This Was Not The Plan | Mattheo Riddle

Part 3

Mattheo's POV

Within an hour of the train journey beginning the group continued their conversations about what they did during the summer, what was I doing? Oh thanks for asking, I was spending my summer trying not to get me or my sister killed. You know the usual.

But something about her looks so intriguing, she seems so innocent, so fragile. And the fact that she's asleep probably makes up for the fact that I'm practically staring holes into her head, I mean it's not creepy per say to stare at someone while they sleep, is it?

I tell myself off for even thinking that she looks peaceful, I literally met her an hour ago and she is one of my mates sister. But that doesn't seem to out me off, I mean I know it's creepy but there's something so innocent about her that makes me want to protect her. I mean she's innocent until she starts to speak to me, then she's not innocent she's confident until she realises what she's said.

And then when I spoke back to her, the blush that coated her cheeks I could get used to. She seemed so embarrassed after insulting my father, but can you blame her? He's not exactly a saint is he? And when I spoke back to her, calling her princess I could fall into a trap and call her that forever and would never go insane.

Jake interrupts my thoughts, announcing to everyone that he's going to get changed and if someone could sit in his seat to not wake up Allison, I like that name, so simple but so meaningful especially in the world we live in. Her name means Noble, and her family is it only makes sense that their daughter is as well.

But I don't even know what comes over me before I say "I'll do it" everyone looks at me in shock and to be honest I think I am as well. I stand up and walk over to where he's sat, he gently lifts up Allison's head which doesn't even move, before he stands up and I slide into his seat gently putting her head back onto my shoulder.

When I sit down she grips onto my arm, tight, before burying her head even deeper into my shoulder almost as if she was having a nightmare. So I logically thought that if I calm her down then she would let go of my arm. So I proceed to stroke her hair, and let my hand brush onto her face.

I pay close attention to make sure I don't poke her in the eye, cause I mean who deserves that when they haven't done anything?

But then I hear someone whistle, I look up to see everyone in the cart staring at me "What the fuck do you all want?" I ask in a whisper trying not to wake the girl who's asleep.

No one replies, instead seemingly finding the ground very interesting all of a sudden, I ignore them going back to brushing Allison's hair but I can tell they're staring at me.

After a while I grow tired and decide to rest my eyes, not for long but for long enough. But sooner then later I fell asleep before Jake got back from changing, so we stayed like this, her body against mine and my head on top of hers.

I'm not going soft, I've just met the girl.

Jake's POV

I come back to see Mattheo asleep with Allie against him, and his head on hers. I check my watch to see what the time is, realising that there's another 4 hours until we arrive at Hogwarts, I chose to let them sleep for another 3 hours before waking them up.

I walk towards the vacant seat which was Mattheo's, and start to talk to Lorenzo but everyone calls him Enzo. All while I was in conversation with him, I couldn't help think why would he offer to let my sister sleep against him? Better question why would he be willing to let my sister sleep? Normally he would just bug whoever it is until they move away from him.

I mean there's always the possibility that he's just trying to be a good mate, but it doesn't seem like he would ever let someone he doesn't know sleep on him. He could also be tired so was going to sleep on the journey and decided to just kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
