The rest of the day passes by in a blur, I manage to act as though everything's normal at break, but I can feel nicks eyes on my constantly.

Charlie knows something happened, of course he does, but he has the sense and respect not to bring it up in front of the others

It comes as a huge relief when the bell signalling the end of the day Finally rings

Charlie: I'll walk you home y/n

Y/N: charlie... are you sure that's ok with your mum?

Charlie: yeah yeah she won't mind

Y/N: okay um... see you guys tomorrow

Tao: bye guys

Elle: see you tomorrow

Isaac: byeee

Charlie takes my arm and begins to walk

Charlie: so do you wanna tell me what happened earlier?

Y/N: he... we almost... but then

Charlie: what?

Y/N: nothing really happened, he just came into the corridor to see if I was ok then i came back in the classrooom

Charlie: you and I both know that's not true but i won't pressure you to say anything about it just yet ok

Y/N: thanks Char...

He squeezes my arm a little tighter

Y/N: this is me

I say, pointing at my house

Charlie: I'll walk you to the door

Y/N: thank youuu

Angie: HI Y/N- oh! Who's this?

Y/N: this is my friend Charlie

Charlie: nice to meet you

Angie: would you like a cup of tea charlie?

Charlie: I shouldn't, mum will want me home, but I might take you up on that offer soon!

Angie: you're welcome here anytime!

Y/N: bye charlie

I give him a quick hug then watch as he walks down the street, waving goodbye

Angie: he seems nice

Y/N: he's lovely, and he's been through so much

I make my way up the stairs and see I have a new message from nick. I debate not even opening it, surely the best way to get over nick is to erase him. But, after earlier, I think I have to see

Instagram:

Nick: y/n, about earlier, im so sorry if I made you uncomfortable

Y/N: nick you didn't it's ok

Nick: are you sure? You ran off pretty quick after

Y/N: i was nervous that was all

Nick: do I make you scared!? I'm so sorry!

Y/N: no, just a little nervous. In a good way

Nick: oh. Really?

Y/N: yeah I guess

There's a pause before the next message

Nick: so I saw that there's a dog in your profile picture? Is he yours?

Y/N: yea his name is Desmond he's a sweetheart

Nick: awww! He should meet my dog, Nellie!

Y/N: you have a dog as well!?

Nick: hell yeah! We could take them out on walks together

Y/N: that would be great

I put my phone down and beam at the ceiling. Damn it nick Nelson, I'm falling all over again.
