It is clear, that Charlie Springs mental health is tipping, he was recovering from the mental hospital, he spent 7 months there, partly due to the fact that he has anorexia . He had coping mechanisms, some good and some not so good. He always went about his day, worrying about wether he looked good or not, if people were talking about him, and many other things, his head was a big lump of worry, as always. His therapist, Geoff said it was social anxiety, but Charlie just thought he was full of shit though.
He has just now realised he is having a panic attack , because his teacher had embarrassed him infront of the whole class, several times, and people saw his scars. His body went on autopilot, its like his mind blacked out and it was his body controlled him then the next thing he knew, he was sitting on the floor of his bathroom, sleeves up, blade in hand, and blood rolling off his arms. when he snapped back to reality, he went to check his phone, shaking, it was a message from Nick.
nick❤️: Hey char! how's your day? I'll be at yours in 10! sound ok?
Charlie started to panic as he had just relapsed, and there was blood everywhere, the cuts were deep and he was about to pass out. His hands were shaking, he was sweating and crying. He scrambled to reply, wincing as his arm accidentally rubbed against the towel. He decided to call nick. He picked up almost immediately,
"hello? " Nick said, cheerfully, but you could hear a bit of worry in his voice.
" Nick, Tori's in the living room, doors open, im in the bathroom." His voice grew quieter, " im about to pass out. "
Nick was very worried now, he sped up his car and rushed to the Springs home, " okay Charlie, im nearly there, stay with me okay? " His voice started cracking, and tears were streaming down his face.
Charlie had passed out, and Nick sprinted into the smaller boys house telling Tori to go with him, they both made it into the bathroom. Thankfully the door was open, but it as a horrifying sight to see, Charlie was laying there, passed out. Blood everywhere. Nick knelt down and was holding Charlie as Tori cleaned up, both shaking and sobbing.
" Everything will be okay " said Tori, in what she tried to make a reassuring voice.
Barely over the ringing in her ears, she could hear Nick murmuring things into Charlie's ears.
" Ill call the ambulance and our parents " said tori, when she finished cleaning up.
" okay " said Nick, in a relatively quiet voice.
--------------------
The ambulance had arrived, and Charlie was getting laid on the bed and his parents arrived , Charlie was still passed out, but the blood had finally stopped, his arms were bandaged.
" oh my baby, what happened? " asked Jane
" I don't know, he just, relapsed. We never found out why. " replied nick, with a sad expression on his face.
Nick stayed at the spring household, with Tori and a thankfully sleeping Olly.
" it will be okay. " said Nick, to Tori.
Tori looked up at Nick, with a sad smile, " I hope so. "
