"You had to?" Stiles finally looked at her and there was so much anger and hurt there that she sank further. "You had to. That's weird because it sounds a lot like a typical Maddie plan."
Maddie's brows furrowed and a flare of annoyance lit up her insides. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Oh, let's see! You hide crucial, life or death information, decide you're the only one who can handle whatever it is, and nearly get yourself killed! Again!" He was shouting and gesturing wildly. He met her eyes and took a step forward. "What? Was it funny to see the look on my face when you straight up lied?"
"No! I..." Maddie started but the rest of the sentence died on her tongue as she looked away, to the ground.
"You what?" Stiles asked. "Explain to me how any of this is okay."
The air was thick and her nerves were jagged. It was only the second time in a day someone was upset with her for her lack of communication and she was reminded of being in the car with Argent, half-dead and furious at his part in all of this. He was right though; she would've died without them. He was right and she could hate the Argents all she wanted, but the only reason she could was because they saved her life. His answer made more sense now than ever.
Maddie took a breath and found the strength to meet his eyes again.
"You’re right. It's not okay, but I really need you to understand something." Maddie's eyes narrowed and a piece of the girl she was flowed back to her consciousness so naturally, it felt like it never left. "You need to get over it."
