05:24because it was all my fault I shouldn't have kissed you see if maybe there's a
05:28chance we can still be friends Charlie I don't want to lose you because I did
05:30something stupid Charlie
05:37I'm just so sorry I ran away last night I was just freaking out because I I was
05:51confused and surprised and like honestly I'm having a proper full-on gay crisis
06:02and it's not that I didn't want to you know kiss you I just I was just so
06:13confused I just think I need some time to figure this out
06:21you
06:28it was nice to be able to ditch my friends for once all they want to do at
06:32lunch is just sit on the field and chuck stuff for people my friends are nothing
06:36like you is it okay if we like keep this a secret
06:42yeah it's fine Nick did I forget something

07:12bowling and I was gonna ask if you want to come but I know you don't really know
07:16so you don't have to yes you definitely choose it oh yeah how you have strong
07:22rugby arms I thought you liked my arms shut up
07:26thanks for giving me barely any time to get you a present you don't have to give me a
07:30present no I ain't gonna I'm serious I should have met you when I was younger
07:38I wish I'd known then what I know now I don't know what I am
07:46you don't have to figure out right now I didn't just wake up one day like oh look
07:51guess I'm gay now I genuinely didn't have time to go out and buy you something
07:57sorry it's a bit handmade that was just one of my favorite days ever I told her
08:05we're together what I told her we're going out
08:15you're amazing I really like you you like me wasn't that obvious do you like
08:23me yes obviously
08:29Oh
08:31I'm gonna kiss you so bye right now okay you don't have to I want to Wow
08:39see I make good choices
08:44you and Charlie you two are together yeah I'm so happy for you I mean I'm
08:55happy for you too but you didn't have to witness all the months of intense
08:58pining I'm so sorry it's fine no Harry was being a complete idiot and some of
09:09the others were being really unfriendly and we should have just left what
09:13happened I kind of got into a fight with Harry he didn't have to do that I don't
09:22even want to be friends with those people I'm tired of all of them
09:38I mean the fight with Harry was my fault it wasn't it was I've been making your
09:43life really difficult so I was thinking maybe it would be better if if we just
09:56Charlie seems like a lovely boy when did you meet him a couple months ago it's
10:02very different your other friends isn't it you see much more yourself around him
10:05do I you do
10:13why is he avoiding you I think maybe he's finding it hard having to lie to
10:19people about us he's not angry about me being the closet or anything like he
10:25knows I'm not ready to come out
10:30look I've known Charlie since we were 11 and he's always had a tendency to
10:36believe that him just existing is annoying for other people and he would
10:42literally never tell you this but he probably wants to be something more than
10:46secret guy you kiss sometimes on the down low and if you can't give him more
10:49than that then it's always gonna make him feel a little bit crap about himself
10:56you should talk to him I don't want to break up
11:02I know people have hurt you and you feel like I'd be better off without you but I
11:07need you to know that my life is way better because I met you you don't have
11:12to say that I do and I'll keep on saying it until you believe me I don't care
11:17about getting into fights or pissing off my mates or anything like that it's all
11:22worth it to be with you I mean you are the kindest most thoughtful and caring
11:28and amazing person in the whole world and if you really want to break up then
11:33I would respect your decision but I want us to be together
11:37you're my favorite person I need you to believe me
11:40Nick I believe you I never thought this would happen to me
11:49we need her
11:54I like Charlie's free in a romantic way not just a friend way now we're gonna
12:00tell people
12:03I came out to my mom last night oh my god how did it go really well she's
12:14completely fine with it
12:22want a well-done kiss yeah kissing at school is a terrible idea you know you

20:12very deeply I see what you're doing ah my plans been foiled can we leave I
20:24thought this is what you wanted I'm not worried about people seeing us together
20:28why should they have to see we've been so obsessed with the idea of coming out
20:33it's like we've forgotten why we wanted to do it in the first place it's not for
20:38them I know I've been stressed about coming out but only I realized how
20:43stressed out you've been about it do you want to stop and get something to eat
20:47you can walk to the shop I'll eat later I had a really late breakfast you can
20:53though you never told me about the bullying what that was like we didn't
21:04need to talk about that everything's fine now is everything fine I'm still
21:10forking breakfast so you didn't eat that much breakfast

21:43I don't feel very well I think it surprised me how homophobic people are I
21:50thought things are better nowadays people would just call me disgusting to
21:57my face and it went on for so long that I think I started to believe what they
22:03were saying I know I don't eat like normal people some days I'm fine but
22:10other days I feel like I need to control it I used to do it a lot last year and
22:18everything at school was really bad maybe you really hate myself so much
