Ariana Pierce (Hale)

I woke up to shuffling on the bed. My eye lids fluttered open and I was met with the soft brown eyes I love. Scott smiled when he saw I was awake.

"Morning, sleepy head" he said. I groaned and closed my eyes.

"What am I doing here?" I asked him covering my head with one of his pillows since we were in his room. We must've stayed here after I passed out at the school.

"I brought you here after everything went down. I didn't want you staying alone at your house" he answered me. I started getting up but stopped when I looked over my clothes. I wasn't in my skinny jeans anymore. Instead I had on a pair of boxers with a white T-shirt.

"Scott..." I said slowly. I turned to him with a dangerous glare. His eyes widened, shaking his head back and forth real fast.

"I swear I didn't get you dressed... In my clothes that do look good on you— not the point. Stiles got you dressed" he explained in a rush. I calmed down a little but still a little mad.

"I'm surprised you let him" I commented.

He rolled his eyes, "Trust me, it wasn't easy for him. I don't know why I feel this" he groaned falling back on his bed.

"What do you feel?" I asked. He sighed. I sat 'criss-cross-apple-sauced' while he was laying down, leaning on his elbows for support.

"There's this feeling I get every time I see you. Like— like I'll never see you again. I can't stop myself for falling for you even though I have Kira. It's to much pressure on me" he mumbled. I took his hand in my hand.

"Too much pressure on you? Scott, what you're basically doing, is leading me on. Not just me, to Kira too. Even though I hate that psychotic bitch, she doesn't deserve, much like me, what you're putting us through, "I raised my hand to silence him when he went to say something, "There's something I haven't been telling you. Stiles knows because— well because he's my best friend. You might get mad at me but I'm new to this. Hell, I'm fucking scared of this" I said.

Scott took my hands in his. I looked up at him seeing him smile at me. I was confused by this. "Tell me. I promise I'll try not to get mad. I'm here for you though" he told me. I smiled gratefully.

"There's this... thing called soul mates. Where two people are destined to be together. Some people believe the moon goddess pairs these two particular people together for a reason. Other people think that it's just a beautiful gift they have" I started.

"You mean like, a guy and a girl are meant to be together no matter what?" Scott asked.

"Not exactly. It can be a guy and a guy if you were wondering. The pair are meant to be together but one could reject the other or else terrible things happen" I said.

"What's this have to do with anything?" He asked.

I took in a deep breath, "I have a mate. I've known him since the first day of school. We've had horrid things happen between us. He's a good guy. Trust me on that. I like everything about him... The way he acts, his eyes, his voice, the way he treats people, his body..." I trailed off staring at Scott who was fuming. I rubbed my thumb over his chin.

"His crooked jaw..." I whispered. Scott looked at me funny. He shook his head a few times.

"Crooked jaw? Who has..." He stopped when realization hit him. His eyes widened shaking his head quickly. I smiled weakly.

"Yes, Scott. You are my mate" I said. He gripped his hair with one hand. He was in shock, I could tell. I let go of his other hand. I was about to get up but Scott gripped my arm.

"I-I don't know anything about this. I don't k-know how this happened but you said it yourself. I do know you're not lying. This was meant for a reason", he pulled me down onto his lap, "We were meant to be", he whispered, our noses touching.

My breathed hitched in my throat. I wasn't sure if this was real or not. Was I dreaming or something? I blinked rapidly.

"I know I've been acting distant lately. I know there's a lot of stuff you got to explain to me, including what happened between Kira and you. Stiles told me about it and knocked some since into me. Literally" he laughed. I smiled knowing what he was talking about and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"I guess what I'm trying to say is, I pick you rather than Kira. Not just because you said I was your mate", he said grabbing my face in his hands. "But because I can't help but fall in love with you" he whispered. Tears escaped my eyes. I had the biggest smile in the world right now.

"Kiss me already!" I practically yelled. Scott chuckled and did what he was told. He kissed me.

It wasn't like the first kiss we shared. This one was way different. It was a loving, passionate one. The world froze around us. All I could think about was that Scott's lips were on mine. The sparks were coursing through my body; I could feel myself mending itself where it was once empty.

Scott broke the kiss gasping for air. I laughed into his chest, feeling happier than I've ever felt. He smoothed down my hair with his hand.

"So, Ariana..." He trailed off unsure.

I smiled up at him, "Hale. Ariana Hale. It has a nice ring to it" I said.

"Ariana Hale, will you be my girlfriend?" He asked. I giggled and shook my head 'yes'. He pulled me into the kiss. I was smiling into the kiss making him laugh. His alarm started going off.

"We better hurry. We're already running late" he told me. I nodded getting up. I quickly turned around pecking his lips. I was so happy right now.

I stopped when I realized I had no clothes here.

"I washed your pants and underwear last night. Your shirt was kinda ruined due to the big whole in it and all the tears in'em" he told me. I nodded. He passed me my black pair of skinny jeans along with my black laced underwear. He winked in my direction making my face turn bright red.

I walked to the other side of his room. "Turn around" I ordered. He rolled his eyes and obeyed. I slid his boxers off and put my underwear on. I glanced at Scott seeing him bite his lip. I glared at him as I seen him watching me through the mirror.

I picked a pillow up and launched it at him. He laughed loudly. I quickly put my pants on. I walked over to Scott digging through his drawers. Finally I found a tank top of his and a red hoodie. I put both of them on, tying a rubber band on the tank top and leaving the hoodie the way it was. The hoodie was huge on me. It went down to my mid thigh.

"I like my clothes on you" he said. I filled my eyes at his clichéness. "Of course you do" I joked.

I hurriedly put my socks and black Vans on. I groaned when I realized my book bag isn't here.

"I have no bookbag" I told Scott. He thinked for a moment.

"You have all your books in your locker. Just carry one around" he suggested. I raised an eyebrow.

"How do you know I keep all my books in there?" I asked. He laughed nervously.

"I might take a few glances at you every now and then" he shrugged. I giggled.

"Hurry up, we're gonna be late!" I shouted. I grabbed my phone and ran out of his bedroom.

"Yeah, I'll meet you downstairs. Get my bike ready!" He hollered.

"Okay!" I yelled back. I didn't want to question him.

I ran down the stairs and out the door. I pulled his keys out from the hiding place which was under the motor. I turned it on, the bike making one of those motor roars.

I revved it a few times. Scott was taking a long time so I decided to take it for a little spin. I jumped on and took off down the road. Dirt flew behind me as I did a wheely.

Once I made it to the stop sign, I turned around heading back to his house. When I was pulling up, Scott what was watching me with amazement.

"Didn't know you could ride!" He yelled over the motor. I smirked at him.

"There's a lot you don't know about me" I told him scooching back so there was space for him. He hopped on, instantly handing me his helmet. I looked at him confused.

"What's that for?" I asked.

"For you. Just in case" he insisted.

"Scott. I can heal also. Quickly might I add. I think I'm fine" I chuckled. My eyes widened as he looked at me with those lost puppy dog eyes. My lips formed a thin line. I cursed under under my breath.

"Fine. Only because it'll make you feel better" I snatched it out of his hand. He smiled in victory. As soon as I had it on he took off down the road.

Scott and I walked the hallways together. He was holding my hand. It seemed as we were moving on really fast but it felt so normal. He was acting like, what we had between us, was gonna end soon.

"We have to go to the lacrosse meeting" Scott told me. I noticed people staring at us, then to our conjoined hands. Whispers floated into my head. 'Cause of this heightened werewolf hearing, it's a little harder to block everything out.

"Actually, can you cover for me. I can't make it. I got... uh, something to do" I told him. He looked at me worried.

"Everything alright?" Scott asked me.

"Ye-yeah. Everything's fine— cool. Just a bit flustered from last night" I said. It technically wasn't a lie.

"You sure?" He asked. Something down the hall caught my attention. There were little blood stains on the floor. Broken lockers from when Cole and I tossled around were hanging. Glass was all shattered on the floor.

"What's wrong? Your heart beat just sky rocketed" Scott said. He followed my gaze to where I was looking at. He quickly blocked my sight. He made me look up at him.

"It's alright. You had to do what you had to do. Everything is okay. We dealt with the body" Scott whispered. I nodded shakily.

"I, um, g-gotta g-g-go" I stuttered. I hastily kissed his cheek, almost running down the hallway. Once I made it to the girls bathroom, I made sure no one was in here with me.

I locked the doors. I turned around listened to the deafening silence. Then it all came crashing down.

I sobbed quietly, sinking down to the floor. I brought my knees up to my chest and wrapped my arms around them. All I could do was cry. Cry. And cry.

I had killed Cole. He was the second person I killed and nothing was ever going to change that.
