Stephen Curry imagines

•FORTY EIGHT•

"Baby you know I love you more than anything." Stephen said with his head against mine "but I'm not gonna let you walk away from your family just because of me"

With blurry vision from the tears streaming down my face I put my arms around his neck.
"But I love you more"

"I'm not going anywhere my love, we will still see each other and I will love you more than anything. But this has to happen"

The day Stephen told me he wanted to break up plays in my head over and over, and only breaks me more with time.
My parents never liked him though, hell they never liked me for that matter yet something inside of me was screaming that I wanted to please them no matter what.

Stephen has been my friend for years and though my parents didn't love him they didn't hate him either, but the day I told them we were dating they absolutely lost it, screaming they hated him and he was the worst thing for me.

It broke me knowing they didn't approve of him I tried to hide it from Stephen but he knew me better than I knew my own mind, the second I walked into his room he knew something was on my mind and didn't stop asking until I told him.

We decided to push past it because we both knew we loved each other but it all became too much as we went on.

"Where were you?" My parents asked before I could even close the door.

"I went to dinner..."

"With him?" They said disappointed.

"Yes..." I looked down preparing myself for the routine of screaming.

The thought of what I had put up with just so I could be with him would always cloud my mind from time to time, some memories were pleasant but some weren't afraid to cut me like a knife.

"Miss me already?" Stephen said picking the phone up after two rings.

"They kicked me out," I said sobbing.

"Are you serious? Like for real this time"

"Yea they screamed at me then they threw a remote at me yelling get out"

"Baby I'm on my way just hold on"

And like promised Stephen was there in less than two minutes.
He took me back to his parent's house where they treated me like their own.
While Mr. Curry got Stephen's room ready Mrs. Curry sat on the couch trying to comfort me.

The Currys were very strict on girlfriends and boyfriend of their kids were not allowed to spend the night while dating but knowing my circumstances they made an exception.
Stephen stayed on the couch downstairs while I stayed in his bed, it didn't last long before the thoughts of the night's events came back to me which only caused more tears.

I quietly went downstairs to the living room where Stephen was, he looked so peaceful laying there so I decided to leave him alone and go back to his room I must've been too loud though because he started to stir around.

"What do you need baby?"
He said without opening his eyes.

"Nothing to back to sleep," I said with a sniffle.
He quickly shot his head up while still trying to wake himself up.
