Mattera's P.O.V

"You know when you're drowning, you don't actually inhale until right before you black out. It's called voluntary apnea. It's like no matter how much you're freaking out, the instinct to not let any water in is so strong that you won't open your mouth until you feel like your head's exploding. But then when you finally do let it in, that's when it stops hurting. It's not scary anymore. It's - it's actually kind of peaceful." Stiles said as we were talking to Mrs. Morrell

"Are you saying you hope Matt felt some peace in his last moments?" She asked

"I don't feel sorry." I say

"Can you feel sorry for the nine - year - old Matt who drowned?" She asked me

"Just because a bunch of dumbasses dragged him into a pool when he couldn't swim doesn't really give him the right to go off killing them one by one. And by the way, my dad told me that they found a bunch of pictures of Allison on Matt's computer. And not just of her though. I mean, he photoshopped himself into these pictures. Stuff like them holding hands and kissing. You know, like he had built this whole fake relationship. So yeah, maybe drowning when he was nine years old was what sent him off the rails, but the dude was definitely riding the crazy train." Stiles told her

"One positive thing came out of this, though. Right?" Mrs. Morrell asked yeah I mean Stilinski got his job back

"Yeah. Yeah, but I still feel like there's something wrong between us. I don't know. It's just like tension when we talk. Same thing with Scott." Stiles told her, I'm surprised there's no tension between us

"Have you talked to him since that night?" Mrs. Morrell

"No, not really. I mean, he's got his own problems to deal with though." Stiles told her

"I don't think he's talked to Allison either. But that might be more her choice, you know. Her mom dying hit her pretty hard. But I guess it brought her and her dad closer. Jackson? Jackson hasn't really been himself lately. Actually the funny thing is, as of right now, Lydia is the one who seems the most normal." Stiles said to her

"And what about you, Stiles? Feeling some anxiety about that championship game tomorrow night?" She asked and I saw him biting his net 'Okay?' I thought

"Why would you ask me that? Ah. Uh, no. I - I never actually play. But hey, since one of my teammates is dead and another one's missing, who knows, right?" Stiles said Let's hope he plays this time!

"You mean, Isaac. One of the three runaways. You haven't heard from any of them, have you?" She asked and I then thought of something

"How come you're not taking any notes on this?" I ask

"I do my notes after the session." She told me

"You have that good of a memory?" I ask
