Nick pov:

I pulled up on my house driveway and turned to the backseat, karl was still asleep. I let out a quiet groaned before getting out the car and opening the back door to pick karl up. I walked inside and unlocked the door as I walked inside I pushed my front door closed with my foot and walked into the living room. I set karl down on the couch and grabbed a blanket from the couch oppersite us, I placed it gently over karl, I smiled to myself and crouched down, he seemed so peaceful it was so.. cute..

Karl groaned and opened his eyes, he looked confused and within seconds he shot up "where am I?!" He growled and turned to me "why the fuck are you at-" he looked around and admired everything from the black couches to the marble kitchen "my home.." he finished his sentence and looked back at me "did we..."

"Oh god no!" I stood up abruptly and crossed my arms "I won't ever be interested in someone like you" I growled.

Karl rolled his eyes "yeah, yeah. Have you got any pain killers? And what happened?" He asked, I shrugged and walked into the kitchen before searching the place for the pain killers while answering his other question.

Karl pov:

I listen to Nick explain what happened and I felt my face fluster in embarrassment, why did I have to be so clingy when I was drunk? I was more sober now since I slept a while. I watched Nick walked back over to me and place a cup of water and a pill next to it on the small coffee table, I took the pill and downed some water "where are your parents?" I asked, Nick said nothing and sat on the other side of the couch to me,

"They are at work" he lied, why did Nick lie? Was there something he wasn't telling me?

"Why are you lying?" I muttered "don't lie to me" I growled quietly,

Nick huffed before saying "I don't see why you have to be a dick all the time" he turned his gaze to me and my eyes met his, he had such lovely brown eyes and his raven coloured hair looked so soft. What the fuck? Why am I thinking about this?!

I shook my head and replied with "I have my reason" I grinned

"What? Your reason is that your dad hits you?" He scoffed, I felt the colour from my face drain and I looked away "how do you know?" I asked coldly.

"That's not-"

"Where the fuck did you hear it from Nick?!" I yelled with tears streaming down my face, my hair covered my eyes and we both sat in silence.

Nick sighed and looked away "I saw you and your dad in the car park- I watched him slap you.." He answered quietly, I nodded and sighed before grabbing the remote for the tv,

"You got anything good to watch?" I asked scrolling through Netflix, Nick shrugged and kept his gaze turned away from me.

I put on a film and closed my eyes, I didn't really want to watch a movie I just wanted to distract Nick so he wouldn't see that I've fallen asleep. I closed my eyes and slowly fell asleep.

The next morning

Karl pov:

I opened my eyes and yawned as I groaned quietly, I looked around and found myself laying on top of Nick, he had his arms wrapped around me and my head was laid on his chest. I stared at him debating whether to move or to stay, I wanted to get up and leave but every time I tried to move Nick would jut hold me tighter so I gave up, I looked around and heard no one else in the house, where was Nick parents?
