Heartstopper

Ditching me 2.

"I just have the feeling, that he doesn't understand me !"
It didn't take long until Darcy replied .
"I know how you feel my dear gay friend. Tara seems to forget sometimes , that not just she's gay.
I am too and so are you."
"Exactly ! Like just because we're out doesn't mean , that it's any easier for us then for them !"
It didn't took long until Darcy answered again.
"Yeah , they fear what will happen when they come out but we ARE out ! We're facing it .
I mean I'm not mad at them for not being out , I'm mad at them for forgetting our feelings because we are."

I was about to answer until I heard the doorbell ring . I looked out of my window , not seeing a car on the street. It was raining , like it always was when Nick and I were fighting . It seemed like the weather adjusts to our relationship . Or maybe it was the exact opposite.
"Charlie ! It's for you ! He will be waiting downstairs"
I groaned and pushed my phone away, so I could stand up. I told Tao that I didn't want him coming over because I was in a bad mood.
Tory looked around the corner as I run down the stairs . Sometimes it just scares me, how silent she was . She would be an excellent spy !
"Tao ! I told you not to come ."
I exclaimed as I stepped down the last stairs . But as I looked up , I stopped .
"Nick."
Nick turned around , once again his clothes were soaking wet.
"Char."
I looked around , realizing my mum could come back any moment .
"Come upstairs ."
I turned around without saying anything and climbed up the stairs again. It took a few seconds but then I heard the stairs squeak behind me . I opened the door to my room as I heard a faint:
"Nick."
"Tory."

"So what are you doing here ?"
I crossed my arms , leaning with my back against my desk, facing Nick with cold eyes.
"I wanted to talk to you."
"About ?"
He sighed looking at me .
"About yesterday ."
"I don't know what there is to discuss."
"Cmon Char . I know you're mad ."
"Yes , I am."
"And I know that's my fault ."
"Yes , it is"
"And I want to apologize."
"Because ... ?"
"Because I sometimes forget that you have it just as hard as I have .Maybe even harder. And I shouldn't use me , not being out yet, as an excuse to hang around Imogen. When we already have a date there , then I should say no."
"Yes , yes you should ."
I nodded , agreeing .
"So , I am sorry."
I sighed looking at him.
"I'm too. I overreacted ."
Nick shook his head as he walked towards me .
"No, you didn't . You were right ."

He wrapped his arms around my waist , pulling me closer . I sighed , inhaling his sent . Even though we just didn't talk for one day , it felt like I was already missing him. Like it was a year , probably because we fought .

I looked up as my phone vibrated .
"Oh, I think I should answer Darcy. We're kinda talking shit about you right now, so give me a second."
