I guess life is a mystery - Nick And Charlie Fan Fic

part 6- best friends

On the way home charlie can't stop crying, he keeps loosing his breath he's crying that much.
C- it's making me feel ill nick, the crying, and what just happened.
N- just don't talk charlie, think of happy things, imagine you getting your dream dog, just don't talk, it will make it worse.
Charlie just nodded his head.
I think it worked a bit, but he still couldn't calm down fully, I mean neither would I. I feel so so bad for him. It was just little whimps until we got to my house.

I take charlie up to my room and give him some space. " you don't have to talk charlie, just get some rest, i will go downstairs and give you some space."No, stay please." He said it in such a small voice I hardly heard him. "Please, Nick."
"Al'right,"

"Charlie, uh, tori said that if you want to spend the night, you can, if your okay with that, I can sleep on the floor or the sofa if you don't feel comfortable with it."

He had already dozed off, his eyes were red, and tears were still dripping down. I don't think he wanted to talk anyways, I mean, I wouldn't if that was me. I grabbed a spear duvet and slept on the floor, I didn't want to wake him up or make him feel uncomfortable.

In the middle of the night, I woke up, and charlie was gone? So I assumed he went home, I didn't have a text or anything, though.
So I went to the bathroom, but it was locked? My mum was fast asleep in bed so it must be charlie? I knocked on the door and he unlocked it and ran out into my room. I couldn't tell if he was crying or not? I followed him back in there and just silence. I didn't even hear a peep. He was just lay with a pillow against his head on my bed.

N- charlie? What happened? Are you okay?
C- 3952
N-what?
C- the password to my phone.
He tossed me his phone. He was getting messages from Ben.

Charlie's pov: I tossed nick my phone and repeated 3952

The message from Ben read out:

Ben- I'm going to kill you charlie, if you don't come to mine in the morning I will kill you.

N- oh-my-god. I was too stunned to speak.

Nicks pov:

I sat down next to charlie,

N- charlie, ignore him
C- but he's gonna kill me.
N- no, no, he's not.
C- HE IS NICK HE IS, IM NOT GOING TO HIS HOUSE.
N- I laid down next to charlie and he looked at me, charlie, your safe, I won't let him do that, he's just saying it to scare you.
C- but Nick, what am I meant to do?
N- death threat, charlie its a death threat, I can report to the police.
C- You're the best friend I've ever had, I've only known you for 2 weeks? Why are you doing this for me?
N- because I'm the best friend you've ever had, that's why.

That made him laugh, the tears weren't gone though.

I went to go to the floor again, but charlie grabbed my hand and said, "Stay, please, I'm scared." So I did.

Charlie's pov:

In the morning at 8:00am on a Saturday, I woke up with nick still being asleep next to me, it made me smile. I sent a text to Ben "no" he saw it, no reply, I was really scared. I started shivering. And shaking. I was so, so scared. So I did something stupid, kind of I guess? I mean he never knew, but i put my hand on nicks and pretended to be asleep, once I heard a noise, signalling that he had woken up, I moved my head closer and closer to him, still like I was asleep and just fidgeting. That's when I stopped panicking, I heard him giggle. About 10 minutes later, I slowly opened my eyes and stretched up, nick quickly looked away, I have a feeling he was staring. No charlie he's straight.

N- tired?
C- whilst yawning- very
We both giggled.
C- Nick.
N-yes char?
C- I sent a text to Ben just saying no and he hasn't replied, I'm really scared.
N- you coming with Me to the police?
C- you don't have to do this I'm sure I'll be fine
N- he deserves it.

Nicks pov:

I'm definitely not straight.
I woke up and Charlie's hand was about 1 inch away from mine, his head slightly shuffling to my shoulder, I couldn't stop staring at him, at first I thought I liked him as a best friend. But I couldn't help myself from thinking how I want to cuddle him, and kiss him. His hair looks so soft. I just want charlie. I LIKE CHARLIE SPRING. God that felt good writing that, I like charlie spring. All the pressure is gone.
