nova's pov (flashback) :
"oh c'mon ethan! i wore this for you!"
i spin around in my costume and i turn back around, seeing him laugh a little bit.
"hey! i made my best friend laugh." i point and smile
he slightly smiles and stands up, walking towards me.
"why did you wear this?" he asks, wrapping his arms around my body
my heart race quickens up and i wrap my arms around his back, rubbing it up and down.
"well, you're upset. so i wore this ridiculous costume to try and make you happy." i rest my head on his chest, hearing his steady heart beat
"thank you nov."
he runs his hands through my hair and i deeply sigh, snuggling even more into him.
"don't fall asleep."
"then, don't comb my hair."
he chuckles and kisses the top of my head, making me blush a dark red.

nova's pov (present) :
"perla, don't play with my hair." i jump back
her eyebrows scrunch up in confusion and she sets my hair brush down, along with the rubber bands.
"but i was gonna put your hair in braids." she pouts
"maybe later." i smile and rub her forearm
our hotel door slams open and we turn around, seeing grayson kicking off his shoes and strolling in his suitcase.
"you can take the bed with perla, grayson. i can take the floor." i smile and get up from the bed, patting the side of the bed i was on
"nova, no. you're sleeping on the bed. just because ethan kicked me out of our room, doesn't mean i should be getting special treatment."
"no i'm sleeping on the floor. please?" i raise my eyebrows
"i'll look like an ass if ethan comes in and sees his soon to be wife on the floor, sleeping while i'm on the bed, sleeping peacefully."
"soon to be wife?" i question
he nods his head and i shake mine, disagreeing with his statement.
"i'm sorry about this."
"why are you sorry? ethan should be." perla says
"you shouldn't even be apologizing. we like you over here." i smile
he smiles with me and throws his suitcase onto the bed.
"grayson! you almost threw your fucking suitcase on my hand!" perla yells
grayson stares at her for a second but then continues to unpack.
"if you're gonna be a dick, i will kick you out." she yells
"see what nova will do about it." he yells back
"why do you guys always fight?" i ask
"because he's an asshole." she points at grayson while he runs back and forth between his suitcase and the bathroom, trying to put his products with ours
"am not. i'm just fucking livid because of my idiotic brother. i mean, who kicks out their sibling for their girlfriend. that room is our room. not alison and ethan's!" he jumps onto the bed and smushes his face into a pillow
perla and i exchange glances and she cracks up laughing.
"perla, this isn't funny." grayson looks up
"i'm sorry. i laugh when i don't know what to say." she chuckles
i shake my head and began to laugh with her. grayson looks up at me and throws a pillow at me but then smushes his face into another pillow. he chuckles against it and looks up at us, rolling his eyes.
