Sixteen

Stiles

I stood at the train station staring at the board. I was trying to figure out a way to get out of this place. "Stiles" I heard a voice call my name. Not just any voice. Stella's voice. "Stella?" I said looking around. She can't be here. I started walking through the train station searching for Stella. "Stiles" he voice got louder. "Stella" I yelled as I begun pushing through the crowd as an announcement was made. "Stiles" her angelic voice said again. "Stella" I kept pushing through the crows. "When I kissed you that's when it all changed" I heard her voice say. "Baby where are you?" I asked as I couldn't find Stella anywhere. Before anything else could happen there was a gun shot, followed by the sound of people screaming. I ducked down, trying to protect myself. I looked to see where the gun shot came from and I saw a person I never expected to see standing there. My Dad. "Give my son some room" he said as he lowered his gun. "Dad?" I ran to him. "Dad!" My Dad's smile grew as we finally hugged each other after being apart for so long. "Oh I found ya" he whispered. When we pulled apart we looked at one another "I can't believe I found you" he smiled. "Dad" I spoke. "I think I can hear Stella. I think... I think I can get to her. I think she can get us out of here" My Dad went to say something but he was cut off by a light blue-green color flashing. I heard horses neighing allowing us to know that the Ghost Riders were coming. "You need to get out of here, don't worry about me" My Dad said as he started walking away after tapping me on the shoulder. "Wait you're kidding right?" i questioned. "Go find Stella" My Dad instructed. "Yeah and what about you?" i asked. "We'll find each other again" he replied. My Dad turned around and faced the opening of the tunnel, prepared for his show down with the Ghost Riders. "Dad" I said. "Stiles I'll hold 'em back now get the hell outta here" he said.

I didn't hesitate. I didn't like the idea of leaving my Dad. I nodded at him and ran to the the other side of the train station where the tracks were. I jumped off the platform and walked through the dark tunnel where the rift was supposed to be. As I ran closer to it, a big hole that looked like a rift opened up. The light from the centre of it was blinding me. It was radiating so much power that wind was coming through. "The night of my birthday when we kissed" Stella's voice came through once again. I dropped my hand and walked closer to the rift, determined to get to my girl.

"The night of my birthday when we kissed" Not once did my determination waver. "When I kissed him!" I put my left hand up and started pushing toward the rift because the power was so strong. "Stiles. Keep going!" I heard Stella's voice. I closed my eyes, ready for whatever would hit me as I finally jumped through the rift. "I can see you Stiles, Don't stop!"

I jumped up, the lights of the jeep illuminating. I was in the school parking lot. I panted as I realised where I was. I started up the jeep and drove to Scott and Stella's house hoping they'd be there. The back door of the McCall house burst open as I ran inside. "Scott. Stella" I walked to the bottom of the staircase and called out for Scott. I ran up stairs to Stella's room. "Stella, baby!" I opened her bedroom door to see that her normally organised room was messy. Clothes scattered all over the floor, crumbled up balls of paper overflowing the trash can. I walked over to her cork board and noticed something. Pictures, of me and Stella, from childhood to now, pinned up with red string. It made me smile. I remembered the day I told her about what my different colored strings meant. She didn't give up. She was trying to find me. I looked over to Stella's messy bed to find black stains on her pillow cases. The black of her mascara from all the nights she must've cried herself to sleep, because she was missing me.  I sighed at the thought of Stella being so broken. Before I was gone I told her I loved and for the first time I realised that she might actually love me back.

I left Stella's house and headed for the hospital to see if anyone was there. I found Scott and Liam and I helped them fight Mr.Douglas. "Bad guy right I didn't miss read that?" I asked. Scott and I hugged and so did myself and Liam. We fixed somethings at the hospital before heading to the school were the girls were. Mr.Douglas was trying to diverge the two worlds together and we had to try fix this. "We should try divert the train" Scott said as we managed to move the train tracks. We high fived and headed inside. Scott and I split up trying to find Mr.Douglas and trying to stop him. Stiles and I met Mr.Douglas in the hallway and he had pointed a gun at us. A gun that belonged to a Ghost Rider. I closed my eyes. Then my body hit a locker. I grunted and stood up, taking in my surroundings. I was in the boys locker room. I made my way to the door and opened it only to be met with a Ghost Rider. "Scott I can't fight this guy" I shouted hoping Scott would tear this guy apart. He raised his gun and pointed it to my head. I closed my eyes. There was a gun shot but nothing happened to me. I opened my eyes to see the Ghost Rider lying on the floor in a pool of thick, black blood. I heard something drop followed by heeled foot steps running towards me. Stella came into view. Her chest was heaving up and down. She just saved my life.

"I didn't say it back" Stella looked at me. I shook my head and began walking towards her "You don't have to".

The two of us pulled each other in for a passionate kiss. Stella's hands went to my face as mine went to her waist. This was it. This was the moment I knew that the girl I have been in love with my whole life, loved me back. Stella pulled away for a split second so her lungs could fill with air before kissing me again. She wiped a single tear away, that fell down my cheek. Finally I had her and I was never going to let her go.

The kiss was broken, but my forehead rested against hers. I moved my left hand up to her black hair. Stella placed a hand on my cheek and we both looked at each other. "I love you" Stella said. My grip on her hand grew tighter. "I love you, Stel" I replied as tears filled her eyes. A soft sob fell from her mouth. "Why are you crying?" I asked concerned. As I wiped her tears from her eyes. "It was absolute hell without you. I felt like a piece of me was missing" her voice cracked. "The most beautiful part of me was gone and and I couldn't deal with it Stiles" she cried. "Shh" I continued to wipe her tears away. "You won't ever have to deal with that again. I promise you I am never leaving you again" I said. I pulled Stella in for a protective hug. I was so happy she was okay. I was never going to leave the girl I love ever again.

-That night-

After the night we had fighting the Ghost Riders and Mr.Douglas, Stella came back to my house with me. She hugged my Dad and he thanked her for all of her help. I hugged him too, thankful that he was okay. It was over. The Ghost Riders were gone and everything was back to the way it was before. Stella and I walked up to my room and I told her i was going to have a shower and change out of my clothes I had on for three months. I kissed her before I left to go have a shower. When I was finished in the shower, I changed into my clothes before I walked back into my room to see Stella fast asleep on my bed, wearing one of my flannels and a pair of my boxers. I smiled at her and shut the door quietly before crawling into bed beside her. Stella moved in the bed."Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you" I whispered. Stella shook her head and moved closer, snuggling into my chest. "It's fine. I'd rather you wake me up than you not being here at all" she said. I moved my hand and ran my fingers through her hair. Stella hummed in content. "I missed you" she mumbled. "I missed you" I kissed her head. "I love you" I whispered to her. Stella leaned up and kissed me. "I love you too" she smiled before laying back down and cuddling into me. "I can get used to this" I laughed. "Shush you I'm trying to sleep" she laughed a little. "Sorry. You close them pretty brown eyes and get some rest" I kissed her lips and found myself falling asleep with the girl I love.
