He suddenly changed. The Mattheo they had always known — their best friend — was now acting like a stranger for months. One day, he simply stopped talking to them without any explanation. At first, they thought he needed some time alone. But when they saw him, hanging out with Draco and the others, something felt off. They tried to talk to him but he kept ignoring them. Months passed and the sting of it grew sharper. They were so close before, how could it have changed in a heartbeat ?

After waiting for him to come back, when they finally saw him alone, they decided they had the right to have to know. So they hurried to him, grabbed his arm and led him to an empty classroom. They positioned themselves in front of the door so he couldn’t leave so easily. Their eyes were locked — yet both were different. He was looking at them with no emotion, like they didn’t even matter a bit. They stared back with a mix of anger, pain and confusion. But they didn’t wait longer to ask, demanding an answer.

"Why ? Why did you stop talking to me out of nowhere ?"

"Did you forget it ? You promised me this… you’ll always look out for me."

He rolled his eyes, dismissing it as if it was insignificant and spoke coldly.

"I don’t remember."
