Old Love (Stiles & Theo)

13: Nope, this isn't happening he's not here✔️

     Scott and I were staring at the full moon sitting on top of Stiles's Jeep. I just finished being on a date with a boy named Josh and it didn't go bad or good, I just wasn't interested. I wasn't going to go to the date, but Lydia and Scott made me go "Ana, how did your date go?" Scott asks "Wait! What?! You went on a date, is that why you look nice?" Stiles says "Yeah. Scott, when he gave me a bouquet of lilies I knew this would be our only date" I say "Well that was cute and nice" Scott says "No! Ana hates them if you give her lilies, she will kill you or really dislike you already, but she does love roses especially white and red roses" Stiles says and I nod in agreement. "All right, so I found some cool two bedrooms in the Mission District, but they're pretty expensive. A couple in Haight and Ashbury. Also expensive." Stiles says "What about Berkeley?" Scott asked. "Don't a lot of students live around there?" Stiles asks "Yeah, yeah, we could try Nob Hill." Scott says "But, the Jeep would probably burn through a lot of clutches." Stiles says "You're bringing the Jeep?" Scott asks Stiles "You know the plan, okay. No one gets left behind. That's the plan. Lydia's not gonna have a problem getting into Stanford. Kira's thinking USF. Malia's, uh, gonna, you know, she'll figure something out, okay. And Ana, you promised you'll come with us. The plan's perfect." Stiles says "Ana? You've been quiet, what's wrong?" Scott says I turn to him and Stiles, I had a guilty look. I grab two papers from my bag and gave it to Stiles and he walked over to Scott to show him the papers, they read it and they look at me "You got a scholarship to the school we want to go to that's great" Stiles says I roll my eyes "Read the other paper" I say they read it "You got a Scholarship to UCLA as well" Scott whispers "Other places as well, but those are my top two and their paying for me to go to the school, but it's either go with you guys or go to my dream school" I say "You want to go to LA?" Stiles asks "Ever since I was a little girl," I said "Oh" They both say. "Hey let's not worry about this now I still have some time to think about what school I want to go to" I say "Ana, either way, we're proud of you, have you told Chris?" Stiles asks "Um Allison also wanted to go UCLA and my dad knew how much she wanted to go, but she's not going to have a chance to go anymore" I said Scott nods and I give him a light smile.

      "We could also wait until we actually get into college and then figure out where to live." Scott says "I have a vision, dude. Okay? And it is a beautiful vision. Don't ruin the vision. Okay, we can check out the East Bay. Haven't looked at Oakland yet, you know." Stiles says "Are you guys starting to feel it?" Stiles says "No, I'm just thinking," I say "Same here," Scott says "About what?" Stiles asks "Senior year," Scott says "So am I," I say "Senior year, come on, that's, That's nothing. That's gonna be easy." Stiles says "It's mostly what Deaton told Scott and I once," I say and Scott nods "You ever hear of regression to the mean?" Scott says "No, I don't think so," Stiles says "It was basically his way of saying that life can't ever be all bad or all good. You know, eventually, things have to come back to the middle. So, think about the last few months. Things have been good, right? But not amazing." I say "Yeah, but no one's tried to kill us in six months either." Stiles says "Right. We've been pretty much in the middle for a while. Which means, at some point, the scale has to tip one way or the other. Things are gonna get really good again" Scott said and I nod in agreement. "Or really bad," Stiles says. Thunder starts cracking "Thinks it's been long enough," Stiles says "Yes!" I hear Liam yell I turn to him and he was tied in chains around a tree. "Hey! Trying to have an adult conversation over here." Stiles says "All right, you're two years older than me. And I'm fine. Just let me go" Liam says we walk over him "It's not that we don't trust you." I was cut off by Stiles "It's that I don't trust you" Stiles says. "But after that last full moon," Scott says "It was one slip up." Liam says "Slip up? A dozen calls to the Sheriff's Department about a 'monstrous dog-boy running around the streets of Beacon Hills naked.' That's a slip up?" Stiles says, I was taking off the chain off Liam and I look at Liam "Why were you naked?" I ask "It was really hot out that night, okay. Let me go." Liam says "You sure you're okay?" I ask him he nods "It won't happen again," Liam says and I nod "You're in complete and total control?" Scott asks Liam "Yeah. Complete and total." Liam says I take off the chain and put them in the bag. And we go in Stiles Jeep and drive off.

     "Is it a party?" Liam asks "It's not a party." Stiles says "Then what's at midnight?" Liam asks "Your bedtime," Stiles says "Are the other girls going?" Liam asks "They're meeting us there," I say "And just stop asking questions, all right? It's a senior thing. You'll know when you're a senior." Stiles says "Are you guys having trouble with your phones?" Scott asks, but then Stiles's Jeep shuts down "Oh. What the hell?" Stiles says "Stiles for your birthday I'm going to fix your Jeep without duct tape," I said "Please," he says "You out of gas?" Liam asks "No, it's electrical. Probably the alternator again." Stiles says we get out of the Jeep and go to the front of the jeep to see what's wrong. Stiles open the jeep to see the engine Scott puts the light so we could see "Wow" I said "Wow thats a lot of duct tape" Scott says Stiles gave me a 'really' look "Kidding" Scott says "We'll fix it" I say Stiles sighs "I know, it's just the last night of summer, you know, so I wanted to make sure everyone was there tonight." Stiles says "We'll make it," I say reassuring him "You have any tools?" Scott asks "Yeah," Stiles says taking out the duct tape and I nod. "Guys!" I hear Liam yell "Yeah, give us a second please" Stiles yells back "Liam stay in the car okay?" I say. Stiles was about to put a duct tape on the engine, but I heard a lightning hit behind us I let a little scream I turn "Oh my gosh that was close" I say "Very close" Stiles says then Stiles Jeep all of a sudden turn on Liam take out his head from the window "Can we go now?" he says and I nod and jump over the seat to get in the back with Liam and drive off to pick up Malia.

     We pass by Malia and her dad and I take off my seatbelt and push the wheel three times which made the car honked three times "Ana get back in your seat" Stiles says "Okay mom" I say and Stiles rolls his eyes, but I could see him starting to smile. Malia and her dad walk towards us "Sorry we're late" Stiles says Malia jogs over to Stiles "Hey" Stiles says and they kiss "I'm sorry too" Liam says and I pull him back to his seat. "You boys do remember I own a gun, right?" Malia's father says "Vividly," Stiles says and he nods, he then gives Malia a wink and walks away.
