James: Malia, are you sure about this?

Me: yes, I'm sure they'll like you

James: fine. Is Stiles going to be there?

Me: yes. Why?

James: idk, it's weird. Like, won't he feel weird about me being there?

Me: James, they don't know I have a boyfriend

Me: except Lydia

James: I don't think I should go to Lily's grave, I didn't know her.

Me: I didn't know your grandma either...

James: ... Fine

MALIA SQUEEZED JAMES' HAND AS HE PARKED THE CAR. They both unbuckled their belts and got out of the yellow mini. Malia grinned widely as she and her boyfriend knocked on Lydia's door.

The first day of freshman college year, Malia was lost in the campus. When she was about to start angrily crying, a handsome blond green eyed junior helped her find her class. Since then, they'd started going on small dates, until they both fell hard for each other.

Now, Malia was a sophomore and James was a senior. They hadn't talked about after college, but they had time.

They
Had
Time.

The door flew open revealing a squealing strawberry blond girl, who hugged Malia tightly.

"Malia!" Lydia continued squealing, squeezing Malia's insides. Since when is she so strong? Malia skied herself, her hands to her sides. She couldn't even hug back.

Finally, Lydia let go and turned to James. James ran a hand through his hair and waved shyly. Malia loved how caring he was. When she met him, he was shy, and still tried to help.

They introduced themselves, and went into the house. Scott, Liam and Hayden were already inside. Only Stiles hadn't arrived.

They all started eating when Scott received a text from Stiles.

Dear Lily,

Today James met Stiles. As you know, a few weeks ago I told James about me, and he was freaked out, but now it's all normal.

Anyway, the pack seemed to like him, and though James was shy at first, he started joining in more. He's great. I fall in love with him every single day. When Stiles met him, he seemed a little shocked. But they got along fine. I think James was more nervous than Stiles, but like I said, they're okay. They even exchanged numbers!

However, Stiles is bad. He looks bad. Honestly, he isn't himself anymore. Take care of him, okay? Even Liam is handling it better than him.

I'm worried about him.

But I know you're watching out for him,
So keep on, he loves you.
