Tryst -Tom Riddle

MACKENZIE'S POV

"Don't be late , we don't want to miss the train." Aimee said as she was leaving to go to the great hall.
"Yes Aimee, see you in 15 minutes." I said and continued to comb my hair.
So, we are leaving. Aimee thinks I am going home to my parents, my parents think I'm going with Aimee but in reality I am going with Tom. It's like I am scared to ask help from my own family and friends, the people who care about me the most. I'll be completely honest, I am scared to go with Tom. A part of me tells me that he'll never hurt me and that he can change. The other part is yelling at me to go home to my parents and tell them the truth, and send Tom where he belongs. Azkaban.
But what can I do? My stupid heart gave him some space, I fell in love with him. I hate him, I love him. I don't know which one is it.

"Morning Macy. Are you ready to leave?" I jumped as I heard someone's voice. I turned around and my eyes met with Tom's.

"Good morning Tom. How did you get in?"
"The door was open."
Aimee must have left it open.
"Oh alright."
"So, are you ready?"
"Yes almost."

I quickly put on my shoes and picked up my bags.
"Here, let me help." Tom said as he saw me struggling to pick them up. What is up with him today? Why is he acting so nice?
"No, it's okay. You have your own bags to carry."
"They are all downstairs. I came back to help you." He said.
He really did that? I smiled and said,
"That's so sweet Tom, thank you."
He picked up my bags and we left my dorm.

"Why are you acting to different?" The question just slipped my mouth.
"What do you mean?"
"Like you care about me."
He immediately stopped and turned around to look at me.
"In my almost 17 years of existence, you're the first person I have ever cared about. Don't you ever say that again." He said and continued walking.
What was that? I could see that he was hurt in his eyes. I shouldn't have said that. I sighed and followed him.
I sat beside Tom during the breakfast. He asked the rest of the boys not to join us. Why? I don't know.

Suddenly, I am one of the popular students. Not in a good way. Girls hate me and some boys are always stating. I don't like that. I mean girls hate for absolutely no reason. They are just obsessed with him. If only I could tell them the truth.

"Mackenzie?" Tom practically yelled my name.
"Yes?"
"Get up, we're leaving."
I nodded and got up.
"Make it quick, we'll miss the train!"
"Stop yelling at me! What is wrong with you?"
I almost saw sorrow in his eyes but only for a second.
"C'mon." He said a bit politely.

We adjusted ourselves in our compartment. I yawned since I couldn't sleep last night. As every second is passing, I am getting more scared. I looked at Tom and he was already looking at me. Tom said down on the opposite seat in front of me.
" I know that you're scared but trust me, I will keep you safe. Do you trust me, Mackenzie?"
Do I trust him? I myself don't know. Unwillingly, I nodded.
"Yes Tom. I trust you."
He smiled before taking out a book to read while I just stared into the black space, letting my thoughts taking over me.

The door opened and John Wiley walked in and sat down beside me. He is one of the students I hate the most. He thinks he is smart and better than us but in reality he is just dumb and stupid. I heard Tom sign in irritation.
" Hello Mackenzie." He said out of nowhere. Why is he talking to me.
"Hello John." I dryly replied and continue to play with the ends of my skirt.
"You look good today." He said smirking, his eyes travelling up and down my body. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat. I heard Tom inhale sharply but didn't do anything.
"Thanks."
He shifted closer to me.
"What are your plans for summer?"
I looked at Tom and he was looking at me as if giving me a warning to keep my mouth shut.
"N-nothing much."
"C'mon, don't be shy. You can share things with me." He said and I jumped as he placed his hand on my thigh.
"Don't do that!" I said and slapped his hand away.
"Tch, don't be like this." He said and placed his hand on my thigh again.
"She said don't do it!" Tom suddenly yelled at him.
"Mind your own business Riddle! Read your book and let me do what I want." He said and ignored him.
"Get out Wiley." Tom said giving him another chance. He chose to ignore him again. Stupid John, you're playing with death!

In one swift move, Tom pulled him by his collar and pushed him out of the compartment. "Don't make me repeat myself next time!" He said and slammed the door shut. He sat down beside me and looked at me. He studied my face for few seconds and said, " I told you I care about you."
I stared at his face. He is like a work of art, everything about him is perfect. I couldn't take my eyes off. I leaned in and placed a light kiss on his lips and moved away. I continued staring at his face and next think I knew is, we're both kissing each other passionately. I felt his arms wrap themselves around my waist, picking me up and placing me down on his lap, my legs on either side of his thighs. I am actually enjoying this. My fingers were playing with his soft hair while we continued to kiss. Usually, he is the one to kiss me but this time, it was me. We both eventually pulled away for air.
"I care about you too Tom ." I said and he smiled. He actually smiled. Not a smirk, not a fake smile, a real genuine smile.
"I know you do." He said and kissed my forehead. It's weird that he keeps messing up my life and he himself fixes it. I got off his lap and sat down beside him, putting my head on his shoulder. I yawned again. He must have noticed cause I heard him chuckle.
"Sleepy?"
"Hm"
"Go to sleep, I'll wake you up."
I quickly kissed his neck and closed my eyes. At that moment, I didn't care about anything. The fact that he killed someone, his evil plans, nothing. I will stop him and save him from himself. That's a promise.
