One Lover Affects Two

"I think I've seen this film before
And I didn't like the ending
I'm not your problem anymore
So who am I offending now?"
- Exile by Taylor Swift Ft Bon Iver

This is an AU. This doesn't tie into the actual story.
Btw I do not ship B*n and Nick. This is just a random story idea that came to mind. Sorry if it came across that way.

What if Charlie and Ben's relationship was history repeating itself? What if Nick went out with Ben before Charlie did and wanted to ensure Charlie didn't go through the same thing?

TW: Abusive relationship, B*n H*pe, SA, anxiety, swearing, PTSD
