Chapter Twenty Two Family Time

(Tw homophobia and the F slur btw I am a part of the lgbtq+ community just to clarify 💋love you all)

Charlie's perspective
I woke up to the sound of the bed creaking as Nick tried to sneak out of bed without waking me.  "My boyfriend sure is stealthy" I say well letting out a bit of a laugh, he flops back down on to the bed and replies "Sorry char I was really trying not wake you up you looked so peaceful" I pulled his head down on my chest I played with his soft blonde hair. I ask "why were you trying not to wake me up, we always cuddle and then get up together" he replies "My mom said last night that she wanted us all to bond together today and go to the beach, I know you probably wouldn't want to eat in-front of david and especially his new girlfriend because we've barely met her, so I wanted to make you some breakfast early before anyone else woke up" I squeezed him so tight he was so sweet and cared about me so much and was really patient with my whole eating disorder thing. Growing up I knew what my mind was telling me was crazy and didn't make sense, back then I thought if I told anyone they would think i'm some crazy insane person but I never felt that way with Nick I don't know how he understands but he does. "Why do you understand me better than myself" I say, he smiled and omg I could look at his smile for hours it was so adorable "I care about you so much Charlie, more than I care about anything" I didn't want to say anything in return I just wanted to kiss him, I swing myself on to him and kissed him very passionately. After a bit of us time we made our way downstairs and it seemed nobody was up yet PERFECT I thought. Nick made breakfast well I just stared and admired him, he was the sexiest man alive and he was all mine. Great my favourite person was awake...

David's perspective
I woke up so early this morning because I heard the two fags monkeying around in the kitchen I swear to god if I walk in and there fu cking on the kitchen counter I'm literally going to kill myself. I walk in and see that scrawny little wimp Charlie fully eyeing up my brother, this vacation so far was so not fire bro. Whatever Nick was cooking did smell GAS so I walked over to them and said "This looks fire guys, so like your cooking Nick just curious are you the bottom as well?" Omg I was so funny like if my squad was here right now they would be cracking up. Charlie and Nick looked mad then nick said "Your so immature and homophobic and how we fuck is none of your business" "whatever" I reply then steal some bacon out of the pan and go back to my room where my hot girlfriend was waiting for me, I didn't want to be around them any longer being gay is so gross and I don't want it to rub off on me like Charlie's gayness rubbed off on my brother. 

Charlie's perspective
"Im sorry Nick that your brother is such a dickhead" Nick grins then goes back to frowning almost immediately, I knew he always felt really sad that his own brother was such a massive dick to him. Nick and me ate in peace then it was time to go to the beach.....

We arrived at the beach with David lizzie and Nicks mom. Nicks mom packed tons of fruit and cookies and other snacks to enjoy at the beach, I could feel my mind spinning when thinking about lunch it was going to be so embarrassing because everyone will be expecting me to eat with them, I dont know what to do unless... No I shouldn't think about that. Nick then says snapping me out of these thoughts "Charlie! you zoned out what's up" I reply "Just thinking about beach stuff" He then smiles and says "Do you want to go swimming with me?" I really did just want to jump in the water with my boyfriend and get as far away as possible from Nicks mom, his brother and lizzie. "Yeah let's go but....never mind" I was going to ask Nick if he could leave his shirt on in the water too, so I didn't look so odd and out of place but I decided not to ask him because I didn't want to bother him with that. He probably didn't want to have a soaking wet shirt on the rest of the day anyway. He then sharply snapped "Charlie!!! your not allowed to start to say something then just say never mind, what is it, your supposed to tell me everything" I did really want to tell him just in the slight hopes he would say yes. "Sorry, I was going to ask you if you could maybe leave your shirt on in the water so I didn't look so stupid, but you dont have to just for me it was stupid to even ask that" I looked down after and then he put his hands around my face holding it up to eye level with him "listen to me Charlie, I don't care about wearing a wet shirt the rest of the day if that makes you feel the slightest bit more comfortable, I would do anything to make you feel more comfortable" I was kinda shocked that he would wear a T shirt too! he's never done it before but i've never asked him before ether. He picked me up like our first ever real date and ran us both into the ocean, The water was warm and Nick was holding me, I kept pulling his head down to me for kisses. It did really make a difference that Nick was wearing a T shirt too, I didn't feel so alone and ostracized. We swam and talked for a long time, until Nicks mom yelled out "COME FOR LUNCH BOYS!" My heart started racing and my insides flipped I was dreading this since the moment we got here.
