Relapse-Nick x Charlie

Charlie-16
Nick-15
~~
Another school day, another day of torture for Charlie. He thought after Nick came out everything would be better because Nick has such a good reputation Due to Rugby, but he was so wrong. If anything it made him feel worse because A lot of girls had a crush on the younger boy and Charlie would hear them say that 'Nicks too good for him, he should date one of us' so that wasn't a good thing to hear 24/7.

He's also been getting a lot of trouble off Ben, he assumed that Ben had got the message to leave him alone but clearly he hadn't after he kept saying things. He claims to Charlie that he's better than Nick and he could easily beat him and what happened in the Cinema was just 'Pure Luck' but Charlie knew that wasn't true. If Ben was discovering things out himself, why was he constantly troubling Charlie about his sexuality?

'Alright Spring?' Well someone must've heard his thoughts..

'What do you want Ben?'

'Where's that boyfriend of yours?'

'I don't know probably in form why?'

'just wanted to ask him what he was thinking'

'huh?'

'dating you, Nicks one of the most popular boys in this School and he chose you. A gay little Nerd who has a bunch of freaks for friends. What does he see in you Charlie, huh? What would anyone see in you?'

'S-Shut up..'

'You know it's true Charlie, why would he want you? Your just a freak, Nick deserves better than you'

'L-Leave me alone Ben'

'whatever, freak'

Charlie began to walk to form with a thousand thoughts racing through his head.

Was he really that much of a freak?

What did Nick see in him?

Nick deserves better.

I'm a freak.

Cut, Cut, Cut,Cut.

He didn't notice that he was already in his classroom, so he walked over and sat in his seat next to Nick.

'Char! i've been calling you'

'sorry got caught up'

'you okay?'

'yeah.. i'm fine'

He was not fine. Because after that day he relapsed. He stopped eating and began to cut more, he knew that Ben was right. Nick deserves better, Nick probably doesn't even love him. Why would he?

After a few weeks, his weight had dropped significantly and he became more and more pale. He was constantly having headaches and couldn't even move without being dizzy. Nick was sort of worried about him of course, but Charlie had told him he was just under the weather and Nick believed him because, boyfriends don't lie right?

'Nick, can we ask you something?'

'Sure Tao, is everything okay?'

'Have you noticed something wrong with Charlie?'

'yeah uh he said he's just feeling a little under the weather, he probably has some sort of bug'

'Trust me Nick, i've seen Charlie when he's sick and he's never like this'

'he wouldn't lie to me.. would he?'

'He just doesn't want to hurt you Nick, Charlie thinks he's a huge burden and can't do anything right. But surely you've noticed something?'
