    Summary

    Derek Hale didn’t go to college to heal. He didn’t go to make friends. He went because Laura said he had to and because running from ghosts felt easier than talking about them. He didn’t know Hannah would change that.

    And then when Derek returned to Beacon Hills, people thought he was guarded because he’d lost his sister and the rest of his family.
    But grief like his doesn’t start with one loss. It started with the loss of his family of course, but then he tried to move on and then was forced to bury the love of his life after she died in his arms.

    Losing Laura after that was the worst thing that could have happened.
