I am a Riddle | Draco Malfoy, 18+

S i x t e e n,

The loud slam of the door forced closed made my body flinch, my spine flew off the mattress as I looked at him, seeing his back bent, his forehead against the wood,

'' Fuck—,'' He frustratingly shouted, his fist heavily collided with the timber, over and over and over again,

I crawled back, my eyes wide in panic as I called out for him, '' Draco—,''

He flung around, eyes broad as his jaw dropped, ''Leiah—,'' He stepped close, kneeling next to the bed, '' It's alright,''

I shook my head, my knees dragged up to my chest, '' Where am I?'' I whispered, trying to grip what had passed, why I was here,

Draco hunched down on the bed, close to me as he wrapped an arm around my struggling self, '' The teachers wanted to bring you to your room, but I—,''

He quieted down, his head rested on mine, '' I didn't—, I couldn't let them,''

'' I needed to make sure that you were safe,'' - and then it hit me, this was his room, the room I only visited once before the first time the blonde one managed to hurt me,

'' So I took you here, to my room,''

My fingers twitched as I peered up at him, his eyes swollen, red, his bottom lip slightly quivering, '' Are you alright, Draco?''

He raised a brow, the arm wrapped around me tensed at my question, '' Am I alright?'' He scoffed, '' You're the one who passed out, and you're asking me if I'm alright?''

He seemed more than surprised, almost bothered that I dared to ask him such a question, but I had to — he had been crying, his pale skin was drained, '' Why have you been—,''

I gasped as I clocked the bruised jaw, my hands dipped to grasp his, noticing the swelled, bloody knuckles, '' No, no, no, Draco—,''

'' Draco, tell me you didn't—,''

'' Tell me you didn't do this,''

The blonde-one stayed hushed, tearing his eyes from mine as guilt climbed his front — his jaws clenched, '' He fucking kissed you—,''

'' I told him to stay away, and what does he do? He kissed you,''

My eyes waved, my hands forced into the sheets as I pushed myself off the mattress, '' Tell me what you did, Draco. Tell me what you did right now,'' I nearly begged him, needing to know what he did to Adrian, to know where he'd left him,

'' He kissed you—,''

'' Yes, he did, he fucking kissed me, Draco, and what am I supposed to do about that now?'' I snapped, my hands rushing through my hair, hauling it back in defeat, '' What do you want me to do? You didn't want me. You told me that this—,'' My fingers gesturing to the both of us,

'' That this would never happen, so what? I can't move on? I can't meet someone without you, completely losing your mind?''

'' He fucking kissed—,''

'' I. don't. care, Draco,''

He stood tall, taking long strides up to me, his hands clenched around my waist as he pulled me in, '' Only I can kiss you—,''

My eyes matched his, my lower lip sucked in between my teeth as I thought of it, what he had done, moments before I kissed Adrian,

His hand,

Placed in hers,

His words, '' I can never be yours,'' Echoed more than loudly,

He didn't want me,
