*1 year Later*

It's been a full year since I've seen the Teen Wolf cast. I miss them more than you'd ever guess. Recently I was invited, along with the rest of the cast, to a convention in Paris, France and we were going to do a panel and then the meet and greets and group photos and such. I was very excited to see my second family again.

Since then I have gotten roles in the tv show Supernatural, and have recently been cast as the lead's best friend in a new Netflix movie called "To All The Boys I've Loved Before" and I couldn't wait to tell everyone.

I landed in Paris and made my way to my hotel room, which we're all on the same level as the other cast members.

Not even 5 minutes after I put my suitcase on the bed, there was a knock on my door. I looked through the peep-hole and saw the entires cast there. I opened the door and was immediately swarmed with hugs.

"Y/n! We missed you!" They exclaimed. "I missed you guys too." I smiled and hugged everyone. Once I got to the last person, I realized that someone was missing.

"Hey, where's Cody?" I asked.

"We thought it would be best if you guys talked alone. We'll go get him." Holland smiled, leading everyone out of the room.

I looked in the mirror and took a deep breath. As soon as I heard a knock on the door, my heart began to race. Once the door was opened, I smiled.

"Cody," I said.

"Hey." He said, coming into my room.

"Wow, you've...changed," Cody said, eyeing me.

"So have you," I said back. Since the last time I saw Cody, I lost 30 pounds. I realized I wasn't happy with myself so I decided to make a change.

"How have you been?" He asked.

"Good, good. How about you?" I asked. I knew he had a new girlfriend, I just wanted to see if he would tell me about her.

"Good. I actually have been seeing this girl." He said, smiling. 'I wonder if he ever smiled like that when he talked about me' I wondered.

"Oh really? That's great." I smiled, fake obviously. I still loved Cody but he clearly didn't have any feelings for me anymore.

"How about you? Any special guys?" He asked.

"Oh, no. I-uh-I've been focusing more on myself I guess. I'm really the only person I can depend on." I said, but it came out more snarky than I meant it and it registered on Cody's face.

"N-no I-I didn't mean it like that. I just, I was the only one that could control my happiness within myself that's all." I said, realizing that I sounded like an ass.

"It's okay, I get it..."he trailed off.

"But since you got me thinking, can I ask you something?" He questioned.

"Anything." I responded.

"Why did you leave the way you did? Like, why didn't you let me explain." He asked.

Nothing could have prepared me for that question. I thought he was going to ask me about the scene or-or something other than that. But he asked the one question I'd been dreading since I got the invite to be here.

Tears began to form in my eyes as I thought about that day. Our scene turned to reality and it hurt like hell to think about, even a year later.

"I-I don't know why exactly I left the way that I did. I have never not let anyone explain themselves but with you-I guess I thought you didn't deserve it. You had plenty of opportunities to talk to me and you still kept it from me..."I began. I stood from my spot and began walking around. A habit I had to stop myself from crying.

"Cody I-I don't think we should talk about this. At least not right now." I said.

"Why not? We never got to talk it out, so let's talk it out now...please." He asked.

"Cody,"

"Please y/n, just-just please talk to me about what happened." He begged. I saw the same look in his eyes he had right before I left him standing in my trailer.

"I-fine." I said, sitting down next to him.

"What exactly did you see in my phone?" He asked.

"I saw nudes from other girls and you texting back heart eyes. That's what I saw Cody." I said. This was already beginning to be too much for me.

"Why do you even care Cody? You're happy with someone else." I said. "I only said I was with someone else to make you jealous..." He admitted.

"Why would you lie? See, this is why I can't trust you Cody. You lie about everything." I said.

"Would you think I was lying if I told you I loved you and that I never stopped."

"You stopped loving me when you asked those girls for nudes." I said.

"That's not true. I never asked for them. I don't even remember sending half those heart eyes if I'm being honest. I was drunk and I thought they were you." He said.

"Cody don't bullshit me. You had seen me naked before and you would know the difference." I said.

"Either way, I'm sorry. I have changed. I am not the same person I used to be. I don't want to be a player anymore. I want to find someone to settle down with." He said.

"Cody-I" I started but then he cut me off.

"Kiss me then, and tell me that you don't feel the same way I do." He said.

"Cody I can't kiss you."

"Why not?" He asked.

"Because I,"

"Because you what, y/n?" He asked, stepping closer to me.

"Because I know I won't be able to walk away from you again." I said.

He just looked at me and didn't say anything.

"I can't walk away from you again. I know I won't be able to if I kiss you. I missed you so damn much this past year and I busted my ass to look good for this moment when I finally saw you again. Praying to god that I was finally enough." I said.

"You were always enough y/n."

"Clearly I wasn't if you had to get nudes from someone else." I said.

"Y/n, you were always enough. You were never second best. You were never not good enough. You were my perfect woman. I loved you with every beat of my heart but I fucked up. I can't take that back. If I could I would. But I loved you then and I still love you now." He said.

My heart was beating a million miles a minute and I wanted so badly to kiss him. I wanted to be in his arms again and feel his soft lips on mine. But I couldn't cave in so easily.

"I don't know Cody.."

"Please, y/n. Just-just kiss me and then you can tell me how much you want me to leave. I just need to see if I still have feelings for you." He begged.

"Fine.." I said.

He came towards me and pulled my face towards his and put his lips on mine.

It felt the same as it did a year ago. He went to pull away but I held him there with my hands around his neck. I couldn't help myself. I love him and I wanted nothing more than to kiss him.

"I'll take that as you forgiving me?" He asked.

"You have a lot of making up to do Cody. I'm serious. You're gonna have to earn my trust again." I told him.

If we were gonna try this again, there were gonna be rules.

"Okay, I promise. I will make it all up to you and I will never ever hurt you again." He smiled.

Even after a year, our sparks till flew.
