Carousel ↠ Stydia Au

1.9 ↠ and there's no turning back now.

"What did Stiles text you?" Scott asked me.

"He just asked me what I was doing, but he was hanging out with Malia Tate," I reply and Scott almost chokes on the water he was drinking.

"MALIA?" He asks me and I just nod. "No way. No. He didn't tell me that last night."

"Wait, you were with him last night?" I ask Scott.

"Yeah he crashed at my house."

"Why didn't you tell me? What the fuck?" I ask him, my voice rising.

"I'm sorry I didn't know you wanted to know," he says, apologetic. I just nod back at him.

"I'm sorry I'm just frustrated. I don't know what to say to him," I say, with a frown on my face.

"Maybe give him space?" I thought you were in a good place, though?" Scott asks.

"Yeah, so did I. I was going to tell him how I felt yesterday. He said he was busy," I say.

"Let's drink. And not talk about this anymore," Scott offers.

"That sounds great, but I have work in an hour."

"Don't act like you don't show up to work slammed all the time," Scott says, and I hesitatingly agree.

"Welcome to the Muuuusicc Expreeessssssssss," I slur, letting 10 year olds on the ride. I can't believe this, I'm plastered at 5 pm at work. I deserve to get fired.

"Hey, Lydia," I hear a familiar voice say. I turn around, and low and behold it's Stiles. Bruised.

"What do you want?" I say, barely being able to stand. I try to lean on the metal railing for balance, as Stiles' bruised face becomes blurry to me.

"I feel l-l-like we need to talk. A-a-are you drunk-k?"

"No. Yes. Yes I'm drunk. No I don't want to talk to you," I say, turning around, slightly losing my balance but regaining it immediately.

"What? Why?"

"Why am I drunk? Or why do I not want to speak with you?" Hearing Stiles speak right now makes me want to scream then violently cry.

"Both."

"I texted you last night to see you so I could tell you how I felt. That I liked you. You say you're busy, but I see you with Malia? I'm drunk because I'm upset and I don't want to talk to you because you borderline broke my heart. Please leave." I say, holding back tears. He just sighs, and starts walking away. As he walks away, he says something. I couldn't understand what he said so I brush it off.

"i didn't know you liked me," i mutter under my breath as i start walking away from lydia, a singular tear rolling down my cheek. i could have had lydia. i blew it. why didnt i just see her?

i was embarrassed about my face. my bruises. i can't help but constantly think i'm a nuisance.

"stiles, are you okay?" i hear a girl say to me. i turn around and it's malia. i dont know what to do.

"yeah, wanna go somewhere?" i ask her, giving her a soft smile. she smiles back at me and takes my hand, leading me somewhere. this almost feels like cheating, but lydia made it very clear how she feels.

malia leads me to this wooden building in the middle of the forest.

"where are we?" i ask her, but she decided to avoid the question by kissing me. i've never been kissed before until that, except that night with lydia. she was drunk though, i don't count it.

"it doesn't matter, just be with me," malia says, continuing to kiss me. so i kiss her back.
