A week later... Oliver was approved to live with Nick and Charlie, he's settled into his new school and already started "talking" with this girl he fancies, they make a cute pair, she has red auburn hair straight and silky that just about reaches the her waist, with beautiful green striking eyes. That's all the information he was going to tell his older brothers, he might have left out the fact that he kissed her underneath the bleachers at a football game yesterday. He went to watch her as she was is a cheerleader, safe to say Oliver was enjoying his new school even though the academics at this school were a little more intense, he's working harder now and really wants to impress his older brothers he thinks so highly of, even though Nick and Charlie he told him countless times as long as he's trying his best they will always be proud of him...

Charlie's perspective
I woke up hearing the door creak open then softly shut closed, it was Oliver leaving for school he insists he takes the bus because his new friend that so happens to be a girl goes on it, I think it's a good thing none the less he's learning independence and that's important to learn and navigate during your early teens. I looked to my right seeing my drop dead gorgeous model fiancé, still sleeping slightly snoring, it was so quiet and faint it resembled a cats purr. I moved closer to him our faces were mere centimetres apart the sun was shining on us blinding me slightly with its golden rays, but perfectly illuminating his face. I hovered my index finger over each freckle counting them under my breath, trying to count everyone but getting lost unable to recognize which ones i've already counted. I started touching each one subconsciously not realizing that I was going to wake him up. I could tell he was awake because of the smile creeping onto his face his eyes still shut, "I know your awake babe" I whisper leaning in and kissing him, when the kiss ends he opens his eyes revealing his beautiful brown eyes "And I know you were touching my face and why were you doing that" he said sweetly I laughed thinking about how ridiculous I was! before admitting "hypothetically if I was to tell you I was counting your freckles would you think I was a weirdo" he tapped my nose "I would think your the cutest person alive actually" he kissed me on the forehead before leaving me cold and alone. "Nickkkk" I whined hoping he would hop back in bed with me. "Charlie we should probably get up we have the reunion tonight" I formed a smile knowing Nick wants to go to the high school reunion but all I wanted to do was burry myself in the covers of our feather duvet and never come out. I've been dreading this stupid reunion for weeks but everything's been so crazy I sort of forgot about it which was nice, I didn't want to go pretend to like the people at my old school, I didn't want to see the people who hurt me and I definitely didn't want to pretend that we were friends because we weren't. I hate being fake and I think i've been fake with people I don't like too much just because I wanted to "fit in" I would never have actually fitted in though I was a weird gay kid at an all boys school in the uk, nobody liked me besides my actual friends and nobody even attempted to pretend to like me, trust me they were very clear there opinions about me. Nick had a different high school experience than me, for him it was fun thrilling exciting many girls took interest in him everyone seemed to envy a certain aspect of his life, and not to mention he had tons of friends, well that was until I came along and sort of ruined that for him. I can't help but wonder what his life would've look like if he never meet me, I know he loves me but what if he never loved me and he got together with someone else, would his life be better. "Charlie" Nick said picking me up out of bed sending waves of cold air snapping me back to reality. "S-sor" I was about to say sorry for zoning out well he was talking but he placed his finger against my lips stopping me from getting the word out. "Hey! no saying sorry for no reason... why were you zoned out are you stressed?" I was cradled in his arms looking up at him there was nowhere I could hide, he's sacrificed so much for me how could I refuse to go with him, I won't let my anxiety get in the way of another thing for Nick. "I'm just worried about what to wear that's all" I said while smiling reassuringly. "Oh babe, we can go to the mall" he kissed my forehead "I don't want you to be worried" My heart ached for him, he was the sweetest person and he cares so much about me, I wanted to tell him the truth but I can't I just can't I want him to have a good time and maybe i'm just getting wrapped up in my own head maybe it won't be so bad. "No no it's ok Nick seriously you know me I'm just worrying about nothing" he put me down and pulled me into him by the waist shooting tingles up and down my spine. He planted a kiss on my lips it was slightly intensified by me. When he pulled away he said "We don't have to go if you don't want to Char" I shook my head "No were going it will be fun" He hugged me excitedly and I let my body sink into his. It's settled we're going and I guess I need to just get my anxiety in check before then.
