You're the Light That Guides Me Out (Scallison)

Girl Talk and Plan Making

"Want some company," Lydia asked from my doorway. I nodded and she slowly made her way over to the bed. "How have you been?"

I nodded. "I'm fine. I miss Scott. He comes back tonight."

"Did you talk to him while he was away?"

"Every morning and every night. It's not enough though. I missed feeling his arms around me. Seeing his face on a screen isn't enough. I want him in person." Lydia nods in agreement. "Have you missed Stiles?"

"Of course I have. Lacrosse camp taking away our boyfriends is just cruel."

Cora knocks on my bedroom door. "Do you have enough room for three more?"

I nod and she, Malia, and Erica walk in and make themselves comfortable.

"I miss Boyd," Erica says. "I miss him snoring like a chainsaw."

Cora nods. "I miss Isaac drooling."

Malia then says "I miss Kira burying her head in my back."

"I miss Stiles talking in his sleep."

I sigh. "I miss Scott's arms wrapped tightly around me."

Cora sighs. "Our guys have their annoying moments but we still miss them."

The entire afternoon was spent telling stories about the guys. Cora got a call from her brother so she walked out for a second to take it.

"So," Malia says. "Let's get down to the serious stuff. Like what the hell did you do to turn Scott back into his happy and hopeful self?"

"Wait! Don't start without me." Cora runs in and catapults onto the bed. "Ok. Now you can tell us."

I laugh. "I didn't do anything."

Erica grins. "What did you let Scott do to you? Handcuffs? Toys?"

"None of that. We just...discussed a future together."

Lydia smiles. "What brought that conversation on? Really passionate sex?"

Malia laughs with the girls. "A pregnancy scare?"

The girls laughed and I loved it. Friendships like these are what I'd always dreamt of. I feel like I could trust them all with my life. I guess I already have in a sense.

"Yeah," I said.

They all laughed some more until they saw that I wasn't laughing. Lydia's eyes widen.

"Really?"

I nod. "I was feeling sick and I was late so we thought I could be pregnant. We started talking about names and I suggested the name Melissa for a baby girl. Scott was really excited about it and we just spent the day in each other's arms until the next morning when I had a doctor's appointment."

Erica leans forward. "The doctor said that you weren't?"

"Yeah. Scott and I admitted that we were a little disappointed but we were ok. Scott's very hopeful that we'll have a family in the future."

Cora smiles. "A daughter named after his mother. That's really sweet Allison."

Malia nods. "Your kids would be adorable."
