Nick's POV:

As Charlie and I sit down at the dining room table, I can notice the worried expresion on his face. "Char don't worry I'll be here the whole time." I say in a calming voice while grabbing his hand under neath the dining table. "I love you so much Nick" as soon as Charlie finishes his sentence Jane come's wondering out of the kitchen with some plates she start's placing them down on the table. After evryone sits down, we all start dishing up our food I know Charlie won't eat a whole sandwhich so I split one in half. Half for me and hallf for Charlie I'm not that hungry anyway's frim breakfast "Oh come on Nick take more then that I know your hungry you don't have to take that much just because Charlie can't eat properly!" My blood was already boiling "Actually Jane i'm not that hungry I had a big breakfast." "Oh what don't tell me you have an 'eating disorder' like Charlie I don't need another troubled kid now." I looked over at Charlie, he looked like he was about to burst into tears. "Your getting your wish mum your pathetic little fag of a son isn't going to be coming back anymore, don't bother texting or calling either because I won't be answering." At that point charlie was in tear's. I picked him up bridal style and carried him to the front door. "Fuck you Jane your the worst mother ever. Treating your own son like that gosh i'd be sorry if I were you." I walk out the door and over to our car we parked at my mum's house since she was away visiting my grandma. I crawled into the backseat with Charlie and just sat there hugging him. He was holding on to the back of my sweater for dear life sobbing into my chest "Shh Char it's ok." I say while holding him kissing the top of his head. After about another 5 minutes I got him calmed down "How about we go home and I run a nice warm bath for us?" " T-that would be n-nice." he say's while coughing.

Charlie's POV:

Nick and I arrived home and walked in "Hold on Char I think I forgot my phone in the car I'll be right back ok?" "ok" I walked into the bathroom and felt the urge in my wrist I couldn't take it I grabbed the razor out of the medicine cabinet and opened it I grabbed the blade and slid it across my wrist. I felt releif but also regret what had I just done Nick is going to hate me. I hear Nick walk back in to the house and come over to the bathroom "Oh my gosh Char!" "I'm sorry Nick i'm so so sorry" "Char it's ok" "you had a rough day." he say's while grabbing the rubbing alcohol from the cabinet and cleaning my cut. After he is done cleaning my cut he put's the plug in the bath and starts running the warm water he kisses me on the cheek and help's me get undressed he puts some bath salts in and undresses himself he get's in the tub first than grabs my hand and helps me in after him I sit in between his legs with my head resting on Nick's chest he is playing with my hair and holding my hand hand. "Thank you Nick" I say trying to hold back my smile. "Thank you for saying that to my mum she deserved it." "Awe sweetheart come here" he grabs my chin tilts my head up and kisses me on the lips. All I can do is think how did I get so lucky to have a boyfriend like Nick Nelson he is the sweetest, most caring, loving boyfriend anyone could ever have. " I love you so much Nick." "I love you more Char" I lay my head back down on his chest and he starts playing with my hair again. after another 10 or 15 minutes we get out get in to some comfy clothes and snuggle on the couch while watching 5 feet apart I think it has to be Nick and I's favourite movie. "Today was so shitty" I say to Nick he looks down "I know sweetheart but it will be better how about tomorrow we have a fun day just me and you kind of like a date day?" "Yes please i'd love that."
