There was no way Hayley was gonna belive that. She could see with her own eyes in what condition he was. Emotionally. ” Look Jackson, I’m still here if you need me.” She said with a frown, looking at him. ” Me being a Hybrid doesn’t change anything between us. ” She said , hoping to get trough to him. ” I know you’re not fine.”

"I know it doesn't, Hayley." Jackson whispered. "But I don't know what you expect me to do. I'm alone. The wolves chose to follow a witch instead of me. I have almost no one left to lose, you're probably the last person who would even care if I died." Jackson felt himself falling apart at the seams.

As soon as she heard his voice, she let out a relieved sigh and was standing in front of him within seconds. Thanks to her supernatural speed of course. ” Hey.. I was worried about you. ” She said with a slight frown even though she hated admitted that. He didn’t look that good. Not at all. And she was pretty sure that that wasn’t just because of Oliver.

"I'm fine, Hayley." He said gently. Yeah, that was a massive lie. He almost asked her if he looked as horrible as he felt, because he felt like shit. "But I appreciate you coming all the way out here just to check on little old me." He'd been thinking a lot about what Oliver had said before he'd been killed by a witch's spell. You can save them. But could he really?

”We will just say we like the asshole company” Craig cringed as soon as he imagined. Him and them in the same room all chilled? Haha. No

"If I were you, I'd leave the word asshole out." He said. The thought of being in the same room with both Original brothers was less than appealing, but he'd do it for Hayley.

Hayley frowned a little as she was making her way through the woods. After last night, she wanted to check up on him since she was a little worried. Hayley didn’t know if Oliver’s death bothered him as much as it did her. She thought she heard something several times already, but whenever she looked around there was no one there. Not even her supernatural senses were helping at that point. ”Jackson? Are you here?” She called, letting her gaze wander around her surroundings once again.

Jackson wanted to be alone. And so far, he had gotten his wish. Ansel had not returned from last night. He'd spent the entire night and most of today mourning. Not just for Oliver, but for everyone he had lost. His mom, his dad. Eve. Oliver. His brother. Every member of the pack they'd lost as a result of the bombing. He sighed when he heard Hayley's voice. "I'm here." He called after some serious internal debate.

”I am good at annoying people”

"Do you think Hayley will suspect something?"

”We will just accept Hayley’s offer and live there. You take Elijah. I take Klaus.”

Jackson was glad he'd gotten the less volatile one. "Sounds like a plan."

”We just need to cockblock her when she is the original assholes”

"But we can't be obvious about it." How exactly had they gone form awkwardness to plotting?

I’m .. Hope .” She took a deep breath nodding slightly ” I just .. I was told there was a pack here and.. I need a safe place to be.. I don’t want to activate the curse” Hope muttered with a frown figured this was a suitable lie.

"There was a pack here. Now there's just me. But you'll be safe." Jackson said. "I'm the alpha." He told her. But at the same time, a part of him felt like she wasn't being completely truthful. Hey, as long as she wasn't out to hurt him or the others.

”I prefer none of you for her but I just to stake them. I need a white oak garden”

"That you would."

”Original assholes you mean?”

"Yes."

Who’re you?

"I'm Jackson, and you are?"

”Tell me you don’t like my sister”

"Even if I did, it's not me she's interested in. It's those vampires."

     Tatia pulled her hand back and dropped her gaze. ❛ I am so sorry, Jackson. I—I wish I could do that for you. He didn’t deserve to die——none of you do. This ongoing war is becoming too much. ❜ As he spoke, she leaned over and wrapped her arms around him. She  didn’t care if it was awkward or unwanted. 

Jackson nodded. "That's why I've been hiding out here in the bayou instead of being in the city. Because I feel safer out here than I ever did in that city." He was surprised when she wrapped her arms around him, but responded to in kind, nestling close to her as he tried not to break down.

alreadyxalpha we two need to plot. I need some awkward Jackson/Craig  interaction *-*

Yes, absolutely!

The teen watched him a moment. The wolf wasn’t like some of the other people she’d met. Hope washed and started cutting the rest of the vegetables, the shrimp already cleaned and deveined. “She must trust you if she told you I was still alive..cause I thought only my aunt and uncle were told the truth..”

"I like to think she does. We're a part of the same pack, her and I." He told her as she moved on to cutting the onions, the bell peppers already cut. He was going to use a different knife and cutting board for the sausage, for obvious reasons. "Pack is a big deal for me." Did he dare tell her why? "When I was little, my parents were slaughtered. My pack was my family, even though I wasn't related to any of them by blood. They raised me."
