This Was A Mistake | Mattheo Riddle X Reader

chapter 36

a/n: this is so irrelevant to this story but i had my psats todayyy so now my spring break started !!

Maya
A few days after that party, I had to throw my dress out because the sleeve had been stained with dry blood from the carving on my arm.

It was bleeding while I was drunk and high off whatever drugs I was taking that night.

I hope nobody remembered or saw that. I doubt so.

I'm still not one hundred percent sure who it was. Meredith and Astoria are my two suspects. I can't go straight to assuming, but I will find out.

It hurts so bad. The pain just wouldn't go away. I couldn't find myself a healing cream or anything. Once I got back from break, I needed to see what the Weasley twins had.

I hadn't worn any short sleeves after that either. I was absolutely terrified to. I was so insecure about it. I haven't been insecure in so long.

This whole presents thing for my friends and boyfriend was a good distraction for now.

If I wasn't out getting anything for them, I would be isolated in my room, crying and crying.

Mattheo
I didn't know what to get her.

What do you get the most important person in your life for Christmas? It has to be perfect. I truly have no idea how to do this.

I haven't been a boyfriend before, I've always just been there for sex.

I've got this. We've basically been together since fifth year..

I went to several stores and looked for what I should get her. Clothes? No.

That's when it clicked into my mind.

I knew what I was going to get her.

Maya
What do I get him? What does he like?

He likes rings, snakes, hoodies, and cologne. Alcohol and drugs but that doesn't count.

I got all my friends their Christmas presents and saved Mattheos for last. I needed to look a lot for what I wanted to get him.

I decided I'd get him a big pack of silver rings, a new cologne that I knew he would love, a watch that would just suit him perfectly, a hoodie to make up for the ones I stole from him, and a bunch of candy.

A very similar gift to the ones I got for my friends, but I didn't think of it that way. I got a gift for professor Mcgonagall and Snape of course. Even though I didn't get along with Snape that well, I think it was best he needed a gift or something.

I made sure I took my time with his gift, it was our first Christmas as a couple, so I hope it was good. I also added a note with his gift, wishing him a happy Christmas and that I loved him.

Christmas, yay!!

I was so excited to see what I had gotten. I didn't bother to come downstairs seeing all my gifts were already brought up to my room, under my little tree.

As tradition, I wore my red plaid pajama pants again, of course. This time, I wore a black long sleeve t-shirt with a muggle band on it instead of a black tank top.

I thankfully saw no gifts from my parents, I wanted nothing from them. I would've thrown out whatever they'd gotten me. That's how much hatred I have for them.

I first opened my gift from Pansy.

A few muggle t-shirts, which I absolutely love, a box of chocolate frogs, and perfume. I've got to make sure to write back to her of course about her gift. I'm sure she'll write me back as well.

I then opened my gift from Daphne.

A pair of sweatpants and a fat load of money. It came along with a note as well.

Merry Christmas, Maya!
I'm sorry it wasn't much, mum and dad rushed me for gifts so I had to improvise. Love you, girly!
- Daphne

Understandable. Daphne is always the last-minute kind of girl but that's okay with me. This is a lot of galleons though, wow.

Her family is pretty loaded, so I shouldn't be surprised with this amount. I'm really not, I used to get this on a daily before everything went to shit.

I went on to open Blaise, Adrian, and Enzo's gifts.

Blaise got me a basket just full of candy and junk he knew I would devour over the break. Classic.

Adrian got me this board game we both used to play in our third year but got it taken away from Snape because it got in the way of our school work.

Went through hell getting this back from Snape's office. Technically, I stole it back—nobody needs to know that though. Merry Christmas, Maya!
- Adrian

Of course he did.

This board game was actually so much fun. It was a muggle board game called Monopoly.

I need to show it to Mattheo and teach him how to play. I can be very competitive though.

Lastly, I opened Enzo's gift. Enzo got me candy and junk as well. I definitely wasn't complaining, I love eating junk food.

The gift I was most excited to open, Mattheos.

I saw a big cute basket sitting under my tree, I pulled it out and began to scan what was in it. I already knew I was going to love this.

Two sweatshirts of his, he knew how much I loved his sweatshirts. A pack of chocolate frogs, my favorite. A very expensive pair of earrings that I'd been wanting for the longest time. Wow, I didn't think he'd get me this.

I guess he really was listening to me blabber about random things that one time in the library.

A pair of sterling silver earrings with a little emerald inside the middle, sat in a small, beautiful velvet box. I picked them out and saw how they glistened under my lights. They were beautiful.

That felt like the best gift of all. He didn't need to get me anything but that. I still had more to look at that he'd gotten me.

"Crucio!" She pointed her wand at me for the third time today.

Only one day until I'm back.

"Please—stop!" I screamed in pain, tears running down my cheeks.

Thousands of daggers stabbing all of my insides, my screams and her laughter filling the room. How could someone possibly enjoy this? I'm going to find out who she is and kill her.

She lifted the curse and walked over to me. No. She can't carve me again. Not this. No. No. No. Please. I can't.

She pulled out a dagger instead of her wand, and lifted up my sleeve on my left arm. "No—please!" I cried. I tried to pry her off of me, I just couldn't.

She dug the blade deeper into my skin this time, re-carving the same word she did last time.

She shortly left me in the dining room again, laying in my own blood and tears again.

I ran out of bandages to cover myself up with. It was only a matter of time before the carving on my right arm turned into a visible scar.

All I could do was hope for the best. Hope it was just a minor cut she made on my skin. It felt worse than ever. I knew it wasn't a minor cut, it was a deep cut that could be infected.
