"Anna!" My dad yells drunkly. I rolled my eyes and went to him.
"Yes sir."
"Give me more corona."
"No, you had to much." I said and he angrily got up from the sofa.
"How many times have I told you to obey. Huh you don't listen." He yelled.
"Well ,I guess this is why mom left us. Because of you I have no mom. Thanks a lot."
SMACK
"You don't talk to me like that. Never, hey get back here." He said as I decided to run away. My left cheek burns from the burning sensation of the smack. I ran as fast as my legs could take me. I apparated to Hogwarts. Since it's the summer time, nobody's here. I opened the gates and went to the teacher I trusted the most: Professor Slughorn. I ran to his room. I felt tears fall, but I could care less. I burst into his room and saw my arch enemy, Tom Riddle.
"Ah Anna, what do I, oh what happened to your cheek?" I ran to him and hugged him. I sobbed into his chest and he hugged me back. I talked but was muffled into his jacket. He pulled back.
"What happened? Here let me get ice." He put ice on my cheek and I hissed at the sensation.
"My dad well smacked my face. Well he gets drunk every week and that why I.......... I don't have my mom anymore. She left me and my dad." I said and looked down. Slughorn brought my chin up.
"You, Anna are the most brilliant girl I have ever met. Don't listen to you father, and I'm so sorry about your mother. Here I'll go get some more ice. I'll be back." He said and left me with Tom. I looked at him and he was starring at me, creep. I got up and went to a mirror. I saw my cheek and gasped. It was red and bruised. I tear escaped my eye and another. I fell to the floor and sobbed uncontrollably. Tom saw and went by my side.
"What are you doing?" I asked. He looked up at me with those gorgeous blue eyes.
"Helping you." He said and hugged my side. I hugged back.
"I know how it must feel. I lost my mother and father." He said.
"I'm sos sorry."
"Don't be." He then looked at my left arm. I froze. That arm I had scratches I made with knives. He pulled it up while looking at me.
"How long have you've been doing this?" I looked up at him. Instead of looking cold, he was concerned and soft.
"About a week." I said and he pulled out his wand and healed them.
"I'm back. Oh, did I ruin something?" Slughorn asked while looking at me then Tom.
"No." I said. He smirked and handed Tom the ice. He gladly took it and put it gently on my face.
"I'll take her to the common room, Professor. Good night." Tom said and gently held my arm. I went along with him and saw the moonlight through the window. I stopped and looked. Tom also stopped and saw me.
"Come on Winters."
"Please don't call me that. It's just to bearable to hear, I can't." I said and Tom went next to me. He put a hand on my waist. I looked at him and he smirked at me.
"I won't, Anna." I chuckled and looked at the stars.
"Don't you think I'll be pretty one this bruise is gone?" I teased.
"Yes. I think you'll go back to being beautiful." He said and smirked. I blushed at his remark. He pulled me closer and my breath hitched. I turned me around so I was facing him. He looked into my eyes.
"You know we're supposed to be arch enemies." I said while looking at his eyes.
"I know." He chuckled. He looked at my lips then eyes. I did the same to. He pulled my waist and kissed me. I kissed back. But didn't notice that he was actually enjoying it.
The two kissed the night away, unaware that a specific teacher watching Tom.
