Monster From Hell | Tom Riddle

sixteen

I made my way down to the common room and sat down on the couch alone.

No one was here except for a few students who were reading on the opposite side of the room.

I stared into the fire and fidgeted with my fingers. I couldn't believed what I witnessed. The guy who I have been in love with for three years turned out to be abusive?

He probably isn't abusive. He probably just was overwhelmed with what I said to him earlier. Unless there was a side of him that I didn't know about. A dark side that he doesn't show. An abusive harsh side.

No, he doesn't seem the type. I'm sure he'll apologize soon. If not tomorrow.

Suddenly someone plopped down next to me. My eyes glanced over to the person.

"Hi Riddle," I sighed, "What do you want now?"

"Nothing," He said in almost a whisper voice.

"Why are you whispering," I asked.

"Because I can," He says in a sarcastic tone, "I'm just sitting down in the common room and you happen to be here."

"And you decide to sit right next to me," I said while trying to scoot away from him to stop the awkwardness.

"What's wring Victoria," Tom smirks, "Do you think I have the cooties or something?"

"Shut up Riddle. I'm not in the mood," I groaned.

"Oh, she's not in the mood she said,"

"I'm serious," I snapped.

"She's seriously," Tom nods his head and smirks at me.

"Fuck you," I muttered.

"What was that darling?" He asks.

"Fuck y- never mind," I rolled my eyes and continued to stare into the crackling fire which was dying out.

"Victoria," I heard Tom's deep voice from the right of me.

I ignored him and continued to stare into the fire.

"Victoria." He snaps his fingers in front of my eyes, "I don't like being ignored."

"What Tom?" I snapped, "What do you need that so important right now?"

"I just wanted to ask you uh-," He tried to grab my face, but I moved away quickly, "What's that on your face?"

I almost forgot what happened in Ryder's dorm earlier. I mean of course I don't forget what happened, but I forgot at the same time.

"It's nothing Tom, you're probably just seeing things," I covered my face with my hand.

"It's something if your covering your face," He nods his head.

"It's nothing Tom, could you leave me alone?" I snapped while standing up off the couch.

"I just want to know what happened," Tom starts following me towards the girls dormitories.

"Nothing Tom," I muttered.

"Victoria, tell me what-" Tom starts before I cut him off.

"Tom, why do you fucking care about the mark on my face? Why? Why do you care? Huh? Do you care that I told Ryder about you and I going to the ball together and it ended up with him hitting me?! No Tom, you don't care because you don't have a heart? Fuck you Tom! You ruined everything!" I ran off to my dorm leaving Tom there, speechless.

Tears filled my eyes. It felt like one moment my life was completely normal, I meet Tom Riddle, then my life starts crashing down right before my eyes.

I don't think anyone talked to Tom like that, considering that almost everyone in the school was afraid of him.

I opened the door to my dorm. Pansy wasn't there, her unmade bed sat empty in the room. I flopped down onto my pillow facedown.

Everything was happening at once. First I find out that I have to go to the yule ball with that monster, then the whole schools knows, my boyfriend gets made at me and now I have to deal with Tom again.

I feel so alone right now, isolated, mad, sad, tired, and upset. All of the negative feeling stab into my back.

I guess things aren't as bad compared to when my mom died

Then there was a knock at the door.

"Go away Tom," I yelled.

"It's actually me," A familiar voice comes from be hind the door.

"Ryder?" I mumbled under my breath. I swiftly walk to the door. Maybe everything wasn't so bad after all.

I opened the door to see Ryder standing there with my books in his hands. It doesn't seem like he was crying a whole lot. In fact it seems like he wasn't crying at all.

"I just wanted to tell you that you left you books in my dormitories, He hands me the books. I placed them down in the floor quietly, "See you later."

My hand reached out and hit his face. Ryder held the side of his face in pain.

"What was that for?" He whispered.

"You come to my dorm after an hour just to return my books and not say sorry?!" I exclaim.

"What did you expect?" He furrowed his eyebrows, "I'm not sorry."

"Get out now," I slammed the door in his face and swiftly walked over to my bed. Tears filled my eyes again.

I take that back. Everything was bad.

He could have at least said sorry and walked away. I would still particularly forgive him. It wouldn't be a lot, but at least it would be something.

...

After about a half hour of laying in bed doing nothing but staring at the ceiling, I got changed into my pajamas and crawled into my bed.

It was about 8 o clock. Pansy still hasn't come to the dorm. Maybe she was with Draco.

No matter how much I tried to fall asleep, I couldn't. Thoughts ran through my mind like a treadmill which seem to be going faster every second.

The door swung open and someone turned on the light. It was Pansy, "Hey Vic. What's wrong? You look sad. Is everything alright?"

"I'm fine Pansy," I sighed and turned over and closed my eyes.

I guess she must've saw the mark on my face because the next thing you know she asks, "What's that mark on your face?"

"Ryder hit me," I announced with no hesitation.

"He what?!" Pansy exclaims and rushes over to me, "What happened?"

"He hit me," I mumbled.

"I know, but why did he hit you?" She asks.

"I t-told him about what happened in Mcgonagall's office and h-he hit me. Just like that, and he told me to leave. He thinks that I asked Tom to the yule ball instead of what i actually told him which was Tom and I being forced to go to the yule ball together." I explained.

"That's stupid of him," Pansy muttered, "Did he apologize to you yet?"

"No, he dropped off my books earlier. I hit him back because he only showed up to bring me my books and not apologize."

"Well good job because that bitch deserved it," Pansy smiles, "Goodnight Victoria," Pansy turned of the light.

"Good night, Pansy."
