1.An anxious night.
"Good night,mum...!"I exclaim softly, shutting my bedroom door behind me.I lean against my door as a tear falls down my cheek.My phone buzzes.I walk over to my bed and pick it up.
Char♡:
Hey,Nick.You awake?
Nick x:
Yes...Everything ok?
Char♡:
Yeah.Just wanted to know if I could come over....
Nick x:
Did something happen?
Char♡:
Tori's at Michael's House for the night and Oliver is at our grandma's....mum and dad are kinda fighting and I don't really want to be here...
Nick x:
Sure...I could use some company....
Char♡:
Are you okay?
Nick x:
Yeah...
A while later,Charlie arrived."Hi."Charlie states."Hey..."I say back shakily."Are you sure you're ok,Nick?"I let Charlie in and shut the door behind him."I...I'm f-fine..."I tried to hold it in,but my emotions took control."Hey,It's ok...."He places his hand on my cheek."I...I...."I wanted to say something but nothing was coming out."Hey..."Charlie stares at me as if he had a realisation."Lets go to your room..."His voice was soft and comforting, almost as if he knew something about me that i didn't.We're in my room.I start to silently cry and start pacing back and forth."Hey...Nick?"He places his hands on my shoulders."Sit down..."I sit on the floor and Charlie sits infront of me holding my hands."Nick...Do you want to talk about anything?"I feel my heart beating fast."I...I had a fight with my dad over the phone.....and he also....-"I break down in tears."Hey...Nick...?"I try to look at him."You're having a panic attack..."My eyes widened."I...I am....?"Charlie held my hands again."Just copy my breathing okay...?"I agreed.It took a little while,but I eventually calmed down."I'm sorry...."I say covering my teary face."It's ok..."He says softly in a comforting tone."I....I didn't know what was going on with me...."Charlie held my cheek."How many times has this happened...?"He asked.I didn't know how to answer because all the other times weren't the same at right now."I don't know...."I try to explain that I get stressed and my mind goes all scribbly."Nick...?Do you maybe...have anxiety?"I look at his eyes,they were concerned."I...I don't...I think.....ugh..."Charlie kissed me gently."Breathe slowly...before you get it again.I love you...okay?"I smile softly and hug him tightly."I love you too...Thank you for still existing...!"He rubs the back of my head."I'm here,I promise."We end up watching a movie and then I fall asleep on Charlie's chest.He was quite warm and when I'm with him,I feel like half my problems disappear.
Charlie-
I turn the laptop off and watch over Nick sleeping.I was so troubled with what was happening with me and home,that I hadn't realised what he was going through.He may have severe anxiety.I don't know,Geoff told me all about anxiety and how to deal with it.I love Nick and I'm willing to help him through this as much as possible."Char...?"Nick says,eyes still closed."Yes?"I say,stroking his hair."I...I'm sorry about....putting my problems on you....."I kiss his head."Nick...I'm here...you're apology isn't needed."Nick grabs my arm gentlyvand kisses the bandage."Does it hurt...?"I smile softly at him."Not really."He sits up and faces me crossed legged."I...I feel like I'm not actually telling you everything...ever...."I smile."Nick,you don't have to tell me everything at once.I know I'm your boyfriend,but you don't have to feel like you have to tell me everything."I say softly.Eventhough,it's true.Nick would always talk to me about his worries or feelings,and I like that,but...he has to realise that he should only tell me things if he feels comfortable to do so."I...just...I just find you really safe and trusting to tell....but I'm sorry if it annoys you..."I widen my eyes in concern."Since when did you think like that...?"I feel a tear trace down my cheek."I...I'm sorry....."He says.I sigh and hold his face."Nick,I love you so fucking much...but when you said that you are annoying me...I....It's not true!You deserve to be here and...you're funny,kind,thoughtful,loving,respectful,trustworthy,protective and I love you...and only you being happy matters to me."Nicks cheek rose pink."I...I love you too,Char...."He nuzzles into my neck and a few minutes later we both eventually fall asleep.
Nick-
I open my eyes to only see Charlie's neck.I lift my head up to see him sleeping.I smile softly at him."You better not be watching me sleep."Charlie states with a smile and his eyes still shut."I wasn't staring..."I look away and he holds my arm."You feeling better?"He asks with open eyes."Yeah..."I say stretching and getting up."Your bed hair."Charlie laughs.I look in a mirror and notice my hair sticking up."Well,is cute?"I ask in a suductive tone."Nick!"He laughs."Well,is it?Because you're blushing."He holds my hand."You're always cute."He smiles and I smile back."Good morning boys."My mum says,walking into my room with a basket of clean clothes."Morning."We both say.She laughs at me."Uh,Nicky?Fix your hair darling.Oh,and you should get dressed."She only tells me to get dressed when we having company over."Who's coming?"Mum laughs."Your best friend in the entire world."My eyes widen and my smile grows big."Ivan...?"Mum smiles softly."Try Ivy."I look at mum confused then realise."Oh...Oh!He's now a she?"I ask."Yes,darling and Charlie can stay for the day if he wants to."She leaves the room."Omg..."Iva-Ivy is my best friend...well at least only from newborn to ten year olds.She moved to Spain for a while."Um....Who's Ivy?"Charlie asked."H-She's my childhood bestfriend...I've known her since birth!"
An hour later,the door knocks.I answer it and see Ivy.Her medium brown,shoulder length hair.Green eyes and her dress is green."Nicolas!"She hugs me."Ivy!"I hug her back."It's been forever!We must catch up!"She exclaims.She looks at Charlie."Who's this?"I smile and wrap my arm around my boyfriend,who seems to be jealous."My boyfriend Charlie!"She laughs."I always knew you'd find a cutie!Oh,and don't worry Charlie.I don't like boys only girls!"Charlie smiles."I like your name!""He says."Thank you!"We all go to my room and sit on the floor."So alot has changed..."I say."Yep,I'm trans and lesbian and have a girlfriend!What about you?"She asks."Oh,I'm bisexual and have the best boyfriend in the entire world."I kiss Charlie's cheek.He looked sleepy so he's resting on my shoulder."So,your "Grand frère"still a dick?"I was shocked,I had forgotten that I used to call David that."Grand frère?"Charlie asked in confusion."Nicolas used to call David,Bubba."She giggles."I...It's true..."I say.We spent the whole day hanging out and just talking.After she left,Mum told me that David was coming home tomorrow.Me and Charlie hung out,but then he had to go home.
