Part 9 : The present

Friday night was soooo amazing ! We had a lot of fun, the DJ was incredible (I still wonder if Isaac and Alli did dance together to choose him), and I learned so much more about everyone in the gang. Turns out it so much easy to be honest when you're drunk. That's how I learned Lydia once dated a Kanima, kind of a lezard-man, who turned out to be gay, and had a Romeo and Juliet fantasy while dating a werewolf from an enemy pack except she survived and he died. That's when she started crying. I also learned that Scott and Kira did kiss once long ago ! Shocking, isn't it ? Scott and Allison always seemed the perfect couple to anyone but they are not at all ! And it turns out they aren't really happy together right now so yesterday they had THE conversation that was gonna change it all :

- Scott, we need to talk.

- Yeah, I think we do.

- I wanna break up with you.

- Yeah, me too.

Allison laughs.

- You're okay with that ?

- Yeah.

- Why ? Don't you love me anymore ? asks Scott, in schok.

- You're my first love ! I will always love you. But not as much as in the beginning. And even if you try to deny it, you're in love with Kira !

- What ? No I'm not !

Alli looks at him with suspicion.

- Maybe ? tries Scott.

She laughs but keeps looking at him with intrusive eyes.

- Yeah... But what about you ?

- I might have a crush.

- No way !!

- Shut up.

- Who is it ? Wait ! If it is who I think it is, then he likes you back.

- You think so ?

- Absolutely ! conclues Scott.

He whispers :

- Wait, we're talking about Isaac, right ?

- Yes.

I'm so happy Alli likes Isaac because guess what ? Isaac likes Alli !

- Oh okay. continues Scott, feeling stupid. Then go ahead ! Ask him out !

- Yeah... But I should probably ask Lydia for advices or she'll be real mad at me.

- We're good ?

- We're good. Go get Kira !

- I will.

- Don't wait too long.

- I won't I promise !

They say that when people are drunk, they have the tendency to confess their darkest thoughts, the thoughts they would never speak up about sober. But in that case, Scott and Alli weren't even drunk. So I'm not sure but I think they're not together anymore. But I don't think our pack knows it yet. They were pretty discrete at the party and they didn't yell so nobody really paid attention to their couple. Except me, who could hear every single person in the loft breathing, talking, smelling ! I really have to figure out what is wrong with me, this is becoming urgent.

So it is saturday afternoon, we were all hangover from the party but it was still a great day. There was sunset and when I told Cora her birthday was not over yet, she was happy. We all slepped at the loft and cleaned everything in the morning. Then we invited everyone in our big family-pack. There were the Hales : Malia, Dereck and Peter ; the McCall-Argent : Melissa, Chris, Scott and Alli ; Liam's pack : Liam, Hayden, Corey and Mason ; the rest of Scott's pack : Kira, Lydia and Stiles ; and finally Isaac and me, and Theo and Cora, the birthday girl.

Everybody gave their present to Cora : she got clothes from Alli and Lydia, money from Dereck and Peter... I gave her two tickets for the Rihanna concert for the both of us and also two tikets to get there. She was so happy that she officially declared it was her favorite gift of all ! I told her it was from me and Isaac because my big brother had absolutely no idea what to offer her since, I quote, he didn't speak the girl language or the wolf language for that matter.

All the presents were open, except one. When I gave it to Cora she told me :

- I don't think that one's for me. It's for you.

- But... It's not my birthday !

- For you and your brother. completed Melissa.

- For us ? What is it ? asks Isaac.

- Open it and you'll see. said Chris Argent.

I open the present carefully with Isaac watching over my shoulder, as curious and suprised as I am.

- We were really moved by your story about your family that you told us the other night when you were at our house. says Melissa.

- So we got you this gift. says Chris.

Flashback of last week, at the McCall-Argent house :

- Guys, it's time. says Alli.

- Time for what ? I ask.

- I told Allison about you know what. tells me my brother.

- And it's time that you open up and tell the whole pack the truth. You need to. And you can trust us.

- What truth ? asks Stiles, intrigued.

- Why do you run from your dad ? And what happend to your mom ? It must be a painful memory but you can share it with us. Anyway, we won't judge.

- You know what ? I'm suddenly confident and ready to tell my friends everything. One secret less is always a good thing. Everybody come here ! It's story time !

That's how me and Isaac officially told everyone we knew how awfull our childhood has been, between our mom dying, our dad chasing us... I silented the part where I killed Caroline Forbes, I'm not ready to come clean about that just yet.

End of the flashback.

Back to the present, I open the gift and...

- Are those ?

- Adoption papers ! responds Scott.

- You just have to sign them and you will officially be a part of the McCall-Argent family ! complets Allison.

- Wait... Does that mean that when Scott and Allison were dating, they were boyfriends and girlfriends AND brothers and sisters ?

- Yeah... says Alli, quite ashamed.

I decide to change the subject.

- So you'll be my big sister ! That's awesome, I already consider you and Lydia as my big sisters !

- And Scott will be my brother ! continues Isaac.

- Weird...

- That you're all abou tot be siblings ? asks Chris.

- And that the Scalison part is gonna happen again. Soon, I hope.

I look at Isaac and Alli to make them understand I'm talking about them. Chris notices it but thinks I'm looking at Scott so he gasps :

- You like Scott ?!

I laugh.

- What ? he asks, confused.

- Nothing. says Melissa. She was laughing too because she understood what my eyes were actually pointing at.

- So ? Are you gonna sign the papers or do you need to think about it ?

I look at Isaac. I can tell he's thinking the same thing as I am right now.

- We're signing. No need to think about it, we know you're family already.
