Nicks pov:

6:20
Friday

I get up from bed with a horrible headache. It feels like my head just might explode.  I was up crying almost all night so I guess I'm not surprised my head hurting. I've been extremely stressed out about-well everything. I don't know what I want to do when I'm older. I don't know what I want to study at college. I also am worrying about Charlie a lot. He's been doing better but I'm scared he will get worse again.

I get up from my bed and start to walk to my closet, I get out my school uniform as I start to change. I fix my hair to my usual side part and walk downstairs.

"Nicky, you all right my love?" As soon as I walk into the kitchen my mom looks at me worried. I smile weakly at her before replying.

"I'm fine."

She nods at me as she turns around to continue making breakfast.

"I'm going to work late tonight I'll be here around 8ish. If you need anything call me."

I nod at her and walk over to the front door.

"Your not eating breakfast?"

"Not hungry mom but thanks. I'll see you in the car."

"Nick!" I look up to see Charlie walking in form and sitting next to me. I immediately relax at the sight and smile. Since we are already out, I give him a small kiss before hugging him tightly.

"I haven't seen you in forever" I said as he snorts.

"You saw me Wednesday!" He says 'matter of factly'

"Exactly too long." I rest my head on his shoulder as he plays with my hair.

"You 'Kay?" He asks worried, I look up at him and sigh.

"Yeah." I open my book as class begins. I feel Charlie stare at me but he eventually looks down to his own book.

I walk out of class with a horrible headache and a mind full of thoughts. Did Charlie eat today? I saw him eat half a sandwich and an apple. Which is really good. Better then before he went to the hospital.

Did talk to the college counselor yet? I swore I did but I'm not sure. Have I done enough research on college? Is my mom safe?

"Nick?" I hear behind me and realize I'm already outisde.

I turn around to find Charlie clenching his bag.

"Hm?" I say while rubbing my eye.

"Are you okay?"

My eyelashes flutter as I open my mouth.

"Do you want to come over?" He nods ands walks up to me to grab my hand. I walk with him hand in hand to the bus station.

In the bus, we sit next to each other as we talk about our day. Charlie makes small comments which make it clear that he's worried about me, but I try to dismiss his worries because he can't get worse again because of me.

We finally get to our stop and continue to walk to my house. I open the door and hear barking. Nellie runs up to us panting and licking us.

"Hi nells!" Charlie bends down to cuddle her as I close the door. I sigh and throw my backpack on the floor as I head for the kitchen.

"Want something to eat?"

"No thank you. I'll have tea though."

Tears spring to my eye as I walk away from Charlie. Why am I crying? Maybe I'm just overwhelmed? Charlie ate today though, so why am I worried about him. Or maybe I'm worried about my future. Or I'm worried about my friends. Or worried about anything that is remotely important to me.

I blink the tears back as i softly sniffle. I turn on the kettle and began to make myself a sandwich. I feel my stomach hurt as I start to overthink all over again.

Did Charlie really eat? Or am I making myself think that and I'm just a really bad boyfriend? I speak before thinking.

"Did you eat today Charlie?" I turn around to find Charlie sitting on the chair using his phone.

"What?" He looks up at me confused.

I look at him attentively as he smiles sadly.

"Yes, Nick. I ate half a sandwich an apple and a granola bar between class. "

I sigh as I turn around and bring my plate to the table.

"Are you okay? You look really pale." He searches my face as I look at him. I smile slightly, "yeah, I'm okay."

I take a bite of my sandwich as I try to hide my shaky hands. What if he's lying like before? What if he is worried for me. Am I sure I picked the right colleges to apply too?

I suddenly feel nauseous as I run to the bathroom.

"Nick?"
(Warning speak about vomit.)

I throw up inside the toilet bowl as I clench my stomach. I hear Charlie run to the bathroom as he kneels next to me. He rubs my back slowly as I continue to vomit. He passes me paper towels to clean my face as he rubs my back very slowly.

I pant as I sit down next to the toilet and flush it. He gets up and sprays febreeze all over the bathroom.

"Sorry."

"Nick it's okay." He rubs my cheek as he pats my legs. He gets up and puts out a hand.

"Come, get up, and wash your mouth. You need to rest Nick."

I nod as I follow his instructions.
Warning over

I meet him on my bedroom. He has my "n" mug on my bedside filled with tea and he laid out my pajamas.

"Oop forgot something change and I'll be back"
God he's so sweet. I can't believe I got so lucky with him.

I change into my pjs as I get into bed. He comes in with chicken soup. This man made chicken soup for me. Oh my god. He places the paper towels and the bowl on the nightstand next to my mug. He comes into bed with me and reaches over for the mug.

He gives it to me and I sip it as he watches me.

"I'm not sick Charlie." I chuckle as he puts the mug down. He looks back at me and grabs my hand.

"What's wrong then? You seem off nick."

I sigh finally caving in.

"I'm just really worried- and anxious."

"About what Nick?"

"You." I pause before speaking again "and my future, and college and really about everything." I sigh as I feel myself cry. God I'm just so overwhelmed I don't really care if Charlie sees me cry right now.

"Oh nick." He says endearingly. He pulls me to him as he hugs me, I wrap his hoodie in my hands as I tug on it. He rubs my back and gives me a kiss on my shoulder.

"I'm okay now nick. I promised you if I wasn't I'd tell you but I'm okay." He takes a pause as I sniffle into his sweater.

"And whatever you do you're going to be great at. You have a whole year to decide what college to go to, and you have the whole college year to decide what to do. You have an amazing future ahead of you Nick. You'll be amazing no matter what."

"Thank you Charlie. Really." He looks at me and gives me a kiss on the forehead which makes me chuckle.

"I love you."

"I love you more." He gives me a small kiss and rubs my cheek as I sigh against his lip, feeling my worries melt away.
