Eleanor's P.O.V

I ran home that night. It's been a week and I have been avoiding him since. I haven't even told Leena what happened because I told her I'm just not ready to talk about it. I haven't gotten any messages from Stiles or calls. During the week though I texted him that I think we should stop the fake dating relationship. He just left me on read not answering me back but I know he got the memo and so did everyone else at school. I sat where I normally sat at the beginning of the year with Leena. I didn't do too much eating just upset burying myself in my books.

Leena has asked me from time to time if I'm ready to talk about it but I just wasn't at all. I don't know what came over me that night. Whenever I was with Stiles I felt brave, happy, even felt beautiful. I kept telling myself that it's because we just became good friends but it wasn't convincing me one bit. It explained why Stiles has been acting differently whenever Isaac was around how he would get jealous that's why he kissed me and we ended up in his room. Or perhaps he didn't feel anything for me but just went along with it to kiss me back to not make me feel bad.

I curled up in a ball on my bed whimpering softly. Isaac has texted me a few times asking what happened between Stiles and me and asking if I'm okay. I just told him I'm not ready to talk about it and he respected that. At lunch, Isaac and I shared a few glances even though I was on the other side of the lunchroom. When Stiles looked my way I can see in his face how hurt he was. I already felt bad enough for myself with how I just left with no explanation. It was just when we were kissing and he was on top of me while he intertwined our fingers I started listening to my heart telling me I had fallen for him but I didn't want to believe it so I stormed out.

I know he must hate me. It was a mistake thinking this would work without thinking either of us would develop feelings. I don't think either of us saw that as a possibility. After the week passed, I thought back to why I wanted to do this in the first place and it was to be with Isaac and for Stiles to get his best friend back. That's what I kept trying to tell myself I like Isaac I always have- always will but it didn't convince me anymore.

"Eleanor you cannot miss school. You are going to ruin your perfect record remember?" I hear my mother from the hall as I hear her feet strolling to my ajar door.

I wiped my tears away staring at my window as the curtains flew from the wind. I did tell her about Stiles but not that we're fake so I know she's going to think he broke up with me but in reality, I sort of dumped him. I tried to forget about the whole thing but I just was not able to it followed me even in my dreams.

My mother enters my room sighing when she spots my position. A sad girl crawled in a ball in tears staring out the window. "Oh, honey... Look at you your first heartbreak."

"I've had my heart broken before mom," I reminded her sniffling not breaking my gaze at the blue sky.

She sucked her teeth walking to the end of my bed and sitting down. "Come here." I turned to look at her as I sat up placing my head on her lap. My mom started to comb my hair. "I wish you would have given me the chance to meet the boy but you didn't. All I have seen of him is he picking you up to go to a party but from what you have told me he seemed like a good guy Eleanor. What happened you can tell me." She spoke in a soft tone.

I wept before I was able to speak, "would you believe me if I told you that he and I were fake dating to make his best friend who I had a crush on for years jealous so he can finally notice me and we get together." I decided I should tell my mom because I trust her with everything in me. My mom is like my best friend and I really needed someone to talk to- to clear my head. "But I didn't think it'd happen like this." I cried out wiping my tears away.

My mother exhaled rubbing my head, "you like-like him now? Not this best friend of his anymore?"

I shook my head, "I don't know. I still have feelings for his best friend his name is Isaac but Stiles." I whimpered before speaking again, "I just don't know how we ended up like this I didn't think this would happen."
