[...wow. Wow. To tell Isaac not to interfere with Jackson is one thing, but then to turn around and try to make Erica his babysitter? Isaac feels a sudden spark of anger there, even more than he had when he'd been talking to Derek about this himself.
Erica is not responsible for him- Isaac has told her this, and she knows this, why can't Derek seem to get it? Why can't his alpha understand that Isaac will fight his own battles, hold his own grudges? After Derek used them to fight in his own war, after he gets Erica killed- ?
It's hypocritical, and the thought of it makes Isaac's stomach lurch.]
im not gonna lie i kind of want to punch derek right now
I know its complicated i can tell that and i don't even know everything that happens back home, but we need to also be able to do this on our own. what if he leaves? what if something happens and its not easy to forgive and move on?
[It's a tiny slice of the Erica that was ready to leave, even if she's not even sure who that is.]
he can always come to us, you know. he did once before, right? when he needed us? why do we have to go to him?
and to answer your first question: i didnt do anything. i told derek that i wanted to live in a different district than jackson and he started telling me to leave him alone
i know youre not an idiot, isaac. if i thought that would i be sharing the messages?
i trust you and im going to be on your side here. i dont owe derek anything here. all of this all the things i have i got myself. my doctors. my treatment.
I wont fight your battles. im just willing to fight with you.
[And that... honestly means more to him than anything else she could have said. He's, frankly, never had that before.]
...im not some kind of loose canon i wasnt going to just jump out and attack him out of nowhere. derek he just completely ignored every reason i tried to give him. you were right he is protecting him. and after everything ive done and everything hes done i just...
[It's not that the title is important to her. She's not Stiles or Scott where she thinks she's going to be doing ridiculous things with Isaac in the middle of the day. There doesn't have to be silly inside jokes -- even if they do seem to have a lot more open conversation flow these days. Less... filtering, if any at all, but she still likes knowing that he considers her someone important.]
i didnt think you would just go shadows blazing and try to confront him. if you want to talk about it more later we can.
