Tom Riddle's Daughter 2 (DARKNESS IS INSIDE ME) [Editing]

YEAR IV: CHAPTER 7

[Y/n's P.o.V]

He held me close like he was protecting me. He stroked my back comforting me and calmed me down. When I calmed down he pulled away from the hug and we both sat down on one of the seats in the Courtyard.

"Are you okay?" He said looking at me worried. I shook my head as the tears in my eyes started to form again.

"I'm not okay. I never was!" I said, angrily messing my hair. "These voices in my head doesn't stop! It only gets louder and when I sleep it's tearing me apart. I try to be happy but sometimes I wonder why am I even here? I don't fit in, my friends are far away and I can barely reach them when I need to. Everyone takes one quick look at me and I'm a monster," I whisper the last part thinking of how messed up I am.

"You aren't a monster, Y/n," He said holding my chin making me face him. "And it's okay to not be okay," I sighed at what he said and looked down at the floor. "Look, I've never met anyone as amazing as you. Hell, you're strong! Even if you cry now. It doesn't make you less strong, Y/n," He looked into my eyes and smiled. "It makes you stronger, and it doesn't matter what anyone thinks of you, you're you! You just don't see it but a lot of people care. If you saw you through my eyes you'd see the most beautiful person in the whole world who I care about, who keeps my heart pounding," He said, pointing at my chest

"But why does everyone leave me?" I say, my tears endlessly rolling down my cheek. He wiped them off and took a deep breath before answering.

"I don't know the answer to that one, Y/n," I look at him. "But what I do know is that I won't ever leave you," He smiled, "Do you remember this?" He took out a ring. I furrowed my eyebrows for a moment and remembered it was the very first ring he gave me.

"It's a promise ring. Well, I know that you're quite younger than me but uhm when the right time comes. So with this ring I promise to wait for you, I like you Y/n" He said saying it all in one breath. I smiled and wore the ring he gave me. 

"I like you too," I said smiling widely as ever.

"You kept it?" I question. I threw it at him when I saw him kiss Cho at the train. That was our very first fight ever. I was such an idiot back then.

"Yeah, I just waited the right moment to give it back to you. I was supposed to give it to you at the World Cup but then that went to, you know." He nervously chuckled. "So, I guess now is the right time but this time I promise to never ever leave you," He said, slipping it onto my finger. "Well, what do you know it still fits, perfectly," 

"Like us?" I joked lightening it up a bit. We both laughed. 

"Exactly," Cedric intertwined both our fingers. I wish this doesn't end.
