Dear Kira,

I know we said that we would try to keep in touch after your parents decided to move again, but that clearly hasn't been going well since it's been just over a year now. So, let me catch you up on everything you've missed.

Stiles and I have gotten close again. Not like we used to be, but I don't think it'll ever be like it used to be. I'm okay with that now. I think I am, at least. He told me about how he became human again, how Derek's pure intentions saved him. I'm glad he and Derek are together. I didn't think I would be, but they make each other happy. Derek smiles now, and Stiles doesn't always have that undertone smell of anxiety clinging to him. I never paid enough attention to it. It is still there, but it's lessening now. I wish I could've realised sooner. I'm trying to stop doing that; wishing to change what I did. All I can do now is try to understand why I did it and then learn from that.

Isaac and Danny are really good together. He's helped Isaac in ways that I would never have been able to. Isaac can talk to me without his scent souring now, so that's an improvement! I know he won't ever forgive me. I don't deserve that, though. What I said... not even I can forgive it. I hope to any God out there that I haven't made him doubt himself. He deserves happiness; he deserves Danny.

Lydia's... well, Lydia. I'm not sure if she's forgiven me, I'm not even sure if she wanted me to try to earn her forgiveness. She said she did but she doesn't act like it. I've been trying anyway. She's dating someone, she won't tell us who yet. She says that she doesn't want us scaring them off, although they are a part of the supernatural world. I think she met them at the club on Stiles' eighteenth birthday. I can't believe I missed that. We had been planning it for years.

The rest of The Pack are doing well, too. Some of them forgave me quickly, some of them let me back in but said that it wasn't up to them on whether or not I was forgiven. No-one's explicitly mad anymore – they haven't been for a while. That's... good.

They started letting me come to Pack Nights when they have them. Those are always fun. Sometimes I have to leave early, usually because Danny asks me to. It's okay, I understand it.

Lydia asked me a while ago whether or not I was worried about the kidnappers (remember I told you about them a little while before you left) coming back. I'm not. I'm not anything special or "collectable" anymore. And even if I was, I think The Pack would stop them. Now at least. I'm glad I have them on my side again. I really am.

I miss you. I wonder if you miss me? How's life over there? Anything interesting happen, do you plan on visiting anytime soon, or could I come see you?

There're a few things I would prefer to keep so that I can tell you in person but in case I don't get the chance:

Stiles and Derek are moving in together soon. Stiles got into the pre-FBI program at the George Washington University in Washington D.C. So they're working out how that'll work, with some of The Pack staying in Beacon Hills, some of them going elsewhere, and Derek being the alpha.

Lydia got into her top choice for university, obviously. Most of The Pack that wanted to go to uni this year got into good places. Stiles and Derek helped them out with arranging everything. I took a gap year but I'm going to start soon, hence why I decided to write this now; I'll be busy moving and then with work. Also, my therapist said it might be a good idea, he knows all about the supernatural world – Stiles helped me find him. He's been going too, as have some of the others. It's really been helping me, we're working through a lot of things, but it is helping. Mom's been helping me out a lot, as well.

Stiles said he's noticed the difference.

I'm trying to be happy again. The Pack is where I've always felt happiest. I hope one day I'll be able to understand why I tried so hard to sabotage that.

Anyway, uni. I'm excited. Stiles said that it's been great but he misses everyone. Derek goes up there frequently, though. That's probably why they're moving in together.

Isaac is going to the same place I will be, I don't know if he's happy or not about that, he's probably not, but he did say that it was a good place.

Everyone's doing well. We've only had a few creatures invade the town, all of which we've handled well. But other than that, everything's been good.

Oh, Noah's stopped glaring at me every time I see him and so has Derek... as much as Derek can not glare, anyway.

I think that's everything that's important. If I think of anything else then I'll write you another email.

I hope to see you soon, and I hope that we'll be able to actually stay in contact.

Love, Scott.

P.S. I'm no longer afraid of my own monsters.
