18| I can't.. breath

I fix my make up in the mirror as Lydia gets in the car.

"I just have an errand to do before shopping."

I look at Allison confused.

"Okay.."

A few minutes later we all get out of the car. Allison grabs something from her trunk before walking towards the woods.

"Allison, when you said you needed to stop for an errand before we went shopping, a five mile hike in the woods was not what I was expecting."

"Before I forget, I wanted to ask if you're okay with something. Jackson asked me to the winter formal."

My eyes go wide, knowing something is about to go down. I look at Lizzie who knows about Lydia and Scott making out. She honestly didn't believe me at first until Scott actually admitted to it.

"Did he?"

"Yeah. Just as friends but I just wanted to make sure you're okay with it first."

"Sure. As long as it's just friends."

The tension between Allison and Lydia is real. When I told Allison about Lydia and Scott making out she almost hit me just for being the messenger.

"Well, yeah I mean it's not like I would take him to the coaches office during lacrosse practice to make out with him or anything."

Lydia glares at me as I smile. I had an obligation to tell Allison. I would want someone to tell me.

Allison stops, setting her bag down before pulling out an arrow. I watch her every move as she puts a different head on it. She takes her bow out and shoots the arrow. I turn around, closing my eyes.

"What the hell was that?"

"I don't know."

I look around, the sound of branches snapping filling my ears. Allison hands Lydia her bow before walking off. I want to follow her but Lydia death grips my arm. A few minutes later she comes back with her necklace.

Scott played it off like he found it when I know how he really got it. Finally we go shopping. Lydia per usual buys more than Allison and I combined. Lizzie isn't really that much into shopping. She just came to get out of the house.

The tension definitely dropped between Allison and Lydia during our time at the mall. I tried my best to stay focused but my mind went to the arrow head Allison used.

She's from a family of hunters. Hunters who kill people like me. I know Allison wouldn't hurt me, right? I feel like I keep telling myself that to make myself feel better. But who am I to know what her father or her aunt tells her?

"Liv?"

"Yeah?"

"We're at your house."

"Oh.. duh."

Lizzie gets out of the car first, grabbing my bags since they are back with her.

"Can I actually come in?"

"Yeah. You literally don't need to ask."

We both get out of her car and head towards my house. I head straight to the kitchen for something to eat as Allison looks up the steps.

"Go talk to him."

She hesitates as I shake my head. I look through the fridge for something to eat, grabbing leftover spaghetti. I jump onto the counter while eating day old cold spaghetti. Lizzie comes back down the stairs, grabbing a fork and we share the bowl.

I turn my head as someone rings the doorbell. I hesitate when they ring it again. I look at Lizzie because nobody should be coming to the house this late.

"I got it!"

I jump down, setting the container on the counter. I walk towards the door when Scott beats me to it. He hovers his hand over the knob before stepping away.

"Scott! Liv! Lizzie! Someone get the door!"

"Just open it."

I push past him, swinging the door open to Peter.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

"If you hurt her.. if you even touch her."

"Scott, if I may interrupt your listing of the top five most impotent sounding threats for a minute try and remember that I've been in a coma for six years. Don't you think I'd like to have dinner with a beautiful woman?"

"I'm sorry, what is happening?"

"Mom's going on a date with this psycho."

"You're going on a date with my mom?"

I hold my hand up, taking all the air from his lungs. Peter is a nut job. He's the one who turned Scott into a werewolf, and killed Laura.

"Liv!"

"I can't.. breathe."

"Good." I smile. "That's the point."

I let go when Scott grabs my arm.

"Scott, you need to understand how much powerful we are together. You, me, Derek and Liv."

"Excuse me?" I snap. "Liv is not apart of this."

I glare at Peter when my mom walks over.

"Sorry for making you wait."

She puts her hand on Peter's arm as I try not to throw up.

"Sweetie, are you sick?"

"I'm going to be."

"Have a good time."

She smiles as they walk out the door. Scott goes upstairs to talk to Allison before leaving without saying a word to me.
