I am so so sorry for how long I've been away i have no excuses i just hope you'll forgive me and enjoy the new chapter.

Melissa McCall was not enjoying her morning. She had barely slept last night following the sight of Stiles covered in blood and sat in his hospital bed. He hadn't woken up by the time her shift finished not that she was expecting him to. When people are involved in an accident of that magnitude they rarely wake up the same day or the day after. This was her experience of it anyway.

As much as she would have liked to stay at the hospital and wait for Stiles to wake up she was being realistic. He wasn't going to wake up overnight and she had work the next day. At the very least she was expecting Scott to want to stay at the hospital and yet home he came and went straight to sleep she checked on him a few times and he hadn't stirred. Although she found it odd, she acknowledged he was realistic. Stiles wasn't going to wake up overnight if at all.

As much as she had tried to keep a positive outlook for Scott and Stiles it didn't look the time she and the doctors had stabilised him and had a chance to properly assess his condition the outlook was bleak. He had multiple deep lacerations, many broken bones and the worst of all 3 of his vertebrae had been shattered. If and it was a big if, stiles woke up he would never walk again.

All of this and a terrible night sleep later and here she was at the kitchen table dressed and ready to go back into work. Grabbing her keys she headed towards the door.

"Hang on, wait for me" a shout comes from down the stairs before Scott flew by her and jumped into the car throwing on a hoodie. She looked confused at him. "Have I got something on my face?" Scott asked.

Melissa snapped out of her confused state and got into the car turning the key and setting off for the hospital. "No, I just wasn't expecting you to be awake"she explained to Scott. "You know Scott, What happened to Stiles was terrible and his injuries were severe" she began and he looked at her confused unsure of where she was going with this. "i know you don't want me to sat this but i think you need to be prepared for the worst Scott".

"There's always hope" Scott replies smiling to himself and putting his headphones in thoroughly ending the conversation.

Before they knew it they had arrived at the large hospital. They walked through the main entrance both heading directly to where they knew Stiles would be. They walked to room 118 and entered quietly and Melissa stopped in her tracks in the entrance of the room. There was Stiles sat up in ed chatting happily with his father.

"Morning Mrs McCall" Stiles said happily. Melissa still stood in the entrance with her mouth agape opening and closing trying to form words before a nudge from Scott snapped her out of her pause. "But how are you up and awake? I saw your injures there is no way you would be awake let alone able to move because of your spine?"

"They took him down to have xrays and mri's he fine." Said sheriff Stalinski, "They are putting it down to faulty equipment" He was clearly overjoyed and Melissa couldn't believe it.

"Well that's great news I'm really glad your ok Stiles, I have to go and start my shift but ill be back to check on you soon." he then left the room and Sheriff Stalinski shortly left as well now knowing his son was ok. He unfortunately was still the sheriff and just because the sheriff is unavailable doesn't mean criminals were going to stop committing crimes.

It was at this point that Scott finally spoke up.

"How do you feel Stiles" he asked with a small smirk on his face.

"You know exactly how I'm feeling" Stiles turned to Scott anger and fury evident on his face. "Why Scott, why do this to me."

A look of confusion crossed Scott's face. "You do realise that if i hadn't done what i did you would likely be dead right now. Has anyone even told you how bad your injuries were Stiles? I listened to your heartbeat it was so weak even I could barely hear it"

Stiles's face had dropped nobody had told him how bad it was as everyone assumed they got it wrong as as evident by his apparent miraculous recovery. "No i didn't realise it was that bad" Stiles said dropping his head.

"It's ok" Scott said, "your not alone. I'm going to help you adjust"

It was only now that it had all clicked that Stiles had realised how much he had changed, he could hear other peoples heartbeats in the next rooms, he could even hear the nurses working on a man a few floors below him whose heart had smell of disinfectant and medical supplies was thick in the air. Is this what it was like for Scott all the time? This is going to take some getting used to.

He then heard stomping coming from the front of the hospital and shouting coming this direction. He turned and looked at Scott with a panicked look on his face who had an equally terrified look on his face. "Please tell me you told her?" Stiles pleaded with Scott.

With a look of terror on his face, "no, I completely forgot I was preoccupied with you being basically on your death bed" his voice becoming slightly shaky. Scott then pulled out his phone and Stiles' phone which he had kept on him for safekeeping. Firstly he looked at Stiles phone and swallowed with a look of terror then his own phone and looked even more terrified before turning both screens to stiles so he could see what was on the phones.

On Scott's phone it read Lydia Martin (Missed Call) 15 and on Stiles is read Lydia Martin (missed Call ) 25. Fear gripped them both an they looked at each other Scott passing Stiles his phone back. Scott ad faced some terrible things and difficult things but nothing can quite prepare you for a furious Lydia Martin.

It was at this moment that the door to the hospital room swung inwards and in strode Lydia Martin. Stomping with every step and fury written across her face.

"AND WHAT DO YOU TWO HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELVES?!"she screamed at them and almost simultaneously both boys gulped deeply.
