After a few more hours of just talking about random things, Scott left to go pick up Lydia. Seeing him calm and smiling made me feel accomplished. I'm the one that made that happen. He was happy to spend time with me and that made me feel like the luckiest girl in the world.
"Allison," Kate shouted after the front door closed. "You home?"
"Upstairs!"
She came up and stood in my doorway. "How was school?"
"Oh, it's was the usual. Boring classes, impatient teachers, and complaining about it all at lunch with friends."
Kate grins and says "Did my niece finally ditch a day of school?"
"What? No."
"You totally did. What was the special occasion?" She pulls me over to my bed. "Oh come on, I'm not your parents, I'm your fun aunt. Tell me. Your parents will never know."
"Scott was stressing about court and I didn't want that so I asked him to ditch with me."
"So, did you two...do the deed?"
I blush and say "I told him I wasn't ready and he was fine with it. He's amazing. I'm probably the luckiest girl in the world."
"A guy who doesn't mind waiting. That's the first I've heard of it."
"Scott's different."
"You ready for our trip?"
"Yeah, I guess. I just feel so uncomfortable leaving Lydia and Scott. Scott is still staying with Stiles and Lydia's arranged to stay with Erica."
"Alright, so you excited about going back to San Francisco?"
"Not really. Beacon Hills is home. I feel like I belong here."
Kate smiles and says "You do sweetheart, but you belong anywhere you want to. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise."
"I know. Thanks Kate. You've always had my best interest in mind."
"You're my only niece and I love you, which is why I talked it over with your parents and we won't be going away this weekend."
"What?"
"Your parents and I talked it over and we all know you wouldn't enjoy it if you're worrying about your friends. So we talked it over while I was at the gym and decided we'd stay for court. Lydia and Scott need our support, specifically yours."
"Scott doesn't want me in court with him. He doesn't want me near Raffaele."
"Well, that doesn't mean you can't go to support Lydia. Plus, you don't have to be in the court room with him to support him."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go."
"Your parents will meet us there."

When we reached the courthouse, Scott was outside pacing back and forth. His hands were at his sides, clenched into fists so tightly that I could see his knuckles turning white from across the hall. Lydia stormed out of the courtroom next to the one Scott was pacing in front of. Kate and I walked over just in time for Lydia to plop down on the bench between the courtrooms.
"Allison," she said quickly. "What are you doing here? You're supposed to be going out of town."
"You two need me. Mind if I keep you two company?"
