Chapter 13: The Mistake

Its now a week away from the Yule Ball and Mattheo still hasn't asked me.

Me and Mattheo didn't even say we were dating or a couple Nothing! We just continued to be friends and im kinda debating on whether or not he likes me.

I go down to the great hall as normal. I sit down next to Mattheo as usual.

"Me and Blaise are going to the yule ball together!" Pansy says happily.

"congratulations!" I say happily.

"yeah we're planning on where a matching outfit!" She says looking at Blaise "who are you going with ?"  

I felt my stomach sink. I didn't even know I basically rejected everyone who asked me. Except Cedric I felt bad rejecting him so I told him I'd tell him tommarow.

"hmm" I say thinking " I don't know..." 

Once I say this Mattheo doesn't really care or try to ask me. Ugh can't he understand I want to go with him?!

"I might go with Cedric." I say knowing this would annoy him.

"Cedric!?" He said a little too quick "why!?"

"because he asked me to..." I say seeing how jealous Mattheo was getting.

Then I remembered about everything that happened that night at the astronomy tower and wanted to take it all back.

"when!?" He says seriously. He looks furious at this point.

"are you jealous Riddle?" Blaise asks smirking.

"no!" He says getting frustrated "I just -"

He sat and up leaving with his head in his hands. He leaves the great hall when I look at Blaise.

"why the fuck would you do that?!" I ask standing up.

I feel a tear roll down my cheek. I hate seeing Mattheo like this. Why did I have to speak!? I know he just gets really nervous about asking me things like that!

I hear crying getting closer. I look inside the boys bathroom and see Mattheo at the sink crying on the floor his head in his hands.

I feel tears flowing down my face. I hate seeing him like that.

I walk over to him. I can tell he's hyperventilating.

"Mattheo?" I say in a soft voice. 

"GET OUT!" He yells at me. Still not looking up.

"im sorry Mattheo." I say trying to apologize.

"I don't need your fucking sympathy!" He yells at me.

I wait a bit letting him catch his breath. I touch his hand pulling it away. I replace my hands where his were.

I look at him and smile. "im so so so so sorry Mattheo."

"im sorry." He says tears slowly pouring down "im sorry, im sorry , im sorry,.."

He continues to repeat those words over and over again removing my hands and crying into his arms still repeating these words.

I knew this wasn't his fault. I knew it was mine. But I also knew how hard it was for him to apologize. He only did it when he truly thought it was his fault.

"no," I say tears pouring down my face as well lifting his head up."this is my fault."

He doesn't listen however and continues to repeat those words.

I want to hug him so bad but I know its best to let him catch his breath first.

"look." I say as he continues to repeat those words. "im not going to the ball with Cedric."
