Theo POV:

I just found out that Angelina Black, my "enemy" actually I wouldn't call her my enemy probably more like my academic rival, has been starving herself. Why? I don't know yet, but im going to find out. I have a feeling it's her dick of a boyfriend she may be my enemy but I love her and I really do care about her.

I see her in the courtyard with her boyfriend, I sit down with my friends nearby them waiting for that dickhead to leave. Honestly, he doesn't deserve her and she deserves a lot better than him. I've seen him cheat on her with some girl from Gryffindor, that was a day before I noticed her stop eating and I noticed the glimmer in her eyes slowly fade over time. So I bet it was her boyfriend.

I go over and tap her shoulder gently, she jumps out of her skin when I do and she turns to look at me. "Theodore, what do you want?"

I look at her a bit suspicious as to why she jumped as much as she did, "please can you help with our DADA homework? You and Tom are the smartest in the class but Tom won't help me and I'm really confused."

She has a playful smirk on her face,"that's what happens when you always talk to Mattheo and never pay attention. Yes I'll help you."

I smile gratefully at her, "thank you, come on let's go to the library it's quieter there so I'll be able to focus more." She nods at me and says bye to her boyfriend.  She leans over to kiss his cheek bye and he just glares at her. It's taking all my will power to not punch him and put him in the infirmary. However, I can't not yet, I don't even know if it is his fault.

Angelina POV:

I was saw with my boyfriend in the courtyard and he was going on and on about how amazing this girl from Gryffindor is to his friends, he doesn't care I'm sat right next to him. Anyway I saw Theo come out with his friends, he's always been attractive and I've liked him for about two years now, unfortunately my boyfriend got to me first and I didn't want to hurt him so I said yes. I regret saying yes, he's the absolute worst. He's toxic, manipulative, he's physically, mentally and sexually abusive, and cheats on me all the time, but I still stay because no one can love me the way he does, at least that's what he tells me, I don't think he loves me and if he does he has a funny way of showing it.

*flashback*
I'm sat in my dorm room just finishing off some homework when he comes in drunk. He starts yelling at me, something about me cheating on him with Theodore Nott and when I try to defend myself saying that I would never cheat on him. However, that just annoyed him even more and he hit me, I looked at him in shock with tears welling up in my eyes. He just scoffs.

Bf: whatever, your just a useless whore

I blink back tears thinking its just the alcohol talking. It wasn't and ever since then he's just gotten worse.
*end of flashback*

I go to the library with Theo and sit down next to him. "What in DADA do you need help with?" He looks over at me, "just what we've been covering recently please."

I nod and I help him with the work and I notice him staring at my eye. Subconsciously, I put a hand up to my eye thinking my makeup has come off revealing my black eye. That seems to make him look at me confused. "You're wearing more makeup than you normally do?"

That confuses me because I didn't expect him to notice something like that, "you've noticed me wearing more makeup than normal?" He nods and softly asks me, "are you trying to hide something from everyone?" I shake my head straight away.

He sighs and grabs me, and our stuff. He drags me to his dorm and sits me up on the bathroom sink, grabbing hold of my waist. He gently washes off my makeup, I look down to prevent him from seeing my black eye, which was stupid. He grabs my chin and forces me to look up at him making eye contact, he looks at my eye and his eyes burn with anger. "Did he do this to you?" I nod slowly scared to speak in case my voice breaks. He holds me gently and kisses me on top of my head, "I'm going to stay with you and send Mattheo after him." I nod softly into his chest and cuddle into him.

He gently picks me up and places me on his bed, he passes me one of his shirts and some boxers. "Here put these on I'll turn around for you."

I look over at him in confusion, "you'd turn around and let me change, my boyfriend would never give me privacy, he'd always make me change in front of him." I see the anger return to his eyes, he holds my hands gently, "cara mia I'm nothing like that, if you want any privacy ask me and I'll give you the privacy you want." I smile at him and thank him.

Theo POV:

She gets changed and turns her back to me, I keep my back facing her. She taps my shoulder and I turn around to face her, smiling I look down at her and kiss her on her head. "You look gorgeous in my clothes."

We sit down on the bed. She looks over at me and plays with one of my rings. "Can we umm cuddle please?" She asks me really shyly. I nod and immediately pull her onto my lap and cuddle her waist.

I run my hand up and down her sides gently, she's to thin. "Cara mia when did you last eat?" She looks down and avoids eye contact with me before mumbling out, "I think 5 days ago."

I sigh, "merlin, that's not good for your health mi amour. Why haven't you eaten?" She keeps looking down, "my boyfriend made me think that I was to fat and needed to lose weight to be more attractive."

If only she didn't need me with her right now I would kill him, I dread asking her this question but it needs to be asked, "what else did he do to you baby?" She looks up at me with tears in her eyes. "he'd always call me fat, ugly, worthless, a whore and slut. He'd physically, mentally and sexually abuse me a lot, and cheat on me all the time"

I look down at her and hold her in to me, "why didn't you tell me, I could have helped you out of the relationship earlier?" Her answer to my question breaks my heart, "I didn't think you'd care enough about me to help me."  I guess it's time to admit my feelings for her, "cara mia j really lien you. I have done for ages but you had a boyfriend."

Before we fall asleep in each others arms she asks me quietly, "please can you help me break up with my boyfriend tomorrow? I'm to scared to do it on my own." I nod and reply, "of course I will. Get some sleep love."  We fall asleep entwined in each others arms.

The next day we go find her boyfriend and I stand by her side while she ends it with me, when he goes to hit her I step in and knock him out cold, I take her back to my dorm room and lay down in bed cuddling with her.

Ever since then I have proved to her that she deserves a lot better and I have helped her self esteem go up. She's a lot happier with me than she ever was with him.
