Charlie's POV:

"So, you and Nick are ok?" Sarah asks.
"Yeah, we're ok."
"That's good. Are you going to his game, Darling?"
"Yeah. I'm...leaving tomorrow."
"Oh." She sounds sad.

I put my plate in the sink and give her a hug afterwards.

"I'll be back soon." I reassure her.
"I know."

~~

So, am I completely stressing out about going to Nick's game TOMORROW?
Yes.
But, am I VERY excited?
Absolutely.

"I'm going to bed, Darling. I'll see you tomorrow morning." Sarah walks in.
"Ok! Goodnight."
"Goodnight, Darling."

I hesitate, but pick up the courage and say:

"I love you."

She turns around and looks at me in aw.

"I love you too."

She leaves the room and I feel even happier than before. But, my mood slowly starts to change as I realise something.

I've not finished packing...

I grab my phone and call the "Rugby Lads 🏈👑" groupchat.

Only Sai answers.

S-"Hello?"
C-"Hi."
S-"What's up?"
C-"So, I've not finished packing yet..."
S-"Seriously, Spring?"
C-"Sorry! I was just calling to ask how long everyone's staying."
S-"Well, Christian and Otis are staying for 2 days and I'm staying with my girlfriend for 4, so if you want to join us, you can."
C-"Yeah, sure. I'd be nice to spend time all together again."
S-"Fully agree with you, mate."

Silence.

S-"Nick said you two got in a fight."
C-"Yeah."
S-"He literally sat on call with me for 2 hours just because he felt guilty for saying that stuff to you."
C-"He's so pathetic."

S-"You think? Anyway, I'll phone you tomorrow morning."
C-"6am?"
S-"On the dot."

We say goodnight and hang up.

I change into one of Nick's old hoodies and sweats, climbing into bed straight after.

I go to text Nick, but he's beat me to it.

Nick💙🐶
-Goodnight, Char xx

Charlie💛🐻
-Goodnight, Nick xx

It's an hour and a bit before I leave and Sarah's making herself breakfast.

"Have you had anything, Darling?" She asks.
"No, sorry."
"Do you want something quick?"
"Yes, please."

She goes into the cupboard and pulls out a bag of bagels.

"Bagel and cream-cheese?" she smiles.
"Yeah, thanks!"

She starts to make my bagel, so I check Instagram.
