Lydia's P.O.V

I watched as the lurking shadows of the forest seemed to move on their own as we drove by. So many thing had happened in these woods. Many bodies were left. Being a banshee only seemed to make them grow. Many things had happened since my sophomore year. People have come and gone and the people I most cared about seemed to always die.

Jackson.

And.

Aidan.

When everything first started I remember being jealous of Allison. Her and Scott seemed to have this connection that seemed to surpass the simple "love them and leave them" philosophy that everyone including me had. It wasn't fake or one sided it was true.  It was true love.

I can't help but remember that moment in the car.

"I need you to promise that you won't say anything about what just happened."

'I'll promise not to say anything about what just happened if you can tell me what the hell just happened.'

"It's - it's kind of complicated."

'Well, how 'bout you start with why was Derek there? Or where Jackson went, or what is wrong with Erica? Oh, do you need a minute to come up with a plausible lie?'

"Part of the reason why I'm asking is because Scott and I aren't supposed to be seeing each other, okay? So, it's better if you just keep what you know to yourself."

'Fine. I'll keep what I know about you and your boyfriend - which is nothing - to myself.'

"Hey. He's not just my boyfriend. You get that, right? "

'Let me go.'

"Just for one second, please, try and remember - "

'Remember what?!'

"Remember what it feels like. All of those times in school when you see him standing down the hall, and you cannot breathe until you're with him. Or those times in class when you - you can't stop looking at the clock because you know that he's standing right out there waiting for you. Don't you remember what that's like?"

'No.'

"What do you mean, "no"? You've had boyfriends."

'None like that.'

I smiled at the memory. I didn't get it then I had had so many boyfriends but they were never like that. And every time I would get close to someone...

I would lose them. Jackson left me...and I lost Aidan, but there was always a constant.

Someone who was there when no one else was. Who knew me before I knew him. He loved me even when I was too blind to see it. Stiles was always there and it was him that believed that I could become something more than the facade that I gave.

Back then I didn't get it. Now I get it. I get it, Allison.
