He'll be fine, once he has some time to process. This isn't exactly the usual high school romance. To be perfectly honest, he went from having no one to having you and Allison both.
and he probably feels like he's back down to no one again allison's gone and i'm pretty sure he doesn't want anything to do with me i'm still here, though
If he didn't want anything to do with you, Scott, he wouldn't be answering your texts. Or essentially sulking over the both of you with his cat. I'm not stupid or blind, you three have been working up to something since /before/ I even got here. It just came to a confusing head recently, and now you're all panicking about it because it's outside the norm. But I'm going to tell you what I keep telling Isaac: If you all feel the same way, then you should get your heads out of your asses and do something about it.
i'm trying to tell him how i feel he keeps saying he doesn't want to talk about it i'm stuck in between a rock and a hard place be miserable without isaac vs make him uncomfortable and talk about it i don't really know what to do
He's going to have to talk about it eventually. Hiding from it isn't going to do any of you any favors. Just let him sulk it out for now, even if it's not exactly productive.
i know isaac just got the short end of the stick you know i never wanted to hurt him, right? he said i made him feel numb it was like a stab in the chest
Scott, you never want to hurt /anyone/. Let alone people you care about. I don't know if he said that to distance himself from the situation or what, but.
[ God how did he wind up dealing with this? This is what happens when you bite teenagers, isn't it. ]
He does like you, a lot. And I don't think he meant to hurt you, either.
no i mean isaac is a really good guy like really REALLY good i asked him to be honest i know he wasn't trying to be hurtful and if he was i deserved it
I was not the alpha that he deserved, Scott. I was incredibly far from that, actually. And I think I still am, even if he's come to me for a quiet place to try and process everything that's happened so far.
He chose you for a reason, and I don't think he's going to take back the fact he considers you his alpha now. Especially since you've always been a pretty good one, even if it was to just Allison and Stiles at first. You are, actually, a true alpha.
So quit with the self depreciation and assumptions. Look what good that did me.
[ His returning text message comes awhile after as well - Scott flicking buttons only to delete what he says a moment later. ]
he's going to look at me differently he used to look at me like he wanted me i don't know if i can face him
[ He'd planned to leave it at that, but once he presses send he feels like there was a missed opportunity, or something similar. So he types up another quick message and hits send. ]
for the record i think you're a good alpha i don't really know how to lead or anything you always had a plan or knew what to do i guess i admire that
I don't think he's going to look at you differently. At least not the way you're expecting him to.
[ Sometimes, these teens say things that leave him wondering how to answer. It's been surprisingly frequent recently. ]
Truth is, I rarely ever have any idea what I'm doing. Laura didn't really, either, but at least she was primed to become alpha after my mother. Neither of us were brought up with any idea of how to do this, Scott. It's sort of giving us a steep learning curve. But you've got the heart for it.
[ He thinks he might've, once. Now? Derek doesn't think so. ]
