Chapter 5

~Meagan~

"Why did you stay with me?"

Stiles looked at me as if I had just grown a second head.

"I.." he started just as my mom woke up and smothered me in a bear hug. "Meagan!! Oh thank God your okay!!" my mother sighed with unshed tears in her eyes. "I'm fine Mom, really it's nothing more than a dull ache now. I promise." I told her with a squeeze to her hands. "Is there anything I can get you, sweetheart?" She asked me."Actually, can you go get Scott for me, but wait outside a little before coming in, I need to talk to Stiles for a minute." "Of course sweetheart, I'll be right back."

Once my mother had left the room, I shifted in the uncomfortable hospital bed and looked at a frazzled Stiles. "Well? Are you gonna answer the question?" I asked him and I thought I heard his heartbeat speed up a bit, but I realized it must be a lingering effect of the pain meds the doctors had given me.

Stiles looked at me and then slowly came closer to my hospital bed. He looked as if he would lean in a bit more and I wanted him to. 'What if he's gonna kiss me? Ooh, I think I would like that!!' I thought to myself. I realized that Stiles was (sadly) not going to kiss me but he was going to answer my question.

He cleared his throat and looked straight into my eyes. "I stayed because you and Scott are my best friends and I couldn't bear if anything happened to either of you." He said then mumbled "Especially you." to himself thinking I hadn't heard the last bit. What he didn't know was that I remembered everything about that night including who found me.

~Stiles~

As I was telling Meagan the "only" reason I stayed I was screaming in my head.

'I stayed because if you die I will literally go out of my freaking mind!!!' I thought to myself but she would never hear those words or know how I felt because I was too scared of ruining our friendship. Because I'm scared of telling her my secret. I know that if she finds out what I've done she will never want to see my face again. She will hate me.

"Stiles are you okay?" I hear Meagan ask me with what sounds like concern and disappointment in her voice. Was she upset about the'reason' I gave her? Did she want a different answer? Did she feel something like I have all these years?

"Yeah," I said breaking away from my dangerous thoughts. "I'm just glad you're okay."

"Oh okay." She said ,and it was like her mom and twin knew when we had finished speaking because they both came rushing in and I watched Scott run over and envelop his sister in the sweetest hug I had seen them share since we were kids.

~Meagan~

"You scared me half to death! Don't ever do that again."

Scott was scolding me about going out for that long of a run and not calling, blah blah blah, when he asked me a question that caught my attention and made my eyes involuntarily dart to Stiles and back.

"Why did you take that route home anyway? You know that's the long way."

"I...um... I just wanted to enjoy the autumn air before it got too cold." I lied terribly and hoped he bought it. Scott looked at me like he could tell that I was lying somehow and that made my heart pick up the pace in my chest. Before the monitor could register the change in my heart rate Stiles' head whipped in my direction and his gaze held mine for what felt like an hour and I could tell in that moment something was very different about Stiles.
