Nick and Charlie-one shots

"Nick? Nick??"⛔️

Tw-panic attack and anxiety.

Nicks pov:

God applying to university has been so overwhelming. Having to deal with rugby, on top of all my final tests, having to also finish my gcse. It's just so tiring. (Nick is in class with Charlie)

I wish things were easier than they are now. What would I even do in college? I don't even know what I wanna study. What do I even do with my life. I feel my thoughts racing a mile a minute. I start freaking out. Oh god I hate feeling like this.

My heart starts beating quick and I start to breath faster. Charlie notices, "Nick? Are you okay?"
I try to say yes but all I can get out is a "mhm" I feel his stare, "Nick?"nick??" The class is loud, I have Charlie asking me questions. My mind is fighting itself with all these different thoughts.

I can't breathe. I can't breathe. Oh god it feels like I'm dying, my hands are sweating, I see the room spinning. Oh god I have to leave, I leave the classroom and run to the bathroom. I hear a teacher behind me,"Nicholas Nelson get here right now!"

I close the door behind me and enter the bathroom. I'm hyperventilating now. I feel my heartbeat in my ears, my hands are shaking so much. My legs start feeling numb, so I sit down on the floor, face to my shoes. I then hear the door open. "Nick?" It's Charlie. He finds me on the floor and starts to sit down with me.

"Nick it's okay. I'm right here. Look at me nick." He brings his hands to my face and makes me stare him in the eyes. I start to calm down.

"Let's take a big inhale okay?" He inhales and I imitate him. I see his face, he's so worried. I grab his hand and squeeze it. I start to snap out of it, my breathing becomes lower, and my heart rate slows down.

After I'm calmed down, Charlie asks me "Nick what's wrong?"

It's hard to say it out loud. I feel so bad for putting this on him, he's already dealing with so much.
"I'm just really worried about college, and my future."

"Nick, your the smartest person I know, no matter what you decide to do I think- no I know that you will strive through it."

I look at him and he hugs me. I love him so much, I'm not ecstatic he saw me like that. I like to pretend to be strong and have no troubles, but why wouldn't I trust him? He's my boyfriend.
