Stella

Today I was heading home to the town I loved. Beacon Hills. The place I grew up, made friends, lost friends, found love and had my heart broken. It's been five years. So much has changed since Senior Year. No encounters with the supernatural, no drama, no murders. Just peace. You're probably wondering what happened to me and Stiles? Well, he and I broke up two years after I caught him in bed, having sex with some girl from his college. Since then, neither of us have spoken to each other. Myself, Lydia and Malia are still best friends and we see each other when we can. Lydia would fly from New York to California and stay with me for a few days and Malia would drive up from Beacon Hills too. We never lost touch. After Senior Year Scott and Lydia dated and they got engaged about six months ago. They are perfect for each other. Malia is dating Theo Raeken. Scott is still Scott. He's now a vet and is planning on opening his own animal clinic in Beacon Hills soon. I couldn't be more proud of him. We are still as close as ever. Me? I went to Stanford and became a Lawyer. Originally it was something I didn't want to do but I came around and I can't picture myself doing anything else. Life is so different since I was in Beacon Hills last and now, I am going back to start the next chapter of my life. I stood in my empty apartment remembering the amazing memories I have made here over the last four years. "Stella it's time to go" my boyfriend Zack walked in. (A/N Zack is Harry Styles). "Coming" I smiled as I walked over to the door and took one last look at my empty apartment before leaving with Zack. We packed up the last of my things. "Stay safe out there in Beacon Hills" Zack smiled. "I'll try my best" I smiled. "Call me when you arrive at your Mom's place" he informed me. I nodded. Zack kissed me. "I love you". "I love you too" I replied. "I'll see you soon" he said. I got into my car and Zack kissed me once more before I drove an hour to Beacon Hills.

I arrived at the all too familiar house I grew up in. I got out of my car and walked up the driveway, smiling. As I reached the front door I pressed my finger on the doorbell and waited for someone to answer. My Mom, Argent and Scott had no idea I was moving back, they think I'm here to visit. I waited a minute before my smiley brother opened the door and hugged me. "Stel". "Hey bro" I smiled and hugged him back."How long you in town for?" he asked. "I'm not sure" I smiled. Scott took me inside and I hugged my Mom, Argent and Lydia. Everyone was so happy to see me. "So how long are you in town for?" Mom asked curious. "Um I'm not sure" I shook my head. "How does forever sound?" I smiled. "you're back in Beacon Hills? Permanently?" Lydia smiled. "Yeah. I'm back for good" I smiled. Lydia hugged me. "It's so good having my best friend back" she laughed a little. "Where are you staying?" his asked. "I got an apartment, in Glendale, I said I'd stop by here before I go move into my new place" I informed them. "Do you want us to help you move in?" Scott asked. "Yeah that would be great" I smiled.

Mom made lunch for us all and we stayed talking for awhile before Scott and Lydia came to my apartment to help me unpack. "How many boxes do one girl need?" Scott asked as he carried three boxed into the kitchen area. "He still doesn't understand how us girl don't pack light" Lydia replied. After we unpacked everything I cracked open a bottle of champagne to celebrate. "Here's to new memories" I said as we clinked our glasses together. "So how is the wedding planning coming along?" I asked. "So far so good" Scott smiled. "Have you guys picked a venue yet?" I questioned. "Not yet. I have a few places in mind" Lydia replied. "More importantly have you got your dress?". "Yes" Lydia smiled big. "Can i see it?" I asked "I have a fitting on Tuesday if you want to come. Malia is coming to try on her bridesmaid dress. I need you to try on your Maid of honour dress" Lydia smiled. "As long as it isn't yellow I'm happy. Yellow isn't a good color on me" I laughed. "Trust me, Yellow is not even an option".

Scott left after awhile to go sort something out at the animal clinic and it was now just me and Lydia. I stood out on my balcony, closed my eyes, took in a deep breath and placed my arms out.

"I haven't felt this much at home in such a long time" I smiled. "I'm glad you're back" Lydia replied. "Me too". "How come Zack didn't come with you?" she asked. "He has a few things to sort out at Stanford" i sighed. "Is everything okay between you two?" she questioned. "Yeah. We're just taking things slow and we are going to see where things take us" I shrugged. "Ya know I haven't seen you this happy since you were with Stiles" she said. Stiles. The one name I hated hearing. "Stel I'm sorry I shouldn't have mentioned his name" she shook her head. "No its okay Lyd". "Scott and I are having a small engagement party tonight at our place. I want you to come" she informed me. "Wouldn't miss it for the world" I smiled and hugged her. "Any particular dress code?" I asked. "No" she shook her head. "Wear whatever you like" she smiled.

When Lydia left I made food, watched some Friends re-runs and then decided to go have a shower. After my shower I got ready. I wore my hair down, I put some simple makeup on and I wore a long sleeved, floor length floral dress, with white flats. I grabbed my purse and left for Scott and Lydia's place.

When I arrived I met with my Mom and Argent and hugged them. There we lots of people here. Then I saw a familiar face. Sheriff Stilinski. I made my way over and said hello. "Stella is that you?" he said. "Guilty" I laughed. He hugged me. "How have you been? How was Stanford?" he asked. "I'm good and Stanford was great" I smiled. I got talking to noah for awhile. "I am so proud of you Stel" he smiled. "I know. I'm sorry I didn't come visit" I shook my head. "No need to apologise. I understand" he replied. I smiled at him. Just then my eyes met with the one person I used to love. Stiles. He was over talking to Scott when our eyes met. He stared at me and I excused myself from Noah and made my way over to Malia on the other side of the room. Theo had his arm draped around her waist. "Everything okay?" Theo asked. "Yeah" I replied. Malia looked at me and followed my gaze over to Stiles. "Go say hi" she said. "No" I shook my head. "Stel, you're back in beacon Hills and he lives here too. You two won't be able to avoid each other for much longer. It doesn't hurt to go say hi" she shrugged. I sighed and walked over to my brother and Stiles. "Hey Stel" Scott side hugged me. I looked at Stiles. "Hey" I said. "Hey" he replied. "How you been?" he asked "Okay" I replied. "Good" he replied. This was awkward. Just then some blond girl walked over and snaked her arms around Stiles's waist. She was beautiful. "Stella this is Jess, Stiles's fiancee" Scott informed me. "Fiancee?" I said shocked. "Yeah" Scott nodded. I introduced myself to her and then I removed myself from the situation. I walked out onto the balcony and held on to the barrier. My breathing becoming unsteady. "Got room for two out here?" I heard a familiar voice ask. I turned around to see my brother standing there. I nodded. Scott walked over and stood next to me, looking out at the view.

"Are you sure you're okay?" he asked. "I'm fine" I lied. "Stel I can tell you're lying. Talk to me" he said. "Its just hard seeing Stiles here" I shrugged. "I know" he sighed. "Did he know I was back?" I asked. "No. Not until he saw you talking to his Dad" Scott informed me. "Stel I know things with the two of you are awkward but you two need to be civil to each other. Especially with the wedding being soon" Scott replied. "You and Lydia aren't getting married for another six months" I looked at him confused. "Before Stiles' wedding" He replied. "When is he getting married?" i asked "In two weeks" he swallowed. I went silent. "Stel?". I walked back inside. Scott followed shortly behind. I walked over to the fridge and poured myself some vodka and coke. Downing it "I thought you weren't a big drinker?"  voice asked. I turned around to see Stiles standing there. "People change" I shrugged. "Stella can we talk?" he asked. "Talk? About what exactly?" I snapped. "Look Stel I know you hate me. And you have every right too. I'm not asking for forgiveness or anything. All I'm asking for is that we be civil with one another. Just try to get along. I know it's what Scott wants" he said. "Did Scott have the same talk with you too?" I questioned. Stiles nodded. I sighed. "Don't blame me if I go all crazy and kill you" I suggested. "You won't be blamed" he informed me. "Good" I replied as I poured myself another drink and walked away. I made my way into the living room where no one was and sat down on the sofa. Seeing Stiles here, talking to him, made me want to rip his eye balls out and feed them to Derek Hale. I just hope we can get along and I don't regret coming back here to Beacon Hills.
