I (Don't) Want To Forget | M.R. (ENG)

CHAPTER 5

An upset teenage girl went into the Slytherin common room. The students who were there were surprised to see their friend in this way. Taylor sat down, pissed off, next to Mattheo, then took the beer from his hand and drank it herself.

"Go ahead, help yourself. "The younger Riddle said.

"What pissed you off so much? " The older brother asked.

"And who are we going to kill for it? " Berkshire added amused.

"Nobody and I'm fine. " She replied, then sighed and finished the drink to the very end, even though the bottle was barely started. The surprised students watched their companion with even greater surprise.

"Are you sure you're okay? " Nott asked, his brow furrowed. "Not that I mind, but maybe hold back a little with this alcohol. "

"Thanks for caring. " She smiled at him pleasantly and then went to get another bottle. "But I'm sick of this. Today I put my sanity aside and I want to have fun!" She lifted the bottle up. "You know, I realized that I care too much... " She said thoughtfully and walked across the common room with a beer in her hand. "I should've finished this. I have to stop worrying about it. And the problem will be solved. " She shrugged and took a sip of the drink.

"Are you already drunk with one beer? " Blaise interjected in confusion.

"E-e..." She wiggled her index finger. "I'm not drunk yet, Blaise. " She replied sober. "I'm just stating the facts, and this time telling the whole truth."

"Maybe you'd better tell who pissed you off?" Pansy asked, slightly concerned.

"Nobody, Pansy. " Monroe replied. "It's just that I've realized everything even more today. " She said.

"And what's that? " Tom asked.

"That I was lying to myself. " She said and laughed a little. "I lied to myself long enough that I believed my lie myself. " She shook her head and took another sip of her beer.

Meanwhile, Mattheo got up from the couch and walked over to her.

"Tay, why don't you calm down a bit first..." He said.

"No, Theo. " She interrupted him and looked at him briefly. "Now, when I'm telling the truth, you don't believe me and you don't want to listen to me, but when I lie in every word I say, then everyone will to listen me willingly. " She said. "Are you surprised by my behavior? Okay, maybe you guys didn't really know me at all. "

"Taylor, that's enough for today. " The older Riddle walked over to her and took the beer. "You'll say a few words too much and you'll regret it."

"I won't, Mr. Riddle. " She took her drink from him. " I won't lie anymore and pretend to be who I'm not. The truth is, I pretend to be someone else entirely in front of anyone else, just to keep that person with me. And it's stupid, right?" She laughed. "Why should I stick with someone with whom I feel lonely anyway. Fuck it. If someone is going to leave, they will. As always. " She said and then sighed. "If someone leaves even after meeting the real me, at least I'll know..." She hesitated and continued. "That it wasn't worth it. " Tears appeared in her eyes, but girl didn't let them flow out. "What was it for..." She whispered more brokenly, and the tears reappeared and this time they began to trickle out of her eyes. "Why am I so weak...? " She slapped her head and fell to her knees, crying.

Mattheo ran up to her right away, and so did Enzo.

"Hey, hey, sweetheart..." Berkshire took her beer and set it aside to keep Monroe from poured it on herself.. "What are you talking about? You're not weak at all. "

"Tay, look at me. " The younger Riddle lifted her chin so that she looked at him. "You're strong and you're brave. You don't have to lie, tell us the truth. Whatever it is, we're not gonna run away. "
