LOVERS ROCK

chapter eleven ; formality
[ season one - episode eleven ]

Tears stained the girl's face as she stepped into her home, unsure if that was what she should be calling it anymore. It certainly didn't feel like one. It was supposed to be full of warmth and love, a place where families talked to one another, where they didn't keep life-altering secrets. It was a description her house didn't fit. Her father did have a life-altering secret, one that jeopardized her best friend's life. Perhaps her house never fit into the idea of a loving home, she wasn't sure how long he had been a hunter, perhaps her whole life, maybe everything she knew was a lie, it didn't seem to come hard to her dad.

Honey slammed the front door behind her, alerting her father of her presence as the man jolted upright on the sofa he'd lounged on for hours, waiting for his daughter to come home, or for her to text him to say that she was staying with the Stilinski's. Whatever he expected it wasn't that it would be edging onto midnight when she returned, that she would come in like a storm. With a furrowed brow he walked into the foyer, wondering who or what had put his daughter in a bad mood this time, they seemed to be frequent lately.

"Hey, Kiddo, where you been-" The man began to speak as he turned the corner, seeing Honey halfway up the stairs, she turned to him with the expression of a girl who had been hurt, lied to, and deceived, he quickly noticed the tears that had stained her cheeks. "What happened?" The man asked as he began stepping closer to her on the staircase, the blonde girl sitting down with her head buried in her hands. "Did you and Stiles have a fight? Do you want me to talk to him?"

"This is nothing to do with Stiles." Honey snapped at him, her head raised as she looked into the eyes of the man who had caused her this pain. She was speechless, trying to ask him whether it was all true, whether he really had something to do with this, whether this was why he'd hated it when she was with him, not because he thought he was a bad guy who was unfit for his child but because he knew the truth, that it wasn't a normal teenage relationship. "I just- I think I'm finally starting to understand why mom hated this place."

"I thought you liked it here. You've made some great friends. Allison. Scott. Jackson." He listed, a slight nod from the blonde. "I even thought you were starting to move on from you know who. It seemed like he took your mind off of all of that."

"Who?" Honey questioned with a furrowed brow.

"Stiles," Jude answered plainly, believing that the answer was obvious already. "I haven't seen a smile like the one you have when he's around in a long time. He's a good match for you." He said as the blonde's face continued washing over with confusion until the pin finally dropped, Honey quickly disagreed, shutting down the idea before her father could go too far with it. She and the Stilinski boy were friends, just friends, nothing more. "But Sheriff Stilinski said-" He mumbled as the girl's brows raised, wondering what exactly Noah had said to give off that impression. "Even if there is nothing going on with the two of you, which I wouldn't be mad at, you seem happier in Beacon Hills with him and your other friends than you ever did in Louisiana. Just give it a chance to work, things will fall into place and you'll question ever having this conversation. I promise."
