Nova would crack her knuckles, bite her tongue, bounce her leg. Clay scrolled for Twitter addressing every hate tweet, liking supportive people. Dani was emailing her school letting them know she would be switching to online from now on.

Nova hated flights, always have. But the anxiety of tonight, plus the flight was making her want to scream, she just wanted to cry, she wanted to scream exactly why she was so fucked up. She eventually said fuck it, and grabbed her anxiety meds from her back pack.

"Nova have many have you had of those?" Clay turned and asked. "Not enough." She muttered,taking two out and popping them in her mouth, downing them with her monster. "Clay don't even right now I just want to be numb." She whispered to him, he looked at her before biting his lip and nodding, looking back at his phone.

"Clay they need parental proof and your in my emergency contacts will you email them." Dani asked. "When we land yeah." He nodded, she nodded, put in her air pods and started listening to music. Nova started to feel the effects her meds set in, and started setting in more and more. She dazed off and didn't remember anything until the plane landed.

"All passengers may stand and exit the aircraft, welcome to San Francisco airport where the time currently 4:46 pm." The flight attendant said, Clay and nova got up quickly, and were followed by Dani. Nova texted techno that they were getting off the plane and if he was there.

Technos leg bounded up and down as he waited for a text from the girl. When his phone dinged he auolcy opened his messages and was happy to see a reply from the girl. He quickly typed back.

"Found him." Clay said, nodding in the direction of a decently tall male, dirty brown hair, tired eyes brown eyes, and gold rimmed glasses. He looked up from his phone and looked into nova familiar bright green eyes. Her very tense figure slightly relaxed as the trio made their way over to him.

"Hey are you alright?" He asked, brining the girl into a hug. He couldn't have told you why, but it just felt right despite it being so out character for him. "Honestly I took so many anxiety meds I don't fucking know." She tried to use dark humor to trick herself, although she acted like it worked, Clay and techno saw right through it.

"Come on, iv set up the living room and I'm not fully moved in yet so-." Techno tried to ramble. "I promise it will be fine." Clay assured him. "Thanks for this, we really owe you." Nova added. "Trust me you don't." Techno assured the group.

Techno seemed most comfortable around Nova, the two had already known each other and in a stressful situation like this a familiar face was nice. He did find himself more able to grasp the situation when he took a small glance over towards the girl. She was playing with her fingers, biting her lip, biting her tongue. Nobody really knew what to say.

"Clay look at this." Dani handed her phone over to Clay getting nova and technos attention. Clays already stressed figure tense more and more. Clay brought the phone to his ear and was clearly pissed at whoever he was talking to, this only made novas anxiety rise more. As she started picking at her fingered she felt a hand grab hers.

"Don't do that to yourself." He told her, her head turned to nod at him. He ran his thumb subconsciously over the small nicks on her figure tips, and scar over her palm. "Later?" She sighed and looked at him. "Take your time with this ok?" He said, although he distracted her from the problem Clay and Dani were having, he might have accidentally brought up a larger problem.

Novas scuffed up hand let technos hold it with a soft grip. It was a way of comfort for the both of them. As the four of them slid into technos car, Dani passed out immediately, allowing the three adults to talk.

"How do you all want to stream and do everything?" Techno asked. "Iv been looking at places and since are uploads are so far apart, I think we will be alright until we get our own place." Clay said. "And how long will that take?" Nova asked him. "A week, if we're not to picky." Clay said. "You three can stay for as long as you need, you know that right?" Techno asked.

"I know but we don't want to bother you." Nova told him. "Yeah I mean, you still have content to make." Clay added. Techno knew, even tho the two acted like they had a large ego on camera, the two were extremely humble and selfless people. If it wasn't for technos worry about novas safety, and Clay completely agreeing, they wouldn't be in California.

"I don't upload." Techno scoffed, a light smile appeared on clays face for a second before it faded, and novas body claimed for a second.

As techno drove back to his apartment, he took a few glances at the girl next to him. Her mop of wavy blonde hair covered her eyes, which was a shame. It was one of technos favorite parts of the girl, and his favorite part of her appearance. She picked at the already chipped nail polish on her nails instead of her figures, technos eyes soft ended at the girls attempt to not hurt herself.

Clay shook Dani up when techno parked in the garage, "I'll set us up a bed when we get inside ok bub?" Nova looked behind her, Techno noticed how Novas normally harsh tone was much more gentle and caring with her sister. She nodded and whipped the sleep out of her eyes. "I blew up this air mattress and already made a bed for whoever on the couch." Techno said. "You didn't have to." Clay said, taking out their bags from the trunk. Techno shrugged it off casually, even tho it was a really sweet gesture.

The inside of the apartment was filled with boxes, with only a few things unpacked. But pressed up against one of the floor length windows over looking the coast was a couch with pillows and a blanket, and a air mattress with a mountain of blankets and pillows. All of it topped with a small white dog laying on the rug in the living room.

"Come here floof." Techno called, the dog quickly perked up, spiking danielles interest. As the dog trotted over it didn't come to techno it went to Dani and flopped down right at her feet. Causing techno to laugh. Nova and Clay came in behind the two with the bags only to see techno and Dani abusing the fucking dog.

"Did you Murder the fucking dog Dani?" Nova asked. "Techno did it." Dani blamed, picking up the dog and walking over to the couch. "Ah yes, not only do I kill people, but dogs as well." Techno laughed. "We don't discriminate here." Nova smirked, setting the suitcases down by the couch and out of the way.

"I'll let you all sleep." Techno said. "I think Dani is ahead of us." Clays voice was heard, leaning over the back of the couch petting floofs sleeping head, the dog was cuddled into a sleeping Dani. "Flick her." Nova said. "Nova what the fuck." Clay muttered as he did it.

Techno laughed quietly at the trio before heading into his room, but not without one last glance at Nova.
