Chapter4
She couldn't believe what she had just heard. He was in love with her? He wanted to be her lover? She couldn't take her eyes off of him. His brown eyes were filled with desire and he began to lower his lips closer to hers. It would have been so easy for her to just give into the moment and let herself go with him, but this was Stiles. He would want a serious relationship with her, and she was not ready for that.
Despite the overwhelming attraction that she was beginning to feel, Lydia removed Stiles hands and pushed away from him. She stood there speechless looking into his deep brown eyes. "This is all too much for me to handle right now Stiles." She pressed her lips together and went to retrieve her purse. His face fell as disappointment washed over him. He tried to respond but she quickly cut him off. "Can we talk about this some other time?" I just really need to get out of here." Lydia circled her fingers around the door knob.
It had been four long years and they were just now getting to this crucial point in their friendship. He knew that if he let her walk away any hopes he had of them being together would be gone. He moved toward her quickly and slammed his palm against the wooden door forcing it shut. It had not been his intention to scare her, all he wanted was answers. He let out a frustrated sigh and moved his face closer to hers. She gasp and opened her eyes wide with terror. "You're not going to say anything Lydia?!" He snipped at her, frustrated with her silence.
Lydia fought back tears, her eyes darted away from him. He was blocking the door with his arm and she felt trapped. Her stomach was in knots as memories of void Stiles filled her thoughts. She found the courage to place her palms against his chest and push him, trying to move him away. "Let me leave Stiles." He let out a sigh and slowly moved away from the door. She relaxed as her hands found the door knob once again. She narrowed her eyes at him, "We are just friends Stiles. I have no idea what the hell that was about," She pointed over to where they had kissed only moments ago. "But it shouldn't have happened." She slung the door open and she walked away, her blond curls bouncing behind her.
Lydia walked down the hall and into the living room of Stiles house. She saw the Sheriff standing in front of the stove cooking what she assumed was chicken. He rose his hand up and waved at her, "You staying for dinner tonight?" "Not tonight, I was just on my way out. Thank you." She waved goodbye and walked out the door.
It was only when she got into her car that she could fully relax. The look in his eyes had scared her. She had felt trapped. The two of them had never talked about the events that had happened in the Eichen House basement. Where he had held her captive against her will. At the time she knew it really wasn't Stiles, but the Nogitsune. The way that Stiles had scared her made all those familiar memories re surface. Her shaky fingers found her car keys and she started her car. She was backing out of the drive way when she saw his face peeking at her from his window. Even from the road she could see the hurt in his eyes. She refused to make eyes contact and drove away.
She wasn't surprised to find her house empty. She assumed her mom was out. Lydia could hear the wind swirling around the brick house she called home. It was too quiet. She walked to her room and turned her light on. Her eyes glanced over to her bed where a pile of clothes were. Before she left to see Stiles she tried on every outfit she had. Lydia grabbed a shirt out of the pile and changed out of her shorts and blouse. She turned her radio on and turned up the volume. She slung the pile of cloths on the floor, and plumped down onto her bed. She closed her eyes, and finally let the tears escape. She wished that Allison was still alive, she wished that her life was different. Lydia let her emotions take over and she cried herself to sleep.
