Chapter 53

"Smile in my face,
then put your cig' out on my back."

"You okay?" Stiles asked, jumping into his jeep. He rubbed his head in pain, after passing out when Scott and Max were both getting tattoos. He had warned them that he hated needles. And blood. And when people broke bones. Okay, so he hated most things, but that wasn't his fault!

"It kind of burns," Scott replied, brows furrowed. He'd never gotten a tattoo before, but he was fairly sure it wasn't meant to feel like this.

"Yes, you just had your skin stabbed about 100,000 times with a needle."

"Yeah, but his is like really burning. Mine only stings a bit but his feels like someone's lighting you on fire," Max explained, scratching his arm in irritation. It might have had something to do with the fact that Scott got two bands taking up a quarter of his arm. He had gotten a crystal ball on his ankle, and a lily on his wrist. The lily was because that's Erica's favourite flower. Her and Boyd had been missing for months, and it felt like half of him was gone. All he wanted was to know that the two werewolves were okay. He had also wanted something relating to his seer powers and no one would know what it meant!

"Oh God. No, it's definitely not supposed to feel like this. I'm taking it off!" Scott exclaimed. He ripped the bandage off, despite the protests from the other two. They watched in confusion as the ink slowly faded, leaving no trace that it had been there. "It healed."

Max let out a snicker, shutting up when his cousin sent him a glare.

"Thank God, I hated it," Stiles exhaled. He hadn't wanted to say anything because Scott had desperately wanted the tattoo. He'd saved up all summer for it. He couldn't just crush his best friend's heart like that! He turned the key in the ignition, apologising when Scott stared at him in disgust.

"It's not a triple date!" Lydia argued. Jade and Allison cast glances at each other, smiles playing on their faces. "It's a group thing."

"Do they know it's a group thing?" Jade peeked her head through the middle of the two front seats.

"Yeah, cause I told you that I'm not ready to get back out there," Allison admitted.

"You were in France and didn't do any dating for four months?" Lydia asked, brow raised. She didn't believe that for one second.

"That's what I said!" Jade mumbled through a mouth full of a croissant. She could've thrown a fit out of excitement when Allison took a bunch of them out of her suitcase.

"Did you?" Allison challenged.

"No! Don't even go there," Jade warned. Throughout the whole summer, she'd had to console Lydia, who was a wreck. Jackson moved to London with his parents, and the girl hadn't been taking it well.

"Okay. You wanna know who would wanna be set up on this date? Lilith," Allison spat, rolling her eyes.

When the Argents had came back from France, they'd brought an unexpected visitor with them. Lilith Argent, Kate Argent's daughter. She'd been living in France with her father, but got kicked out, so was currently staying with Chris and his daughter. Well, technically, just Chris for the moment. The brunette had been staying in the McCall house since she got back. To say that the cousins didn't get on was an understatement. They despised each other. Though, that probably had something to do with who Lilith's mother was.

"Then it would be a quadruple date," Lydia noted. She sighed when the girls started chuckling. How else was she meant to get her friend's out! They wouldn't have came if they knew! "Yes, it's a triple date. It's not an orgy. You'll live."
