Family (TW/TVD Crossover) Scott Mcall Love Story (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 21

Previously:

"I don't know if you need it but I would like to help you with your control and discovering more about what you are, I know I'm a werewol-" Before Derek could finish I had unexpectedly ran and hugged him. I had surprised not only him and Scott but myself. I couldn't help the tears that had welled in my eyes. I felt a huge wave of gratitude that he was going to help me as well as relief of not being used. I felt as he carefully and tentatively wrapped his arms around me, more tears welled in my eyes, a few dripping down my cheeks as I felt the safety he was giving off, the safety I had never had.

Chapter 21:

Evangeline's PoV:

Now:

As Derek reciprocated her hug Eva swore she had never felt so safe, with Jeremy she had always been the protector, her little brother had dealt with so much trauma that he needed someone to be his pillar. It was something she would never regret doing for her brother no matter how challenging it had been some times to try and keep strong when she wanted to fall apart the way he did with her, however doing so wouldn't have been fair to Jeremy, her little brother had never had anyone just like her and even though aunt Jenna had tried for both of them she had already been spread so thin that it was impossible for her.

Jenna had no parenting experience with mentally stable children let alone children who were grieving the loss of their parents whilst also dealing with losing her sister. Hell their aunt had still been in college, it wasn't fair that she suddenly had three teenagers on her plate. It all had taken an evident toll on their aunt and whilst she had desperately tried to help Jeremy when he was doing drugs she had pushed too far and caused a rift to form between the two, between Elena's constant need to belittle him for his methods of grieving and Jenna's barely qualified parenting Jeremy had desperately needed someone and Evangeline had been more that ready to fill that spot no matter the detriment it caused to her own emotional wellbeing.

Due to all of the stressors Jeremy had Evangeline had never once regretted her choice that was fully solidified in her mind and no power could change it, there was no resentment held towards him as Derek hugged her tentatively, no, instead their was a surge of love between them that she had never felt before, a love that would allow her to be as weak and vulnerable as she need, that would lift her as high as it possibly could when she got low, a live that would allow her to express and feel emotions she had never been able to fully express to anyone before, a love that would hold her hand through isolation and that would fight to smother her while when she needed it.

Her fingers dug into the back of Derek's shirt as she grounded herself, wishing for the feeling he gave her to never leave.

The bond that formed between them was pure, completely devoid of any hint of power hunger. Evangeline barely knew this man and yet a bond stronger than most she had in her lifetime had been created. She had no idea of what role Derek would fill in her life all she knew was she prayed that it would never leave her and as she slowly relaxed her hands, backing away as she looked up to his eyes a promise was formed, tilting his head in acknowledgment as if he could truly read her mind in this moment of time. As she looked at him for a moment longer she remembered what he had asked her previously and looked down sheepishly embarrassed by her emotional outburst.

"I.. I would really like it if you could- help me with control I mean... I'm sorry for my outburst  it's just that no one has ever offered me help like this before" Evangeline states her fingers suddenly becoming the most interesting things in the world as she fidgets with them.

"It's alright we can set up a time and place later if you want." Derek offered as Evangeline nods swiftly although looking up in slight confusion as to why they couldn't do so now. Derek's eyes softened slightly as he caught the blur of confusion in her eyes.

"Scott has something he needs to talk to you about first" Derek stated offering slight clarity on the situation.

Evangeline couldn't help but jump slightly as her head whipped round to face Scott embarrassment clear on her features as she had clearly forgotten he had been in the room during Derek's offer to train her. The feelings she had laid off slightly relief etching through seeing the non-judgmental look and soft smile he gave her as she turned her focus to him.

That in itself scared her however, the fact that Scott had become an important figure in her life so quickly amazed her because whilst her and Derek had a bond better than those she had at home it was very clearly still in the early stages of development, no matter how comfortable she was with Derek already it would take a lot more for her to fully open up to him. One look at Scott however had her tempted to just rush out every secret she had, the trust she already felt towards him was completely unrealistic in so many ways and yet for some reason in her mind it just clicked, her mind had no need for reason when she saw him.

Worry hd washed over her at Derek's sentence not because she was scared of what Scott would say but rather because of how she immediately felt relaxed, like Scott would never tell her anything to hurt her and as Derek stood up and left the loft the worry nawed at her more as whilst she had been with Scott alone earlier on today she felt no trepidation towards the fact that they had been left alone for him to tell her something that seemed to be very important judging from the fact that Scott's expression had gone from soft and sweet to tight and worried the smile that came naturally to his face now tightened at the edges.

She carefully examined him as he went in his own headspace clearly mulling over whatever it was he wished to tell her and as his eyes focused back on her and his expression changed Evangeline just knew that whatever Scott had to tell her would change her life forever.

The real question if is it would be for better or for worse.

(A/N: Hey so I honestly have no idea what came over me today but I came across a new comment in my notifications and ended up reading the rest on the last chapter and couldn't help but write this today and post it!!

I'll be completely honest I don't have my laptop right now and am on phone so please excuse any bad grammar or errors.

I also want to say that I genuinely don't know when I will update again or if I will update again I really don't want to force chapters out and completely wreck this book for the people who genuinely like it ((for some reason I can't fathom as I really hate most of this fic)) however todays post was because of how so many of you seemed desperate for a new chapter so I hope this satisfies you for now and I'll be back whenever I'm back peace!!!)
