Too Much To Ask For (Kristoph x Reader)

Your Pov:

The last time I saw Kristoph was almost a year ago. I loved him with every fiber of my being, but he always ignored me and treated me coldly. Our relationship was so faint that everyone had to ask if we were still together. I could never regret that relationship, but I could never just brush it off either.

I sat in bed with the curtains shut and the tv off. I stared at the ceiling.

Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now. Our song on the radio but it don't sound the same. When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down. My heart breaks a little when I hear your name. It all just sounds like oh...Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize...

Everything felt so foreign. Sleeping alone, eating alone, and just being alone was hard. Soon, I learned to live with it. The little things made it harder however. I would hear our song in the car, talk to our group of friends who asked me about him, and so much more. I had decided to move on after realizing how badly I got treated by someone that 'loved' me.

That you should've bought me flowers. And held my hand. Should've gave me all your hours, when you had the chance. Take me to every party. 'Cause all I wanted to do was dance. But now my baby, I'm dancing, but I'm dancing with another man.

I found a man who treasured me and did things for me that Kristoph never would. He gave me flowers and held my hand. He let me go out and party. He let me dance at these parties. But I knew that Kristoph was very bitter. I guess he was in his right to be since I dated his brother after our breakup.

Your pride, your ego, your needs, and your selfish ways, caused a nice young love like me to walk out your life. Now we'll never, never get to clean the mess you made. And it haunts me every time I close my eyes. It all just sounds like oh...Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize...

On my nightstand was a vase of beautiful (f/c) roses. The thorns had been clipped off and the petals were soft to the touch. I opened the nightstand drawer and saw the locket lying inside.

Kristoph had given it to me on our 1 year anniversary. It was engraved on the back with the words 'Now and Forever'. The wings opened to the sides, showing a photo of Kristoph and I in front of the courthouse. I sighed and closed the drawer. His need for perfection and complete control tore apart our relationship.

That you should have bought me flowers and held my hand. Should have gave me all your hours when you had the chance. Take me to all the parties
'cause all I wanted to do was dance. Now my baby, I'm dancing, but I'm dancing with another man...

I grabbed a rose out of the vase and started pulling off the petals, playing a crude game of love me, love me not. Ironically, the last petal ended on love me not. I walked over to the closet and opened it. I sorted through the hangers and stopped when a familiar nightgown entered my view.

I sighed. This was yet another gift from Kristoph when we were dating. I grabbed an outfit and changed into it. I brushed my hair and styled it. I grabbed a few pieces of jewellery that I had gotten from Klavier and put them on. I looked in the mirror. Every article of clothing dragged me down.

Maybe it was my heart that felt so heavy. I opened the door, walking down the hallway.

Although it hurts, I'll be the first, to say I was wrong...Oh, I know I'm probably much too late to try and apologize for the mistakes, but I just want you to know...

The house was empty. Klavier was probably at work. I grabbed my cell phone, pulling up one old contact. I dialed Kristoph's number, listening for him to answer. But he didn't. I sighed as his voicemail played. As it finished, I began to say my message.

"I know you probably don't want to talk to me but I just wanted you to know that I'm ok. He buys me flowers, he holds my hand, he gives me all his hours 'cause he has the chance. He takes me to every party 'cause he remembers how much I love to dance. He does all the things you should've done when you were my man. He does all the things you should've done when you were my man..."

I put my phone in my purse and opened the front door. I stepped outside, taking one last look over my shoulder before shutting the door behind me.
