Collection of One Shots

Im Proud || Chris Evans x Reader

Being 16 is never the easiest thing in the world. One thing that you never really had was a support system, you followed your own dream, auditioned for a show that would launch your career. You got the part and it was a dream come true. Your parents didn't really care what you did because well you were not the favorite. You were just the middle child of nothing is how it made you feel. Which is why you went and did your own thing. You emancipated yourself and moved yourself out to LA, into a small studio apartment. The next day you started your first job. It was a dream come true, you were quiet and a little afraid of everything new surroundings. The first week on set you were quiet, sitting with the co stars at lunch and speaking with them. One of them them you had made quick friends with. His name was Chris. He made sure you got a break and knew when you ate and had a ride home safely knowing you were not even 18 yet.

It was about two weeks into the the shoot and you were starting to feel more at home. You hung out with Chris, spending more time with him he actually felt more like a father than your real life father ever was. He cared. He supported you making sure that you got home safe, that you had everything that you needed. Things a normal person would not due for the person that they just met. After about two weeks in you were sitting at the lunch table thinking about home and your siblings and everything else. It had been a normal routine sitting with Chris during lunch. Today the conversation went a little bit different. Chris started to talk about his parents and his siblings and how they were all so close. How he wouldn't be able to do any of this without them

You started to zone out well he spoke, it broke your heart, it felt like something just stabbed you as you thought that you would never have that sort of thing in your life

'y/n, hey did you hear me? I asked about your family" Chris said back to you as you quickly shook your head as you tried to blink the tears away "woah, what's going on, you know you can tell me anything" Chris said back to you as he moved his chair closer to yours. He reached out and put his hand on your arm. You quickly looked at him and away as you got up to go back to your trailer, you were about to have a break down and you were not about to do it in public.

Chris got up and quickly followed you as you walking way and now crying had him concerned. He followed you into your Trailer. You sat down and pulled your knees to my chest 'thats the thing I never had a family, I mean I had a family but nothing like what you said. My parents basically abandoned me, they didn't love me they didn't support me' you said as the tears ran down your face 'i was nothing to them, so I emancipated myself and I got out, they didn't even try to contest it. They just let me go." You stopped talking for a few seconds because you needed to catch your breath, the more you talked the more you broke down the more you couldn't control the tears coming from your eyes. Chris wasn't sure what to say but he knew what he needed to say "You want to know what's amazing y/n, even though you never had anything like that, you are here, and you are strong. You did that yourself. You every day wake up, you do what you need to do and you are supporting yourself, at the age of 16. No one is as strong as you. I am so proud of you, I know I have only known you a short amount of time, but y/n from when I first met you the first day on set and to now look how much you have grown and blossomed and became an asset." You just looked at him. No one ever said anything like that to you. He pulled you into a reassuring hug and comforted you. "I'm serious y/n I am proud of you and you are going to do amazing things in this life and those so called parents are not going to know what they are missing by just letting you go" He said again to you.

"Thank you" is all you could you mutter as you buried your face into his shoulder as you started to calm down. He rubbed your back till you fully calmed down.
