Safe- Mattheo Riddle

Riddle

Mattheo

My eyes fluttered open, I turned my head to the side to see the time '6:30' staring back at me. As I shifted my body around on the small bed, I realised it was empty. I slowly sat up and looked around the room, Aurora was no where to be seen. "Aurora?" I called out through the space.

The door to the bathroom swung open and she walked out, long blonde hair cascading down her back in loose curls, black winged eyeliner on her eyes. "Riddle" her voice was cold as she spoke my last name, nothing like the girl I'd come to know in the past 2 days. "Aurora, don't do this, you can't just ignore what happened last night" I said with a pleading tone in my voice. She rolled her eyes as she walked further into the room "listen Riddle, there's nothing to talk about, nothing happened last night and nothing happened between us. Got it?" She spat back at me. I was angry now "Aurora don't shut me out, just fucking talk to me" I shouted. I stood up and walked closer to her, a stern look on my face. "Get out" her words were empty, no emotion in them. "No, you don't get to do that. For once can't you just fucking deal with your shit instead of pushing it all away!" My face was so close to hers now. "Riddle, Get. Out. Now." I could feel her breath fanning my face as she spoke. "You know what Decampo, FUCK YOU. I don't know why I ever thought you'd be capable of any sort of feelings" she smirked at my words and pulled her wand out from the band of her skirt. "Riddle I won't ask again. LEAVE. Or I swear to god I will hex you" she pointed her wand at my neck. A smirk grew on my face "you know everyone was right about you, cold, evil, crazy, SLUT" I didn't mean it, I wanted to take it all back. I knew my words hurt her as I saw her cold demeanour falter for a second, but she quickly collected herself. "Stupefy" she mumbled and sent me flying across the room and into her dresser. "Stay away from me Riddle. Now, Get out" I rose to my feet and stormed out of her dorm, slamming the door shut.

I entered my dorm that I shared with Malfoy and Nott to find it empty and I'd never been more grateful. I kicked the door shut and sat down on the edge of my bed and ran my hands over my face and into my hair. I fucked up, I shouldn't have said what I did but there was nothing I could do to take it back now. "FUCK" I shouted, I grabbed ahold of the lamp sitting on my bedside and threw it as hard as I could across the room. My outburst was interrupted by the door swinging open, a confused Theodore Nott stood in the doorway. "What the fuck is going on Riddle" he said with a frown on his face, "Get out Nott, I don't wanna talk to you" I spat angrily. "Let me guess, lovers tiff?" He asked with a smirk on his face, I felt the muscles in my jaw tense at the look on his face. I stood up and walked closer to him so that we were face to face. "Oh I bet you're fucking loving this aren't you? It's so obvious you want Aurora all to yourself" I growled. "What the fuck Riddle" he spat back at me. "I saw you with her yesterday, arms wrapped around her, stroking her back. She's. Mine." I warned, "doesn't seem like she's yours, does it? Because let me guess you fucked it all up, classic Mattheo Riddle" he let a smirk grow on his face. "Don't test me Nott. She doesn't want you, so leave her alone" my chest was rising and falling harshly. "She might not want me, but she sure as hell doesn't fucking need you. She needs someone to help her, not someone who's going to run away everytime he gets angry or fucking jealous" that was it, I swung my fist back and let it hit Theo straight in the face. He threw a punch back and another and another, I could feel the blood running out of my nose into my mouth. The familiar metallic taste, dancing on my taste buds. I recovered quickly and tackled him to the ground, throwing punch after punch at him. His face was covered in blood, his eye was starting to bruise and it only made me want to carry on.

"WHAT THE FUCK. Riddle that's enough" Draco shouted as he pushed me away from Theo. He turned to look at me with a disgusted look on his face. I only smirked and stepped over Theo's body and left the room.

Aurora

I hated him. I can't believe I let him wriggle his way into my head. After my downfall last night, i couldn't bear to feel another thing. So I didn't. Even after telling him to leave I stood alone in my room and no tears fell, not one.

I was walking through the corridors of Hogwarts towards the great hall. Robe draped over my arm, skirt hiked all the way up. Tie placed loosely around my neck. All eyes were on me again and I felt powerful, the students scattering out of my way, caused a smirk to grow on my face. I was back.

I walked to the Slytherin table and sat down beside an angry looking Draco. My eyes drifted to whatever was opposite him that was making him so mad, to be met with the bloodied and bruised face of Theodore Nott. "What the fuck happened?" I asked angrily. "Riddle happened" Draco mumbled. "Oh, he's dead" I pushed my hands against the table to lift myself up. "Aurora, don't, I provoked him" Theo said quietly. I let my eyes fall on his "come with me" I grabbed ahold of his hand and decided I didn't have time to walk all the way around the other side of the table so, I climbed over it. "Jesus Decampo I nearly saw your whole ass" Draco said with disgust in his voice. "Oh Draco, don't act like you don't dream about it" I winked at him and walked away dragging Theo behind me.
