Secret Love

__Hushed thoughts__

BEEP BEEP BEEP

Lydia didn't understand what that annoying beeping sound was. But after taking in the smell and trying to remember what happened the night before she knew she was in a hospital. All she really knew at the moment was that she felt like a bus had ran over her repeatedly for the fun of it. When she tried opening her eyes she couldn't. It technically wasn't because she was incapable of ever opening them but because at the moment her eyes felt like they had lead weights resting on them. Lydia could hear footsteps nearing and then the door opened and closed in a quick fashion as if someone was doing something illegal. That's when she heard his voice it was very faint but some how clear. She could hear him pleading for her to wake up, to show him her eyes, but no matter how much she tried to open her eyes or talk nothing happened. Lydia could feel his hand resting over hers and rubbing gentle circles over her skin waiting patiently for her to listen at his pleas.

The door opened and in walked Natalie Martin. Lydia's mom. With one quick glance at Stiles sitting there holding her daughters hand she became furious. Natalie started yelling "Get out!!! This is all your fault! Because of your group my baby girl is laying there." She pointed. Stiles couldn't help the guilty feeling as he thought it over and how it really was his fault that she was laying there. He should have protected her much better. Gripping Lydia's hand a bit harder he bent closer and kissed her knuckles before he let go and got up. Before he left he looked at Natalie and said, "I know you don't like me at the moment. I know you don't like any of us but you can't keep me away from her. No matter what you think I tried my best to protect her." Natalie could tell he was being sincere but he was the trouble that plagued her daughter. Ever since Scott had dated Lydia's best friend Allison Stiles had inserted himself into her daughters life and in a bad way. Natalie now saw that Lydia was better off when she was dating Jackson and didn't associate with either boy. So with a harsh determined look she said, "Stiles, go. Or you're not coming back."

With that Stiles walked out of the room and walked back towards the pack. But before he got to the waiting room where everyone thought he had gone to the bathroom he 'accidentally' bumped into one of the nurses. After a quick apology Stiles assured to hide the stolen key card inside his pocket to come visit her later. Once he got back Stiles noticed Kira and Liam in the waiting room with the pack including Melissa. As Stiles walked towards the group Kira walked towards him and said, "Melissa just told us that once Lydia wakes up she's going to be questioned and that only family can visit her." Kira knew that Stiles still liked Lydia and for some reason she also knew deep down that it was a feeling he would never stop feeling. She could see he was taking in the information she gave him and that in a way it killed him. Kira knew that if the roles were reversed and that was her and Scott she would be devastated. In all honesty Kira didn't know why she did what she did next but she hugged Stiles tightly and said, "she's going to be okay." Stiles gave Kira a small smile and walked over to the rest.

Scott walked back over to where Kira now stood and simply said, "everything's going to be okay." Kira looked into Scotts brown eyes and seriously said,"But is he going to be okay." Scott understood where she was going with the conversation especially as he saw what she was looking at. There siting in a plastic chair with his hands over his mouth was Stiles looking extremely worried with a tired looking Malia laying her head on his shoulder. Turning back to look at his girlfriend Scott just said, "He will be. He's just worried for our friend." Scott knew that Stiles was worried for a friend but one that he felt love for. Lydia was Stiles's first and only love. Scott personally knew you could never forget your first love. He would forever love Allison and she was already gone. Scott just knew by the way Stiles always treated Lydia and looked at her that he was still hopelessly in love. Even though he was Stiles's best friend he would never tell Stiles that he was more then sure that Lydia felt the same. He got the first glimpse of how she felt that day Stiles made the winning goal at their lacrosse game. After that it was just the small gestures they unconsciously did. But if anyone ever asked when he knew for a fact was when Stiles went through the nogitsune possession. Lydia had been so worried and had gone out of her way and mind to find him, and when they had she clung to him as if he were her life line. Scott knew he was scared when Stiles had threaten to kill himself in order to stop the nogitsune but Lydia's eyes showed pure terror at the thought of him going through with it.

Kira looked at Scott as he had said those words and couldn't help saying, "she more than that to him. You and I know that, but does she know that." Hearing those words confused Scott because he wasn't sure who his girlfriend was talking about. "Who? Lydia?", Scott asked. Kira couldn't help think how Scott could sometimes just say things and either not remember or just not get it. "No, Malia...though I wonder if Lydia knows just how much he does.", Kira continued to say. Scott just replied, "I don't think she does... Malia I mean. But Lydia has always known he felt something for her but I'm not sure if she knows he still does or if she knows the full extent... I still stand by what I said to you that day in Echine while we were visiting Dr. Valack." "What, that you remebered you said you loved me back at the club?", Kira asked with puzzlement. Scott smiled down at the small Asian girl he found so beautiful and intriguing.

"No... But God I do love you. What I still stand by is that those two are pretty good together and I hope you still think they are." Scott finished off. Kira looked torn as she stared up at Scott thinking carefully over her answer. "I do Scott......but I don't know how I would truly feel. I mean I want to see all three of them happy but I know Malia being with Stiles in a way affects Lydia. I saw her reaction back in Mexico when we were saving Derek. She thinks no one noticed the little gesture she made when Malia said she would never run without Stiles. But I know if Stiles left Malia it would hurt her horribly since Stiles has been her constant. He's helped her though the change of being a coyote to being human again, controlling her shift, and ultimately giving her a family other then her dad to feel loved by. In the end, I know it's going to be Stiles's choice and who makes him the most happy. I just hope that if we ever get to that point I'll know how to react because I believe I already know who's side you would choose in the end.", Kira said. Before they both could walk back to the others Scott said, "And who's would that be?" Pausing for a second Kira simply said, "Stiles and Lydia's." Shocked at what she believed, Scott didn't utter another word and when he thought he would say something Kira was already back with the group. Sadly in the end Scott knew that Kira was right. That he would root for Stiles and Lydia to be happy together if that's what they both wanted. For it was something his best friend always dreamed of, it was something he could see and feel excited for, and it was also something that Allison always wanted to happen and get to witness.
