The Dark Lords Son, Mattheo Riddle

chapter 19

The next morning came as the sun shone through the dorm windows. I sat up forgetting my problems for a split second, this is my favorite part of the morning , not remembering anything from the day before for the slightest second.

I rubbed my eyes and took in my surroundings, ava and Amelia were not here, not unusual I tend to sleep in. My stomach flipped, burned and felt gross all at once when I saw Theo's blade sitting on my bathroom counter. I did not get a chance to throw it away yesterday , it's a simple thing to do, just pick it up and throw it in the trash .
But every time I looked at it I felt the need to vomit .

I reached out to grab it and quickly put it in the trash,
"Let's have a normal day for once." I wished for myself.

It was the weekend, Saturday a perfect day to start over fresh . I combed through my hair and brushed my teeth , I didn't bother changing. I looked in the mirror one more time and slipped on slippers and walked over to Theo's dorm. I prayed to Merlin that this was going to go well.

"Morning princess," Blaise greeted me as we passed each other in the boys dorms hallway.

"You're in a good mood?" I questioned him.

"Why wouldn't I be? It's hopefully going to be the first normal weekend we've had in a while," He scoffed.

"Yeah, how have you been with Malfoy passing?" I said quietly staring at the ground, scared that if I spoke too loudly I would start something.

"I've been fine, we can talk later if you'd like, seems we have a lot in common," He gave me a friendly wink.

I know he needs someone to talk to, I do too and I don't feel like trauma dumping on him considering what he is going through.
Now I stand at his door, I have not knocked yet, my body won't let me.

"Theo," I barley get out.
I knock, no response.

I tired the handle and the door slowly creeped open, I was met with a dark room not brightly lit by the morning sun like mine was. I him under his sheets laying down, he didn't move a single muscle when I walked in.

"Hey," I whispered as I sat down next to him. I placed my hand on his cheek as he slowly opened his eyes to look at me. He looked like something had sucked the life out of him, his face was getting paler, his under eyes were dark and his cheeks were hallowed out from not eating.

"Theo," I whispered to him with sympathy.
"My sweet Theo."

He didn't say anything he just looked at me for a couple minutes.

"Lay down with me?" He asked, he sounded exhausted.
"Ok," I gave him a sweet smile and I climbed in next to him .
We laid facing each other, I grazed the tips of my fingers across his face lightly as he closed his eyes again.

"I'm sorry," I whispered to him, " I wish I could help you."

"You are helping me." He squeaked out.

He opened his eyes again and stared into mine, I realized how close we were. I let a couple tears go as his hand wiped them away.
"Your to pretty to cry," He whispered to me.

My bit my lip to try to stop more tears from falling but failed as I let out sobs.
I tucked my head into this chest and let more sobs go.

"Olivia, what's wrong?"

I couldn't look at him.

"It's you, you look terrible - I just want - want to help, please let- me help you," I cried into his chest.

"You are helping me, in everyway you can, there is ways you cannot help me though and that's ok." He tired to comfort me .

"Like what ways?" I looked back at him

"In ways that you cannot help me, only I can." He wiped the tears rolling down my cheeks away.

"I'll help you in everyway I can." I smiled at him, he smiled back at me . He gently leaned towards my face and kissed my forehead. My brain faltered for a second as I just started at him.

"What?" He laughed .

"Nothing," I smiled tucking my head into his chest. I let my eyes close and slowly forget where I was as we drifted into sleep.
