#20: TOGETHER
With John’s wife's heart-breaking passing a few years ago, and Melissa’s marriage breaking down from her ex’s drinking problems, they had come to simply work together in the parenting of their sons, Stiles and Scott. There wasn’t any sort of verbal agreement, it just fell into place and worked.

Melissa’s support was something John valued and treasured with every passing day, especially with the boys getting older now and their “problems” more serious and worrisome when they arose. Right now, with his son’s recent terrifying experiences and ailing health, he was more grateful of that help and support than ever.

#10: WALK
One of John’s happiest memories with his son was when Stiles was three. Having come home from playgroup where he learned the “When You’re Happy And You Know It” song, he sung it on a walk to the shops for icecream. Getting to the final verse, Stiles continued right on making up his own versions of more verses, and decided it was high time to teach his dad “The best song in the whole world and universe and Solar System.”

From then on, they would always sing it together, and John adored his son’s bright smile that came with it.

SMOKE

Stiles had lit up a cigarette exactly once in his life and he had ended up coughing so much, it felt like he was dying and subsequently got laryngitis for a week (which was probably cause for celebration for those close to him). He had never told his dad, and now, the second time, he had no intentions of telling him again.

It was late, he was sitting on the hood of his Jeep alone, lighting up the cigarette from the pack he had. This time he didn’t choke, and this time, it might not be his only one either.

TREATMENT

I know it's completely - and ironically - mental, but I could have sworn I saw my mom when I was in Eichen House. It was a mental health facility, and I was in there because it seemed pretty certain I was losing my mind like she had. Even if that wasn't what it turned out to be, and it would make sense my mind might be playing tricks on me in there because it was absolutely terrifying. But... you know your mom, you know? I haven't been able to bring myself to talk to anyone about it. Not Dad, not Scott, not even Isaac. I'm not crazy, I know it's impossible she was actually there, but with everything we've learned of the supernatural lately, can ghosts truly be a real thing?

( Lately, she's been on my mind more than she probably has at any other time since she died... )
