Little Do You Know

Chapter 7 - You Are Enough

"I need to go and talk to her," Stiles said as Scott just looked at him.

The entire concept of knowing who Lydia was frightened everyone. They just wanted to hide away from everything that seemed to be. They didn't want to think all of that was possible. Stiles Stilinski was now single and all he could think about was Lydia.

"Maybe not. Not now at least. Wait a day or two before you go round barking orders," Scott said.

Lydia woke up finding herself in her bed. She looked around the room, confused as she saw how Derek came in. It felt just like the previous morning, yet, it felt so much worse at the same time. She exhaled as she wanted the universe to swallow her as Derek sat down on her bed.

"You can be lucky that Scott didn't decide to go home and called me. How you feeling?" Derek asked.

"How did I get here?" Lydia asked.

"Stiles brought you, but you passed out in the car. He stayed with you until I came back. He's quite worried about you," Derek said.

"He hates me," Lydia said.

"He broke up with Malia to be there for you yesterday. Don't judge before you know everything," Derek said.

"I think yesterday triggered it all," Lydia said as Derek looked at her.

"What do you mean?" Derek asked.

"I didn't tell him, but when we were tied to one another, I could hear Stiles' heartbeat. I think my powers are getting triggered," Lydia said as Derek exhaled.

"Okay, kid, don't go to school for a few days. Let's get these powers figured out then," Derek said as Lydia just nodded.

A couple days later.

4 days later. It had been four days since anyone had seen Lydia and Stiles was getting worried. He did what Scott told him and stayed back for a while. But now he had enough. He parked the Jeep outside as he saw how Derek came out of the house.

"I know Scott and you said that I should give Lydia space, but I can't do this. I need to see her," Stiles said.

"She's busy transforming. She started to trigger her powers. And she doesn't know what to do," Derek said as Stiles rubbed his hand through his face while looking at Derek.

"Why don't you ask me or even Scott to help? Derek we went through this crap so we'll know how to help her," Stiles said.

"Come and try then. Because I don't know anymore. And Peter isn't here," Derek said as Stiles went into the house.

Stiles looked around the house when Derek pointed to the top of the stairs. While looking at it, he just nodded and went up the stairs. He walked around until he found an open door seeing the strawberry blonde sitting at a desk busy with what he assumed was homework. He saw as she was tired and she was probably frustrated with everything that she must have been feeling.

The sounds were driving Lydia insane and she didn't know what to do about it all. She was avoiding school, avoiding her friends, and avoiding people. She heard someone coming up the stairs, a heart beating at her door, but she didn't want to think about looking up. She couldn't face Derek and she knew that she was messing up more and more.

"Lydia," Stiles said as Lydia looked up.

"Stiles," Lydia said, smiling, as she ran into his arms.

Stiles folded his arms around Lydia's body as she wrapped hers around his neck. Holding her tight against him both could hear the others heartbeat. Stiles exhaled while he felt her breathing deepening as he just held her against him.

"Derek told me what you've been experiencing," Stiles said not letting go of her.

"I don't know what to do about it tho," Lydia said burying her face in Stiles' chest.

"It's going to be okay. I'll help you," Stiles said.

"Why?" Lydia asked as she moved away and looked at Stiles, his arms still holding her steady close to him.

"Why are you helping me after everything I've done to everyone? To Malia. To you," Lydia said as she looked at him.

"Because this isn't my issues. It's Malia's. Besides, even if I wanted to, I couldn't let you go," Stiles said looking into Lydia's emerald, green eyes.

"I don't known how to describe it, it's like... Not wanting to let someone go. So I'm not going to," Stiles said.
