Chim- I need your love (Oneshot + Story)

Chapter 4

Cheryl’s POV:

Although me and Kimberley hadn’t been together long, when she wasn’t here I felt lonely. I missed being able to cuddle into her because it always made me feel safe and content. I was still upset about what Lily had said but I was more worried over Kimba, I didn’t want her to feel like she had made the wrong decision because Lily didn’t agree with it. There were going to be far more people who would be happy for us anyway.

I picked my phone and dialled Kimberley’s number, biting my lip nervously until she answered.

“Hi baby.” Kimberley said, I could sense that she was smiling.

“Hi.” I smiled. “Are you okay?”

“Hmm, I guess.”

I sighed. “What’s wrong?”

“It’s just what Lily said. It’s made me feel like I’ve made the wrong decision, I hate feeling like this.” I heard her sigh down the phone.

“But you haven’t made the wrong decision. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been because of you, nothing that Lily has said is going to stop me from loving you.”

“I know, its just..”

“Just what?”

“It doesn’t matter.” Kimberley muttered. “What are you going to do about it?”

“I’m not sure. I was thinking about sacking her but I don’t know.” I sighed.

“Don’t be hasty about it, just have a think. Look, I gotta go. I’ll ring soon, okay?”

“Okay.” I smiled. “I love you.” I said as I blew a kiss down the phone.

“I love you too.”

Kimberley's POV:

I decided that I was going to go see Lily. I wanted to talk to her to find out why she said them things. I was annoyed because I knew that Cheryl was hurt by them and I can’t bare her feeling sad one bit. She meant too much to me to allow her to continue feeling like that.

***

I knocked on Lily’s door waiting for her to answer, I was sure that she would close the door straight away when she saw me but it was worth a try anyway. Lily opened the door, “Hi.” I said before she had the chance to close the door on me.

“What do you want?” She said sternly.

“I wanted to talk to you. I don’t want to argue.” I said, looking at her.

“Come in.” She grumbled.

I smiled and walked in. “Why did you say them things?”

She shrugged. “It was my opinion, so I said my opinion. Why is it such a big deal?”

“It’s a big deal because you hurt Cheryl’s feelings by saying them things. She can’t help being in love with me just like I can’t help being in love with her. You’re entitled to your opinion of course but what you said really did hurt.”

“Don’t give me that sob story, I don’t want to hear it. Why don’t you just go back to Cheryl and live happily ever after.” She said rolling her eyes.

“I can’t believe that you actually don’t feel bad. If I were you I would be ashamed.”

“Why should I feel bad for having my own opinion?!”

I stared at her. “I’m going to go. Just remember that I tried to put things right but you didn’t want to hear of it.” Once I said that I left.

“And you can tell Cheryl that I quit!” I heard her shout before I sat in my car. Once I was in my car I banged my head on the back of the seat in despair. Lily obviously didn’t care about Cheryl as much as we all thought she did. How could someone be so cruel? I didn’t understand it. I didn’t understand why it was such a big deal that me and Cheryl were in a relationship together. Surely any normal person would be happy for us? Lily wasn’t one of them people though.

***

Once I returned I home I pulled my phone out of my bag and dialled Cheryl’s number. “Don’t be mad.” I said straight away when she answered the phone

“What do you mean?” She asked.

“I went to see Lily.” I said anxiously.

“What?” Cheryl exclaimed.

“Don’t get mad, but I went to see her to see if I could put things right but she didn’t want to hear of it. She was being really arrogant and she just didn’t care. Once I realised that she didn’t care about what she said and how it affected you I left.”

“She didn’t care?” Cheryl gasped.

“No. Oh, and she said that she quits.” I said, chewing my lip.

“Good.” Cheryl said.

“You’re not bothered?”

“No, why should I be? I don’t want her negativity about me and you around me. I don’t think I’d be able to cope seeing her most days after what she said anyway.”

***

What Cheryl said about negativity made me think a lot. When I think about it I’m glad that she wasn’t bothered about the fact that Lily had quit. It would have been hard for her to be around her, her negativity would have been rubbing off on us every day and I don’t know if I could have coped with it being like that. I didn’t want anyone’s negativity around us. I wanted me and Cheryl to be happy and the only way that was possible would be to forget about people who clearly didn’t like us being together.
