Trigger warnings?: Ed,
At nicks house
Karl's pov:
Me and Nick pulled up to his driveway, it was silent the whole journey here and even if Nick wanted to speak I could tell he didn't know what to say. I stepped out the car and looked at the mansion like house, of course it wasn't a mansion but it seemed to be quite big of a house. Nick grabbed my bags that we got on the way here, yeah we stopped off at my house luckily my father wasn't there.
"Where will I be sleeping?" I asked turning my attention to Nick, he looked back at me and replied with "we will figure that out when we get inside" he headed over to the door and unlocked it.
Once we were inside I closed the door behind me and turned to see a woman hugging Nick, "oh darling! How was school?" She asked, she had a very strong Greek accent, her jet black hair stood still behind her shoulders and after Nick replied her big brown eyes turned to my direction.
"Is this the boy you texted about that was staying?" She asked excitedly, for an middle aged woman she seemed to act very much like a child— she walked over to me and went to wrap her arms around me but I stood back.
"Sorry I don't do well with hugs-" I said trying to make it sound calmly, the women nodded slowly
"Well, it's nice to meet you..?"
"Karl" I replied, the women smiled warmly
"My names kenzie" she turned to Nick who had walked up the stairs "oh Nick! Don't be so rude and show Karl to his room!" She shouted up the stairs "go on dear, your room is up the stairs and too the left" I nodded without saying a word and walked up the stairs, the walls were framed with family photos and memories filled them, to be honest I was jealous of Nick he seemed to have a perfect life and all I had was a shit father and a dead mother. I took the turn to my room to see Nick putting my bags down next to the bed, I walked in and looked around the room, running my hand along the furniture. I remembered where most of everything was in the house but there was one room I didn't know, the room next door to nicks,
"What's the room next to yours?" I asked just as Nick was about to walk out,
Nick turned to me and then looked back at the door "my younger sisters room, you'll probably meet her later- she's at her friends" he responded coldly.
"No need to be so cold with me Nick- I'm staying here for awhile remember" I grinned, Nick looked at me carefully before nodding.
Time skip to 7pm
It took a few hours to organise the room how I wanted it to be, nicks mum also checked on me a few times to see if I was doing okay, she seemed very nice but on the other hand I hadn't met nicks father yet. I flopped down onto the bed and pulled out my phone scrolling through Twitter, I hadn't streamed in a few weeks and I knew Nick had a pc I could probably use. Without thinking I got up and my feet made their way to nicks room, who was heavily sleeping, I walked over to his pc and turned it on sitting on his chair.
I began streaming and read the chat, people were saying they kissed me and asked why I hadn't streamed in a while, of course my chat didn't know about my home life and I didn't plan on saying anything or mentioning anything about it,
"Good to see you too chat" I smiled into the camera, I kept my voice down trying not to wake up Nick. I saw that Nick had Minecraft on his pc and so I decided to play it, half way through playing Minecraft I got a donation
"Hey Karl! Just wanted to say I love you and I think everyone wanted to know why you changed your room around?" The Dino read out.
I took a few seconds to think before giggling "thank you for your love, very much appreciated and I'm staying a friends house for awhile—"
After about 2 hours of streaming I heard a voice behind me and jumped only to see Nick was awake and probably had been listening in to my stream.
"You stream?" He asked, I shrugged and nodded slightly
"Just a hobby I guess, I used to stream when my father wasn't home because he didn't like that shit but he started getting home earlier so I didn't have time to stream I guess" I said shrugging it off, Nick frowned and got up before making his way over, god he was so hot when he first wakes up.
"Wow nearly 3 millions followers, not bad for someone with a shit personality" he joked, I rolled my eyes playfully and pushed him away slightly before leaning back in the chair.
"Geez— your so annoying Nick and yes my followers love me, do you stream often?" I asked and looked up at the male. He shook his head
"Never really had time to be honest, always busy with school" the ravenette replied with an awkward smile, I looked up at him and then stood up
"Do you want to uh.." I searched in my head to find words but was cut off when nicks mum called for us, we looked at each other and then I followed Nick downstairs. A smell filled the air as we walked into the dinning room, there sat kenzie another man and a young girl who looked around 10,
"Come sit with us Karl, you can sit next to mia" kenzie smiled sweetly as she filled the plates with food. I hesitated before sitting next to the girl and Nick sat next to me.
"Thank you for the meal.." I smiled and looked down at the food on my plate, thoughts raced through my head and all reality seemed to be blocked out.
'If you eat, you'll get fat'
'I don't want you eating till I've eaten!' I wasn't allowed to eat until everyone else had eaten, I snapped back into reality when kenzie asked if I was okay.
"Oh- uh- yeah just- not hungry" I smiled sadly, she seemed to not notice how my smile was sad though,
"Of course sweetie I'll put it in the microwave for when you are hungry" kenzie said grabbing my plate and getting up.
'Which will never happen..'
"M-May I be excused?" I asked quietly, nicks father nodded
"Of course son" without a word I silently got up and left.
Nick pov:
I watched as Karl left without eating, my attention turned back to my mom when she sat back down because she was looking at me.
"Something wrong?" I asked with a slight annoyance,
"Don't speak to your mother like that Nicolas" my father snarled, I nodded and looked down, if I'm honest- I was worried about Karl.. I've never seen him eat in school before and I know I definitely didn't see him eat at all today, he may take other peoples money but he never spent it on any food. Did he not get fed at home?
"Does Karl have an eating disorder?" My mother suddenly asked, I said nothing and turned to Mia
"Can you go upstairs please? This is a conversation I don't want you to know about.." I smiled, my sister nodded and then walked up to her room.
"What's going on with Karl sweetie?" My mom asked. I honestly didn't know what to say, should I tell her? But what if Karl didn't want me to?
"I don't think.. I don't think it's my place to say mom, but all I know is that Karl doesn't have a good home life and I think it's best if he stayed here" I explained, my parents agreed and with that I got up and walked upstairs.
