![]() ![]() Our fingers were interlocked and my hair prickled at his neck from where I’d placed it on his shoulder. He sat there for a second before getting up with a sigh, “It’s fine, I’ll walk you.” “I don’t want mum to be mad, so if it’s okay I’ll go now, do you wanna walk me there?” Nick looked worried, his eyebrows knit together. “Hey, hey no, Char,” he took my hand, “don’t force yourself to, it’s not even nine yet, go when you feel ready to, you have time honey.” I took my blazer from the end of the bed and got up, against my wish to stay warm, to collect my bag from the floor. I didn’t want to bother Tori with having to deal with me sobbing again and poor Ollie hates it when mum shouts. My stomach lurched at the thought, but I couldn’t ask my mum, I’d probably get yelled at over the phone, and then when I got home. I think I can deal with going outside now though,” a stiff laugh left my lips, “it’s not like it’s a long walk.” “Er.I don’t think my mum would allow that. She didn’t like me staying out past nine until recently, why would she let me sleep over at Nick’s on a school night ? I moved to the edge of the bed and placed my feet on the floor, the cold immediately making me regret removing myself from Nick’s warmth. It was a school night, my mum would instantly say no. “You could sleep over?” I sat up, most of my weight on my hands in front of me. I moaned in reply, “A bit, but I don’t think I can deal with walking home right now.” “You feeling any better champ?” Nick asked, I could feel his eyes on me. He raked his hands through my hair again, his fingertips grazing against my scalp, though it was fleeting, sent currents down my spine, relaxing me as he reached the nape of my neck.
