Enemies to Lovers - Mattheo Riddle

Four - The argument

Y/N POV

I walked downstairs and saw everyone looking at me. Well everyone except Enzo. He took one look at me as i came down into the common room and instantly looked away. 

I went to go sit next to him but he walked off.  I was confused but didnt ponder on it for too long. 

"Nice jumper y/n." Pansy said, grinning 

"yeah i didnt know you played quidditch." Draco said smirking

I was so confused because i didnt play quidditch "What do you mean, i dont play quidditch?" 

"Then why are you wearing Mattheos quidditch jumper?" Theo asked me 

"Shit." I whispered under my breath. I then hurriedly tried to take it off. But, Mattheo grabbed my arm and wouldnt let me take it off. 

"Leave it on." He whispered to me

"Fuck off Riddle." I said to him. I took off his jumper, chucked it at him and went up to our dorm. 

Before i could stop myself, i started crying. Why did i feel this way about him? One day i think im in love with him but then the next i act as if i hate him. 

I heard a knock at the door. 

I didnt want anyone seeing me in this state so i said " Leave me alone." 

"Y/n its me. Let me in please. I need to speak to you." I heard Enzo say.

I let him in and sat down next to me on my bed.  He put his arm around me and said "I think we should break up." 

I had stopped crying at this point as shock over came me. 

I stood up and said "Why Enzo? I thought we loved eachother!" 

I must have been shouting quite loud because i didnt hear the door open and see Mattheo standing in the doorway. 

" I do love you y/n, but i dont think you love me back." Enzo shouted at me, making tears form in my eyes. He had never shouted at me like that before. 

"Whats that supposed to mean?" I yelled back at him, tears steaming down both of our faces.

" It means that you are in love with Mattheo Riddle. And dont even try to lie to me because i know its true." 

"What are you on about? I have hated Riddle since we started Hogwarts and you know that." 

"Yeah well im starting to think you were lying about that." 

Suddenly, i saw Mattheo come over and yell in Enzos face

"Leave her the fuck alone alright. If you ever yell at her like that again, then i will kill you!" Mattheo shouted in his face.

Enzo quickly ran out of my dorm and i sat down.  I immediately broke down in tears. Putting my head in my knees and just sobbed. I forgot Mattheo was in the room until i felt someone come over and hug me. I knew it was Mattheo as i could feel his cold, metal rings against my skin as he hugged me. 

"Is it true that you hate me?" He said to me in a quiet voice, not wanting to scare me.

"Im not sure anymore. I used to but things have changed." I said, telling the truth as i didnt want to lie to him

"Oh." He said. As he said that, he got up and moved onto his bed. 

Id messed things up, like always. I then got up and went into the bathroom. I took the pocket knife that i always kept in my pocket just in case out, and started cutting into my skin. Silent tears streamed down my face as i watched blood leak out of my arm. 

Then, without warning, i let out a loud sob. I then put my hands over my mouth, knowing Mattheo had heard me. This was confirmed when i heard his bed creak as he got up. He started knocking on the door, telling me to open the door and to let him in. 

I wiped up the blood as much as i could, pulled my robes over my cuts, wiped my face and walked out of the bathroom. Mattheo was standing there, right outside. 

"Show me your arm y/n." He said. It didnt sound like a command, more like a request. I knew though that i needed to. 

I lifted my sleeve and showed him my cuts. I instantly felt so vunerable.

He didnt say anything to me. He just pulled me into a tight hug. I sobbed into his shoulder as he comforted me. 

This wasnt the Mattheo Riddle i knew in my first, second and third years. This wasnt the cocky, rude boy that i used to know. He was different. I felt as if i didnt hate him anymore. 

Then, he sat me on his bed and went in the bathroom. He came out with a packet of tissues. He lightly held my arm with one hand and with the other, he was gently cleaning my cuts. 

I winced as he he touched a specific one. He had wiped the one that had previously been scarred.  I would keep cutting it open every time. 

"Ow." I said, as he wiped a cut that hurt quite a bit

"Im sorry love." He said in a quiet voice. 

Mattheo Riddle apologised to me. Everyone in Hogwarts knew that Mattheo never said sorry to anyone. He said that it ruined his reputation, yet he said sorry to me. 

I knew at that moment that i loved Mattheo and i wanted to spend forever with him. 

A/N - SORRY FOR THE LONGER CHAPTER. THERE WAS A LOT THAT I WANTED TO INCLUDE IN THIS PART AND DIDNT WANT TO SPLIT IT INTO TWO.
