Nick's pov
Today was the day of my grand final. I wasn't going to lie but I was a bit nervous. I roll over in my bed and grab my phone off my bedside table. No messages from charlie, I sigh. Last night was interesting, Charlie and I got into an argument and he walked out. It was very clear he wasn't going to my rugby game.

"Want some tea Nickie?," My mum was in the kitchen filling the kettle up.
"Uh sure," I reply with a slight smile.
"Is Charlie coming to watch you play?,"
"Uh no...," I trailed off, and pulled a chair out.
"Oh whys that? Did you have an argument?," My mum asked sitting opposite me now.
I was tapping my fingers on the the table, "Yes, he said he had this school thing today. Then he said he couldn't miss it which is stupid,"
"Oh Nic-," i know what my mum was going to say, something like, 'im sure he'll come' or something like 'are you okay'
"I'm fine, I just want to win this game," I get up and walk to my room to get ready.
It's 8:19 and the game starts at 9:30, the closer it's getting the nervous I am. My mum and I drive in silence till she says, "I'm sure he'll come,"
I just mumbled a okay in response.
"I'll come back in a bit, bye love you," my mum reverses and drives away.

Charlie's pov
"Get up,"
"No," I pull the sheets over my head and roll over.
"Aren't you going to Nick's game?," Tori was still in my room invading my personal space.
"No, got this school thing, leave me alone," I grumble
"Can't you miss it,"
"Leave me alone!," I threw a pillow at tori, or what I think was tori.
Last night nick brought up my past, I felt crap cause I am now living on 3 hours of sleep thanks for tori waking me up. My face felt puffy from crying.

The water hits my back making me wake up to reality. Thoughts ran free.
'just go to Nick's match' 'you'd rather hang with Ben then nick, what a crap boyfriend you are' 'maybe it would of been better if nick never saved you from be-'
"Stop," I snapped, turning the water off.
The thoughts have gotten to me, nagging me, they like to pick me to pieces. They won.
It's 9:12, nick starts in a bit. I get changed.
"Mum going to Nick's grand final," I don't bother to hear my mum say okay or yell at me.

I walk on the path with my head down. I fiddle with my sleeves of my jumpers, I check the time on my phone for what feels like the millionth time, 9:20. I arrive at the field it's cold and looks like it's going to rain. I stand in the crowd blending in awaiting for the game to start. My phone vibrates
Tao
Where are you?
Me
Didn't want to go.

Nick's pov
"Is Charlie coming to watch you play?," Harry asks me while we were putting our boots on.
"Uh no,"
"Mate, why?," Harry pestered
"Had an argument," I bluntly reply.
Harry pats me in the shoulder and says what I've heard for a million times by everyone, "He'll come,"

Rain was expected today and now it was raining, great.
The opponents kick off and the game had started.
All I remember next is that I got the ball and tackled to the ground hard.

"Fuckkkk," I hear Harry say from above me.
"Geez give him some space," another voice says.
Next thing I'm in a room, which I assume is a sick bay, wait I remember this room. It's the one when Charlie played and he got hurt.
The medic said I had a mild concussion, even more great.
I hear footsteps approaching the room, which I assume is the medic but it was Charlie.
"Hey?," Charlie awkwardly says.
"Uh.. wh, I thought you weren't coming, what about that school thing?," I was kind of expecting Charlie to ignore me for a bit.
"Glad I didn't, especially when you have an injury," Charlie walked carefully across the room and sat next to me.
I was about to say something but Charlie beat me to it.
"This reminds me so much of how when I used to play rugby and that first match I got hurt, now it's you," Charlie smiles while re calling the memory.
"Yeah, same. It's funny cause it's the same room," I laugh.
"How's your head?," Charlie asks while turning to me.
"It's sore," it even hurts to laugh but I still let out a chuckle.
Charlie elbows me lightly, "You dumb rugby idiot,"
This makes us laugh again.
I take this opportunity to apologise, "Char I'm sorry," I pause, "I'm sorry for what I said yesterday it was out of line-,"
"If you're going to make this all soppy and cringey I'm walking out of here," Charlie is smiling.
"Charlie, I'm trying to apologise here,"
"Wait the rugby lad is apologising?,"
"Charlie!," In response Charlie turns and kisses me and pulls away.
"It's okay nick,"
This time I pull him into a kiss and it lasted longer than the last.
The door opens, it's Harry "Okayyyy, I'm going to go"
Charlie and I burst out laughing.
