"dude what the hell happened to your face?" Nick asked me as I walked out the room and into the living room. I looked down at my hands that were covered in blood and remembered my cut.

What do I tell them?

I thought carefully because if I'd told them the truth they'd probably hate Nova.

"that's so rude to ask of you Nick his face is precious there's nothing wrong with it.." Edwin said as he put his hand to his heart like he was hurt and then he finally took a look at me and jumped in his spot.

"What the hELL happened to your face?!" Edwin screeched as Nick rolled his eyes.

"I.." I said thinking of an excuse but nothing came to mind, "have you guys seen Nova?" I asked them changing the topic.

"Nope." Edwin said popping the p in the word as I just stood there. Zion walked from the kitchen into the living room to spot all of us standing around. His face was vibrant and smiling before he caught a glimpse of me.

"Man what happened to your face?"

"I got cut."

"No not that.. you look ugly." Zion said snickering at the joke he made before the tears climbed my throat, I held my breath so they wouldn't escape but there were stabbing pains anyways and they came out instantly.

"Look what you did you made him cry." Edwin said looking at Zion.

"I-I didn't mean it I was just playing." Zion said apologetically.

"You guys are so dumb." I heard Nick say before he made his way next to my side, "what's up?" He asked me in a deep but quiet voice as I inhaled deeply before exhaling slowly.

"It's Nova..."

~•~

"Did you guys find her yet?" I asked despite everyone's serious expressions and Nova not being with any of them. Still, they shook their heads no in response.

"You even checked the ice cream shop?" I asked them as the rest of my friends stood silent letting me accept their answers being no. "Are you sure? That's her favorite place to go! This is all my fault. Shit!" I cursed to myself around me while everyone stood around me speechless.

"It's not your fault man." Nick finally muttered.

"It is.." I said sighing feeling a weighing pain in my chest knowing that I'd let her go, the fact that she was all alone by herself somewhere breaking herself down with no comfort. How was it not my fault? I let her feel this way..

"Maybe..." Zion cleared his throat and looked me in the eye, "Maybe it's best we let her go?" He asked me as balled my fist at the suggestion.

"You're a dickhead you know that right?" I asked as he made a confused face in return.

"How? You should let her go if she's in a state where she thinks she's going to hurt people." My feet where dug into the ground and I didn't feel like breathing. His words were a deep venom slowly sinking inside of me, "She literally hurt you but you can't see shit past your little alien crush." He said as the venom of his words finally killed me.

"Fuck you!" I spat out at his moving myself away from Nicks grasp and jolting towards where Zion stood nonchalant before he realized what I was doing.

My fist hit the rough surface of his face and my knuckles pressed into the side of his face leaving both my hands and his face red and swollen. All of the boys looked at me in shock and disgust as they ran to Zions side helping him up.

"Dude what the hell?!" Austin yelled angrily at me as I realized they truly didn't care about Nova like I did so I had to go alone.

"I'm going to find her by myself. Don't follow me." I demanded in a low voice feeling their eyes on me as I walked away.

~•~

After a long day of searching for Nova I gave up and decided I'd start searching again tomorrow. I looked down at my feet as it walked on the sidewalk and then looked up at the house hoping the guys weren't home.

Either way it was my home too and maybe Zion would apologize for the shit he'd said. I made my way into the dark and unlit house as I assumed nobody was home.

Still, I quietly made my way upstairs into my room jumping onto my bed effortlessly and groaning into my pillow. I lay like that for at least five minutes before I heard a sound coming from outside my room.

"Must be the guys." I whispered to myself as the sounds got louder followed by soft whispering.

"Guys?!" I called out to the outside of my room too lazy to really get off the bed. I got no answer so I rolled my eyes sighing loudly as I sat up properly on the bed.

One foot at a time I made my way off the bed fixing the glasses properly on my head. "Yoooo! Where y'all at?" I called out still getting no response rolling my eyes at their pettiness.

Then I heard crashing coming from Novas room. My eyebrows met as I wondered what it could be. "Helllloooo?" I asked as I made my way into Novas room to see...Nova.

"Nova! What are you doing here?!" I said happily as she just frowned at me, "I came here to get my stuff. You guys shouldn't want me anymore.." she said to me softly.

That hit my chest hard like a hammer as tears strung in my eyes. I laughed lightly at what'd she said, "Of course we want you.. All of us love you." I tried to soothe her.

"Then why are you by yourself?"

"I.."

"Brandon I enjoy the sentiment but I don't want to be the burden on you and your friends. I'm ruining your chance at an actual life. You don't need to babysit me anymore—"

"Nova I don't have a life without you." I said honestly but she just smiled at the words like they were a compliment instead of something that should be willing her to stay.

"It's ok.." she said sniffling, "I'm a bad person and I don't deserve you.." she said as I rolled my eyes tired of all the things she accused herself of, we both knew they weren't true. So I made my way towards her thinking of some way I could stop her from going.

"Brandon stop I'm only going to hurt you." She said holding her hands tightly in her lap. Holding my arms out I thought about kissing her but it'd be too awkward so I continued to come close to her just enough to give her a hug.

"Brandon I'm serious don't come near me!" She warned making me scared about the last time I tried to approach her. But that didn't matter anymore she had to stay with me..

As soon as I was face to face with her she yelled, "STOP!" as I couldn't hear anything feeling a force that fought against gravity pushing me across the room, a ringing sensation in my ears.

Then everything went dark.
