Unexpected love - Mattheo Riddle

18

"Fucking hell." I hear Draco's voice and I wake up immediately, fuck.
"Really Riddle?!" He shouts "my sister?"
"Go away!" Mattheo whines as he cover his head with a pillow.
"Evelyn?" My brother asks
"It's not what it looks like Draco." I say as I slowly get out of bed.
As I get up I suddenly feel a lot of pain rushing through my body, I lean on the drawer for support but it hurts too much.
Luckily Draco helps me and gets me to the couch.
"I can't sleep when I'm alone." I mumble
"What?" Draco asks "why didn't you tell me?!" He sits down next to me.
"I didn't want you to be worried, you have enough shit to deal with." I tell him as Mattheo walks in
"Do you want tea love?" He asks, I swear to god if he doesn't shut the fuck up right now I will rip his head off.
"I'd love that." I answer with a smile
"I don't believe you." Draco says
"You don't think I'm that dumb do you? I've heard him call you 'his girl' and 'love' Evelyn." He explains
"Then fucking don't believe me, I don't care!" I yell as I try to get up, I have to get out of here. As I stand up the pain comes back.
"For Merlin's sake." I mumble as I sit back down.
Draco sighs as he gets up and leaves the room, I know that he's mad but I don't understand why.
"Here you go." Mattheo says as he hands me a cup of tea.
"Oh fuck off." I say as I put the tea down, I want to walk away so badly but I can't because of my fucking stomach.

It's getting better and it is healing very slowly but it still hurts like hell whenever I move.
"I need drugs." I say after a short silence
"What? I thought you didn't use anymore." Mattheo says
"I only do when I need them and I really fucking need them right now." I say annoyed
"You don't." Mattheo says as he gently grabs my hand.
"Don't fucking touch me!" I shout.
I am so angry and sad and just really confused all at the same time and I don't know how to deal with my emotions anymore.
"Look Mattheo, I know a guy that can get me whatever I need but I just need you or Draco to get it for me." I tell him, trying to convince him.
"I said no." He replies
"I hate you."
"No you do not."
"Either you get me my fucking drugs or I'll go by myself." I tell Mattheo, I am so fucking mad at him right now.
"You can't even walk." He says
"Watch me." I say as I get up and walk towards the door, I am in a lot of pain but I am also really really angry so I have to do this to prove my point.
"Where do I have to go?" Mattheo asks as he grabs his coat
"Just downstairs, he's already there." I say with a smile, I always get my way.
"What do you mean downstairs?" Mattheo asks "you can't tell anyone where we live!"
"Mattheo, it's a junkie ass dealer." I say "also I might owe him like a 400 dollars." I tell him,
"What!" Mattheo shouts as he opens the door and he slams it shut.

Finally alone, even if it's just for a few seconds.

It is weird that I want to be alone at moments like this but I cannot sleep alone. Maybe it isn't just because I am afraid, maybe I just like Mattheo's presence.

I struggle to walk towards my bedroom so when I finally get there I lay down on the bed.
"Draco!" I shout, after a few seconds he walks into my room.
"What do you want?" He asks coldly
"Talk to me," I say "tell me why you're mad at me because I don't understand."
He closes the door and sits down on the edge of the bed.
"Mattheo, he's not good enough for you." Draco explains his anger.
"Why not?" I ask
"He isn't a good person Evelyn, I know you want him to be but he really isn't." My brother tells me, I stay quiet.
"And besides that, what will people say about the two of you? You killed his father." Draco says
"If being with him makes me happy, I am gonna go for it no matter what people say, they will be talking about me anyways." I say "and why would you care about what other people say?" I ask
"I just don't want you to get hurt."
"Draco please, I have been hurting my entire fucking life!" I shout
"Yes and I don't want you to hurt anymore!" He yells back
"Mattheo makes me... feel better." I tell him
"You're lying." He says "you think you love him but how could anyone love a mean and cold person like him." Draco says
"You can't tell me who I can love and who I can't love, besides that you don't know him like I do." I say "now will you please get out?" I ask him nicely.
"What would your mother have said if she knew you were dating a Riddle?" Draco asks
"I will never know, your father made me kill her remember?" I ask "now get the fuck out of my room." He walks away and slams the door shut, it makes me flinch and the tears in my eyes start to form.

How could he say something like that?
Maybe he is right, mom would've been so disappointed in me.
"Can I come in?" I hear Mattheo's voice after he knocks on the door. I stay quiet as he walks in.
"What did you hear?" I ask as he sits down next to me.
"Everything." He answers, we both stay silent, I don't know what to say.
"Say something." I mumble
"Draco didn't mean what he said." Mattheo says
"Yes he did." I reply "I saw the look on his face Mattheo, he hates me."
Mattheo says noting, he just holds me as I sob into his shoulder
"I need you to tell me something." I say
"What is it love?" Mattheo asks
"Did you kill him? Fred?"
"I didn't mean to, the corridor exploded and I didn't know he was there." He answers honestly.
I stay quiet again, he didn't mean to kill him but Fred is dead because of his actions and I don't know how to deal with that.
"Perhaps your brother was right." Mattheo says and he gets up and walks towards the door.
"What do you want me to say Mattheo?! You killed my friend!" I shout
"I don't know? Something!" He yells
"I'm extremely mad at you, but I also need you right now so if you leave this room I will never ever talk to you again, do you understand?" I say calmly.
"You're lying to yourself darling, if I made you feel better you wouldn't have been crying and asking for drugs." Theo says as he closes the door again.
"Mattheo, my friend is dead, I finally killed the man that killed my sister, my brother hates me because of you. It would be weird if I weren't sad" I say "and besides that I am in a lot of pain right now."
"Here you go." Mattheo says as he hands me a small bag with like four of five opioids.
"Thank you." I reply
"Is there something I can do?" He asks
"Just stay with me, please?" I answer
"Everything for you princess." He answers.
I open the small bag and take half a pill, hoping it will kick in soon.

Mattheo says quiet and just holds me like I asked him to do.
I think about my mother, she would have been incredibly proud if she knew I killed Voldemort but she would've been so disappointed if she knew I like his son.
"Your mother would have been proud no matter what." Mattheo says, I forgot he can read minds.
"How do you know?" I ask
"Because you stayed true to yourself." He says "a lot of people can learn from that."
I don't know what to say.

Is he right? Does it even matter?
She's dead so even if she isn't proud, I'd never know it.

"I'm proud." Mattheo says
"You?" I ask confused
"Yes, you are doing great." He answers
"I'm fucking high right now." I say
"Do you mind if I smoke some weed?" Mattheo asks
"Of course not." I answer, he kisses my forehead and starts rolling a blunt.

He lits it and as he exhales smoke my eyes close slightly, I am so tired.
The pain isn't that bad anymore and my mind is clear, time for a nap.

I close my eyes and fall asleep, finally.
