Dark Waters (Tom Riddle x Mermaid !reader)

ꕥChapter 11:

Tom pov:

"I think I like you."

I just said calm and looking in her eyes. The truth is I had to came up with something really quick.

She looks at me shocked and a bit uneasy. I tried to read her face to see if it could be the case for her. But she just remain stoic.

"Don't say things like that before thinking of its consequences..."she said coldly while giving me back my diary.

It hurted to see her like that. She held her heart like she was in pain but then came back to her normal attitude.

"I know you're lying and I wished you could tell me the truth." She add.

I realised that my heart was beating quiet fast. Why would I be so worried of what she can think from me.

"I think I should go...I will wait t'ill your done with the book..." She said while getting up but I stopped her by grabbing her wrist. And her eyes were piercing mine.

People looked at us with big eyes, and it was already embarassing for me so I decided to take her out of the Library in a empty corridor not so far. I had enought of her indeference. I want her to consider me.

"Why are you so distant with me." I asked her getting angry and frustrated. Every girls in here would have dreamt of the declaration I just made to her. I Saw her look for her words and she looked down but I lift up her chin with my hand. And I Saw her crying, that suprised me but I couldn't take of my eyes off, of her beautiful face. Her tears falling like shinning diamonds.

"Saying 'I like you' to someone without meaning it just to hurt them is horrible.." she said angry and wiping her tears. I knew this had something to do with her previous school. I remember a bit of what she see that day to Lily... About that guy.

Then I don't know what was happening with me but I couldn't control my mind. She looked just so hurt and sad...I put my hands on her cheeks and came Closer.

I could tell she was shocked and just looked at me in the eyes.

"What I said is true...you're not wrong when you say that I'm a bad person. But lately I can't get you off of my mind..And I hate that." I said with a straight face.

I was serious. I didn't believed what I just said but I wanted to.

Your pov:

I was standing there, he was touching my face with his cold hands. But this time I didn't mind...I Always Saw Travis in him before. A Guy with Bad attentions...But now, It's Tom and only Tom. His dark energy wasn't as strong as it would be usual and that's how I know, how he is thinking.

He always acted so fake and I knew how to handle it. But at this special moment I could see that it was all sincere. And I felt my heart race a bit.

I shouldn't feel that.

It's Bad.

He is bad.

It will hurt me.

They all want one thing, my heart.
So I pushed him away slowly looking down to my feet. But If felt Bad of being so scared. I actually enjoyed his touch but I just can't...I feel like my heart was about to burst.

Mermaid nowdays, if they want to survive, shouldn't gave their heart away like that...

"I need to go now..."I said.

"Me too.."He replied, clearly disappointed in his voice.

We were back in the Library packing our things to go. I quickly glanced at his strange diary and I wished, I had read more of it. I remember about this 'chamber of secrets', I should read about it when I can... That's actually strange.

"Y/N." He beggin taking me out of my thoughts.

"Yes" I replied always packing my things together.

"You Can have it I'm actually done with. Sorry for wasting your time." He said looking at me and handing the book.

"Oh..." I was suprised and I took it. "You didn't waist my Time... Actually I enjoyed it..."I said smiling a bit.

"Why...?" He was the one suprised now.

"I learn more about you." I said without a hesitation and it was true. "See you later!"

I reject him because I'm scared. I'm scared of what could happend to me if I take my guards down. But still...why do I want to get close to the worst I could choose in these school..? First it was to see what he was up to but is it the only reason ?

Third pov:

You both gone your way After waving to each other. It was a tiering day. Your mind couldn't stop thinking about Tom. And like him, you hated that.

You were laying on your bed looking at the celling. It wasn't time for sleep so you were alone when you heard the door open and it was Lily.

"Hello Y/N!how are you?" She said smiling coming close to you and sitting on the bed in front.

"I'm fine I guess.." you just replied in a sight.

"Oh tell me everything !" She said looking at you curious.

"Do you think a bad person can stay a bad person?" You asked her Always looking at the celling.

"Y/N... Is it about Tom?" She said and that makes you coming up in a second sitting now on your bed looking at her in the eyes suprised.

She sight. "I Saw you at the Library with him. You know he is dangerous... especially for you."

"I know...and that's why I'm asking this question...Can it change?"

She sight again and Come to sit next to me.
"You probably too good for this World Y/N, and Tom surely don't deserve someone like you."
I looked down frustrated.

"But" she said and I looked back at her.

"You're maybe the only one who can change him." she smiled.

"Thank you Lily !" You said hugging her.
"But promise me you will be carefull.."

"I promise you!"

Your pov:

I will try to know Tom better. Try to understand him. And maybe this could lead us a great path.

Who knows?
