My mind lately has been racing with my thoughts and doubts. I recently shared a conversation with Estella; she admitted to worrying about my well-being specifically about my relationship with none other than Tom.
"I don't understand what your point is," I said as I looked at Estella confused about her comment on how Tom has isolated me from everyone around me. Estella sighs before looking around checking our surroundings.
"Y/n you know how Tom is," She says, nodding slightly, hoping I would understand. I give her a confused look as she takes a deep breath through her nose.
"Don't you find some of the things he does odd?" Estella asks I just look at her wanting her to continue her sentence. Yes, Tom could be confusing at some times but it was never his fault. In most situations, Tom is just misunderstood. Right?"What I mean is what Tom is doing to you isn't normal y/n" Estella admits giving me a sincere look. She looks at me as if she pitys me and it makes me feel uneasy. Makes me want to puke."I understand how hard it is leaving a toxic relationship but-" Before Estella could finish her sentence I quickly cut her off."Toxic?" I said confused looking at her feeling as if she's now making assumptions about my relationship.
"Y/n what he did last Saturday shouldn't be ignored no one deserves that treatment" Estella continues. Now she's lost me. Last Saturday? Last Saturday I wasn't with Tom, he had canceled our plans because Slughorn needed his help sorting things through his classroom. I watch as Estella realizes I have no clue what she's on about. Estellas' eyes widen as her hand immediately flies to cover her mouth.
"What happened last Saturday?" I ask her my curiosity is now growing within me and I want nothing more than answers to what she's talking about.
"I've said too much and when he finds out I will pay for it," Estella says before shooting up from her chair and looking at something behind me with nothing but fear in her eyes.
I turn around to see Theo staring right at Estella with a disapproving nod. Theo is leaning up against the wall at the back of the classroom. He is surrounded by other Slytherins who are just chatting away. Theo's gaze travels to me and he stares at me before looking away turning his attention back to the boys in front of him.
What the hell is going on?
"I'm so sorry Y/n" Estella pleads before grabbing her things and leaving the class before it can end. I hear laughter from behind me, turning around I see Theo and the group of boys snickering and laughing about who knows what.Soon were dismissed and I couldn't get Estella's words out of my head. I dreaded leaving class because I would be confronted with Tom. We had potions together and I wasn't sure if I felt comfortable speaking to him. Should I ask him about his whereabouts last Saturday?
No, it'll give him a chance to lie.
Walking out of class I spot Tom waiting for me smiling at me.
"Hey," He greets me placing a kiss on my head. I just give him a smile not wanting him to be suspicious of anything. I lean up giving him a small kiss before we begin walking to potions.
We walk in comfortable silence it's broken once Theo walks up to Tom. I look towards Tom as he turns his head to Theo confused. I watch as Theo whispers something into Tom's ear. As Tom is about to turn his head I turn mine first not wanting him to get any ideas. Trying to play it off I turn to him and he's already staring at me. Tom looks at me with a straight face and I give him a confused one in return.
"Is everything alright?" I ask him dumbfoundedly. Tom shakes his head before slipping his arm around me as Theo flees.
He knows.
