A Little Kept Secret + other stories (Chris Halliwell x reader)

Accused

"How could you ask me that?" her voice was so soft she cant' be sure if she actually said or just thought it. Chris runs a hand through his hair and pulls on the strands in frustration. The sisters and Leo are staring at her with their arms crossed, waiting for her to answer.

"You disappeared for hours before it was stolen and we know how much trouble you've been in for dating Chris, we just need to know if you took it to protect yourself," Paige said, her voice soft with timidness. Y/n turned her attention to Chris, her forehead creased and her lips drawn tight as she held back tears.

"Do you think I took it?" She asked, voice almost cracking. Chris' jaw flexed with how hard he was clenching his teeth, his stomach in knots.

"I don't want to," he whispered. He took a step towards her and she took a step back, holding her hands up. Her eyes widened when the sisters and Leo flinched back.

"Oh my god," she inhaled sharply.

"Y/n," Piper took a step towards her, regret filling her face.

"No!" Y/n shouted, "Did any of you ever actually trust me?" she asked brokenly. "All this time, all the fights and the innocents and the demons that I've helped you with, that I've risked my life for!" she focused her eyes on Chris, "everything that you and I-" she couldn't finish her sentence.

"Y/n," Chris said her name pleadingly but she was shimmering out before he could say anything else. She landed in her room, falling to her bed and immediately allowing her tears to fall.

It took a month, a bad spell, and a lot of groveling on Leo's part for Y/n to shimmer back into the Halliwell manor. She thought it was a ruse at first, but once she was there, right in the middle of a fight, did she snap out of her pity party.

She had been sitting alone in her apartment for almost a month, declining their calls, shimmering out when one of them would orb in. Leo managed to trap her once and tried to talk to her but she slipped away and went back to her nest of self-pity. Y/n didn't want to be over dramatic, she knew that the sisters and them had a lot of trust issues after constantly being betrayed and lied to, but she can't help how hurt she had been when they not only accused her of stealing the pendant they were trying to keep from a demon, but they also flinched when she raised her hands in defense. It hurt her more than anything.

But being back in the manor, watching Piper get thrown against the wall by a demon who was in the middle of a woman with a samurai sword and another woman with a cross bow, really puts the pity party into perspective.

"What the hell is going on?" Y/n yelled, throwing an energy ball at the man. The woman with the crossbow turned towards her with a scowl and an arrow already loaded. "Oh shit," Y/n cursed as the arrow came racing towards her. She flicked it away with a wave of her hand but another came just as fast. She ducked out of the way, the arrow plunging into the wall. The arrows kept coming one after the other, getting closer and closer to her. Y/n threw an energy ball, hitting the woman in the leg and making her crossbow jerk enough for Y/n to ground herself. She threw another, but the woman dodged out of the way in time to miss it.

Paige was fighting the woman with the samurai sword off with a sword of her own while Piper and Phoebe were trying to gain the upper hand with the man.

Y/n flicked her hand at the woman's bow, but it wouldn't budge from her hand, so she threw an energy ball at her feet. It distracted her enough for Y/n to be able to jump over the couch and tackle the woman to the floor, the crossbow clattering to the floor. Y/n threw punch after punch attempting to gain enough time to create an energy ball, but the woman kept managing to gain the upper hand.
