Another Chance | STYDIA (ENG)

13.

One person is enough to revive the wilderness, and its lack is enough for a great city to seem empty...

It's been a week since I argued with Stiles. I tried calling him but he didn't answer. Today I even went to his house, but Mr. Stilinski said that he wasn't here at the moment, of course I didn't believe him, but I obediently returned to myself.

"Lydia, dinner! " Mom shouted from downstairs.

"I'll eat it later! " I shouted back.

Less than a minute later, my mother stood at the threshold of my room.

"You won't eat later. " She looked at me. Woman clasped her hands together and sighed. "Honey, you have to eat something. "

"But I eat. " I showed the empty paper after the cereal bar.

"Lydia. "

"What? "

"I know what you're going through..." She came up to me. "But you can't starve yourself. "

"Mom, I'm fine. Maybe I eat a little less than usual, but I'm fine. " I looked at woman. "Really. "

"So be it. " She sighed and sat down next to me on the bed. "Did you talk to him? "

"No. " I replied. "He's not at home. "

"What you want to do? "

"I don't know. He doesn't want to talk to me. "

"But you're not gonna let it go? " She asked, raising one eyebrow.

"You know me. " I smiled.

"That's my girl." She said and kissed my forehead. "If you don't want to eat, at least get some sleep, because no offense, but you look terrible. " She added and then left the room, and at the end she only said a short "good night".

She was quite right, I don't remember the last time I slept well. I decided to follow her advice and take a little nap, but I doubted I would do it. However, to my surprise, I did it faster than I thought.

The next day, I made an appointment with Allison at the same coffee shop as last time. As soon as I entered it, I immediately noticed a brunette sitting in our place. She ordered us what she always does: apple pie and orange juice.

"Hey. " She came over and hugged, then sat back down. "Tell me. "

"There is some of it. " I replied sitting down.

I told her about everything, girl listened carefully to what I was saying, and when I finished she blinked several times, then sighed.

"You know..." She began. "If I remember correctly... "

"What? " I asked, and then I took a sip of my juice.

"Scott was supposed to meet him today. " Friend looked at me. "You have to take advantage of this opportunity. "

"And what, am I supposed to just go to him and... "

"Exactly. " She interrupted me.

"I don't know. " I sighed.

"Honey, you love him. " I looked at her. "You're not denying it, are you? "

"I couldn't..." I said in a whisper. "Maybe you're right. "

"Sure I do. " She took a bite of the apple pie and continued. "I won't forestall Scott because he could've forestalled Stiles. " She said, and for a moment thought about the meaning of her speech, as if she had only understood it now.
