The star and the moon. (Mattheo Riddle x OC)

Chapter 13.

I slowly woke up, feeling something around me. When I opened my eyes, Mattheo's right arm was holding me.

What on earth happened while we were sleeping.

Why does it feel... comforting? Even though I hate his guts.

His arm twitched, so I immediately closed my eyes knowing he's waking up.

He's not moving his arm for some reason. In fact he's moving his body so it presses against mine even more. His left arm is above my head.

What the fuck. Is he asleep or awake? There's only one way to find out.

After a few seconds of preparing myself, I fake stretch awake, immediately feeling Mattheo jump away from me. I keep in my laugh, pretending I have no idea what's going on.

When I sat up, I looked over to Matt who's already sitting up, he looked nervous.

"You good?" I asked.

He quickly glances at me then looks away. "Huh? Oh yeah I'm fine. Just woke up shortly before you."

"Oh okay." I said innocently.

I got up from the bed and took out some new clothes, luckily there's a bathroom in the room so I'll just change in there.

I took my clothes off, then put on some pants and then my bra but suddenly I got dizzy. I felt heavy, as if I was gonna pass out.

Not again...

I get out the bathroom, forgetting to put my shirt on and just walk towards the bed. I'm obviously unwell, I keep almost falling.

Mattheo's concerned voice echoed in my head. "Estelle? Ez, are you okay?"

I felt him pull me on the bed but the world went dark.

This time I was in a field. It was dark, as if there was thick black fog around me. Grindelwald was in front of me, holding my butler with his hand on his neck.

"You're not home are you?"

I looked at my butler, stressed out. "What are you doing?" Tears were forming in my eyes.

"You know what happens if you don't listen, Estelle. The more you run away, the more time it gives me to catch you."

As he casted the killing curse on my butler, I yelled.

"GRINDELWALD STOP!"

It was too late. He was laughing.

"I'll find you soon."

I felt my body lift up for a few seconds. Finally I woke up to Mattheo holding me in his arms.

Tears ran down my face. I'm scared. I'm so scared.

"Ez I'm sorry."

I look at Mattheo confused, trying to hold back my tears.. but I'm unsuccessful.

"I heard you talking when you passed out. I know what happened and I'm sorry." He held me tighter. "You're safe here."

My heart was pounding out of my chest. "You know..?"

"Yes. I know who your dad is now."

I try to get off him but he still holds me tight. "But Ez I don't care. I dont care because I know how it feels. I know what it's like to have a monster as your parent."

Suddenly I just can't control my tears. Honestly it felt like I could cry a whole ocean.

After a few minutes I calm down, realizing I'm in his arms. Then I remember what he said, that his father is a monster.

I get off of him, sitting next to him. "Wait, who's your dad?"

Matt looks anxious.

"I know it's stressful to say it out loud but you can tell me. I understand."

Suddenly he looked serious. "Promise you won't hate me again after this."

I laugh "I already hate you Mattheo."

"I'm being serious."

I look at him, all the joy seems to disappear. Something darker is going on.

"I promise. You know my deepest darkest secret, you're the second person who knows. It's only fair I know yours."

He hugs me. This feeling is so foreign to me because its someone I used to hate. How did we end up here?

"Voldemort." he whispered.

Fear immediately waved over my body. "What..?"

Now we're both staring at each other. "Isn't Voldemort trying to kill my father?"

"Ez I promise I'm not against you. We both hate our parents."

I stayed silent for a few seconds. "I'm not letting him kill Grindelwald. I'm the one he tortured for 10 years of my life, so I should be the one to take his life." my voice turned from harsh to anger so fast.

Mattheo took my shoulders. "Estelle I understand. I'm on your side."

Well of course you'd be on my fucking side, it benefits you and your stupid family.

I can tell Mattheo see's that my trust is slowly fading away.

"Not because of my father. It's so your pain can stop. I just want you to be okay." He had tears in his eyes and his voice was shaking.

I look down and notice I only had a bra on... now I'm fucking embarrassed.

We both look up and laugh a bit, despite our emotional sides showing.

"You're a good friend Matt."

I think he appreciated it because he immediately smiled.

I go in the bathroom and put on my shirt and socks so finally I can start the day.

I still hate Mattheo, but he's been treating me better than anyone for a long time.

When I got out the bathroom, Mattheo was already dressed. "Let's forget this morning ever happened."

I laugh. "I agree."
