"You guys wanna go for a drive?" Matt says breaking the silence. "I'm sitting by Matt" Leila raises her hand. "I'm riding in the back with my cowboy hat on." Nick says coming out the corner. "Okay Kid, let's go" Matt chuckles. "Nova you coming?" Chris says leaning against the door. She softly smiles, "Sure"
They all go outside and sit in the car. Leila was in the passenger by Matt. Nick sat by Nova while Nova sat by Chris. ————————————————————
✥𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚊'𝚜 𝙿𝙾𝚅✥ ---------------------------------
My thoughts were singing loud along with the music that played and reminding me of the once composed keys. Haunting me with the thought of the person I thought I forgot about. Ethan. Why am I back at square A and when will I get out? My legs start bouncing and my palms are sweating at the thought of kissing him once again. Why am I thinking like this? I want this to be over.
Tears trail down my face which blocks out the sound around me only seeing blurry red lights as Matt continues to drive while humming along with my thoughts. Everything was unclear until I feel a hand on my leg.
"You okay?" Chris asks me with worry written on his face. I try to speak but couldn't. "Leila turn the music down really quick." Nick taps her on her shoulder and she complies. "What happened? Nova?" Her hands reaches over to mine and she softens her expression. "I-I don't know" huffing between each breath I eventually get my words out. "Nova look at me" Chris holds my hand "breathe in and out okay?" He coaches me and I follow taking deep breaths and everything becomes more clearer to me.
Leila turns the music slightly back up and looks back to check on me again. "You okay Nova?" I nod and slowly pulled away from Chris's hand.
I look at him and whisper 'Thank you Chris.' He nods while giving me a gentle smile.
His smile made me calm for some reason. It made me smile too. —————————————————————
✥𝚌𝚑𝚛𝚒𝚜'𝚜 𝙿𝙾𝚅✥ ----------------------------------
I made sure to take glances at Nova every once in a while. She calmed down and was sleeping on my shoulder. Every time I looked I had a smile plastered on my face.
"You think she is pretty huh?" Nick smirks at causing me to laugh. "She is almost like Jasmine." Nick widened his eyes and smiled softly at me.
He knew. He knew I found Nova beautiful. I showed it all day. I thought she reminded me of someone but she reminded me of a princess that never got their story told. She was beautiful.
"Okay guys we are back home now." Matt looks back and notice Nova slumped on my shoulders. "Oh... uhh try not to wake her up." He winks at me causing me to sigh softly.
I'm never beating the allegations. ———————————————————
Taking quiet footsteps into the house I lay Nova down on the sofa. "I'll wake her up in a little bit" Leila says as she sits at the kitchen table "Okay" I nod sitting beside Nova to admire her features.
Why is she an exception all of sudden? Was I starting to like Nova? Did I find her attractive?
I didn't know.. all I know is that my heart fluttered when I looked at her. ————————————————————
✥𝚕𝚎𝚒𝚕𝚊'𝚜 𝙿𝙾𝚅✥ -----------------------------
Seeing Chris admire Nova made me smile. He was gentle with her and she deserved that the most.
I had been there for Nova and seeing her cry guy after guy made me feel so angry. I wanted better for my sweet girl. Maybe Chris was right for her. I hope so. ————————————————————
✥𝚖𝚊𝚝𝚝'𝚜 𝙿𝙾𝚅✥ ----------------------------- I question every thing Chris said the other day. What happened to 'not wanting love'. It was adorable though, seeing my brother pierce his eyes down at her made me slightly laugh. He was already into her and it hadn't been a week yet.
And suddenly my eyes shifted to Leila. She was beautiful and she had this smile...and her hair. There were more words than beautiful that describe her, almost like she was perfect. ———————————————————— I go to the couch and pick up Nova making sure to not wake her up while Leila grabs the car keys and we go outside to Nova's car and I gently put her into the car.
"Okay, bye guys. Be safe okay Leila?" My eyes turn to her and she smiles. Her pretty smile. I could melt me right now "Okay Matt bye." She waves and puts the car in reserve driving off. ————————————————————
