I Love Him But I Can't (Scallison)

I'm Back Now

Waiting for my luggage was the most nerve-wracking experience of my life. Having to wait for a black luggage that seemed to be everyone's choice in luggage was torture. It was just a continuous assembly line of luggages that were exactly alike. With each luggage that passed and wasn't mine, I lost time with Lydia and Scott.

"Relax," Kate said beside me. "You're shaking."

"I need to get out of here?! I want to hug Lydia. I want to kiss Scott. I can't waste anymore time in this stupid luggage claim."

"You'll do that after you get your bags. Plus, you'll be in a cabin by the lake with them for the rest of the summer. You'll be with them soon."

"Not soon enough. I want to be with them right now. At this very second."

Dad laughs. "I know these last two weeks have been hard on you but you'll be reunited with them as soon as we get the luggages and drive to the cabin."

I groan. "This is taking forever. Summer will be over by the time we get out of here."

"Don't be so dramatic kiddo," Kate said. "You'll be with your friends soon."

Just thinking about seeing them brought a smile to my face. I couldn't wait to see Lydia in whatever red carpet outfit she came up with. I couldn't wait to smell her strawberry shampoo. I couldn't wait for her to scream loud enough that she'd damage part of my hearing. It would be so worth it. Seeing my sister would be worth it.

Then there's Scott. God I missed him. I missed his warm and sweet crooked smile. A smile that I swear could light up the entire world. I could imagine his arms around me, holding me tightly and refusing to let me go. I missed hearing his breathing and the steady lub dub of his heart. I can't wait till I hear his gentle voice and can kiss his soft lips.

"We only have one left," Kate said which snapped me out of my thoughts. "You missing the boyfriend?"

"So much that I might hallucinate him here."

"There," I jumped up and pointed at a black luggage that's tag read 'Allison Argent'. I grabbed it and made a beeline towards the exit.

I gave my luggage of dirty clothes to my parents and took Kate's car to the cabin. She also told me to not forget what's in the glove compartment. I'll check when I get there but I'm sure it's just an extra extra stack of cash. That woman believes in extra everything. When we went camping, she brought two dart guns for herself just in case the first malfunctioned. It was a great camping trip though. I make the turn for Lydia's cabin and park just outside the path so I can surprise them.

Condoms. There were condoms in the glove compartment. Kate can't seriously think that's all Scott and I will be doing. Then again, I wouldn't mind if we did spend the rest of the summer doing that.

"Allison," Lydia shouted as she came running towards me. She tackles me in a hug and I almost collapse from the force of it. "I've missed you so much."

"I missed you too."

Lydia rolls her eyes at me. "Go ahead. Ask me about Scott. I know you want to."

"Where is he?"

"He ran off an hour again rambling about the lake and you."
