Forgiveness

Tom gave a letter that said he'd be gone for a a week, and so I have to watch over Marshall and that when he comes back he'll have a discussion with me, Marshall and Mattheo.

Mattheo got one too and now we're in my kitchen, him pacing around panicking as usual.

" why did you ask him to do this ? "

" I didn't think he'd pick you as my bloody babysitter, I thought it would just be me "

" why would you even want to do this ?, she isn't going to listen to a thing you say... she probably hates you "

" I'm bored and besides I like annoying her " I say.

He goes to say something back to me but then we hear someone clear their throat, we both look over and Marshall's there.

She's leaning on the door frame " talking about me ?"

Mattheo looks over at me and I look back over at him " uhm.. yeah" he says looking over at her nervously.

" what were you talking about ? '

She's acting clueless but we both know what's happening.

" we're going to be spending a lot more time together "

She looks at me with a puzzled face " why ? "

" did you not get the letter ?" Mattheo says walking closer to her.

" no I didn't what letter are you talking about ? " she asks walking over to the table.

" Tom has asked me and Mattheo to watch you for a week "

" oh how exciting " she says sarcastically.

It's quiet and I can feel the awkwardness between her and him.

She looks over at Mattheo and he's not " can we talk Mattheo ? "

He looks over at her " uhm... sure "

She gets out of her seat and walks into the library leaving the door open for him.

He takes a deep breath and anxiously walks into the room.

----

Me and Mattheo needs to have to talk and he knows it, a lot has happened since the start of the year, a lot that hasn't been discussed that needs to be.

I close the door and walk over to him " so this was what you hid from me ? "

He shakes his head " what do you want ?"

" I'm not mad at you "

He freezes " what! Why not?- you're literally being kept captive by someone who I work for now "

" and I can't do anything about it, I can't escape so I'm not holding grudges against you... it wont make anything easier "

" Isobel.. we can't be friends anymore, that chapter of our friendship died when I got this mark,we can't go back to what we were.. you'll most likely be killed here and I can't watch you die knowing that you still believed that we could be-"

" mattheo- I try say but he yells

" no ! I don't want to hear it, i want you to hate me ! I don't deserve the privilege of being your friend.... I've done horrible things that you have no idea about... it's better if we just act like we're strangers now "

I shake my head "no I don't want that, I want my best friend back-

He just keeps mumbling "no "under his breath.

" I don't care about what you've done, we can make this work.... please Mattheo I don't want our friendship to end like this"

" Isobel everyone in this house is here to make sure you suffer, they aren't your friend"
