dangerous (berleezy)

𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐚 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠.. waking up in an unfamiliar bed is strange at first until you realize where you are. that's i how felt this morning when i opened my eyes, i was confused then i recognized my surroundings.

i look over to my right and see Berlin still asleep, i try to quietly get up but apparently i wasn't being quiet enough because his eyes slowly opened.

he looks at me and smiles "i guess we fell asleep" he laughs.

"yeah i guess so" i laugh.

"yo B mom wants you in the kitchen, she said she needs to talk to you" Britani says before her jaw drops when she sees me.

"that's probably why-" she says.

he groans "it's too early for this"

"did i get you in trouble? i'm so sorr-" i start but get interrupted.

"nah you're good it's okay, it was worth it" he smiles before getting up and going to the kitchen.

Britani looks at me with a smirk "so did y'all just sleep?" she winks.

"ew Britani" i laugh. "yes we just slept"

"he's gonna get his ass chewed out but i'll cover for y'all the best i can" she smiles before walking off.

i feel so bad that i'm the reason he's getting trouble. do i go in there? do i just leave? i've never been in this situation before..

"Nova, come here baby" Regina shouts.

i guess there's my answer.

"yes?" i say nervously walking in the kitchen.

"usually i'd be upset about you sleeping over without permission but Berlin told me the situation going on at home and i understand why you would want to get away. i'm going to ignore it this time because you guys did leave the door open and what not but next time please ask me"

i nod "understood. thank you and i'm sorry"

Britani stands there in shock at her mothers response "you got a soft spot for her or something because if i did that i'd be shredded into pieces-"

Regina just laughs and continues on with what she was doing.

Berlin kindly walked me over to my house to give me some last minute advice about everything, which i really appreciated.

i put the lock code in and walk inside, going straight to my room. well that was the plan anyway but my dad had a different one.

"did you stay the night over there?" my father asks with an angry expression.

"yeah.."

"where'd you sleep?" he questions.

"on the couch" i lie because if i said the truth, it wouldn't end well.

"really? on the couch? and i'm supposed to fucking believe that?" he scoffs.

"you need to calm down. why would she lie about where she slept? besides why does it even matter? give her a break" my mom comes into the convo.

"oh so now you're her protector?" he starts before going off completely.

i really just didn't wanna hear it so i snuck off to my room and put music on to distract myself from reality.

laying in my bed, staring at the ceiling contemplating whether this is real life or just a dream.

why can't i be 18 already so i can run away from everything..

i go on my phone and text my best friend from back home, god i miss her. it's so strange not having her with me 24/7.

i update her on everything that happened since the last time we spoke was after the pool night with Berlin's family.

while texting, i hear a knock on my door before it opens. it's my mom.

she walks in and sits beside me on my bed "hey honey, i'm sorry about everything"

"don't apologize it's not your fault" i look at her.

"it is in a sense, i'm the one who filed for divorce because i couldn't mentally handle your father anymore. if i didn't do that then you wouldn't be feeling this way right now"

i sigh "it's fine mom. i'd rather see you happy then stuck in a marriage with somebody who drains you, even if it is my father"

she smiles "i love how understanding you are, how'd i get so lucky"

i laugh "how did i get so lucky? you're like the coolest mom ever"

"don't make me cry now, you know i love you. you and your brother are my whole world and there is nothing i wouldn't do for you both"

"also between us i didn't sleep on the couch over there-" i whisper to her.

"oh honey i know, Regina texted me. you've always been truthful with me so you know i had to defend you down there with your dad"

"thank you for that by the way, it's super appreciated" i smile.

"of course, now tell me.. what's up with you and Berlin?" she smirks.

"literally nothing, we were watching tv and ended up falling asleep" i shake my head.

"i don't know girl.. you guys seem into each other with the way you look at one another, and the way you guys can't stop smiling, you guys are damn near inseparable"

"nah you have it all wrong, we're just really good friends" i nod.

"darling, friends don't look at friends that way. take my word for it"

A/N:
i love the bond Nova and her mom have, maybe i'm projecting but damn.. i wish.
