"Stiles! Stiles no!"

Stiles expectes the water to hurt when he hits it. But it doesnt. Because he never hits it. Right as he stepped off the cliff he felt a heavy weight crash into him knocking him to the ground.

He landed with the side of his face in the dirt. Whatever knocked him over was on top of him holding him down.

"Get off of me!" He yells at whoever it is.

Instead of getting off of him, they did the exact opposite. They grabbed his arms and held him down.

Stiles thrashes and kicks. "Let go of me! Get off!"

"Stiles please calm down! Its me!" The voice said

Wait a minute. He knows that voice. He'd know it anywhere.

"Scott?" Is that you?" He asked

Without getting an answer, his best friend flips him around so hes on his back. Scott still has his arms held down tightly.

"Scott what are you doing here?" Stiles asks.

"Well i could ask you the same thing" scott says

"How did you find me?"

"Lydia's mom called and told us you were coming. After an hour we got worried when you didnt show up so we came looking for you. We've been searching all night. We couldnt find your scent. Then I saw your jeep on the side of the road and followed the trail of your blood. Stiles i thought you were dead" scott looks like hes five seconds away from bursting into tears.

All night? Wasnt it just lunch time? How long had he been out there?

Stiles lookes up at the sky. Its already well into the night.

"Why did it take so long for you to find me. I took the highway leading to the cabin."

Scott looked down at stiles confused. "No. You didnt. Stiles i didnt find your jeep on the highway. I found it on a back road. We're nowhere near the highway."

Stiles didnt know what to think. He swears he turned onto the highway. Had he made a wrong turn? Was he just not paying attention?

He doesnt know how long he stared up at the night sky thinking but scott stayed quiet the whole time.

"Scott can you please let go of me? I cant feel my arms" he finally became aware of the numb feeling spreading up to his shoulders.

Scott gets off and loosens his grib on stiles but he doesnt let go.

Scott studies Stiles' face before speaking softly. "Stiles, what were you doing?"

"Nothing. I was just..."

"You were going to jump off" Scott says

"No i wasnt! I mean....yes..sorta but...its not what you think" he tries to explain.

"You were going to kill yourself. If you were having problems why didnt you come to me?" His friend looks heartbroken

"Scott, you know me. I wasnt trying to kill myself. I was just following somebody" he didnt plan on telling Scott what he has saw. He doesnt want to sound crazy but it just slipped out.

"Following who Stiles?"

He doesnt answer. How is he supposed to tell him he was going to walk off a cliff because some girl singing to him told him to?

Scott pulled him to his feet and held both his hands.

He looked into Stiles' eyes "Stiles, who were you following"
