Summary
“You’re Nick and Charlie, so you’re gonna be fine.”
Spoiler alert: - we weren’t fine. Not even close.
Nick and I had believed we could make a long-distance relationship work. We loved each other, we were positive, and we were strong. But the distance between Truham and Leeds could have been a million miles; the journey lasted hours, train tickets took all our money, and I… well, I turned into a bitch. There’s no other word for it.
I pushed and pushed until Nick did something terrible. Something that broke us apart. Something that sent me spinning back into a relationship with a man who’d already abused me as a boy. The scars from that terrible time – mental, physical – followed me over the following six years.
And that’s when Nick found me again. Still playing with Queer Intentions. Directionless, miserable, still deeply scarred by the past.
But here’s the thing… we live in the same city now. The past is another country, so they say. Can we move past what happened?
Do I even want that?
Can we rekindle what we had before… or does it risk sending me into another self-destructive spiral?
