It's Always Been You || Stiles Stilinski

Chapter 24 - Master Plan

Mom went with the EMT's to the hospital with Jackson's body, so I got left with the car since I needed to stay behind to give my literally no help statement about Jackson.

I'm leaning against the wall across from the locker room waiting for the deputies to be done getting statements from Scott and all the other players.

Noah walks up and breaks me out of my inner freak out at having no idea where Stiles is "Addy will you–" he nods his head towards the door into the room and I clear my throat "Yeah–" I push off the wall and walk with him inside "Yes of course."

Scott and Isaac walk over and come to a stop next to us as Noah looks at his notepad "I've got to meet with the medical examiner and try to figure out what happened with Jackson. I've got an APB out on Stiles–"

I cross my arms over my front with those words, I feel like a weight is sitting on my chest and like I still can't breathe

Scott reaches over and sets an arm around my back, resting his hand on my upper arm as Noah lifts his head up to look at us "His jeep is still in the parking lot, so that means– well hell, I don't know what that means," his voice breaks and tears fill his eyes when he looks back up at me "Um– look, if he answers his phone, if he answers his emails, if any of you see him–"

I nod at what he's implying, and Isaac surprises me by offering the words I can't form "We'll call you."

Scott nods at Isaac before he looks back to Noah and offers "Look, he's probably just freaked out from all the attention or something" couldn't be further from the truth and we all know it, but we let it slide since he is trying to help reassure a freaked out dad "We'll find him" Scott finishes.

"Yeah" Noah nods and flicks his eyes from Scott to me and sets his hand on my other shoulder "I'll see you, okay?"

I offer him a reluctant smile and nod before he squeezes my shoulder and he walks over to where his deputies are with some of the other players.

Scott drops his arm from around my back as Coach walks up to us pointing to him "McCall. We need you on the team, okay? You know I can't put you on the field next season if you don't get your grades up."

Scott nods "Yeah, I know, Coach."

"All right. I mean, I– I know I yell a lot, but it's not like I hate you guys. Well, I kind of hate Greenberg, but, you know, that's different. It's Greenberg," he chuckles softly and we all offer him return smiles before he continues "I'm just saying we– I need you on the team. Get your grades back up."

"I will" Scott declares and I know he means it– fortunately so does Coach, who offers him a smile before walking off "I know."

We look around the empty locker room as Scott ponders "Is that everyone?"

Isaac steps forward while I look around the other aisle of lockers in the corner, turning back to offer him a nod as I hear Isaac confirm "I think so."

Before he's even done responding Scott rips off the door to Stiles' locker as I step back and set my hands on my hips "We knew the combination you know"

Scott shrugs and grabs a few items, reaching over to hand one to Isaac who scrunches his brows "You're gonna find him by scent?"

Scott nods "Yeah, we both are."

Isaac takes the item from Scott and raises his brow at him "But how come you get his shirt and I get a shoe?" I snort and Isaac raises his eyes from the shoe and over to me, shaking his head at me with a soft smile "Shut up"
