Different outcome

Charlies POV

I answer the phone and wait for Tori to talk.

"Hello little brother, can I pick your brain for a minute?"

"Yeah sure what's up" I ask.

"If you were to get a ring what ring would it be?" She asks. "Like an engagement ring."

"Ummm why?" I ask curiously.

"Just incase, I am making a fact sheet on everyone, but I know everything except that." Tori says unconvincingly.

"Tell whoever is trying to get me to an engagement ring that they can figure it out themselves, now go away you random."

"Boring."

I hang up the phone and keep driving, honestly shocked because Tori had never really cared about that type of stuff. So I don't get why now is different. Whatever.

I turn into Isaac's street and stop outside his house. I beep my horn twice and Isaac comes out with Chases' bag in hand and Chase comes barging through the front door and he makes a fool of himself trying to put on his shoes.

"Hey guys!" I say winding down the window. "How was your night?"

"It was good we didn't do much, how is Nick?" Isaac asks.

"That's good, yeah he's doing okay." I say

Isaac gives me a pleading look and I instantly know exactly what he is trying to tell me and I seem to try to signal to him that I have it under control and that he will be able to just rest for now and Nick and I will be able to talk to him but I cant so I give a quick wink before Chase comes running up to the car and interrupts out silent conversation.

"Hey Char." He says.
"Hey Chase come on let's go, I'll see you soon Isaac be safe."
"I will, bye." He says turning to Chase."I'll message you later okay?"
"Okay, I'll charge my phone then." Chase says as he goes to hug isaac.

Chase gets into the car and as we pull away Isaac starts to wave us off. "How about some coffee?" I say turning to Isaac.

Isaac turns to me, he seems to ease at my words knowing i'm not going to talk about that with him just yet. I want to give him some calm before the storm because I know how hard it's going to be to talk about it especially to Nick and I. As we drive, Isaac starts to talk more and more about small things that he stopped talking about with me a long time ago.

"Remember when we were kids and you used to always win UNO?" He said.
"Yeah I was the biggest cheater." I laugh. "I would hide cards under the broken chair in the living room, why do you think everyone changed seats and I stayed in the one place, because the fabric was easy to move."
"WHAT!" Chase exclaims.
"Yeah sorry but I wouldn't let myself lose after making such a reputation for myself."
"That's the worst thing you could ever of done to the family." Chase scoffs. "Cheating in UNO is crazy work."

I laugh at Chase, whispering under his breath as he gains more and more anger about UNO games played a decade ago. As he calms down his mannerisms become more slow and dreading.

"So, your waiting to get home till we talk about it."
"No, Nick had a really bad episode last night, we will not be speaking about it as I know you've spoken about it with Isaac, if you choose to speak to me about it your more than welcome to."
"You sound like a manager."
"That's what dealing with idiots does." I say. "You just gain the ability to talk anyway."

We arrive home and he walks inside, Nick is now on the couch and I am waiting for him to say something but he doesn't, he says hi to chase. Gives him a hug and lets him go to his room.

"Your not?" Nick asks.
"We're not."
