Speaker A

Let's see. Where did I put you on this seating plan? Ah, yes. You're over there next to Nicholas Nelson. He's in Year 11, so only one year older than you.

Speaker A

One of the rugby boys, don't you think? I'm sure you'll get along swimmingly. Hi.

Speaker A

Hi. Can't believe you've been sat next to Rugby King Mick Nelson. Like, what are you even going to talk about every [music] morning? We talked really. Hi.

Speaker A

Hi. Hi. Hi. Are you literally doing your homework or walking into your lesson? I might be. Be careful. What? Why? Why? Look at them.

Speaker A

Look at us. I can tell you the answer. Then I won't learn. But if you're stuck, I can just— Let me just— Oh, how dare you! But like Nick, he's different. He's nice. Look better.

Speaker A

Maybe Charlie, you don't have a tissue, do you? [music] My pen just, uh, exploded.

Speaker A

Hypothetically, what sort of boy do you want to go out with? Just someone I can have a laugh with and he's nice and kind and nice being with me.

Speaker A

You play the drums. Yeah, that's so cool. Thanks. I had something I wanted to ask you. Do you want to go out with me? Do you want to join the rugby team?

Speaker A

What? I saw you run in PE and you're like really fast. So, um, I thought you might be [music] interested. I—I don't really know how to play. That's fine. I can teach you.

Speaker A

Does he even like sport? Everyone knows he's dead. Hi. Hi. Don't you think I, of all people, would understand you figuring out your sexuality? Then why are you angry at— I'm angry 'cause you never even slightly cared about my feelings. We'll never meet up

Speaker A

when you want to, where you want to, when you feel like kissing a boy.

Speaker A

[music] You don't care about me at all. Well, it's not like anyone else is going to want to go out with you, is it?

Speaker A

I know you like me. Stop it. He told you to stop. We should get out. Bye. Bye.

Speaker A

Sorry. You have nothing to be sorry about. Sorry. You say sorry a lot. Don't say it. I kind of want to say it.

Speaker A

Don't buy it. So, I, um, heard about you coming out last time. That's really brave.

Speaker A

I'm Ben. This is Nelly. Oh my God, she's so cute. I wish I had a dog. You should come around my house and meet her.

Speaker A

Hey. Hey. This is Nelly. Hi, Nelly. You got a haircut. You look bad. No. [music] No. You look— It looks great.

Speaker A

Charlie seems like a lovely boy. When did you meet him? Couple months ago. [music] You seem much more yourself around him.

Speaker A

Do I? You do. Who you texting? Come on. Who's DM? I haven't. God, he's definitely ching someone.

Speaker A

Nick a girl. You might as well give up right now. He's the straightest person I have ever seen.

Speaker A

What? What's up? Do you want to come around my house? Hey. Hey, [music] you're terrible. I'm trying. Here, watch out. Let me help.

Speaker A

[music] You're a pro. Now, I wish [music] you didn't have to go in. I wish I didn't either.

Speaker A

You look [music] so cuddly like that. Do I? [music] [music] Oh, um, nothing with talking about Tara [music] Jones. Apparently, she's going to be at Harry's party.

Speaker A

What about her? Do you want to go to Harry's party with me? I don't know. It doesn't really sound like my sort of thing. Please come. I want you to be there.

Speaker A

Okay, Tara joins us here. So what? This is your big second chance, mate. I don't really feel that way.

Speaker A

It's fine. I don't feel that way about you either. Yeah, I'm just going to go find Charlie.

Speaker A

What? That nerdy little you attack. Why did you even hang out with him? He's my friend.

Speaker A

But why? Do you just feel sorry for him? 'Cause he's gay. [laughter] I don't know if I want to hang out with those guys anymore.

Speaker A

I'd rather hang out with you anyway. Should we go somewhere quieter again? Okay. You like Toro? What? No. No.

Speaker A

Definitely not. Would you go out with someone who wasn't bigger? Maybe. Would you kiss someone who wasn't a girl?

Speaker A

I don't know. Would you kiss me? [music] Nick, you're okay. [music] I just want to talk.

Speaker A

There's no need to start anything just 'cause you're in a bad mood at my birthday party.

Speaker A

Guess I was just [music] in a mood. Yeah, exactly. [laughter] So, we're good. Yeah.

Speaker A

Just come in. You're getting soaked. Yeah, good idea. I'm so sorry. It was—I didn't think properly about what I was doing and [music] I don't want to lose you because I did something stupid.

Speaker A

Charlie, I'm just so sorry I ran away last night. I was just freaking out because I was confused and [music] surprised and like honestly I'm having a proper full-on gay crisis.

Speaker A

Hi. I missed you. I saw you in form like 4 hours ago. You know, you and Nick Nelson are looking suspiciously cuddly.

Speaker A

My friends, he's my friend. We're friends as in friends or friends. Is it friends?

Speaker A

I promise. We're totally platonic good friends. She knows. Okay, I know. Let me see.

Speaker A

Charlie's not going to give up on Nick Nelson, is he? Highly doubt it. So, it's kind of my birthday on Saturday.

Speaker A

Is it? [music] Watch out, dickle. You're right, mate. Perry, don't stop. Me and my friends are going bowling, and [music] I was going to ask you if you wanted to come, but I know you don't really know them, so you don't have to.

Speaker A

Yes. What? Are you best friends with these weird little utensils? Stop picking on people for no reason. You came. Yeah, of course I did.

Speaker A

You need to [music] stop this thing with Nick Nelson. What? He's going on a date with this girl.

Speaker A

[music] I heard him agree to it after that rugby match the other week. That can't be true. I kind of overheard you and to in the bathroom earlier. He's my friend. I wanted to say sorry. I really like you.

Speaker A

Do you like me? Wasn't that obvious? Do you like me? Yes, obviously. I'm sorry for being all confused. I thought I was the one who said sorry too much.

Speaker A

Oh, do you want a kiss? Would that help? It's a good suggestion. [music] Sorry. Don't be sorry. When's the concert?

Speaker A

Friday night. Can I come? What? Why? Because you were performing. What? [music] What? You're staring.

Speaker A

No, I wasn't. Yeah, you were. Do your homework. You know, I was, uh, talking to Tara at the rehearsal today.

Speaker A

Yeah. You and Charlie getting along well, then? Uh, [music] yeah. I told her we're together.

Speaker A

What? We're sort of going out. I told her we're going out. Oh my God, that's amazing.

Speaker A

You're amazing. You two are together. Yeah, Charlie, I'm so happy for you. [music] I've been researching about being bisexual.

Speaker A

Uh, I think that might be me. Look, Nick and his best mate. [laughter] Quick question. What's it like being gay? [laughter] Harry was being a complete idiot and some of the others were being really unfriendly.

Speaker A

What about Nick? Are you joking? Nick's not even my type. [laughter] You definitely have a crush on him.

Speaker A

You do. Stop. I should have just left. Nick, I'm honestly used to it by now. I'll see you at school. You just saw the perfect opportunity to make someone feel miserable and humiliated as usual.

Speaker A

[music] I'm sure he can deal with it. He's probably used to it by now.

Speaker A

Aw, you're getting so angry. What happened? I kind of got into a fight with Harry.

Speaker A

'Cause he's a pathetic little [music] bat. I mean, the fight with Harry was my fault.

Speaker A

It wasn't, though. It was. It was my fault. Becoming friends with you, and I've been making your life really difficult. So, I was thinking [music] maybe it would be better if—and now Nick's lost all his friends. He's getting into [music]

Speaker A

fights because of me. Did you want to yell at us together? I can't. Sorry.

Speaker A

And I just [music] feel like maybe I do just ruin people's lives. Would it be better if I didn't exist?

Speaker A

I know people have hurt you and you feel like you'd be better off without you. But [music] I need you to know that my life is way better because I [music] met you.

Speaker A

I don't care about getting into fights or pissing off my mates or anything like that. It's all worth it to be with you.

Speaker A

I mean, you are the kindest, [music] most thoughtful and caring and an amazing person in the whole world.

Speaker A

You're my favorite [music] person. I need you to believe me, Nick. I believe you.

Speaker A

I was thinking, what if I came out? Do you really [music] want to? I really want to, and I don't want to have to sneak around pretending we're platonic BFFs. [music] I like Charlie in a romantic way, not

Speaker A

just a

Speaker A

Want a well done kiss? [music] Yeah. I have a boyfriend. Yes, we're all fully aware and he's amazing and [music] he wants to come out.

Speaker A

I want to rejoin the rugby team. You know, you don't have to do this if you don't want to.

Speaker A

I want to. Otherwise, we'll barely see each other this [music] time. I got you a present.

Speaker A

What? Why? Because we've been going out for 2 months. As in it's our 2 month anniversary.

Speaker A

And how did you know [music] this is my favorite chocolate bar? And you mentioned it ages ago. So, thank you.

Speaker A

It's It's kind of hard to Is it about you and Charlie? It's just it is kind of obvious [music] and like it totally makes sense like the whole date thing.

Speaker A

I I [music] want to tell people like imagine that. I just it's hard to find the right time.

Speaker A

You didn't like me because you're gay. Well, I I'm bisexual actually. I'm sorry. I don't actually know how to react.

Speaker A

God, you [music] hate me so much. It's not my fault he liked me before you.

Speaker A

I hate you because you literally assaulted him. You snuck out again. You'll be in so much trouble with your mom.

Speaker A

I'm here to tear you up after your terrible [music] exam. Do you want something to eat?

Speaker A

No, I'll have something when I get home. I'd love a cup of tea, though.

Speaker A

You're such an old man. Hey, I just wanted to meet [music] the guy that, you know, turned my little brother gay.

Speaker A

Charlie, who is Charlie back? Can you give that girlfriend? Stop it. Give me that back.

Speaker A

She sent me. [music] I mean, I should have always known you don't have to be gay. Really?

Speaker A

I'm by actually. [music] And so what? I'm by actually. So, but look, if you're going to be gay at least admit you're gay. [music] See, this is exactly why I didn't want to tell you.

Speaker A

Too late now. Oh, this is ridiculous. I'm not. Charlie, [music] this is not your fault.

Speaker A

I don't care what David thinks anyway. I mean, it was never going to go perfectly with everyone.

Speaker A

I do know you're not like, Harry. I seriously don't blame you for fighting him. I know you and Charlie are really good mates. still couldn't come out to any of them. Like, it's fine. There's no deadline.

Speaker A

I know, but it's just annoying when people think we're like best bros. What about your history coursework? I haven't helped you with that at all.

Speaker A

It's fine. [music] It's done. You are amazing. I'm free. I'm not grounded anymore. Look after him or you die, Tori.

Speaker A

Okay. Are you sure you want to come out to the Rugby Boys tonight? If you're not feeling well, fine.

Speaker A

I can do this. Nick doesn't want to talk to you. Harry, piss off. [laughter] You told Harry to piss off.

Speaker A

I enjoyed that. Nick's so lucky to have you, Charlie. For anyone who's mean to you, it could be fun being a secret again.

Speaker A

Yeah. We were to the beach. I told you I was going to come out, but I've just been finding it so hard. Maybe we should forget the coming out plan for a while.

Speaker A

Obviously, I want you to come out when and how you want to. And if that takes a long time, that's completely okay. I guess part of me just wants everyone to know you're my boyfriend. I suppose I'm sort of jealous

Speaker A

of you and Darcy. you're out and you can hold hands and kiss and I wanted to share a bed with you.

Speaker A

So, I really want that. I'm sure we'll get to do it one day. I can't wait. But I don't want Nick to get bullied like I was. It's not bad.

Speaker A

Now you have to sleep in my bed. Charlie, you two coming up. You're being gay.

Speaker A

Good job. Did I do that? Do you think anyone will notice? Yeah, I I think everyone will notice.

Speaker A

I'm so sorry. I I didn't mean to. I I don't even know how to do that to fine.

Speaker A

I really enjoyed it. Oh my god. Come on. Oh my god. Hey Nick, is that hickey from you then?

Speaker A

What if it was? You jealous? You speak French. My dad's French and basically only speaks to me in French. So maybe we shouldn't be hanging out right now. More people might think it was you who You do know it it was me, right?

Speaker A

Yeah, I think I remember you being there. Yeah. Yeah. Good. Wait, do you like the fact that I speak French?

Speaker A

It's fine. Oh my god, you're so cringe. You actually don't look like you're cringing. You look like you're blushing.

Speaker A

Oh, it's wonderful to meet one of Nick's friends. Yeah, you me, too. I really thought I could talk to him about you.

Speaker A

It's okay. There'll be other chances. If you even think about giving me another hickey.

Speaker A

I wasn't thinking about you. So, are excuse me, what are you doing? recharging. Who gave you the hickey?

Speaker A

Me. We're dating. I thought to guess Nick was gay. Yeah. Oh, I'm by actually.

Speaker A

I'm sorry for everything. I really hope you become a better person so you don't hurt anyone else, but I don't want to be there to see that happen.

Speaker A

So, we're going to go to prom and we're going to be the cutest couple there and everyone will see. That doesn't look bad. You look so good. You look so good. Shut up.

Speaker A

This is the best my life has ever been. I don't have to hide my amazing boyfriend anymore. I'm not getting bullied. Everything's perfect.

Speaker A

I need to go home soon. No, my mom will get annoyed if I'm late.

Speaker A

[snorts] I know I've [music] been stressed about coming out, but only thing I realized how stressed out you've been about it.

Speaker A

Charlie didn't eat very much. Do you want to stop and get something to eat and walk [music] to the shop?

Speaker A

I'll eat later. I had a really late breakfast, so you can though. You never told me about the bullying. What that was like?

Speaker A

We didn't need to talk about that. Everything's fine now. Is everything fine? I'm still full from breakfast. You didn't eat that much breakfast. Yeah, I did.

Speaker A

Like, I know you like everything to be fine and happy and perfect all the time, but you don't have to be perfect with me.

Speaker A

Not hungry. Not really. We said we tell each other things after you told me about your eating thing.

Speaker A

I don't I don't feel very well. I've noticed you uh don't really eat a lot. Um generally I think it surprised me how homophobic people were. I thought things were better nowadays.

Speaker A

People would just call me disgusting to my face. And it went on for so long that I think I started to believe what they were saying.

Speaker A

I know I don't eat like normal people. Some days I'm fine, but other days I feel like I need to control it.

Speaker A

I used to do it a lot last year and everything at school was really bad.

Speaker A

made me really hate myself so much that I I used to cut myself sometimes.

Speaker A

I I don't want to feel like that anymore. I still want to know if you're feeling like that. If you're having a bad day, or if there's anything that I can do to [music] make things less stressful, cheering you up. But I just don't want

Speaker A

to annoy you or burden you. I don't want you to think I'm some fragile, broken mess, that you need to fix me. You're not, and I wouldn't. I'm your boyfriend, Jolly. I really care about you. But I've done so many things

Speaker A

that were scary in the past [music] few months because you were there holding my hand, and I want to be that for you, too.

Speaker A

John, please promise me. Okay. I'll see you tomorrow. Bye. I love your hair so much.

Speaker A

I love your eyes. I love [music] Nick. I have something to tell you. I I I love you. [music] I'm in love with you and I just wanted you to know and you'd have to say it back yet. [music]

Speaker A

I'm properly in love with you and [snorts] I want you to feel the same way too eventually. Charlie, can you back please? Yeah, [laughter] sure. What? I never seen you in a vest before.

Speaker A

Well, I've never seen you in a cap. I don't want him to have to say the awkward I love you too cuz he feels obligated to.

Speaker A

You don't think he feels [music] the same? He's literally obsessed with you. I need to talk to you about something.

Speaker A

Yeah. Yeah, I do too. You go first. All right. No, you I can't say it first now you said that.

Speaker A

Can't believe you're leaving me for three whole weeks. You'll be a minor and I'll be stuck here.

Speaker A

Okay. Well, um, going to be the longest you spent apart since you first met. Oh, are you going to miss me? M, maybe a little bit. A little bit.

Speaker A

You know, I'm going to miss you a lot. [music] I think you have an eating disorder.

Speaker A

I've been doing some research and um I I know that I've got some issues.

Speaker A

I I don't think they're that bad. You sure? Yeah, I'm fine. You don't need to worry about me.

Speaker A

Are you angry at me? No. Nick? Yeah. Is that what you wanted to talk about as well?

Speaker A

Yeah. You know when we were in the sea? [music] Yeah. I lied. When you asked me whether the eating thing was what I wanted to talk to you [music] about, that wasn't what I was actually going to talk to you about.

Speaker A

I was actually going to say that I love you. [music] So, yeah. [music] Anyway, I I can walk myself home. Bye, Charlie.

Speaker A

Johnny. Hi. All right. Can you say what you said again, please? It's embarrassing. I love you. [music] And you don't have to say it back. I just wanted to tell you cuz you're going away and I won't see [music] you for a

Speaker A

few weeks. And I love you, too. I love you so much. You're not just saying that cuz I said it. Are you Charlie?

Speaker A

Can you hear [music] me? Okay. I can hear you. Come here, you idiot. I've [music] missed you so much.

Speaker A

I missed you, too. I I know we haven't really talked about it much. And it's okay if you don't want to talk about it right now. I just Are you okay?

Speaker A

Do you ever treat people with eating disorders? sometimes. Why? I think you were right. I think I do have an eating disorder.

Speaker A

I won't know what to do now. I can't force him to eat cuz then it will just make him more upset. I really love him and I'm scared.

Speaker A

Oh, come here. And I I know that you think it's your job to save him. And I know that it feels like you are each other's whole world, but that dependency isn't healthy for anyone. Charlie needs someone who isn't

Speaker A

his 16-year-old boyfriend. Your birthday on Saturday? Yeah. Can you do something? Uh, [clears throat] I don't know. I I don't normally have a party or anything.

Speaker A

He needs [music] help from a doctor or a therapist, someone that understands eating [music] disorders and knows how to treat them.

Speaker A

What are we doing for my birthday? Love can't cure a mental illness. So, I just can't do anything.

Speaker A

No, I didn't say that. How then? I've planned everything and it is going to be perfect.

Speaker A

Well, there's there's lots of things that you can do. You [music] can be there for him just to talk or listen.

Speaker A

Happy birthday. Thank you. You saying you like my smell? So, I kind of like your smell. Thank you gift [music] for the best birthday ever.

Speaker A

That was very You reminded me of you. Standing together even when [music] it's hard.

Speaker A

I love you. I love you, too. I love you. How's love, darling? I'm just still really worried about you.

Speaker A

I know I know you don't want me to try to fix you, but I love you so much, and I couldn't help but try. I realize now that I just can't. I really want you to talk to someone, your parents, or a

Speaker A

doctor or something like that. His eating disorder got worse. Can you just stop trying?

Speaker A

He started skipping school a lot. I hate feeling like this. I read up about it online as well and said you had to make them feel cared for and not judge [music] them.

Speaker A

That said it had to be my decision. Do you think it would help? Not really, but I'd get to skip school for a bit.

Speaker A

So, don't cry. If you cry, I'll cry. Not sure I can help it. I knew he wasn't magically better or anything like that.

Speaker A

I know it doesn't work like that. Maybe it's just me hoping for the best. But honestly, I think it helped. I really do.

Speaker A

Hi, Charlie. Can you kiss me, please? I love you. [music] Hey hey hey. Can you turn [music] around while I change?

Speaker A

Oh, you look adorable. I look ridiculous. Ridiculously adorable. You feel you and Nick have progressed [music] in your relationship.

Speaker A

I mean, you see me at my absolute rock bottom and hasn't run away screaming.

Speaker A

But I expect your progress has allowed you to deepen your connection with him. If your intrusive is also lessened, you've got more energy to give to your [music] relationship.

Speaker A

Happy birthday. Happy birthday. I've been thinking about something. [music] What's that? Do I also get a birthday kiss?

Speaker A

Yeah. Have sex. Oh my god, I'm so embarrassing. No, I'm I'm glad you brought it up. I love him and he loves me.

Speaker A

I just don't understand why I get so anxious about it. Part of intimacy is trusting someone enough to let go of some [music] control. And that's scary.

Speaker A

Hi. Hi. You don't think I'm fragile, do you? No. No. Charlie, [music] you're like the strongest person I've ever met. You know exactly who you are and and what you want. I I think I'm more fragile [music] than you are. I can't talk to anyone

Speaker A

else like I talk to you. When I realized I was by I feel like I woke up because I was repressing [music] so much of myself before then. You not just my sexuality but my thoughts [music] and feelings, my

Speaker A

personality. I still hide behind that mask sometimes. You're allowed to be a mess sometimes.

Speaker A

I'm a mess now, am [music] I? I think we're both a bit of a mess.

Speaker A

You look so good right now. You're trying to peek. No, it's allowed. We're in love. Take mine off.

Speaker A

I'm not I'm not trying to peek. You sure? Yeah. I love you. And you are so hot.

Speaker A

[music] Dude, as your head boy, bring back. No, but it's too late to back out now.

Speaker A

The speech is great. And the rugby lad said overview you even if you're Just think everyone's going to laugh at me. You're smart. You're tough. You've been through way worse than a speech.

Speaker A

I think I'm probably going to put leads as my top choice for uni. Are you scared to tell me that? Well, yeah. It's like far away. 5hour drive or something.

Speaker A

Yeah, I'll just learn to drive or get the train. You know, I don't actually like rugby, don't you? It's not one of your passions or anything. Nick, I joined the rugby team cuz I had an insane crush on you. We look like

Speaker A

babies. We were. I used to be scared of anyone finding out I was gay because [music] I thought the other boys would bully me for it. And they did. And most of all, they made me feel like I was the

Speaker A

problem, but I wasn't. The problem was the culture of bullying that exists in this school. Guys often struggle with their mental health because we keep our feelings to ourselves. We have to brush everything off as banter and pretend

Speaker A

that we feel okay when we don't. We could go for a drive, sit by the river. You're going to miss me.

Speaker A

a little bit. We could just talk. No. Not only am I the captain of the rugby team, but I am also incredibly handsome and have a very nice boy.

Speaker A

I want to make it easier and safer to exist in this school, no matter who you are. Okay. But you have to let me talk about how lovely and kind and brave and smart you are. It's just about

Speaker A

communicating and and and saying what's in there. That's that's all that matters. And then you you'll be able to connect deeper.

Speaker A

Okay. Nick. Hey. Hey. What's up? What's going on? No. If you love each other, it's easy.

Speaker A

You know, me and Charlie, we love each other. You and Charlie are perfect. All right.

Speaker A

I had a dream we died. What? You all right? Charlie was just giving me some drumming tips.

Speaker A

Really? Cuz looks like you were just flying with my boyfriend. Well, we were just having a conversation, so Okay. Well, conversation's over. So stupid. It's felt really real. [snorts] Nick, are you okay?

Speaker A

He was flirting with you. Sorry. Yeah, I know he was. I can handle myself.

Speaker A

What happened? I don't know. I just I got really drunk. I think everyone hates me. Let's get you home.

Speaker A

Are you angry at me? No, I'm not. Come on. Sure. I'm not angry. Let's talk about it tomorrow. Yeah.

Speaker A

[sighs and gasps] I love knowing that we have tomorrow. I've never seen you like that.

Speaker A

It's funny at first, but then it wasn't. It's not nice. Okay. You don't want to be in here.

Speaker A

Yes, I do. I don't care. Let me help you. I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP.

Speaker A

I'm worried about you. I'm all good. Uh, we had an argument which was my fault.

Speaker A

Are you not feeling good or I don't know. Is that why you keep forgetting your lunch at school? [music] No, I haven't really been yourself lately.

Speaker A

I don't know. I thought I was a good boyfriend. Turns out I can't even do that. Trey, you can talk to me. You know, why can't you talk to me about what?

Speaker A

Whatever it is that's making you feel so anxious. I I want to support you.

Speaker A

Okay. You You don't use your therapy speak on me here. It's fine. I'm going home. No, wait. I When you actually want to talk to me, I'll be there. Okay. Hi.

Speaker A

Hi. The idea was a get well soon gift, but we could just sit in there all day while you're feeling rough. You said that I'm the only one you can talk to.

Speaker A

You felt lost. You know, a couple weeks back when I had that [clears throat] dream about you dying. It wasn't just you dying. It was how you died. It was my fault.

Speaker A

Did you murder me in cold blood? No. I I missed the signs. It all happened again. Stuff from last year.

Speaker A

But you didn't [music] get help and you didn't get better. And when you were gone, everything went blurry. You know, it's just me on my own in the house.

Speaker A

There was nothing. I was nothing. If I can't protect you, who even am I? If you don't need me anymore, I do need you. I need you because [music] you're you. I love you. Do you need me? Yeah.

Speaker A

Yeah. So much. There [music] you go. You did it. I'm so proud of you.

Speaker A

Wait. And I need more to our anniversary. Boys, what are we seriously avoiding talking about the obvious?

Speaker A

Most teen relationships don't last. When you're in leads, I don't want you to spend your time worrying about me.

Speaker A

You don't need to think about that right now. I want you to be okay without me.

Speaker A

You're okay? Uh, yeah. Everyone thinks teenage relationships don't last. Are you angry at me about something?

Speaker A

What? No. I guess they usually don't. Guess I'm an optimist then. I know you've been struggling this year. You've been really anxious about a lot of things about yourself.

Speaker A

Yeah, sorry. I know that's probably annoying for you. It's not annoying. It's just upsetting.

Speaker A

I try and talk to you about it. You just shut down. And I thought we were good at that. And I think that the reason you do that [music] is is because of me. Maybe it is a good idea for us to have some

Speaker A

space. You know, maybe you'd have to worry about me so much then then you'd be happier. I want you to be happy.

Speaker A

So, we should break up, man. If that's what you want. No, no, no. I'm asking if that's what you want.

Speaker A

I want you to be happy. I'm only happy when I'm with you. I don't think that's how it should be.

Speaker A

I don't want to break up. I think you'd be better off without me, too.

Speaker A

I didn't say that, Nick. I Have you seen yourselves? You've guided each other through all of this emotional growth and pain together. You can communicate just by looking at each other. Trust me, I can see it. Everyone thinks teenage relationships don't last.

Speaker A

I never really thought that about us. Charlie loves you. The real you. Ever since we met, I could feel it.

Speaker A

We're different. It's too late. No, it's not. Love isn't destiny or fate or some kind of cosmic force. Love is a choice.

Speaker A

I just know I love you. We look after each other. Don't we? It's a choice every day and you can you can lean towards it or away from it. And you have always lent towards [music] it.

Speaker A

That is just who you are. Last time we were in here, we were babies.

Speaker A

Yeah. I didn't know anything except I wanted to kiss you so bad I thought I was going to die. I still feel like that quite a lot, actually.

Speaker A

Do you? Yeah. Yeah. You better kiss me so I don't die. I wouldn't want that to happen.

Speaker A

I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you so much. I love you more than anyone. Actually, I'm weird. I'm only 18.

Speaker A

I'm weird, too. Could never imagine any of that till I met you. I know.

Speaker A

Now I can see it.
