60 days, and uses this information to calculate return on investment. Those who do not report back are not eligible for further contributions. The non-profits might gripe at first, but they seem to change their minds once they’ve been through the process – finding that it has useful strategic value.

It is entirely appropriate to ask a non-profit to document the results they’ve achieved based on your contribution. It lets them know that you are truly invested in the organization. They will see you more as partners and engage you differently.

Most corporations have created and benefited from well-thought-through and strategic social responsibility programs. Law firms are starting to do the same. A program with tight focus and strict guidelines guarantees maximum impact and awareness in exchange for a law firm’s commitment of time, talent and treasure.

World of Warcraft PvP and Arena

Anyone new to PvP (Player versus Player) and Arena in World of Warcraft can be daunting. There are a number of things you need to know that are important to improvement and success in the arena.

Before entering into the arena, it's important to identify the talents and honour talents for your specialisation and class. Identify the best talents for certain situations. Honour Talents are separate from the normal talents. You want to identify your azerite traits, including haste, versatility and mastery. You want the best gear for PvP, which determines the damage and healing you will achieve.

There are two compositions in the arena, defensive and offensive. This is determined by the composition you play, you will need a strategy to win. Offensive compositions should have a strategy to be aggressive and maintain momentum early on in the game, making the other team find it hard to recover Offensive versus defensive compositions are on a timer, the longer the game goes on for, the harder it gets for the opponents to secure a win until they cannot continue. You will need to keep the pressure on them to ensure they lose momentum in the game.

Defensive compositions want to survive an enemy attack until the offensive players cannot keep up with the pressure and lose momentum. This can be achieved by having your team peel during enemy goes. Peeling an be done by maintaining crowd control. Defensive compositions aim to be disruptive in order to open gaps in the enemy team crowd control.

Diminishing Returns or DR I a mechanic that makes it a crowd control effect, that becomes less effective the more it is used in a certain time frame. The categories of DR includes disorient, incapacitate, stun, silence, fear and root. Target starts without any diminishing returns, which means any crowd control can be used for the full duration.

After the first crowd control any further control over the same category will have three diminishing returns; fifty percent crowd control will sit for half the duration, seventy five percent will sit for a quarter of the duration and one hundred percent will be immune to that particular category of crowd control. DR's are tracked on an eighteen second duration, which means that after a player has not been targeted within a category of crowd control for eighteen seconds, the next one of the category will sit full, the cycle continues to repeat itself. There is a diminishing control tracker that you can use to mange the returns.

Dampening is used in arenas to reduce the risk of matches lasting too long or ending in a draw. Dampening reduces how effective healing and absorptions are by one percent per stack. Once dampening comes into play, every ten seconds, players receive an extra stack, until they reach one hundred percent.

Each class has its own crowd control, which is determined by the situation. This can be used as a defence or offence. Teams are able to get crowd controls on multiple people at the same time, forcing more from the energy team. Some of the classes have utility spells that they can use to assist their team.

Communication is essential to do well in the arena. You can make your set-ups cleaner and reduce chances of overlapping cool downs, it can help to reduce the risk of losses. Ensure you keep your team updated on the cool downs you have, both offense and defence. Communication ensures your team can assist you.

It was love- Tyler Bate

Here you were sat backstage at a WWE Live event in your hometown of Birmingham in England. You sat there twiddling your thumbs as you waited for Pete to come get you. Sitting there highly star struck from the countless WWE superstars that walked past you, you felt like a kid in a sweet shop, you wanted to ask every individual for a picture and autograph. However tempted you were you had to remind yourself that you were here on professional terms even though Pete Dunne was a very close friend of yours as you’d grown up with him. You were so proud of how far he’d come and admittedly you claimed to be his biggest fan. Your parents had always dreamed of you becoming a successful lawyer or world famous brain surgeon yet here you were with your portfolio of artwork you’d created especially for Pete and the British Strong Style boys. Majoring in an art degree, Pete had given you this opportunity making this your first big break for your art to be seen worldwide.

“Look boys, I’ve got this girl ‘ere and she’s amazing at art ‘onestly. You’ll be blown ‘way by it. Her art on our merch will be mint.” Pete’s enthusiasm was high as he tried to sell you to Tyler and Trent. Tyler being the quieter member of the group nodded whilst twisting his moustache whereas Trent was having a hard time being persuaded.

“I dunno Pete, I mean I thought we were ‘appy with our merch?” Trent wrapped his towel around his neck as the trio walked, Pete leading them to meet you. Tyler again nodded in agreement and pointed to Trent as if to say he was making a good point. Pete grunted and snarled his upper lip before getting in the middle of Trent and Tyler and slinging an arm over their shoulders. You sat up in your seat as you saw the trio walking down the hallway, you jumped out your seat and patted down you skater skirt. As they reached closer you smiled politely and picked up your folder of designs.

“Well, you’ll have to learn to like her cause I gave her the job” Pete whispered before breaking away from the formation and giving you a hug.

“YOU DID WHAT?” Trent shouted stopping dead in his tracks. That’s when your smile faded and your eyes scanned across Trent noticing his shock then landing on Tyler. He smiled over at you as he stood in between Pete and Trent. You blushed looking down before smiling back to him. He had the cutest face, in a handsome way. His gleaming eyes through his glasses were so enticing. He stood there looking back at you making you feel like there was something wrong with your outfit. You double checked yourself and everything seemed fine. Trent clicked his fingers in front of Tyler’s face to grab his attention. Finally, Tyler spoke up…

“Look guys I’m sure we can figure this out. Otherwise Y/N would have had a wasted journey.” You scrunched up your face and mouth a gape as Tyler mentioned something about ‘a wasted journey.’

“A wasted journey? Look it’s really awesome to meet you all. I promise I won’t let you down. This job means everything to me.” You looked over at Trent who was now looking a lot calmer and shot you a brief smile. He nodded his head as if he agreed with what you were saying.

“It’s lovely to meet you to darlin’ and I don’t doubt your abilities, but Pete decided on behalf of the group and didn’t consult the rest of us. Pete, Tyler a word over here.” Trent ushered the guys a few centimetres away from you so you were out of hearing distance. Tyler winked at you before turning his back. You bit your bottom lip smiling and titled your head. You could tell you were acting like a silly school girl, so you straightened yourself up and placed your hand on your hip, hoping to give of the vibe that you were impatient.

“Well I say we keep her” Tyler immediately blurted out with a wide smile.

“Two beats one pal. And besides did you not see the way Tyler was staring at her? She would make him a very happy boy.” Pete sniggered and shrugged his shoulders. Trent looked over at Tyler with a huge grin at the fact Tyler was infatuated with you.

“Yeah who wouldn’t stare? She’s got pretty Y/E/C eyes, a gleaming smile aaand her legs are pretty good too. I’m sure her art is fine as well.” Tyler quickly got back to the topic of your art instead of listing your qualities.

“Look at you drooling, got a crush?” Trent chuckled.

“Yeah she’s pretty and I guess any friend of yours is a friend of ours and we should support her.” Trent said, he held out his hand for Pete to shake which he did gladly.

Trent waved you to come over, your hips swayed side to side as you walked to the trio.

“Welcome to British Strong Style.” Trent grinned, you jumped up on the spot squealing with excitement, you swung your arms around Pete’s neck jumping up and down, Pete cracked that smile that made a rare appearance nowa days. You then pulled Trent in for a hug, startled at first by the hug he hugged you back, his heart melted seeing how happy you were even though he’d just met you. Then you saw Tyler who looked over the moon, you approached him, kissed his cheek and hugged him, your arms wrapped around his chest and his hands fell upon on your hips. You again noticed how unprofessional you were being and stepped away, flipped your hair to your back and coughed.

“I mean thanks guys. It means the world. I’m sorry if I caused any trouble between you too.” You looked back and forth and Pete and Trent.

“Ya didn’t Y/N, we love each other really. Don’t we Pete?” Trent grabbed the champion and put him in a headlock ruffling his hair. Pete was snarling and grunting, trying to escape from Trent.

“Y/N you’re one of us now, you can act your excitable self now.” Pete croaked out from Trent’s headlock. You giggled at the pair before turning your attention back to Tyler.

“Do you want to go get a tea or coffee? I can run through with you our schedules and events? Maybe I can check out your designs?” Tyler asked, his deep voice made you whimper, you wondered what it would be like to have those lips touch your skin and leave trails of kisses down your body. You looked down at his muscles as his tight fit shirt hugged them, you blushed realising that you were developing a crush for Tyler.

“Yeah okay.” Was all you manged to say with a big pretty smile gracing your face. Suddenly an arm pulled Tyler back before you could walk off together.

“This being cute an’ all” Pete gestured to the pair of you.

“And Tyler you may be a best mate but so is Y/N. Hurt her and I’ll break ya… in a best friend way” Pete graced us with a fake smile before patting Tyler on the back. Rubbing the back of his neck Tyler began to laugh awkwardly.

“Such a joker ain’t he” Tyler pointed back at Pete as you both walked away.

“No not really. He’s pretty serious” you smirked knowing it would wind him up and get him hot under the collar.

Months passed and thanks to you the lads merchandise became one of the biggest selling points in NXT. You laid on top of Tyler on the sofa in the locker room as you both tried to catch your breath after probably having the best sex you’d ever had. His arm wrapped around you tracing circles on your back. Tyler gently kissed the top of your head making you smile, enjoying the moment.

“I’m so glad your mine Y/N. Been in love with you since I first saw ya stood holding your t-shirt designs for’us.”

You looked up into Tyler’s eyes shocked searching for regret that he’d mentioned that he’d loved you. You hadn’t said that word to each other yet and you didn’t know how to respond. Of course, you loved him but no one other than family members had said they loved you.

“Tyler… I. Erm, you realise you just said you loved me, right?” Your breathing increased as you spoke up.

“Yeah I know and I mean it. I love you” You covered your face with your hands as you could feel your cheeks gushing bright red and a beaming smile. Tyler removed your hands from your face and laced your hands together.

“Don’t hide, you’re beautiful, girl.”

A knock at the door and the handle being shook caused you both to jump up.

“Shit” Tyler exclaimed as you both began to search for you clothes.

“Have I just knocked on the door whilst you guys are having sex again?” Trent called out.

“Thankfully we’d just finished, in more ways than one” Tyler replied chuckling to himself, you smacked Tyler playfully on the chest as you could tell Trent just facepalmed the door with his forehead due to a thud on the door. Both fully dressed you walked over and opened the door inviting Trent in. Trent looked around the room as if he was imagining you and Tyler having sex everywhere in the room.

“Here?” he pointed to a chair as if to ask if you’d had sex in that spot. You rolled your eyes and shook your head. He smiled with satisfaction and took a seat. Tyler sat on a table and pulled you into him, his arms wrapped around your front and hands interlaced.

“You two do make a good looking couple. Have you thought about babies?” Trent said with a smirk, knowing the response he’d get out of Tyler. Tyler, bless him choked on his own breath.

“Huh? What? Babies? Fuck off, I need a piss” Tyler smacked your bum as he released you and bolted for the exit.

“You’re cruel Seven. So cruel” you shook your head and laughed along with Trent at Tyler’s reaction.

Chunks of my life

TAKE TWO , TABARNAK!

Okay, so ya’ll already know, it takes me close to years, to pop out a blogpost. I finally sit down and muster the time and dedication to hack one up. As I’m writing the last few words- my browser shuts down. WOOSAA…

Everything’s lost.

Friggn WOOSA mang WOOSA…

Kay I think we all know how peeved I am….

Honestly I must really wanna hack one out, cuz here I am! Starting over. When really, my insides are screaming; chuck it in the fuckit bucket!

Okay I’m over it.

So Hello!

Here we are, 4 months past my last post. 4 months of magnificent procrastination.

Hey! At least it was a productive procrastination period. It’s not like I’ve been sitting on my sweet ass, doing sweet fuck all…

I’ve been acting, working, eating, sleeping… running around like a mofo. Like I said, quite the productive 4 months.

I know, I know, I said I would stop starting my posts with a lecture on how long it’s been since the last time I wrote… But heck, it’s been so long, someone needs to keep track!

These past 4 months have been hella busy! I’ve barely had time to think. Honestly, that’s partly why I haven’t buckled down to write. Who am I kidding? That’s the -only- reason why.

There’s been so many things happening, in such a short period of time. I never knew where to even begin. Do I write about the move? About my love life? Is my stress level a topic of interest?! Who the heck knows… All I know is that every time I attempted to jot down some kind of timeline, my head would spin. So there you have it!

Great now that we have that sorted out, lets start (for the second time) this blogpost! #HowBoutDat

Here we go!

In the previous, already written-blogpost (that decided to vanish); I had a clever intro explaining, my writing set-up and how I was binge eating my little brothers Halloween chocolates…blah blah, it was funny, blah blah… but now it’s gone so you’re not getting it.

Anyway, 10 Halloween candies later and 4 hours of work with nothing to show, here we are!

On my sisters’ bed, in Montreal, about to watch the sunset from her bedroom window, cuz you know…I’ve been here all day. I started the day by listening to the cutest coffee shop tunes, in my cute ass Pj’s, Insanely Cozy.

And now I’m listening to electronic beats purely to help me stay awake. I’m antsy AF!

This morning, I was excited to find a quiet cafe to spend the day. I love to be surrounded by coziness when I’m writing.

Lately, I seem to have caught a small case of homesickness. With no chosen cafe prospects, I stood there, looking around, wondering why I’m so quick to runaway to a coffee shop?! When I could just as easily get cozy at my parents house, surrounded by familiarity. So I did just that. That’s all the coziness I need. Soaking in as much of this place & soaking in as much time with my loved ones as I can, before flying back to my adopted hometown, Vancouver.

The BIG Move:

Last time I wrote, I had just done the BIG move. Barely settled, I was wondering why I wasn’t feeling the “Ecstatic- Jumping up and down- Can’t contain myself- Holy Fuck- Yay me!” feeling. I realised that, perhaps, I outgrew my own goals. That perhaps, my finish line was no longer the one I needed.

Throw it back 3 years ago; If any of you have been following my blog since the beginning, you’re aware of the EPIC fail of 2014. Where I had the clever idea to move across the country to be, (to depend) on a boy I met on vacation.

Safe to say, that didn’t last very long. From that moment on, I promised myself I would never let anything like that happen again! I became obsessed with my independence.

Forward to 2015; I had decided I would move to Vancouver, BC, in the fall of 2016. No matter what came my way. I got in contact with a friend of a friend of mine, in VanCity. Learned that his roommate was looking to sublet his room from October ‘til May, the following year. “AMAZING! This is perfect” I thought to myself. Given the extremely low rent (525$ / month, which is a joke for Vancouver!) I just, couldn’t pass that opportunity up!

That winter, I started dating an old highschool buddy of mine. Trying not to think too far into the future, I went ahead with my plans despite the new relationship. But Oh, did we ever headbutt about my future plans, to not only move across the country- but to move in with a male roommate.

Don’t get me wrong, I completely understand where he was coming from. But I’d be damned if I would compromise my Vancouver dream, for a boy! Been there, done that, amiright?

But let me tell ya, wasn’t long before my - feminist- Girl power - ass, chilled for a minute when the BIG move was actually done.

The BIG Love:

Eric and I met in highschool. We became chummy chummy in English class, 9 years ago to be exact. Gahd Damn, time flies. Nine years since this kid started teasing me for over-acting our daily Shakespeare, in class, reads. We’ve been best buds ever since.

Eric moved out west, to Alberta after graduation, to work the Oil rigs. I moved back to Montreal from Ottawa, to study Acting. We kept in touch with our high school crew and somehow, always managed to meet up during christmas holidays, and summer vacays. We never went too long without seeing each other. We kept in touch like clockwork. I always saw Eric as one of my best friends. My mind never ventured too far from that idea. I had no clue he had an eye on me…sneaky sneaky boy.

Summer of 2015 , when Nomi and I decided to take my Yaris on a cross country trip out west, to live in Edmonton for the summer (myself, for the second time), Eric invited me out to lunch on a few occasions. He paid and everything! (what a gentleman) I thought he was just being a good friend!

That winter, Thanks to social media, Eric knew I was on my yearly trip back to Ottawa for a couple days at Christmas time. He managed to squeeze himself in my tight overnight schedule and took me out to dinner. After a great night and few glasses of wine later, out in the pouring rain, BOOM! He kissed me. & that was the end of that!

He’s been by my side ever since.

Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t always a clear cut “FUCK Yes” the whole time. Remember, I was still - independence obsessed. I was doing this move no matter who or what came along! So I had a few months of rocking back and forth between “ I love him, can’t live without him. I just want to drop everything to be with him” and “ NO NO NO, FOCUS Girl. You’re a LadyBoss. Imma go do what I gotta do, to be where I gotta be!”. Because for some reason, I wasn’t able to find the middle ground. It was one or the other. We had a few struggles, but who doesn’t.

We always seemed able to find a way to communicate, work things out, and find our way back to one another.

The really effing BIG life:

A year later, I’m in Vancouver, at my friends place, though it didn’t take long for me to want my own space with Eric. It took a whole 2 weeks. Barely unpacked, I was already looking into apartment rentals.

Eric is gone ¾ of the time, for work. I only get the privilege to see him 7-10 days out of the month. We’re quite the social butterflies (when we wanna be) so that wasn’t the problem. The problem was that, I barely see him as it is, I need my alone time with him more than ever when I do see his face! My feminist- independence - obsessed- ass, chilled for a minute. I decided I needed my space with my boyfriend. A space where we could make as much noise as we want and not disturb anyone…Because our daily morning joke telling- meme watching - wrestling - pillow fighting routine can get rowdy. Anyway, I laugh like a hippopotamus, so really… It only made sense.

Under 3 weeks of my living there, we managed to lock down an apartment. Two weeks later we were both moved in.

During that time, I had applied and started with lululemon (again). I also pressed “resume” on my acting career. I was taking as many “On set” gigs as I could get my hands on. We were busy busy bee’s.

I wanted to live the life I imagined for myself; and that’s a REALLY effing BIG life. I decided I was committing to my vision, & my goals. I finally chose to make my dreams a reality. Now, not only am I here, but we both are, together, moved into an apartment in the dead center of Yaletown, Vancouver, BC. Wow.

I’m getting paid to do what I love to do. Am I at the finish line? Not yet. Do I know what my finish line is? Not sure… I have an idea. If it’s what I think it is, I’m not quite there yet, but that’s A-Ok with me. I’m not there yet, but I’m a hell of a lot closer than I was 3 years ago!

And I’m hacking at it, bit by bit, everyday… Slowly but surely.

The “BIG Magic”:

“Big Magic” is a book written by the famous “Eat, Pray, Love” author, Elizabeth Gilbert. This book puts into words what it is to live a creative life beyond fear.

This thing, full of words, not only allowed me to notice my own sparks of creativity, but allowed me to notice little miracles happening everyday. The more I pay attention, the more I believe everything happens for a reason! If I wouldn't’ve epically failed on my brilliant idea to move across the country with a boy from vacay, I definitely wouldn’t be where I am today. That’s my kind of BIG Magic.

My mother was diagnosed with lung cancer two months ago. She was taken into surgery and woke up cancer free. BIG Magic. I had been homesick for a while, I was anxious about not knowing when I’d get to go home next. I was always making excuses because I felt like I couldn’t rationalize spending that kind of money.

As drastic as it may seem, when I found out my mom was being taken into emergency surgery, I could no longer rationalize NOT spending that kind of money. So I flew out first thing the next morning. I got to spend quality time with my close loved ones. I got to touch base & be home for a bit, she needed me as much as I needed her. Life found a way to make that happen. That’s BIG magic.

It may not always look like it, or even feel like it, but BIG (little) magic happens all the time. You can witness the tiniest miracles, if you pay closer attention.

“Life happens for you, not to you” - to live a magical life, takes patience & lose the fear. Fear is No Bueno. You won’t need it, so chuck it in the fuckit bucket. AND LIVE A BIGASS LIFE

So there you have it folks.

Until Next Time
