Mattheo Riddle - Born to die

Chapter 10: Consequences

POV Mattheo:
Is he kissing you? Did you kiss back? My mind goes so mad. It hurts to see you two together now, my heart aches. I watch the scene and can feel the sadness and anger creeping up on me, Fred? Kissing you? Am I so stupid? I try to act cool and pretend like everything is okay, but the pain is killing me.

So Mattheo is instantly coming over
to them and is punshing Fred in the face.
He just saw red in this moment. Michelle looks at him shocked. "Mattheo, what did you do?"
Mattheo stands there in total shock.
His hand is bleeding like Freds nose.
"Mattheo, go now. " Michelle looks upset. So Mattheo turns around and leaves the party.

He doesn't even look back because he is still
in total shock. His stomach turns, and his
heart is beating fast. He can't believe what
just happened.. Did he just punch Fred? Did he really just ruin the possibility of a kiss from Michelle? Did he just act out of pure jealousy?
He runs as fast as he can and goes to his dorm.

POV Mattheo:
I think I messed up. I shouldn't have
punched Fred. What's wrong with me?
what the hell happened there.. I feel
terrible.. I am lying in my dorm, not knowing what to do. I can't believe what I just did. I hurt Fred because of my own jealousy? Am
I really that dumb? I feel like the worst
person in the world right now. I don't know
if I should just go on with my life or run
over to the hospital wing to check on Fred
and Michelle. Should I go? Maybe I should talk to you first? Maybe i need to apologise..

POV Michelle:
I can't believe what just happened. What
did he do? I mean, yes, Fred kissed me
but was Matheo jealous of this? I don't
understand what's going on. I help Fred
getting up and bringing him to the hospital
wing.

After Michelle brought Fred to the hospital wing, she took a few bandages with her. She is very mad at Mattheo, but still, his hand was bleeding, and she cares about him. So she goes over to his dorm and knocks on the door.
"Mattheo, it's me. Can I maybe come in?"
Mattheo hears the knock, and he hesitants to say yes, but at the same time, he wants to see
Michelle. He is still confused and mad at himself for acting like that. He opens the door and tries to act cool "Yeah of course. Come in..." he says quietly with a nod.
She comes in and goes over to Mattheo. "Show me your hand...I brought some stuff to desinfect and bandage it. Would you let
me please?" she says with a calm tone.
"Oh...um... sure... " he shows her his hand. It is bleeding, and he can't take his eyes off her. He feels like he doesn't even know what to say.

Michelle takes his hand in hers softly and starts cleaning his wound. "Listen..I am very
mad at you, Mattheo. But still, I don't want
you to be hurt, okay?"
Mattheo is speechless. Michelle touching his hand feels amazing. Is he actually enjoying it? 'Why am i like this? Why do i like you so
much?' he thinks.
He stays quiet. He keeps looking at her, but he doesn't know what to say while he feels stupid.
"Mattheo.." Michelle starts bandaging his hand."I care for you, and I know you care for me too, but I want you to stay away from me for at least a while."
"But.." Mattheo says in a quiet but slightly confused voice. "I thought..." his voice trails off. He feels so confused right now, and his mind is racing at 1000km per hour while his heart is beating rapidly. He wants to take her in my arms, but he knows he screwed up. He can't stop looking at her. I still want to talk to you. He want them to be friends. He wants to be close to you. 'But maybe you don't want that anymore..' he thinks.

"Do you understand what you did tonight?
You punshed him. For what? It was
totally unnecassary. I am sorry, but" she
finishs bandaging his hand and continues, "Please accept this, okay?"
He looks at her, and then his eyes go to the
ground. He feels so dumb. "i.. i am so sorry..
i don't know what got over me. I just, i..."
His eyes widen. "I just did not know what
I was doing." He says while looking back at
Her "I want to apologise. I don't want you
to be mad at me.." he feels very anxious and
nervous.
"I am sorry too. But I have to go now.
It was a long night... " she turns around and
leaves his dorms walking to hers.

POV Michelle:
I am lost in my thoughts about what happened tonight.. And knowing that not seeing Mattheo is hurting me too.. but he has gone too far. What did he think?

POV Mattheo:
I just stand there listening to you leave.
I want to talk to you, but i know you have
to cool down.. maybe you will forgive me
tomorrow? Maybe it is all going to be fine.
I should probably leave you alone
I sigh and sit down on my bed. My mind
just won't leave me alone. There are so
many things i want to tell you. But you are
right, I did go too far..
