Goodnight Princess

Chapter 4

Y/N POV

    I teach Theo how to play war and trash. I can tell he is super competitive, but he was still sweet and didn't mind when I won but if it was anyone else he would not be as happy as he was. I can tell he really cares about me. After dinner and a few more rounds of cards we just talked. We talked for hours. Never running out of things to say. He was supportive and never judged me. When I talk to people I always felt like I had to tread lightly but not with him. I can just say what I feel and he wont judge me. I have never felt so comfortable with someone, he makes me feel safe.

    I grow tired and I slowly fall asleep with him next to me. And for once I sleep peacefully with no dreams pledging my still state. I later felt the weight of his body move off the bed and I assumed he went home. I mean he deserved it. He had stayed here all day with me and he should get some sleep too.

Mattheo POV

     I got up and walked to the bathroom. I went to  Malfoy Manor. I went to my room to grab some clothes, a black t-shirt, sweatpants and a matching hoodie. Then I left a note saying I would not be home for a couple days. Then I grabbed a couple other things that I would need. And changed into pj's.

    I then apparate back to the hospital. I was gone for maybe five - ten minutes. I lay down on the couch and fell asleep.

Y/N POV

I wake up and there he is laying on the couch in different clothes and a bag at his feet but he is still here. A smile crept up on my face seeing that he had stayed with me. I get up and quietly go to the bathroom. When I get back he is starting to stir. He sits up to see that I am sitting up on the edge of my bed. He smiles his amazing smile and walks over sitting next to me.   

"Good morning princess" he says sweetly

I smiled and laughed a little as it was the first time he had called me that. "Morning Theo".  I respond with my own nickname. The smile on his face made my heart melt. His eyes lit up and he looked like he could never be happier. I know if anyone else called him that he would probably punch them but when it was me... That just shows how much he cares about me. Today was Sunday. And I was due to leave tomorrow morning when I wake up. As we talked I learned that he had never seen a movie. So we decided to watch Beauty and the Beast, Princess Bride which is my favorite movie and The Hunger Games because he requested more action. It turned out to be his favorite out of the movies that we watched. We then played a round of, Never Have I Ever, I won by a lot, which kind of scares me.    

For dinner he ordered us Olive Garden and went to go pick it up. Since we were both tired of the hospital food, he insisted that I eat. I was tired so I fell asleep while he lay on the couch reading the book he brought for me. He fell asleep later.

When I woke up the next morning I was discarded and when I asked about the hospital bill knowing that my parents wont pay it. They said that it had been anonymously paid for.     

"Where are we heading?" Theo asked as we walked out of the door.

"Well school starts in an hour so we should probably start heading there." I say walking toward the road.

"You just got out of the hospital and you want to go straight to school?"   

"Yes?"

"Well how about we apparate back to your house and you can shower and I can run home and do the same then I will come back to get you."

"Ok that works, I guess"

We then head back to the house he leaves as I grab clothes and get into the shower. When I have fixed my hair I walk back out in a sweat suit trying to hide as much as I can, even though it is like 80 degrees outside. I walk out and he is sitting on the bed with his hair wet. He looks up at me.   

"No you're not going in that, go change" He says while walking over to my dresser.

             He grabs  this outfit

Handing it to me, I sigh, taking it back into the bathroom. I put it on and looked into the mirror to see that some of my stitches were visible along with the bruises that cover my body. I walk out and he looks at me with sad eyes when he sees all of my injuries. He said that it looked a lot better and that we should get going so we aren't late. He grabs my arm and we appear in the back parking lot. We walk to class and I get a lot of weird looks. We sit down at the back of the room like normal.

    "Everyone is looking at me" I say in my head.

"Don't worry. It's fine," he replied reassuringly.

We went through the day and now we are in English class. The teacher gave us a free class so everyone is walking around while the teacher is sitting in the opposite corner reading her book completely oblivious to what was happening around her. Theo was in the bathroom and I was sitting in the corner. And Ben walked up behind me and grabbed me, pulling me up and toward him. He had his arms around my stomach purposely pushing as hard as he could on the visible bruises and stitches. Mattheo walks in but there is a crowd around us now so we see him before he sees us. So Ben grabs my neck with one hand, his other still at my waist. He started to choke me as he pulled on my stitches causing them to come undone and bleed. I stand there trying to hide the pain that is overwhelming my senses as Theo walks to the front of the crowd.

"Let her go." He yells as it gets harder to breathe. I pass out from lack of air, the last thing I see before I blackout is his face contorted in rage but a safe haven nonetheless. Soon I start to fall to the ground as I hear a grunt. I assume Theo probably punched him. He caught me softly and put me down on the ground. He sits next to me as I come back around. I see Ben hitting him in the back of the head. I see Mattheo shielding me with his body. He looks like he's trying so hard not to fight back.

"Talk to me, distract me from ripping him to a pulp" I hear in my head.

"Hey look at me I'm right here, I'm fine" I say out loud this time.

"You're not fine you're bleeding again"

"I will be fine. Just concentrate on my voice."

After a few minutes Ben realized that he was not going to get any further reaction out of us he walked away under the impression that he had won. He was wrong. He had more injuries than Mattheo.

We walked to the nurses office and got cleaned up. At the end of the day he walked me to my house before he had to go back to the manor. Since he had not been home in a couple of days, he had stayed with me at the hospital. I went to my room, changed my bandages then lay down to sleep.
