Monster From Hell | Tom Riddle

forty four

I was woken up to the sound of the heavy rain hit the window rapidly. I opened my eyes, the dark room cam into vision along with a small bit of light coming from the window.

I looked over to see Tom next to me, his arms around my torso. He was awake and looked very tired.

"We're you up all night?" I asked him.

"Yes, pretty much," He said in a sleepy voice, causing butterflies to start multiplying in my stomach, "How did you sleep, darling?" He asked me.

"Good." I nodded.

"That's good," He said as he pulled me onto his chest. He ran his hands through my hair. I buried my head into his warm chest. He put the covers over both of us.

"I should get going." I told Tom as I started to get up, "Pansy is probably looking for me." I said.

"You better come back later." He ordered me, "Or I'll make you." He smirked. Butterflies multiplied in my stomach as I walked out of his room.

"See you soon, Tom." I said while walking out of his room, closing the door to find him. I was still wearing his clothes, I thought to myself. I had left my clothes in his room.

I'll just pick them up later.

I headed up to my door silently and opened up the door to Pansy sitting on the bed, crossing her arms against her chest.

"Where were you?" She asked.

"No where." I lied, shaking my head back and fourth slowly.

"You were with Tom, weren't you," She raised her eyebrow, "What's that on your neck?"

"Yes," I sighed, "I was with Tom. Again."

"He's not good for you," Pansy said in between claps, "Did you see the way he treated you at the beginning of the year?"

"Yes, I did see it actually," I remarked, "I'm giving him a chance. He only pushed me away because he was scared to love anyone. He doesn't know what love feels like Pansy." I explained, "Could you give him a chance?" I asked.

She thought about it for a second and then nodded, "I will give him a chance, but if he hurts you I'll make him regret it." She warned.

"Okay," I giggled.

Pansy and I headed downstairs to the great hall for breakfast. We had pancakes and juice. We ate quickly and then started to head back to the common room.

"You shouldn't tell Draco that your dating Tom, you know how he feels around you and Tom you know?" She asked.

"Yes, I won't tell him for a while." I nodded, "I just don't know how to tell him."

"He'll probably find out eventually," Pansy shrugged as we both walked into the common room. We sat in the common room and talked to each other for a couple of minutes, laughing and having small talk.

"Well I should go, I have homework to do still." Pansy said while heading up to the girls dormitories, leaving me there in the silence. I sat back in my chair and looked into the fire, allowing myself to relax. I closed my eyes.

...

I was woken up to the sound of footsteps from below me, I opened my eyes to see that I was in someone else's arms. I looked up to see Tom looking straight forward.

"Tom?" I asked, still half asleep.

"Yes, darling?" He looked down at me.

"Where are we going?" I asked him, "What time is it?" I noticed that the sky was already dark.
