TW: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS VIOLENCE!

/////////////////////////////////////////////////

As the week went on like always, things started to feel of between Ryder and I. Every time I would try to come up to him to talk to him, he would make an excuse and walk away. Sometimes during our classes he would even glare at me. I couldn't tell if he was angry or upset or both.

Friday came along, everyone was excited of course to relax for the next two days and not worry about school work. Today I was going to confront Ryder and ask him whats wrong and why he has been ignoring me for the whole week.

It was really getting on my nerves that he was ignoring me.

"Class dismissed," Professor Slughorn mumbled as he had just finished his lesson on Amortentia, the strongest love potion in the world. For me I smelt the library and the sea. Unfortunately Ryder doesn't smell like either of those things.

Our relationship is really falling apart, Tom was right and I hate admitting it.

I walked out of the classroom quickly as possible to make sure I wasn't distracted by anyone or anything happening in the corridors.

With my book against my chest and my long robe flowing in the air as I walked, I headed to the Slytherin common room.

"Victoria!" I heard Pansy's voice from behind me, I looked back at her to see that she was walking towards me, her brown hair was tied up into a ponytail. Blaise and Draco were following next to her.

I turned back around and continued to walk. down the corridors to the Slytherin common room, I know they are my friends and I shouldn't ignore them, but this was important and I have to figure out what to do with Ryder and I's relationship.

A few seconds of thinking later, Pansy and the others finally caught up to me and started to walk beside me, "Hey, why are you in a rush?" Pansy asks, "Draco Blaise and I were about to go to Hogsmeade to get some butterbear, wanna come?"

"Could you maybe..." I stalled, "Wait a few minutes for me, I have to talk with Ryder about...things."

"What exactly is 'things'" Draco furrowed his eyebrows while using his fingers as quotation marks when he said things.

"About our relationship," I said quietly.

"What about it?" Blaise asks.

"It's complicated Blaise," I said calmly, "He's been...ignoring me for the past few weeks and I want to figure out why."

"Ok," Pansy mumbles, "Meet us in the common room after, good luck."

"Pureblood," Draco mumbles once we have reached the entrance to the slytherin common room which was a stone wall, revealing the common room as it opened. We walked inside, Pansy and the others plopped down on the couch near the fire and sat back.

"Would you think Ryder would be in his dorm right now?" I asked.

"Maybe," Pansy shrugged, "Go knock on his door, if he doesn't answer you could ask him after we go to Hogsmeade."

"Yeah, I'll be back," I said while heading up towards the boys dormitories. Walking a few door s down, I was stopped by a figure of someone pushing me up against the wall agressively.

"What do you think you're doing up here?" The voice mumbles, I looked up at the figure, It was Tom who has taken off his robe which left his white button up shirt and his grey knitted vest and his tie.

"I'm going to see my boyfriend," I gulped down the lump in my throat, "Well...for now I think."

"Pathetic," He murmurs.

"Excuse me," I snapped, "Pathetic, what's pathetic? If so you're the pathetic one."

"How am I pathetic, darling?" He asks in a soft but aggressive tone. I stood there in a few seconds of silence, Tom snickers and then laughs.

"See? You can't name a single reason why I'm pathetic, You-"

"You're pathetic because you keep crawling to hoes for attention. You'll never know what love is Tom!" I exclaimed.

He looked at me as if he was angry, but upset. He swallows and then walks away while mumbling words under his breath.

I stood there for a second, trying to process what just happened in my head.

All of the sudden a different figure passes me and starts walking away. It was Ryder, I walked after him and grabbed his arm.

"Jesus," He snaps suddenly causing me to flinch, "Will you leave me alone for once? You're so clingy."

I felt shocked by his words. Leave him alone? He hasn't talked to me all week, yet he asks me to leave him alone?

"I need to talk to you?" I mumbled.

"About what?About how you're sorry for being so clingy? Please," He rolled his eyes.

"Why have you been ignoring me this past week?" I asked.

"Why does it matter to you?" He asks.

"Because you're ignoring me! It's pissing me off!" I exclaimed, "I just want to know-"

All of the sudden I felt the hard palm of his hand hit my face, causing a burning pain on my cheek. I felt a river of tears fill my eyes as I immediately started running out of the boys dormitories before Ryder stopped me.

"You really thought I would date you?" He asked while chuckling evilly, "I used you Victoria, I used you for attention, to get more girls jealous."

"You what?!" I exclaimed.

"You heard me," He smirked, "I was using you to get more hoes in the school, ever since we started dating I've never felt anything towards you, ever."

"I'm done, Ryder," I mumbled, "All this time you only used me? Just great," I started to walk away before Ryder aggressively pulled me back with his hand and threw me against the wall.

"I'm not done with you yet," He sneers, his hand started to come towards my face before he was knocked out of sight by someone. I looked over to see that Tom was on top of Ryder, his blood was boiling.

"You son of a bitch!" Tom mutters.

"What are you going to do Tom? Ever since when have you cared about Victoria?" He asks with a smirk on his face. Tom slammed Ryder's head onto the hard wood floor, causing me to flinch a little.

"Tom...please," I mumbled.

He looked up at me and open his mouth, his eyes raged with anger, "Get away!"

"Get off of him!" I ordered.

"Go!" He yelled louder and continued to give Ryder bruises and cuts all over his face before saying, "Learn how to treat a girl you piece of rubbish!"

"At least I'm not heartless," Ryder smirks, Tom slaps him in the face again. Sweat ran down his face in anger.

"No, you are heartless!" Tom said, "I maybe am but you don't know how to treat a woman, you piece of rubbish!" Tom yells back, Ryder got up quietly and went inside of his dorm.

"Are you okay?" Tom asks.

I looked at him dead in the eye and started to walk away, then Tom grabbed my arm, "Darling, I don't like being ignored, are you-"

"Get off of me," I screamed, "I can handle my own situations Tom, I don't need you to defend me! You never cared for anyone! Not a single soul on this earth, so don't act like you care now because it's too late!"

"I just want to know if you're alright," He mumbled.

"I'm fine Tom," I said in a calm tone.

"Are you su-"

"I SAID I'M FINE!" I yelled and walked off into the Slytherin common room, tears filled my eyes.

"Vic...." Pansy's voice came from across the common room. I looked over at Pansy for a second. Pansy and the others all had worried expression on their face. I walked into the girls dormitories, tears streamed down my face.

"Vic!" Pansy, Blaise and Draco came chasing after me.
