Imagination (Christian Collins fanfiction)

Chapter 19

"You know how Lillian showed up?" I asked nervously.

"Yeah? What about her?"

"Umm.." My voice cracked.

"She didn't hurt you, did she?" He asked getting mad.

"In a way-"

"What?!"

"Let me finish! When you guys were friends, she got jealous of me or something and I'm still not sure why-"

"Cause I liked you and not her."

I blushed when he said that, how could I not?

"Umm... Anyway, she used to say things to me that were bad and she used to put me down..." I looked up at him and he was staring at me.

"That's why..." It was more of a question.

"Why what?"

"Ummm..." I whispered and looked down, messing with the sleeves on the hoodie I'm wearing.

"Hey," he said and lifted my head up, "why didn't you tell me?"

"Because she told me if I did then she would say anything she could to make you hate me and I couldn't lose you..."

I started crying after holding it in while I was talking. I couldn't lose Chris, he's my best friend and if she took him from me I would be lost.

He wiped a couple tears off my face before pulling me in to a hug, "Nikki, I could never hate you and she could never take me from you."

"But you don't know what she was going to say, I don't even know."

I can't imagine being without him...

*Christian's POV*

I can't believe Lillian would do something like that. And I believe Nikki, Lillian never really liked her and why else would she have cut?

I hate seeing Nikki so hurt, I had no idea...
