Chapter Fifteen
Scott sat at the kitchen table; textbooks open in front of him as he leaned forward reading the most recent chapter. He was having trouble focusing. His mom was on a late shift at the hospital, the sheriff was in his office working, Allison had gone home, and Lydia was trying to sleep. But Scott could hear that she wasn’t.
Her heartbeat kept fluctuating between calm rapid beating and a frantic pounding in her chest, but Scott wasn’t sure why. And if that wasn’t enough he was getting some intensely feeling vibes from Stiles. He didn’t know where his friend was, but he was certain he wasn’t out for a drive to clear his head.
It almost felt like that flight or fight response people got before something big happened, except minus the flight response. Scott shook his head refusing the urge to check on Stiles and try to go find him. He didn’t want his friend to think he didn’t trust him. Scott sighed and refocused his gaze on his homework, trying to block out Lydia’s distress from upstairs and the odd feelings moving through Stiles.
A half an hour later found Stiles walking into the house quietly. He had a suspicion that Lydia was sleeping, or nearly asleep, at the very least. He didn’t want to risk waking her up. He spotted Scott sitting at the kitchen table and he paused, then slowly walked toward him. “Hey.” His voice was quiet.
Scott glanced up and sat back in his seat watching his friend closely. “Hey,” he said keeping his tone light. “Were you able to clear your head?” He asked cocking his head to the side.
