Unexpected love - Mattheo Riddle

04

When Pansy and I walk into the common room everyone goes quiet, the music is still on of course but there is no other sound.
"I shouldn't have come." I whisper to Pansy
"Yes you should've, it's your first party." She says as she takes my hand and starts walking and dancing through the crowd.
The eyes are still on me but I ignore it, we walk over to a table to get drinks, I need it.
"What do you want?" Pansy shouts so I am able to hear her over the loud music.
"Something strong!" I yell back.
When she hands me a drink I chug it and put the cup back down on the table.
"I'm going to find my friends!" She yells as she makes her way through the crowd again.
She's gone, she actually just left me here. That bitch.

After pouring myself another drink I make my way to the couches, when I finally get there I find Draco with what seems to be his friends.
I'm not sure if he'll want me to talk to him and I am not sure if I want to, so I try to leave again.
"Evelyn!" Draco shouts, hell no.
"Hey!" I yell back as I stand next to the couch he's sitting on.
"Malfoy got himself the new girl huh?" Theodore says, he is sitting next to Draco and he gets up, signing that I should sit down.
"What he meant to say was, we are all incredibly sorry about yesterday." Draco says
"Don't worry, Pansy and I talked and it's all forgiven." I say with a smile as I grab a bottle of whiskey that's standing on the table and I chug it down, I just wanna get drunk.
"That was a bit much." Blaise says
"Oh shut up!" I shout as I walk away
"Someone go check on her." Draco tries to whisper but I can still hear him.

"You look stunning tonight." I hear Lorenzo's voice as he catches up with me.
"Thank you." I smile "I was gonna go to the Astronomy tower to smoke, wanna come?" I ask him while smiling.
"Enzo!" I hear Astoria's voice.
"Nevermind, I'll go by myself, good luck with that bitch." I say as I walk away.
"Bye!"

When I finally get to the Astronomy tower after struggling to walk up the stairs I sit down, not noticing the boy that's standing on the other side of the tower as I break down in tears.
Everyone thinks that I went to Azkaban, the worst part is that they're right and if they look back at some old newspapers they will found out what actually happened.
"I am not even going to ask." I hear Mattheo's voice, the only person in this school that I wanted to avoid.
"Great." I say as I stand back up, wipe my tears away and walk over to stand next to him, he's smoking and I forgot my cigarettes in my room.
"You owe me one." I tell him
"I don't owe you anything." He responds
"I gave you my last weed."
"So?" He asks
"Just give me a cig." I sigh
"Why were you crying?" He asks
"Thought you weren't going to ask." I don't answer his question.
"Just curiosity." He says "Why can't I read your mind?" He asks "you can control it."
"That's true."
"How?" He asks
"Secrets." I reply, he blows out some smoke, he looks very very hot, I bet he knows that.
"So tell me, why did you cry?"
"It's none of your business." I say as I take his cigarette out of his mouth.
"Thank you." I smile and I sit down, I don't feel so good but I don't let it show.
"You don't look so good." He says
"Thanks Riddle." I answer sarcastically.
"I didn't mean it like that." He responds.
"Why aren't you at the party?" I ask
"I am my fathers son, everyone is afraid of me, except for you." He says "why?"
"I know your father." I tell him "I will never be afraid of him nor will I fear his family." I say as I try to get up, those bloody drugs I took before I went to this failed party, I didn't even know that I had some left over from what happened yesterday.
"What did he do to you?" Mattheo asks
"I am over it." I say as I lean on the railing, trying not to fall.
"How much did you drink?" Riddle asks
"Can you just stop asking me questions!" I shout, it's making me upset.
"Three or four drinks," I tell him "and maybe some pills." I continue to talk.

"I will apparate you to your room." Mattheo says as he takes my hand again, I now what he's doing. He can only read my mind when I'm weak or I allow him to do so, I'm weak now and I will be even weaker after we apparated.
"I can't go there, it's Pansy." I say as I let go of his hand.
"My room." He says, we apparate and after a fraction of a second I'm standing in a huge room with a ginormous bed.
I wish I had a single room, I hate to share.

"I apologize," He says "for my father."
I sit down on a couch and sigh "it's not your fault, you're not responsible for your dad's actions." I say as I throw my head back.
"You should go to sleep." Mattheo says "we have class tomorrow."
"I don't." I say
"Yes, you do."
"My mother will be dead for ten years tomorrow, so no, I don't." I snap, why did I even tell him that, it probably sounded mean.
"It's easy to read your mind now." He says "you are letting your guard down, why?" Riddle asks me.
"I can't control it when I'm drunk and high, and I don't care right now." I respond
"I won't read your mind." He says
"Thank you." I say "can you apparate me to my room, I'm tired." I say
"Pansy." He says
"Fucking hell! I forgot." I say, what am I supposed to do now.
"You can sleep here."
"Really? Wait since when do you care about anything?" I question him.
"Guilt." He says "sleep in my bed." He gets up from the edge of his bed and he opens his closet "just wear this." He says as he throws a sweater onto the bed.
Before he leaves he looks back at me
"Thank you for letting me do this." He says, I didn't know he was like this at all, maybe he's drunk or high or something like that.
"No, thank you." I say "don't worry about my past with your father too much, I will end him someday." I say with a smile as I get up and sit down on the bed.
"Goodnight." I say before he leaves his room, this is the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me, I am still not sure if it's all real.
I grab the sweater and take off my dress and my sneakers, I put on the sweater and lay down in his huge bed.
