Michelle couldn't sleep for the rest of the night. Understandable .. her neck hurts. She can't forget the picture in my head of Mattheo standing over her and choking her.
Voldemort really has control of him the night dragged on for Mattheo. His
mind goes to the image of him choking
Michelle in his hallucinations. He is filled
with fear still, and he can't sleep. He feels
sick with guilt and shame. He can't stop
thinking of Michelle and wondering if it is
safe for her to be near him from now on...
The next day, Michelle goes into classes wearing her scarf the whole time. Her neck has bruises from yesterday. Honestly, she looks like sh*t. His head hurts...she didnt sleep last night, and she wonders if I can ever sleep beside Mattheo again.
Mattheo is so worried that he doesn't go to classes and instead spends the entire day in the common room waiting for Michelle. He sits in a corner with a book, and he reads it while thinking about what he has done yesterday. He is still panicking. He looks at the time repeatedly while he waits for her. It isn't until evening that he sees her walking in the common room. He looks at her, and his eyes are filled with fear and worry. He feels ashamed and guilty.
She sees Mattheo sitting in the common room, and she has noticed that he didn't go to classes today. She walks past him towards her dorm room. He notices that Michelle walks past him. He stands up quickly while he is still looking at her.
"Michelle?" He raises his voice a little, and his face is filled with worry
"Can we talk? Please." He sounds desperate
and steps towards her.
She looks at him sadness in her eyes. "About what do you wanna talk?"
He looks at her with a hopeful expression.
"I.. want to apologize again." His tone
changes to seriousness.
"I want you to know that i am so sorry
for hurting you. I understand if you are
afraid." His desperation starts to reflect in
her eyes. "I swear that i will try to find a way to fight this, but.. it doesn't matter, right
now because i can't stop thinking about
yesterday. This can't happen again." He
shakes his head again slowly to emphasize
his words.
"No, It really can't happen again. I want
to be there for you, Mattheo. But I can't
sleep by your side at the moment. ...I am
just ...to scared."
He nods in pure sadness, accepting her request
"I understand. I understand." He starts
pacing back and forth to show that this is
bothering him a lot.
"But... don't do this alone.. please. I am
terrified that you are going to distance
yourself from me. " his desperation is
palpable. "I am scared too, Michelle." He says this with some sincerity.
"I know..." she hugs him, and again, tears roll
down his cheeks. "I am sorry... I am very
emotional at the time."
"I know you are scared, but please don't
let him win." He hugs her tightly, still feeling
ashamed and trying to keep it together.
"You... you are so special to me, Michelle." He
burys his face on her hair, trying to contain
her emotions. "I don't want you to be afraid of me. I swear that it was not me.
If I lose you.." his voice is filled with worry
and desperation.
"You will not lose me. I will not give up
that easily, but I need time for now.."
He slowly lifts his head again and wipes her
tears with his thumbs while looking at her.
"I understand.. but please. Give me a
chance to fix this. Give me a chance to
earn your trust and prove to you every
day that I am not going to hurt you." He says
this while he aress her face gently as looking deeply in her eyes. "You are worth it." He says this as sincere and heartfelt as he can.
She nods. "I know." She kisses him. She wants him to feel that she is still by his side.
His eyes light up as she kisses him. He takes her face with both of his hands, and he looks at her with tenderness. "You have no idea how much i needed that." he says this softly before he kisses her back
"I am so glad you are still here, with me
I need you a lot, " he says this with tears in his eyes. He continues to kiss her for a few seconds before he stops himself suddenly
"Okay, okay, i know you need time.." he
pauses, still caressing her face.
She smiles at him before she leaves the common room. She walks into her dorm while he watches her with a warm smile at her kindness. He still feels terrible for what
he did yesterday, and he is desperate to fix
the damages. He walks to his dorm and
he stares at his wall, thinking about how
to earn Michelle's trust again.
