Eyes Wide Open »Liam Dunbar«(On Hold)

{2} - The Vending Machine

Better keep my eyes wide open,
There's so much I don't know

Scott and Stiles wrapped one of Liam's arms around their shoulders and began walking to Stiles' jeep to bring him to the hospital, Tia following close behind.

"Where do you think you're going?" Stiles called to his younger sister over his shoulder.

"I'm coming to the hospital with you." she replied calmly.

"Oh no you're not. You're not missing a day of school to bring this idiot to the hospital."

"He's not an idiot."

"Yes he is."

"No he is not."

"Yes he is."

"No, you are." Tia smiles evilly.

"No I am not!"

"Oh yes sorry I'm wrong. You and Garrett are idiots."

"Whaaaa... you little bi-" Stiles was cut off by Scott who was know holding most of Liam's weight, "Will you two shut up and help me get Liam into the car," Scott pleads, "and yes, Tia is coming. She knows more about this medical type stuff then the two of us put together. Surprisingly."

"Unsurprisingly," Tia corrects, "you two are idiots."

"But we've had more experience with this type of stuff." Stiles points out.

"You're still idiots."

Stiles let out a huff of breath, mostly directed towards his annoying sister, and helped load Liam into the jeep. Scott took the passenger seat leaving Tia to sit alone in the back of the jeep with Liam.

No one really said anything during the short ride leaving an eerie awkward silence. So when Stiles finally pulled up to the hospital, saying Tia was relieved would have been an understatement. However, her nose still crinkled when the four teenagers stepped into the hospital. Tia had never liked hospitals. Sure, people's lives were saved but there was always to much death. No place should have that much death. And that meant a lot considering someone in Beacon Hills died almost every five minutes.

Tia especially didn't like hospitals when someone related to her became part of all that death. Her Mom. Tia was practically a toddler at the time and Tia didn't know if that was good or bad.

Good being the fact she was so young she had barely any memories of her mother leaving her to not having much to mourn over.

And bad being the fact that because she didn't really have any memories, so she couldn't even remember ever having a mother.

The closest thing she had to a mother was Melissa McCall. She too became a single parent when her and Rafael McCall were divorced. Therefore, she could relate to Sheriff Stilinski's problem, slightly, for she had not lost a loved one. With Scott and Stiles being best friends, the two families became close.

Tia had gotten used of the hospital considering all the times she had payed a visit. Whether it was because her Dad had gotten injured, or she was bringing Melissa her dinner with Scott, the blonde had now become familiar with the corridors.

Tia still didn't like the smell though. Every hospital had a smell, some the same, some different, Tia had liked none of them. The hospital in Beacon Hills smelt like other hospitals. The main corridor and reception area smelling of sanitizer and sick patients, mostly like the other places there, and the morgue smelling of well, death. Depending on the floor or the treatment area, the smell would change. Sometimes it becoming stronger, sometimes weaker.
