From: Stiles

Be ready in 15 minutes.

I read the text over and over again as I try and figure out what he is planning. See here's the thing. I haven't heard from Stiles for a whole week and here he is texting me out of the blue telling me to be ready. I mean Stiles has planned surprise dates every now and then throughout the summer, but he usually gives me a heads up or tells me what to wear. This text is short and simple with no indication where we are going and why we are going.

This summer has been quite peaceful and I'm actually starting to think that maybe just maybe we are done with the whole constant fear for our lives and we can actually just live and enjoy it, which is why I spent this summer between working with Melissa, buying a new bike, going out with Stiles, or hanging out with Lydia since Allison is in France. I heard though she is supposed to come back today and Lydia wanted me to join her to pick her up, but I told her to go on without me and enjoy getting her best friend back. She reluctantly agreed and told me something on the lines of I'm her best friend too not just Allison.

Stiles and I have been going strong staying together this whole summer has made us together for officially four months and counting. Since he didn't have a summer job and I did we didn't get to see each other much, but when we did we made the most of it. Also with Stiles being Stiles he would sometimes come and bring both Melissa and I lunch and eat with us just to spend some time with me. He also joined me in picking my brand new bike which of course terrified him to no ends, but I reassured him that if I could handle surviving a killer Kanima I can handle a motorbike.

Since he didn't quite explain where we were going I decided on just wearing the new outfit I bought when I went shopping with Lydia the other day. It consists of a white cold shoulder bell sleeve top, some tan jeans, and my new beige suede ankle boots. Since I wasn't driving I decided to wear heels again. Throughout this whole summer I've been going back and forth between converse and combat boots of course against Lydia's suggestions, but I had to be comfortable to work in the hospital and to drive my bike. You can't wear skirts, dresses, and four inch heels on a motorbike it wouldn't work.

For my hair I decided on just leaving it down praying it won't get stuck in my earrings, but not having enough care to put it in some kind of fancy up-do. That was another thing Stiles wasn't completely on board with that is until I got them. On my right ear I have earrings lining all the way up and I like them. When I first got them done he kept complaining about them, but finally he has accepted them and likes them saying they give me kind of a badass vibe.

My makeup is simple, but enough to stand out. I match my eyeshadow with my outfit and keep my lips a neutral color, as suggested by Stiles therefore he doesn't have to explain why there is lipstick on his lips after we make-out. I think it's quite cute that he wants me to stay neutral because then that means that he wants to kiss me like a lot and I won't have to worry about fixing my lipstick after.

Once I am completely finished I grab my bag and my phone to see that I still have five minutes before Stiles gets here. I also notice that I have a new text message from Derek. Opening it I see it's just him asking how I have been doing and giving me updates on Isaac. Throughout the summer Isaac has been searching day and night trying to find Erica and Boyd and never has any luck. Now he has been missing and we don't know what happened to him and why. We figured he must have found them and whoever kidnapped them in the first place found him and now they have him as well. If that's the case we aren't finding any of them anytime soon.
