—daniel's pov—

the uber slowly pulls up in front of a one story house. string lights decorate the patio in the front lawn, the lights illuminate two chairs sitting on the patio. the driver turns around and gives me a small smile

'i hope everything goes well for you' he states

'thank you mr-'

'please, just call me reggie' he smiles

'thank you reggie' i reply before stepping out and walking to the front door

i take a deep breath before lightly knocking on the door. i stand back as i wait for someone to open the door. the door slowly opens to reveal an older woman, probably nova's mom

'ms everett?' i question

'ah daniel, it's good to see you again' she smiles as she politely greets me

'please come in' she continues, stepping aside to let me in

'thank you' i reply, 'um is nova home' i ask

'she's not at the moment, but she decided to walk to the cemetery a couple minutes ago' she responds, closing the door and walking past me

'oh. s-so should i stay or-'

'if you want, i can show you where she is and you can go talk to her. well, i'm assuming that's why you're here' she states

'u-uh yeah, if you wouldn't mind showing me where she is. i just wanted to go check up on her' i respond as i rub the back of my neck

'of course hon, i think she'll enjoy seeing you. she says she doesn't, but i know deep down she misses you' she smiles sympathetically

—nova's pov—

i slowly entered the semi dark cemetery and followed the path all the way down to dads grave. the moonlight shined brightly on the grey gravestone as i approached.

i sit in front of the gravestone and give a small smile, 'hey dad, it's been a while'

'i still miss you a lot in case you didn't know' i laugh lightly as i adjust the flowers that sit on the base of the gravestone

'um, in case you wanted to know, i finally became a model, just like i promised' i continue

'i also got a boyfriend named daniel seavey, he's a part of a band called why don't we and they're truly the sweetest and most talented group i've met. but daniel and i had some issues and broke up over some stupid reasons. i still miss him but ugh, i don't know what to do dad' i sigh, looking down at the dewy grass

'i really wish you were here' i whisper as tears threaten to spill

i look up at the sky and gaze at the stars, instantly finding comfort as i see a shooting star shoot across the sky

'you always seem to know how to make me smile' i say

'nova?' i hear a familiar voice state

i turn my head to see daniel's thin figure standing only a couple feet away, the bags under his eyes are evident by the moonlight, his eyes look fuller than before, he looks skinnier than before and definitely paler.

'd-daniel?' i question as i stand up and walk over to him

'h-hi' he stutters, a blush spreading across his cheeks

'uh hi' i reply awkwardly

'i know it's been a while, i've been crazy busy and i know you probably were too' he replies rubbing the back of his neck

'yeah' i trail off, looking at my shoes

after a couple minutes of silence daniel finally speaks up, 'so how are you?' he asks

'i'm uh, doing ok. how about you' i respond, as i continue looking at the ground

'to be honest, i'm not doing the best and i'm pretty sure you can tell. i know this is cheesy but i miss you nova, i really miss you. fighting with you was the worst thing i could've done and i should've apologized and just left it alone. i know this is late nova, but i'm sorry. you don't have to feel the same or even accept my apology. i just needed to get it off my chest' he rambles

i look up and stare at home with wide eyes, his now dull looking eyes meeting my gaze.

'y-you really miss me?' i question

'oh course i do, you mean the absolute world to me and losing you broke my heart. i didn't think i could fall for someone as hard as i fell for you' he replies

i open my mouth but words fail to come out

he shuts his eyes and sighs, 'before i go i just wanted to say one thing'

'say what' i ask

'that i love you' he smiles lightly before turning away

i smile brightly at the blue eyed boy before grabbing his wrist and pulling him into a hug. my arms snake around his neck as he slowly places his hands on my hips. i burrow my face into the crook of his neck as he does the same.

'i love you too' i reply against his neck

i feel his smile against my skin, his arms wrap around my waist and pull me closer.
