A Little Closer

Warnings:
Breakup

This is in Charlie's point of view:)

It's been about four months since the breakup. That wall was so hard to climb, I tumbled so many times. But I'm getting close. It felt so far away before. As the days go on it slowly gets easier and easier to feel happy without him. I don't feel as if I need to depend on another to feel good. I've wanted this for so so long. Not the breakup of course, but to feel like I can just be well—happy. Without feeling the need to always make another person happy. Without feeling like it's my fault anytime that they aren't.

At first it was amazing to be in a relationship, but once the pressure began to build. We learned things about relationships we never expected. We needed time. Now we're both getting it. Maybe one day we can be together. We're still friends of course, not in the way we used to be. We say Hello in the halls sometimes before class, we see eachother at social gatherings.

There are no hard feelings, we both know that the best option for the both of us was to take some time for ourselves. I don't think either of us regret our choice. We made it as a couple, as friends, as two people who loved eachother and wanted to see a choice made for the better.

And hopefully, one day we'll be able to tackle some of our choices together every now and then. But for now, it's the for the best that we learn to be able to make choices for ourselves. Right?

This is for the best. And every day, I feel myself growing closer and closer to being able to be my true self. And I believe that Nick is too, and I can't wait to see the amazing person he becomes.

Even if it's as a friend.
