Chapter 125 Party flashbacks 5

Charlie's perspective
I felt the tiny taps of Nicks hand against mine our hands were so close they were brushing together I wanted to grab his hand and interlock our fingers so bad! today has been I don't even know, I felt so bad about Nick having a panic attack but i'm happy I decided to walk over rather then get picked up I didn't want to cause trouble for his mom and that's why I initially decided to walk over unannounced instead, Nick told me it was no trouble but I didn't listen and honestly I couldn't be happier I didn't listen he needed me. He's helped me so much with Ben... and the rest of the year elevens who like to pick on me. He's seen me so valuable at my worst and i've never seen him like that. Looking into his eyes I felt the energy between us I want us to be a thing. I want to be there for him all the time whenever he feels anxious.

A girl with a short bob which was platinum blonde who had about 15 bracelets on all made from various string colours and a dusty pink mini dress on opened the door and said "Hi Nick!!!" she turned her attention away from Nick to focus it on me "and you must be the Charlie i've been hearing about" I nodded my head then she went in for a hug she was very small and thin like me. She pulled away and said "I'm Daisy i've known Nick for a long time now we meet in primary school" She then went in for a hug with Nick, she was so bubbly and cheerful it might because she's been drinking but that's besides the point the first person I met here was nice so maybe this party wasn't so intimidating after all. I was scared to see Tao and Elle here they never told me about this and that's insane because it's there first party! they weren't going to invite me, worse they didn't even tell me. "Hi daisy" Me and Nick both said in unison causing both of us to give one another a slight glance as we walked in. There was no more than 30 people in her average size house. Tara then came up to us "Hey guys! omg the drink table is insane daisy knows her shit you guys should get a drink before it's too late Darcy is kinda going crazy over there" I definitely wanted a drink or two but needed to stay sober enough that when I got home my mom wouldn't notice she would kill me if she knew i've even had a drop of alcohol in my system, I know my limits because when we have sleepovers at Taos, his mom lets us have a few coolers or beers she's really cool that way and that has taught me a lot and how to be safe at party's something my mom wouldn't understand. "Want to get a drink with me" I turned to ask Nick he suddenly looked nervous and hesitant "You don't have too Nick if your not comfortable" I said softly.

Nicks perspective
I've never drank before like ever, at all of Harry's party's and shit I avoid it i'm too nervous to have any I don't want to do something stupid like my dad always did when he drank but Charlie is having one and I dont want to look like a buzzkill so maybe it's the right time to try it "Yeah no I'll get one with you" I said nervously, Charlie smiled and I showed him the way to the kitchen Charlie grabbed a fruity flavoured cooler and I grabbed the same I had no idea what to grab this was way out of my comfort zone but I just went with it. He looked to me and smirked raising his eyebrows up in suspicion "Are you just grabbing what i'm grabbing have you not drank before" I nervously laughed "No of corse not we just have the same taste I guess" I could tell I hadn't convinced him but quickly changing the subject should fix that "We should go hang out with everyone yeah" he nodded but didn't follow me I didn't know why until I felt myself being pulled back by him "You said you wanted to talk to me about something at rugby, what was it" I wanted to blurt out my intense feelings for Charlie and wrap him in a hug one that you don't give to friends a real passionate hug but my nerves got in the way "Can we talk later?" I asked and he smiled, feeling relieved we proceeded to go talk to some of my old friends.

A few hours later, Nick after a few drinks...

Tara's perspective
"Nick where's Charlie" I asked Nick were Charlie was because I know him he's shy and definitely isn't a party goer Nick invited him and promised to stay with him but now Nick looks sorta drunk and I still can't find Charlie i'm starting to freak out a little. Funny enough I have never seen Nick drunk he's not pissed or anything just a little buzzed he will be fine in an hour if he eats something. Not getting an answer I repeat myself "Nick where's Charlie" he stutters as he speaks "Um he's he was with me like a second ago" I sighed frustrated now "So you don't know where he is" Nick laughed and smiled "I don't know that but do know how cute and adorable he is" I'm not stupid I know Nick likes Charlie and clearly Charlie likes him I may have my sources cough cough Elle but right now this wasn't  important I mean yes this is HUGE but Charlie missing is MASSIVE. "I know he's cute but we need to find him you know him best so where should we go first" Nick took a second before answering "Ill ask around" "good idea maybe he met a friend or something" Nick walked over to the living room main area where everyone was practically, there was only max thirty people and no one went to Truham or Higgs  except Nick me Darcy Elle Tao and Charlie.

Oh SHIT is all I could think, he isn't serious he can't be, he just freaking stood up on the coffee table in the middle of the room "GUYS I HAVE ANNOUNCEMENT I LIKE CHARLIE SPRING IN A ROMANTIC WAY NOT JUST A FRIENDSHIP KINDA WAY HES SO PERFECT -" I cut him off by pulling him down off the coffee table by his hand before he said more I don't think this was how Nick wanted to come out and i'm worried for Charlie's reaction. This was a mess what was Nick thinking.
