Wrong Timeline || Mattheo Riddle

Chapter 6- In My Dorm (Edited)

Saturday:

Avery's POV:

I was getting changed back into my pajamas when I heard a knock at my dorm. "Give me a second!" I yelled and put on my shirt.

I ran over to the door and saw Mattheo outside. "Shocker to see you here." I let him in but he had his head low. I closed the door once he was inside. I turned around and saw his face. My eyes widened.

"What happened to you?" I asked concerned.

I went over to the bathroom and got a cloth. I soaked it in warm water them squeezed it to make it damp. I ran over to Mattheo sitting on my bed and brushed the cloth over his cuts.

"I had something to take care of." He replied nonchalantly.

"Did it have to do with what happened in the forest?" I asked getting more curious. Who would he even have got into a fight with in the forest? Everybody is back home. But, now thinking about it apparently someone stayed back.

"It doesn't concern you." He shrugged. For someone who's helping him he's being a real asshole to me. How do his friends put up with him?

"Yeah alright. I was in the forest too, so if it had to do with something that happened there, it really does concern me." I snapped back.

When I looked down at his hand they were curled up like a fist. I felt bad for snapping while he was clearly in pain.

"Open your hand." I sighed. When he didn't budge I placed my hand on his fist. At first he was hesitant but he listened. He looked away when the warm damp cloth brushed over an open wound. I grabbed his face and turned it so he's facing me.

"All you need to know is that I went back to the woods." He gave in. I was shocked. Why would someone ever do that. That's basically a death wish.

"You went back?" He nodded. "That's so stupid. I thought you would at least be more careful about it." I pressed the cloth to a cut on the arch of his nose. He tightly shut his eyes in pain and I continued to clean up his cuts.

When I was done cleaning him up I realized his shirt had some blood stains on it in a few places. I went over to my dresser and pulled out a grey shirt.

"Take off your shirt." I demanded not looking at him.

I could just tell a smirk grew on his face. "If you wanted to see me naked you could just ask." He joked.

"Okay fine. If you want to walk around with a bloody shirt that's fine. I'm not the one who's gonna be asked questions later." I shrugged and walked over to my desk. His smirk disappeared and he looked annoyed.

"I'll take the shirt." He huffed in annoyance. I threw the shirt at his face and he caught it. When he took off his shirt I could see his abs and scars.

I went over to the bathroom to wash the cloth and Mattheo followed from behind. He came behind me and placed his hands on my waist. I froze in place. His touch was so... warm.

"What exactly are you trying to do right now?" I asked and unfroze.

"I quite like this view." He chuckled while looking at us in the mirror. I sighed and turned off the faucet. I turned around and was now leaning against the counter sink. His hands were still on my waist and he was looking down at me.

"You're a hoe. You know that?" I pushed my way out of his grip and garbed the shirt laying on my bed. He followed me out but stopped at the doorframe. "Put this on." I demanded and threw him the shirt.

I watched as he put the shirt on and god was he so-

"Enjoying the show love?" Mattheo looked at me and raised a brow. He snapped me back to reality and away from my disturbing thoughts.

"It would've been a better show you had a eight pack." I started to smirk as his started to fade.

"Ha ha laugh all you want." He scoffed.

"Do my little comments bother you so much?" I asked while starting to head out.

"In your dreams Salazar."

We headed to the common room to meet Kate and Theo. While we were walking down the stairs The two stopped mid sentence and Kate jumped up from the couch.

"There you two are!" Kate looked over at us worried. "Mattheo, your face." She examined it from where she was.

"It was nothing" He shrugged it off.

"Damn mate, I bet you did a number on him." Theo laughed and put his arm around Mattheo. They started laughing and whispering behauend Kaye and I.

Who could they be talking about? And how come Theo could know but I can't? This is what I get for being to nice.

We all walked to the kitchen in silence until a Theo decided to break it.

"So, where were you guys?" Theo asked us. Mattheo and I looked at each other.

"In my dorm." I said calmly. Kate slowly shook her head in an approving way.

"Doing what?" Kate asked. It's as if these two planned this interrogation.

"She was helping me clean up." Mattheo blurted. I mean he wasn't wrong. That is all that happened.

Theo and Kate both nodded in a curious way. These two seem like they're up to something.
