Trouble with hating a Riddle (Mattheo Riddle fanfic)

Truth

Mattheo's POV
"Shit, Bree." I say when I see her face. Her eyes starting to water. "Hey, hey... shhh. It's okay. Your with me now, You okay. Shh." I say, softly, pulling her head to my chest and rocking her.

I look down, I have been rocking her for an hour now, she's asleep. She looks so peaceful while she sleeps, I feel a smile creep on to my face. Damn, this girl got me smiling now. I use to hate her, what happened, bro? I hear feet coming up the stairs, I look up and see Bree's little girlfriend. She glares at me.

"What did you do to Bree, Riddle?" She cried, this time it's my turn to glare.

"Will you shut up?! She's sleeping!" I whisper-yell at her. She rolls her eyes, "I know your lying, Riddle, she only sleeps when she feels safe." I laugh, the pull out my wand.

"She feel asleep, okay? I helped her with something and" I started, Audrey cut me off.

"Is that a bruise on her cheek? What did you do to her?!?" She yelled, not listening to the be quiet.

"I didn't do anything, Audrey. Please calm down and be quiet." I try but she keeps yelling, I start to raise the wand. Bree starts to wake up. She groans, rubbing her eyes, "Mattheo..." she starts.

"Hey...hey...I'm right here, Finley. It's alright, your okay." I say softly, rubbing her back. Audrey stares at this, trying to figure out what's happening. Bree finally opens her eyes.

"Uhh, Audrey, hi." Bree says trying to push off my chest. She must have forgot about her new bruise because she looks directly at Audrey.

"Do I have to get Liam? Is Riddle bothering you?" Audrey asks Bree, looking scared.

"NO!" We yell together. Audrey looks between us. I look at Bree.

"Bree...we have to tell her." I say, she looks up at me and sighs.

"Audrey, please don't tell anyone. Please..." Finley whispers, she looks at me again and I nod. She sighs. "Liam...he...he, uh, hits..." she couldn't finish the sentence, but the look in Audrey's face means she knows.

I lay on the green couch in the slytherin common room, Bree asleep in our dorm. I start thinking about what happened tonight. I smile, remembering what Audrey had told me.

"She only sleeps when she feels safe."

I start to smile, Bree feels safe with me? Nice to know.

"What ya smiling about, Brother?" Tom asks.

"Nothing." I respond, I think about what Bree's girlfriend told us to do.

"You could pretend to like Riddle, break up with Liam, and then pretend date until Liam dies down."

We had agreed to the plan.
