Even though Laura is much older than Stiles, they are very good friends. They met in High School. When Stiles just started with High School, Laura was in her last year. At first he thought Laura was a little bit strange. Her family lives in the middle of the woods and he barely sees any of them. Except for Derek Hale, Laura's brother. Derek doesn't really like Stiles. As far as Stiles can say, because they've only met like four times. But that doesn't matter, because Stiles is scared of him anyways, even though he'll never admit that. He also finds this Kate-girl really strange. She looks like she could be a serial killer, but she is dating Derek, so that could be correct. Either way, when Stiles goes to Laura's house for the first time, he decides never to do that again. He really likes Laura, but feels unsafe when he's surrounded by her family. Luckily Laura understands why Stiles doesn't want to go to her house anymore, and they continue to hang out at Stiles' house.
After his mom died, he lost his dad. He knows his dad is still around, but it's just not the same anymore. He's always at work and only comes home to sleep and eat. Stiles didn't just lose one parent, he lost two.

"Hey Laura!" He says as he gets out of his house, Laura has been picking him up for the last few months so he doesn't need his father to bring him to school.
"Hey Stiles, how are you today?" Laura is always so formal. Stiles gets in the car.
"Good" he says when she starts the car. He read the newspaper at breakfast before going to Laura, and thinks about the animal attacks that have been happening these last few months.
"What do you think is up with those animal attacks?" next to him Laura freezes, but it's very cold so Stiles decides not to comment on it to her.
"Uhm, I don't know Stiles." Stiles has known her long enough to see when she's lying, and she's lying right now. He decides he'll ask her about it later, because when they pull into the school parking lot the bell already rings.
"Thanks for the ride!" He says as he jumps out of the car and jogs to the school building. As he turns around to wave he sees that Laura is on the phone with someone, so he continues to jog to his class.

When he's in English class something comes to his mind. With whom could Laura have been on the phone? She doesn't really have any friends from school, except Stiles. And as far as he knows she doesn't have any friends outside of school either. So that means that she was calling somebody from her family, but why. She was just there before picking him up, maybe something is wrong? Stiles starts to worry and before he knows he's making a list of all the things that could have happened – in his head. He's glad that this is the last class before the lunch break. So when the bell rings he's the first one out of the class and walking towards the cafeteria. No one is there yet, except for Laura. Which he knew, because before lunch break she always has her free period.
"Laura, are you okay?" He asks as he takes a seat next to her. Laura's looks up confused and surprised.
"Why would you ask me that?"
"Well, because you were on the phone when you dropped me off and I thought that must be someone from your family then and you didn't look happy or anything so..." Stiles stops, he feels stupid, even though there could be something wrong with Laura's family, he shouldn't demand her to tell him, he should have waited until she started this conversation herself. He looks at Laura and sees her smiling.
" Do you know how cute it is when you're worrying about me?" And yes, there we go again. Stiles hates it when she calls him cute, he's not cute! He's a badass!
"There's nothing wrong with anyone from my family Stiles, I just called Derek to ask him something."
Stiles wants to know, he wants to know so badly what she asked Derek, but he doesn't ask. Because Laura's face says enough, so he decides to try and ask it another time.
"Want to come over after school?" And while he asks that question Laura looks up, smiling, and nods.

Before he knows lunch break is over and he has barely eaten anything, he runs towards his next class, because yeah he does that a lot. When he walks into his Chemistry class, his teacher, Mr. Harris, doesn't look too happy about the way Stiles enters. Then again, when does Mr. Harris ever look happy?

When the final bell rings he's proud of himself, because it's like the first time this year that he doesn't have detention after school. He walks into the parking lot and sees Laura's car standing next to a silver Porsche. When he walks over to Laura's car, the driver of the Porsche rides away. Stiles recognizes him, it's Jackson. Jackson is a jerk. That's all there really is to say about him. While Stiles is making a list in his head about all the things that Jackson has done to him this year, he hears a chuckle behind him. "Making lists in your head again, Stiles?" It's Laura, of course it's Laura. He turns around and smiles at her.

When they arrive at Stiles' house they get out of the car and go into the living room. He gets the usual drinks they always have and then they sit on the couch together, drinking their drinks. It's quieter that normal, and the quietness feels really uncomfortable for the first time since they met. When there's almost an hour gone in silence, Laura starts to talk.
"We need to talk Stiles, I have something very important to tell you." Million things cross Stiles' mind about what she'd want to say. From good things to better and then back to worse. But when she starts, it's about something Stiles never could have guessed.
