Our Little Secret- Scalia [ COMPLETE]

Malia's PoV

I am sitting on Stiles' bed, Stiles has just hung up on the phone to Scott, I can tell somethings wrong,

"What was that about babe?" I ask him,

"Kira's leaving," he frowns, "she's joining the skin walkers to help control her powers,"

I can't believe it. Kira has always been here for me, but she has been getting a bit out of control lately, so it's for the best, I guess,

"Oh my God," I gasp, I feel tears forming in my eyes,

"Hey, hey," Stiles whispers I stand up and he hugs me, I hold onto the material on the back of his shirt, crying, he pats my back sympathetically, as I open my eyes I notice a framed photo, sandwiched in between his drawers and wall. Why would he have something framed on the floor?

He recognises my curiosity and tries to distract me. I ignore him and continue to wonder over to the photo.

"What are you... Oh shit... Malia it's not..." He stutters, not knowing what to say,

It is not a photo it is a drawing of a tree, I recognise it. This is Lydia's drawing. I throw it back on the floor and look over at Stiles, expecting an explanation. He continues to stutter nonsense. I look back down at the drawing and see a post it note on the back of it, which says:

"For Lydia x"

I feel like whole body filling with rage and jealousy, it makes me feel sick. I can't even look at him. Why has he kept Lydia's drawing? He doesn't have anything in his room about me.

I have tried to ignore the truth the truth the whole time we were dating but it has been so obvious.

Stiles is in love with Lydia.

I feel my stomach churning and I start to feel lightheaded. "Mal, it's just a drawing, it doesn't mean anything!" Stiles finally gets some words together,

"Yes it does!" I snap back, my voice cracks,

I can't be angry at him because it's not his fault. It's not his fault he loves Lydia more than he loves me. I knew he still had a crush on her the moment we started dating but I assumed he has got over it but no.

All those times when they embrace and he looks so happy to be holding her or when he looks at her and I can see the love in his eyes, the list goes on and on. But I chose to ignore it however, this drawing is the trigger cause of me realising the undeniable truth of Stiles' love for Lydia.

I have to end it. It is obvious he wants to be with her and I don't want to get in the way of that. That's the selfless thing to do right?

"Stiles I- I can't do this anymore," I finally say back, calmly,

"Are you kidding me, it's just a drawing!" He yells back,

"It's not about the drawing," I lie, "I just think our lives would be better if we started seeing other people,"

He looks upset, but not too upset I can deep down tell he thinks this is the right thing to do too.

I brush away my tears and head towards his door, "So you're just gonna walk out?" He calls after me, angrily "I haven't even done anything Malia! Why do I deserve this?" I can hear him sobbing slightly,

But I continue to walk out, I try to ignore him, still convinced I am doing the right thing, I know he knows I am too,

"Malia!" I hear him call as I walk out the door, "Just tell me why!" He knows why.
