heartache - mattheo riddle

i'm woken up by doors slamming, i glance over at my clock and see that it's already 7:45 so it's about time to get up

my head still hurts, but i manage to make my way over to my bathroom sink to wash my face.

the second i see myself in the mirror i'm in shock. my eye is purple and puffy, and my lip is red and swollen. i can see dried blood on my lip still sitting there from last night.

what the fuck am i going to do?

i wash my face gently, and try to use makeup to cover it up but it won't cover.
no matter how much concealer i layer on my skin it's no use.

i remove all the makeup and put on some sunglasses to cover my eye, and try my best to cover my lip

once i'm dressed in my robe, i spray myself with perfume and grab my bag, before i disapparate outside of hogwarts

i walk through the entrance of the building and straight up to my dorm, avoiding everyone and everything.

i see dracos sister dahlia but ignore her, we used to be best friends and she was a really sweet girl, but her and pansy switched up on my for some odd reason, that i still don't know

'hi mira' i hear draco say as i'm walking through the common room

'hey draco' i smile

'here let me help you' draco offers, grabbing my bag and walking up the stairs. 'thanks' i say as i follow behind him

'it's no problem. but can i ask one thing?' he asks me

'yes?' i answer confused

'what happened to you lip... and why are you wearing sunglasses inside?' he asks

'oh, uh. that's a good question.' i say, struggling to think of an answer

'i know' he says, reaching for my face and snatching my glasses before i could stop him

he looks at me shocked for a second, and hands me back my glasses

'mira... what happened?' he asks me sympathetically

'it's nothing really, thank you for you help draco.' i say, grabbing my bag and opening the door to my dorm

'mira.' he says sternly, shoving past my door and following me

'it was my father. okay?' i snap at him

'i'm sorry.' draco tells me, stepping closer to me 'i'm so sorry mira' he says as he pulls me into a hug

'it's not your fault' i say

'yes it is. if i had stayed this wouldn't have happened' he says into my shoulder, still hugging me tightly

'you have you own life, don't worry about it draco it's totally normal. i'm used to it' i reassure him

'okay' is all he says, so i just smile, secretly hoping he will leave so i can unpack all my stuff, to which he does

-

it's been a couple hours, and i'm laying on my bed by myself. sometimes i wish i didn't push everyone away. being alone in my dorm, whilst everyone else is sharing with their friends is so beyond boring.

i've got barely any friends, yet i'm still called "popular" which makes no sense at all. my only friend is draco, and sometimes enzo depending on my mood.

i hope now that i'm back, things can change for me.

i decide to leave my dorm, and find someone to pass time with. maybe one of the girls, like pansy, maybe find out why she suddenly hates me so much? i haven't had the chance to speak with her because my dad pulled me out of school so instantly. i never got to say bye to anyone.
