Part 4

 Maria pov
I went to my room soon, I had a small room. I unpacked my luggage, stroked my owl, and drank some medicine. I used to take medicine to calm down and sleep, but for the last 3 months it has stopped working.
It's 11 o'clock at night. I couldn't sleep. I put on a big hoodie over my pajama pants. I put on headphones and decided to go to the Astronomy Tower. I was thinking how
I can't stand Riddle. I can't believe how mediocre it is. And how much of an idea he has about himself. With that in mind, I walked up to the Astronomy Tower and sat on the edge listening to music with headphones and looking at the stars.
When someone sat next to me. I flinch a little because I didn't expect anyone here at this time. It turned out to be Riddle. I took off my headphones and looked at him a little annoyed. I wasn't really in the mood to talk.
"What do you want here princess?" Matteo asked and I rolled my eyes.

 "And what do you want here Riddle?" I asked.

"I think I already asked you first"

"you are an idiot. I couldn't sleep, the medicine no longer works. Are you satisfied with the answer"
"Don't call me an idiot princess. And what medicines?" he asked me and took out a cigarette and light up it.
"Are you seriously going to smoke?" I said and took it out of his hand
"That's right," he muttered, pulling me closer to him and holding out a cigarette before I could throw it away.

"Let me go"

 I said rudely. I can't stand it when people touch me, friends of course, but I can't stand it when family members hug me or just shake my hand. Because of this, I had a very strong reaction and immediately pulled him aside.
"Calm down princess, you won't be bitten"
"That's a very good joke," I said, rolling my eyes.
"What medicine?" asked Riddle again
"Sedative and sleeping pills." I said and looked at the sky again.
"And what do you need it for?"

"of course. to  fall asleep you idiot"
"And why can't you sleep"
"Enough questions from you, it's my turn. why are not you asleep?"
"Nightmares" he said and he also looked at the sky
"So you're running away from sleep. I'm taking sleeping pills, if you want you can talk to me i guess..." I said
"Really... why aren't you sleeping?"
"Are you so interested Riddle?"
"Yes"
"Something is wrong, I'm  lost. I can say the same for you" I said quietly and looked at him
"It can be said... a lot of things happen that we don't want"
"Well... but now here we are alive, I know that neither you nor I have come up with something simple. But we also need a happy ending."
"But it's not that easy," Mattheo said, looking into my eyes
"Not really. I say this, I give hope, but I feel like I am one who really lost it"

We looked into each other's eyes for a while. I don't even know his eyes as if they were infinity. For a second, I thought that I saw hope in his eyes, which I had lost for a long time. I broke eye contact and said quietly.
"I better go" I said and started to get up.
"Okay" Riddle said quietly. I went to the door
"Are you staying?" I asked and smiled sadly
"Yes, I think I will stay" I went close to him and handed him the headphones
"When I leave, I know you won't sleep, so I'll give you this, but you have to return it to me without being alarmed." Listen to something, relax, and you may fall asleep without nightmares."
"Why are you doing this" he asked me and pulled out the headset
"What?"
"treat me well"
"You're not a monster Matt... you're not as bad as you're made out to be"
I said and left...
