This is fucking shit.

I've been here forever.

I have a constant headache and keep knocking out.

It's a surprise I'm not dead to be honest. I got shot and I've obviously lost a lot of blood.

I've tried to stand up, it's not really a smart idea. Everytime I do, I just pass out again. Standing up takes every ounce of energy I have.

I flashlight shines and I groan. "If you're gonna kill me, hurry up." I croak out in almost a whisper.

"Nia, is that you?" A voice asks and I push my eyes open. "Scott?" I croak and he nods. "It's me." Scott says and I let out a heavy sigh before being forced up. "Ow, be careful." I groan as my eyes flutter shut.

"Nia?" Stiles yells and my eyes flicker open. "I'm alright." I say softly as he gets to my side.

"Where's Derek?" I ask as I'm hoisted in to Stiles arms. "Uh... don't worry about that for now." Stiles says before I faint again.

****

"Just wake her up. She fainted ages ago, it shouldn't be that hard." Stiles shouts and I wince. "She's waking up." A more feminine voice answers. "Stop shouting." I groan.

"Girls take her inside. I'm gonna come back for her just after I drop Derek and Scott off." Stiles says as I basically get dragged around.

Im hoisted onto something more comfortable and Stiles grabs my hand. "You hear that? I'm coming back, I promise." Stiles says leaning over me. "Derek. Make sure he's okay." I say and he nods. "We've got him. We're going to Deaton. I'm gonna call dad." Stiles says and I nod.

"I've got it from here." Melissa says and she leans over me. "It's okay, we've got you." She says and everything blurs in with the ceiling.

****

"She's opening her eyes!" Stiles says and I flinch and groan. "Shut the fuck up." I say moving to run a hand over my face.

I sit up and look between Stiles and my dad. "Where's Derek?" I ask and Stiles sighs. "He's at the animal clinic." Stiles says and dad sighs.

"I've gotta head to work. Are you okay?" Dad asks and I nod. "Peachy." I say and Dad nods. He kisses my forehead and heads out to work.

When dad leaves, Stiles' phone buzzes. "I've gotta run." Stiles says and I perk up. "Is it Derek? What's going on?" I ask and Stiles sighs. "I've got it. Rest." Stiles says and I nod.

****

"Get up." Stiles says and I groan. "Come on. I signed your discharge papers. Get dressed. I brought you some clothes. Meet me at my car." Stiles says urgently and I roll my eyes.

I pull on some leggings and a sweatshirt before getting in Stiles car and heading to Scott's house.

When we get there I walk through the door.

A younger version of Derek appears in the hall and my eyes widen. "Nia?" He asks and I nod. "Oh finally, someone who's not crazy." He says and I have to refrain myself from wrapping my arms around him.

Derek grabs stiles and pulls him upstairs.

We get into Scott's room and Derek slams him against the door. "Okay, I didn't lie. I omitted certain truths. Vital trutha now that I think about it." Stiles rambles.

"I don't wanna talk to you." Derek says pulling away from Stiles. "I want to talk to the Alpha. I'll talk to Scott." He complains and I roll my eyes.

"Or you can talk to me. I can get you up to date your pretty boring life. Well it was definitely boring till we got together." I say and Derek raises an eyebrow at me.

"We're dating?" He asks and I nod. "Oh yeah. We're madly in love. We've got 2 kids at home actually." I say and his face drops.

"I'm joking." I say patting his shoulder. "Yeah, you never got a good sense of humor." I say sitting down at end of Scott's bed.

"I'm gonna call Scott." Stiles says running off

"Tell me everything." Derek says and I grab his hand. "Will do." I say and I tense up. "Wait, does this make me a pedo? I promise we're actually dating." I say and he sighs.

I take my hand away, this feels wrong.

High school Derek was not mine, he was Paige's. And although he may be mine now, he wasn't then. I'd rather wait till my Derek comes back, to hold his hand.

The bathroom door creaks open and Kate appears. You're fucking joking.

Derek stands up. "Kate?" He asks and she smiles at him. "Hey, handsome. It's been a long time. Longer than you think." she says walking over to us and chuckles.

"Can you like do one?" I ask whilst standing up abruptly. She goes to punch me and I groan. "If you're gonna knock me out. Don't go for the front of the face." I say rolling my eyes and I get a hit to the side of the head. I then faint, again!

****

"Come on Nia, come on." Stiles repeats whilst shaking me. "Im okay." I groan whilst sitting up. "I'm so sorry to be dragging you every where but you were the only person Derek knew back then." Stiles says and I groan. "It's okay." I say as he helps me up.

He then puts his arm around me and supports me to the Jeep.

We grab Lydia and Kira on the way to the school.

Kira runs ahead and I run behind Stiles and Lydia. Aren't I good at running? Why am I running so slow?

"Come on." Stiles says grabbing my hand with his hand that wasn't holding his baseball bat.

We catch up with everyone else. Scott, Kira and Malia were on the floor. Derek was knelt on the floor and he turns to me as I try to catch my breath.

"Derek?" I ask as he looks up at me. He was him usual self  except his eyes were no longer blue, but yellow. "Well shit." I say out of breath.

"You're bleeding." Malia says whilst pointing to my shoulder. I shrug and walk to Derek who was walking towards me.

"You look like shit." He grumbles and I scoff as he grabs my waist. "I'm glad you've got me." I say out of breath and dizzy. He looks at me confused as I grab his shoulder in attempt to steady myself. "Because im about to--" but I couldn't even finish my sentence.

****

"I'm fine. You can leave." I hear Derek say and I groan.

Derek comes to my side and holds my hand. "You should've stayed in hospital." He says and I shrug. "I had to come and save your ass. Which actually only turnt out bad for me. So next time, I'm just gonna leave you to get killed by your psychopath ex girlfriend." I say and he scoffs.

"Can we go to bed now?" I ask and he nods. "Leave." He says and I look around to see Peter. "Bye." I grunt and close my eyes.

"You should put some clothes on." Derek says and I look down. To see I had leggings and a bra on. I groan

"I cleaned your stitches." He says and I smile. "Thanks Mr Doctor. Now that we're both suffering." I say as he climbs into bed beside me. "Sex?" I ask and he laughs. "Nope. I'm going to sleep. You should too. You look fucking awful." He says and I roll my eyes. "Fine. Only because I am very tired." I say and turn on my side and place a kiss to his chest.

"You know, we were missimg for a few weeks." I say and he sighs. "I do." He says moving against me so we could spoon.

"I really hate Kate. I forgot to ask, Is my nose even more bonked? Do I look uglier?" I ask and he sighs. "Yeah." He says playfully and I groan.

"Typical. Why do I have to be ugly looking? I'm very pretty and now. Now I'm getting beaten the shit out of constantly and I look awful." I say and he scoffs.

"Another question." I say whilst playing with my fingers. "Do you still think about Paige?" I ask and his deep sigh hits the back of my neck.

"She was my first love. She's the reason my eyes were blue." He says and continues to give me a bunch of reasons. "It's okay. I just wanted to know. You don't have to try and justify yourself. She was a lovely girl. She didn't deserve to die." I say and he squeezes me.

"Can we talk about something else." He says and I scoff. "We can talk about the fact it stinks like Peter in here." I say and he chuckles.

"He's obviously been here often." Derek says and I sigh. "Too often." I say as my eyes get heavy.

"You know if someome breaks in, don't bother to wake me up. I'm too broken at the moment to move." I say and quickly fall asleep.
