I'll help you

Mattheo and I locked eyes and I immediately put the journal behind my back.

Malfoy probably told him about the journal.

He looks a bit disappointed? .

I'm obviously the last person he'd want to find in his room.

" Jesus Mattheo how long dose it-" Malfoy's says walking in but pauses when he sees me.

" Marshall " he says before a little smirk forms on his lips.

Oh for fucks sake

" what are you doing in my room ? " he asks, sounding amused but also intrigued.

I look at Mattheo but his eyes are looking everywhere but me.

I can't think of a good enough excuse as to why I'm in here.

Ugh ! I should've come up with an answer before I left.

He's waiting for an answer, but then he looks down and notices my hand that's holding the journal behind my back.

Mattheo notices how quiet Malfoy got so he looks over at him and looks at what he's looking at and now he's noticed.

Still looking at the arm he says " Mattheo, leave " , Mattheo immediately looks up at him, he looks hesitant but says " okay " and walks out.

When he leaves I know that he knows exactly what's in my hand.

" what were you trying to do with that ?" He say motioning to the journal.

Can I get out of this ? I don't think I can.

I sigh " I was going to burn it " I admit watching his face immediately tense.

" burn it- are you crazy ? Why the fuck would you burn it ?" He says walking closer to me, visibly panicked.

" calm down I didn't " I say showing him it, hopefully seeing it might calm him down.

He grabs it off me, taking a deep breath.

Okay. What the hell ? That is not how I thought he'd react.

He seems... really scared.

" I wanted to burn it because it's been the root of this stupid problem, it hasn't done me any good so I wanted to get rid of it "

He goes into the bathroom to I assume put it back in the wall, he comes back and makes sure to walk in to me.

" you're an idiot Marshall" he says walking to his bed and sitting down.

" why  because I wanted to do something I thought would help ?" I say walking over to him.

" it's not yours to just take and burn " he blurts, which I don't think he meant to because his face immediately tensed and he put his head down.

" who's is it then ?" I ask looking down at him, when I get no response I bend down so I can try see his face.

He's not going to tell me so I just decide not to try.

" I'm sorry I took it like that, I didn't know how... valuable it was to you " I say, making him look at me.

Looking at him, really looking at him, he looks tired, and I don't mean he needs more sleep "tired", I mean he looks tired and seeing him look like that... makes me feel sorry for him.

I don't even know why he's like that, and he's Malfoy, the boys that's made it his mission to annoy the hell out of me, but it's sad to see anyone look like that.
