Nicks POV

I come down the stairs and see Chase walking back up. He doesn't seem mad but he doesn't seem happy either.

I sit down next to Charlie. I know I need to talk to him about how he treated chase even though Charlie went through it but maybe for another time. No I need to do it now.

"Hey char?" I ask.

"Yeah?" Char says confused.

"I know your trying to help Chase but I think your being to pushy"

"What do you mean" he says perching up.

"I mean the way you handled things tonight wasn't the most rational. I know you don't mean to but you have been in Chases shoes before and you know how he feels in a way"

"What!" Charlie says aggravated.

"I mean you know someway how he feels and your being to pushy" I say raising my voice.

"What?" Charlie says his face showing me he feels hurt.

"I'm sorry char it's just I know your trying to protect Chase but you need to let him go out on his own" I say. "You need to let him spread his wings"

"I know it's just hard considering I know how he feels and I want him to be okay"

"I know that and you are trying but you just need to try and be as supportive and a listener and not interfere"

"I know and I am trying it's just hard knowing he's going through what I did"

"I know but you have to give him some space okay?" I say.

"Ok I will" he says.

Charlie edges closer to me, when he's right next to me, his head falls onto my shoulder softly.

Small breaths come from Charlie signalling he's asleep. I know this because when he's tired he'll do little snores or as I call them kitten snores because my friends cat used to do the exact same snores. Charlie does kitten snores a lot and it's actually cute as fuck.

I allow myself to fall asleep next to Charlie like when we were teenagers. We almost still are, teenagers at heart at least.

My eyes flutter closed as I drift to sleep in the comfort of.My. Home.

Chases POV

I woke up like ten minutes ago and found Nick and Charlie asleep. Isaac's in my room and is waiting for me to come back from the bathroom. I'm planning on staying in here forever but twenty minutes will do.

Though, I don't know what's up with Charlie but I'm so fucking annoyed at him. Like I need time to breath and all that boring shit but I need it. I know he's trying to help but it's almost like he doesn't realise we aren't going through the same thing and he doesn't know how to properly help me. Like I know he's trying to help but he need to leave me the fuck alone.

"Hey you alright in there Chase?" Isaac calls from outside snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah be out in a minute"

"Ok I'll be in your room"

"Ok"

I know I don't have much time left to be with my own thoughts meaning I'll have to go back to Isaac but it's fine with me sorta. Isaac's always been there for me and never pushes to know like if Charlie could do that for me I'd love it because id be able to trust him a lot more but it's not what he's doing at all.

I gather myself and walk out of the bathroom. I enter my bedroom and Isaac is sitting in the bed.

"You ok?" He asks.

"Yeah all good" I lie.

I look at him and I can't resist the urge to just kiss him.

I climb into bed and kiss his cheek. He reciprocates by kissing my lips. I kiss back. There's no tongue but we still are kissing.

We kiss a lot but this one just feels different. It's weird. But in a good way? I like it but this blanket over me is telling me he's cheating and hates me and is waiting to break up with me.

I pull away.

"Hey whats up?" Isaac asks.

"The roof" I say sarcastically.

"haha, so funny" he says. "But seriously what's going on?"

"I feel like your cheating on me and wanna break up but don't wanna say it because you think I'm pathetic but exactly in like a week you'll break up with me because I'm pathetic" I rant.

"I don't think your pathetic and I knew you aren't, I wouldn't ever break up with you because in my eyes your my soulmate and I love you." He says. "I love every part of you big or small"

I let out a tiny laugh cause of what he just said.

"What?" He says having not realised what he said yet.

"Ohhhh" he says realising his mistake.

Isaac let's out a little laugh and I join. We laugh a little until.

Isaac's POV

Chase and I were laughing about something I said until his laughter turned into tears. I didn't know what to do so I just hugged him? He's been crying into my shirt for the past like ten minutes.

"What's wrong CC?" I say using my pet name for him hoping to cheer him up.

"We haven't laughed in a while or hugged or talked or anything we're falling apart and I'm scared I'm right about you breaking up with me"

"Chase I'm never going to break up with you ever, I love you so much and I would never want to ever lose you ever because your the most important thing in my life right now"

"Your not lying?" Chase asks.

"No I'm not I promise" I say.

"Pinky promise" he asks holding his pinky out.

"Yeah" I sigh softly, interlocking my pinky with his.

Chase stops crying and starts to calm down and then falls asleep. His little relaxation part of sleep kicks in and his body lets go meaning he lets go of everything except me.

I fall asleep next to Chase rattled by the thought of breaking up with him.
