In the Shadows (Mattheo Riddle)

chapter 18

 I quickly got up off the couch, and stumbled my way up the stairs. All I wanted to do was sleep. Anger was taking over my body.

For the first time in my life, I was upset over a boy. But not just anybody. Mattheo fucking riddle. How could I ever allow my self to feel this way towards him? I knew the kind of guy he was, and he wasn't the type of guy I wanted at all.

I finally reached my dorm, and slammed the door behind me. I jumped into my bed, threw the covers over me, and wanted to stay there forever. I couldn't help but cry. I laid there, by my self, crying into my pillow, while the boy I was crying about was doing god knows what with the biggest slut of all.

I heard my door creak open, "Amelia?" I faintly heard through my covers, I couldn't make out who it was.

"Get out! I want to be alone!" I ordered. I truly couldn't explain to anyone why I was this worked up.

My blankets were then ripped off me and standing at the edge of my bed was Theo. Who looked very concerned about the state he had just found me in.

He sat on the edge of my bed, and started to rub my back, "Care to explain why all these waterworks?" He sounded worried.

Theo was a bit of a dick, well to everyone but me. I assumed he was only nice to me because of Draco, but point being, he had a soft spot for me.

"Im fine I promise, I'm just drunk" I wiped my tears, and tried to smile, hoping he would buy it.

"This is more than drunk tears love, whats going on?" I could tell he wouldn't give up.

"Just embarrassed I guess" I thought this sounded better than explaining the real reason.

"He had it coming touching you like that and you know it" he replied, trying to sound comforting.

"I know, but the poor kid was knocked out cold. What if I liked him? Or wanted to dance with him? Why are you boys free to do as you wish but I must be under lock and key?" I started growing visually more upset.

"You're not a prisoner. Were just using our better judgment and aren't going to allow you to waste your time on these little boys. Thats all Mattheo was doing, he was trying to help you." He tried reassuring me.

His name made my skin crawl now, it made me want to scream and throw thing. I've never had a temper.

"Help me?! HA! He was not trying to help me Theo he's was-" I stopped my self.

"I promise he was, theres no need to cry over a boy who wasn't worth your time." He nodded.

I took his words in different way then how he implied. He was right. Mattheo wasn't worth my time. He wasn't worth my tears or my angry.

"thank you theo, you're right." I smiled and wiped away my tears. I laid my head back down, but Theo stayed. To ensure I didn't cry again, or wander off. He still sat on the edge of my bed, rubbing my back until I was fast asleep.
