Alle Kapitel von Nightmare turned love : Kapitel 151 – Kapitel 158

Arnold’s POVIf someone asked me to put this feeling into words, I’d probably fail. Words didn’t come close to describing the weight that had finally lifted now that things with Eli were sorted out. My chest felt full, so full it almost hurt. Even Nova and Aiden’s constant interruptions weren’t as irritating as usual.Eli’s head rested in the crook of my neck, his quiet chuckles bubbling up every time Nova teased him. I let myself sink into the moment, memorizing it, wishing I could bottle it up. Perfect. That’s what this was. For once in my life, I didn’t want anything more.Well… almost. I still needed to officially ask him out. But with how much I loved him, it shouldn’t be hard to pull off something that would make his heart flip the way he made mine. I just had to figure it out before the week ended.Because I wanted us to go back to school as boyfriends. As a couple. It was one of those impossible dreams I never thought I’d get, yet here we were—fear set aside, love finally give

Eli’s POVI was weirdly excited about this picnic. We’d never had such a chill hangout, all four of us together, so yeah I had high expectations for fun. And okay… maybe that was mostly because Arnold and I were in the almost-dating phase now. Fine, it was a huge part of it, but hey, I’m not shy to admit it.It hadn’t been easy getting here with him. Deciding he was worth the risk, worth the possible heartbreak, had taken me forever. But once I did… everything else just fell into place.Still, no time for deep thoughts. Nova had told me to “dress nice,” which was hilarious, like I don’t always look like a snack. I finally settled on baggy brown pants, a cropped tee, and a couple of chain accessories. Cute, but not “trying too hard.” Perfect. After styling my hair, I headed out, only to see Arnold’s car waiting.I slid into the passenger seat with a grin. “I’m not sorry for being fashionably late.”He chuckled, starting the car. “And I’m not sorry for not calling you out. I know you ta

Nova’s POVAs Aiden and I strolled away from the beautifully set picnic, leaving my brother and Eli behind, I was already grinning, fully aware of what was bound to happen while we were gone.“It was a lot easier to get out of there than I expected,” Aiden said as he slowly slipped his hand into mine.“I guess Eli’s constant delusion finally paid off this time,” I replied with a smile. “But for real though, why is everywhere suddenly so empty?” I glanced around curiously. “Does such a fancy hotel even have a closing time?”“It’s not closed, Nova.” His grin was the kind that screamed I’m up to something.My eyes narrowed. “Then what?”“Well, I pulled a few tiny strings to give us all some well-deserved privacy.”I stopped in my tracks, eyes widening. “You reserved the whole hotel?” I whisper-yelled. “That’s not the definition of privacy, Cross!” I swatted his hand softly. “You probably just inconvenienced a lot of people!” My pout deepened as he chuckled, like this was all some joke.“

NOVA’S POV Walking through those doors after what felt like forever was surreal, at least to my dramatic self. School was back in session, which meant we were returning to our usual, sometimes repetitive routine one I didn’t hate as much anymore. The hallways were buzzing with noise, and, as expected, all eyes were on us, like we’d suddenly grown two extra heads over the break. The old me would’ve been bothered by how people couldn’t mind their business this early in the day. But just one glance at the people beside me boosted my confidence. With Aiden’s hand in mine—like it had always belonged there and Eli practically glued to my brother, I had nothing to worry about. Well, except maybe hoping I sounded a bit more attractive in their gossip. “Do you think they’re still surprised seeing us together, based on all these stares?” Aiden asked as we turned a corner. “I think they’re more baffled about that couple,” I said, nodding toward Eli and Arnold. “I don’t even blame them, re
