MUTE [A Chris Colfer Imagine]

Mute 8/?

It seemed like time flew once Chris left. For weeks we Skyped every single day whether it was in the morning or in the evening. I knew Chris was busy, so if he couldn't Skype with me, that didn't matter. We would always text constantly, and my life seemed to revolve around Chris. It was good, amazing even, until about 2 months into our relationship (if you could call it a relationship).

Chris had started to cancel our Skype sessions, and our messages got less and less until I only got the odd few goodnight texts from him. I couldn't understand what had happened, and he didn't understand that he was breaking my heart. It was like he didn't care anymore, and I didn't know what to do - I felt helpless.

It was a particularly bad day. I had a bad day at school again, things were starting to get out of hand and I couldn't help but feel like something big was going to happen. My dad was drunk again, he hadn't spoken to me or even come near me since he hit me but I guess that was a good thing because I didn't have to worry about him possibly attacking me again. Finally, Chris had ignored me all day, and I was just fed up with it now. He told me how much he liked me, yet hasn't even made the effort to speak to me.

I got into bed early and logged into Skype. I was shocked to see that Chris was online and waited to see if he would talk to me. I waited 20 minutes and Chris was still online, I'd had enough and decided that I needed to say something because I couldn't cope.
I clicked on his screen name, but didn't invite him for a video chat, just using the messenger.

ME: Hi.

It took 15 minutes for Chris to answer me, and that just made me even angrier.

CHRIS: Hey [Y/N].

I was surprised he even remembered my name, but deep down it hurt that he didn't call me beautiful like he normally did.

ME: Oh, so you remember me then?

CHRIS: Of course I do beautiful.

ME: I'm surprised.

CHRIS: Okay, do you want to tell me what this is all about rather than just giving me one or two worded answers because I'm confused.

ME: You're confused? What's confusing about the fact that you've been ignoring me for the past few weeks apart from the one or two text messages you send me at night. I thought you leaving wouldn't affect us Chris.

CHRIS: I haven't been ignoring you, I've just been super busy this week and haven't had time to message or talk to anybody important.

I stared at the message in shock. Not had enough time to talk to anybody important? So I wasn't important to him then. So much for meaning something to him.

ME: So I'm not important to you? At least I know now how you feel, thanks Chris.

CHRIS: Oh for fuck sake [Y/N], you're acting like a clingy fan and you're being stupid.

ME: Oh so do you kiss all your fans and tell them how much they mean to you? I'm sorry Chris, I'll leave you alone now. I don't want my "stupidness" to affect you.

I didn't wait for him to respond before closing off the conversation and blocking him. I could feel myself wanting to cry but I wouldn't, I was fed up of letting people get the better of me and I was tired of crying all the time. I thought Chris was different but once again, I was wrong.

I didn't realise I was clinging to Chris, he made the promise that we'd speak every night, but I guess that's just another broken promise, just like every other promise that had been broken.
