TW!!! This chapter mention death.


Nick's perspective: 

Right now I am home alone because Charlie is at therapy. Im currently cooking dinner. I'm just making some chicken with a salad cause Charlie is normally a little anxious after therapy. 

Our dog Daisy is laying in he kitchen with me, and I'm jus listening to music, and suddenly my phone rings. I expect it to be char telling me he is on his way home, but it's a number I don't know. 

"Hello" I say 

"Hello, is this Nicholas Nelson?" 

"Yeah, who is this?" 

"Its the police" 

Shit. The police? 

"Okay, what's wrong?" 

"I am so sorry to tell you but your mom has been in an accident and she didn't make it" 

My heart drops. My phone falls to he ground and so do i. 


Charlie's perspective:

I open the door to the apartment and walk inside.

"Nick" 

There no answer, but I can hear sounds from the kitchen. I walk over to the kitchen, and when I see nick on the ground crying my heart breaks. 

I run over to him and kneel down infront of him.

"Nick, love what happened" 

"Its- I-" he continues to cry

"Hey love its okay, shh, breath" 

"It- it's not okay" he says 

"Nick what happened?" 

"My mom" 

"What happened to your mom?" 

"She- she died" he starts crying even more

I don't believe it. It can't be true. Sarah can't be dead.

"Oh nick, are you sure?" 

"Yeah, the police called" 

I find myself starting to tear up swell. I mean she was more of a mum to me than my own mother. 

"Nick, love what can I do" 

"Nothing..."

"Love, I'm so sorry, here lets get you up In bed" 

"mhmm" he answers 

I help him up and lead him to the the bedroom. I sit down and make a sign for him to lay down on top of me

"I don't think I'll ever be okay again" nick says

It breaks me to hear him say that. I know the pain won't ever go away completely, but at some point it will get easier. 

"Im so sorry Nick, I wish I could take all your pain away" I kiss the top of his head and hug him a little tighter. 

"Can you try to get some sleep nick?"

"I don't know if I can sleep" 

"Its okay nick, I'm gonna be right here the whole time"

"I love you" he whispers

"I love you too, now try to get some sleep"

"mhmm" 

As nick is laying on top of me I run my hands though his hair. After a couple of minutes I hear a little snore from him, and when I realize that he is asleep tears comes flooding down my cheeks. I didn't wanna cry too much when nick saw it, cause it's his mum, and I have to be there for him, but god. I love Sarah so much, and the fact I'll never see her again breaks my heart into a thousand pieces.

Nick's perspective: 

I wake up sweating and with tears running down my cheeks. 

"Char" 

Charlie turns around in bed

"Nick, what's wrong?" 

"I- i had a nightmare" 

"Oh love come here" he opens his arms and I lay back down

"Wanna tell me what happened?" he ask while running his hands through my hair

"M- my mum died" 

"Nick love, its okay, its just a nightmare"

"it felt so real" 

"I know" 

"I can't stop thinking that I dreamt it because she really died" 

"We can call her in the morning?"

"No, now!"

"Nick, its 2.30 am, we can't call her in the middle of the night" 

"Fine" 

I snuggle up to Charlie and let a couple more tears fall down my face before I dose off again.

*time skip, the next morning*

When I wake up I expect Charlie to be in the bed but he's not.

"Char"

"Coming" he yells back

When the door open my mum walks through the door

"Oh Nicky baby" 

She sits down in bed and pulls me into a hug

"I love you mum, please never die" 

"I can't promise that, but I promise to turn at least 100 and not die in an accident"

i hug her a little tighter. 

God I love my mum.
