Small whispers

Chapter Two

WARNING! This chapter contains abuse, mentions of sick and body image issues.

I left my bedroom door open behind me and started picking out some fresh pyjamas. The sound of the door closing made me hurry up trying to get out of being in the same room as him for too long. A tap on my shoulder however startled me causing me to drop the outfit I had chosen onto the floor. "Arri, look it was a mistake."

A mistake that's what he thought was a harmless mistake. "No Theodore a mistake is when you spell a word wrong or go to the wrong class. Dating your childhood best friend's enemy is not a mistake." I began walking away towards the bathroom door "You're so oversensitive." I ignored him and entered the bathroom locking the door behind me. ME OVER SENSITIVE? Okay sometimes maybe but no not in this situation. It wasn't even the fact that he dated her it's the fact he started agreeing with every bad lie and rumour she said about me. It the fact that my own best friend who I had known since birth chose a lying cheating slut over me. Tears started to cloud my vision as I remembered all the horrible things she had said about me and did to me.

Not many people believed the rumours at first but when he started dating her and ignoring me nearly everyone believed them. I remember how I would cry to my mum and beg her not to make me go back to school whenever it was the end of winter or half term breaks. If it wasn't for Violet I wouldn't be alive right now. She was the only thing that kept me somewhat together after all the rumours and my mothers death. I slowly pulled off my top and shorts with shaking hands. Double checking once again that the bathroom door was locked before turning the shower on and letting the warmth wash over.

ONE HOUR LATER

After an hour in the shower of overthinking I decided I probably should get out in case he thought I had tried to escape out the bathroom window or some shit. I towel dried my hair before putting it into two braids to hope it'll dry wavy. I had forgotten my clothes out there on my floor in my bedroom. The bedroom where Theodore was. I opened the door slightly "Do me a favour a pass my my clothes please.'' I shouted through the door with a towel wrapped around my body just in case he could see me. He didn't respond, instead he just threw my clothes from the floor at me. Well at least he did it I guess. "Prick" I spoke under my breath before closing the door and getting changed.

It had been an hour of us both just scrolling on our phones in silent except for the sounds of tiktok. I was sat on the bed while he sat on the floor. My eyes kept threatening to close as tiredness weighed down my body. But I couldn't sleep I wouldn't sleep. "Take your pills Arrabella." he remembered of course he did. Isn't it so funny when you become strangers with someone yet you can still remember everything about them. It's a blessing and a curse. "Why do you care?" even though my voice was sarcastic I half meant it. Why did he honestly care. "Because if not you won't sleep and you'll be annoying in the morning." I scoffed slightly in reply. It always has to be about him doesn't it. Instead of taking them i decided to call the gc.

Me: can anyone ft xx

V (violet): yeah x

Hols (Hollie): why are u both awake

Within seconds I pressed the ft button. Hols and V answered almost instantly. "I actually have so much to tell you guys" i kept my voice hushed hoping that Theo was too distracted by his phone to hear. "OMG SAME!" Hollie exclaimed her voice full of excitement. "You okay Arri?" Violet asked, she must have realised something was wrong because she sounded concerned. It's scary sometimes how well me and her can read each other. "What do you guys know about Voldemort's son?" he had been in my mind since earlier not in a omg i love him way but more because I'm genuinely intrigued. Hollie gasped at the question while violet just sat there as if she was in her own world. I shouldn't of mentioned his name in front of her especially because of what he did to her parents. "V I'm sorry I didn't mean to-" I started my voice going back to its normal volume by accident. I felt the bed dip down slightly on my left and someone tapping on my waist where the camera couldn't see. Yet i ignored it. "Oh you've already heard" Hollie sounded disappointed. "Heard what?" V asked while blinking her eyes trying to regain focus. "There's new students at Hogwarts this year in our year!" the excitement returned to her voice. New students but how did that relate to me asking about riddle? Unless no that couldn't happen I mean no. "Okay?" V asked, obviously confused as well. "The new students are apparently Mattheo Riddle, Lorenzo Berkshire and Tom Riddle," her voice was rushed and I could hear the sound of footsteps coming up her stairs. "Um Bye love yall." and then she just left leaving me and v together in call.
