Chapter Text
The trunk of the car was packed and the moving van in front gave Y/N a thumbs up that they were ready to go. After three years university, she had finally done the impossible and now it was time to head back to her home town - Beacon Hills. Y/N thought about staying within the city to pursue her career but deep down she knew she had to go back home for her baby brother, Isaac. After her mother had left them with their father since she could remember. Her father had a history of drinking whenever things would go downhill. Not long after starting university, her younger brother Camden had passed away at the sweet age of 13 from a tragic sports incident and her baby brother Isaac was the only family she had left.
She started the engine and drove out first giving the moving van behind her a nod as they followed behind her as she began her journey home. Thankfully it was only a two hour drive home to her small apartment. She drove down the long winding roads admiring the scenery around her. The bright green fields with a few grazing sheep and the odd farm houses in the distance. She soon reached the town and breathed a sigh of relief. It looked exactly the same as it did before she had left. She arrived at her apartment and opened it up letting the moving guys in.
Once they had left, she decided the take a shower and relax in her pyjamas on the couch whilst watching tv as she ordered pizza from her favourite place before going to bed.
She was glad to be home.
~ The next day ~
Y/N woke up late that morning. She leaned over in bed and stretched looking at her alarm clock on the bedside table that read 10:11am. She trudged downstairs in her robe and slippers and made herself a mug of coffee and some chocolate chip pancakes as she sat down in the living room lounging around for a while before getting changed and heading out in to the town to see a few job vacancies she had her eyes on. As she took the last bite of her pancakes, her phone began to vibrate on the seat next to her.
‘’Hello?’’ She asked down the line answering immediately.
‘’Hello, am I speaking with Y/N Lahey?’’ a deep male voice asked on the other line.
‘’Yes, who’s calling?’’ she asked curiously.
‘’This is Sheriff Stilinski, we have a situation regarding your brother and need you to come down to station in the next hour. Would that be possible?’’ he asked, his voice calm and collected.
‘’Isaac? Is everything ok?’’ she asked worried.
‘’I need you to stay calm. I’ll explain everything when you get here. Deputy Parrish will meet you at the front,’’ he told her and hung up.
Panic set through Y/N as she scrambled into the kitchen putting her dishes in the sink and hurried to her room quickly changing into her shirt and jeans before grabbing her keys and phone and heading down to the station as she was asked. She parked up by the entrance and headed in.
‘’Y/N Lahey?’’ Deputy Parrish asked. She nodded.
‘’I’m Deputy Parrish. The Sheriff is waiting for you in his office,’’ he told her promptly.
‘’And my brother?’’, she asked anxiously.
‘’He’s waiting in the office,’’ he told her.
Deputy Parrish let Y/N into the office where she saw Isaac slumped down in his seat sniffling and noticed purple bruises on his face as he curled away into his chair shaking.
‘’Isaac?’’ Y/N called gently trying to stop her voice from breaking seeing him like this. Isaac looked up at the familiar voice and before him saw his big sister. He began to cry and raised his arms up at her to be picked up.
‘’Oh my god, Isaac! What happened? Are you ok?’’ she asked scooping the boy into her arms and holding him close to her as she ran her fingers through his curls.
‘’Daddy bad,’’ Isaac whimpered as he rest against her shoulder holding on to her.
‘’Y/N, please sit down. We need to talk about your father.’’ Sheriff Stilinksi told her with sadness in his voice.
Y/N sat down opposite the Sheriff as he began to explain to her the recent events that had happened.
‘’Do you recall your father drinking or becoming violent when he did?’’ he asked her.
‘’Most of the time but whenever it would get too much, I’d take Isaac up to my room and we’d stay up there for most of the time until he was passed out or he’d left the house,’’ Y/N explained.
‘’Did he ever hit you or Isaac?’’ He questioned further.
‘’He sent me to the emergency room when I was 13 with a broken arm and he told nurse McCall that I’d fallen down the stairs. That I had just been clumsy. As for Isaac, I wouldn’t let him get close enough to hurt him. Are you telling me my father did this to him?’’ she continued.
‘’We got a call from your neighbour about a domestic disturbance and I was the first one there to check it out,’’ Deputy Parrish explained.
‘’I found Isaac cowered in the corner of the kitchen and your father passed out on the floor. Once he came round, I arrested him and brought him here’’ He told her.
‘’Where is he now?’’ Y/N asked.
‘’In a holding cell.’’ Sheriff Stilinski assured her.
‘’I called you in because we need to discuss Isaac’s living arrangement. You’re his only family now. Would you consider taking him in to your care?’’ He asked her.
‘’Absolutely. He needs me,’’ Y/N told him and she pressed a kiss to her baby brother’s forehead.
‘’I’m so sorry, Isaac,’’ she whispered to him pressing a kiss to his crown. Deputy Parrish placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
‘’This isn’t your fault. You didn’t know it would escalate to this,’’ he told her.
‘’But I knew he was violent when drinking. I should have just taken him with me when I went away to university. I can’t believe this,’’ she stated mostly to herself as she tried to stop her tears from falling.
‘’Y/N, this isn’t your fault. The main thing is we caught him before it got any worse. His injuries are very minor but I’d like Deputy Parrish to escort you to the hospital to get them checked after we’re done here. I’ll come by your apartment tomorrow with the social worker to go through what’s happening next with Isaac’s arrangements and your father’s trial,’’ He told her writing down a time on a post it note with his number before handing it to her.
‘’That’s fine and I don’t care what happens to that man as long as he rots in jail for the rest of his life,’’ She told him angrily. Sheriff Stilinski sighed understanding her anger.
How could someone hurt such a small innocent child?
After saying their goodbyes, Y/N thanked the Sheriff for his time and followed Deputy Parrish out to the police car as he escorted them to the hospital where Melissa McCall, the assigned nurse was waiting for them.
‘’Thank you for doing this, Deputy,’’ Y/N thanked the handsome deputy as she ran her fingers through Isaac’s curls as he rest comfortably in her arms.
‘’It’s no problem at all and please call me Jordan,’’ he replied flashing a heart melting smile as he glanced at her through the rear view mirror.
‘’Thank you, Jordan,’’ Y/N replied smiling back at the handsome deputy.
