nova's pov (present) :
"ethan!" i chuckle
he still clutches onto my leg and looks up at me with a pout.
"c'mon bub, i need you to get up." i laugh and twirl one of his soft curls on my index finger
he cuddles in even closer when i say 'bub' and closes his eyes, resting his head on my leg.
"e. you gotta get up man. we have a flight in the morning." grayson chuckles
perla's head rests on grayson's shoulders and she waves her hands around from time to time, still dancing to the faded music from the club.
"guys. the car is right there. c'mon! we got this, ok?" i smile
ethan looks up at me with teary eyes and my mood quickly softens.
"h-here gray."
i toss him the keys and he catches them but looks at me with a confused look.
"uhm... ok. tell me if you need me to come back, to help." he chuckles
i watch grayson wrap his arm around perla's waist, putting her weight on his. her right hand clutches onto grayson's shirt, trying to keep her balance.
when they finally get into the car, i let out a breath of relief and fall down next to ethan, putting my hands on his wet cheeks.
"what's wrong?" i whisper
"it's alison."
"what about her?" i ask
he takes my hands off of his cheeks and puts them down on his lap, scooting in closer. i start feeling nervous when i realize how close we are but clear my throat to try to somehow, calm myself down.
"she's such a good girlfriend but..."
"but what?" i ask
"i lost feelings."
