After Math
Y/n's POV
I woke up in my bed with no one around. The girls must have stayed some where else. I leaned up and immediatly felt a throb in my head. My shirt was draped way over my body and my pants were the flannels i only wore when i wanted to look casual in pajamas. I looked around and saw I wans't the only person in my room. I would have never been uncomfortable but it came back to me. I was raped last night. That set me off and tears flowed uncontrolably. Whoever was here heard me and sprung up.
A large hand was placed onto my back. My mind was racing through the events. I felt as if it was my fault. I fell backwards and into whoever was here. I was now hyperfentating. I couldn't see as the tears were blocking my view. But my hair was slowly being played with and a voice could now be heard.
"Orabelle, you will be okay. Nothing that happened is your fault. Don't ever think like that" He said. Mattheo. I recognised his voice. Somehow he made me calm and I felt my breathing become normal once again. He layed me onto my bed again and got up. "I'm going to get you something to eat and some water. Then I'll find Alice and Pansy" Mattheo smiled and left the room. I picked up my headphones and got my book.
I flipped to the last few pages. It was so interesting. A warrior queen who was fighting to save her kingdom from her king. I knew that the story wouldn't end with your typical happy ending but somehow, I knew it would be okay. I was rooting for the queen since day one. The story started with her being the bad guy. She was trying to take over a kingdom that wasn't her's. But it was quickly shown how bad the king was. He only wanted control and power.
"Give up. You will never be good enough for this castle" He shouted at the wounded queen. She had blood dripping down her side and her sword was pressed deep into the ground for support. The king had succesfuly taken her power and planned to use it to his control. But this was the end. The queen knew it. She laughed as tears came down her face. A smile, a true smile, was finely seen. The princess came running up the mountain and saw her parents, both fighting and nearly dead.
"Dear, you must understand. I never wanted to stop you from being the king. I just wanted to be equals. Show our daughter what was meant to be of royals. But now I have no magic, giving you all the power. So now, I have no choice. I'm not giving up. Instead, I'm making a sacrifice for the both of us. So, I'm very sorry. And I love you" She said as the queen took her sword and pushed it through her husband. Before he could heal himself, she flung them off the mountain peak. The queen and king died in eachothers arms, finally realising the waste this battle had been. They only ever needed each other. The end.
I smiled to myself as I closed the book. It was easy to get caught up in the strange reality that one person alone can survive with only themselves. But this book clearly showed the point that people need eachtoher. I looked at my ipod and realized how perfect my music fit with the ending. Welcome Home, Son by Radical Face was the song that was playing and I knew it couldn't have been better.
Mattheo came in and saw me staring at my book. He immediatly set the food down and came to me, probably thinking I was in a trance, to help me. I laughed and hugged him. He seemed immediatly taken a back. Soon, I felt his arms wrap around me. I smiled into the crook of his neck. I whispered thank you and I know he heard it. He gave me my food and got up to find the girls.
"Wait" I called out. He stopped and turned to look at me. "Um.. Could you maybe... stay here? I just.. I don't want to be alone. But the girls will um... they'll... they'll question me. Want to know everything about what happened" I looked down at my hands. I heard the door shut and the bed dipped next to me. I smiled and looked up at Mattheo. He took my hand in his and I rested my head on his shoulder. It was very peaceful for a while. But he could tell I was starting to become tired again. I moved and slid under the covers.
Mattheo went to leave again but I grabbed his hand before he could leave. I kept my eyes shut hoping he got the message. Luckily, he did and layed next to me. He wraped an arm around me and I slowly fell asleep. But as soon as I did, the nightmares came. I was back at the ball.
Looking around, the scene was the same. Only when I tried to move, I couldn't. I saw as the boy danced with me and then gave me a drink. I recognised him finally. Harry Potter. I watched the anger in Mattheo's eyes as I danced. But then the drama began. I was tripping and slurring my words. Harry carried me off and no one saw. Pansy and Alice were dancing with each other and hadn't seen me disapear. I tried to call to them but they didn't hear me. I recognised the room as we entered. The only sound was my yelling and pleading. But nothing came. And it all repeated.
I woke up and sat sobbing. Mattheo was quick to comfort me again. I was crying so much after that but I only thought of how disgusting I felt. I had let this happen to me. A headache came and I knew Mattheo was reading my thoughts. He seemed shocked by everything but something angered him. He saw who had done this to me. I just cried and pulled him into a hug. He soothed me as I cried but I knew what was on his mind. Mattheo wanted to get revenge on Harry for doing this to me. But for now, I just wanted to rest. Tommorow Harry would regret his actions.
