Chapter Two of Songs Of You (Trails & Tribulation)

Step one, you say we need to talk. He walks, you say sit down, it's just a talk, He smiles politely back at you. You stare politely right on through Some sort of window to your right.

Mason walked away keeping them in his sight as he calls one of their group. “ Hey, Mas is everything alright? ” He hears Corey voice and tries to let it soothe him. “N-no… No nothing is alright Core… Theo i-is in a coma, they lost him a few times.”

He could hear the others and someone crying, and another deeper voice with an accent in the background talking. “ Damn it… Look right now Denton is trying to do the riddle talk but he is willing to help us. Keep an eye on Liam, We will try to keep the others away. Should I send over anyone? ”

Mason wasn’t sure, it wouldn’t hurt if they had an extra hand but at the same time what could they all do? They are just waiting here, The others are trying to figure out what is in the vial but not everyone needed to be there. God, he felt so damn tired and scared. “ Mas? You still there baby? ”

Mason took a shaky breath, “I-i don’t know god, I don’t know right now Cor. I keep hoping this is all a bad dream, that we will wake up passed out at Theo’s and he is looking at us with that exasperated look. That everything is all fine but it's not Cor… He might not wake up, and his body isn’t healing, and our only hope is for Denton to help us or something else…”

He stops cause it feels like something is lodge in his throat, it was a sob he was fighting against. “ Mas we will find something anything to help him, we can’t lose any hope. We would do anything for him ‘cause he would do everything to save us, to help us. He didn’t have to, he didn’t know us or owe us anything but he did so we will do the same. ”

Mason nodded before realizing he was on the phone, “Yeah you're right. I think you should send Josh and You. We might have company cause Mrs.McCall seen us and knows so that means the others will find out.”

He could hear something in the background and Corey voice becomes muffled for a minute. He was confused but he guess they were saying something, so Liam didn’t hear. Glancing over he could Liam just sitting now but looking at his hands.

He made a face, “Guys just get here I don’t want to try to deal with them by myself cause if Li becomes aware during them, I won’t try to hold him back.” With that he hangs up. Slowly making his way over to his friend, no words were spoken and even if there was Mason wouldn’t have been to say anything.

As he goes left, and you stay right, Between the lines of fear and blame you begin to wonder why you came. Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness.

Melisa knew deep down that something was off, she heard whisper arguments between Stiles and Scott for a while but she figured it was some supernatural thing and hadn’t wanted to drag her in. But now as she looked at Theo’s prone form on the Hospital bed hooked up to machines to help him breath, to LIVE.

She wonders if she should of press but she couldn’t believe this was from Scott or Stiles she helped raise her son and Stile since they were kids. But the memories of the Mason and Liam and their anger, the open honesty and pain. No one could fake that, she moves away pulling her phone out as she passed the nurse station she could hear them whisper about Theo with the concern.

“I heard he flat line on the table a few times and Dr.Greyer refuse to stop bringing him back…”

“I know, I think the boy is friends with his son so it most of hit home for him.”

She had to hurry away as her stomach clenched and she could feel bile rise up her neck. ‘ Please God…’ She hits call bringing the phone up listening to it ring. ‘Tell me It's not true…’ On the third ring her son finally answer.

“Mom is everything okay?” She smiled as tears gathered in her eyes hearing the open concern. “Yeah, But Scottie baby I need you to be honest with me. Is Stiles with you?” She swallowed the lump in her throat hands shaking as she leaned against the door to the bathroom.

“Uh yeah, why?” She could see him doing that little head tilt. “Put me on speaker on need him to answer too.” She could hear some fumbling before hearing Stiles voice. “Scott, Stiles did you do or say anything to a boy Name Theo? Like attack him or bully him?”

“What no! Why?” Scott's voice of alarm but she could hear Stiles mumble something, “Stiles, did you? I mean verbal or physically bully Stiles? And be honest.” ‘ Please say no, please say no…’

Scott was still asking before going quiet. “Stiles!” She yelled thru the phone her nerves and patients running thin. “Maybe I don’t know, I didn’t physically touch him but I guess maybe verbally. Why?” Her heart clenched.

“Cause he is in the hospital, from what I understand from Liam and Mason he attempted… he attempted Suicide and they are putting the blame on you two… Do you not understand how serious these accusations are? Dr.Greyer knows and he won’t hesitate to put these in a report and report this to the proper authorities and the others they don’t want you here.”

Everything was silent for a few minutes, “And the worst is his healing isn’t kicking in he flatline on the table a few time, he is in a coma now. So if you dare try to say he is faking it. I swear to god I will ban you from my house and right my own report and Scott we are having a long talk when I get home because I am now incline to believe those boys.”

With that she hung up, she felt more drain sliding down the door bowing her head. “God where did I go wrong? I never thought I would be here.” She wanted to cry, to deny that her son and his best friend did this, to hide it or get Dr.Greyer to not put it in his reports. “God does John know?”

She scrolls through her phone before finding his name she hesistated before calling. “Mel, thank god I’m heading up to the hospital is the boys okay?” His panic breathing as he rushed his words. “Y-yeah the boys are fine but John you are not gonna be able to work on the case…”

She never wanted to be someone else more than this moment. “Why, what's wrong?” She slowly stood back up, her bones popping. “Because this case is going to blame your son and Scott. There will no hiding it either, I can’t say anything else John. I have to go back to work.”

It was a weak excuse but a valid one. She hung up before he could say anything and left the bathroom. She walked past the Nurse station and glanced at Theo room. Liam was holding Theo hand running his finger over his knuckle, Mason was on Theo other side and what looked like Corey and Josh if she wasn’t mistaken standing nearby.

She held back hear gasp seeing Liam lean over kissing Theo forehead. “So sad, isn’t it? I hear they had just got together on the kid birthday and then this?” She almost jumped, looking to her left she saw Amanda standing next to her looking sadly at the kids. “Where did you hear that?”

She couldn’t help but ask, “Oh um I happen to overhear the kid telling his friend when I was checking Theo that's the kid name. I know we aren’t supposed to ease drop but it is so sad The other was going to take Theo out on a date he had it planned. He is blaming himself for not seeing the signs. I-i know how that feels my little sister did the same thing I think before I leave want to give him some advice she gave me.”

With that Amanda walked away being paged away, Melisa looked in the direction of Theo’s room one last time and walked away feeling even more sick.

Liam was holding Theo’s hand, the other was always colder than him but this time his hand felt icy, ‘ Like he is dead .’ He tried to banish the though but seeing Theo hooked up to all these machines to help him didn’t help it. “Baby please open those pretty eyes.” He whisper holding his hand tighter, he tried to take his pain, but there was nothing to take.

It was funny, in a morbid way to learn that someone in a Coma couldn’t feel pain. Mason was on his phone his brow frown showing he was in deep though. “Hey it says here that there is a study that if he hears the voice of those he loves it could help him!” He looked up showing his phone.

“And they even suggest some music so if we all keep taking turns talking to him or playing music that it might bring him back or help him find his way back to us!” Corey and Josh looked at him in confusion while it gave Liam some hope. “Do you think it will work on our kind?” Josh asked, his voice was raspy as if he had been screaming nonstop.

“It’s worth a try, until we can figure out what was in the bottle than we can try everything.” Mason stood up walking closer to Theo. “Hey T, it's Mason you gave us a hell of a scared but when you wake up we are having a serious talk. But that can wait for when you are better.”

The room fell silent all wondering how they could of been so blind to miss the signs, how they could of saved a life when they thought it was alright.

And I would have stayed up with you all night had I known how to save a life.

Everyone was silent at the McCall house after Melissa hung up. Lydia thought about the few times she wanted to scream what felt like a few hours ago but they stop before they slipped past her lip. Kira was feeling more and more uncomfortable, her scent filling the room.

Stiles and Scott were looking at each other, neither was to sure. They both knew logically that Mrs.McCall wouldn’t lie about something like this but they never thought that something like this could happen. Scott shifted from one foot to the other, “We should go… See if there is anything we could do.”

“Did you miss the part where your mom said that the others don’t want us up there? Or did you purposely ignore that?” Lydia spoke using Kira to help her stand. She was done and tired of this charade, she should of said something before ‘ Better late than never. ’

“Come on Lyd their kids, besides we should see this could be Theo faking or maybe he got attack by some hunters either way we-” His face was flung to the side from how hard we were slapped. He didn’t feel the pain more so shock at being hit.

“You stop right there, Stiles! This!” She waved her hand to show something but he couldn’t see what.

“This is what got us all in this mess! I get, or maybe I don’t, but ever since you were possessed by the Nogitsune you have been so damn paranoid and untrusting! I am sure if Kira had joined us after that you wouldn’t treat her as badly as Theo!”

She then turned raising her hand as if she was going to slap Scott next. “And You! You haven’t help either you act like you trust or care but you don’t try to stop him! You wait until the damage is done at least I can say I tried! I tried to stop him. Rail in his paranoia, Kira is new she doesn’t know what she can or can’t do but even she has pointed out things.”

She took a deep breath shoulder shagging, hand falling to her side. “Honestly I rather face what I've done than pretend I didn’t. I am no better than either of you but at least I am not being ignorant. I’ve heard the whisper, we changed but not for the better. Call me when you're done being a moron.”

With that she and Kira left, getting in Lydia car. “Where are we going?” Kira whispered looking at the other girl, who had tears in her eyes, face flushed from yelling and now holding back sobs.

“The hospital, I wasn’t kidding I have heard whispers and I have a feeling this isn’t going to get swept under the rug. If we get in front of it we can try to do damage control.”

Let him know that you know best 'Cause after all, you do know best. Try to slip past his defense without granting innocence.

Stiles was pacing as Scott looked on in a confused puppy way. Or maybe it was him still in shock like his mind couldn’t comprehend what was going on. “Fuck, fuck if he did… What if Lydia is right…”

Stiles was muttering to himself, he didn’t want to believe, he couldn’t believe. But deep down he knew he was fucked up from the Nogitsune. He didn’t trust Theo but he could forgive others and learn to trust him. Hell he trust Deucalion than he did Theo and there shouldn’t be any reason he didn’t Theo hasn’t done anything wrong.

Maybe it wasn’t paranoia that was the issue but the fact that Theo eyes reminded him of something and the way he act but he couldn’t place. He isn’t sure, but the fact was that he might not get to fix his problem and this was not one he could ignore until it goes away. He chanced a look at Scott to see his brows frowned and lips set in a thin line and it looked like he was comprehending, and the shock was clearing away.

“Scottie we should try to see him.” Stiles got out, his hands shaking but he tried to mask it by running it thru his hair. “I think it is best to see him with our own eyes, we could sneak into the hospital when the kids are gone.”

Scott looked at him unsure, he wants to respect the wishes but something in him needed to see Theo. To make sure he was still here physically with him, that his heart was still beating. To feel his pulse beat under his touch.

His stomach rolled as he wonder where these feelings were coming from he never felt this for Allison or anyone else. Yet Theo since he has been here his wolf been pawning and ramming itself at the cage he put it wanting to be near Theo to protect him keep him by his side.

“I don’t know Stiles, the others… They have made it clear that they don’t want us there and to be honest what right do we have? If he did do this because of us.” Stiles recoiled because he could hear the Because of you . “Then we shouldn’t and what if there is someone there like Corey he can go invisible. I doubt they would leave him unguarded. They probably are prepared for something like this and really do you want to deal with pissed off were-shifters?”

Stiles frowned before thinking that was true, but he needed to see for himself, to appease the part of himself that he was right that he couldn’t be wrong. But there was nothing to prove, Theo had come out innocence and he targeted him with his silver tongue cutting into his defense where it would bleed.

“Still we should at least check on him and see if we can help. He should of healed and it's not normal for were-shifter to slip into a coma. Maybe Derek knows or at least Peter.” Stiles mutter, head bowed in defeat. Lydia and Scott were right and yet all his emotions and feelings were jumble, he felt like everything was unstable again.

“We will call them then and only then we might go see him.” Scott place a comforting hand on Stiles shoulder before passing him to go to the kitchen.

Lay down a list of what is wrong The things you've told him all along and pray to God he hears you and I pray to God he hears you.

Liam wasn’t sure how he ended up here but he knew the others forced him out saying to wash up and get changed. That they could handle watching Theo for a while, but here he was cleaned and standing in a church. He hasn’t been to one since he was Nine.

He looked around the old church, the feeling was still the same warmth but absent was the best way to describe it. He walked to the podium that held candles some lit but most unlit. He grabbed the box of matches and flicks it the sparks, the sizzle, the burst of heat. He could only see Theo each memory flicker before settling on the way he found him.

He brings the watch to a candle before getting down to pray, begging anyone that could hear him to please don’t let him loose the other. He knew he fell for day for Theo when they met, it was why he stuck close to him. He was working up the courage to ask him when Theo kissed him.

If he knew what he knew now he would of just taken the other and ran to take him anywhere but here. “I don’t want to know what it's like without him here and I don’t want to learn.” He whisper feeling the tears burning his eyes.

He could remember how him and the others would argue and fight with Stiles and the others, showing proof that Theo wasn’t anything that Stiles though he was. How Malia would be close to attacking, Mason shouting with righteous anger and how he be close to exploding.

They would do it when Theo was out with one of the others, even tho Theo would say it didn’t bother him they knew it did. Everything Stiles would list they would have something to counter it but it never went anywhere the other too stubborn. Scott doing nothing but trying to play devil advocate and Lydia would nod and side with them but it did nothing in the end.

He felt himself getting angry and he knew it would do no one any good but right now he rather feel the anger than this pain. The memory of Theo flashed before his eyes and his words echoing. “ If you could have one wish, what would it be? ”

He could of sworn he felt Theo arms wrapping around him from behind, the soothing scent that always seem to relax him was faintly there and the brief kiss he felt place on his head. “To have you here with me…” He whisper looking around but no one was there, he bowed his head the anger long gone replaced with the pain.

He ended up leaving pulling his phone out, his home screen was a picture that Hayden had snapped. It was Liam giving Theo a piggyback ride because he somehow hurt his leg, Liam had said something that had Theo laughing head thrown back and it caused Liam to smile in the picture.

He could remember that day it was one of the few that the puppy pack had got Theo to come hang out away from the town. They listen to Josh, who found a place for them to hang out and Theo relaxed with each mile they got further from Beacon Hill.

They had fun roughing housing and being the kids they couldn’t be here. Josh challenge Theo to a contest which caused Theo to get hurt but he laughed it off, eyes wide and excitement in the air. Liam rolling his eyes but smiling and carrying Theo around even when he was healed because Theo never told him to stop rather going along with it.

He looked up to see his Mom there standing by her car. “Mom…” His voice cracked and she smiled sadly, she adored Theo. She and her husband knew the minute Liam came home talking about the boy that their son was in love.

Liam rushed into her arms and sobbed crying out his pain, hurt and worries just holding his mom. She held onto him blinking her tears back because both her boys were hurting and she knew her husband was also hurting as well. She needed to be strong for all three of her boys and when she was alone she could break but for now she was the shield they need.

‘Please don’t take his sunshine away.’

And where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness. And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life.

Derek was laying in bed when his phone rang, he felt something was off but pushed it off. He was leaning to grab his phone when he pause hearing a knock on his door. He sniffed the air and made a face but it was Uncle, but he smelt distress and anger.

“Derek answer the door I know you are awake. Don’t you dear answer that call!” Now he knew something was truly wrong, normally he would ignore his uncle but the way he was talking made him pull his hand away from his phone and roll out of bed.

He padded his way to his front door, only to be shoved out of the way. He raised a brow but watched how his uncle who usually is pulled together pace his living room floor. He could hear Cora stirring upstairs in her own room.

Derek had a feeling this was going to be a long night already.

As he begins to raise his voice, You lower yours and grant him one last choice. Drive until you lose the road Or break with the ones you've followed.

David was grateful to see his wife and his son cleaned up. Pulling Liam back into a side hug when he sees John stepping out of the Elevator with a few Deputies. “Liam why don’t you go sit with the others.”

He didn’t want his son to hear any of this and hoped the machines would mask the conversation. “Wh-.” He knew Liam smelled the other, baste on the rigged form he took and the shake of his fist.

“Go.” He pushed his son and stood to bloke John from seeing his son, Jenna must have understood and stepped up next to him. Her usually happy smile and bright eyes were gone, there stood the fierce and independent woman, who could bend a court to her will.

“Hello Sheriff Stilinski, I wasn’t notified that you arrived. If you would just follow me to my office.” He glanced back thankful to see Liam gone. “Oh Dr.Greyer there would be no need for that, one of the nurses informed us and they said it looked more like an accident. You know kids probably a trick or prank gone wrong.”

David, stilled looking at the man in front of him. He notice how the hard look in his eyes, but the sweat dripping down the side of his temple. The stiff upper lip and twitch in his hand like he wanted to ball his fist up. “With all due respect to the nursing staff. But I can tell you and even show you with other consulting doctors this is not an accident or prank. This is a Nineteen-year-old boy who is laying in the hospital with self-inflicted injury after being attacked.”

He straighten his back and tilted his head staring the other man down as he felt his wife hand on his back giving him strength to continue talking over the other. “From what I understand from others Theo is a good kid, only has seven close friends. He is well like by teachers and most of the student bodies but he is being bullied. If you think I will change my mind you will find I won't, I know what those marks are and the sign.”

John eyed the man, eyes flickering behind him as if he was looking for Theo himself. He was very much like Stiles and right now the anger he usually kept under control not wanting to feed stereotypes was boiling under his skin.

“Now if you would kindly follow me into my office or maybe you would like to question my colleges.” Jenna looked at her husband before stepping forward. “Maybe Sheriff, you know something we don’t. Maybe something personal?”

Her smile was like a wolf, all teeth and eyes just as hard. Even though he was taller it was like she was staring him down, seeing all his secrets. “Now wait a min-.”

Jenna held her hand up silencing him, she wouldn’t stand for someone to yell at her. “No you wait a minute, My son’s boyfriend! A boy I love like my own is laying in a coma. We can do this the right way or I can drown your department in legal papers after I am done Suing you, the school and anyone else involve.”

John couldn’t speak, looking shock while David just smile. No one else knew that his sweet darling innocent wife is a Attorney. She could do most of her work at home, but there would be a time when she needed to travel but right now if she got her firm involved they would gladly take it.

With that she turned on her heels, looking at her husband, “I think we would like to go to your office now, Dr.Greyer.” He smiled nodding his head. “Of course follow me Attorney Greyer, Sheriff.”

Hayden and the others showed up at Theo’s room looking more tired but cleaned up. “He said it would take some time to analyze the liquid, it's not something he is truly familiar with.” She manage to get out before falling into an empty seat.

Mason nodded leaning against Corey, they didn’t expect a miracle but it wouldn’t have hurt if there was one. ‘ Can’t we catch a break in this town.’ He closed his eyes not realizing he was falling asleep till Corey was shaking him.

“Hey why don’t I take you home?” Corey whisper, Mason shook his head. “No, No I want to stay here.” He whisper back, in all honesty why he wouldn’t mind going home, he didn’t want Theo to be alone nor be left with the memories of today.

The other’s shared a glance, for a moment they could all understand. No one really wanted to be alone right now. “I think we should go over to Theo’s to get it cleaned up for when he wakes up. Maybe just stay over so no one does anything.”

Tracey suggested, it would give them something to do when they couldn’t visit and maybe they would find some more clues to save him. Or at least help them understand how they missed this.

They were all talking about it, when Liam enters the room. Josh took one looked and placed a hand on Tracey waist. “What’s wrong?” Everyone went silent, waiting for the answer before Liam could speak they caught a faint scent.

“What is it?” Mason asked looking at everyone tense body. “Mom and Dad are dealing with the Sheriff, he was asking Dad if he was sure Theo injury weren’t from an accident or some prank gone wrong.”

“You got to be fucking kidding me!” Tracey was trying to calm Josh down, but her own rage was causing her to partial shift. “I could get the fucking side injury but those on his arms are clearly self-inflicted.”

It was clear what the Sheriff was trying to do, but they couldn’t let this be hidden. “I have an ideal but shoot it down. We not be able to fight him physically but we can make sure that everyone knows the truth.”

Mason moved from Corey side, Holding his phone in front of him. “We can share it on every social media site. Snapchat, Insta, Twitter, and even Tumblr. Get the word out so they can’t hide it, get ahead of them from being able to form the narrative.”

Malia tilted her head while she was still learning she could get behind it, Liam tilted his head before nodding looking at Theo. “I just hope he doesn’t get to upset when he wakes up.” The fragile hope clear in his hope.

“If we are going to do this we need to hurry, I hear them getting heated and man Li I didn’t know your dad had a vicious side, but your mom is terrifying.” Corey tilted his head listening before shaking his head and pulling his phone out with the others.

“I know, that's why I try not to make her to upset.” They took pictures of Theo and did some tasteful filter before typing a message hinting at what happen, and carefully pointing out the cause without, out right saying whose to blame. It would take a while before it circulates through the student body and being shared.

He will do one of two things, He will admit to everything Or he'll say he's just not the same.

Lydia and Kira manage to make it to the Hospital, they could see some chaos already going down. Cop cars in the parking lot along with some people outside. She frown when see realize some of them from their school.

Slipping through under the pretense of needing to get checked out they made their way through the hospital. Asking what room their friend was in, they begin making their way up the intensive care unit.

The more they got closer the more her stomach rolled. “Nothing good comes from this floor.” She mumbles under her breath, Kira looked at her in concern.

“We don’t know that for sure.” She whispered back, holding Lydia hand tightly. She flash a reassuring smile, but Lydia couldn’t return it not with this feeling consuming her.

As soon as they got close to the door, it was like a scene from the movies where the people in the room turned their heads looking at them. Malia placed her hand down on Liam shoulder stopping him from getting up. She mutter something before walking out of the room.

“What do you think you two are doing here?” She cut straight to the point, It was one of the things Lydia likes about her. “We wanted to check on Theo, a-and apologize.”

Malia stared at them, there had been very few times Lydia had been uncomfortable and she could add this to that small list. “Why? Why now after everything? Why not before?”

Lydia looked at Kira before turning back to Malia. “We never agreed with Stiles and we tried to stop him and his behavior and even get Scott to agree. But today, today was too much for us. We were already planning on apologizing to Theo for this when we got the news.”

Malia frowned looking over her shoulder, She could hear the truth in her heartbeat but that still didn’t matter in the end not to any of them. But maybe it would help Theo, maybe if he knew that one cause of his pain was sorry and it wouldn’t hurt to have more help.

“Wait here.” With that she turned walking back into the room, it wasn’t her decision to make alone. “Should we?” She asked, there was no point in reciting as she knew they heard everything and someone would say something to Mason.

“I say no, even if she is telling the truth it obviously didn’t have any effect.” Hayden growled softly, Tracey backing her up along with Josh.

“I think we should, for Theo. If he heard her maybe he would be responsive plus maybe Kira mom could be of some use.” Mason threw his in, Malia nodded backing him along with Corey.

Everyone turned to Liam who was holding Theo hand, he would break the tie. Whatever decision they would back him. He pressed his head against Theo hand trying to stay calm and think. “Let them… If they aren’t any help then we can ignore them. When Theo wakes up we can come to the choice if they can or cannot be around.”

He looked at them brows frowned, “But that doesn’t mean they are forgiven or to be alone with him. If they hurt him one more time that it.” Everyone nodded, they could see he wasn’t joking as he went to holding Theo hand to his head. Counting his heartbeat and listening to his pulse.

Malia went back out to let Lydia and Kira in, everyone kept their eyes on them and Liam as he tensed up but slowly relaxed enough focusing more on Theo to anchor himself.

“What can we do to help?”

And you'll begin to wonder why you came, Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness. And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life.

Scott and Stiles slipped into the Hospital when they figure most have left, they had passed some of the cars that they knew belong to the pack. Still they knew it would be best if they avoided others just in case.

Scott made a face when, hearing some nurses talking about a boy in the ICU. Relaying the information to Stiles, they both agreed it had to be Theo. “I still feel we should wait.” Scott mumbles out as they moved into the elevator in time for some cops to round the corner.

“Come on Scottie, besides we can check on him. We can also make see if a hunter did anything to him.” Stiles tried to reassure him. Scott just made a face but agreed slowly relaxing. His phone vibrated in his pocket but he ignored it. Right now he didn’t want to deal with anymore problems, not after the disaster call they had with Peter, they only talked with him because Derek and Cora wasn’t answering them.

That and Peter had the most knowledge out of the group. ‘ Still we could of called Chris but… He would ask to many questions.’

Scott sighed running a hand down his face and winced his head was hurting from fighting with his wolf since they heard the news, no he admitted to himself it's been fighting with him for a while. Maybe it knew something he didn’t but now it's just been worst.

They stepped out of the elevator once they were sure the cost was clear. Scott used his nose to search separating the scents till he found the scent of Theo mixed with the other packs. Following it, they stopped outside the door seeing Theo so pale and small in the hospital bed. Wrapped in bandages, connected to the machine.

He had a tube down his throat to breathe for him, his hair framing his face, long lashes that brush his cheeks. He didn’t move, or react if he knew was going on around him. He looked like he was asleep.

“Sleeping beauty…” Scott looked at Stiles, but the other didn’t seem aware of the words that slipped out. Still as he looked back he could agree silently. Reaching out to open the sliding door, his fingers didn’t even brush against the handle before stopping hearing a crash down the hall.

“What the hell do you two think you are doing here?” Scott cursed silently as he looks, there standing in the hall was Liam, around his feet was some snack from a vending machine.

“Fuck.” Scott agreed again with Stiles this was bad ‘cause Liam look ready to murder someone as his eyes flashed Gold.

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness. And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life.

Brett was laying in his bed reading a book he needed for his paper in English when his sister barged into his room without knocking. Normally he would complain and maybe growl at her as a warning but he didn’t do that night. She looked stricken as she was holding her phone in a crushing grip he was surprised it didn’t break under her grip.

“Brett did you see?” Her voice was shaking as she didn’t take her eyes off her phone, her thumb scrolling as if she was looking at something. “See what?” He asked sitting his book down, looks like he won’t get to do his essay.

“Look at your phone, check either Snap or Insta.” He looked at her before shrugging and clicks the first app he saw, all over his feed was a post from Liam and his friend talking about some guy. He felt sick seeing the picture and others reposting and commenting and then he saw it each pointing a finger at Scott McCall.

Their pack had talked about possibly making an alliance with the Teen, but if what is said is true. Then maybe, they shouldn’t. But Brett couldn’t help but wonder, there had to be more about this situation than is letting on and one person he knew even if they didn’t get along wouldn’t lie to him about this.

“Do you think it is true?” Lori asked him, he almost forgot about her, he looked up from his phone seeing the look in her eyes. “I do, but I also think we should get all the fact before saying something.”

She narrowed her eyes at him, “How do you think we are going to get it? The others will be seeing this soon if they haven’t already.” It was true they were working on limited time if they are seeing this and what looked like this was posted about a couple hours ago than they needed to do so fast.

“We will have to calm someone, see if they will tell us or meet up with us and explain everything. If it is true we will tell Satomi what we learned.” Lori nodded slowly before looking back at her phone frowning. “Poor kid…”

He sighed knowing Lori is a bleeding heart at times, “We can visit if you want.” She flashed him a smile before turning only to pause only to shake her head and leave with a silent clink of the door shutting behind her.

How to save a life, How to save a life. Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness. And I would have stayed up with you all night, Had I known how to save a life.

Chris was laying back in his car taking a break as he was making his way to surprise his partner when his phone rang. “Speak of the devil.” He smirk hitting answer and speaker. “Hell-” Before he could finish he heard the angry growl.

He knew each one of Peter’s growl and sounds, this one was an angry but distressed Peter. “Christopher Jenson Argent, you best tell me the truth.” Peter growled lowly, he could hear the rustling as if he was moving.

“Full name, okay what did I do?” He ran through a list, he didn’t forget any important dates, did he leave something dangerous out? Oh, shit did Peter find the little box? He made sure his heart didn’t change but he was looking around and feeling his pocket, he swore he grabbed it when he last visited.

“I don’t know, did you maybe tell or help the boys but a child in the hospital in a coma!” He paused, mouth pulled down as his brows frowned. “Come again?”

He could hear Peter pause, as if listening before a small huff. “Stiles and Scott called me cause Derek and Cora wasn’t answering and gave me the most terrible lie mixed with truth. From what I could gather something happen and a kid Theo I think. He is in the hospital in a coma with his healing factor not working. But I also gather they had something to do with it both hearts stutter when they tried to deny it. But Scott not the brightest and Stiles might have needed help so I am asking you because they could of lied or stole from you.”

Chris ran through his week, nothing was missing from his supplies, he didn’t get any strange text or call from the teens, but that wasn’t unusual per se. “No, look how about I turn around and head back. I know we planned for us to have a getaway but if they are involved then-”

He was interrupted again this time he can hear some muffle voices, more than likely they were Derek and Cora. “No you are not going alone! Come get me I swear Chris if you leave me I will kick you to the couch. Look we are all getting pack so come get us.”

He smirked he knew it was a bold face lie Peter would kick him to the couch but would crawl on top to rest with him all while grumbling about the bed being cold. “Okay, I will get there fast and lets see what else we can gather while we drive. Derek see if you can find anything else out, Cora try to find information on the kid and Peter calm down.”

Before his partner could say anything to him, he hung up and tossed his phone to the side, turning his car back on and merged back on the road.

“What the hell is happening back in that town?” He mumbles, this was looking to be a headache.

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness and I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life.

Liam marched his way over to get them away from his Theo. Stiles moved a little behind Scott just encase this ended in a fight. “Liam, kiddo come on. We are allowed to check on pack mates.”

Scott shot him a look before facing Liam, flashing his eyes at Liam but it didn’t seem to do anything more than make the other madder. “You never consider him that before and I know for a fact he didn’t feel like he belong! So, no you are not allowed.”

He wanted to punch that pale freckle face, he let a low growl as he forced his way between them and the door. He looked over at the desk seeing some nurses looking.

Thankfully he knew they didn’t see the eyes, but he caught one and waved at them. He needed to stay in control for Theo. “Please call security they are not allowed anywhere near him!” Making Scott and Stiles jump.

“No we are allowed! We are his childhood friends!” Stiles turned walking back to the nurses, but he hadn’t been here as long as Liam, most already knowing about his relationship with their patient, and thankfully it was Amanda.

“Oh really then what is your name and I will check it against the list of allowed visitors.” She gave him a smile that appeared friendly, but her eyes gave it away, She didn’t trust him. Amanda had sat with him giving him advice in turned he explained everything that lead up to this point censoring out the supernatural portion of it.

She was just upset with them as they were, marching into his father office ignoring the Sheriff and deputies slamming her hands down on his office. “I would like you to sign off on this so I can make a visitor list! I don’t want anyone that is not on that list to get to that kid, I will amend it if need be but I would have it ran by you before submitting it.”

Jenna smirked, she liked these women that ran the nurse nation. “Of course, draw it up and I will sign it when I am done.” Amanda nodded before turning on her heels and marched out. She had Liam sit with her, writing each name down on the allowed and not allowed list.

After she gently kicked him out to make the poor boy get something to eat and drink after listening to his stomach growl for a few minutes. So when she heard Liam just now yell and lean over to see him standing in front of Theo door she knew these boys were trying to sneak in.

She had Grace go ahead and call security and moved to into line of sight. “U-uh um I am Stiles Stilinski and he is Scott McCall.” He flashed her a smile, she pretended to look through Theo files looking at Grace to see her lay her hand down.

Five minutes she can deal with five minutes. “Oh is he related to Nurse McCall?” She looked up to see him fidgeting and noting some bruising to the boy face, didn’t Theo have some defensive wounds on his knuckles?

She looked at his file more thoroughly while listening. “Oh yeah that is his mom, hey Scottie come here.” She looked at the phone on the table three minutes.

“I am sorry to say you two can’t go in your names isn’t on the list. While your mom and I are friends, that doesn’t mean I will break the rules.”

She pretend to give them a sympathetic look, while Grace hid a snort behind clearing her throat, she shot her girlfriend a look. She just looked at her with a raised brow before clicking something on the computer.

“Can you check again? I mean we are his childhood friends. We are just concern at the very least can you tell us anything?”

She raised a brow not appreciating someone asking for information on a patient. “No, I can’t.” She smiled seeing her five minutes were up as Security rounded the corner.

“Now will you leave my floor willingly or will these nice gentlemen need to help you?”

How to save a life, How to save a life.

Liam stood in front of the door till Stiles and Scott were out of sight, before relaxing. Amanda looked at him and he flash her a shaky smile still fighting his wolf but relaxed. “I will be right there Liam go sit with Theo.”

He nodded before going into the room and flops down in the chair that he claimed. “Hey T, I’m back. I don’t know if you heard what happened outside the door. I-i shouldn’t have said that should I?”

He runs his hand through his hair feeling so tired and worn down. “But I couldn’t let them act like they cared and lie saying you were part of their pack when that isn’t true. They can’t act like you are pack when they treated you so badly.”

“I don’t know what to do, T. I need you here because I feel like I am losing control. You usually know what to do or say.” He looked at Theo tracing his face with his eyes, only to stop when he hears some knocking on the glass door.

Looking back he saw his parents and Nurse Amanda, understanding that it was time to go he stood up. Holding Theo hand in his, he leans down his forehead. “Love you baby, please come back.”

As he pulled away he felt a soft twitch in Theo grasp barely there he looked down in shock but held it back. He wasn’t sure if it was his mind but he took it as a sign that Theo can hear him. He walked out the door.

“Thank you again Amanda, make sure to write what happen and email it to me so I can use it later.” Jenna smiled as she wrapped her arm around her son. “Of course Mrs.Greyer anything I can do to help.”

With that they walked away, as soon as he steps outside his phone viberated. Pulling it out encase it was the others to only see a message from Brett Talbot on Insta messenger.

‘ We need to talk. ’

Under the message was the post of Theo, he was to tired and ignored it for now. Tomorrow he can deal with it. Looking around to make sure he couldn’t see Scott or Stiles let alone scent them. He slides in his mom car closing his eyes he let his mind drift as she began to drive.
