Nicks perspective
Charlie handed me the notes that were previously left in Ollie's bag, I carefully re read the note twice to make sure I didn't miss a single detail. I couldn't believe he was going through this too, I didn't protect Charlie from the bully's, I didn't do anything to stop them, but that wasn't going to be the case for Ollie i'm going to do what ever it takes to stop this I won't stand around and watch like I did. "I'm going to kill these little pricks" I muttered, folding the note up and putting it in my pocket, Charlie was crying on the floor his knees drawn up to his face, Today has been way too much for him, I know he'll never admit it but I can tell him hearing about all the stuff Oliver is going through is taking him straight back to when he was bullied. I held my hand out in front of him signalling him to take it and get up, he did and I tightly wrapped him in a hug swallowing him up with my much larger mass than him "Char don't cry, not here don't give your mom that satisfaction she doesn't deserve that let's get his stuff and go home because I think both you and me know we need to have a conversation with Ollie" he nodded into my chest "Your right we need to get the hell out of here and get him home, do you think he's cutting himself" Charlie questioned clearly scared I was going to validate his worries, I didn't know how to tell Charlie I did think that, he's already stressed out a crazy amount I don't want to worsen that if he is we'll figure it out, but since I don't know for sure i'm not going to add extra stress to his plate "I don't think so and if he is we'll figure it out together, as a team" I kissed him on the cheek as he grabbed Oliver's uniform from the closest and as he did he said with much relief "We have everything let's go and hope we never have to come back here" I nodded and followed him downstairs we left and walked back over to my old house.

We reached the door and walked in being greeted by Nellie with all that was going on I didn't even go to see her when we got here, about an hour ago, she's very old now and has trouble walking up and down the stairs she must have been upstairs when we initially came in because I didn't see her. I bent down and let her lick my face I miss her so much she's the best friend i've ever had I know it probably sounds silly because she's a dog but she's never let me down she has always been there for me. "I love you Nellie" I whispered into her fur as I kissed the top of her head. I was holding Olivers stuff and Charlie went to go get him and of course thank Mom for the hundredth time today, he's been very stressed about her being mad or upset because Oliver came over unannounced and due to the fact it was very unexpected, It didn't even cross my mind that Mom would be upset because I know for a fact she isn't she'll take anyone in if they need someone to talk to, a place to stay, or some food, she'll welcome them with open arms, she has the biggest heart just like Charlie.

I said my goodbyes to mom so did Charlie and Oliver, I put his bags in the back seat with him so he could make sure he had everything. "Ollie did we grab everything you needed for school" I asked still scared to speak I could feel the emotion in the car everyone was devastated and it felt wrong asking such a basic question in a time like this. "Mmhm" he mumbled barely audible "Oliver is everything at school ok" he didn't answer he just stayed silent, Charlie spoke up again as Oliver wasn't answering the question "Ollie we need to know if there's anything serious going on at school" I looked at him through the rear view mirror he was wiping the tears from his already tear stained face. This was too much for him right now he's coming to stay at a completely new house that he's never even been to, he's been getting bullied at school along with death threats he just needs to have some quiet time, we need to stop prying. "Oliver we need to know please tell us" Charlie said clearly getting frustrated, Char means well it's just not the time for this. I place my hand on his leg and whisper to him "Give him some time let him have space right now" Charlie nods agreeing to my request. I pull his AirPods that I picked up from his desk for him out of my pocket, I reached my hand back and gave them to him "I almost forgot to give these to you they were on your desk I thought maybe you would want to listen to some music right now" he smiled and said something for the first time this car ride "Thank you, thank you so much Nick" I could tell music was his outlet he needed to just tune out from the world, put everything on pause for a bit. "No problem bud" I replied. Once his headphones were in Charlie looked at me and giggled "You know your such a softie" I made the remark "How so?" he laughed some more, his laugh was angelic I couldn't think of a better sound than Charlie Springs laugh. "Your so good with kids, it actually really attractive" he said leaning closer for a kiss "He's in the car" I said quietly "he's listening to music and looking out the window it's fine" "Well in that case" we shared a quick kiss "Love you" I said rubbing my hand over his cheek "Love you too" he said back laying against me.
