Telling Grace [Stace]

[Stiles]
Stiles had been told to deliver a message to Grace. It had been a few weeks since he had last seen her and he honestly didn’t want to see her. He didn’t want to walk in on whatever it was that happened. He didn’t want to relive the pain he felt when it broke him. But he promised Cameron that he would give it to Grace so that is what he would do. He would deliver the message then leave.
Knocking on the door, he tried to hide the changes that happened after he last saw her. He wasn’t going to show her what happened to him after she literally was about to sleep with someone else in front of him. When she opened the door, he held out the letter for her.
“I know you said to leave you alone and I will but, this is from Cameron, he wanted to bring it himself but he explained everything in the letter. He didn’t trust anyone else to deliver it to you for some reason. And the letter I brought you last time...did you bother opening it?” When she was silent, he shook his head. “Never mind. Goodbye Grace.” He tells her before starting to leave.
[Grace]
Grace opened the door and saw Stiles as he handed her a letter. She took the letter and watched him walk away. “I read it…” She said softly. She looked down at her father’s letter and sighed. “I remember everything.”
[Stiles]
He stopped when he heard her voice. “Well that is good then. I am glad that you have been better since I left. You should read the letter, your father said it was urgent.” He tells her over his shoulder. “I will leave now so you can do whatever it is that you need to do.” Stiles says before starting to walk away.
[Grace]
“I haven’t been better...I have been in here for three weeks and I...I am exhausted. I don’t eat and my arm is sore from all my treatments.” She told him. “I didn’t sleep with my sponsor...I,” She laughed softly as she shook her head. “I asked him to help make you go away and in payment I gave him-”
[Stiles]
He stopped again when he heard her words. “You seemed fine a week ago. Right, treatments with your sponsor.” He scoffed before hearing her words. When he heard that she offered him payment to make him go away, he just put his hand up to cut her off. “I don’t want to know what you gave him. It worked, I am going away. I won’t bother you again.”
[Grace]
“I was still on drugs, Stiles.” She said running her hand through her hair. “So yeah I was fine but now I am going withdrawal so no I am not alright. You know I wish I could feel bad about what I did but that pain you felt...that’s how I felt when you left me for my brother. When you took the one that mattered to me and told me you were still into my brother. I am not apologizing when you did that to me right when my mom left, my dad was losing his mind, and then my brother ditched us. You didn’t care about me so why should I care about you?”
[Stiles]
“Well you got what you wanted. You made me feel how you did. You broke me in more ways than you can possibly imagine. I didn’t expect you to apologize. I deserved it. You are right I didn’t show that I cared about you at the time. I fucked up and I wish I could take it all back. I wish I wasn’t so stupid but I know I made the biggest mistake of my life by going back to someone who didn’t love me. You are right, you shouldn’t care about me so now you don’t have to. Goodbye Grace.” He tells her before walking away.
[Grace]
“I still love you Stiles...despite all that you have done and everything in me saying I should just let you go...I still love you.” She said as she looked at the letter. “I don’t know if I will ever be ready to be with you again, but...I know I love you.”
[Stiles]
“Don’t say that to me. Just don’t...I know I fucked up Grace. That’s all I do, haven’t you noticed? I am just the fucked up kid that doesn’t belong anywhere. I fucked up everything that I love. Even seeing Liam moving on with TJ didn’t hurt as much as the day I saw you with your sponsor. I can’t even describe the pain I felt.” He could feel his eyes tearing up. “It’s best you stay away from me. I destroy everything I touch. I didn’t expect you to want me back. I gave you your memories because you deserved them back if I was going to leave. It wasn’t right of me to take them even if it was to protect you. I have the law to face now. You can move on now Grace, without me. I am sure you will find someone better.”
[Grace]
She gripped the letter in her hand as her eyes flashed blue, “Who will love me like you did? My parents don’t even care about me the way you do. My mom hasn’t been to visit me once...he put me in here and now my dad...gives me this letter and what...what am I supposed to do with this? Who will love someone like me when they find out I am in rehab?”
[Stiles]
“Love you like I did? I broke your heart remember? I am the reason you are here. I took what mattered to you and went to your brother remember? I hurt you Grace. You don’t hurt those you love. You will find someone who will treat you better than I ever did, hell even your sponsor treats you better than I did. Your father will come to visit you soon. Why are you even telling me all this? All I did was hurt you and now I have to deal with the consequences of my actions. I accept that. You don’t need me Grace.” He tells her.
[Grace]
“Because...if you leave me again...I don’t think I can handle that.” She said honestly as she watched her tears hit the envelope. “I can’t lose you again Stiles. I love you too much to have you leave me like everyone else in my family.”
[Stiles]
“I didn’t want to leave you Grace. You wanted me to leave and you made that very clear to me.” He tells her. “You made it clear that I hurt you and I clearly haven’t given you any reason to be with me according to you. You don’t see a future for us so why should I stay? You say you love me but you don’t want us to get married, you don’t want kids with me, you don’t want us to be a family.”
[Grace]
“For fucks sakes Stiles I didn’t mean it.” She yelled before realizing they were in the hallway. “You know what...you are just using that as an excuse. You wanted to leave me as soon as you had sex with me and now you can so go. You want to go, so go.” She said before going back into her room and closing the door.
[Stiles]
“You were practically sleeping with someone in front of me Grace. I almost fucking died because of that. You don’t get it, you won’t ever get it. I never wanted to leave you. I fought for you. Drugs or not I fought for you. We are even just like you said. I never wanted to leave but you just keep mentioning what a fuck up I am and how I broke your heart. How you don’t even know if you want to be with me. So I don’t know what more you want me to do. There is nothing left that I can do to prove or make it up to you. No matter how many times I tell you I love you, you don’t fucking believe me.” He growled before feeling his arm burning.
[Grace]
“Fought for me? How the fuck did you do that Stiles? We are not even, we will never be even. You will never ever understand what it felt like for me and I would never want you to. You think that hurt? Did I tell you I didn’t love you? Did I tell you I made a mistake and that I love your brother? No I didn’t. So you will never understand. I don’t fucking get you Stiles, you want to play the victim but this isn’t about you. This isn’t about how I broke your heart. It’s not, so like I said if you want to go...go.”
[Stiles]
“I was almost sentenced to death for you Grace. I took the fall for something I never fucking did. I lost my family because of you, because of the sacrifice I made for you. I did it because I fucking love you. I was willing to die for you, hell I wasn’t even willing to do something like that for Liam. I wouldn’t have made him forget everything so he can be happy with out me. I chose you even after you hurt multiple members in my family. Fucking hell I lost my sibling becaue of you and almost lost my sister and her husband because you wanted to fuck him. I have stood by your side and tried to support you and it’s apparently not enough, it will never be enough. I am tired of not being enough for people. I wasn’t enough for my family, I wasn’t enough for Liam and now I am not enough for you.So you know what Grace, it doesn’t fucking matter what I want. I didn’t want to leave earlier and I don’t care. I told you I love you so many times and you just don’t believe me. I don’t know what more you want from me Grace. I really don’t.”
[Grace]
“I never fucking asked you to do that! You chose that so don’t put that shit on me. I would have dealt with it myself but you and my fucking mother act like I asked to be protected. I could have handled it. I can handle it.” She snapped. “If you wanted to stay you would have, but you just left. I don’t want anything. I said you can leave but you are still here, so what do you want?”
[Stiles]
“I left because you fucking threw yourself at your sponsor. You think i wanted to stay and watch you fuck him? Even I wouldn’t stop that fucking low. I wanted you Grace. I fucking wanted you.”
[Grace]
“Right let me think you slept with your ex boyfriend's baby sister to make him jealous, right you would never stoop so low.” She said rolling her eyes. “Then you should have fucking said something but you just ran away. Like you always do.”
[Stiles]
“I didn’t do it to make him jealous. I could have slept with anyone if I wanted to make him jealous. I fell for you Grace that’s why I did it. Yeah let me say something while my bones are cracking and I’m in immense pain because my own body was fucking attacking me with each fucking touch of your body. My body was dying Grace. What the fuck did you want me to do? You want me to kill him because I fucking will if that makes you happy.”
[Grace]
“I want you to prove to me that you want me you asshole. I don’t even know what you are talking about. I would have been your bond, I would have been whatever you wanted but you fucking gave that up for my brother. You did something like that for him and you can’t prove you want me when someone is fucking touching me in front of you?”
[Stiles]
“You were my bond Grace. I was going to tell you the day I brought the letter and the flowers. I gave up the bond I had with him because I wanted to be with you. I did it for you. You fucking think I did all this stuff for him but I didn’t.” He tells her before pinning her to the wall. “I fucking did it for you because I wanted you but you never fucking believe me so what is the point in me telling you that. You didn’t want me Grace. You made that clear when you wanted to have sex with him right in front of me. I just...you don’t understand what that did to me. You don’t understand and you won’t ever understand. You say you would have been all those things and you had your chance Grace. And you chose to practically fuck someone else in front of me. I never would have done that to you no matter how upset I was with you. There is no excuse for that. And I am tired of you holding your brother over my head.”
[Grace]
Grace felt her back against the wall and quickly pushed him off. “What the fuck are you talking about? Are you fucking insane? What did I need to prove I loved you more than I did? Rip my own heart out? If I had seen some girl with you like that I would have killed her without even about it, but you are a pussy and that’s not my fault Stiles.” She snapped.
[Stiles]
“Well sorry I don’t like to murder innocent people. I am not my father and I’m not your mother either.” He hissed before leaving and finding the sponsor.
[Grace]
Grace’s eyes turned black before she slapped Stiles, “Never, ever talk about my mother.” She growled darkly. “Fuck you Stiles.” She said before watching him leave.
[Stiles]
He felt the slap to his cheek and he growled. When he found the sponsor he shifted into his now hybrid form. It was rejecting his body but he didn’t care. He ripped into the sponsor and made a huge mess. Half the blood on the floor was his and the other half was the pieces of the sponsor.
[Grace]
Grace saw the blood pooling in the hallway before hearing an alarm going off. She figured someone had realized Stiles didn’t belong here. She walked over to the room and saw the bloody mess and looked over at Stiles. “What have you done?”
[Stiles]
“You wanted me to prove that I loved you so I did.” He groaned in pain as a black substance started dripping from his eyes. “You had broken our bond Grace...I couldn’t live without you but now. It’s okay...Who needs happy endings right?” He coughed.
[Grace]
“We don’t have a fucking bond. You don’t get to just bond with someone Stiles. When would we have done that? When I was high? Drunk? When you decided to come back for me? That’s not fucking love. So that’s not a fucking bond. So whatever you are doing now, is not love.” She said before seeing people running towards her. “Fuck...fuck.” She cussed as she didn’t know what to do. She looked at Stiles before looking at the guards. “Cover your ears.” She told him before moving out in the hallway and screaming.
[Stiles]
Stiles took her hand. “We bonded when I first slept with you. I didn’t know it at the time. I just thought the pain I got was because of adjusting to everything after I changed but it wasn’t. I don’t...I don’t know how to describe it. I just…” He shifted to his wolf form so he could try to heal before covering his ears.
[Grace]
Grace watched the windows shatter as the guards fell to the ground. “We don’t have time to talk about that Stiles. We need to go now.” She said before grabbing her letter that fell on the ground and started to run out of the rehab.
[Stiles]
Stiles followed before laying down. Just get on my back. I can run us away from them faster than on foot. He tells her before waiting for her to get on his back.
[Grace]
Grace stopped and looked at Stiles. She couldn’t believe she was doing this. She was supposed to be getting better and now she was running away with Stiles. “Fuck.” She yelled in frustration. She got on Stiles back and held on tightly.
[Stiles]
His body was healing as they ran away. He brought her to a small house that he had found recently that he knew no one would go to. Once they got there he shifted and carried her inside. “We will be safer here.” He tells her before shutting the door and locking it. Stiles then shifted back to his wolf form so he could heal more. He guarded the door as he sat down. Help yourself to whatever you want here.
[Grace]
She looked around the house and just ran her hand through her hair. “I’m not hungry.” She said before watching him guard the door. “I...I have to call my dad. I mean my mom...I need to tell him I am safe.”
[Stiles]
You should probably read that letter before you try to do anything… He tells her before getting up and nudging her.
[Grace]
“Don’t...touch me.” She said moving away from him. She looked at the letter and moved to grab it before opening it and sitting at the table to read it.
[Cameron]
‘Dear princess,
I know there is a lot that I need to say but not much time to do so. I just first off wanted to tell you that I am sorry. I am sorry for losing my temper and hitting you. I never should have done that. You are all that I have left princess. Your mother left again...I don’t know where he went. Your brother is still gone. I don’t even know if I am raising your new brother right. Noah just left me with him. I know you are in rehab and I hope you are getting better. I want to come visit you but they told me you aren’t stable. Stiles told me he was able to get in to talk to you so I wanted him to give you this letter. I know your mother doesn’t trust him but I do. He risked a lot to come and visit you at rehab, lord knows what your mother would have done if he was still here and knew that Stiles was sneaking out to see you.
He cares about you and I can tell. You two are quite lucky. I wished that your mother looked at me the way he looks at you, the way he talks about you. Look at me, wishing I had your mother back but he doesn’t care about me. It doesn’t matter anymore, I know you were trying to do well by bringing him back. I wish I knew how to be a better parent but I never would have thought I would have been blessed with such a beautiful family. I know things seem bleak but I am going to fix this, it might take some trial and error but I want to be a parent you are proud of. One that you can rely on. Once they tell me it is safe, I would love to see you but only if you want me to. I love you princess.
Love Daddy’
[Grace]
Grace read the letter and her eyes turned blue as she started crying. She wiped away the tears as she set the letter down. “I need a phone.” She said softly.
