'if i take you to my past , you would be traumatised'

it's been a week and me and mattia are back to completely ignoring each other. he stopped coming to the tower so i had it all to myself again. i saw him sneaking out with louisa a few times and id be lying if i said it didnt hurt me. but it did. and i dont know why. I'd hung around with aiden for a couple days because he was in the practice room when i was. hes really fucking boring. i think i might be missing mattia's company a little bit. whatever.

we'd finished training for today in our usual silence and miss blaumen called us up to her desk.

"i don't know what's up with you both but you need to fix it" she said and me and him looked away from eachother.

"im done trying with her" he shrugged and walked out the room.

"so im assuming you were in the wrong?" she asked me with a small smile.

"i dont understand him" i sighed.

"well, i think you know what you need to do?"

"he wont care"

"he will, its very obvious he cares about you"

"no he doesn't-"

"i think that's where you're wrong miss mcknight"

"ill try" i sighed and she gave me a thumbs up and i left.

i went up to the tower for a bit to think and then got out a piece of paper and a pen and scribbled down a note.

'come to the tower'

i left the tower and made my way to his dorm and dodged the patrolers. i stood outside his door and took the note out my pocket and slipped it under his door. kairi was with jess so i knew mattia was in there. i quickly left and made my way back to the tower.

i sat there for 30 minutes and he still hadn't arrived. guess hes not coming. i don't care. yes i do. stfu.

10 minutes later the door opened and there he was, his hair a little wet. he shut the door and stood infront of me.

"what?" he said, not looking at me.

"okay im sorry i yelled at you" i said.

"great" he said and turned around and was about to walk out but i grabbed his arm.

"why are you being like that" i asked.

"why is it so easy for you to hang out with aiden when you claim to hate mavericks, but it took you a week to even look in my direction without rolling your eyes?" he said and i was confused.

"i saw you guys in the shooting room the other day, you seemed to be getting along well" he added, looking a but annoyed.

"mavericks aren't as bad as polibios" i said simply.

"what the fuck did we ever do to you! you always talk about hating the polibios but won't give me an actual reason as to why?!" he said in annoyance.

"mattia just shut up-" i said firmly, trying to stay calm.

"no, why do you always avoid the question, if you're gonna hate us at least have a fucking reason-"

"THEY KILLED MY MUM INFRONT OF ME MATTIA" i yelled, shutting him up. i felt my blood boiling and i didnt feel okay at all.

he was speechless for a second, his eyes wide when he finally understood why i couldn't stand him or his family.

i felt my breathing increase as i held back the tears in my eyes and suddenly i felt his arms wrap around me and held me tight.
