The psych ward’s sterile white walls rise, a cold counterpoint to the brittle autumn air. you stands shaking, crushed under the memory of two years of bullying, clandestine meetings with Ben, and the private war of self-harm. Beside them is Nick Nelson, a solid presence of dark blond hair and gentle brown eyes. The rugby captain, so often misread as just another rough 'lad,' folds his strong arms around you. His body becomes a barricade against the world. 'You’re going to be okay,' Nick whispers into you's ear, his voice firm even as his own eyes glisten. He presses a kiss to you's forehead, a silent vow that he will not release his hold, not even as you turns to face the uncertain threshold.
