Restraunts are overrated

Chases POV:

"Okay your two have fun" Charlie smiles.

"Thanks have fun on your date it was nice to meet you" Isaac smiles.

"You too bye" Nick says waving us off.

"Bye" I say waving back, Charlie gives me this good luck look as they drive off.

"Ready to go in?" I ask.

"Yeah" he says.

We walk in and instantly there are eyes on us, but not nice looks, disgusted and confused looks. I hear Isaac's breath start to shake and I feel his warmth drift away like a cool breeze. I spin around on the spot and chase after Isaac.

"Isaac wait up" I pant catching up to him.

Isaac twirls around quickly and just stares at me, his eyes full of water start to leak as if there's no more space to hold the tears.

"Hey it's okay" I say but before I can continue my sentence Isaac has hugged me. "It's okay, it's okay" I whisper rubbing his back.

He doesn't say anything only tiny sniffle or sobs occasionally.

"Why were they looking at us like that?" Isaac asks.

"Because they thought we were dating it happens a lot to people like me" I reply solemnly.

"Im sorry you have to go through that and my friends their complete assholes and I just stand there and do nothing I'm so sorry Chase" Isaac sobs. I am only just taller than him so his head is sealed to my chest no longer willing to let go.

"It's okay don't worry Isaac" I say again rubbing his back.

He starts to calm down, his breath becoming less and less shaky and his sniffles and sobs becoming quieter and less frequent.

"Do you wanna come to my house?" I ask.

"Yeah, restaurants are overrated" Isaac says giving a little shallow laugh, I laugh back with him. Stars dance around us as the wind blows gently on our faces, the street lamps just lighting up our faces.

I pull out my phone, I can't believe Isaac just hugged me I always thought he was the tough guy, I know I'm shorter than him but still I didn't expect that from him! I call Charlie.

"Are you okay what happened?" Charlie asks.

"We're okay I'm fine can you come pick us up we're outside of the restaurant" I ask.

"Okay we're coming be there soon"

"Ok bye see you soon love you" I say.

"Bye love you"

I hang up the phone, Isaac is still dug into my chest.'

"You know you have to let go" I say.

"Yeah but your warm" Isaac mumbles into my chest.

"Ok then take my hoodie" I say.

"Fine" he says.

I take off my hoodie and give it him it's a little bit but only just baggy. The light breeze now feels like Antarctic wind on my fresh scars, I give a tiny wince and clutch my wrist, Isaac looks at me and then my wrist, then at me, then my wrist.

He tells me. "You, you do that to yourself?" There's a quiver in his voice.

I'm speechless, what do he won't like me the same.

"I'm so sorry you have had to do that" he says sympathetically.

"Thanks" I say.

"You don't deserve to have that happen to you" he says.
