DISCLAIMER * I DO NOT OWN TEEN WOLF. but I do own a Hello Kitty collection. Huh? Yea that's right, I'ma badass. *pushes sunglasses up *
I sat in my chair with my head hung low and listened to Bree lecture me about meeting her friend Melissa McCall. Bree had asked if she knew anyone who could possibly take me in. Melissa said she would and here we were. I trusted Bree with everything I was because she has been the only consistency I have ever had. She is the only person I have ever known long enough to trust. She isn't only my social worker, but also my therapist.

"Alex, are you listening?" She asked waving a hand in front of my face to get my attention.

"Yes, I am. I'm just... I'm scared Bree. I don't want to mess up. I want someone to want me for once... I know I don't let people in but I just want one person to not allow me to push them away. I don't want to be alone anymore. I want someone to love me for once. I just want a mom" I said with tears running down my face. I would have wiped them away or hold them back if it were anyone other than Bree. There was a point in time where I wanted Bree to be my mom. But it's not allowed apparently. Other than Bree I don't let anyone see me cry because if I cry, I am weak and weakness will get you nowhere but 6 feet underground. And what I said really was true. I am so tired of being alone and being broken... I just want a mom... Someone who will show me how to do makeup.someone who will teach me about boys. Someone who will care for me, help me get better. Someone who will love me.

"Alex, I can assure you that Melissa will accept you. She will keep you safe and she will love you. She is the best mom I know."

"She has kids?" I asked in fear because I knew that meant that if her kids didn't like me I would be back here sooner than later. Bree must have seen my face fall because she gave me a warm smile. The same one she has given me for the past 2 years.

"Scott McCall is a very nice boy. He is only a year older than you and he is one of the most understanding boys I have ever met, even more so than my oldest Joey." She had this confidence in her voice that made it hard not to believe her. "But Alex, Scott and Melissa are all they have. It is only them and they are like family to me, much in the way that you are. They mean everything to me and so do you. Melissa will provide for you, she will love you, and she will be there for you when you need a friend, and when you need a mother. But she can only do so much for you if you let her. I know that I have talked to you a lot about this but you need to try and make it work. Please, Alex. The Judges say that if you keep acting up at homes, that you will have to live here, in this girl's home, permanently until you are 18. I don't want that and I know you don't. So can you agree that you will try?" The worry and sadness in her words made me know she was being honest.

We had talked about this several times in the last 6 months, about Mrs. McCall and all the promises about trying to keep myself in line. Bree has made it very clear that Mrs. McCall will try her hardest if I try mine. She clearly believes her so I am trying to believe her as well. Mrs. McCall only got accepted as a foster parent 2 days ago and today is the day that I meet her. Bree only left out that Mrs. McCall has a son...

" I promise." I assured her for the millionth time today.

There was then a knock on the door and I felt my heart drop into the pit of my stomach. I closed my eyes and took deep breaths as Bree patted me on the shoulder in reassurance. I heard her open the door and ask Mrs. McCall to come into the office, she also greeted Scott.

"Hey, Bree." I heard Mrs. McCall say. I opened my eyes seconds later with my heart in my throat, to see Bree exchanging hugs with the McCall family.

"Melissa, Scott, I would like to introduce you to Alex Blackridge. Alex this is Melissa and Scott McCall." Bree said with her infamous smile. Her green eyes sparkled in the bright lighting.
