"Nova listen to me I'm your mother!" Mom had dragged out the word mother. "I'm going to London mom, it's not only for my career, but to think about moving there. Permanently." Nova said. "What career! You don't have one!" Mom yelled, nova let her do this once, she wouldn't let her control her again.

"Mom this is my dream! I'd be an idiot to not follow it!" Nova yelled. "Wake up Nova! You weren't made for social media. You were made to be educated, instead your a nervous reck when you speak, you barley leave your room, and you dropped out of fucking college!" Mom had yelled. "You made me like this." Nova yelled, got tears streaming down her cheeks, her mom started closer when the front door opened.

"What the fuck mom!"

Clay.

His hand quickly got nova behind him. "She's not going to London, not without us!" Mom yelled. "She's a fucking adult!" Clay defended. "She doesn't act like one, what adult do you know that still picked at her nails when she talks, or sits at a fucking computer all day working herself to the bone. You've seen how skinny she's been lately." Mom scoffed.

"What the fuck!" Clay screamed. "Your the one who made me like this, I wasn't always fucked up you Bitch!" Nova defended herself. "You have medicine! Clay can calm himself down, why can't you?" Mom asked.

"Because I'm not him!"

"She's not me!"

"Anixtey never leaves you! Neither does ADHD! All this does is make my anxiety worse, and Clay battles his ADHD like a fucking boss. But we could focus on are fucking mental health if you weren't like this." Nova screamed, her mom was speechless, for once. But it wasn't because of what nova said, but the quite voice behind all of them.

"Clay we have a small problem."

Danielle.

He turned around, and him and nova followed her upstairs. Danielle had been playing Minecraft all day on his computer, but Tommy joined the VC and was live, making the whole argument pick up over the microphone.

The two had told the world for years that their parents were supportive of everything. So the two were royally fucked. "I left as fast as I could but they heard nova-." Clay cut Dani off. "Non of this is your fault ok?" He looked at his sister seriously, she nodded. Nova noticed her biting her tongue trying not to cry. Something all three of them did.

Nova was beyond pissed. Not only had her own mother caused chaos with clays livelihood, and fucked up her own mental health. But had scared Danielle. Nova grabbed her phone and called the one person she could always talk to, the person who had been their for her when this first happened. Who knew her as nova, not paralysis.

"Techno." She said, catching Clays attention.

Techno was very confused, he was just napping when his phone started ringing. He had picked it up and novas voice was shaky. "Techno." She said, he heard drista in the background but clays voice followed. "Have you been on Twitter?" She asked. "No iv been asleep, what's up?" He asked, genuinely concerned for the girl. "Theirs probably going to be a clip of me and Clay screaming, followed by our mother screaming, from Tommy's stream. What the fuck do we do?" She asked.

Nova wouldn't ever bother anybody with this shit, she would always turn to Clay, but Clay had no fucking idea.

"Nova if I'm being honest, get the fuck out of the house, then make a tweet tomorrow after your heads been cleared." He said, he wasn't the type of guy people go to for advice, unless it was Wilbur, so he was almost proud she had trusted him so much. "I have everything packed for London, I mean we leave in three days." Nova sighed. "Honestly I don't care if you get on a flight to California right now, I'm basically moved into my apartment. I just don't feel safe with you there." He said.

His normal monotone had more emotion then he's really ever dealt with. He had a feeling he knew why, but that didn't mean that feeling was true.

"Dani go pack." Clays voice was heard. "Clay we are not-." Nova tried to argue. "Nova you are and so is Dani, if he wants I'll stay here but your not fucking staying here." He said sternly. "Techno-." She was cut off. "I'll be at the airport in two hours, I promise you'll be ok." He said. She weakly nodded. "We're gonna be ok." He heard Clay say. He texted Clay what city he was in, and all the details. He wasn't going to let nova off the phone until she had to.

He cared for the girl, more then he cared for anybody really. He looked around the the boxes off stuff that needed to get built but ultimately decided to blow up and air mattress, get out a few pillows, blankets, and lay them over the mattress and couch.

He listened to clays muffled voice as the sound of a car started played.

"Techno we're going to the airport ok?" She asked to hang up. "Text me when you land." He told her. "I will." She said. It was quite before he said the words, "I'm proud of you." It was quite but she heard it. "For what?" She asked. "I'll tell you when you get here alright?" He asked. "Alright." She smiled, it was weak, she wasn't even sure if it was real, but he made her feel better for a second. As the end call sound played techno looked at her display name.

"I'm so fucking proud of her." He whispered, turned off his phone and slipped on a jacket.
