bad day

in which chris has a bad day
___
you were sitting on your bed, annotating a book you got at the mall for your friends birthday gift as your phone starts ringing. you turn it over and see that chris is facetiming you. you answer it with a smile on your face, but it quickly turns into a frown when you see chris' tear stained face.

"baby, what's wrong?" you frown, as you hate seeing other people cry. especially loved ones. especially him.

"can you please come over?" chris asks, wiping his nose, even though it just continues running.

"of course i can sweetheart. i'll be there in 5, okay? i love you." you say, getting ready to hang up but chris interrupts you.

"wait- can you stay on the phone please? i need to hear your voice." he asks, almost as if he's ashamed of it.

"of course i will. i'm getting in the car now, i'll be no more than 5 minutes. do you want to talk about what's upsetting you, or do you want to a distraction? i can tell you about what my mom took me to do today?" you ask, buckling your seatbelt and starting the car.

all he does is nod. "your day please."

that's all you had to hear to get you to start explaining. "first, she took me to the mall. it was so much fun. i used the gift card you got me for my birthday at hollister and i got a super cute tanktop in your favorite color. you're going to love it. and some jean shorts that fit me perfectly. then i dragged my mom into zumies and i found baylen merch! it was the last one in the store, i got so lucky. and then we went to aerie so i could get a swimsuit. it's this super cute two piece in your favorite color as well. we need to go to the beach soon so i can show you." you ramble, chris listening intently and wiping his eyes every once in a while. you noticed the tears haven't stopped yet, but they've definitely slowed down.

you take a deep breath and continue. "i got my favorite book for (your friends name) birthday at barnes and noble. it's called if he had been with me. you should read it. then, i went back into hollister before we left so i could find you something, which i did but it's for your birthday. i went to one more place, where was it.. oh yeah, forever 21! i went nuts there. i bought five shirts, a lash curler, a pair of sweatpants, and a cardigan. i went batshit crazy at that place." you say, earning a little chuckle from chris through the phone.

"we got panda express while we were there too, and holy shit i fucked up that meal. it was so good." you conclude, turning into his driveway. "okay baby, i'm here. i'll see you in a total of 30 seconds, okay?" you say, seeing chris nod on the other side of the screen. he hangs up and you put your phone in your pocket.

you get inside as quick as you can. matt greets you at the door and you give him a quick wave. "i'm sorry, i'll catch up with you in a little bit. chris needs me right now." you say, sending him a smile.

"i was just about to say that chris is in a bad mood right now." he says, waving me up the stairs to where chris' room is located.

you knock gently on the door, only opening it when you get a soft "come in" from the other side. you walk in quickly and shut the door behind you. you see chris sitting on the floor in front of his bed with puffy eyes and the hood of the hoodie you got for him pulled tightly over his head. the sight alone is enough to break your heart.

"talk to me baby, what's going on up there?" you ask, sitting down on his lap, facing him. you take down his hood and play with his hair, something that always seemed to calm him down.

"i don't even know! i'm just- i'm just not feeling it right now. my head is pounding so hard it might fall off, ive been snapping at everybody today for absolutely nothing, and i'm crying and i don't even know why!" he cries, burying his face in the crook of your neck.

you swear you can feel your heart break some more. you put one hand in his hair and massage lightly, and put the other on his back. "that's okay chris. i have days like that too. it's your body's way of telling you that you need to take a day to yourself. you're stressed out baby." you say, rubbing chris' head and back simultaneously. you feel him sigh deeply against you, and you hug him tightly.

"i'm not going to leave you chris. i know you hate feeling vulnerable and don't like expressing your emotions, but it's important that you do. that might be why this is happening right now, because you let them build up too much." you soothe quietly into his ear.

he sighs again and picks his head up. "i'm so in love with you i can't even explain it." he says, resting his forehead against yours.

you feel yourself turn red and kiss him on the lips. you pull away quickly, but chris immediately pulls you back in for more. you put your hands back into his hair and tangle your fingers in his long brown locks. he pulls away again and looks you deep in the eyes.

"thank you for being here. i know this is probably the last thing you wanted to do at 4pm on a sunday." chris says, smiling at you once more.

"there's nowhere else id rather be right now." you admit. "now let's take a nap, see if that helps your headache at all." you suggest and he agrees immediately.

you get off his lap and jump on his bed, chris following close behind. you lay on the same side you always do. chris cuddles up close to you, quickly falling asleep.
