In the Shadows (Mattheo Riddle)

chapter 17

I sat on the floor, jaw completely on the ground at what just happen.

I looked up at him, shaking off the blow he had just landed to this poor boys face.

"Have you gone completely fucking mad Riddle?!" I screamed.

The whole common room now looking at us.

Draco, Theo and Enzo ran up to us.

"Jesus Mate!" Theo screamed pulling Mattheo back to the other side of the room.

Enzo helped the boy up, Draco snarled at him "Thats what you get for dancing with my sister, mud blood."

I was beyond embarrassed, being dragged away by my idiot brother. All I could do is look back at the boy and mouth "I am so sorry"

I was so sorry, I never thought I'd get Mattheo so worked up, to physically hurt someone.

What the actual fuck.

I was slammed on the couch by my brother.

"Your lucky I don't send you straight upstairs for that act!" He screamed at me

"Me?! Contain your lunatic friend! I did nothing!" I pointed straight at Mattheo.

"ME? You're the one dancing like a whore!" He shouted back at me,

"Where the fuck do you get off calling me a whore!" I was now standing, shouting very loud at the boy, who just last night I was completely infatuated with.

"Okay both of you calm the fuck down, now!" Theo screamed over the music, pushing me back onto the couch.

I sat there, hands crossed, visually angry, not taking my eyes off Mattheo.

"Amelia, he was just being a good friend to your brother, none of us want to see you dancing with a boy like that. Were all like your brothers, please relax" Enzo said softly, taking a seat next to me

"Your all my brothers?!" I scoffed. "Thats comical!"

"Amelia, watch your tone now." Draco spat at me.

"Fine brother, yes brother, like always I listen to you right!" The alcohol was definitely talking for me now.

We all sat there. Completely silent. I still had my arms crossed. Anger spewing from my expression.

Theo took to the seat next to me, handing me a drink, draping his arm around me "Calm down Amelia, relax, drink, enjoy the party."

"Fine!" I rushed out, guzzling down the very strong drink.

When the cup left my mouth, Mattheo was no longer sat across from me.

Instead, he was heading up the dorm room stairs, dragging none other than Daphne Greengrass behind him.

Locking eyes with me, with a smirk across this face, making sure I seen him leave with her.

And thats exactly when I knew,

Mattheo Riddle, was quite literally the biggest piece of shit I've ever met, and the feelings of hatred that had momentarily subsided came rushing back.

He was absolutely nothing to me.
