Where Rainbows Begin

Summary:

Two best friends... right? Join Nick and Charlie as they navigate life together, missing each other on many occasions. Will there be a happy ending?

New Chapter Daily.

Notes:

My favourite book is called Where Rainbow's end and it's made up of letters, notes, emails, IM's and more! So I've taken it and adapted it to our two favourite boys (with an army of supporters and others.)

I know I have other work in progress and I haven't abandoned it, but this has just plagued my brain.

I know there's some spelling errors - it's intentional! The boys start young and grow up - it doesn't tell you their ages here but it does span over a few years.

Hi Nick

🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂

Hi Nick

My birthday party is on Saturday not Sunday. Don't come on the wrong day! (But you can come all the time anyway.)

You can’t bring Nellie to the party because mum says so. She says she is a smelly dog.

From Charlie

🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂

Hi Charlie
I do not care wot your stupid mum says nellie wants to come.
Form Nick

🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂

Hi Nick

My mum is not stupid you are. You are not aloud to bring the dog. She will brust the baloons.

From Charlie

Hi Charlie

Hi Nick
Fine.
From Charlie

Dear Mrs. Nelson,

Hope you and the family are well? I popped by to have a word with you about Charlie’s birthday on the 27th April. Sorry you weren’t in, but I’ll try you again later this afternoon and hopefully we can talk then.

There seems to be some sort of little problem with Nick and Charlie lately. I think they’re not talking but I’m sure we can sort it. I’m hoping you’ll have some idea of what the problem is, Charlie won’t tell me. But I know Charlie would really love it if Nick came to his birthday party.

I’m looking forward to meeting the mother of this charming young man!

See you then,
Jane Spring

Hi Charlie

Form Nick your frend

🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂

Hi Charlie
Thanks for the great day at the party. I am sorry nellie brust the baloons and ate all the cake. She was hungry because mum says dad eats all our leftovers. See you at skool tomorrow.
Nick

🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂

Hi Nick

Thank you for my present. I love it! It's ok about what Nellie did. Mum says she needed a new carpet anyway. Dad is a bit mad though. He said the old one was fine but mum thinks the house smells of poo now, and its not from baby Ollie.

Look at Mr Lange’s nose. It is the biggest nose I have ever seen. Ha ha ha.

Charlie

🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂

Hi Charlie
I no and he has a big snot hanging down too. He is the ugliest alien I have ever seen. I think we should tell the police we have an alien as a teacher who has a really smelly breath and ---

Dear Mr & Mrs Nelson,

I would like to arrange a meeting with you to discuss how Nick is progressing at school. Specifically, I would like to talk about the recent change in his behaviour along with the problem of his note writing during class. I would appreciate it if you called the school to arrange a suitable time to meet.

Yours sincerely,

Mr Lange

🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂

Hi Nick

I hate that we don’t sit together anymore in class. I’m stuck beside Horrid Harry who picks his nose and eats it. It is gross. What did your mum and dad say about Mr big nose?

From Charlie.

🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂

Hi Charlie
Mum did not say much because she kept laffing. I dont no why. She tried to hide it but I could see it on her lips and hear it from my bedroom. It is really boring up the front of the class. Smelly Breath Lange keeps on lucking at me. Have to go.
Nick

🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂

Hi Nick

You always spell know wrong. It is KNOW not NO.

Hi Charlie
Sorry mr perfect. I no how to spell it.

Hola from Spain! The weather is really nice. It is hot and sunny. There is a swimming pool with a big slide. Met a friend called James. He is nice. See you in 2 weeks. I broke my arm coming down the slide. I went to the hospital. I would like to work in a hospital like the man that fixed my arm because he wore a white coat and had a chart in his hand and was really nice and he helped me to feel better. I would like to make people feel better and wear a white coat. My friend James signed my cast. You can too when I get home if you like. Love Charlie xxx

Hi Charlie. Hello from Lundin. My hotel is the one in the picture on the front. My room is that one that is 7 up from the ground but you cant see me. I would like to work in a hotel when I grow up because you get free chocolates everyday and people are so nice that they tidy your room for you. The buses here are all red like the toy ones I got last Christmas. Everyone talks with a funny voice but are nice. Have met a friend called Otis. We got swimming together. Bye. Love from Nick

🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂

Hi Nick

Why am I not invited to your birthday party this year? I know all the boys from your rugby group are going. Are you fighting with me?

Charlie

🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂

Dear Jane,

I’m sorry about Nick’s behaviour this week.

I know that Charlie is upset about not going to the party and he doesn’t understand why he hasn’t been invited. To be honest I can’t quite understand it myself; I have tried to talk to Nick but I’m afraid I can’t get inside the mind of a ten-year-old boy!

I think it’s just a case of his not being able to invite him because the other rugby boys want it to be just them. Unfortunately, he seems to be at that age… Please give my love to Charlie. It seems so unfair and when I spoke to him last week after school, I could see how hurt he was. We love having Charlie here and I know his and Nick’s friendship is different. I don’t want to see anything happen to that because of a silly reason.

Perhaps I can take them out some other evening during the week?

Best wishes,
Sarah Nelson

Hi Charlie
The party was not very good. You did not miss anything. The boys are stupid, I don’t even know why I’m friends with them sometimes. Kieran threw his pizza in Harry’s sleeping bag and when Harry woke up he had cheese and tomato stuck in his hair and everything and my mum tried to wash it and it would not go away and then Harrys mum gave out to Kierans mum and my mum went bright red and David said something I didn’t hear and Harrys mum started to cry and then everyone went home.

Anyway, I no will be better to go out with you. Do you want to go to the cinema on Friday and go to McDonalds after? My Mum will bring us.
Love Nick

🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂

Hi Nick

Sorry about your party. Keiran is a weirdo anyway. I will ask my Mum and Dad about the cinema. Look at Mr Lange’s tie, it looks like an old mans. Or it looks like Nellie puked up all over it and the---

🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂

Dear Mr and Mrs Spring,

I was hoping to arrange a meeting with you to discuss Charlie’s recent behaviour during school and his note writing during class. How does Thursday at 3 p.m. sound?

Mr Lange

🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂

Nick,

My mum and dad won’t let me go to the cinema tonight. I hate not sitting beside you. It’s so boring. Imogen’s head is blocking my view of the blackboard. Why does this happen to us all the time?

Charlie

🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂

TO NICK

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!
MAY THERE BE SEX IN YOUR LIFE
AND… LIFE IN YOUR SEX!

LOVE FROM YOUR SECRET ADMIRER

Hi Charlie
You wrote that card didn’t you?
From Nick

🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂

Hi Nick

What card?

From Charlie

🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂

Hi Charlie
Very funny. I no it was you.
From Nick

🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂

Hi Nick

I really don’t know what you’re talking about. Why would I send you a Valentine’s card?

From Charlie

🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂

Hi Charlie
Ha ha! How did you no it was a Valentine’s Card! The only way you could no is if you sent it. You love meeeee, you want to marry meeeee.
From Nick
🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂

Hi Nick

Leave me alone. Just because I’m gay doesn’t mean I’m desperate. I’m listening to Mr Farouk. If he catches us passing notes again we’re dead meat.

From Charlie.

🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂

Hi Charlie

What happened to you? You’ve turned into a proper nerd.

Nick

🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂

Yes Nick and that’s why I’ll go places in life, like going to college and being a big successful business person with loads of money … unlike you........

Love Charlie.
