Stiles's Pov

Today is Friday.

Today is the day my friends, my boyfriend and I leave for our trip to Bora Bora.

After getting my schoolwork done, making sure I didn't forget about one single assignment, I finished packing the last items I needed.

Once that was done I had taken a quick shower before getting dressed.

I made sure I had everything before leaving my room with my suitcase and my bag.

My suitcase had everything I needed while my bag had some books, my laptop and my chargers.

As I headed downstairs I saw dad waiting for me. He smiled when he saw me and I smiled back at him.

"Hey, pops" I greeted him once I got down the last stair steps.

"Hey, mischief. Do you have everything?" Dad asked.

"Yup. I made sure to double check" I nodded.

"Good. I don't want you coming back here because you forgot something" Dad said.

"Don't worry I didn't" I told him.

"Good. So, when are the others coming to pick you up?" Dad asked.

"Well our flight is at 10pm so they're coming to pick me up at 7pm. The drive is going to be long and we want to get a few snacks and drinks before boarding our plane" I told him.

"And right now it's 6:35pm so they should be on their way" Dad said.

I nodded.

"Are you excited?" Dad asked.

"Of course I am. I've never been to Bora Bora and I'm excited to go and have fun with my friends and my boyfriend" I smiled.

I can't wait for all the fun things we're going to do in Bora Bora.

Something tells me we're going to have lots of fun we'll never want to leave.

And, honestly, I'm going to be sad when we do have to leave.

"That's good. You kids deserve to go out and have fun. After all Beacon Hills is anything but fun" Dad chuckled.

"True. Another reason I'm glad to leave is because I need to get away from here" I chuckled.

A week away from Beacon Hills is something I desperately need.

I need to get away from the supernatural drama especially now that I'm no longer involved in it.

As bad as I feel for the others, the ones I'm still friends with even if they're still in the pack, this is something I need.

This is something I deserve.

I need a break from Beacon Hills and, of course, Scott and Derek.

"I agree. Even if I'm still nervous about you going to another country I know that you'll be safe with your friends and boyfriend" Dad said.

"Don't worry, dad. Luke and the others will take care of me. But you also have to know that I can take care of myself" I said.

"I know. As long as you have your bat with you then you're fine" Dad chuckled.

"I always carry it with me" I chuckled.

It's true.

I always carry my baseball bat with me no matter what.

I need to protect myself and while I'm not the best when it comes to fighting I can still use things to protect myself.

My bat is the main one.

"Just please don't get in trouble because of it. We don't need a repeat of last year" Dad sternly said.

"Oh come on. That was a mistake" I huffed.

"I don't care if it was or wasn't, it doesn't change the fact that you headbutted a man with the end of your bat and nearly beat him with it because you thought he was a pervert" Dad reminded me.

"He was looking at me weirdly" I argued.

"Because you had toilet paper sticking out of your pants and he was confused and thought you were unaware of it" Dad argued back.

"Well...I didn't know that" I defended weakly.

I'm just glad the guy didn't press any charges.

If anything he was amused and impressed by what I had done.

Still, I feel bad that I hurt him and nearly beat him with my bat over a misunderstanding.

Dad had been in the right to ground me for two weeks after that.

"Just please don't get yourself in trouble. I'd hate for your friends or Luke to have to bail you out" Dad sighed.

"I won't" I sighed.

"Good" Dad nodded.

Just then a loud honk from outside was heard and I smiled.

They were here.

It was time for me to go.

"Well, guess that's them" I told my dad.

"I guess so" Dad nodded, a small smile on my face.

I grabbed my bag while dad grabbed my suitcase and we walked out of the house.

We spotted Luke's car in front of our house and I could see Luke and Jake in the front while Olivia and June were in the back.

Luke and Jake came out of the car and walked over to us.

I smiled at the two of them as I extended my arms out for my boyfriend.

Luke grinned and once he was close he engulfed me in a hug. I laughed and hugged him back.

"Hey, love" Luke greeted me.

"Hey, Lu" I greeted him, kissing his cheek.

Lu is a nickname I came up for him.

Short for Luke.

I pulled back in order to look at his reaction, worried he might not like the nickname, but was relieved when I saw him still grinning.

Looks like he was fine with it.

Good because I intend to call him that from now on.

When we broke away from our hug I greeted Jake with a quick hug while Luke shook hands with my dad.

Jake shook hands with my dad when we pulled away from our hug and took my suitcase with him.

"Hurry and say your goodbyes. We want to get going before traffic gets bad" Jake said.

"Sure thing" I nodded.

Jake smiled and said goodbye to my dad and my dad said goodbye and watched as Jake walked back to the car.

Dad and I looked at each other before we embraced each other tightly.

"I'm going to miss you, mischief" Dad whispered.

"I'm going to miss you too, dad" I whispered.

We might be dramatic seeing as we're acting like we're never going to see each other again.

I'm not moving away. I'm just going to Bora Bora for a week then I'll be back.

But it's the first time I'm going somewhere without my dad and it's going to be for a week, that's quite some time.

And I'm worried he's not going to be fine on his own despite being an adult.

Sure, Peter promised to watch after him as well as my friends but I still worry for him.

Beacon Hills isn't a safe town.

But there's nothing I can do now other than hope for the best and hope that my dad will be safe.

We pulled away from our hug with dad placing his hands on my shoulder.

"Text me as soon as you and the others land in Bora Bora" Dad said.

"I will" I nodded.

"Call and text as much as you can. Have fun, be safe and stay out of trouble" Dad said.

"I will" I nodded.

Dad looked at Luke which made Luke look at him.

"Please take care of him" Dad sternly said.

"I will. He's in good hands" Luke said.

"If anything happens to my son..." Dad trailed off, his tone showing how worried he was.

"Mr. Stilinski, nothing is going to happen to Stiles. Not on my watch. You have my word" Luke sternly said.

His words and how genuine he sounded made my heart flutter.

My dad's eyes widened a little at his words before they softened and a small smile of approval appeared on his face.

"Good" Dad nodded.

With that the three of us walked over to the car. Dad wanted to say goodbye to all of us before we left.

When we got to the car Luke opened the passenger door for me and I thanked him before getting inside.

Luke closed the door and went to get into the driver seat. I looked in the back to see my friends sitting together.

"Hey, girls" I greeted the two that I didn't as I only greeted Luke and Jake.

"Hey, Stiles" Olivia and June greeted me.

When Luke got into the drivers seat, closing the door, he rolled the windows down so my dad could say goodbye to all of us.

"Hey, girls" Dad greeted my friends.

"Hey, Mr. Stilinski" Olivia and June greeted him.

"Now, you kids have fun but please be safe" Dad sternly said.

"Don't worry, Mr. Stilinski. We're going to be just fine" Jake reassured him.

"Yes, we will. We're all capable of taking care of ourselves and each other" June added with a smile on her face.

"We'll be back before you know it" Olivia finished with a small smile on her face.

Dad smiled and nodded, "good".

"Well, we have to get going. I'll see you in a week, dad. And I'll be sure to come back with souvenirs" I smiled.

"Nothing too expensive. I don't want you wasting your money" Dad sternly said.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say" I waved him off.

Dad playfully rolled his eyes at me before leaning in to ruffle my hair which made me laugh and gently smack his hand away.

With that dad stepped back and Luke rolled the windows back up.

Luke started the car while the others and I kept looking at my dad with smiles on our faces.

Dad smiled back at us before bringing his hnd up in order to wave at us.

We smiled and did the same thing just as Luke started driving away.

When dad was no longer in our line of sight we lowered our hands before looking at each other.

Well, Luke made sure to keep his eyes on the road but I can tell he was paying attention to us.

"You guys ready?" Olivia asked with a grin on her face, an arm wrapped around June's waist.

"Hell yeah!" all of us cheered.

Bora Bora, here we come.
