I Love Him But I Can't (Scallison)

Sisters Before Misters, Right

A week later, Scott and I had been secretly seeing each other. As we got closer, he and Lydia seemed to grow farther apart. Of course, they never made up from their fight so they couldn't work through whatever they fought over, but Scott spent almost all his free time with me. Speaking of which, it was Friday and Scott would be coming over after practice.

"Allison," Lydia says as she walks toward me. "Wanna hangout tonight?"

"Sorry Lyds," I say. "I've got plans for tonight already."

"I do too, but I didn't want to say yes right away. I wanted to pretend that I already did, but now I can tell Stiles that you've cancelled on me."

I laugh and say "Project again?"

"Just hanging out actually."

"You two have been doing that a lot."

Lydia nods and says "Yeah. I really like spending time with him. He's so funny and sweet."

"Well, have fun. I'll see you tomorrow."

"I swapped so you and I are lab partners. I don't want you talking to Scott. I know you two are close but sisters before misters."

She walks away and I walk to my locker, where I find Scott standing next to it. I smile and start opening my locker.

"Hey beautiful," he says. "Did you hear about Chemistry?"

"I'm Lydia's partner," I say. He nods and sighs. "What's wrong?"

"I'm destroying the chances of Lydia and I having a friendship while also destroying your friendship. I feel bad. Even if being with you feels so right. I'm gonna break up with Lydia after I leave your house tonight. Get it over with and then maybe we can ease her into us having a relationship?"

"I don't know how well that would go."

Scott rests the side of his head against the locker and smiles at me. I continue packing and when I finish, he's still looking at me.

"What," I ask with a quick laugh.

He shrugs and says "It's just hard not to look at you."

I wanted to kiss him. I look both ways to make sure no one was paying attention and I kiss him quickly. It's more of a peck than a kiss but it sated me for the time being. Pushing down the urge for me to kiss him just enough so I can last till at least lunch without having his lips on mine again.

Scott smiles and says "I don't know how I'm gonna last without kissing you again till lunch."

"You'll be fine."

"Maybe one more to hold me over?"

I laugh and he kisses me quickly again. He nods and smiles wider.

"Yup, that'll do till lunch. See you at lunch?"

"Actually, no. Lydia doesn't want me talking to you so, it'll probably just be the two of us alone at the table."

Scott sighs and says "Alright. I probably should've seen that coming. I'll see you after school?"

"Definitely."

"Good. I'll meet you after practice."

Classes went by pretty quickly. I got home and finished all my homework before the doorbell rang. I jog down the stairs and throw open the front door to show Scott with a sweet smile.

"Hey," he said. He pulls out a red rose from behind his back. "I hope you don't mind."

I smile and pull him into a kiss. I pull away a minute later, just enough to talk to him. "I don't mind at all. You're so sweet."

Scott kisses me gently and I wrap my arms around his neck, pulling him closer. I needed him closer after not being able to see him at lunch. Scott wrapped his arms around my waist and gently kicked the front door closed. That gave me the chance to press him against the door gently. That gave me an opening to get a better angle so that I was pressed against him. He lifted me by my waist and I wrapped my legs around him. He carried me to my room and slowly laid me on the bed, him coming down after me.

"I missed you," he said when he pulled away slightly. He cups my left cheek and kisses it gently. "Really missed you. It sucks that we didn't have any classes alone after lunch."

I rub my nose against his. "I know how you feel. All I wanted was to have you near me."

"I want that. I want to be able to spend every free moment with you. I want to go to the movies. I want to go to parties together. I just want to be with you."

I pulled him back into a kiss. More passionate than we'd had so far. We only separated so I could take off his shirt and so he could take off mine.

I distantly heard a door click as Scott was kissing my neck but I pushed it to the back of my mind. My parents had gone out for a date night and had called me before Scott got here to tell me that they wouldn't be back till tomorrow afternoon. I pulled his lips back to my own and let out a moan when our lips easily synced.

"Oh my god," Lydia shouted from my right.

Scott and I broke away and turned to see Lydia with tears in her eyes.

"Lydia," I say gently.

She shakes her head and runs out the door. Scott and I both putting our shirts on before trying to chase after her but she was already in her car, driving away by the time we got to the front door.

"Oh my god. I can't believe that just happened," I say.

Scott puts his hands on my shoulders and says "It's ok. We'll fix this. We'll figure it out."

Lydia just saw me kissing Scott. She saw me kissing her boyfriend. My best friend walked into my room and ran away in tears because of me. I hurt her. I betrayed her.

"You need to go," I say. I shake his hands off my shoulders. "You need to go Scott."

"Allison," he said gently.

"No! I need you to leave."

Scott puts his hands up in surrender and starts to walk away. I go back to my room and frown at my reflection. I hurt my best friend all because of a guy. Even if that guy is Scott.
