A/N: Hey people! Sorry I haven't updated lately, I have been sick. Kind of need to be acting sane to write, right? (See what I did there?) So here is the update, Enjoy!
FLASHBACK TO EARLIER TODAY
I don't know why, but Lydia seems to have been avoiding me all day. It probably has something to do with that kiss. I need to find her and ask her about it.
Kind of funny how right as I am thinking about it, she walks down the hallway.
"Hey, Lydia!" I say/yell (she was on the opposite end of the hall, not like she could hear me if I just talked normally). "Wait up!"
As soon as she hears me she turns around and starts walking away from me.
"Wait, Lydia!" I say as I start running after her. "We need to talk!"
I finally manage to catch up after realizing that I am in awful shape. After stopping her, I couldn't manage to say anything without taking a few deep breaths first.
"Why *pant* are you *pant* avoiding *pant* me?" I say, still trying to catch my breath.
"I just think we need to stay apart for a little while." She says softly.
"What? Why?" I ask.
"Do you really need to ask?" she snaps back. "I have a boyfriend and we shouldn't hang out because I don't want to be tempted to kiss you like I did yesterday!"
Suddenly Aiden comes out from around the corner.
"You did what?" he asks. "You cheated on me?"
"Aiden? What are you doing here?" Lydia asks, a look of pure horror on her face.
"I came to give you these." He says while holding out a bouquet of flowers. "It was our 6 month anniversary today. But I guess sense you are so busy kissing Stiles, you forgot. How could you?"
"It was just a moment of weakness. He gave me some good advice and-" she got cut off by Aiden.
"Really? A moment of weakness?" he asks.
"Yes! Really!" she replies.
"Lydia, we are over." Aiden shouts loud enough for everyone to hear. "I still can't believe you cheated on me."
As he stomps away angrily, Lydia turns around and runs away. It looked like she was crying.
"Lydia, wait!" I say.
She turns a corner. I turn the same corner, but when I get around it, she is gone.
30 MINUTES LATER
It took me a while to find her. Seven laps around the school. Looked in all of the classrooms. I finally looked in the right supply closet. I mostly stopped because of the wailing I heard.
"Lydia?" I ask, but with no response. "Lydia, I know you are in there."
"Go away Stiles." She demands.
"Why would I do that?" I ask.
"Because I asked you to." She says, kind of unsure of her response.
"Well, I am staying right here until you open up." I say.
"I guess we will be here a while then." She replies.
"Don't make me start singing." I say.
"What?" she asks.
I clear my throat and start stinging awfully on purpose. I'm talking voice cracking, off-note, off-beat, I-don't-know-the-words awful.
"OK, OK, STOP" she yells. "I'm coming out."
As the door opens, I see her. I still don't understand how she looks beautiful when she cries. When I cry, I look like I am the offspring of a troll and a zombie. But Lydia, Lydia still looks like an angel.
"Lydia?" I say.
"Lydia, hey, come here." I say as I embrace her. "I am so sorry."
"The breakup wasn't even the worst of it." She states.
"What do you mean?" I ask.
"After I ran away, everyone that saw me called me things." She says. "Terrible, Awful, things."
"Lydia, I am so sorry." I say sincerely.
"Stiles, I can't be around you right now." She says.
"Why?" I ask.
"I just can't." She kind-of yells. "I have to get over the fact that it was you that caused all this!"
And at that she walks away. Even though I look in her direction as she leaves, I am too stunned and heartbroken by what she said, that I can't move.
