{27} A Secret

P.o.V Scott

I managed to get Stiles back to normal talking since ge arrived here. He was still crying but not that hard anymore. Definitely progress.
"So that was it? You're completely over?"
"I guess so..."
"Come on, man! If you love her, then fight!"
"What if she already moved on?"
"Seriously? She broke up with you one hour ago!"
"What if she likes Theo?"
"So? You said it yourself, you have a crush on Lydia."
"But I love Malia!"
"Maybe you two need a break, maybe even date other people. You got together at age 13. Maybe you just need to experience other things."
"But we're meant to be!"
"If you really are, you'll find your way back to each other. My Mom told me something after the trouble with you-know-who."
"And what?!"
"You fall in love more than once. And it's true! That thing was just over when Alli arrived here."
"That thing with you-know-who-I-mean wasn't even a relationship!"
"But I was in love with her. You know that. We were almost dating when..."
"I know. You two were flirting for two years. You loved each other until-"
"Don't say it!"
"Alright. Sorry. Did you even kiss?"
"Yes. More than once. We almost did something else but we were too nervous."
I felt like this was the right time to tell him the truth.
"Dude, you never told me!"
"It's still hard to talk about her."
"Well, back then it wasn't."
"It was embarrassing for me."
"I get it. Are you better now? We haven't talked about her since it happened."
"I guess so. I have Alli now but she was my first love. It's hard to let that go."
Without Alli, things would have gotten worse. Way worse. But right now, this was about Stiles and Malia and not about me.
"Tell me something I don't know."
Stiles eyes were still red of all the tears. When he arrived here, he had been sobbing and fell into my arms. We kept quiet and ate our crisps. When I decided something, I took a deep breath before speaking.
"Stiles?"
"Yeah, buddy?"
"I'm gonna tell you something that no one knows, alright?"
"I'm listening."
"We were dating. But no one knew."
"What?! Why didn't you tell me?"
I knew that this was gonna be his first question.
"I couldn't. Her parents were against it so we didn't tell anyone."
"How long?"
"Four years."
"You...you had a girlfriend from 5th grade to freshman year and no one knew?!"
"Yes. Don't tell anyone."
"Wow. You guys came even further than Lia and me."
"Yeah. Well, your end was better."
Stiles smiled for the first time.
"Thank you, buddy."
"For what?"
"For reminding me that, whatever I am going through, your life will always be worse."
"Thank you very much."
Normally I would have been slightly pissed at this but now Stiles needed this. I would do anything to make him feel better just like he did that for me.
