"Hell Is For Children"
by Pat Benatar
They cry in the dark, so you can't see their tears
They hide in the light, so you can't see their fears
Forgive and forget, all the while
Love and pain become one and the same
In the eyes of a wounded child
Isaac just chewed on his lips as the others tried to talk and figure out what to say. He glanced at Scott and Allison who clearly weren't sorry as they should be. Well Scott seemed to be sorry somewhat but Issac knew it wouldn't be enough. He stepped closer to Stiles and he saw Jessica's eyes focus on him and for a moment he thought she was going to make him back away but she only grabbed his hand causing Stiles to turn his head towards them and take Isaac's hand out of his sisters and squeeze it.
"Talk to me." Stiles said softly
"I..I can't." Isaac said softly. "I..come back." was the broken whisper before he reached out to try and hug Stiles but stopped knowing he would go through. However he felt his breath catch as Stiles suddenly had him wrapped tightly in a hug.
Because Hell, Hell is for children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell, hell is for children
And you shouldn't have to pay for your love
With your bones and your flesh
Isaac felt his eyes water and he started to cry again. "Stiles I'm sorry."
"You survived Isaac..I get it..you learn..it is a little late but you learn..you're bright and you lived through hell." Stiles said softly.
Jessica and Derek both sighed. Isaac..they knew Isaac would probably be the first beside Derek to earn Stiles real forgiveness after all. The cub really wasn't malice. High on power and freedom.
It's all so confusing, this brutal abusing
They blacken your eyes, and then apologize
Be daddy's good girl, and don't tell mommy a thing
Be a good little boy, and you'll get a new toy
Tell grandma you fell off the swing
Isaac couldn't believe Stiles was hugging him. Talking to him and trying to sooth him after everything. He'd survived hell and then forced hell onto another. He could still remember the black eyes he had..told just be a good boy..a broken arm..countless ribs. An he remembered having Stiles as a friend when they were little..and he..after his brother. He couldn't just..he should have spoken up been brave instead he let his self be a monster.
Because Hell, Hell is for children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell, hell is for children
And you shouldn't have to pay for your love
With your bones and your flesh
No, Hell is for children
"Hell..hell is for children." Isaac said softly rubbing his eyes.."but I'm not really a child anymore and I should..I should be better. I'm sorry. I'll be better. I promise. Derek is a good alpha and you're..you're important and we are stupid not to see that and I'm sorry for not realizing that sooner."
"You have your eyes open now. Isaac..just take care of your stupid alpha for me okay?" Stiles said rubbing a hand through Isaac's curls.
"I promise." Isaac said with a nod as he stood back and rubbing his eyes.
Hell, Hell is for Hell
Hell is for Hell, Hell is for children
Hell, Hell is for Hell
Hell is for Hell, Hell is for children
Hell, Hell is for Hell
Hell is for Hell, Hell is for children
Hell is for children
Hell is for children
"Issac..child I need a word with you." Jessica said after a moment.
"Go on..she won't hurt you." Stiles said pushing the young wolf towards.
"Yes ma'am?" Isaac said once he was over near her.
"I..kid..your brother is alive."
The silence was deafening before Isaac nearly collapsed into more sobbing as Jessica caught him holding him as the boy sobbed at the lose of one person and the truth of another alive.
