I sat up, gasping for air as I cried out loud. I kept trying to get whatever was on top of me, off of me. I felt like I was drowning, someone was suffocating me until I was snapped back to reality by my dad. I saw him push open my bedroom door, pulling me into his arms as he kept telling me it was a dream.
"Shhh, I got you..I got you. It was a bad dream, it was just a bad dream.." Dad soothed me, holding me close as I kept on crying, trying to catch my breath. I kept letting out short, sharp breaths as I looked all around me. I was in my bedroom. But how did I get here? The last thing I remember... was yelling at Stiles then leaving. Why can't I remember anything else..?
"I'm so sorry I didn't tell you the truth..I just-..I wanted to keep you safe." I heard my dad tell me as I bit my bottom lip to keep the tears inside my eyes. "I-..losing your mother was hard but..losing you was the worst feeling in the world. Thinking I was never going to see you again-..I just..I didn't want you to know. I thought it would keep you safe but..I was wrong. You need to know the truth, you deserve it."
I let out a sharp breath, squeezing my eyes shut. "I-..I understand why you didn't tell me the truth, any of you..You were protecting me like you always have and always will. I'd have done the same, I'd do anything to protect you."
"Shh..get some rest. I'll watch over you, make sure you can get a good nights sleep." Dad told me, tucking me into bed as I closed my eyes. I felt him grab my hand in his own, squeezing it as I opened my eyes to look up at him.
"I love you, dad..I don't know what I'd do if I lost you." I cried.
"I'm not going anywhere..So don't even think about it." Dad reminded me before telling me a story to help me go to bed at night. Which it did. I closed my eyes, slowly drifting off to sleep.

It was almost time for Lydia's birthday party so I was standing in front of my mirror, staring at my reflection. I had chosen an outfit already, just putting on my earrings and any last touches. I slowly smiled to myself, feeling nice but I also had this other feeling. It was like this bad feeling, like I couldn't shake the feeling that something bad was going to happen.
None the less, I shook off this horrible feeling because despite feeling it and wanting nothing more than to convince Lydia to cancel...I couldn't bring myself to. It was like I couldn't stand by and let this party not happen. This party needed to happen, I just didn't know why or what that meant exactly.
I was suddenly pulled from my thoughts as I heard Stiles ringtone going off. I took a deep breath, staring down at his icon picture. I couldn't help but laugh to myself. It was one of our silliest pictures, one of my favorites. And no matter how much I wanted to be angry with him still for lying to me, I didn't want to be fighting with him. It didn't seem right. Not talking to him for only a day and a half is already making me crazy. It's like, you get so used to someone being there that when they're suddenly not...
