MUTE [A Chris Colfer Imagine]

Mute 3/?

I didn't leave my house for 4 days. My dad didn't care, he was to busy down the pub getting drunk off his face, and he didn't come back until after I was asleep. I didn't go to school, and I didn't message Liam either.

Everything that happened at Chris' book signing really shook me up and I'm still confused about everything that happened. Actually, the only time I left my room was when I needed to shower, eat or drink. I wanted somebody to notice but it seemed like nobody did apart from Liam, then again he was the only one I could rely on anyway.

It was another day of me staying in my room, and I decided that I needed to clean it up. I picked up the book Liam told me to look at off the floor and decided to see what was in it.

I gasped in shock as I looked at the personal message inside the book. I had to open and close my eyes countless of times to make sure that what I was reading was actually real.

[MESSAGE IN BOOK] [Y/N], I don't know what happened here but I'm worried about you. I was really enjoying my conversation with you and then you just ran away? Hopefully one day you can tell me what really happened, and hopefully one day I can see your beautiful face again. So here's my number that I'm leaving for you, and I'm hoping that we can speak again.

I stared at the number written down in the book, this couldn't be real right? All I could think about right now was Chris and how he wanted me to contact him. I didn't know whether I had the courage to actually fire off a text - but as I sat there thinking, I decided that I deserved some happiness and Chris made me happy. It was about time I did something for myself.

[OUTGOING MESSAGE] Hi Chris, this is [Y/N].. I don't know if you remember me or not but you told me to text you.. and here I am.. texting you. I don't really know what to say so I'll leave it here and just hope I'm not being pranked.

I knew that I wouldn't get a message straight back so I continued cleaning my room, hoping to find something that would take Chris off of my mind for a while.

Four hours later, I was in the kitchen eating my dinner that I had made, my dad still wasn't home and I didn't expect him home anytime soon. I heard my phone buzzing upstairs, thinking it was another message from Liam, I continued to finish my dinner in peace.

Once the pots were washed, I went back to my room and grabbed my phone. I had 3 new messages, 2 from Liam and 1 from the number I had texted earlier which was Chris. I decided to reply back to my best friend first.

[INCOMING MESSAGE: LIAM] I know ur upset but I'm worried about u and ur not messaging me back. I'm ur best friend and I'm not giving up on u. Please just answer me. X

[INCOMING MESSAGE: LIAM] I'll be here when ur ready to talk, I miss u. X
I felt so guilty for ignoring him, he was constantly worried about me and I repay him by ignoring him? Another reason as to why I was a bad person. I couldn't keep shutting myself away when something like this happened.

[OUTGOING MESSAGE] Hey Liam, I'm so sorry for ignoring you. I didn't mean to but I was just so scared about what happened. I'll be back at school tomorrow, meet me at our normal spot?

It was time to get back to reality and face facts that this was who I was. As much as I hated school, I needed to study hard so that I could move away from this hell hole.

Finally I read the message from Chris.
[INCOMING MESSAGE: CHRIS] I've been so worried about you! Of course I remember you, how could I forget such a beautiful face. I didn't hear anything from you, so I thought you didn't want any contact with me. I'm so glad you've messaged me beautiful, it's put a massive smile on my face. I hope you're okay now. X

I was speechless. I didn't really know what to think or say. All I wanted to know was why he was calling me beautiful, because I'm not beautiful at all. I put a massive smile on his face? Now he know how I felt when he put a smile on my face whenever I thought of him. How could he be worried about me when he didn't know me? I was so confused.

[OUTGOING MESSAGE] I'm ok thank you for your concern. I'm gonna be brutally honest with you, I don't understand why you want to keep talking to me, I'm not an important person.

I kept it small and simple. If I could, I would have gone in fangirl mode and wrote him a whole book about what I thought of him but I didn't do that. He would probably run away from me.
I don't expect Chris to message me back anytime soon, so I logged onto my computer and went onto Skype to see if Liam was online.

It was just before I fell to sleep that night that my phone buzzed signalling a message and Chris messaged me back.

[INCOMING MESSAGE: CHRIS] And I'm gonna be brutally honest with you [Y/N]. I was taken by you the moment I laid my eyes on you and I really, REALLY want to get to know you more. So I suggest a game of 21 questions, and I'll start. How old are you? Have a good nights rest beautiful! Xx
