Our Past ; Mattheo Riddle

Valerine

Mattheo woke up from his sleep around four in the morning because he had to use the restroom, but when he woke up, he noticed the place beside him was empty. He got up and walked out to the kitchen, looking around for Valeria but couldn't find her. He grabbed a glass of water from the fridge and sat down on the kitchen counter while admiring the stars outside until he noticed someone standing outside on the porch. It wasn't until that someone turned their head ever so slightly when he noticed it was Valeria, and it wasn't until he saw that she had a bottle of vodka half way empty and a blunt in her mouth that he got upset. He knew that something had to have happened over the time she was suspended because she didn't really seem herself and he was trying to stay out of it, but it was really hard for him to watch her go back into her old habits that him and everyone else helped her with. She recently just started eating some food, but still not nearly as much as she should be having. 

"Val. What're you doing smoking at four in the morning." Mattheo asked her as he stepped out onto the porch since the door was already open. "Mattheo, good to see you too." She looked over at him and sat on top of the railing in front of her sending him blank stare. "Valeria give me the blunt. And im not asking you, im telling you." Mattheo started to get angry at her antics. "Oh my fucking god Mattheo, relax and go back to bed, i am not giving you my blunt." She spoke back to him with a dark chuckle. "Fine. Then I'll just take it." Mattheo said as he reached out to take it but instead Valeria whipped her hand the other way before he could reach it. "Are you serious Valeria. No you're not doing this to yourself again, give it to me." He said again with his hand held out in front of her. She scoffed as she took another pull and then dropped it to the floor. She jumped off the railing while crushing it with her foot and walked off back into the house. "Really Valeria? Don't be fucking petty." He spoke to her somewhat loudly as he followed behind her. Valeria stared blankly at him, "Stop trying to fucking control me Mattheo. I'm bound to be fucked up, so stop trying to help me." She spoke with a quieter voice, trying not to wake up the others, but obviously Mattheo couldn't give a shit. "Valeria, you are not bound to be fucked up, you just choose to be because you can't get over fucking anything. We fuck a couple times and were back to normal for godammit, I seriously could not give a shit about you Valerine." Mattheo yelled softly at her and her mood quickly changed. Theo came running down the stairs as he heard the yelling, but not before making sure everyone else was still asleep. "What the fuck is happening?" Theo said softly as he got to the bottom of the steps. Mattheo and Valeria were staring at each other with hatred in their eyes, more on Valerias side though because out of everyone, Mattheo should know not to be calling her, her real name. "Fuck you." She said to him with tears threatening to fall from her eyes as she walked to the bowl on the front table where everyones keys are. "Theodore, tell everyone i'll meet them back at Hogwarts. Im fucking leaving." She spoke as she walked out and the both of them could hear her bike start and drive off. "Mattheo, what the fuck did you do?" Theo asked him, walking to sit on the couch. "Theo, you're my best friend, so when I tell you I don't want to talk about it, I don't want to talk about it." "I don't fucking care Mattheo. I heard you call her Valerine, im not letting this go. What the fuck happened." Mattheo groaned as he regretted the words that had come out of his mouth just minutes before, and that's when Mattheo started to speak.

Valeria had been driving for about 20 minutes and she knew exactly where she wanted to go. She was heading down backroads at 90mph not really caring what could happen to her during her drive because she knew that no cops would be around at 4:30 in the morning. She pulled up to her favorite bar that she used to always go to a couple years ago whenever she needed to get out of the house, or out of the castle and have some alone time. She parked her bike while silently casting a spell on it so that no one could steal it and walked in, she knew all the workers there, so even though she was underage, she was able to get in for free, and get free drinks, drugs, etc. This place was like her safe haven, and of course she knew the owner. What people didn't know was that her family was also part of the British Mafia, and they in fact were the leaders of it, and this bar was an exclusive bar made just for the members. But this was also where she trained to fight, shoot, everything in that area. So she walked in while saying her hello's to the people she knew and walked towards the back where she knew he would be. "Ria?" Jaxon said as he saw her open the door, he had always called her Ria since they met when she was 4 and he was 6, she somewhat loved it because it didn't remind her of her mother at all. "Hey Jax." She said as he stood up and ran over to her to pick her up and spin her around. "What brings you here?" He said as he sat her back down onto the floor. "Just needed to get out. Is my shooting range still here?" She asked him and he smirked at the question. "Of course it is love." He said as he led her around the desk he was previously sitting at and into a room with a bunch of doors. They walked all the way to the back and he unlocked the door and opened it. Valeria had her own personal shooting range in the back that was decorated with her favorite guns and there were also couches and paintings all around the room. She smiled slightly as she saw her favorite SMG hanging on the wall to the right of her. She picked it off the wall as she put on her headphones while Jax laid down on the couches to the left. She stood at the counter as the targets in front of her were being set down and started to shoot, she never missed a target and nearly never missed a headshot. She loved fighting or shooting to get her anger out and to clear her head. After a couple of minutes, she took her headphones off, put the gun back on the wall and sat next to Jax. They met at Kings Dominion, school of the deadly arts when she they were young and they had been best friends ever since. They had a friend group called 'The Aces', it included her, Jax, Blake, and one of her best girl friends Lilith. She had such a fun time there until she had to leave to go to Hogwarts when she was 11, but she still went during the summer, and her rep never changed. Jax, Blake, and Lilith were all part of her family's Mafia and they became very close, so for the next hour or so, her and Jax caught up on everything that was happening in their lives, school, at home. They found peace in each other and also both have always had a thing for each other but would never admit it. Val knew that her father was going to marry her off to some random dude from either the Mafia, or a Slytherin Pureblood, but she didn't know which way it was going to go yet. 

"Alright Jax, I'll catch ya later, i've gotta get back to school before they start asking questions on where i'm at." "Alright love. Come visit some time, yeah?" "Yeah I definitely will." She said to him as they hugged and she walked out of the bar and back onto her bike. She started it up while Jax was leaned against the doorframe making sure she got out safe. He gave her a salute as she drove off, her repeating his actions and he walked back inside as Valeria drove off to get back to Hogwarts.
