TW: Mentions of SH
Nicks POV

When we enter our bedroom I see Charlie bolt for the bathroom and I see out of the corner of my eye charlie staring at his razor.

"Char!" I say catching him off guard.

"What?" He says.

"Are you alright?" I say.

"Yeah why?" He asks curiously.

"I dont know, sorry." i say. "You were just death staring your razor."

"Oh sorry, I promise I'm not going to relapse." Charlie says a look of knowing he isn't.

Geoff told me to not interfere with Charlie relapsing but to only let it happen and to only intervene if his life is in danger or hes in the process. Geoff called it an urge in Charlies case, an urge that will grow if not fufilled and if not it will explode.

The water starts running and my nerves start to ease, I hope Charlie goes through with his promise and doesn't relapse but if he does I will be here to help him no matter what. I love to infinity and beyond but I just don't know if he was lying when he said he wouldn't.

After about thirty minutes of Charlie being in the shower I start to get worried.

I get up and start to knock on the bathroom door.

"Charlie are you okay?" I call.

No answer

"Charlie!" I yell.

Chase walks into the room and looks stunned.

"Chase go back to your room please." I say trying to stay calm.

Chase looks terrified and worried but does what I say and turns around. I try to grab the key from the top do the door but it's not there. Charlie must of taken it. I run to the other side of our bed and grab the spare key I have.

I unlock the door with shaky hands. When the door flys open a wave of steam pours out of the bathroom. I wave it off and look around for Charlie. The curtains are closed but I can see a slimmer of Charlie's leg.

I fly the curtains open and see Charlie sitting in the shower his wrist deep red. Charlie's eyes are blood shot red and his hands are shaking, but he's unconscious, I think.

"Charlie." I say my voice cracking every syllable.

I scoop Charlie up with my hands and pull him out of the shower. His body is boiling hot and his skin is extremely red from the heat of the water. I lay Charlie on our bed and turn the water off in a hurry.

"CHASE!" I scream.

"Yeah?" He yells back.

"GET THE BANDAGES PLEASE." I scream.

A loud silence fills our house and then I hear a scurry of footsteps and then Chase opens the door and throws it too me he stands there for a second.

"Please don't look Chase." I cry.

I can't contain my tears anymore and all I can do is cry. All I can do is cry because as I try and wrap Charlie's wrists I can see him wincing in his somewhat of a coma.

My tears pour all over his body and when I finish wrapping him up I sit at the end of the bed waiting for Charlie to wake up.

My phone starts to blow up and when I check it it's Tori.

Tori:
Where are you?
Are you coming
Nicholas Nelson answer the phone
Are you coming?
Have plans changed.

Eighteen missed calls from Tori.

I call Tori.

"Finally, have plans changed or have you decided to ignore me." Tori belts from the other side of the line.

"Can you come pick Chase and Isaac up somethings happened with Charlie and I don't want them to see." I sob.

"What's happened." Tori asks. "You can tell me when I get there, I'll see you soon."

"Ok." I sob.

Tori hangs up the phone and as she does there a knock at the door. I know it's Chase.

I stand up and turn around getting ready to swiftly open and shut the door so that Chase doesn't see Charlie. I know Charlie wouldn't want Chase to see him like this so I'll respect his wishes.

"Yeah?" I call trying to compose myself.

I look over to the bathroom. Waves of steam are pouring out.

"Can I come in." Chase says.

"I'll come out." I say.

I walk to the door and as I open the door I shield the entrance with my body and step out and close the door.

"What's up?" I ask.

"Is Charlie okay?" Chase asks desperately.

"No but he's going to be okay." I say. "Tori is coming to pick you and Isaac up now, please go with her."

"No I want to stay with Charlie." He says.

"Chase you cant." I say.

"Please Nick, it's my brother."

"I know Chase, but I don't think Charlie would like you to see him in his current state."

"Why what's wrong with him." Chase says. "He's my brother I deserve to know."

"Chase-." I say before he try's to barge past me.

I hold him back from trying to get into the room before my arms feel wet and I don't feel anymore pressure on my arm.

I look down and see Chase sitting on the floor crumpled in tears. I squat down.

"Chase I know you want to see Charlie but you can't yet." I say. "He's not in the right state and neither are you, I'm sorry."

"Fine." Chase says. "But you promise to bring me in right as he is."

"I promise." I say.

There's a knock at the door. "Come with me to get that." I say.

I trust Chase a lot but in this situation it's little to none.

We open the door and Tori is standing in the doorway. She reads from my face that it's bad.

"Chase, why don't you go get ready cause I'm going to take you after I talk to Nick." She says.

"Im not dumb you know?" He says. "Just say that you need to speak privately with Nick and I need to leave the room god."

Chase stomps up the stairs and walks into his room. I hear him and Isaac talking but I can't make it out.

"Do you want to come see Char?" I ask Tori.

"Yeah." She sighs.

We walk up the stairs and pass Chases room and enter our bedroom. Charlie lay, eyes barely open.

"Char, are you okay?" I ask.

"Did Chase see?" He croaks.

"No, he didn't." I say.

"Good." He says. "Tori."

"Charlie, it's okay you need rest." She says. "I'm going to take Chas and Isaac to my place don't worry."

Charlie looks relieved as Tori says this. He closes his eyes again and starts to fall asleep again, in about three minutes he's out cold.

This is obviously hard for him.
