LOGINDYLANI looked around trying to find Nova but I didn’t. I attended every class that we had together but I didn’t see her anywhere. I saw her the day before and she came with the leftovers of the dinner we had and gave them to me. She must have felt sorry for me so she came to school with a well-packed leftover. The feeling that it left behind in my heart was something I had never felt before and I couldn’t put it into words. She made me feel a different type of way.Elliott tried to steal it from me and when he failed he tried to buy it from me but I declined. I locked it away in the refrigerator and ate small portions savoring every bite. It reminded me so much of my mum and I couldn’t shake it out of my mind. I remember trying to make it one time and I almost burnt the kitchen down.I sent her a text but got no response and that just had me worried. I rushed into the cafeteria when it was lunchtime to find May and ask her about Nova. Finding her wasn’t going to be hard, she always
She came knocking at my door begging me to open up but I didn’t listen and just sat with my thoughts. It took a lot from me, a lot to break out of that trauma that kept me bonded in that moment of my life. It was one of the darkest periods of my life, it was awful for me that I almost lost my mind I tried to kill myself and I even got locked up in a psych ward for weeks.They made me sit through court and explain what happened over and over again. They blamed me for not speaking up, he called me a liar and promised to come find me if he got out and that drove me mad. I only calmed down when they told me he was locked away and would never show up again. That was what made me carry on living.And he was back?How was I going to keep on going after what he promised?Every noise made me jump, I looked around in panic every minute that passed by. I folded myself in a ball behind the door as the hours passed, I was still in the same spot when the sun rose out of the clouds.I couldn’t sleep
Just like my mum said when I got back from school she was back. She had wine in her hand twirling the glass, and she looked a lot more relaxed.“Mum” I called“Nova” she got up from the stool and walked up to me with her hands stretched out“When did you get back?” I asked and she wrapped me in a tight hug not saying anything for a while and just held onto me“Is everything okay?” I asked“Yes, everything is fine” she stroked my hair“Everything is perfect” she let go of me smile“You are acting super weird” I gave her a side eye“Can’t I hug my daughter anymore” she laughed hugging me even tighter and showering me with kisses“Mum” I whined trying to move away from her and she just laughed“I have homework” I walked away“Wait” she rushed towards me“I heard something” she smiled“What?” I asked“You had a boy over is that” she said with an even bigger smile“Oh my God” I gasped palming my face “Who told you that?” I asked“I can’t reveal my source” she shook her head“I know Joy di
“Here” I handed him a bottle of water“Take it and leave” I said through my teeth“Have you had dinner?” Joy came out with a tray of snacks for him“No”“He isn’t staying long” we both said at the same time“Nova be nice to your guest” Joy said placing the tray of snacks on the middle table in the living room“Thank you Miss, I have been starving” Dylan said innocently, I watched with my mouth at the performance he was putting on“Her mum made some food, she is the best cook ever and there is plenty to go around you can call me whenever you guys are ready for dinner” he smiled, and even brighter when she looked at meShe was a sweet lady maybe too sweet for falling for Dylan's theatrics“You don’t have to worry, I can heat the food for us” I said through my teeth“That would be lovely, I would leave you too alone” her smile growing even bigger“Just let me know if you need anything, anything at all” she added before finally turning to leaveI knew she couldn’t wait to fill my mom in o
“Why is it so funny?” He asked looking at me confused“That has to be the funniest thing you have ever said” I wiped the tears that formed at the corner of my eyes“That is the only reason trust me” he said“Trust me when I say that is not true” I said “Why ?” He asked “It just can’t happen that’s it” I told him and that was the truth there was no where in hell that Dylan could like me even thinking about made me laugh even more.“I know what I know” he shrugged“Let’s get you home” he said dropping the topic, I took his hand he stretched out to me and he lifted me up“Does it still hurt?” He asked about my leg“Not as bad” I said“Thank you” I smiled sweetly at him“Anytime princess” he winked yet again“One day your eyes would fall off from all that winking” I laughed“Not my fault the girls like it” he winked again this time biting his lower lip alsoHe was such a flirtOne of the reasons I tried to just remain friends with him and not mention how I truly felt His phone rang and
“You were like a beast, what came over you?” He asked“I had some things on my mind I needed to get rid of” I laughed“And your leg is fine?” He asked“I understand what you meant by we have school tomorrow” I laughed limping towards, my legs were on fire I could barely feel them“We need to get an ointment and massage it so it wouldn’t get worse tomorrow” he threw my hand over his shoulder and his hand around my waist helping me walk“I have one” I showed him the one I was given“That’s good, It would help you” The finish line was at the park so we went to a corner where he helped me sit down.“I would be back” he rushed away and rushed back with two bottles of water, he twisted the cap for me before handing it to me“Thank you” I told him before taking a big gulp, I needed it“Alright let’s get this done” he said after emptying his bottled water“Raise your shorts” he said sitting in front of me“What?” I asked with wide eyes“Get rid of the dirty thoughts in your mind Princess ” h
