"Can we come in now?" I shouted, the rest of the group huddled behind me awaiting a reply.

"Yes!" The girls inside chorused and we all stumbled into the room. We organised ourselves in a single file line in front of Lydia's bed. I saw Lydia nudge Malia as Noah, being the last to enter, shut the door behind him. Malia returned Lydia's gesture with a cheeky yet embarrassed look.

What was going on?

"How are you, Lyds?" Scott's voice is soft.

Lydia's eyes meet mine.

"Really good actually." She speaks with a smile. A smile that draws blood to my cheeks and warmth to my heart.

"In that case, can I share something with everyone please?" He gazes around the room, lingering at Lydia for approval.

We all nod.

"Well, Kira and I are trying things again," he grabs her hand lovingly, "and I'm so excited to eventually become a part of Ena and Kira's beautiful family."

My heart grows warmer at the sight of the happiness between my friends. I patted him firmly on the shoulder, proud of them.

"Also, the three of us are going to move to Australia together, with Noah, for our vet business. We leave in just over five  months."

The entire room's cheerful atmosphere drops, along with the temperature of my heart.

Hints of smiles linger on everyone's faces. But everyone is clearly taken aback by the announcement.

"Congratulations, you guys." Lydia breaks the quiet, initiating a chorus of congratulations from the others. But I didn't join in.

"When was this decided?" I kept my voice flat, preventing my true emotions from shining through. But not bothering to fake excitement.

"Just a while ago." Kira is cheery but there is clear suspicion.

"Kira, can I speak to you in the hallway please?" I shoot her a look before waltzing from the room without a reply.

I waited for a short time in the hallway with impatience, bouncing my leg up and down.

"Stiles, what's up?" She shuts the door quietly behind her.

"It's a bit of a rash decision don't you think?" I snap her head jolting backwards in surprise.

"I love him."

"Oh okay, so you're just going to drop everyone you love and everything you've made for yourself here, just because some boy decides he loves you now."

"It's not just some boy, Stiles! It's Scott! Your best friend and the man I love!"

We're whisper shouting at this point.

"My family, your family and I have done so much for you, and you're just going to leave us all behind for him? The man who left you, the woman he supposedly loved, without even a second thought."

"That's not fair, Stiles. Did you expect me to stay in this town my whole life?"

I huffed in anger, not having a response. I didn't expect that of her but this was all so sudden.

"Did Ena agree?"

"Yes, Scott spoke to her and she's very excited."

"She's too young to understand what it all means! But of course Scott could talk her into it."

"Why can't you just be happy for us?"

"Because you haven't even thought about this!"

"That's the point of love! You don't have to think about it."

Her words were true but they just fuelled my fire of anger. She was just going to leave.

We held a stare, hers begging for my blessing and mine begging for her to stay.

Scott opens the door, stepping uninvited into our little world.

"Is everything okay?" His voice holds concern, sarcastic concern of course.

"Oh of course, Scott McCall to the rescue." I rolled my eyes without even an inch of guilt about the rudeness I showed to my best friends.

"Stiles stop." Kira pleaded, gripping to Scott's arm for strength and support.

"Unbelievable." I mumbled before storming past the sickening couple, purposely bumping shoulders with Kira.

I was done.
