"WELL?"

"Well, what?"

"What?"

"Huh?"

"Stiles." The boy in question turned his head in Jace's direction to see that he was being given an amused expression. "Don't you think that you're tortured them enough?"

Stiles hummed in thought before shaking his head, "No."

"Why are you trying to 'torture' us, Stiles?" Liam questioned, giving him a confused puppy look.

"Oh, I don't know." Stiles hummed before throwing out his arms. "Maybe because your stupid friends kicked me out of the freaking pack after my dad died!"

Silence filled the room as all eyes landed on him.

He took in a deep breath. "That's why I was going to Derek's loft; I wanted to find the fucking killer, but you kicked me out of the pack. I lost everything I knew and loved all in one night."

"Stiles..."

"And It doesn't help that I found out that my parents were not my parents or my cousin wasn't my cousin, and my aunt wasn't my aunt. My parents were assigned to keep me hidden from my father who is a raging psychopath, by the way. My cousin is actually my twin, and my aunt is actually my mom." He chuckled darkly. "If that doesn't prove how messed up my life is, that I don't know what will."

"Stiles–"

"Oh, and let's not forget that I am not even human but a special Supernatural hunter; half angel and human. We're called Shadowhunters. Stupid name, I know, I didn't pick it."

"Stiles–"

"Oh, and my best friend Simon is a fucking vampire who's actually some mutated vamp because he can actually be in the sunlight which is weird, but whatever." He chuckled. "It's crazy how much we're alike." He smiled at Simon. "I'm surprise he wasn't my twin. But, instead, I'm stuck with Clary."

"Hey!" Clary exclaimed, shaking his shoulder from where she stood beside him.

"Also, I'm bisexual." When Stiles spoke those words, he entwined his fingers with Alec's. "That's right, the guy you thought you knew, you don't know at all." He bit the inside of his cheek as he forced myself to not cry in front of them. Everything was finally starting to overwhelm him. Being back home in Beacon Hills, it made his heart feel heavy, and his shoulders felt like they were being weighed down by boulders.

"Stiles..."

"And that is why we need your help." Jace stepped forward, laying his hand on Stiles' shoulder to help ground him.

"Help with what?" Scott's voice cracked as he tore his gaze away from Stiles, his doe brown eyes filled with tears.

"Help to defeat Valentine, once and for all."
