Imagination (Christian Collins fanfiction)

Chapter 3

I woke up to jumping on the bed again. I sat up and Christian was hopping excitedly on the bed. Oh yeah, I fell asleep at his house.

"Gotta get up. The flight is in two hours." He said and hopped off the bed. I glanced at the clock and it was 3 in the morning. ARE YOU KIDDING?!

"How do you have so much energy right now?" I asked rolling off the bed because I didn't want to stand up. Chris picked me up off the floor, "You're too light."

"I know, stop pointing it out." I said and jumped out of his arms. "I don't know how I have so much energy. Excited maybe."

On the other hand, I don't have any energy. "I have to go get my suitcase." I said but just stood there. "No you don't, I got it." He said and pointed to it on the floor.

"Thanks." I said and flopped back on the bed. "Noooo get up." He said and pulled me up by my waist.

We stood there smiling at each other while he held me up by my waist.

But I started laughing and that caused him to laugh. "Why are we laughing?"

"I have no idea." I answered honestly. I really don't know why I laughed. "We should head to the airport. I'll take our bags to the car." He said and grabbed our stuff.

I went to the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. Gosh why am I so ugly? I guess I'm not ugly but I'm definitely not beautiful. I guess I'm decent?

I was wearing sweatpants and almost forgot how I got them on because I fell asleep in jeans. I was half awake and Christian brought be sweatpants. He's so sweet.

We've been friends for so long that he has stuff for me here for when I come over. It's kind of weird how we've been friends for so long, but now I have a massive crush on him.

I brushed my teeth and put my hair up in a messy ponytail because I didn't want to deal with it. "Hey gorgeous, ready to go?" Christian said, leaning against the door frame.

"One, no ew, two, yeah let me just get my phone." I said. He nodded and left the room.

I grabbed my phone and I had a twitter notification,

@WeeklyChris mentioned you: "Beautiful 😍 @Nikki_tho" *link to a picture*

I went to it and it was a picture of me sleeping. He got me back. I laughed and retweeted it. I ran downstairs and got in the car.

I glared at Christian and he laughed. "I told you I would get you back." He winked. I got butterflies when he winked.

ThE tHiNgS tHiS bOy DoEs To Me.

"We're going to Starbucks." Christian said and I glanced up at him. "Why?" Not that I didn't want to...

"Because you're really tired and I don't want to be alone on the flight." He said and pulled up to the drive through.

"Can I get a venti caramel frap?" He memorized my order. GOSH I LOVE HIM. Wait what?

He handed me my drink and I smiled, "Thank you, Chris." I smiled. He smiled back and we drove to the airport.

Security wasn't bad. It went by fast actually. While we waited for the flight, I laid my head on Christian's shoulder. He smiled and took a picture of us,

@WeeklyChris: "Tour with my best friend 😍 come see us! @Nikki_tho"

Then he got a text from someone. I read the name and I'm not sure if it was a girls name or not, pretty sure Ashton can be a girl or guy name.

"Can't wait to see you 😍." Christian smiled and replied, "Already through security, meet me here?"

I started getting nervous because it's obviously a girl. But what do I care? We're just best friends...

"What's wrong?" He asked. Oh crap, was I crying? Yep, yep I'm crying. I quickly wiped my eyes.

"Whaaat? Psh I'm fine." Wow I'm bad at this. He looked at me extremely confused. "You're not fine. Nikki I know you, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing." I said looking down.

"Nicole you're not okay, please tell me."

Too many questions. I started having a hard time breathing, "Christian please stop I can't breathe." His eyes widened, "Oh crap, you're having an anxiety attack."

"No crap, Sherlock." I have really bad anxiety.

I dropped to the floor and started crying into my my hands. Why now? Seriously?

Chris dropped next to me and had one arm around my back and one hand on the back of my head.

"Shhh, you're okay... You're okay it's okay." I sat there while he held me. I've always had bad anxiety, my mom tried medication once and it didn't help. Christian was always the only thing that helped me calm down.

I finally stopped crying but Chris kept holding me. "Are you okay now?" He asked with a worried tone in his voice. He always got worried when I had anxiety attacks.

On a couple occasions he cried because of how bad they were. He's so sweet and I would be lost without him.

I nodded and he pulled away. He grabbed my face and kissed my forehead. I instantly got butterflies and we stood up and sat back down. There aren't many people around so that's good.

"Christian!" A perky girl voice yelled. Christian looked up and smiled. I looked up and there was the gorgeous blonde with bright blue eyes walking towards us.

Christian stood up and hugged her. Errmm, who is this? "Who is this?" The girl asked looking at me, "Ashton, this is my best friend Nikki, Nikki," he paused and took a deep breathe which made me nervous.

"This is my girlfriend Ashton."

And just like that, my heart shattered.
