ANGSTY! CHRIS MCLEANâS NIBLING! READER HEADCANONS
Heather was on the chopping block.
She needed to do something urgently. The day wasnât getting any earlier. Everyone was itching to cast her name out of the competition.
Immunity wasnât in her favour this time.
She needs to find a reason asap to not be kicked out tonight. That there was actually someone around that was a much bigger threat to everyon-
âYou know that...toy Chrisâ nibling has? I need you to get it for me.â Heather beseeched bluntly to Lindsay, hours before the elimination ceremony, in the whistling privacy of the forest.
âUm, sure?â The blondeâs voice high pitched from stupidity agreed,âBut why canât you go ask yourself? (Y/N) doesnât bite! Not people!â
âBecause Lindsay...I...gotta make sure Iâm presentable! My hands need to be in perfect condition.â It was a strange excuse, but Lindsay was narrow.
âOhh, right! Gotcha.â If anything, she found relatability in such empty words.
Too easy,âWhen you get it, come straight back here. You can remember that, canât you?â
âOhh, totally! In geography, I-â
âGo get the teddy.â Heather interrupts dismissively.
âOkay...â she watches moody Lindsayâs height get smaller and smaller as she disappears more and more to carry out one last request.
You were sitting on the sand with your legs spread out when you saw the pretty blonde girl approach you,âHi Lindsay!â
âHii (Y/N)! Is that Mrs Maple?â She pointed at the stuffed bear, dressed in a shirt of the Canada flag.
You nod,âSheâs having a suntan!â
âOooo, sheâs a lot like me! We both love being trendy!â Ask to get the teddy, ask to get the teddy,âCould I hold her? I...wanna see if weâre really on the same wavelength!â She zealously asks.
You hesitate. You never really let that happen.
You hold Mrs Maple by her underarms and stare far into her black eyes, before you nod and hand her over.
âThanks! Aww... Itâs such a cute bear!...Oh...wait...â She remembers her objection,  and gawks back at you,âI think I hear her talking! She said she wants me to uh, get some syrup for her! Gotta go!â
Before you could protest, she races away.Â
Thatâs weird... Mrs Maple is shy when she meets new people...
Oh! It must be a coverup for a game of tag.
Thus, you got to your feet and ran the same way she did, following her footprints in the sand, smiling. Challenge accepted!
âHey...! Heather!â She wheezes, holding the teddy to her,âI got it!â
âGood.â She hears a distant âWait up!â which melts a glare on her face to Lindsay,âYou let them follow you?â
âOhh... I didnât know they would. But they sound like theyâre having fun!â Lindsay found much virtue in it.
âYeah... A lot of fun.â The wicked glimmer of Heatherâs smile shifts to the blades of a pair of scissors she sharpened out, offering them to Lindsay,âCut the head off.â
âWh-What?!â She stutters, clearly having the full ugly picture confidential to her up until now,âI donât understand, I-I thought you wanted it to see it!â
âYeah, and to mutilate it.â She snaps the scissors together,âTake.â
âI canât! I wonât!â She yelled, holding Mrs Maple to the other side,âThis teddy is (Y/N)âs whole astronomy, and she didnât do anything to deserve decapitation! Besides, I-I was the one that took it so, itâd make it look like it was my idea!â
âRight on.â Heather snarled, Lindsayâs out of nowhere refusal not being part of the plan- she could threaten her position in the alliance, but eh, not much of a point if... Oh well. She did do the difficult part so there was nothing hard about snatching the teddy right from Lindsayâs hands and rapidly tearing the head off faster than she could blink.
âHeather! What are you doing?!â She screeched.
The sick image of stuffed cotton overflowing from both ends of the teddy to the ground.
Mrs Mapleâs head was now a teddy of its own.
âThere.â She pushes the two pieces back into Lindsayâs shaking hands,âNow you can give this back. Or should I say, these.â A malicious smile raises on her pale lips.
âOh my God... Youâre gonna be in so much trouble!âÂ
âNo. Youâre gonna be in so much trouble.â Heather reiterated victoriously,âLater!â
âHey! Come back, this is your doing!â official that Heather wasnât going to come back, Lindsay bites down on her bottom lip as she desperately tried useless methods of fixing it such as seeing if the head could stay on the neck by itself or licking her finger to try stick the separated body parts together.
I...I didnât know bears bleed white fluff!
The one voice she wished she didnât hear then.
She swiftly hides her hands behind her back and faces the small child, whose shoes and hands were dirty from running and falling, twitching on a nervous smile,â(Y/N)! Y-Youâre here! Thatâs so...great!â
âCould I have Mrs Maple back now please? Her social battery must be so dead by now...â you asked, coming towards her wobbly from running so much.
âOh um, well, see uh...â her falling on her words didnât help her case. Hey! She canât do these things under pressure!
Your face drops,âYou...lost her?â
âNo! Sheâs...â she sighs, divulging her heavy hands,âHere. I-I can explain-!â
Immediately, your eyes stung deeper than a waspâs.
She was showing you your worst nightmare.
âWhat...?â It was rather unsightly. It... This couldnât be happening...
âI promise I didnât do it! It was Heather! It was Heatherâs idea, I swear! I didnât know she wanted to do that!â Lindsay broke down to plead her innocence, guilt stronger than her mascara.
Pulse bellowed in your ears,âHeather...did this?â
A sweet baby returning lifeless by the neglect of the babysitter. Donât cry, donât cry, donât cry,âI...Itâs okay...Itâs...okay.â
Proving wrong after five seconds of eerie silence, by the destructive wave of your cries. Before Lindsay could try consoling you (try being very needed), you ran away.
How could you do that? Trust Lindsay of all people? Youâve never had a greater ocean of self hatred flood your insides.
Oh man it did not feel nice.
Chris didnât predict his nibling to run to him bawling, so he was very caught by surprise. It took him time to properly ask what was wrong given that he had to fully acknowledge that you were hurt, tremendously.
Youâre so overwhelmed, you can barely speak. Your wails hold you by the throat and your face never more pinched. All Chris could do is hold you and wait for you to calm down enough to vocalise the root of your distress; whoever was responsible for that was done for.
You hiccuped,âM-My ted...ted... H-Hea...Heath...Heath...â
âYeah, I canât understand you,â he nods at Chef to get a cup of water. Once obtained, he gently urged you to take your head off his body so you could drink it.
Already, your breathing was restoring back to normal and your mouth was empty.
âBetter? Alright.â He pats a tissue to your face,âTell Uncle Chris whatâs gotten you all choked up.â
The evocation of it was enough to get you bawling again, and you felt that you had already burdened your uncle enough by disrupting his chat with Chef. So you decide to put the first line of context into words,âI gave Mrs Maple to Lindsay and...â then deciding to show him the pieces. He could figure it out, heâs smart.
âOh sweet child.â he takes them in his hands, wrinkles forming under his dilated eyes in pure perturbation from what he was seeing. No wonder you were so devastated! Heâll admit, he kinda expected something like this, but not by the intention of other people,âLindsay did this?â
âI... I donât know...â your head is light,âShe kept saying itâs Heatherâs fault, but... Iâm still upset I gave it to her in the first place...â
âWeâll check the camera footage, but either way, somebody isnât going to go through just elimination tonight.â Heâll make sure of that. He takes his sight off you to place the parts of your beloved teddy down on the table, being very gravely mistaken for something else.
âDonât throw her away!â You shriek, pulling onto his shirt of dark turquoise to prevent him from such,âPlease, Iâve had her for a long time! Donât make me get rid of her!â
Heâs once again dismayed, but his tone grew resistance this time,âWe wonât be doing that. Itâs just the head that came off, soo weâll sew it back on and maybe clean her. Sheâll be as good as new.â
You wipe your nose,âReally?â Thank God.
He nods, stroking the top of your head,âIâll have Chef work on it right away. As for me, I have other business to attend to. Itâs all gonna be solved, I promise.â
Your tears were no more,âThanks, Chris...â youâre serious. You donât know what you wouldâve done if he wasnât there,âDo you think we could...play board games tonight?â
âTotally!â Best uncle ever,âWeâll do all your favourite games and we can stay up allll night. Howâs that sound?âÂ
See? Chris wasnât exactly the best at people comforting, but when it came to the very few people he held dear, thatâs when heâs serious.
Knowing how teenagers were, especially of Heatherâs textbook, he couldnât expect a lecture to turn her heart.
But he did enforce a warning to them that harassment was off limits on those who werenât participating.
You donât want to know.
âHey sweetie.â Leshawna came and sat next to you during your wait for your uncle to tell you heâs free to begin board game night,âHow are ya? Feeling a little bit better?â By this time, Mrs Maple was one piece again.Â
Youâre way too disturbed to treat her the slightest of play,âYeah... I just... I never felt so sad in my life. I practically watched someone close to me die. When...I saw that...she was torn in two, so did my heart.â
âAww.â she curves her hand around you and rests her head on yours,âSorry you went through that, some people can be so miserable. You ainât meant to be feeling all this sad, gloomy things we teens do. You just a kid!â
âIâm never giving Mrs Maple to anyone again.â Your decision thrived of bitterness.
âAnd thatâs completely fine. Sheâs your toy, no one should force you to do anything you donât wanna with her. Itâs alright to be hurt, but you gotta make sure that the way you handle it is the best way to let you move on sooner.â
âIs...Is Heather going home tonight?â you needed to know. It may have been there, but you needed to hear it.
âOh, totally. Girl dug her own grave and now, she may need to retake her passport photo.â Leshawna chuckles at the thought,âI mean, to go after a kid who did nothing and still be too much of a chicken to own up? Way out of line.â
âWill I always have to meet someone as nasty as her...?â Your puffy eyes set back to the newly placed stitches on Mrs Mapleâs neck.
Leshawna sighs, rubbing your shoulder,âUnfortunately in this world we live in, thereâs all kinds of sick freaks and Heather is just one of them. But you shouldnât waste your life worryinâ about them, because thereâs also really great people in your life that will always wanna look out for you, and itâs them you really wanna spend time on, ainât it?â
She smiled,âCome here, sugar.â
You felt safe enough to let Mrs Maple join in. Leshawna...sheâs amazing. And would make a great big sister, if she wasnât one already.â¤ď¸đŠš
