Lydia was standing beside me. "I can't believe you're leaving tomorrow."

"I'll be back in two weeks."

"That's forever. How am I supposed to live without my sister?"

"You'll be fine. You're going to the lake with Melissa and Scott."

"It'll be cool, but even better if you were with us. I'm gonna be all alone at my cabin."

"Why don't you crash with Melissa and Scott till I get there?"

"I might just wait here till you return. I'll bury myself in the covers and binge on ice cream."

I shake my head. "No, you're going to the lake and going to have a fun time. I'll be back soon enough. You can make Scott watch the Notebook every night till I come back."

Lydia seems to be considering it. "I do love the Notebook and Melissa would probably join us. That could work. However, it won't fill the void your absence leaves in my heart."

"We'll talk over Skype. You can fill me in on how you're spending your time."

"Speaking of spending time, you seeing Scott before you leave tomorrow afternoon?"

"I'm having dinner at his house and then he's coming to the airport tomorrow. Why do you ask?"

Lydia shrugs. "I can't go a day without at least kissing Stiles. I don't know how you and Scott are gonna last two weeks."

"I'll be fine. Plus, it'll just make my return that much better."

"Ooh, thinking of ways to celebrate?"

"Celebrate what," my dad asked as he stood in the doorway.

Lydia smiles and says "When she comes back from France. She's gonna be so happy to see me again that we'll have to have a party at the cabin. You want an invite Mr. Argent? I can put you on the V.I.P. list."

Dad laughs. "No thanks. I think you two should have fun on your own. As long as Allison texts me when she can so I know she's alright."

Lydia puts her hand on my shoulder. "I promise she will. I'll have her under my watchful eye."

"I think it'd be safer if you both watched each other." Dad kisses my forehead. "Say hi to Melissa and Scott tonight and be home before eleven tonight. We need to go to the airport early so we're ready for our flight."

I nod. "I will. See you later dad."

When I pulled up to the McCall house, Scott was waiting on the porch for me.

"Hey handsome. Couldn't wait inside?"

"Was too far away from you so waiting outside made it quicker for me to hug you. Speaking of which," he jumps over the railing and pulls me into a tight hug.
