Once in California

CHAPTER 23

Stiles got out of the car and gave Logan a hug.

“I’ll stay here” the boy said and Stiles nodded “Good luck, and remember what I told you… just go for it”

Stiles laughed and wave at him.

When he entered the airport his heart was beating fast. Faster than it normally would. He was not afraid anymore but he was nervous, he was still questioning if what he was going to do was the right thing.

He asked one of the security guys where to find the gate  and he ran towards it. It was a bit far from where he was so he was out of breath when he got there.

“Holly shit, this is hard” he whispered

He looked up, trying to find the brunette. He couldn’t find her of course, so he stood up on one of the line of chairs to see better.

“Emilia!” he called twice but still couldn’t find her.

“Shit shit shit” he whispered when he saw the security guard coming right at him.

“Stiles??” he heard Emilia’s sweet voice on his right and he smiled. Quickly he got off the chairs and the guard backed off when he shared and apologetic look with him.

"Oh hey, there you are, hi" stiles said awkwardly and got closer to the brunette who was staring at him.

"Stiles, what are you doing here?" She asked with confusion showing all over her face.

She looked so pretty when she was confused, Stiles shook his own thought and remember why he was there.

"You can't leave” he said and she rolled her eyes

“Please don’t do this…”she said crossing her arms

“Just hear me out ok? maybe after I tell you this you’ll stay…” he thought about it for five seconds “ or maybe you won’t who knows..." he laughed again.

Why was he so nervous.

"I really have to go Stiles, what's going on?" She was still looking at him with her arms cross.

It was now or never he had to do this.  He was not a baby anymore, and he was not a coward.

"Milly...  I... Kit was right, he was not inventing things you know..."

"Kit was right about what?"  She was losing her patience, she didn’t want to talk about Kit, not now, not ever.

"About me...and my feelings for you" he said and stood still waiting for her reaction.

Emilia frowned, what was he talking about?. Why everyone had to said the word feelings so much?

"What feelings? Stiles... what are you talking about?" She realised she was afraid of hearing his answer.  She was not ready for that it didn’t matter what he said.

"What I mean is that he didn't make them up, they are real, I feel things for you" he said it and it felt great and horrible at the same time. He looked down, not being able to look at her face. But he raised his head back up when he heard her chuckle.

"I can't believe you... do you really think that it would work?” she said and Stiles felt a huge pain in his heart, why was she saying that?

“What?” he asked

“Stiles I know you love your best friend but saying that just to save his ass is pathetic" she said and grabbed her carry on to leave.

"Wait!!” Stiles stopped her “you think I'm lying? Why on earth would I do that?" He said and she turned around.
