Chapter 1
It was dark in Allison Argent's bedroom, only a small portion of light coming though the windows from the city below her California condo. There was a celebrity club opening going on in the streets below. Loud music was blaring, audible even from outside the club, but very faint on the sixth floor of the St. Kelley Condominium. The windows were open just a bit and a small breeze was causing the long drapes to sway, but in no particular pattern. It was nearly 2am on a perfect, cool night.
Scott McCall was out of town for the weekend on a small vacation with his mother in San Diego. Scott confessed to Allison that he wished he could bring his girlfriend along but the vacation was so small and sudden, his mother wanted it to be just the two of them. Not even his best friend Stiles Stilinski was allowed to join. But these weren't the thoughts that were inside Allison's head when she felt his hands slide down her back and start to unbutton her sundress. His hands. Isaac's. Isaac Lahey.
"You look so beautiful tonight," Isaac whispered into Allison's ear as he fumbled with the last button of her dress. He could feel her smile against his cheek. She tangled her fingers into his curly brown hair and pulled him into a sweet kiss. Their lips touched for a moment before breaking away due to an interruption. Allison's phone vibrated.
Allison groaned. She turned around and picked up her phone and read who the text was from. "It's Scott."
Isaac stared at her, eyes slightly bulged, panicked. "What did he say?" Allison read the text out loud. "Hey babe, turns out we had to come home early. Be home in a few hours or sooner. Love you."
Allison looked up at Isaac's worried face and didn't know what to tell him. She could tell he was trying to come up with a plan but he seemed to fall short. She wanted to take away his worries so she took his hand into her own. Instantly Isaac's worries vanished and were no longer apart of his thoughts. He smiled a sad smile and his eyes crinkled.
Isaac leaned into Allison and everything started over again. He ran a hand into her hair as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Isaac began to place kisses down Allison's neck. Allison quickly slipped her fingers under Isaac's shirt from behind and started to pull up on it. He got the hint and pulled away to remove his shirt. Allison smiled as she saw the sight of his toned chest. She put her hands on her own back to unhook her bra hooks. She let it slip and fall to her thighs and Isaac's hands grazed over her breasts. Allison's hands found their way to the belt holding up Isaac's pants. She undid it and he pulled down his pants. Isaac kissed her shoulder affectionately.
The next hour went by in a blur. When it finally passed, Allison was putting her bra and panties back on when she saw the sparkle in Isaac's eyes. He was staring into her eyes with a small smirk on his lips.
"What are you looking at?" Allison asked him with a small laugh at the end of the question. And just then a knock at the locked door was heard. Allison and Isaac stared at each other intently with huge eyes. "Uh, yes?" Allison called out.
"Allison? Are you in there?" It was Scott. Isaac picked up his shirt and his shoes quickly and looked at Allison for instructions. Allison pushed him into the closet outside of her bedroom behind all her clothes.
"Yeah, Scott, you can come in." She replied. Scott laughed. "I would but, the door is kind of locked."
Allison shot her hand up to her mouth. "Oh, sorry! I was -- just changing." She got up from the bed and walked over to unlock the door. She opened it and saw Scott's face light up. "Hey!" She said to him.
Scott pulled Allison into a tender embrace. He squeezed for a little too long and Allison tried to pull away but found it impossible. Scott made a questioning look because he felt her trying to escape the hug. "It's only because I want to get dressed, sorry." Allison reassured him. Scott gave her a sweet smile.
"Oh, God, I have to piss so bad!" Scott announced. Allison giggled as she walked over to her closet. She waited for Scott to enter the bathroom and shut the door before opening the one in front of her. Allison opened the closet only to find Isaac laying on the ground in the small space. She wondered how he could fit his tall body in that position but she said nothing to him. Instead Allison dropped several pieces of clothing on his head, with their hangers still attached to them. Isaac quickly sat up straight at looked at her with a confused looked. She put her pointer finger to her lips, signaling for him to stay quiet. That was when she heard the toilet flush in the bathroom. Allison hurriedly pulled together a sleep outfit and shut the closet doors just as Scott opened the bathroom door.
"Wow, I missed you." Scott said as he walked up to Allison. He placed his hands under each side of her jaw. He also placed his lips to her's and held them there for a minute. "Me too" was all she said.
"It wasn't even a long time but," Scott chuckled. "I really did miss you." Allison smiled sweetly at Scott's words.
Inside the closet, Isaac couldn't help but hear their whole conversation. It saddened him, but he knew it shouldn't. Scott was one of his good friends and Allison was his girlfriend. They love each other. Isaac knew he could never come between two people in love. But that didn't mean he didn't want her. He always had, ever since he first saw her. He thought she was so beautiful. Allison never thought of Isaac more than a friend, or even more than them just sleeping together without Scott knowing. Isaac wanted to think he had a chance, but he also didn't want his deep feelings for Allison to ruin what they already had.
"I love you, Allison," Scott confessed. She was happy with him. She loved being with him. She loved him. "I love you, Scott."
The couple shared a few more kisses before heading to Allison's bedroom. Isaac kept his head down as he slipped on his shoes and decided to finally open the door. He stepped out and looked around. It was mainly silent except for the faint noises Allison and Scott were making behind her bedroom door. Isaac put his shirt on before he left and turned the knob of the front door to the condo and walked out. He carefully shut the door without anyone noticing he left. Isaac walked slow down the hall, trying not to let his thoughts consume him. There is always hope, he thought.
Derek woke up in the middle of the night, almost 4am, to the sound of someone knocking on his bedroom door at the loft. He turned to see if Jennifer had awoken too but luckily she hadn't. Derek pecked a kiss to her cheek before stepping out of the bed and opening the door. It was Isaac.
Isaac smiled a sad smile. "I don't mean to bother you--" he started loudly when Derek interrupted. "Shh!" Derek walked out of the room and shut the door quietly.
"Is someone in there?" Isaac asked. Derek nodded. "Jennifer." When Isaac looked confused Derek elaborated. "She is the teacher from that night a few weeks ago when Boyd and Cora came at me." Derek paused a minute when he saw Isaac's understanding expression. "She actually might even be your teacher. She works at your school as a new English teacher."
Isaac's eyes lit up. "Oh, yes! Miss Blake. She is my teacher." He waited for a moment. "So, what is she doing here?"
Derek looked up from the ground. "We, uh, we've been seeing each other..." He trailed off.
"Oh! Is that so? Go get it, Derek! So how are things with you guys?" Isaac asked with a smile on his face.
"No, I'm not talking to you about this." Derek replied. "But, what is it you came here for?"
Isaac looked down at his shoes. He searched his thoughts to come up with an answer. "I wanted to talk to you about something, and I realized I had nowhere to go." He looked Derek in the eyes. Derek looked understanding and accepting.
Derek reached his arm out and squeezed Isaac's shoulder. "You can stay here tonight. It's fine."
Isaac smiled brightly and warmly. "Thank you so much, Derek. I owe you one." Derek shook his head. "No, no, it's okay, really. You don't have to do anything for me."
Isaac just smiled back. Derek walked back into his room and got back into bed. Jennifer shifted her body so she and Derek were spooning, without even realizing. She was still asleep. Outside in the main area of the loft, Isaac took off his shoes and laid down on the couch. He thought of how grateful he was that Derek could be his friend again and take him in. His thoughts drifted toward Allison. And Scott. Isaac didn't want to hurt them or their relationship. He couldn't stay away from her but maybe that was what was best. Isaac needed to come up with a solution to his problems but not at the moment. His eyes glazed over and he became very sleepy. It was around 4:23 when Isaac dozed off into a soft slumber.
