The Beauty of Rose // Stiles Stilinski Fanfiction

The Confrontation

I back away from the bed to stand up. He lands on my bed and closes the window behind him,then he just sits there,looking at me with a soft expression. It's only been a day and I can't tell you how much I've missed his face. My heart is beating really fast,I can hear it in my ears. Then he speaks. "Hi." I stare at him for a second and answer. "Hi." Only then I realize that my door is still open. I turn around and walk to the door to close it. When it's closed,I walk to the desk and turn the chair around so I can look at Stiles,now he's almost right in front of me. I can't take my eyes off him. He looks like he's about to say something but then doesn't. "What's going on Stiles?" I finally ask him. I'm a little scared,and a lot nervous. I think this is the time I have to say something to him about my feelings. He looks me in the eyes but can't hold the stare,soon he's looking at the floor. He's rubbing his hands together and looks nervous too. "I'm sorry for kissing you." He finally says. 

"I'm sorry. I know that it was stupid and I shouldn't have walked away like that." Then he looks me in the eyes again,I can see that he's a little uncomfortable and his face is getting red. All I want to do is go to him and kiss him,but I can't. Instead I sit there and listen to him. I have so many questions. SO MANY. "Why'd you do it then? Why'd you kiss me?" I ask him. He licks his lips,like he always does when he's nervous. "Um..This girl,Lydia..Um..She and I have...had this thing,we are nothing anymore. She has a boyfriend." He swallows and continues,"Anyway,I though that she would break up with him,so that we could be together. But a few hours before that party,I found out that she didn't do it,and she told me that we can't be together,because she loves Jackson. I mean,the day before that,she told me that she loved me. So of course I got mad at her." He's starting to talk louder,I can hear the anger,hurt and jealousy in his voice. I feel a lump in my throat,I didn't know that he's been in love with someone,not since Derek. I wish I'd known. I miss some words that he's saying before I can fully hear him again "- and I wanted to go to the party,kiss you,or anyone in front of her,so she could feel how much it hurts." He pauses and plays with his shirtsleeve. "I wanted her to feel the pain and jealousy that I felt, when I looked at her, and saw that she's with someone else." I stare at him,my heart hurting. I haven't seen him this heartbroken for a long time and the fact that he's in love with Lydia hurts like hell too.

This is definitely not the time to tell him I feel about him. It'll have to wait. I get up and go sit right next to Stiles. "Hey,it's gonna be okay." I tell him and gently touch his face so he'll look at me. His eyes are watery and his hands are shaking a little. I take his hand and lock our fingers together. I don't care if this looks weird,he probably somehow already knows that I like him. He's looking at me,a tear falls down his cheek,then he pulls his hand away from mine and suddenly his arms are around me. I'm a little surprised,so it takes me a few second before I hug him back,feeling his soft sweater against my arms. I close my eyes and rest my head against his shoulder. He smells really good. "Rose?" he mumbles in my hair. "Hm?" I could hug him forever. "I'm really glad that you're my friend." then my heart breaks in two. Friend? I don't know what I was expecting. We've always been best friends, why would we be something more now? Because he kissed me to make another girl jealous? No. This is all just bullshit. I feel so stupid. I pull away and stand up next to the bed. "Yeah,me too." I say,the sarcasm clear in my voice. Stiles looks at me,confused.

The door opens and Will walks in,a phone is his hand. He looks at me,then Stiles. Stiles is still looking at me all confused,then he turns his gaze towards Will. His eyes shift between me and Stiles again. "Why are you crying?" He asks Stiles. "I'm not crying." Stiles answers. "Whatever,you should have seen your faces when I walked in." We don't say anything,just stare at Will. "What's going on?" he asks us. "Nothing." I say. He nods,looking suspicious and hands me his phone. "Whatever. Dad wants to talk to you,said that you didn't answer him when he tried to call you." He says,then I say okay and Will leaves the room. I look at Stiles,who is staring at the floor. I hear Dad's voice from the phone. He's repeating my name, so I put the phone to my ear. "What now Dad?" "You've been avoiding my phone calls,I wanted to know that you're okay. Is everything okay?" "Stop acting like you care." "I'm not acting! Honey.." I sigh and hang up. I don't want to hear what he has to say. 

"What was that about?" Stiles asks,standing up from the bed. "Nothing. You should leave." I say and walk to the door and open it. "What is going on Rose? Did I do something?" He looks worried,I don't really care. He should have figured it out by now. I want him to leave,so I can be alone. "No. You can leave now." I step away from the door,gesturing him to walk through it. "Rose?" he asks. I shake my head. I can feel the tears starting to come but I fight against them. "Just leave,I'll talk to you on Monday." My voice shakes a little but he just nods,looks me straight in the eyes,worry filling them and then he leaves.
