This story takes place in a universe where Charlie just died in a car crash
Nick
I'm in my room. Charlie was supposed to come over, but he is half an hour late. I have texted him many times, but he hasn't even seen my texts. Something is wrong. He always replies fast, and he is never late. But then I hear the doorbell. "Finally," I think. I run downstairs. "I'll get it" I yell to my mom. I rush over to the door and open it. "Hi, Char..." I say but it's not him. It's the police.
I stand in shock. "Hi. Are you Nick Nelson? And is your mom home?". "Mom" I yell. Mom walks over beside me. She stares at the policeman. "Hi, Miss Nelson".
"Hi, mister officer. What is wrong?" Mum asks confused.
The officer looks at me and my mom "Do you know a Charlie Spring?" he asks
When I hear the name Charlie, I know something is wrong.
"Yes, we know a Charlie Spring". My mom says.
"What's wrong with Charlie?" I say a little too loud.
"Nick, can I talk to your mom for a sec?"
"You didn't answer me. What's wrong with Charlie?!"
"Sweetheart, let me talk to the officer"
"But...."
The officer steps inside and pulls my mom into the kitchen
"Nick can you go upstairs" Mom yells to me
I do what she says and walks up to my bedroom. They talk in the kitchen for a very long time. Too long. I just don't understand. What is wrong with Charlie? And why are the police here?
I hear slow footsteps on the stairs and my door opens slowly. Then I see mymom'ss face in the doorway. Her eyes are wet, and she looks like she's about to cry.
"Mom... What is it??"
"Sweetie..."
"NO" I yell "WHAT IS IT WITH CHARLIE THAT YOU DON'T TELL ME?"
She walks over to the bed where I'm sitting. "Nicky," She says and takes my hand "Charlie has been in an accident.
My eyes start to get wet, and my heart beats fast. "What? Is he okay?"
My mom looks down at her hands "Mom, is he okay?? If there is something you aren't telling me, then say it" She won't look at me "MOM!!"
She then looks up at me "Nicky... He didn't survive"
And right there, my heart stops. It's like the world is spinning around, and I can't breathe. I'm in shock and a tear spill from my eye. I can hear a distant voice. My mom's voice. She hugs me and pulls her arms around me, but it's like I can't feel anything. There is no life without him. No life without the love of my life. No life without the boy who always can make me smile. There is nothing without him.
More tears are falling down my cheeks, and I just stare into the wall, while my mom is sobbing and hugging me.
"Nicky you have to say something". My mom says while sobbing.
But I can't say anything. The only thing I can do is to think about the love of my life... Is gone.
That was part 1 of "A life without him". I hope you liked it.
Part 2 will come out soon
