A/N: Sorry for the bad grammar and structural errs. Do not have a beta to help. If someone wants to help, I will gladly accept. Scott and Stiles did not grow up together. They meet in elementary school and Stiles knows of Scott, but not personal know Scott. Stiles's mom did not die, and Stiles is friends with Jackson, Lydia and the rest of the group. Scott is the loser that has no friends. He is not a werewolf. Scott's father is abusive towards Scott and his mom. Will not follow canon and the characters will be out of character. Don't like don't read. Protective friends. Safeguarding Lydia. AU. The people are humans and not any mythical creature
"Hey Stiles, wait up man!" Stiles heard Jackson called out. He turns and sees Jackson, Lydia, Aiden, and Danny walking towards him. He smiles and stops so they can catch up. Once they caught up with him, they all went on their way to class. All four of them were talking about the big game on Friday evening.
All of the sudden Stiles felt a bump. He stopped and looked around. He then looked down, when he saw no one. He sees a small brown hair male stepping away from him while saying sorry and walking away. Stiles felt as if he knew the boy. The boy was short and skinny. He was wearing jeans and long sleeve shirt. Lydia saw Stiles stopping. She saw that he bumped into Scott. She wanted to say hi to him but knew that Scott would not like that.
She frowned. She knew Scott personally because unknown to the rest of the school; Scott is number one and Lydia is number two. They make it, so Lydia is number one instead of number two. She confronted Scott and asked why. He said that he didn't want people to know him. One day during lunch, she went to find Scott to see if he wanted to sit with her. She found him in an abandoned classroom wrapping his wounds.
Lydia looked at the door in front of her. She was nerves to open it. Once Lydia goes through the door, the girl will be in the principal's office. The principal called her into his office to tell her that she and this kid named Scott are switching places, so she is top of the class and not Scott. Lydia tried to understand why. She didn't know Scott well enough to say that she is okay with that. Lydia is a female with standards, and she argued that Scott should be number one because he earned it.
Scott looked shocked; he knew that she would have agreed automatically, but she refused it.
"I thought that you would want this?" Scott asked softly. His eyes widen when Lydia's chocolate brown eyes bore into his own brown eyes.
"I do want this, but I want it to be fair. I don't care if I am second. I don't want to be something that I am not. You deserve this, not me." She said. Scott looked at her, with tears forming.
"Please Lydia, no one with know me and they will know you. They will see my name and think, who is Scott McCall, I don't want that. Please do this for me?" Scott begged Lydia, whose eyes widen in shock.
"Okay, I can do that." She gave in. After that, Lydia would go to Scott in secret to get to know him better and to see if he had ant friends. To Lydia's shock, Scott didn't. One day during lunch she went to find Scott. Lydia saw an empty math room door open. She went in and gasped in shock. She was looking at a frighten looking, shirt off Scott.
Scott was cover with old and new scars, whip marks, burns, black and blue bruising, cuts, belt marks, scars on his wrists Lydia ran over and touched the scars. Scott tried to pull away from Lydia, but she would not that. Lydia took Scott into her arms, and Scott broke down and cried.
After that day, Lydia helped Scott treat his wounds and found out that his father had caused the injuries. He was beaten every night and all day on the weekends. His father was in too much debt and sold Scott's body to everyone that his father owns and tries to collect the money. Melissa, Scott's mother, works three jobs. Her main job is a nurse at Beacon Hills Hospital three time a week. Her minor jobs is a nanny two times a week when it is her day off from the hospital. She also works at a bakery on the weekend. She volunteers at a homeless shelter for people.
Scott is balancing school, working at the vet three days a week, working at Whole Foods two days a week, working at a greenhouse on the weekends and working as a nanny on the weekends as well. He is in all of her classes and has too much homework, but he can work it out. Lydia tries to help Scott whenever she can. She tells him that she can help him get the money if he wants it. He refuses to accept help. He stopped trying to get Lydia to get away from him.
Unknown to them, the group was following Lydia. They found out about Scott, but they didn't want to interfere with the friendship that Lydia finally got going. Stiles wanted to get to know Scott more, but he was aware that Scott needs to warm up to him.
Two months later, Aiden confronted Lydia.
"Do you love Scott?" He asked bluntly. Lydia turned wide-eyed towards him.
"What? No, I mean yes. It's not what you think. I love Scott like I love Stiles. They are my brothers. I love you to be my man Aiden. Why? How do you know Scott?" Lydia said. He nodded in understanding. He smiles and kisses her.
"The group and I got tired of not having you around and followed you. We saw you with Scott. We know what happened to him. We overheard the two of you talking. Lydia, we would like to help. You know that we can help Scott too." Aiden said. There was not point in lying to her because she would find out the truth. She looked conflicted.
"Let me talk to Scott, okay. Let me see what he says okay?" She asked her boyfriend. He nodded. He looks behind her, and his eyes went wide, and he paled a little. Lydia saw Aiden paling and feared the worst. She turned around and saw Scott standing behind her. He was pale, and his beautiful chocolate brown eyes went wide. He stood there in shock and fear.
Before anyone can do anything, a pair of strong arms wrapped themselves around Scott. That caused Scott to start to freak out. Aiden and Lydia saw that it was Isaac holding onto Scott.
"Isaac release Scott now. He does not want anyone touching him." Lydia said panicking. She has seen what happens when someone feels Scott. Lydia saw Allison joining Isaac in holding onto Scott. Allison pulled Scott into a hug.
