Delicate - Mattheo Riddle

If only I had listened to her.

I grabbed my last sweatshirt and packed it into my suitcase.

Finally done packing my stupid bag for Christmas break. I heard the door to my dorm open and felt two arms wrap around my waist.

He snuggled his face in the crook of my neck and started to kiss it.

"really? now?" I smiled.

"hey princess."That nickname shot butterflies through my body.

"we agreed to just sex mattheo, nothing else." I said.

"Maybe I want more than that." He spoke on my neck.

My body froze and I blushed under my cheeks.

He looked over my shoulder at the suitcase and saw I was done.

"Where are you going for break?" I asked him. Almost moaning with his tongue on my neck.

"Oh, I think I-" He let go of my waist a held his hand up to my neck.

I turned around slowly. His face tensed up and he started to burn a whole through my neck where the hickey Isaac left lay.

"I should've known." He turned around and wrapped his hands around the back of his neck.

"Mattie, please it's not what it looks like, he-"

"You were so easy to cheat on Isaac. I should've known" He said still not facing me. "it's not like we were dating anyways so."

"No! It's not like that! I just-"

"I don't want to fucking hear your stupid flat iron story if that's what your going to say."

"What? No I-"

"Don't play FUCKING DUMB ELLE" He stood closer to me."

"I'm. not." I stood my ground. "If you would just listen." Tears formed in my eyes

"I don't have time for your damn excuses Elle."

"I'm not making fucking excuses! You know I would never ever-"

"God, I thought you were different."

"Stop interrupting me!"

"I just know what your going to say anyway! God Elle I can't ever be with a worthless, cheating piece of shit, this is why I was only fucking you."

I heard a faint knock at the door.

"E? You ready to go?" Enzo. He opened the door and glanced between me and Mattheo. His face darkening.

Mattheo took one final look at me and shove past Enzo to the hallway.

I couldn't help the tears from flowing down my face.

"Elle, what'd he do?" He stepped closer and held my arms.

"Nothing. Nothing. He just thinks I-" I couldn't even finish before Enzo charged towards the door.

"No, No please don't leave." I wrapped my arms around his back. He hesitated but put his hands on my waist.

We stood there for a moment before I started to cry.

"Shh, hey it's ok, I promise he won't see the end of this."

"No, Enzo please don't he just doesn't understand."

"What's happened E." He rubbed my back and I layed my head on his shoulder.

"Isaac, H-He forced himself on me and started to kiss my neck. I eventually pushed him off but Mattheo saw the hickey he left."

"God dammit." He mumbled. I knew it took everything in him not to burst out the door and beat up Mattheo and Isaac. He might not succeed but I appreciated his worry for me.

"It just reminded m-me of that day ag-again, and I just-" I couldn't choke out the words before crying again.

"I know, I know. I'm so sorry Elle." He kissed the side of my head. We stood like this for a while before I finally stopped crying.

"You ok to go?"

"Yeah." I sniffled. I couldn't miss the train back home. He helped me grab my stuff and we headed for the train.

I was fuming, I swear I could feel steam coming out of my ears.

I was so fucking stupid if I thought for one second she actually gave a fuck about me.

She was just another bitch.

I tried to convince myself, but she was the first girl I ever truly loved. Like truly.

But of course the moment I let my guard down she goes and fucks another guy.

I stormed back to the Slytherin common room just to see Draco and Theo on the couches.

"Mattheo, Mattheo guess what!" Theo exclaimed.

"You know Theo, I really couldn't give a damn right now."

"No please listen it was so badass. So basically Elle was in the library and Isaac started to force himself onto her. He pushed her up against a bookshelf and started to kiss her neck and shit."

Those words drained the blood from my face.

"But before me or Draco could stop him, she kneed him in the dick and started to punch him. She was like 'that's for calling me a whoreand shit. It was so cool." Theo sounded like a little girl but that was all I needed to hear before bursting out of that room to find Elle again.

I fucked up. I fucked up.

I searched up and down the entire fucking school until I was so tired I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore.

I ended my relationship, even if it was just friends with benefits, with p

If only I had listened to her.
