Epilogue

A week after everything that happened I decide to talk to Derek before I left for France. I made Stiles drive me to Derek's burned down house. Where we both decided to meet.

 "Are you sure about this?" Stiles asks. We drive down the road to the house. I look at the house as it comes more into view, worry in the pit of my stomach builds. I nod slowly.

"Yes. I have to." I say.

We come to a stop at the house. I unbuckle my seat belt. "I'll be right back." I say softly and I climb out of the jeep and walk up to the house.

I open the door but it looks redder than usual. "Derek?" I call.

"Over here." He calls back and he walks down the stairs. He crosses his arms over his chest as he stands in front of me.

 "I need to tell you something." I say standing in front of him.

"Okay." 

"I'm leaving." I state.

"What?" His eyes get wide like he was hit in the chest with a hammer.

 "I'm going to France for the summer. But I'm coming back." I slowly reach for his hand and I lace my fingers with his.

"I'm gonna miss you." He says trying to lock away his feelings. 

"I'm gonna miss you too." My voice catches. He sits down on the steps and I sit down next to him. I find his hand and I interlock our fingers. I lean my head on his shoulder.

 "I want you to know I'm not gonna date anyone in France. But I'm not gonna make you wait."

He let's out a breath and shakes his head. "You don't have to make me. I will be here when you get back." He replies. 

I take my head off of his shoulder and turn to look at him. "I can't ask you to do that."

"But I'm gonna do it anyway." 

"I need to figure things out, I'm gonna try to forgive you. But I do trust you and I still care about you."

"It'll be okay. I'll be right here when you get back." He runs his thumb across my hand. 

"I almost hurt you. Why are you forgiving me?" I question.

"Because. I care about you. And I deserved everything."

"I care about you too. That's why I don't want you to wait. I promise I'm not gonna be with anybody in France." A small tear falls down my face. "And you didn't deserve what happened." My voice cracks.

He runs his thumb across my cheek, wiping the tears from my face. He gives me a small smile. "I know that you won't be with anyone." 

"Because you can hear my heart beat?" I question cocking my head at him. 

"Because I know you. You're loyal, even if I don't deserve it." I squeeze his hand. He leans in to kiss me and I kiss him back my free hand cupping his face. All the pain, suffering sadness we were both feeling went into the kiss.

He cups my face. After a few minutes I pull back. "I want you to have this." I say. I unhook the clasp on my necklace and put it in his hand. I fold his hand into a fist. "I'll come back for it." I smile.

Derek looks down sadly. "I'm really gonna miss you." He mutters not looking at me.

"I just need to figure things out. Then I'm coming back. I promise." He nods still not meeting my eyes. I take his chin and tilt it up so he's looking at me. I cup his face and pull him into a long but sweet kiss. I pull back.

Then I hug him tightly. "I don't want you to go." He whispers his voice catching.

"I got to go catch my plane." I whisper before I full on start crying.

"Okay." I smile sadly and he wipes the tears that have been falling down my face. 

"I lo-I'm gonna miss you." He mutters.

"I'll miss you too." I kiss his cheek and I slowly unlace my fingers.

"Bye." I smile I stand up and walk away slowly. I turn around for one last look and he's watching me.

I walk back to Stiles jeep and wipe my eyes. Stiles look over at me gives me a small smile then gives my hand a light squeeze.

We pull away from the house, and drive to the airport. When we get there Stiles helps me grab my three suit cases. I hug him tightly. "I'm gonna miss you buddy." 

"I'm gonna miss you too. Watch out for Scott and Derek while I'm gone okay?"

"Sure thing Boss." 

"Make out with Lydia too." I say with a smile. 

"I'm working on that." He says sarcastically. 

"Bye Stiles." 

"Bye Em."

I board the plan and sit next to Allison. I pull out my headphones and book and 3 photos fall out. A picture of me, Scott, Stiles with arms around each other laughing. Stiles was giving me bunny ears. The other of Me, Allison, Lydia making a funny face and eating ice cream. I held two spoons behind Allison's head giving her antlers The other is of me and Derek. He has his arms wrapped around me and I am smiling widely he has his face on my cheek. On the back it says. EA+DH with a heart I smile.

A note falls out of my book. The one Derek gave me in my locker the day of Kate's funeral. Remember the good times
