nova's pov (flashback) :
"don't make me use the video." i threaten
ethan tries to grab my phone but i step backwards and smirk.
"you're not showing alison the video of us from when we were 10 years old and we danced to beauty and a beat, nova." ethan says
"what makes you think i won't show her?" i threaten
"fine. what do you want?" he asks
"make me our dish." i smirk
"you want food?" he asks in disbelief
"yes. make me ravioli ethan, i'm hungry. i haven't eaten all day." i pout
"i'm only doing this so you won't show alison." he shakes his head
i laugh and sit down in the chairs of the kitchen counter and watch him grab the pans and ingredients needed to make the ravioli.
"have you ever cooked for alison?" i blurt
he looks up and his eyebrows furrow.
"s-sorry i shouldn't have-"
"i only cook for you." he admits
a smile plasters onto my face and i blush, playing with my fingers.

nova's pov (present) :
"n-no i can't do this."
i gently push his chest away from me and he scratches his neck, looking at me with confusion.
"what are you doing?" i ask
he opens his mouth to say something but nothing comes out.
"i can't keep doing this. i need to get over this." i talk to myself
"get over what?" he asks
"you!" i yell
"god, you ethan! i wear your sweatshirts and sleep in your bed as if i'm your girlfriend or something. i do so much for you and i still can't steer myself away from you. i spent 800 fucking dollars on you because all i wanted was for you to be happy and honestly, i would do it again! you know me better than i know myself for god's sake. y-you even have a girlfriend who honestly wants a future with you."
he steps closer to me and i step back.
"no. i can't do this." i point at the distance between us
"so what! we're not best friends anymore? is that what this is?" he yells
stepping closer to him and point at his chest.
"do you know how many times you've put me, your supposed best friend behind alison. alison is all you fucking talk about. grayson is more like a best friend to me than you're being right now, if i'm going to be honest."
once i say that, his expression changes and he looks at me in disbelief.
"grayson? you're kidding me?" he scoffs
"wow. you honestly want to do this, you're fucking kidding." i laugh
i shake my head, laughing sadly to myself and walking out, not wanting to hear anything else.
"i thought this was gonna be a trip where we actually didn't fight." a pit forms in my throat
"god! why does this always have to happen!" ethan screams
my eyebrows furrow and i step closer to him, concerned.
"w-what are you talking about?" i ask
"i'm confused nova! i don't know what i'm feeling!" he waves his hands around
"i love alison! i do... i really do. but..."
"b-but what?" i ask
"you."
"me what?"
"you! you're making me feel things!"
