I woke up with the sun shining on my face as i closed my eyes again. I sat up and stretched as i realized Mattheo wasn't beside me. I furrowed my brows and stood up, i thought nothing of it and went for a shower.

I was washing my hair and body until i heard a sound coming from my room. I froze and stayed quiet, until i carried on showering. I got out and wore my grey sweat pants and my black tank crop top before walking back into my room. I was drying my hair before i hung my towel on my cupboard door.

I put on my fluffy slippers and walked out of my room, to the common room. Mattheo's mates were sitting on the couch as i raised my brow when i realized Mattheo wasn't with them.

"Have you seen Mattheo?" I asked them as they all looked at me.

"No, i thought he was with you last night" Enzo spoke as he looked at everyone then me.

"He was, but i woke up this morning without him there" I sighed and sat beside Theo.

"Huh... Strange" Draco said with furrowed brows.

We all talked about random topics at once, I stayed quiet until i stood up and went to my dorm without a word.

***

Two days has passed and no one has seen Mattheo, my thoughts those pass two days were.

"Where is he?"
"Is he okay?"
"Is he in danger?"

All i needed was an answer. I was in my dorm, studying until i heard a knock on my door as i stared at the door. I was wondering who it was, i was hoping it was Mattheo. I stood up and opened it but it was just Tom Riddle.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"Mind if i come in, Love?" He asked as i sighed and nodded.

I sat back down on my bed as he sat on my spinning chair while staring at me studying. I felt a bit weird and uncomfortable as i stared at Tom who was already staring at me.

"What are you really here for, Riddle?" I asked him.

"Nothing, just thought i'd come check up on you" He said with a smirk.

"Have you heard from Mattheo?" I asked as i noticed his smirk dropped a bit.

"No, have you?" He asked.

"I wouldn't have asked if i did" I sighed.

We were both quiet as i zoned out, i'm scared right now. Scared for Mattheo. What if he's in danger and i'm just sitting here thinking that i'm just overthinking.

"What's on your mind?" He asked as i snapped out of my thoughts.

"Nothing..." I replied.

"Don't lie to me now, Love" He said staring at me.

"I just- NEED an answer... I need to know if he's okay- it's been TWO days, Tom... TWO days since he's disappeared, what if he's hurt and i'm not doing anything about it? What if he's dying somewhere and i'm just sitting my ass here not doing anything" I rambled and stood up pacing back and forth until Tom stood up and grabbed my hands.

I stopped in my tracks and stared at him. He was so close to me as my stomach flipped. The only person who made me feel that way was Mattheo.

"Tom-" My heart started racing when he placed one hand on my cheek.

"Shhh" He whispered.

I moved away as he cleared his throat and looked away before looking back at me.

"I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable, i just tried to calm you down" He said as i nodded.

"Thank you" I said as he nod and left.

What the hell just happened... He wasn't suppose to make me feel that way, why did i feel butterflies in my stomach, i don't even like him.

Another knock was on my door, i opened it but it was just Larissa.

Wait- Larissa?

"What do you want?" I looked at her.

"I came in peace, no need to be rude" She scoffed.

"I'm sorry- last time i remembered, you tried to kill me" I rolled my eyes.

"It was never my intention to kill you though, but i just thought it was fun" She replied with a cackle.

Crazy bitch.

"Right, fun my ass" I mumbled.

"I came to talk to you" She spoke as i furrowed my brows.

"About?" I asked.

"Mattheo." Was all she said that was enough for me to have hope.

"Look- Mattheo wanted me to tell you that he's not coming back for a few weeks, Our father has things planned for him to do. And i know we hate and loathe each other but I'd do anything for my brothers" She said as i nodded.

"Do you know when he'll be back?" I asked her as she paused for a second.

"May 2nd" She smirked and left.

May 2nd?

That was in 2 weeks... 

I sat on my bed and laid there until i fell asleep while clinging onto my book.

Day and night, the only thing that was on my mind was Liza.

"How is she doing?"
"Who is she with?"
"What is she doing?"

I needed my answers and i was gonna get them. I walked to my sister's room as i knocked.

"Come in" she yelled.

I walked in and saw her laying on her bed with her head hanging down the bed as i rolled my eyes.

"I need you to do something for me." I said.

"And what is that?" She replied as she sat up and looked at me.

"I need you to talk to Liza and tell her i won't be there for a few weeks" I said with emotionless tone.

"Why can't you just send her a damn letter?" She said.

"Because father took my owl and i can't" I scoffed.

"Alright, fine. I'll go" She said and apparated out of my sight.

I sighed in relief and went back to my room. I stared into the mirror and took off my shirt, staring at my cuts and bruises.

My father's tortures were always pretty bad.

"If you don't come back to me my child, Severus Snape's daughters will pay the price"

My father's voice kept ringing in my ears as i shook my head and covered my ears. I looked into the mirror and put my shirt back on as i apparated to Hogwarts.

I walked into Liza's dorm and saw her asleep.

My Elizabeth.

 I sat beside her and placed the blanket on top of her since there was no blanket on her.

"You have no idea how crazy i get when i'm away from you" I whispered and kissed her forehead.

"I'm doing this all for you, Angel... I'll protect you from anyone and anything" I whispered again and moved her hair behind her ear.

She moved around as i stood up and smiled at her one more time before i apparated back to the Riddle Manor.
