Description
Warning: THIS BOOK WILL EXPLORE MENTAL HEALTH AND OTHER SERIOUS TOPICS, LIKE HOMOPHOBIA THIS BOOK IS ALSO LIGHTHEARTED, don't worry!! Summary: Nick and Charlie are adults now, but their story is far from complete 🍂 A snippet from the book: "Char?" I perk up, no longer focusing on the soap plopping down from my head of hair to my arms and torso, "hm?" Nick lathers some more soap into my curls, causing them to awkwardly stick to my face. We're facing each other, our arms and legs tangled in one another. His eyes look sad. I can tell that he feels helpless, and I hate it. Before he can say anything I frantically pipe up, "I'm sorry, I'm so fucking sorry. I know how draining this must be, and how frustrating it is, but please don't give up on me." My lips are trembling as I speak, yet no tears can run. His eyes widened at my words, the look of sadness in his eyes intensifying, "I'm never going to give up on you Char, no one is. But you need to do me a favor, please don't give up on yourself." His words leave me shell-shocked, and I swear that a single teardrop manages to make it down my face, "I'm trying Nick, I am, but I'm getting tired." His hand reaches out to my face, immediately stroking my cheek once it grazes against my skin, "I know you are, baby." I can hear his voice start to break towards the end of his words. I can feel fear radiating off of him. Deeply exhaling, I manage to throw a small, genuine grin his way, "but I never plan on leaving you." (Uh- so basically I need more Heartstopper content in my life, SOOO I decided to supply myself and the public with our favorite couple PLUS the others 🫶)
