Nick:
If I'm being honest, I am just a huge ball of emotions lately. Literally like riding a roller coaster. On the one hand, I'm so excited to be moving into Uni next week. I'm excited to learn about things I'm actually interested in; I'm excited to play rugby at a more competitive level; I'm excited to meet new people. I'm a little nervous about meeting new people. Truham was my bubble and I loved it there; everyone knew me. Everyone knew and accepted (for the most part) my relationship with Charlie. I'm going to be meeting people from all over and who knows how they were raised or what they will think. I would assume Charlie is just as nervous for this (if I'm being honest, he is definitely more nervous). After the way he was outed and treated two years ago, I don't blame him. A big part of me wishes I could stay here; that part actually gets bigger by the day as my move in day approaches. Charlie is a staple part of my life and routine here and even though it will continue to be that way while I'm at Uni, things will obviously change. We currently see each other almost everyday but soon it'll be (at least) twice a month. I can't imagine how I'll be able to survive without seeing him, holding him, kissing his perfect lips every single day. I know we will make it work, but that doesn't mean it won't be difficult. I already miss him and I haven't even left. I know a lot of people think this is some sort of puppy love but I've never been more sure of anything in my life. Charlie is my person. Forever.
Charlie:
It's been raining almost everyday this past week. It's funny how the weather is completely matching how I feel. Six more days. I have six more days to soak in Nick before he goes off to Uni. After the fight we had, we have been spending pretty much every second together. I'm still nervous about how this is going to work; still afraid that he could potentially meet someone new. However, Nick has really done a tremendous job of continuously talking me off the ledge when I start spiraling with these negative thoughts. Even today he messaged me asking me to bring over a bag of my clothes, a toothbrush and anything else I want him to take up with him to Uni so it's there when I go to visit. Although my thoughts have been really negative lately, Nick always finds a way to put me at ease. We took the train up to Uni together to make sure we both know how long it will take and where to get off. We already looked online for the local beaches, arcades and other fun things to do when I visit. Having all these plans and seeing the effort Nick has made to make sure I feel safe, comfortable and loved does not go unnoticed. I hope he knows how much this means to me. How much he means to me. I put my bag together and start walking to Nick's. Before I even ring the doorbell, the door opens and out runs Nellie to greet me before Nick can even say hi.
"NELLIE! HOW'S MY FAVORITE GIRL?!"
She jumps up on me wagging her tail. Once she is back on the ground, Nick pulls me into a hug and then looks at me, still embracing me.
"Hi", he says before kissing me.
It's funny how the smallest of words have had the biggest impact in my life. I deepen the kiss before pulling away.
"Hi", I say with a smile.
