[Beep, Beep, Beep] The heart machine beeps in ellipses. Nick hangs over Charlie hoping for a sign. Charlies mom strolls in. Tears in her eyes and makeup smudged trying to keep a smile on her face. "Charlie?" She says distraught. Nick hugs his unconscious body. "I love you.." He whispers and leaves the room. "Miss Spring?" The doctors ask. She replies, "Yes thats me." She wipes her tears and pulls her self together. She has to expect the worst. The doctor reluctantly says "He's in a coma ma'm...I'm sorry." She sobs. Her only child ripped away from her. "Will he wake up?" She replies. The doctor shakes his head and leaves. She looks to the mirror and Nick walks in. "You alright Misses S?" He asks She goes and hugs him. "What happened? I mean... Why my baby boy?? He was completely fine!"She exclaims in unimaginable pain. "Can i stay with you?" He asks. She shakes her head. She knows she can't stop his life just because her's is falling apart. " You need to go. Go! Go now!" She yells.
He leaves. Hurt. Lost. Annoyed.

When Nick gets to school he sees Tara and Darcy carrying flowers. They run ti him and hug him. "Is he okay?" Tara asks
"Are you okay?" Darcy adds. He nods and they go to class. "What's  that?" Darcy says in complete and utter shock. Harry was in the music room where they'd had their first kiss. He grabs onto someone and kisses them passionately. "OMFG" Darcy yells. Harry had kissed someone they all know. "Ben!" Tara shouts They all shush her and run through the corridors to class. Nick walks into class with a smile to hide his hurt, he finds everyone had made a photo collage of Him and Charlie to show him that he wasn't alone. Charlie speaks and utters "He'll be fine...We'll be fine." His voice breaks and he sits in his seat. Alone. Until Imogen comes up to him
and sits down. She says "It's your fault. Why didn't you just tell him what we were actually doing?!" He replies "You know why. He knows i'm bisexual he would've thought i was lying. Anyways- I don't think of you that way Imo. I love him. He's my better half and i'm nothing without him. I need him. And i know it's my fault but i cant blame myself. Not now."
Elle and Tao see them talking and get annoyed. They don't know the full story but they're angry. "You need to go and see Charlie at lunch." They exclaim. "Kiss him. True loves kiss will wake him up" Tao deters and says "Well he obviously doesn't love him or he wouldn't have kissed Imo."
"I didn't-" Nick tries to reply but his phone rings. It reads (Misses S). He leaves the classroom and takes the call.
"Nick. He's had movement! Come quickly!"
"Okay" He replies and runs over to the Hospital.
