Erica's POV I begin waking up and turning on my side only to see that stiles isn't laying next to me. I get up and see him walk out his bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist.
"Morning beautiful" he says as I chuckle
"Good morning"
"You hungry I want to take to this little cafe they serve really good food"
"Yeah let's do it"
I jumped out of bed and got ready as stiles waited for me downstairs.
"Erica you almost ready" stiles yells
"Yeah just grabbing my shoes" I say then running down
"Shoot babe can I use a pair of your socks I can't remember which bag I put them in"
"Sure my socks are in the top drawer"
"Okay be right back"
I ran upstairs opening up his drawer and searching for a pair when I came across a little box hiding under his socks. The box had a note folded up that said To Malia and a ribbon wrapped around the whole thing. I removed the note deciding to read it.
My dearest Malia, This ring belongs to you and only you. I can't wait to put it on you someday and spend the rest of my life with you. Yours Truly, Stiles
After reading the note to myself I remove the ribbon and open the box. It was a beautiful ring that I just couldn't believe it.

"Hey did you find the socks" I hear stiles say
I quickly closed the box than shoving it under the socks, but the note was still in my hand that I ended up just shoving it in my pocket.
"Yes I found them sorry I had to find a good pair"
"Okay well you ready"
"Yeah"
||At the cafe|| Stiles POV As me and Erica were sitting at the table I noticed how really quiet she was and she wasn't really eating that it had me wondering if I done something wrong.
"Erica is everything okay"
"What" she says after a few seconds of zoning out
"Yeah I'm fine I just I'm sorry I'm not feeling well can we just go back home I hate to ruin this the food is really good though"
"No it's fine we can go maybe we can come back another time when you're feeling better"
10mins later We arrive back to the house and she hasn't said a word to me.
"I'm gonna get some water" Erica says
"Okay I'm gonna head upstairs and unpack some more"
I go upstairs entering my room grabbing onto my suitcase and laying it on the bed. I unzip the small pocket taking out some of my socks. As I went to put them away I noticed that Erica left the drawer opened but then I realized something..... the ring. I dropped all my socks on the floor and opened it all the way going through to find the box. When I found it the note wasn't there.
"What you doing" Erica asks
"Uh nothing just trying to look for something"
"You mean this" she says as I turn around to see her holding the note
"Erica please I can explain"
"No you don't have to"
"Yes I do just sit please" I ask her and she sat on the bed
"Why.... you never talk about her or about what happened so there's no point in explaining this to me"
"Just please wait Okay"
"Fine"
"That ring was my mother's before she passed away a couple years ago and well my dad gave it to me to give to Malia so she does know about it and has seen it, but I didn't propose because we wanted to wait till after she graduated college because she had gotten into duke university and I didn't get into my college that I wanted to so we made a promise that the ring would stay with me til she got back until I had gotten accepted by scouts for duke to play lacrosse"
"Wait so Malia goes to duke as well"
"Yeah she plays volleyball"
"So do you ever see her on campus"
"Once in a while but no not really because she's in a different department plus her dorm room is all the way around the other side of the school across campus"
"Wait so how long were you with her for?"
"About four years ever since we were sophomores in high school but as most people who we went to high school with prefer us as high school sweethearts"
"So let me guess you and your friends were like the most popular in high school"
"Yeah a little bit I mean I guess you could say that I mean Malia was the most popular girl who played volleyball and that almost every boy wanted her"
"But couldn't cause of you..... right?"
"Yeah but it also went the same way for me and Scott you know the most popular also most popular for lacrosse known as the jocks"
"Wow how is any girl suppose to compete with that"
"Hey listen I would never try and compare you to Malia I promise and neither will anybody else trust Malia's a good person you'll really like her but you have to know Malia was everything to me not only that she was family so just please try and understand and please don't hate me for saying this but my love for her won't ever go away.... ever"
"I get it trust me I don't want problems but it's just hard I mean come on high school sweethearts"
"Yeah I know but that was high school plus I'm with you and I do love you"
"I love you too" I tell him as he kissed me on my forehead
