Five Years Later
"Stiles its recording!”
“What? Oh! Hi! You've reached Stiles”
“And Derek”
“And Shiloh”
“And Olivia Hale-Stilinski”
“And we can't come to the phone but if you leave a message we'll call you back!”
Hello, it's me, I was wondering
If after all these years you'd like to meet to go over everything
They say that time's supposed to heal, yeah
But I ain't done much healing
Uh, hi Stiles, it's Scott. I know we haven't talked in a long time but I'm going to be in New York in a few weeks and I was wondering if you wanted to get a cup of coffee and talk? I uh, I've really missed you man, I still think about you all the time. It's been hard without you, and I thought it might get easier with time but no such luck. Give me a call back, bye Stiles.
Hello, can you hear me?
I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be
When we were younger and free
I've forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet
There's such a difference between us
And a million miles
Hey man, it's Scott again. Not sure if you can hear me, my signal is kinda spotty. I'm sitting in the preserve right now, just thinking about how much fun we used to have out here as kids; way back before all the crazy started, back when no one depended on us and we were free to do whatever we wanted. It's almost hard to remember how it was before everything fell apart y’know? It's a trip to think about how we live on opposite sides of the country now. With the way we were always together as kids I never imagined you'd ever be like a million miles away from me. Call me when you have a chance, I'd love to hear from you.
Hello from the other side
I must've called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry, for everything that I've done
But when I call you never seem to be home
Hey Stiles, it's me calling again. Look dude, I really wish you'd call me back. I uh, I wanted to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry for so many things. I didn't have your back, I took you for granted, and I didn’t listen when I should have. I- I made a huge mistake when I let our friendship fall apart. I really want to say this to your face, or at least know you're on the other end of the phone and you can hear me, but every time I call I guess you're not home. Still looking forward to hearing from you, give me a call.
Hello, how are you?
It's so typical of me to talk about myself, I'm sorry
I hope that you're well
Did you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happened?
It’s no secret
That the both of us are running out of time
Hey Stiles, Scott again. So uh, how are you doing? I know I've been talking about myself a lot in these messages but I hope everything is good with you. It sounds like it, based on your voicemail. Shiloh and Olivia Hale-Stilinski, huh? Wow, man, that's a big deal. And great you know, I'm uh, I'm happy for you. Do you still live in that town you moved to where nothing ever happens? I guess some big things happened there for you after all. Hey, that trip I'm taking to New York is coming up really soon so if you want to meet up you should give me a call back, we're kinda running out of time. Call me when you have a chance.
Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I've tried
To tell you I'm sorry, for breaking your heart
But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore
Hey Stiles, I guess this will be the last message I leave you; I know you think I'm pretty oblivious but I can take a hint sometimes. You know, when you told me I broke your heart by not trusting you or hearing you out I thought you were being dramatic. I didn't get it then, but I think I understand a little better now. I'm so sorry for that Stiles, for making you feel that way. Like I said before, I think about you all the time, but you've moved on to bigger and better things, and I'm glad this doesn't tear you apart like it did when you left. I guess there's no point in calling and apologizing for something that doesn't matter anymore. Bye Stiles
