Hello! Another fiction from me! I've been listening to Cher Lloyd's song 'Love me for me' and decided to make a song lyric fiction. In simple sense with every chapter I'll post a verse of her song and make a storyline based around the lyrics! I hope you enjoy reading this and thank you for feedback from previous fics I've wrote!

Love Me For Me

Phone rings
Don't wanna pick it up
I'm so scared
I'm gonna say too much
I tip toe around your questions
Why you gotta dig so deep?

*ring ring* went Nikki Alexander's phone for the hundredth time in the past hour. She had been sitting on her sofa, with the box of tissues sitting on her lap, her old companion toy from her childhood snuggled under her arm and her eyes burning from the intensive crying she had been enduring. Only hours ago her life was perfect, a boyfriend who adored her and brought her expensive gifts and surprised her at work with roses and chocolate on random days. She got the news through a heartless text. Explaining he needed someone more real, someone who wasn't so dedicated to their work, to their colleagues. She always wondered why every man in her life never loved her for being herself. She reflected her time back on her latest boyfriend, Alex.

She was never the girl she was around the people who knew her, Harry, Leo, Janet. She was some fake girl who loved eating salads and going for healthy runs and eating at posh restaurants. When the truth was she loved a good Chinese every week with her colleagues as a treat for coping through the week, she loved drinking in the local pub with some of her girl friends. The bleeping of her phone distracted her thought process.

She finally got the courage picking up the phone seeing a familiar name appear calling her. 'Harry calling' she read. He'd been calling her ever since he heard the news about Alex. He knew how special he was to her, just seeing her smile every day at work made him realise how happy she was, how much he completed her.

Pressing the accept button she listened to sound of his voice as he kept saying her name 'Nikki, Nikki…you there' she could hear the worry in his voice, the persant caring he always showed towards her. she smiled and wiped away her tears, breathing through her constant sobbing as she tried to speak to him. Remembering she needed to be okay.

"Yeah I'm here" she smiled. She heard his relief done the phone as she finally breathed loudly.

"I heard what happened. You okay Nik?" he asked lovingly. He always wanted to be there for her. Like he knew everyone in her life deserted her and he was on a mission to make sure he never left her side.

"I'm…fine" she paused. Putting her hand to speaking part of her mobile as another sound released from her mouth flushing out another set of tears drowning down her face like a stream, flowing along the mascara and causing black lines to travel down her cheeks.

"I know you. I know what you're like….Well let me guess…you're sitting in your favourite pj's that your dad brought you, the only present you ever liked from him. You have you old tatty dog cuddling you that you pretend doesn't exist but you hide it under your sofa. And you're crying that much that your eyes are getting that red there getting irrtative" she smiled brightly. He always knew her too much. Like he was a part of her most of the time.

"Correct Sherlock!" she scarstically replied. She loved but hated at the same time how he could do that.

"You're just jealous you don't have my skills, Alexander" she replied into the phone. A tone of smug appeared in his voice.

"I'll see you tomorrow?" she replied into the phone. The laughing helped slowly stop her tears and bury them away again. But she was tired. She had been through so much in one day, everything changing suddenly without a sense of warning.

"See you tomorrow Nik" he replied before hanging up the phone.

As Nikki finally got up from the sofa, she put her tatty dog back under the sofa in its originally place, put the tissues back in the cabinet and headed towards her bed. As she was about to lay down her text tone sounded she opened the message which read

'Don't worry Nik. You're so much better than anyone I know. Don't change for no-one. Chinese tomorrow please xx'
