He did what!

TW:slurs

Nicks pov:

I open my eyes after a sleepless night of Charlie having constant panic attacks throughout the night.

"Char are you okay?" I ask.

"Mhm" He groans.

"Are you ready to talk about it?" I enquire.

"Yeah" he complies.

"So what happened Char" I ask. "Take your time I'm in no rush don't worry".

Charlie's POV:

Last night was a roller coaster of emotions. The constant panic attacks, the things he said running through my mind and all the trauma building up until it crumbles repeating over and over again. Nick wants to know what happened and I think I'm ready now to tell him. I start my sentence with a deep breath.

"So what happened was." I start.

Nick looks at me patiently as if to say take your time.
I take a deep breath again.

"When I was in the supermarket and was checking out I say Ben and his friends." I continue

Nick holds my hand and tears come to his eyes.

"It's alright we can stop and continue another time if you need" Nick adds.

"No I can do this don't worry just give me time" I smile.

"When I was walking out one of his mates asked were I was going, I didn't answer but then Ben repeated him and as always had to use a slur, I fired back and after just started walking towards the car and he said I had a debt to pay" I choke.

"Your doing really well, it's ok if you need to stop, don't push yourself to far" Nick says.

I ignore Nick and continue saying " I started loading the food in and they caught up to me just as I was about half way, they pinned me against the floor of our boot and Ben said"

"What did he says" Nick growls.

"That I was a bitch and couldn't eat and you were waiting for a hot chick to come past and you would just ditch me instantly" I say starting to cry.

"HE DID WHAT!" Nick screams. "We have to call the police Charlie"

"NO" I argue.

"YES CHARLIE" He screams.

Nick gets up and leaves the room. I sit there dumbfounded by his burst of anger but then I hear him say.

"Hi this is Nick Nelson I would like to report a crime"

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It though he was doing something else, I can't tell the story again I won't be able to. Anxiety fills me as different scenarios flow through my head of Nick being mad at me because I couldn't say it again, and then he'd. No no no no maybe Ben was right maybe he know what Nick would do what I'd he does do it what happens if that actually happens, what if I lose Nick!

"Ok thank you so you'll come over on Friday afternoon and I'll explain it to you, he has mental health issues and was just recently diagnosed with social anxiety so I'll tell you what he said, name and all." I hear Nick say. "Ok bye thank you have a good day"
