In Love With Him

Chapter Fourteen

Tom's POV:

After classes ended. I went straight to the astronomy tower. It was the only quiet place I could actually study or read without people interrupting

I go up the stairs and sit down in a corner. I start reading a book until I hear footsteps coming up the stairs. I didn't look up who it was. I don't even care who it was

After a couple minutes, I hear them weeping. At first I didn't care, but then it started getting irritating and annoying

"Can you shut up? I'm trying to read." I scoffed

They stopped. They came closer to me. I still didn't look up who it was, I only continued reading

"This is all your damn fault, Riddle.." Of course it was her. Anyone but her. I finally looked up and I was correct. It was Weasley girl

"What was my fault exactly?"

"You kissed me! And that crazy girlfriend of yours told everyone!. Now my relationship is ruined because of you!"

"Okay and how's that my problem?" I didn't care about anything she said

"You and your little girlfriend ruined everything for me! I hate you. I hate you so much."

I was unfazed. I continue to read. She grabs my book out the random

I started getting more irritated. I got up. She walked back but I step forward, leaving a small gap between us

"Look. I don't care about anything of your love life. But what I do care, is the way your speaking to me. Now hand me my book, and there won't be any more problems between us.."

I stared into her blue eyes. But they were red and puffy. She's been crying

"Here's your pathetic book. Just, stop ruining things for me." She hands me back my book and was about to walk away until I grabbed her waist

I held a tight grip so she wouldn't walk away

"What are you doing!?" She yelled

"You've been crying?" I asked

"Why do you care?. You're the reason why I'm crying. Now let go." She started being more aggressive and resistance

"What's wrong with you? You don't act like this at all. Why are you being like this?" I scolded

Tears started forming in her eyes. "Just leave me alone." Her voice starts to crack

"Your crying over a stupid boy. He isn't made for you." I coldly chuckled

"He isn't made for me? Do you hear yourself? It's none of your business if someone is made for me or not. And what do you even know about relationships? You haven't been in one before. The only relationship you have is with your damn books."

Woah. She got me there. But I obviously didn't show it

"You're acting like a spoiled brat." I scoffed

"Me? A spoiled brat? My family is fucking poor. I'm not acting like a brat either. It's called having emotions, something you clearly don't show. So leave me the fuck alone and let me cry."

I ignored what she said. I held her closer now. Our body's were touching each other now. I could feel the warmth of her body. We both stared into each other's eyes. There was so much tension between us

"I knew it.." There was another voice. We both turned to look who it was. It was her boyfriend, well now ex boyfriend

"Elijah, it's not what it looks like." Eleanor tries to push me away but couldn't. My grip only tightened more

"You're such a damn slut. I should've known better. After everything, you still have the audacity to see him? You disgust me." He said

I looked back at Eleanor. Tears were rolling down her face. Her cheeks were getting red, her lips were trembling. She looked so blue. Like her whole world fell apart. I let go of her and back away a bit

That's when I heard Lucy's voice. "Tom. How could you do this to me.."

Oh great. This bitch can't leave me alone. "How many times do I have to tell you? I'm not your damn boyfriend and never will be." I say

"How can you say that? You know we've been dating for so long.." She dramatically says

"Bullshit. We never dated, and I wouldn't be with someone like you. You're annoying and fucking disgusting."

She starts to "cry". I ignore her and look back at Eleanor. She looked numb and a bit pale now. Her eyes were even more red and more puffy

"Why are you looking at her!? Why don't you care about me!" Lucy yells. Gosh she had a really annoying voice. What did I get myself into

"Let's go Lucy. Let these "lovebirds" be alone." Elijah says. Him and Lucy go down the stairs. Their steps were slowly fading away

I hear small sobs. She's crying again. "I think I'll just go to my dorm now. Have a good night, Riddle.." she says in a shaky and quiet voice

She was about to walk away again but I grabbed her by the wrist. "Please let go. I don't want to do this right now." Her voice starts to crack even more

I walked a bit closer to her. "Look at me." I demanded. She turns around, but looks down on the floor. "Please, I just want to be alone.."

I grab her chin and tilt her head to look up at me. "You're mad, aren't you?" She doesn't say anything. But I knew deep down, she was. She was definitely angry. This is prefect

"I can help with your anger you know? But I'll need something in return." She looked at me confused. As if she wanted to know more

"I'll help you control that pain and anger that you have inside of you and use it for the greater good. All I need in return is you helping me find my father and bringing him back."

She backs away quickly. "Are you crazy!? I can't do that!"

"But you can. You're a very wise person. And that's exactly what I need. Help me find my father, but if you reject this offer, oh darling, things will get worse for you..So what do you say? Join me or suffer the consequences."

The tension grew more intense between us. As we both stared at each other, all I could think about was what would her decision be. Will she accept my request or deny it. But at the end of the day, she'll end up facing the consequences for either one.
