Stiles tapped his keys on the arm of the hospital chair he sat in, remembering what Hope told him, replaying it in his mind over and over again.
'Please don't tell anyone. Please don't tell anyone. Please don't tell anyone.'
Hope was a friend to him, a very good friend, and he couldn't tell anyone about her. Even Scott, but he couldn't tell her about Scott either. Now he was keeping secrets from his best friend and his girlfriend,'no not girlfriend,' Stiles had to remind himself.
She was a girl that was a friend, that was all, that was all they were ever going to be... Maybe.

Stiles was walking to his class when Hope ran up to him,"Hi," She said awkwardly.
Stiles remained silent, only giving her an awkward smile.
"Did you tell anyone about..." She trailed off, knowing that Stiles would understand what he was talking about.
"No," Stiles answered, saying the first thing since that night a week ago.
"How's your Dad?" Hope asked, trying to get him to talk to her.
"Bruised, but nothing permanent," Stiles answered.
"Are we ever going to talk about... it?" Hope asked nervously.
"We have class right now," Stiles reminded her as the bell rang.
"Right," Hope said,"Maybe later then."
"... Yeah," Stiles said, and they both left each other.
Stiles steps into his class and sits down in his usual seat when Scott slips into the class.
When Scott sees Stiles he lets out a relieved breath, but Stiles just glances away from him as the young werewolf takes a seat behind him.
"You still not talking to me?" Scott asks, but Stiles ignores him, giving Scott his answer,"Can you at least tell me if your Dad is okay? It was just a bruise, right? Soft tissue damage?"
Stiles remained silent, he was in deep shit, between keeping Scott's secret then Hope's and trying to figure out whatever the hell she is. Stiles is pretty sure she doesn't even know what she is.
"Okay, what if I told you that I'm trying to figure this out?" Scott continues,"And that I went to Derek for help."
Stiles couldn't help but talk back,"If I was talking to you, I'd tell you that you're an idiot for trusting him. But obviously I'm not talking to you."
The room settles for the beginning of class.
Stiles opens his notebook, pen poised for note taking. Then, unable to stand it, he whips his head around,"What did he say?"
Time Skip
After class Scott follows Stiles out of the class finishing the story.
"He wants you to tap into your animal side and get angry? Correct me if I'm wrong, but every time you do that you try to kill someone. That someone usually being me," Stiles reminds him.
"That's what he means when he says he doesn't know if he can teach me. I have to be able to control it," Scott told him, looking very miserable.
"How's he going to teach you to do that?" Stiles asked, thinking this was starting to sound very similar to what he experienced as a kid.
"I don't know. I don't think he does either," Scott said.
"When are you seeing him again?" Stiles asked.
