rough start. 🥀

part 16: forbidden forest.. 🔪

random song. wires by the neighbourhood.
he prepared for this chapter. all i'm gonna say is tw.

y/ns pov:

my eyes flicker open, my head aches and my legs feel numb. i groan and sit up in bed.. look at my clock and realise it's 13:00 pm. definitely slept in.
but i was drunk so, what can i say. i remember going to the party. but not much after that, i hate it when you cannot remember anything that happened. so i have a trick, i walk toward my bathroom and turn the tap on.

i look in the mirror as the water forms a pool in the sink. freezing cold water in fact, i look like complete shit. my mascara run down my face and my hair all over the place, my head feels like it's pulsing.

i bend down and splash my face with the ice cold water a few times. then grab a glass and filling it up with the water still running from the tap. i drink it all. wiping the little drip that fell onto my chin. now all i have to do is retrace my steps a little. remember what happened.

i walk back next to my bed. and look around... i see my heals that is taken off. and a messy bed, why do my legs feel this weird?
i spot a gift bag on my vanity. what? i stumble over and look what's inside. nothing. i can't remember where i got this from? i do crazy things when i'm drunk.. but who doesn't? i sigh and put the bag back down but it falls, revealing....

oh fuck

the vibrator. that mattheo used on me before.
shit shit shit. then it all came to me, i went to his room, and i wanted him but he gave me my vibrator so i could play with myself. stupid STUPID urgh. i hate myself sometimes. why did i have to go to his room. at least i didn't fuck him again. not WORST case scenario. i shake my head at myself.

he apologised for what he did. i remember that too, he said he didn't want to fuck so we could have a different start. i accepted it. shit. what are my friends going to think.. you know what, no. they aren't going to know.

i just wanted to know why he used the love potion on me? was it just for sex? if he liked me could he have just gotten to know me? maybe he thought i wouldn't because he's mattheo riddle. guess i'll never know.

to avoid my friends i don't go to classes, i wasn't the best at keeping secrets and draco would definitely know if i was holding something back i was thinking about. i need to be in a place they can't find me... the forbidden forest. good idea
it was breakfast time. i don't want to face them after what i did yesterday night, i felt kind of guilty that it went through my head to go to mattheo. but i can't change it now. i walk outside without anyone noticing me and i stroll straight into the forbidden forest...

i kept walking forward.. just admiring such dark beauty. it was calming and peaceful. the only thing i could hear was birds whistling. i took a huge breath in and then sighed back out. it smells so pure. i really like this place. i wonder why i've never thought to come before?? behind me i hear a twig snap. my head twists round. but there isn't anything there so i keep wondering around. suddenly the pure smell left the air, and a cold, damp smell filled my lungs. the wood became darker. unable to see the sky. the twigs keep snapping behind me. it starts to creep me out.

i turn around once more in confusion but there isn't anything there. my head turns back forward revealing an old man. he stunk like dirt and was very animalistic. it frightened me so i gasped in shock.
"Y-y-you..." he stuttered with devilish eyes and a creepy smile
i step back.
"you" he sounded angrier this time, like he new me, not in a good way.
"you can't be alive my dear. you can the there for HIM" he shouts in my face, once again i step back breathing heavily
"i don't know what your talking ab-
"YOU MUST BE DEAD! HE CANNOT FIND L-L-LOVE! he screams
i look behind me, the direction i came from. possibly miles away. i don't look back, i start running.
"oh you can't get away little child it's for the best"
he cackles, a knife in his hand running at me.
i trip on a long root of a tree as my face hits the hard ground. cuts covering my cheeks,

he got to me, he flips my body over and draws his knife. i squirm to get out of his grip but there is no use.
"i cannot let you live, for him. FOR HIM!"
his knife cuts deeply along my stomach, i scream.  i kick him in the face and his knife flies out of his hand. i stand up and run. the fastest i've ever run, still can't see the end. i scream,
"SOMEONE HELP ME! HELP ME!" in hopes when i get out the forest. someone would be there, but they are all probably still inside, shit
"HELP ME!"
"no one will help you dear, you deserve to die!"
"what have i done?!" i scream at him crying my eyes out
"i will not let him live a happy life.. NEVER!"
at this point i'm panting. but i can see the end.

there's people, lots of people
thank fuck.

"help me!" my voice is gone, all i can do is whisper. i look behind me and he is close. too close, his knife in the air ready to kill me. i reach the end where everyone is, next to the first tree i passed. almost the whole school must of heard me. but mattheo was infront of them. looking worried at me.
the man trips me up and kneels next to me, holding me down.
"he will not live a happy life! say your goodbyes"
the knife almost plunges into my stomach but someone kicks the old man unconscious. i pant, just able to stand up. i'm crying and hyperventilating. the boy who kicked the man was mattheo. he runs over to me, everyone else not saying a word in shock. blood stains along my stomach where the knife cut me. the tears flow off my face onto the cold floor.

mattheo runs up to me and hugs me gently.
"what happened? are you okay? what did he do to you?"
i cannot answer, i look at him and keep crying. hugging him back as tight as i could, i need to hold on to something. he strokes my hair looking into my eyes,
"tell me" he whispers softly
"i-i he tried to kill me. he said he would not let him live a happy life. i don't know what he means
i'm scared.."
mattheo looks over to the old man in anger then back at me,
"sh sh shh don't be scared i have you now, i promise your safe. he looks down at me, his eyes open widely, looking at the stain on my top,
"what's that?"
"oh noth-
he pulls up my top slightly revealing the slash on my stomach.
"oh my god y/n, that's deep. come here i'll take you to the hospital wing."
i don't stop hugging him. i'm shaking and sobbing. we walk over inside the castle. and the professors follow, to make sure i'm safe.

hermiones pov:

mattheo hits the man hard with his foot, he knocked him unconscious. i was worried about
y/n, mattheo seemed really scared for her
"what happened? are you okay? what did he do to you?" she just cried, no one else could help. mattheo was hugging her and she was shaking. he looked at her cut and they both walked off.

he seemed so worried, the teachers told us to go to our dorms, no classes for the rest of the day. everyone started walking away, as i walk to my dorm i think...

i thought mattheo was only in for the sex with  y/n, or to just play around because he was bored. or to hurt her, but maybe he cared. yeah he definitely cares. it was all confusing. does he love her? i'm starting to think that after all, it wasn't such a bad scenario. when he was helping her, he didn't seem bad. evil. he seemed worried for her and he showed he really cared. it confused me a little, maybe he wouldn't be so bad for her...

mattheo to the rescue! what do you think the old man meant? don't forget to vote if you liked. enjoy two posts in one day 😊
