Stuck in a daze Elle turns to Tao with a smile " That was a great kiss." He smiles back. Their glow with love. Tao knows he loves Elle, Elle loves him too but they've never said it. Their teacher turns to them and yells "No kissing in class! How many times guys!" They giggle. Whilst talking about what beautiful future children they'd have together, they spot Nick from the corner of their eyes. Nick is stood slantedly in the corridor leaning on the the wall. There's a girl. "Imogen." Elle whispers. Imogen lustly stares at Nick. Tao enraged (as he usually is) says "I knew Nick would be bad for Charlie! I told him but nooo trust the straight jock every time." "Shhhh!" Elle replies. Imogen grabs Nicks tie and kisses him. Not a friendly kiss, a kiss that showed a sign Elle and Tao knew would mean charlie's heart would break in two. "Right! I'm stopping this." Tao yells and he charges towards them. He says "NICK?! I gave you the benefit of the doubt for charlie's sake, for charlie's happiness! You made a big mistake!" Nick glances at Tao with a frown. Imogen rolls her eyes and jaunts away.In the locker rooms Charlie was getting changed for his last game of rugby before quitting. Ben says " Good you're quitting the team today fag, no one wanted you anyways." The locker room fills with laughter. Charlie frowns. Harry adds "Aww is the little queer gonna cry?" The laughter fills again. He runs out of the room and leaves his stuff behind. Upset. Bullied. And lost. He knows he has to talk to Nick, Nick is the best at calming him down. Down the hallway Tao spots Charlie crying, sitting on the floor alone. He runs up to him and looks at him with discontentment. He knows this'll hurt. Really bad. Tao says "Look, i know this is horrible timing but... Nick cheated on you..with Imo." Charlie looks into Tao's eyes and it felt like his heart shattered like glass into a million pieces. His eyes swelled up with tears and his head filled itself with thoughts. Dark thoughts. Charlie says "I dont belive you."
Tao replies "I know but-"
"I know you dont like him! You're lying."
At that moment Elle turns the corner. Looking at them with even more grief for Charlie. He asks her "Is it true?" A single tear runs down her face and she sighs.
He shouts "IS IT TRUE?" They jump.
She utters "Yes...i'm sorry, but it's true."
Charlies love dies. His soul splits and his eyes run a waterfall. He gets up and walks to find Nick.In the class everyone is talking about the 'News'. One student says "I heard Nick couldn't keep his hands off Imogen. That slut took my chance!" Another says "Well i heard Imogen's the one who initiated it." All their voices overlap one another but then... Charlie walks in. He sees Nick with his arms crossed, as they usually are, and he wipes his tears. "You.....you-"
"Charlie i promise it's not what you think it is!"
Charlies vision blurs. And his heart stops. No literally his heart stops! He falls to the ground the last thing he saw was Nick over him, crying for him to wake up...but it all fades to black.
