(Short story sorry!!)

Nicks pov:
I don't really remember when I first saw Charlie and noticed his... how do I say it...eating thing. All I'm concerned about is how little Charlie eats compared to people. I think he has an eating disorder but how am I even supposed to bring that up?

I'm just worried

"Nick are you listening"

"Hmm?" I see Charlie looking at me with his big doe eyes."Sorry yeah I am"

Charlie started ranting again about his "bad" grade on a math test ( it was a 95%) while we walked the rest of the way to his house.

Charlie's pov:

Me and Nick we're walking to my house after school, it's a Friday so my parents work late night shifts and we had the house to ourselves.

I wanted to stare at his beautiful eyes and his smile all night. But something was off today.

He wasn't as chatty as usual, he was sort of just listening.

"Nick, are you okay?"

"Hmm? oh yeah char I'm fine don't worry"

"Oh okay.."

time skip~

When we finally got home, we went inside and started taking off our shoes. I took my jacket off, when I took it off my sweater was raised up revealing a bit of my wrist and arms that were covered with fresh scars. I saw Nick stop and stare at them, it wasn't until I noticed what he was staring at that I pulled my sleeve down quickly.

"Char what the hell is that"
Nick said worried. His eyes started tearing up

"oh.. uhm  don't worry it's nothing I just scratched myself walking into a bush"

My whole body was shaking.

"It was the funniest story ever act-" I said as an attempt to change the topic of the conversation

"No it isn't char. You can talk to me." Nick interrupted me.

"You know that right?"

"Char?"

Silence surrounded the room.

"I've noticed your not eating as much.." Nick continued to say, " Charlie, I think you have an eating disorder. Are you okay?"

I started to cry but I faced the floor,trying to avoid looking at his face. I then felt a warm hand cupping my chin and ear. Nick made me face him. "Char, I'm worried about you."

"I'm sorry nick. I'm so so so sorry." I said while sobbing. He hugged me tightly and started crying as well.

"No, don't say sorry Charlie it's all okay. You are gonna be okay."

We stood there at the corridor for a while until we both stopped crying.

"Can we find a movie to watch please? I don't want to talk about this right now."I said sniffling.

"Ofc char come let's go"
