All Chapters of Nightmare turned love : Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

Nova’s POV I settled into my room after my talk with Eli. I had no idea how his talk with Arnold was going to go, or if he’d even manage to say anything at all but yeah, I was hoping for the best. I laid there for… I don’t know, twenty? Thirty minutes? I just let my mind wander to the most random things. Don’t ask me what, I couldn’t even pinpoint a single one. But I know I wasn’t blank the whole time. Eventually, I picked up my phone to check up on Aiden, like I promised. His talk with his dad might not have gone as far as I’d been imagining, but I was still worried. I could at least do that much. I opened his contact, hit the call button, and started patting my feet against the bed as I waited. What was taking him so long to answer? Were they still in the middle of the conversation? The call rang for a few more seconds before I finally dropped it with a sigh. I switched to Messenger instead, sent a quick “Call me when you’re free” text, and tossed my phone aside. Well not befor

Nova’s POV I ended up texting Aiden because… why not? I’d been sitting here for hours okay, maybe just over ten minutes, but in hungry-girl math that counts as hours. Arnold and Eli were still nowhere to be found, and I was officially entering “hangry” territory. Why suffer alone when my boyfriend lived literally two minutes away? Exactly. So I sent the text and waited. I was still glued to the couch, surrounded by the sad evidence of my morning struggle: half an apple abandoned on the table, a bag of chips I’d given up on halfway through… yeah, it had not been an easy morning. The doorbell rang, and I nearly leapt to my feet. Finally. I practically bounced to the door, grinning as I yanked it open. “Hi, baby!” I shouted, loud enough to wake the entire house. Aiden’s brows pulled together in confusion, though he was still smiling. He probably thought I’d lost my mind, but no, this was strategic yelling. Arnold and Eli needed to hear and wrap up their little whatever it was. Peop

Eli’s POV I guess good looks aren’t an indicator of knowing how to cook, because what in the actual world did I just put in my mouth? It was like the pasta had been boiled inside a salt bag instead of the other way around. I shot Nova a look, one of those you know exactly what you’re doing looks as she strolled through the door grinning, pizza box in hand. Revenge. This was her revenge for earlier today. That little ball of attitude. In my defense… me and Arnold were actually… busy. And no, not like that. We were talking. Talking and, okay, maybe a little more than surface-level getting to know each other. Slow. Steady. Careful just like we said we would. My cheeks flushed just thinking about it, but that wasn’t the important part right now. I turned back to Nova, who’d reclaimed her seat, and shot her my deadliest glare. “That’s low, babe,” I said, brow raised. ''Even for you''. She chuckled lowly. “I’d say it was just right.” I shook my head, smiling despite myself. “Di

Arnold’s POVI knew coming out to my parents should have happened in a more thought-out and planned situation, but right now didn’t seem that bad either. I was more than sure about my feelings for Eli, so there was no need to cover up what was going on between us. Yes, we weren’t dating yet… but what if it happened soon? Honestly, I was waiting for it, hoping for it.So yeah, I knew what I was doing when I blurted out that I liked Eli.I didn’t even give myself the time to overthink how my parents were going to react. If I had, I would’ve chickened out. So here we were.My mom wore a soft look, her eyes still on us like she was taking my words in slowly. My dad, on the other hand, had a blank expression I couldn’t read… or maybe I was too much of a frenzy to try.“Why didn’t you tell us from the start?” my dad finally asked, his eyes raised. “Did you think we’d be against it?” His voice was softer than I’d ever heard like he was being careful not to say anything that could hurt me.Th

Nova’s POVIt was safe to say the cooking class turned out way better than expected. Once Arnold and Aiden swooped in to save me and Eli from our very unskilled kitchen performance, everything else went surprisingly smooth. We even managed to make a decent meal. Not as good as Aiden’s, of course he had to be irritatingly good but we got a thumbs-up from the chef, and honestly, that was more than enough for me.While Aiden and Arnold bragged for the rest of the class, I packed what was left into a container like we were told and stuffed it in my bag. Eli copied me with a grin.“Let’s get out of here before they talk our ears off,” he whined, tugging me toward the door, practically skipping. Yeah, he definitely enjoyed himself especially the part where he flung water at Arnold and tossed ingredients like we were in a food fight.We stepped out of the building with Aiden and my brother trailing behind us, still chatting like old friends reunited. Would’ve called them old men, except Aide
