Chapter 7-Bad dreams

Nicks pov:

I saw him wake up slowly. "Hey baby, how are you feeling?" I ask gently. I get no answer. He just looks at me blankly. His innocent eyes stare at me. He almost looks scared. "Honey, you look scared. Are you okay?" I ask as i stroke his cheek with my thumb. He nods his head no. I come closer as he gestures he wants cuddles. My heart just melts. He says quietly, "Bad dream. Ben" I then knew what happened. He rolls over, not facing me, and I wrap my arms around his waist and rub circles on his back. I try to soothe him saying, "It's okay, baby," and "It was just a dream he can't hurt u." it kind of works he drifts off back to sleep slowly. He deserves none of this. This boy deserves the world.

Pov: Charlie

I wake up I think, an hour later. I'm still tired I always am. I hate everything rn. Idk why I have to suffer like this I hate it so much. I don't wanna be here anymore. I'm just so happy I have Nick idk how he puts up with me. I'm so much. I'm too much. God, I don't deserve him.

I think he notices I'm up cuz he says "Hey lovely how are you feeling baby?"

I say "A bit better still tired tho" I am being a bit honest but idk how I feel.

Elle and Tao come to vist. We talk for a while and Tao goes on a rant abt a movie he wants to see badly and how we should watch it. Like we always do. I love how things feel normal. Like things always are. I just respond with short responses like "yea we should" and "That sounds interesting" don't have much energy to say much else but I love listening to them talk.

Visiting hours are over and Tao and Elle are going home. Luckily they allow Nick to stay. I have one more night till I can go home. Only two nights here isn't bad. I was told to eat dinner but I'm not hungry. I don't deserve food after what I did to everyone. I hurt everyone again. I always do. Every time I relapsed. I couldn't keep the promise I hate myself.

Nick says "Charlie honey please eat something. Even something little for me okay? Nothing big if you don't want bubs"

I try I do. I got jello I ate half and was done. Nick was okay with that. I just wanna make him happy. I feel so bad he has to deal with this. I'm so broken idk why he likes me. I then just go to sleep again with Nick holding me. I love how he holds me. I feel so safe and warm and gives me butterflies. I love him so much. I want him to hold me forever.
