The Breakup

- requested by @hollyobrien24 -
(Lydia POV)
It was Sunday night and I was home alone. I stared at my phone, fuming at the text I just received from Stiles. But the text wasn't for me. It was for Malia.
Stiles❤️⚓️😘: I'm on my way over now. I can't wait to see you Malia. It's been too long since we've had just us time😉
He had accidentally sent it in a group message, which means Scott, Kira and Danny saw it as well. I couldn't believe this. How could he cheat on me?
Malia😒: you to babe! See you there😘
Her lack of grammar was noticeable, as all ways.
Scott🐺💙: *too
Kira🌺: wait what?
Now they all knew.
Scott🐺💙: uh Stiles?
Stiles❤️⚓️😘: OH SHOOT
Kira🌺: Stiles wth. Lydia is your girlfriend and she's in this chat
Danny: DO YOU GUYS EVER SHUT UP
Scott🐺💙: holy smokes
Kira🌺: stiles, care to explain?
I remained silent as the messages flooded in. I didn't know what to respond. But thankfully, Kira did.
Stiles❤️⚓️😘: LYDIA ITS NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
Kira🌺: it looks like you're a dirty little cheater
Me: Scott don't say holy smokes ever again
Stiles❤️⚓️😘: LYDIA THERE YOU ARE
Scott🐺💙: sorry fam
Stiles❤️⚓️😘: Lydia speak to me
Me: nah I'm good
Stiles❤️⚓️😘: LYDIA
I quickly removed the emojis from his name. He didn't deserve them.
Me: stiles, I'm not going to fight over text with you like 6th graders. If you want to cheat, go ahead. Except now it won't be considered cheating because you no longer have a girlfriend to cheat on. We're done. Goodnight
I turned off my phone and put it down. How could he? We had been together for two years and now he just threw it all away. I wasn't looking forward to seeing him at school tomorrow. I couldn't face him.
...
When I woke up in the morning and checked my phone, it said I had nineteen missed calls from Stiles. I shrugged it off and got ready. It wouldn't be easy avoiding him at school. I decided to listen to one of his voice messages.
"Baby please forgive me. I was wrong to cheat on you. I'm so sorry. Please answer the phone. We need to work this out. Call me back."
I could hear the sadness in his voice. But I didn't care.
...
I kept my head down most of the day. Whenever Stiles tried to approach me, Kira quickly ushered me away. It was like that all week. Everyday he tried to talk to me, and everyday he blew up my phone with messages. But I had to stay strong.
...
By Friday, I was ready to break down. I couldn't take being away from Stiles. Being broken up made me realize that I can't live without him. That's why, when he came up to me after school on the lacrosse field, I didn't run. I stayed to listen.
"Lydia wait!" He called. I turned around. He seemed surprised that I actually stopped. When he finally reached me, he was out of breath.
"Okay wow you can walk fast in heels." He panted. I crossed my arms.
"What do you want?" I asked cooly.
"Just listen. Lydia I am so-"
I held up a hand.
"I know what you're going to say. That you're sorry, you love me, you'll never do it again, and that you miss me. Right?"
He nodded.
"Yes but-"
I cut him off again.
"You know why I know that Stiles? Because it's every boys excuse. They all say the same thing when they mess up. I've heard it all before. It's the same stupid apology. And once you've heard it for the third or fourth time, you behind to realize that...that they just don't mean it. It may sound sweet in the movies, but in real life, it's the same empty apology over and over again. I have heard what you were going to say about a thousand times, all in different ways. But I'm not content with that. That's not enough. I hate not being with you. But I can't just run into your arms after what you've done. You cheated on me. You weren't happy with me-"
This time, he cut me off.
"Let me stop you right there. I was never happier than when I was with you. But Malia, she was so needy that she made me feel wanted. You, you're confident and independent. Sometimes when I look at you, I can't help but think how much you don't need me. I feel like I'm holding you back. You can accomplish so many great things all on your own. You don't need anyone. Malia needed someone to help her with everything. I guess at the time, that appealed to me. But now that I know what it's like to be without, I never want that again. Lydia, this past week has been hell. I can't stand looking at you and knowing that you're not mine. I need you. Even if you don't need me."
Damn it. He got me. I looked down.
"Well, I've never heard that apology before."
He looked up. I saw tears in his now hopefully eyes.
"Does that mean you forgive-"
I cut him off one last time as I threw my arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. He hesitated for a moment before wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me closer. God I had missed him. When we pulled apart, he kissed me like it was the last time he'd ever see me. I had to face the facts, I was in love with him. And no matter what he does, Ill always be in love with him.
"Do you promise you won't cheat on me ever again?"
He smiled.
"Wouldn't dream of it."
