LOVERS ROCK

chapter thirteen ; omega
[ season two - episode one ]

With a heavy head, Honey Carter sat in the office of Sheriff Stilinski, patiently awaiting the arrival of her maternal aunt Abigail. Abby was the only family she had left, therefore, the only option for a legal guardian to the now orphaned teenage girl. If not for the woman's willingness to pack up and move to her hometown to care for her niece, Honey didn't know where she would be. There was only so long she could stay at the Stilinski's house, avoiding the system. Even the Sheriff had limited control over that. It wouldn't have been long before child services claimed her, throwing her into a foster home until she was eighteen. Because nobody would be willing to adopt a teen, especially not one as damaged as her.

She hadn't seen her aunt Abigal for a long time, since she was 10, she believed. Her mother and aunt weren't on the best of terms before the older sister's death. Honey didn't quite know what had happened between them, it had never occurred to her to ask, now, she knew what the lack of questions cost her, the true answers she needed in life, the ones that could have kept her on the straight and narrow. That dream was long out of the window. She was surprised that Abigail had agreed to come back to Beacon Hills, and more so, that the woman had seemed willing to stay here, allowing her niece to continue her studies, as Stilinski quoted her, Abigail didn't want the teenage girl to have any more interruption to her life than she already had. 

Perhaps it had been a while since either of her parents had seen or heard from Abigail, but she'd always been told that Abby was the irresponsible one, the party girl, the loose cannon, the aunt to avoid in life, the one that Honey wouldn't miss not having in her life. She never thought that it would come down to this, relying on that same woman to save her from the system. 

"Do you remember much about my aunt?" Honey asked the man sitting at his desk, the blonde's voice seemed to startle him, he hadn't heard much of it in the past two days, she had been quiet, uncharacteristically quiet, but for reasons, he couldn't blame her for, he knew the effect of losing a loved one. And frankly, this was a death that he had been grieving too. 

"Not much," Stilinski admitted, Abigail was much younger than the likes of him and the blonde's parents, he only knew her from passing by, saying a quick hello whenever she was around. Most of the time, to nag her older sister. "She was a nice girl." He recalled, lacking much else to say in terms of the woman. "She seemed nice when I called her too. Seemed to really care about you."

Honey hummed, reverting back to the quietness she had shown the past two days since it had all fallen apart. Her life, that was. Everyone else seemed to be slowly picking up the pieces, she had had Stiles filling her in on that. Scott and Allison were still in their honeymoon phase, their relationship still forbidden too, perhaps more than ever, now, the two couldn't even be seen in public together, instead, the two would meet at midnight out on the preserve, hoping to spare a few hours with one another. The blonde couldn't help but smirk at Stiles when he told her what had happened to the two of them, not because it was funny to her, just familiar. Stiles had spent the better part of the two days at the hospital, watching over Lydia, he still felt bad for what had happened to her, all because he'd allowed her to wander off at the formal.
