Clicked the app to see if there’s an update and BAM! What great timing! Haha - poor Nick, I can relate so much, good on Charlie for not starting a fight in public ♥️

ACxo

I just want to give Nick a hug 🥺😭💕 Charlie’s also so mature for not getting mad at Nick, and just being worried instead

Chloe ♡

The way you made the drunk words in a wobbly border is so smart, and it really shows the emotion of his words!

Anne Marie

The angst is angsting today. 😞 I’m very excited to see how this gets resolved. And I’m so glad Charlie heard Nick say “I think everyone hates me.” It’s not true, obviously. But if anyone can convince Nick of the truth, it’s his best friend.

Barb

my anticipation for next ones that'll follow is running so high😮‍💨

Martina Magnusson

Oh Nick honey, nobody can hate you, you're the frikkin most lovable character in the world 😭

Tina

omg nick being a "i think everyone hates me drunk" like me is so real. us bisexuals be the same frfr

Irem7

I am worried for all of them now🥺

olli

as someone who relates a lot to nick i'm glad this topic is brought up so that he can get help with it, and change his mindset. but it also completely breaks my heart </3

Kate ✨

nick :((((( ❤️

Chloe ♡

they look so small in the last panel i just want to give them a hug ☹️🤍

Dippity_Dip

I can’t help it I crave my fav characters being in pain, I’m being so fed in these pages😭😭😭

ellen de Ruiter

Oooh nicky, I dont hate you, I love you ❤️

Nicholas, my heart's aching for you over these pages... <3

Yikes, trouble in paradise for everyone! Hopefully Charlie doesn't have too hard of a time getting drunky pants Nick home.

Jess🍂

Nikki

They really, really don’t, Nick 😔

Beth Yoshida

Poor Nick. I get it though, those feelings are hard when they hit.

gaby

oh they both look so sad this is so bad for me

aniatka

I thought I cannot love Charlie more... Sweet, thoughtful and so mature boy ❤️

Jaelyn Wheaton

Alcohol definitely doesn’t help anyone’s thoughts in these moments, for sure. I like that we’re starting to see a nick be vulnerable. Can’t wait to see what happens!

Jo Mary

Aww Charlie is so sweet hopefully he can get Nick to open up about everything

Kristen

Yes! He needs to go home, take some meds with water, sleep, eat and talk!

Katrina

Oh Nick honey no one could hate you. It is definitely home time. This pub has put everyone through it my god. Nick better drink water or else I will give him a glass of water myself. I have a feeling this will lead into a much needed talk because Charlie knows Nick is seriously not okay.

Xalek

Seeing Tao and Elle again might have knocked some sense into him while he's feeling sorry for himself. Maybe he remembers his own advice.

Nyxi the Nax

Man, I feel Nick so hard in this moment.

Katie H

The way Charlie supports Nick and he can tell that something is wrong 🥹 I hope they talk about it soon

Loveislove

Charlie has now entered the cursed ground and is getting a sense of this no good very bad night. I think his anger has disappated. How shocking to hear Nick say that he feels everyone hates him. That must cut Charlie's heart to the quick - it certainly does mine. Charlie is looking overwhelmed by everything - Tao and Elle's anger, Nick's words, lack of words and the whole weight of Nick literally in top of him. You can sense that Charlie is now overwhelmed - the weight of Nick is too much for him. He does need to get him home...to Sarah.

Theaterboi27

Firstly, no one could ever hate you, Nick. Well...Ben, but that was more jealousy. Tao and Elle have their own stuff going on. You will most certainly hear all about it as soon as you sleep it off. Good idea, Char. Get your guy safely home. Once again, poor Charlie is caught in the crossfires of his friend group. His facial expressions run the gamut from worried and shocked to scared and worried again. Me thinks it is best to steer clear of the ole Green Dragon from now on......

Brandy78

Oh Charlie. I just love you. ❤️Yes, get Nick home. Poor Nick, no one hates you!

Ayaki Morimura

This feels like irl....Charlie trying to keep up real hard....locked in a three way battle.... with his inner turmoil...his worry for Nick...and now he is worried about Tao....I might be over analyzing....but it feels like he is doing this because everyone was there for him and now he wants to be the same for them.

Julieta

Tough night for everyone

Maddy

Both of their faces in the first panel actually causes me physical pain.

Loveislove

That last panel does look like Nick and Charlie together against the world though 🥰

Dean Horn

Sleep it off Nick. ❤️

Eryn Gibbons

Noo Nick no one hates you :( And Charlie... Oh nooo no no :( So beautifully and heartbreakingly written / drawn. So much care goes into these pages.

qwerty

The novella is edging closer and I'm scared

UpstandingGoose

Idk what time it is for them but I feel like this advice still works. Nothing good ever happens after 2am. Go home lol.

Jo S

Charlie’s mind must be whizzing through lots of thoughts trying to work out why Nick is so low ? I’m sure Charlie will be able to get Nick to talk to him now Nick has started with such a devastating statement! 🥺😢Everyone loves you Nick, especially Charlie! Just talk!! ❤️❤️

Sarah Ellis

oooooh niiiiiiicky!!! 🥺😢😭😩

Gracie

Poor Nick :( not everyone hates you! I’m curious on what happened with Tao and Elle tho

Archie Merry

i am not liking how this is going for nick , well bascially everyone

Laura

Portion of chips, two paracetamol and a pint of water for Nick! We’ve all been there when it’s gone to shit on a night out

laurimini

Nick, my baby 😭😭

Wildallie Diaz

Why does he thinks people hate him, I am so confused ?

Crow_pose24

Charlie little worried face in the first panel breaks my heart, as does Nick's belief that everyone hates him.

Loveislove

I'd like to hear what Nick says but he tonight he has heard some harsh words and tones from Sai, Tao, Elle, kind of Tara and Charlie. That's a lot for our resident people pleaser.

Katrin

Everyone is sad or angry or having another emotional rollercoaster going on! I wish them all the best! Hopefully they can talk it through with their loved ones. 🥺

Frances

Is it weird that when I read the lines I hear the voices of Kit, Joe, Will, Yaz etc in my head…?

Ali Michelle

and mix that in with his daddy-issues. Why would a dad leave if not because of hate/dislike/disapproval 😭 (not the true reasons, but still a narrative in Nicks head) i.e “hating” that Nicky cries all the time.

Merel

He's drunk and insecure. Most of the social interactions he's had this night haven't exactly been positive. He gave some well-intentioned but ultimately insensitive advice to Tao and Elle, who got annoyed at him. Tara then told Nick to chill and sit back down, which he maybe took the wrong way. The lads were confused by his behaviour and yelled after him. Those two annoying people were bothering him about his relationship, and now Charlie's upset with him as well. It can feel as if the entire world is against you in moments like that. Especially for Nick, who is used to being the good-natured guy that everybody likes.

flynn tasker

okay we need to get nick asap!

Kiki

I hope they take a car service — Nick cannot drive like this!

Evergreen

This reminds me a lot of the post-GCSEs party in season 2 where lots of things came crashing down for Charlie’s friends, which Charlie did not handle well (emotionally, deep down inside). It will be very interesting to see how he handles it this time after all the work he has done in therapy, but also knowing that he struggled with a meal recently. I hope he’s learning to recognize his signs and take action.

Mara

We are all worried about him😭😭 I hope Tao and Elle end up okay… but sadly I doubt

artxsta

i feel so terrible for nick, being an anxious insecure drunk is all too real. another turning point for sure. i also just wanted to shoutout charlie’s character development and his integrity as a character. i love the complexity and it really showcases in this scene. your balance of charlie being angry at nick for what he did, but also showing genuine concern, but also loving him and holding him up (figuratively and literally!!!!) has been handled so beautifully. charlie showing that he is worried abt nick throughout the entirety of this volume so far (whether that’s thru words or general facial expressions) is so important and has led up to this moment. i hope you have a good next couple days, and am eagerly looking forward to the next page!

Jordan

I hope Sarah is up to help when they get home ❤️‍🩹

Beam Bugge

or that someone else in the friend group can drive (and is sober) 😳 but given that there was no one to drive chortler home in the novella, it's possible that nick is the only one in the group with a license...

Beam Bugge

why did tao just leave?? WHAT HAPPENED???

Brittney

Aww poor Nick, like I understand how challenging it's been for him, especially seeing Charlie go through a lot throughout their relationship so far, like it was a lot for Nick to witness and see. Like it did break him, but now since Charlie is back home and seeking help from a therapist, it's kind of... I don't know what word to use, maybe more easierish for him like sure Charlie still has his mental health days don't we all? But now this is adding that anxious back into Charlie because he's worried about Nick. And plus now Nick has to realise that since he was there for Charlie, its time he properly allows Charlie to be there for him, since we all know deeply Nick doesn't know who he is without Charlie and we already see that during rugby he was so used to Charlie being there with him, but now since Charlie's head boy and left rugby, it's a pull towards Nick. If any of that made any sense. And oh boy Tao and Elle... okay so I never been to university so I don't know too much about it but I know it's hard for Tao but in a way Elle, she just wants to express herself better and if that means going to university outside of the UK it's perfectly fine too

David C Witkin

I see what you mean. People growing into their own doesn't necessarily mean growing apart, but it might mean difficult decisions and growing pains.

Neenie

In case we forgot about the Tao and Elle drama!!! A reminder! Although Elle trying to talk to him is perhaps progress compared to the stare off

Nyssa Rawther 🍉

Poor Nick. I think Charlie can relate to that particular intrusive thought. I know I can 🥺🥺🥺

David C Witkin

Charlie's in a pickle. He's got to get Nick home, which means he has to find a person who is sober enough and fully present enough to focus on driving to get them both home safely. Nick is out, and so are Elle and Tao. So who does that leave? Tara? She's chasing down Darcy. Aled? Can he even drive? The rugby lads have been drinking shots... Can Charlie call Michael and/or Tori? Or Nick's mom? Or Charlie's dad? Worse alternatives might be Charlie's mom or, Heaven forbid, David? The important thing is to get home safely. Then get him some water and aspirin and put him to bed. And once he's in bed safe and sound, listen while he talks....

Gracie

Maybe if he were to call David it would show David how much Charlie cares for him

Lolli98

"We need to get you home..." Finally a good decision in this cursed pub!😄

Lolli98

Alcohol toxic tiredness kicking in... I'm so glad Charlie is finally back to take care of Nick! I know in their time they only spent about an hour apart. But in our time it has been weeks again!😅 I hope Charlie will find someone to assist him. I wish I could come and drive these poor boys home safely!😉

Bloomin’ smol cuppa

Charlie’s little worried face when nick says he thinks everyone hates him. 😭these two

RCM

I'm worried about Nick AND Charlie (and Tao and Elle, and where is our lovable Darcy??). Nick is definitely ready for home. The weight of the night with its emotional highs (dancing to his hot boyfriend's band, and "a shot or two" with friends, yes please!) and lows (what did I say wrong to Tao and Elle, why was Tara mad at me? Did I push into Sai? WTF happened with that New Guy, and god, Charlie is even angry with me...) and alcohol's effects and being out so late...it's too much for our golden retriever. He has his eyes closed in every single panel, like he wants all these flashing memories to just go away (along with the awful ones that popped up without his permission, like his parents arguing). But, you can see how much Charlie is able to externally regulate Nick, quieting him, and as he leans more and more onto Charlie, he is so cocooned in felt safety that he vulnerably shares, "I think everyone hates me." (and I think by everyone, Nick also means himself because I don't think he likes himself so much right now). It reminds me of when he opened up in the dark to Charlie after his nightmare...except he is creating his own "dark" right now as he keeps his eyes closed and relies on Charlie for support and safety. (and I don't blame him one bit because it's CHARLIE, and we all know that Charlie would move mountains to protect and love Nick, even if he was just a little angry). But, Charlie, well, my heart hurts for him because his eyes ARE open and are OPENING even more as this page progresses...he starts out "just" worried about Nick, and then realizes that more shit has been going down with his friends all night than he was aware of. I mean, his face in that first panel breaks me. His heart and mind are SO troubled and under alert as he continues to put ALL the past few months together along with all that just happened with Nick, and I love the way Alice drew Nick's expression almost the opposite. Nick looks kind of numb, shutting down (literally) to recharge, and he seems so less emotional...like now that he is with Charlie, he is "fine" again...some of that is being tipsy, and some of that is reverting back to the only coping mechanism Nick has (Ha Ha, i'm fine). BUT, I'M WORRIED about CHARLIE...that he may feel responsible for Nick feeling that way, that he may feel responsible for not noticing that Tao and Elle were fighting, that he should have, could have done something, if only...if only, what Charlie...you were PLAYING on stage! I see the pain all over his face in that last panel, and it is heartbreaking. Charlie somehow looks so big and so small at the same time. He's saying practical next steps that need to happen to "get Nick home," he's physically holding Nick up, his eyes are watching Tao and Elle leaving...it's all converging on him. We get this drawn perspective of our big rugby lad totally dependent on our fit drummer gay nerd, centrally standing in the middle of a huge crowd, but still looking so, so alone. Added to that, seeing Charlie drawn in that oversized coat of Nick's reminds me that even though HE can (maturely) see that hard things are happening within Nick, Charlie is also still just a teenager and cannot carry the weight of it all himself. It's too much for Nick to open up and process (still), and it's too much for Charlie to "fix." ("sometimes, people need more support than just one person can give"). Go Home, boys...and let's hope Nick remembers a lot of this night when he wakes up...

Jessica Richards

Or it would just give David more ammunition to hold over Nick...(ie, "Do you want me to tell Mom you got drunk?")

Mike Maxwell

I still wish drunk Nick had stumbled up to the guy hitting on Charlie and got sick all over him. That sure would have made this a night to remember and fun morning conversation if Charlie could stop laughing long enough to talk 🤣

June

I'm so worried about Nick and how this will progress😭 but i love that Charlie is taking care of him, i hope he tells Nick that he needs to open up and tell him what is going on or atleast try to find a way to help Nick because this will probably only get worse. And the "i think everyone hates me"?!💔, that broke me.. And tao & elle.. i have a bad feeling about this.

Cole Morin

Ohhh thankfully it’s home time! I want them back in their safe spaces together. Nobody hates you Nick least of all Charlie but boyyyyy it’s time to open up and start talking.

CinD

💥DRAMA💥

Angie Michaelis

Poor Charlie just got thrown in the deep end, but he’s handling it so well. I love how Nick slowly starts slumping further down, leaning—figuratively and actually—on Charlie. However, I think Charlie’s going to need some help getting his giant rugby lad out of here. (Perhaps the rugby lads who helped get him into this state can assist him!) And I think it may be time to call Sarah for a ride! Nobody hates you sweet Nick, you just need to get it all out (feelings, alcohol…) 🫧 Can’t wait to see where this leads. Alice, I hope your arm is still feeling okay.

Alissa Gren

I was thinking the same thing. It’s starting to feel more and more N&C in here

Elfi

Yes! When we first entered the pub (almost one month ago) I thought it was going to be a fun night out and that the pub looked so cozy... Now I'm so ready to leave! 😅

Teri Lyn

Wow! So much happening is such a small time.

Gracie Bou

I’m so on Elles side of that argument. If she can’t afford to come back all the time she can’t. I get he’s upset but she can’t put her dreams on hold for him

Lolli98

I think Charlie would rather carry Nick on his back than to call David!😨

David C Witkin

And maybe give David a chance to show Charlie that he can be a good brother to Nick after all ..

Lolli98

Here are my next favourite pages: Charlie calls Sarah to pick them up. She sees Nick's miserable state and they put him into bed. When Nick is asleep, Charlie talks to Sarah about his concerns about Nick and they figure out a plan to help him.👌 Ok? 🙂 Please?🙏

Lolli98

Nope. 😉I imagine them acting out these scenes all the time.

Loveislove

I totally want Sarah involved. I just don't know what that looks like between Nick and Charlie. I like how Nick encouraged Charlie to talk to his parents, came with him but let Charlie do the talking. I'm uncomfortable with the idea of Charlie talking about Nick with Sarah behind his back. I feel like that strips Nick of his agency and turns him into that broken fragile mess. Mind you, if Nick continues to refuse to talk that may become necessary. Maybe Charlie just hints that all has not been well.

Maja

i know it’s unlikely but I can see a scenario in which everyone is busy so David is called to help. unlikely? sure. would I love to see it? hell yeah.

Beam Bugge

it reminds me of that moment in s1 on the park bench where tao had just found out about narlie and suddenly ran away

Allegra2346

I wonder if Charlie is going to call a certain annoying older brother for help? Honestly I really want to see David be a decent human for once.

Blissnfaith

I love in the second panel we can see that even a drunk Nick can’t help blushing when he recharges on Charlie’s shoulder. ☺️💙💛

Jasollie

I think given how Nick started out, he went into the night not expecting to drive home. I think he’s responsible enough to plan ahead in that way (I’m thinking about NYE on the show when Nick mentioned that he was driving when he was getting a drink, with the implication being that he wasn’t going to drink too much.) So I’m guessing the plan would be that Sarah would pick them up or he and Charlie get an uber? I guess it depends on how far away the pub is and what transportation is like. A bus for sure is out, due to Nick’s drunkenness level, if that was the plan. Just thinking now, I wonder why Tori wasn’t at the show? Anyway, maybe Sarah would be fine with going out late(ish?) to pick up her drunk (adult, technically 😅) child…? We have seen her be out late so she may not mind. I’m seeing people mention David and that would be really interesting as a development but seems so unlikely to me…? I guess it could happen if Nick said something about not wanting his mum to see him like this, or Sarah was not available. If they don’t have a plan, I think Charlie would reach out to Tori or his parents before David. Maybe they wouldn’t want Charlie’s parents to see Nick in this state and maybe Tori isn’t available and they’re too far for an uber so Charlie has to get Nick’s phone from him to ask David out of desperation. It probably isn’t even going to be that complicated 😅 (maybe just a time jump to N&C in bed with a trash can next to the bed, Nick passed out and Charlie just wide awake, looking so worried?) but since we have a day without a page I’ll use any excuse to overthink. 😊 Also do we know they drove there? Obviously the band has a van but isn’t it a possibility that they live within walking distance? Maybe?

Pato Ferguson

I just noticed Charlie is way much taller in the last panels. Nick breaks my hearts I've been there... everyday I feel more related with him.

Beam Bugge

iirc tori said in the N&C novella that she didn't have a license and that becky had been driving them to and from harry's party?

Murgy

Yeah, Charlie is very much missing context with being thrown in the deep end of the evening's issues. Seriously he doesn't even know that Tao and Elle had an argument before the show, let alone what it was about and how Nick stuck his foot in his mouth trying to fix it. He at least knows about Tara's worries but can't help with it. The night has been an important one I think, and will prompt many important conversations, but it must also be a bit of a whiplash one for Charlie. From a good performance to sudden possessive Nick, minor argument and clearly hurting friends. I'm sure they don't hate you Nick, but you definitely need to get home and sleep. Then talk with Charlie after some water.

Beth Yoshida

Except Tao was clear that wasn't his issue, it was her likely not coming back at all. He's not trying to hold her back but it's not unexpected for him to expect her to at least visit for Christmas if they're staying together.

Elena

I think, they would call a person, who they feel comfortable with, Tori for example (she should have gotten her driving license already, I think?) or Nicks mum, or Charlies dad or they would call a taxi. But in my opinion they would NEVER call David for help! 😅 They hate him too much for that. 😅

Elena

In the novella Toris friend Becky was taking Charlie home after the fight.

Lolli98

I meant it more in a way like Sarah/Aunt Diane helped Nick to help Charlie. Not talking behind Nick's back in a bad way. To exchange your personal worries about a person you love. Nick's mum must have noticed something, too, the way we know her. Even though we didn't get to see it much yet.

K

I’m hoping for a parallel between season 2 after the bonfire incident and now. Where Nick talks about what’s going on. But Charlie gets him water instead of tea (cause Nick definitely needs some water before his game tmrw) 😂

Elena

I hope Charlie tells Nick, that nobody hates him! 🥺 And I hope that he asks Nick, why he thinks that and that it leads to a deep talk between them!

Elspeth Fougere

Awwww the drunk sads. Everyone has been there havnt they? Have a big cry and let it all out nick.. and then hopefully talk with charlie about touching base more often even when things get busy. They might need to actually spend some more time together as a couple not just drifting on their existing relationship. Everyone needs some clarity and reassurance some of the time. I hope your arm is feeling better Alice! Please make sure you take breaks if you need to, we know how hard you always work! ❤️

Elspeth Fougere

Also, I really really love how youve drawn tao and elles faces as they rush past.. tense moments like that are so often loaded with complex emotions, youve captured it really really well 🥰

Leonie

ALICE DID YOU SEE THAT YOU WERE A QUESTION ON THE CHASE YESTERDAY?????

Jessica Richards

Yeah, but....There's drinking, and then there's being fully drunk, which is what Nick currently is. And David is a bully--specifically Nick's lifelong bully--so he tends to turn everything into an insult/threat anyway.
