_{BUT HE GREW UP.}

#there you sit in the house that is no longer yours #in the bedroom you haven’t seen in years #all his old toys are gone; there are posters on the wall for things you don’t even know #a helmet for a bike you didn’t know he could ride sits on top of a pile of books #when did he get old enough to enjoy classics so much? #when did he become a boy with more books strewn across his floor than dirty clothes?#what did you come here for in your stern suit and badge? #did you know your ex-wife was missing? #were you suspicious that your son skipped school? #were you worried personally and professionally #or did you just stop by hoping to see his face #hoping that if you didn’t call first he couldn’t make an excuse #only to find the house empty

#did you justify taking the spare key from the flowerpot by saying that there had to be a connection? #you never saw Melissa at the hospital; Scott is nowhere to be found #just like the sheriff only it hasn’t been long enough to declare it official #but you’re suspicious; it’s your job #you’re just doing your job you think a you step through the silent house #but you don’t even try to make sense of anything

#instead you just sit down on your son’s bed because the only way you can is without permission #you look around the unfamiliar room and wonder about his asthma #wonder about the things he’s gotten up to with the sharp-tongued boy who hates you so much #even selfish and careless men can love their sons #you don’t deserve to be here but you are

#like Peter Hale you created Scott but you did not shape what he became #the young man who stands in the face of the vicious unknown and rejects it #the boy who defies the presence of his claws in favor of gentle healing hands #he did that all without you (despite you) and you don’t even know #Teen Wolf #Agent McCall — (beautiful beautiful tags by tofixtheshadows)
