nova's pov:
"nova you have to come down soon it's movie night." dad says
"tradition." mom nods
"can i sleep with you guys tonight?" i change the subject
their eyebrows furrow and they look at each other in confusion.
"but you always sleep in ethan's room." mom states
"n-not tonight."
mom and dad nod, understanding i don't want to talk about happened.
"come down soon, ok?" dad says
i nod and they walk out, leaving me in the guest room. sighing, i grab the half-wrapped present of ethan's and i start finishing it.
i hear footsteps running up the stairs and i shove ethan's gift under the blanket.
"nova!" grayson barges in
"grayson!" i chuckle
he rolls his eyes and runs up to the side of the bed i'm on and tugs on my hand, pulling me out the bed.
"holy shit grayson. what have you been eating?" i say in shock
"you're not that heavy ok. shut up." he laughs
"i find that hard to believe." i whisper
grabbing onto my hand, he runs down with me downstairs.
"guys, i got her!" grayson puts our hands up in the air
i chuckle and see everyone clapping, teasing me.
ethan isn't here. he's never missed a movie night.
my mood drops and i untangle my hand from grayson's and sit down next to cameron, leaning my head on her shoulder.
cameron immediately notices my state and she rubs my knee in comfort, making me smile.
"where's your boyfriend?" i whisper
"he's spending christmas with his family. plus, if he wanted to hang out with me i wouldn't let him. these christmas traditions are only for all of us." she whispers and smiles
i nod and think about how she said all of that, yet ethan didn't even stay.
sometimes i wish he had the same brain as cameron.
