New Girl // Stiles Stilinski [1]

Chapter 37: Eichen House Part 2

IM BACK! I GOT TEEN WOLF DVD SO I CAN UPDATE!!! IM SO EXCITED!!!!

"Brianna?"

I stop in my place.

N-no, it can't be.

I pick my head up and turn around slowly. I can feel my throat drop to my stomach.

"S-stiles? W-what are you doing here?" I stutter and avoid eye contact. Why the hell is he here?

"I could ask you the same thing. I though you were--" He paused, his face falling. "You lied to me."

"I-I didn't want you to worry about me. Something's wrong with me, Stiles." I bite my lip.

"You're not crazy, Brianna." He took a step toward me but I backed away. I don't want to hurt him.

"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be at the hospital or something...?" I whispered.

"That's a long story." He ran his hand through his hair. There was a silence. A long silence.

"Stiles, you know Malia." I said to him, motioning toward Malia.

"Malia? Malia Tate?" She looked at him confused. "Hi, uh, Malia. It's me, Stiles. Do you remember me? I'm friends with Scott. Remember, we were the ones who-"

She swung at him, punching him across the face and he fell to the floor. "Malia!" I grabbed a hold of her arms, holding her back.  Shit. I should have seen that coming.

"Hey! Malia!" A worker came and pulled me off her, holding me down to the ground as they did the same to Malia and Stiles.

"No!" She screamed.

"Hey, what the hell? She hit me." Stiles struggled against the mans grip, as did I.

"Hey! I didn't do anything! I was trying to help! Get your hands off of me!" I didn't have much strength to fight back, so I decided to lay there and catch my breath.

"A few more like this, Malia, and you're headed to the closed unit."

"Stop!" I heard Stiles yell repeatedly.

"Enough!" I heard a womans voice say. 

The man let me and Stiles go and I got up.

It was Morrelle. My school guidance counselor/shrink. 

She approached Stiles who was looking down at a drain type thing on the ground.

"Stiles." She says calmly. "You saw something didn't you?" He looked up at her with shock.

I took a step closer.

"That basement. Iv'e been down there before."

"I want to go back to the topic of guilt today."

Yay. Another group session. Just what I needed.

Gosh, I need to get out of this place.

"It might surprise you to hear me say that guilt is a good thing. It's a rather mature emotion."

I kept my eyes on Stiles, though, he never looked at me.

He did look beside me though. To Malia.

"Brianna, you said something about guilt the other day. You said it came with a visceral reaction."

She took me out of my thoughts. Bringing me back to this horrible thing called reality.

"I said it made me feel sick to my stomach." I kept my eyes trained on him.
