Light and Dark (Tom Riddle)

Chapter 13: In My Head

"He had eyes like darkness and hair like waves and a soul as deep and vast as the ocean."

Recap:
"Whatever. I'm leaving." I stormed out of the carriage room, leaving a bruting Tom Riddle alone.

Melody POV:

I cant fucking believe him. Sure I heard he was a hardass who doesn't care for others feelings. But why I felt like I'd be treated any differently. I don't know.
I really thought we were getting to be decent friends. Not to mention how much I do really like when he is genuine. I told him I trust him. And he does that to me?!

I could feel the tears falling from my eyes, rolling down my cheeks. My mascara becoming a mess around my eyes and trail down my face.

Ugh I cant believe he's had such an effect on me with such stupid words. Words that AREN'T EVEN TRUE!

I started to run around the bell tower, looking for Sadie and Savannah.

"Sadie!!" I screamed out. "Savanah!" My voice slightly broke.

Fuck

I couldn't stand it anymore. I leaned against the wall, sliding down the stones. Curling myself into a ball, I sobbed and sobbed. I rubbed my eyes, trying to get the tears to stop but they didn't. My nose was running, I tried my best to wipe it with my sleeve, but I just ended up a snotty mess.

Im a mess.

"Sadie!" I cried out once again.
"Melody? Where are you?" I heard her yell back for me.
"Sadie, I'm over here!" My voice wavering with every word.
I soon saw her approaching me, she was with Max. They immediately began jogging towards me, when they saw the state I was in.
"Melody! What happened? Are you ok?" She kneeled down beside me. Her and Max's face were both laced with concern and confusion.
"Tom-" I couldn't even finish my sentence, another wave of heartbreak overtook me. The sobs that left my lips got louder.
"Hey, hey, it's ok. I'm here." She pulled me into her chest. "I'll kill him."
"No! Don't. I just wanna go back to our room." I looked at her pleading. I don't need this to be an even bigger mess then it already is.
"Let's find Savannah, and we'll go ok?" She said softly, rubbing my hair comfortingly. I nodded.

Toms POV:

I stood there. Unmoving. My face looked hard but inside I wanted to scream.

Why the fuck did I do that?
I know it wasn't true.
She's not an attention whore. I just couldn't stand her talking to another guy in front of me.

She's the only genuine person I've ever met.
But she. It felt like she was changing me.
When Warren told her that I wasn't one to help someone.
She was right.
I'm not.
But I want to help her. I want to help Melody
I want Melody to tell me her jokes.
I want Melody to choose me for games.
I want Melody

I made her run out of here sobbing.
I didn't want to actually hurt her. Not that much at least.
I pushed her away.
She said she trusted me and I said that.
I just hope she'll come back.

Melody POV:

We walked around the wing, searching for Savannah. Occasionally calling her name. Sadie's arm was wrapped around my waist to keep me from falling. The tears and sniffles were seemingly never ending.
Max was leading us around the tower. Trying to figure out where Victor would've taken her.
