Stand By Me Imagines and Preferences

81:Chris Imagine

Sorta based on the song "The Background" by Third Eye Blind

Chris stared up at the ceiling of his rather bare room. It used to be your room too.

Everything seemed quiet now that you were gone. You weren't there to keep the happy chatter going. Not since the hospital.

Chris blinked, hardly noticing the tears sliding down the sides of his face. He got up and got dressed.

At the store, he bumped into some old friends.

"Hey man! Where's that crazy girl of yours?"

Chris gave a half-hearted smile and mumbled something about not having seen you in a while.

With sympathizing looks they said they'd catch him later. He agreed, not meaning it.

As he waited in the check out line, there was a family in front of him. The father was putting the groceries on the conveyor while trying to persuade the older of their two children that she didn't need a lollipop, while the mother was bouncing the younger child on her hip, trying to keep the baby entertained.

Chris couldn't help but imagine the two of you in their places. A small smile touched his lips. Most of his plans for the future still had you in them, even if you were gone.

Words you had said to him, before the hospital, still played in his head all the time. You were always on his mind, even when he wasn't thinking of you. You were always there, in the background.

Ik it's pretty short but I really wanted to put something up for y'all. I hope you guys like it. Btw I obviously love this song, and if you haven't heard it, I suggest you listen to it. Thanks guys! M'kay.
