VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE READ!

Hi everyone okay so I've had a lot of trouble with this story. I thought about stopping it but with so many loyal readers I didn't want to do that. Now as I've had the end of this story written for a long time but a lot of difficulty getting there I decided to give you guys the end with a bit of a time jump. I hope you enjoy this ending. I'm sorry I've had to end it sooner than I thought but I just found myself struggling with this story. I will be continuing my other two stories and with this one finished it's given me more time to focus on other projects to come. I hope you enjoy this ending.

Erin's POV

The last few weeks had passed by in a blur and now Matt Daehler was dead. How do I know this? Because I showed his spirit across to the other side. It wasn't the nicest pass over I've ever encountered but when I learnt that Matt had been the one controlling Jackson I didn't feel so bad. Things have been bad with Stiles too. Mainly because I think he's realised I've been keeping something from him but I don't know how to tell him. I just want things to stay as good as they can be between us.

I met up with Noah outside the school ready to go see the final lacrosse game of the season. We found Stiles outside the locker rooms. I smiled at him. "Hey, I just came to wish you good luck." I kissed him softly.

Stiles grinned. "Thanks but I don't think I'll get to play cause… You know I never play."

"Well maybe tonight will be different." I bit my lip. "I love you."

"I love you too." Stiles frowned. "Are you okay?"

I nodded. "Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. Kill it out there. I'll be the one cheering extra loudly from the stands." I gave him a tight hug and then dragged Noah away.

Noah turned to me in shock. "You haven't told him yet, have you?"

I shook my head. "I can't." I pulled a letter out of my pocket. "After it happens… Will you give him this?" I asked him.

Noah took the letter. "This is the cowards way out."

"Then I'm a coward." I sniffed. "Please."

"Okay." Noah hugged me tightly. "Your the best friend I've ever had." He told me.

As I took my seat next to the Sheriff I cast my mind back to the conversation I'd had with my mum earlier that day.

"Mum…" I stepped into the kitchen. "Can I talk to you?"

Mum looked up at me with a smile. "Sure kiddo, what's wrong?"

"Mum… It's time." I took her hands. "I'm not sure when exactly but it's soon."

Mum smiled at me and clasped my hands tightly. "I know, I thought we'd run out of time when…"

I tilted my head to the side. "I bargained for a little more time. I love you."

Mum pulled me in for a tight hug. "I love you too my sweet little girl. It's not fair." She shook her head with tears in her eyes.

"I know." I wiped my own eyes. "But it's been a great sixteen years. I'm luckier than I could have ever imagined." I smiled at her. "And I need you to do something for me."

"Anything." Mum replied.

"Be happy."

Mum nodded. "It'll be hard but I'll do my best."

"Thanks mum… For everything. I love you." I hugged her again.

"I love you too, so much." Mum held onto me.

I snapped out of my memory when John groaned next to me. "Oh no, why is my son running onto the field?"

"Maybe because he's on the team?" Melissa suggested.

"My son is on the team. My son is on the team!" John exclaimed rising to his feet causing people nearby to turn and look at him. John cleared his throat and sat back down. I watched the game with bated breath and then Stiles had the ball and he was running. He stopped at the goal and looked between the goal and the hoard of opposing team members running towards him.

"Shoot it." I cried out along with the other.

Everyone watched as Stiles turned and shot the ball, scoring a goal. I cheered with everyone else as Stiles scored again and again. With seconds left Stiles got the ball again and scored the winning goal just before the buzzer sounded.

Noah glanced at me.

I smiled. "I gotta go." I squeezed his hand.

Noah nodded.

I stood up and left the stands, heading around to the car park. I got in my car and drove off to the top of Beacon Hill. I sat under a tree and looked up at the sky. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath and then my phone sounded in my bag.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Erin. Is Stiles with you?" John asked down the phone.

I shook my head. "No I thought he was with you."

"He's missing."

I wiped my eyes. "Oh my god. Okay I'll erm… I'll come help you look for him." I stood up.

"It's okay, he just got home. Bye Erin."

"Bye Mr Stilinski." I hung up the phone. That was when my other phone sounded.

Warehouse on Clement Street. One Hour.

Stiles's POV

I watched Erin walk over to Gerard who was on the ground with black stuff dripping from his ears, nose and mouth. Gerard glared at her.

"You're not taking me yet reaper." Gerard snarled.

Before anyone could move a loud bang echoed through the warehouse. It was like time slowed down and I watched Erin clutch at her stomach doubling over, then she was on her knee and blood was spilling from her mouth.

I don't know what I screamed in that moment. I think it was her name, I knew I had to get to her and in a moment I was by her side holding her in my arms.

"No, no, no. Erin, Erin stay with me." I pleaded. "You can't leave me."

"Shhh. It's okay." Erin gasped, smiling up at me. "I knew this was coming, it's my time."

I shook my head frantically. "No, okay you listen to me. Derek can save you. He can… He can give you the bite." I turned to look at the sourwolf.

"Stiles…" Derek shook his head.

"No, okay I've never asked anyone for anything. I've helped all of you. Now you can do this. You can save her." I pleaded, I didn't care that I was crying.

Erin's hand grabbed mine. "It's… No use." She told him. "I'm sorry… Should have… told you… It's my time… But it's okay. I'm gonna see my dad again." Erin had tears in her eyes. "I love you."

I swallowed back the tears. "I love you too. That's why you gotta stay with me okay? You just… You can't die." I shook my head.

Erin gave me a weak smile and looked around her. "Friends… I didn't think I'd ever those again… I'm glad… I'm glad I'm not alone…" She turned and looked up at me. "I'm glad I met you Stiles… Stilinski… I love you…" Her eyes fluttered closed and she let out one last shaking breath.

I looked down at her and then turned and glared at Gerard.

"Stiles, no." Scott pulled me back.

"He killed her Scott. She was an innocent and he…" I shouted fighting him to let me get to him. "I'm gonna kill him. I'm gonna make him wish he'd never…"

"That's not what she'd want man." Scott told him.

Gerard grinned.

"I'm gonna kill you." Stiles screamed at him, I broke free from Scott's grip and grabbed the gun from the ground and pointed it at Gerard's head.

"Stiles, no." Scott called to me. "You're doing what he wants. Erin wouldn't want you to become a murderer. He's going to suffer for this. Look at him."

I looked down at Gerard with tears in my eyes. "Burn in hell." I dropped the gun and walked away.

The funeral was on Monday. We all went and watched her being lowered into the ground. It wasn't fair, she shouldn't have had to die. Afterwards Noah walked over to me. "Stiles…"

"Hey." I nodded at him.

"Listen er… Erin she… She wanted me to give you this." Noah held out an envelope.

I took it. "She knew didn't she?"

Noah nodded. "Yeah. Just… Read it?"

I nodded. "Thanks." I got up and headed for my Jeep. I drove home and sat down on my bed. I pulled out the letter and opened it.

Dear Stiles,

I'm sorry I didn't have the courage to tell you all this in person. I guess I should start with how I really became a Grim Reaper. As you know my dad was a Reaper before me and when he died in a car accident I became a reaper in his place. But there's a key element missing from the story. You have to be dead to be a Grim Reaper. I was in the car when it crashed but I was given another chance to be death's servant to take my dad's place. I've always known I had a limited amount of time on my hands and that's why I pushed people away. I knew one day I would die and it wouldn't be in seventy years like a lot of people it would be a couple of years. So I want to thank you for taking away my fear of living, for giving me a chance at true happiness and I'm so sorry for leaving you, if I could have had more time I never would have done so.

You showed me how to live and I will forever be greatful for that. Thank you for making me Somebody's Girl. Your Girl.

Don't stop living Stiles.

All my love

Erin x

Fifteen Years Later…

"Mummy?"

Lydia looked down at her little girl. "Yes sweetie?"

"Why is daddy so sad today?"

Lydia looked out the window at her husband in the garden. Stiles always retreated into himself on this particular day. She turned back to their son. "Well you see, long ago, your daddy had this friend. She was very special but one day she went away to a place she couldn't come back from and that day was today. So today your daddy gets a little sad because he misses her."

"What was her name?"

"Her name was Erin."

"Like me?"

Lydia smiled. "Yes like you."
