We Said Forever!

Chapter 7. Nicks Pov

-Nick's POV-

The more Charlie and I spent time together, the better I felt about our relationship. For the first time in a while, I felt good about something. I even built up the courage to come out to some of Charlie's friends, who had begun to become my own.

Our kiss had felt natural and not like a mistake.

All this made me start to question my sexuality.

One day, I built up the courage to open up my laptop and take some quizzes about what my sexuality may be.

When one quiz came back with quite a high score for the possibility of me being gay, I felt tears begin to roll down my face.

Being with Charlie felt so right, but the idea of me being gay felt wrong. I still had an attraction toward girls. It wasn't like I had never had a crush on one. Charlie was the first guy I had romantic feelings for, though.

Nothing made sense anymore.

I practically stayed up all night trying to find the answers I was desperately searching for and eventually landed on the idea that I may be bisexual. It felt more fitting than the label of gay, though I was still feeling a bit unsure.

I decided that a second opinion wouldn't hurt, so I made plans with Ellie and her friends so I could discuss it with them. They were the first people to know that Charlie and I were dating, and their happiness for us made me feel as though I could tell them about this.

After Charlie and I's relationship progressed and I started hanging out with some of his friends, I noticed that Tao was not fond of me at all. I was hoping to change that. I didn't want there to be any conflict between Charlie and his friend because of me. I also knew that Charlie valued Tao and his opinion, so his approval would mean a lot to Charlie. I hoped that Charlie would tell him about us soon and that Tao and I would become friends.

I met with Ellie and her friends, and they agreed that I was most likely bisexual, but assured me that I didn't have to label myself if I wasn't comfortable with doing so. They said that Charlie wouldn't care either way. Their support and advice made me feel a lot better, and the bisexual label started to feel very fitting.

I decided I should tell Charlie about my discovery of possibly being bisexual. I still wasn't 100% sure but wanted to let him know where my head was.

As I made my way over to Charlie's house, I began to feel nervous. I knew Charlie would be supportive of me, but it still felt nerve-racking to tell him. I decided to bring some of my homework over so we would have something to do. I texted him asking if I could come over so we could do our homework, and he quickly replied by saying yes.

I arrived at Charlie's house and rang the doorbell. He answered the door, smiled at me, and led me upstairs to his room.

We began to do homework, and Charlie randomly just smiled at me. I practically melted. He started staring at me, and after what felt like forever (but was only around 4 minutes),  I made a face, remembering what I wanted to tell him.

His beautiful smile shifted to a look of concern.

"Is everything alright, Nick?"

"Uhm.. yeah. I just have something I wanted to tell you.

"Alright then. You can tell me anything, Nick." He smiled at me reassuringly.

"I... think I may be bisexual," I softly said, glancing back at Charlie worriedly.

Charlie seemed to take a second to process my words, but as soon as he did, he excitedly jumped on top of me.

"WAIT, REALLY!?"
