Chapter 15 - [Chapter —15]

The drive to to Allison's was taking longer than he expected, all the while he stared at Scott whose aura flared wildly around the car.

At some point it had flared so much that it touched him and he felt the magnitude of his anger.

Sighing to himself he felt like groaning.

He didn't understand where his anger came from, actually that was a lie.

He knew exactly why he was angry, it could only be Allison and probably due to him being the only one who managed to bypass his defences back in the lacrosse tryouts.

He almost immediately wanted to confront the boy but didn't, not today atleast. He didn't want to piss him further into transforming and mauling him, he didn't know how he fared to the supernatural world afterall.

Though, he had wolfsbane tightly sealed in a packet on his pocket for when shit started get messy, he reminded himself to always have it in his person just in case.

His thoughts on how he could possibly incapacitate his brother were stilled when Scott spoke.

"*sigh* The One time, Markus." Scott began with a sigh, his grip on the steering wheel causing it to groan.

" What?" He asked, genuinely confused and a bit weary.

" The one time when I think my life is getting on track." Scott said, heat in his voice." The one time where my life is going well for me, you come in and you mess it up."

His muscles tensed at that, an unknown bubbling sensation of irritation and anger slowly rising.

" Pardon me?" He accentuated, his eyes narrowing into a scowl.

" You know damn well what I mean, Markus." Scott literally growled out, his eyes squinting at the mirror he looked him through.

" Lacrosse." Scott said as if that single word would suddenly make him understand stupidity he was spilling.

" What about lacrosse?" He asked him, his irritation still growing at the useless chatter.

" Don't think I'm stupid!" He said heated up." I was gonna tryout and make it to the team and then suddenly you showed up! You come in waltzing in and suddenly all everyone is talking about is you, to make matters worse now that you came back everyone is calling me 'Second McCall'!"

He kept quiet at that, knowing that his rant wasn't over as he digested his brothers words.

" Then when I was actually getting the recognition that I deserved, you ruined it! You embarassed me!" At this point he was breathing out of his mouth, his eyes rarely looking at the road just to look at him in the mirror instead.

" Now don't you think all of this is just lining up to well to be just a coincidence?" He asked, slightly calming down before looking back at the road.

" Are you serious right now?" He finally asked, his anger slightly evaporating but his annoyance still rising enough that he gave his brother a pitying look and a light chuckle.

" You're mad that I scored against you in lacrosse?" He chuckled after saying that." Newsflash, I wasn't the only one who scored on you, the first guy also did and I don't see you directing all this..." He felt like saying hate but stopped himself. " -these emotions at him."

" No! I'm not mad that you fucking scored, god damnit!" He shouted slamming his hand on the dashboard denting it in the process." I'm mad because everytime you show your stupid face I'm always sidelined! Everyone choses you and I have to walk in your shadow, picking at the scraps you leave behind, it's not fair!"

That had him pausing, for the first time since he knew Scott he had never truly let what troubled him loose like this.

Too bad that he truly didn't care though for it.

" Ohhhhh? And that's my fault how Scott!?" He shouted back. " How is it any of this my fault?! Huh?!"

" It is your fault! You always take everything that I love! Lacrosse and now Allison!-" Scott shouted, before he stopped himself from saying more, realisation dawning on him that he probably said more than he should've.

But it was already too late, he got what he truly wanted to hear.

"Hah!" He laughed, not truly amused, but just to rile the boy up.

This of course he understood was not a good idea, a werewolf who's angry and wants to rip your throat out isn't a situation any normal person would want to get into willingly.

He was no normal person though, that much was clear.

" 'All' this fucking shit is because of a girl?" He asked him, pity and disappointment being emulated on his face perfectly with help from [Acting].

" Yes!"Scott shouted!" Allison is the only girl that I have ever truly liked so much!"

" Bullshit!" He shouted back almost reflexively.

" Is it out of spite Markus?" He asked, his voice lowering to one of accusation." All of this, first you take lacrosse from me and now you're after Allison? Are you doing all of this just to spite me?!"

Hearing that he almost felt like doubling down laughing, not knowing why he found this now genuinely funny all of a sudden.

" What did I ever do to you huh?!" He said, so riled up that the leather on the steering wheel tore a bit." You've already taken our mothers love from me, you have fame and everyone likes you, you're good at studies and even an athlete! So why else would you do this other than to spite me huh?!?"

" Nothing! I want nothing from you and I have taken nothing from you Scott!" He shouted." On the topic of our mother, if you so much as tried to fucking connect and actually be a son instead of wallowing in your self pity then, just fucking maybe you'd fucking see how messed up what you're implying of our mother truly is!"

" As for Allison? Please, she is the one that came to me, she is the one who's interested in me and not the other way around, got it?"

" That's a fucking lie!"

" Believe whatever you want then, I don't care!" He groaned out almost feeling like punching the boy for his stupidity and stubbornness.

After that they settled in quiet anger, mostly for the fact that they had to stop, they were at Allison's house.

His attention though was focused on the screen infront of him.
