Another Chance | STYDIA (ENG)

6.

Stiles told me everything. His story was the same as what his dad told me. After our conversation, brunet disappeared, said that he would check out what his Barents doing and be back soon. Taking advantage of his absence, I decided to talk to the only person who knew the whole situation. Allison.

After a few minutes, my friend and I were sitting in her room.

"You're right. " She replied when I told her everything. "The case is even more complicated. "

"Allison... What am I supposed to do? How can I help him? " I looked into the eyes of the brunette.

"I have no idea. " She said shaking her head at the same time. "From what you said, his parents aren't the reason he's still on this site, though. Maybe I was right after all. "

"With what? " I asked.

"That you could be the reason. "

"Me? Ho wis that? We just met... The fact that we became friends, but... " Allison looked at me with that meaningful smile of hers, ignoring it, I continued. "He's a friend ... Very close to me. Even though we just met, it seems like I've known him forever. To think that we knew each other in childhood. Eh, I don't know. We have nothing in common, apart from that... "

"Are you sure? " I looked at her.

"What do you mean? "

"Oh, don't pretend anymore. Lyds, how do you talk about him... Normally your eyes sparkle, how much you care about helping him. We haven't been seeing each other in a while because you used to spend that time with him. Of course, I don't blame you for that. " She winked at me.

"Like you and Scott? " I asked.

"Yes. No. Oh no, don't change the subject. "

"Scott! " I yelled, and Allison looked at me with a question mark on her face. "Scott. Stiles's friend. Maybe it's Scott. "

"Genius, there are many people with that name..." She broke off and then continued. "You mean my Scott? "

"Yes, exactly. Maybe your Scott is just that friend of Stiles. Did he mention anything to you? "

"No, but he's been a bit depressed for a long time. I asked him if anything was wrong, but he always said everything was fine. "

"If it's him, then maybe he knows something more, and maybe it's even about him." I said.

"Oh, Lyds. " Brunette sighed. "You keep ignoring it. "

"What am I ignoring? "

"I think you know. I think you know this isn't about Scott at all, it's about you. But you keep denying it. "

There was a few minutes of silence. I started to think about Allison's words. Could it be even about me? The fact that I really cared about him. I cared about Stiles. He became very close to me, I didn't even realize how much.

"Okay. " Allison broke the silence, breaking my thoughts. "Do you want something to drink? Water or maybe something stronger? " I looked at my friend.

"Something stronger? "I asked, smiling slyly at the same time.

"Well, yes..." She replied. "Two teabags of tea, of course, what were you thinking? " Said and I laughed softly.

The rest of the day passed very quickly. I went home and helped Aunt Rose with the dinner. I missed our common conversations very much. Even though some people thought my aunt was crazy, she wasn't. It's true that sometimes her behavior was quite strange, mostly when she was talking to herself, but maybe in their old age people went crazy. And maybe I'll be considered crazy one day. After dinner, I went to take a refreshing shower, wrapped my hair and changed into my pajamas. Stiles didn't show up, which worried me a little. I sat down on the bed and called him. Maybe two minutes had passed, and there was no trace o the boy. So I called him again, and boy was still gone. I became more and more anxious.
