Nova's POV:
I woke up to the feeling of something on top of me. I opened my eyes to see Harper laying on top of me on her phone.
"Why are you on me?" I asked confused still trying to fully wake up. "Nova you sleep way too much" Harper said turning her phone off and looking at me.
"No I don't" I said with my eyebrows furrowed. "Nova it's 2:47pm. I've been up since 11:00am" Harper says holding her phone up.
"Oh" I laughed. "I'm jet legged I've been to so many states and it's messing up my sleeping schedule" I said as an excuse.
"Don't gotta flex on me like that" Harper laughed getting up.
"Anyways wanna grab some food, I've been waiting since you decided to hibernate" Harper said.
"First of all yes I would love to get food, and second of all sleeping is great" I said as I crossed my arms playfully.
"I know but there's a point where you're over sleeping" Harper said placing her hand on my shoulder looking sincere.
I just sighed. "What?" She asked.
"I miss Payton, he would usually be by my side cuddling with me when I wake up" I sighed again.
"I can be your Payton" Harper said jumping on me attacking me into a cuddle.
"It's not the same" I laughed. She got up and held her heart acting offended.
"Your right it's better" She said with a smirk.
"Uh huh" I nodded laughing with a hint of sarcasm in my voice.
"Sweetie come down I want you to meet someone" I heard my mom yell from downstairs. I looked at Harper confused, she just shrugged her shoulders.
"Hey Nova what's that?" Harper asked pointing at a small box on the bottom shelve.
"It's a box that has a fake sunflower in it" I explained. She looked at me confused.
"When Payton and I were little, maybe like 6, he got me a fake sunflower. Sunflowers have always just been kinda special between us" I shrugged. She just nodded her head.
"And then he got me this necklace" I said placing the sunflower in my hand from my neck. "You guys are such goals" Harper smiled.
I got up and looked in the mirror. I threw my hair into a messy bun real quick I headed downstairs while Harper stayed in my room.
I walked down the stairs to see my mom on the couch and a random man on the other couch.
"Come over here sweetie" my mom said patting a spot beside her on the couch. I hesitantly walked over and sat down next to her.
I gave her a confused worried look.
"Sweetheart this is Carl" my mom started. I just nodded my head looking at her waiting for more information.
"My boyfriend. While you went on tour we met and started to get to know each other more" my mom finished. My eyes widened.
I've always told my mom to try to look for someone new after dad. I didn't think she would though.
"Oh" is all I responded with. I turned to face him. He had a smile on his face. "Hi I'm Carl" he said holding his hand out for me to shake. I took it a shook hands with him.
He seemed nice and genuine. I can see him being part of my family.
"Your mother has told me tons about you" he smiled. I just smiled back. "And so I've also been told you got a boyfriend" he said raising a brow with a smile.
