Bad Romance

Team Tom

I wasn't about to double upload tonight but y'all are baby. Enjoy<3.
-From Tom's POV-

May something??

The date today doesn't matter; we leave school in the morning and don't return until the fall.

I'm in a bad mood, but then again, that's everyday isn't it? I went into Y/n's room this morning- she never locks her room, weirdo- and when I got there, she was sleeping. It was weird, because she looked so peaceful. Anytime we were together and she fell asleep in my arms, she always looked on edge, tense. Like she could jolt awake at any minute. But in her own room, alone, after we broke up she looked like she was tethered to that pillow and blanket. I was going to tell her that I was sorry for bad mouthing her and that I actually waned to write back and forth with her over the summer, but then her stupid big lizard woke her up and I just chickened out. Something about that girl makes me act so out of character. Before her? I would've never chickened out. I would've just said it, actually I wouldn't have apologized, but I would have told her what I wanted. It slightly stung when she woke up and was mad at me already, she's rather cute when she just wakes up.  Something about her attitude and messy hair and baggy eyes and groggy voice is cute to me and I'm honestly not sure why, like, at all.

It stung even more when I caught a glimpse of her and Malfoy again. I can see that they're still just friends, but honestly, I knew Malfoy couldn't help but be in love with her. Whether or not he had come to terms with it or not, I of all people know what being in love with her is like. The bitter sweetness stings, because she's stubborn and makes you chase her, but then when she finally gives in and slips up during those small moments of vulnerability, you just want to marry her.

I've just realized that I've shared far too much about her in here. I need to get over her, so it's best I stop writing about her and leave her alone and don't write her over summer; that'd be best for both of us.

"Are you done writing in your stupid diary?" Draco asked annoyed from a bed over. I shut the book and slid it under my pillow.

"Yes you miscreant." I say as I start to lean over to turn out the lamp.

"It's about time. I've been trying to sleep this whole time and the light was so annoying." he complains I roll my eyes lightly and adjust my blankets some. "You were probably writing about Y/n, weren't you?" he mumbles, and I just barely catch it.

"And you're probably hoping you dream about her, aren't you?" I retort. I hear him shift around in his bed some and then I hear him better

"What's your deal, Riddle? We were on somewhat good terms and now we can't stand each other." he says.

"Well, you've been in love with my girlf- my ex-girlfriend almost as long as I was. Or I am." I say.

"You think I was in love with her the whole time you guys were together??" he asks me.

"Yes, I do. I think you're like, a dark horse, in this situation. Once you realized she does- did, have feelings for me, you backed off because, well, I'm me. But now that I'm out of the way and she's open, this is your chance. As someone who was once the 'apple of her eye', I know what it looks like to be in love with her and to want her to feel the same way back." I tell him. I was expecting him to come back with some sly comment, but he doesn't. He says nothing. "You might have her over the summer, but you do realize, I'm going to get her back one day, right?" I tell him and that pulls something out of him.

"But what if she doesn't want you??" he asks me.

"Malfoy, you just said what if, that's it, right there. It's not affirmative in anyone's mind that she doesn't, and that speaks volumes." I say and I hear him let out a soft sigh and it goes quiet again. "Malfoy? One more thing. If you ever do anything to her, I promise you that I will kill you." I say firmly so he knows I'm being serious, because I am. He doesn't say anything, so I turn back around to face the wall and quickly fall asleep.
