Chapter 17

"Okay Liam, calm down. Hush, kid, you're okay. Just breathe, come on kiddo" Stiles said softly to the hyperventilating boy, who thankfully calmed down enough to be able to talk.

"My mom and James- they were ignoring me again. I'd been screaming at their faces for half an hour, and they hadn't even flinched, they just kept talking and kissing like I wasn't even there! And then- I just c-couldn't take it anymore! I couldn't! And I- I'm so sorry! I shifted, and when I shifted back I was covered in blood, and they- they were- and I can't remember anything! And they were-" Liam stammered, and Stiles tightened his grip on the boy's arms.

"We understand, Liam. You don't have to say it" he said softly, and the kid collapsed, Stiles only just being able to catch him.

"I can't stand! My mouth is numb- I'm shaking! What's going on with me?!" Liam stammered again, and Stiles and Derek lifted the fifteen-years old up under his shoulders together.

"It's called classic hyperventilation, Liam. Come on, you have to stay calm. Let's get you on the couch, those cushions can be washed" Stiles said to the boy, who had more involuntary tears streaming out of his eyes. Another symptom of classic hyperventilation, poor kid. Sadly, Stiles' panic attacks had taught him about how awful that felt.

They lay the boy down on the couch, Stiles putting the kid's head on his lap, slowly carding his fingers through Liam's blood-clotted hair.

"Breathe, Liam. It'll be okay, we'll find out what happened. Calm down kiddo -can anyone get him a glass of water, please?- you have to calm down, Li" he said to the boy, who really had to start breathing slower, or he'd pass out.

"I- what- happened, we- I did-" the kid said through gasps, nausea and headache eminent in his facial expressions.

"We don't know that, Liam. We've been through a similar situation with Scott, and he was innocent. So please calm down, everything is possible" Stiles said soothingly, and Liam's hand had unconsciously reached for Stiles' favourite plaid shirt, and twisted his dirty fingers into it.

"Come on kiddo, let's try to sit up. Don't pass out on me, Dunbar" Stiles said while carefully pulling Liam into a sitting position and handing him the glass of water that Derek had received. The boy carefully drank it, and that motion made his breathing slow down a whole lot.

"Okay, that's good, Li. Why don't you go and take a shower? I'll give you some of.. Ehm, do we have clothes that'd fit him? Well, I'll give you some of my clothes, they might be a little big on you, but at least they'll be clean" Stiles said, and Liam nodded while shakily standing up and making his way to the door, heavily leaning on the couch and coffeetable before coming to a stop.

"I- I don't know where the bathroom is" he said softly, and Stiles walked up to him and put an arm around the pup's shoulders.

"Don't worry, pup. Come with me, I'll show you where it is, I'll get you that change of clothes while we're at it. I could use a change of clothes myself as well" he smiled softly, and Liam hesitatingly nodded, so they went upstairs.

When Stiles came back downstairs, he looked at Derek and knew he'd been thinking the same.

"Danny, Allison, you're on babysit-duty today. I have a feeling that we're gonna need Lydia tonight. Others, come with us. Let's go pay a visit to the Dunbar household" Stiles said, and everyone nodded while grabbing their coats, and in under five minutes they were on the road.

When they reached the Dunbar place and they'd gotten out of the car, the werewolves immediatly scrunched their noses up in disgust.

"What's wrong?" Stiles asked, and Derek turned to him.
