Nick:

Me and Charlie finished Uni about 6 months ago. We have bought a small cottage in the woods, but not too far from town. Me and Charlie can still walk Henry to the shops. Me and Charlie have our own cars now! Every weekend we go to the beach, Charlie has gotten much better with health and eating, I work at a bakery with Tara and Imogen, and Charlie takes care of Henry during the day while I'm at work. It's the dream life.

Charlie:

"Morning amour." Says Nick as he brushes my hair out of my face, "Ughhm" I groan. "I'm off to work." He whispers as he leans his head down to give me a soft, gentle kiss on the forehead. "I love you." He whispers, "Mmm love you tooo," I say, still half asleep. "I left you some of my toast on the kitchen bench if you want it." He says as he walks out of the room, and out of the front door. I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, almost dozing off, when I decided not to. I sat up, went to the kitchen, and polished off Nick's toast he left me. Henry helped me. I took him out for a walk to the pond and let him off the lead for fetch. I put Henry back on the lead and walked back to the house. Nick usually put a note on the fridge if there was anything he wanted me to do around the house. He usually didn't put anything on there, but i still checked every day. There was something on it today: Could you please wash Henry today? I left their shampoo and his brush on the bathroom sink x.

Nick:

I work in a bakery with Imogen and Tara. We sort of run it ourselves, we bought the store, but we still have a supervisor, our boss. "Hey Imogen!" I say as I walk in. She gives me a hug and gets me to try her new bread recipe. (It was amazing) "Bake of the day!" I say with excitement, it was the best bread I had ever tasted! 

Today we got the greatest number of sales in months! 89! "Time to close up!" I say, pulling down the roller door. "A great day today guys! Well done!" "Thanks Nick! I'm glad you loved my bread!" Said Imogen from in the kitchen. "Thank you, Nick," said Tara. We closed up around 6pm and I drove Tara home as she hasn't gotten her license yet, then drive home.

I walk in the front door, "I'm home!" I say, and I hear the shower running, assuming Charlies in the shower, then it suddenly stops. I hear sniffling coming from the bathroom and I immediately run to the bathroom, and knock on it a numerous number of times, just to hear a very faint, "Go away." "Charlie. Let me in" I say, in a calm voice. "No." He replies. I know what has happened. The door is locked so I go get a butter knife to turn it from the outside. I slowly turn it, so Charlie doesn't hear and burst in, faintly hitting him on the back. "Oh Charlie." I say, seeing bloody tissues and my razor blade on the floor. Charlie's face is soaked with tears. "Darling." I say in a calm voice. "I'm sorry." He says, "I don't know why I did this. I was doing so well..." "We can try again." I say, wetting 2 tea towels for his thigh and ankle. I carefully place them on his leg. "Aghh" "Shh its ok," I say, dabbing it on his leg. I take the med kit from the bathroom cupboard and grab out some band aids, and a bandage for his ankle. I get him and the bathroom all cleaned up, then come and lay next to him on the bed. "I'm sorry." He said, tearing up. "Hey," I wipe the tears from his eyes, "It's okay Char, we can try again. Do you know why you did it today? "I'm ugly." He said, tearing up again. "Charlie you are the most beautiful person I have ever met, and you may think I'm just saying it but fuck, you and your body are both so beautiful." He smiles, and we hug. "Love you." He says in his tired voice, "I will forever love you, Charles." I say, as he starts to drift of in my arms, and so do I.
