Anyone But Her

You Lied

Lydia decided that it was probably time to get up so she headed upstairs to get changed. Although, when she headed in the room to grab her things she found Jackson in there and his facial expression showed pure frustration. "Baby...? What's the matter?" Lydia asked him sweetly as she could. Jackson moved his strong gaze from the floor to her, grinding his teeth in the process.

"You lied." Lydia didn't know how two simple words coming from a certain persons mouth could frighten her so much. Her brain felt fried and all she wanted to do was run but she held her ground. "W-what baby? What do y-you mean? Lied a-about what?" She tried to remain calm but inside she felt utterly frightened. That's it. He must have found out about everything.

"You said yesterday, when you was gone for ages, that you was with Bella having a tea party or whatever but when i saw her today and asked her about it she didn't know what i was talking about. So? Confess. Now. Where the hell was you?!" Lydia felt her throat tighten up as her whole body felt cold and stiff. "Erm well you see...erm that...erm..." Lydia stuttered aimlessly trying to think of a better excuse but her mind was blank.

Jackson stepped closer to her, his frustration easily turning into rage, as his eyes burned holes into her skin. "Well? Tell me now! Cause i swear to god Lydia if you don't tell me the truth i'll find out my own way!" He shouted at her loudly making her hair stand on end as a small whimper escaped her mouth. "N-no baby please d-don't get mad i-i was just in the b-bathroom you know fixing m-my makeup..." Lydia quivered as she lied again but this time he wasn't buying it one bit.

"You was fixing your makeup for half an hour?! Look i know you're vain an all but that is ridiculous even for your standards and i mean when i saw you your makeup looked appalling so obviously you hadn't spend any time doing it!" He yelled at her, stepping even closer this time. His large frame towering over her making her feel small and fragile.

"O-okay baby i-i was on the phone to..." Before she could finish he cut her off and this time he looked even more pissed off. "I fucking knew it you was taking to Aidan weren't you?!!" He bellowed aggressively at her, as she stared at him in confusion. "W-wait w-what baby? No of course not i don't even..." Jackson cut her off again, he seemed fed up with listening to her and more bothered about coming up with theories about her and Aidan. "But no i wasn't ev..." Lydia tried to protest again but he shut her up by placing his large hand in her face, making a brief shushing sound with his lips. 

"I always knew it as soon as i saw you sat together in chemistry you was all over him you slut i knew you liked him. So that's it now you've been cheating on me with him?! i don't even understand it he's not even good looking i mean compared to me come on!" He spat angrily at her and she started to tear up. "No baby no not at all i would never cheat on you i don't even speak to Aidan and we was only sat together cause Mr Roberts had put us there i honestly don't like anyone else but you i swear!" Lydia pleaded desperately with him, her grip on her emotions becoming useless and small, salty tears came streaming down her face making her eyes blotchy and red. But Jackson didn't care in the slightest or even seem to notice for that matter as he was so hellbent on her cheating and being the insanely jealous person he was, he lost it.

"THATS IT LYDIA. DON'T FUCKING CALL ME BABY I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU, HONESTLY YOU'RE SUCH A CHEATING WHORE I DON'T EVEN WANT TO LOOK AT YOU RIGHT NOW - GET OUT!!" He stomped up to her, screaming in her face and she cried heavily, all she could get out was splutters and whimpers before she quickly fled the room. She stopped for a moment in the hallway, catching her breath and wiping away her tears, she debated whether to go upstairs to talk to Stiles but thought better about it as she decided to leave, just like Jackson had told her to.

She quickly wiped her face the best she could and throwing her bag over her shoulder she headed downstairs. Coming through the living room door, she was surprised to find Stiles sat down there already with his parents watching TV and her entrance made him look up. His eyes widened at once upon seeing her red eyes and blotchy face and furrowed his eyebrows in question at her, desperate to speak to her but she spoke first.

"I'm sorry guys but i'm heading home now, thank you so much for letting me stay it has been wonderful as usual" Lydia said quietly but as cheerfully as she could which seemed to work on Jackson's parents but not Stiles, he could see right through her. "Aww you're leaving so early love? well okay then we hope to see you soon and make sure you rest sweetie!" Mrs Whittemore shouted pitifully as Lydia left the house. She strode to her car as quick as she could but before she could get in she heard the front door close again. She looked back to see Stiles running after her and he skidded ungraciously as he got to her car, slightly hitting into it.

"Lydia! Wait please i can't let you go home like this tell me what happened." He spoke calmly but his voice was full of sadness and concern. "Stiles i just can't right now okay? Me and Jackson got into a fight. What more do you want to know? cause right now i know two things: i know that if he catches us speaking he will kill us both and i also know that i need to get as far away from him as possible right now and that includes this house Stiles." Lydia replied as she opened her car door and got in.

Stiles came up to her window as she wound it down. "Lydia please you can talk to me! i don't want you going home alone not like this it's not right!" He pleaded with her to make her stay but she had made up her mind. "No Stiles it's for the best. He's made it really clear that he doesn't want me here and quite frankly it's best if i listen to him especially when he's this angry. Just do me a favour Stiles? Please don't talk to him or go see him to ask just stay away from him please he's not in the right frame of mind and he could hurt you." She said slowly. "But Lydia please.." Lydia cut him off . "No Stiles i'll see you at school tomorrow. Bye." She replied coldly, and with that and a sad longing look from Stiles, she drove off heading home.
