Secrets

1.8 lunatic

I ended up losing my baby and breaking up with stiles. Mom and dad let me stay home again tonight and I stay in bed most of the day.

Around 4pm there's a knock on the door and I get up. I open my door and look at Isaac. "Hey, you're, uh, mom let me in. I just came to bring by your homework." He says.

I put my hands in my sweater and step aside letting him into my bedroom. He walks in and places the homework on my desk.

"I'll leave you to it then. Hope you feel better soon." He says avoiding eye contact trying to cover up his busted lip and black eye.

He reaches my door and I turn to him. "Does your dad hit you?" I ask suddenly.

He stops in his tracks and turns to me shocked. He closes my door and takes a few deep breathes. He turns to to me and it looks like he's about to cry and angry at the same time.

"You can't tell anyone. He is the only one I have left." He says.

I shake my head. "I won't." I say walking over to him and placing my hand on his face.

He puts his hand over mine in a reflex and we look at each other. I clear my throat and step back. "I want to sleep a little." I say softly.

He nods and goes to leave. "Thanks." He says softly while I'm already looking at my homework.

I look up and nod at him. "No problem." I say.

He leaves and I do my homework. Around midnight there's a knock on my window and I get out of bed.

I open it and stiles looks at me. "You wanna watch the stars together?" He asks.

I grab a blanket and a sweater. He helps me onto the roof and sits me between his legs. "How was school?" I ask.

"Boring without you." He says holding my hands.

I relax more in his arms and close my eyes. "How are you feeling today?" He asks eventually.

"I don't know." I say softly.

"I've got to go." Stiles says softly moving me forward.

I guess I fell asleep in his arms. "I don't want you to go." I say sleepy.

"I can't stay. Your parents will kill me." He says.

He takes me inside and lays me on the bed.

Stiles lays Alice in the bed and pulls her covers over her. "Sleep. I'll come by tomorrow." He says kissing her head.

She is already half asleep and he walks to the window. "Please don't. Seeing you is like nothing happened. But I just lost a baby and it is because of you." She says already asleep.
