This time, this place

Misused mistakes

Too long, too late

Who was i to make

You wait?

Just one chance

Just one breath

Just in case there's

Just one left

Cause you know,

You know, you

Know

I love you

I've loved you all

along

Derek rolled his shoulders as he put his bag in the spare room across the hall from Stile's spare bedroom. When he was on the phone with the Sheriff this morning he mentioned how Peter had taken over his place and he was thinking about just getting a room at the motel down the street until he sorted out the spare room but he wouldn't hear of it, especially since he had a spare bedroom and more to the point after that night he would move heaven and hell to be able to help out Derek.

He smiled as he took a deep breath and let the familiar scents of Stiles, the Sheriff and Scott wash over him.

He unpacked a few of his things before making his way downstairs and getting a few things out of the fridge, he figured he could do was make dinner since they were letting him stay with them while he was in town but just as he got the last ingredient out his phone rang.

"Yes?" he growled when he saw it was Scott.

"Derek," he gasped out and straight away Derek knew something was wrong.

"What happened?" he barked out, putting away the ingredients hastily.

"There was an accident and the bus flipped.

"Where are you all?"

"Stiles is in surgery, they took him in straight away, mum is seeing to the pack while Allison and Lydia are being seen by another nurse."

"The sheriff?"

"On his way, the manager called him."

Derek grabbed his keys and took a deep breath. "I'm on my way now."

As soon as Derek opened the door he could smell the sickness and sadness to the place but he ignored it as he made his way inside the hospital where he was greeted by the twins.

"Stiles is still in hospital but the rest are ok, they are all in the waiting room," AIden informed his alpha who nodded and followed them in to find the rest of the pack, the sheriff, Melissa, Deaton and Chris all there.

The whole pack swarmed over to their alpha, and they all stood there for a moment, all touching Derek to soak up the calm and reassurance they needed off their alpha, even Peter, who had waited until the younger ones had moved way had come over to seek reassurance from the alpha through they all knew he got it off them as well.

"Noah," Derek greeted the sheriff as he moved over to embrace him.

"I'm glad you are here," Noah told him softly. Derek just nodded as Noah moved and Melissa embraced him.

They waited for two hours before a doctor came out to talk to him.

"He's out of surgery but he had bleeding on his brain, he is in an induced coma right now to help with the swelling he also has. He's broken his leg, four ribs, his arm, nose and cheekbone but aside from that he is ok. We will need to leave him to sleep for a few more days before we can wake him just to allow for the swelling," the doctor informed Noah who nodded.

"Can we see him?"

The doctor looked around the group.

"Family only."

"They are all family," Noah said firmly, glaring at the doctor who looked away.

"Two at a time."

Derek waited until the rest had gone in to see Stiles before he made his way in by himself.

He sat down and took Stiles' hand.

"You know this wasn't how I saw this reunion," Derek said softly, loud enough for Stiles to hear, if he could, but soft enough that the rest of the pack wouldn't be able to. "Please Stiles we need you to wake up. I can't do this without you. You promised me that we would have time to fix all this, that i could make up for being away. I love you so please wake up."
