behind those words

Y/N'S POV

I was walking down corridors. On the edge of letting all my tears fall down my face but I didn't.

I had a really bad day. First I was late for my potion class then got detention with Snape. My parents called and said if I get one more detention I can move into Hogwarts and don't come home.

And as I walk frustrated I bump into someone. Great, just my luck it is Mattheo Riddle. My bully.

I hate him. I hate that I love him. I hate that I fell for my bully. I hate that he bullies me.

"Watch where you're going, you waste of space." he spats. "Fine, Riddle, I'll watch where I'm going when you act nice for once." I say looking up at him trying to suppress my tears.

I swear his face softened but I must have been wrong. "Too bad cause that's not gonna happen." he says.

"Well, that's too bad now move from my way cause I'm not in the mood." I say. "Someone's feisty today." he says as start to walk away.

Sudently I feel his hand grip my wrist and pull me back. That's all I needed to fall apart. All those tears I've been holding back fell down my cheaks.

He looks at me first with a smirk but then when he noticed that I'm crying his face totally changed.

"Are you happy? You made me cry. I just want to fall apart so please let me go cause I'm not in the mood for your games today Riddle. If I could I would have disappear I would I know that's what you would want but I just can't, sorry. I'll get out of your way just let me go now." I say crying.

He opened his mouth to say something but closed them again. And after hesitating for a few moments he finally let go of me and my wrist.

I rush past him running to my dorm. I close the door behind me as I hop on my bed crying into my pillow.

Why does he has to be so cruel? Why do I like him? He doesn't deserve to be loved. He doesn't deserve my tears. He doesn't deserve my heart.

After crying for a while I had to calm down due to have my friend Theodore coming to hang out to my dorm.

Theodore is such a good friend one of my best ones. He's basically my therapist. Oh, god the secrets that guy has from me.

Even if we get in huge fight he is not allowed to stop being friends with me. I mean with all the things I said to him he has enough material to ruin my whole career.

And just as I said not even 10 minutes later Theodore walked in. "Hello, hello, welcome to another therapy session with Theodore the slay queen of the town. You will have an amazing time." he says walking in with a smile and I giggle.

"Hello, queen Theodora, the pleasure is all mine." I say laughing as he laughs with me. "So what's up?" he asks.

"Well, let's see. I had a terrible day got detention with Snape got so angry and upset about it that I was on the verge of tears and then just my luck I bumped into Mattheo Riddle and he got me so annoyed and angry that I started crying and then he let me go." I say smiling not really.

"Oh, honey, you know he doesn't mean everything he says. His father like yours isn't the best and just like yours he takes it out on Mattheo. You see you have a different way to cope with it. Ranting to me but stil you're so kind cause you don't want anyone to know. But Mattheo on the hand. He just can't be nice then his father beats him and when I tell you he didn't tell me this but Mattheo has a soft heart but he's afraid if he shows it to someone it will get him hurt." Theodore says.

I never though of that. Maybe Mattheo isn't as bad as I thought. Oh, well. I look at my watch. "Oh, crap, WE'RE LATE" I say jumping up.

"Late for what?" Theodore asks clueless omg this guy is stupid. "Today is parents kids day. Everyone except my parents are coming they even let Voldy. But my parents can't but that doesn't mean I don't get to see yours. Who gets to hug your mom first." I say running out.

"You bitch" Theodore mumbles then runs after me. I got to the courtyard first. I try to find Misses Nott which I call mom cause she's practically my mother.

Maybe not biological but she definitely is. My mother was never the best and treated me like shit. But I forgive her but my father on other hand. That man is just pure evil.

Anyway back to the story. As I look around trying to find mom I look to my left to see Theodore on the other side of courtyard hugging her while smirking at me.

I smile. That little shit is smart. Just as I'm about to run to them I hear screams on my right coming from the abandoned hallway.

I slowly walk over hiding behind the wall. I peak my head into the hallway just to see Voldemort shouting at Mattheo who is ... crying.

"Boys don't cry. Suck it up. You are worthless piece of shit." Voldemort says and Mattheo tries to wipe his tears away but more of them escapes his eyes.

Just then his eyes meet mine and he immediately wipes his tears away trying to put on though act.

"Good, don't you dare to cry ever again or you will get disowned so have fun in the orphanage last time it past really well for you." Voldemort laughs and in the moment he said that I see something in Mattheo's eyes switch from sadness into fear.

In the moment Voldemort walks away I run up to Mattheo just hugging him. Giving him a small piece of comfort.

"It's okay to cry" I say and he immediately brokes down in my embrace.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything I did to you. I just can't let anyone get to me and you... you're just" he starts but stops.

After hesitating for a moment I spoke up "I'm what?" He didn't say anything at first but then "You're smart and you're kind and you're nice and you're beautiful and you're all loving that it made me love you. And I tried pushing you away but everything I do just makes me love you even more. And I understand what I did was wrong and that you probably hate me right now bu-" I cut him off not by talking but by kissing him.

After he recovers from shock that I'm kissing him one of his hands wraps around my waist and he other one tangles in my hair.

I wrap my hands around his neck devouring the moment. "I love you too" I mumble against his lips.

Only if I knew what was hiding behind his words sooner. Well, at least we got our happy ending.

THE END
