tom riddle: seeing you dance with another guy after breaking up

he kept a close eye on you the entire night, ensuring that nobody dared to talk to you or come close to you. he sent death glares to every guy who even glanced in your direction, effectively warding them off. however, despite his efforts, one guy approached you asking to dance, oblivious to the threat. you were about to agree to dance, but the guy suddenly backed away and hurriedly walked off leaving you confused. you turned around, only to bump into him.

"tom." you said, as you now realized why nobody wanted to talk to you.

"you were about to dance with him." he said looking at you with an intense gaze that gave you chills.

"yes, and?" you said trying to sound unintimidated.

"that wasn't a bright idea."

"though it's not like you actually have any bright ideas in that brain of yours." he snarked.

"what?" you said.

"you shouldn't have left me."

"have you forgotten what you did?" you said as your jaw clenched in anger.

"i made a mistake. forgive me."

"i need you, and i know you need me too."

"i will try to be better for you." he said coldly yet you could tell there was some genuine truth in his words.

"you will try to be better for me?" you said in disbelief as you looked at him, not believing a single word that came out of his mouth.

he sighed in frustration, running his hand through his hair in a gesture of exasperation. "yes, i will," he replied earnestly, his cold gaze meeting yours with unwavering determination.

"i've heard that before,"

"what makes this time any different?" you said, your voice laced with skepticism.

"because this time, i mean it." he spoke.

"i don't want to be with you anymore, tom." you tried to sound serious about your decision, but the look on your face betrayed your true feelings.

he nodded slowly, his jaw clenched in an effort to maintain his composure.

"then, it seems as if you have truly made up your mind now then." he says, with a cold tone, and with somewhat of a blank expression on his face.

"yet, I just have one more thing I'd like to say now."

he wasn't sure if he had the courage to do this, but no, he did, he had to say it.

"i love you." he says "i always have and i always will." he said sincerely.

"i want to believe you.." you said feeling your heartbeat race.

"then believe me." he implored as he reached out to grasp your hand.

"but it's hard to." you said looking down at your hand in his.

doubt still lingered in the back of your mind, a nagging voice whispering of past promises broken and trust shattered. you couldn't shake the feeling of skepticism, the fear of being hurt once again.

you both stayed silent as you stared at each other until he suddenly grabbed your waist and leaned in to kiss you.

you were surprised but you couldn't help but kiss him back. he kissed you passionately, with raw emotion, not caring that other people were looking.

he pulled away after a moment and looked directly into your eyes. "i promise, i will be better for you." he spoke determinedly.
