So this is a very short chapter 11. I originally combined it with chapter 10 but I felt it didn't make much sense so I just split it into two chapters.
This chapter is set the same day as the classroom incident.
Once again, please comment/review and give your opinions as usual.
Lydia's POV:
"A great relationship doesn't happen because of the love you had in the beginning, but how well you continue building love until the end."
Lydia Martin knew two things in life that were certain. One, no one in the entire universe could pull off crocs and two, ending a relationship is always easier than starting one.
Breaking up with Aiden was simple. There were no tears, no yelling, and no over dramatic gestures to keep them together. It was easy, painless.
And that's what made is so damn sad.
She really did care about Aiden in all his egotistical ways, just not in the same intense way she cared for Stiles.
With the help of Isaac out of all people, Lydia realized that Stiles was worth taking a chance on.
Stiles was worth all the potential heartbreak.
Together, the two of them had a connection so rare that only a few people in the world could experience it.
Maybe they had always had that connection, maybe it had developed over time, through friendship and kindness and loyalty. Regardless, Lydia was confident she would never really know.
All she knew was that she and Stiles were definitely something worth fighting for.
Stiles was the first guy to make her feel truly beautiful and loved.
And it scared the living hell out of her.
Stiles could easily break her if he wanted to.
He could leave her broken and afraid for a long, long time.
She had never felt this way with Jackson or Aiden.
He had this hold on her heart like no other and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't shake him.
And finally, she realized she didn't want to.
After she ended it with Aiden, Lydia knew what she had to do.
As she walked to her car in the school parking lot, Lydia felt Aiden touch her shoulder.
"You're going to go see him, aren't you?" He said, turning Lydia around. His voice was hollow, a mix of anger and hurt in his eyes.
Lydia held her books tighter to her chest and nodded slowly, knowing immediately who he was referring to.
Stiles.
"It's always been him, hasn't it? It will always be Stiles." Aiden said, crossing his arms over his chest annoyed.
Lydia bit her lip, not wanting to answer the question. Not wanting to admit that the entire time they were together, she was thinking of Stiles.
"I don't get it you know. You could have any guy in this entire school and you choose him. Why?"
"He…He has my heart. He's had my heart for a long time." Lydia whispered bashfully.
Aiden nodded and sighed. He looked down awkwardly at his shoes, his pain evident in his posture.
"I get it. I think I've known for a long time, actually." Aiden looked at Lydia for a moment before continuing "Look, I know you think I'm a bad guy, but I'm really not. I want you to be happy, Lydia."
Lydia looked at him for a moment, unsure.
Aiden smiled a sad smile and shifted his weight nervously.
"Thanks Aiden." She finally said, giving him a soft smile.
Aiden nodded and began walking back towards the school.
Lydia watched him for a moment and smiled sadly.
She stepped into her car and started the engine, looking at Stiles photo on her phone.
Tonight, everything would change.
Tonight, she would finally tell Stiles.
