Janet's gaze caught the eyes of her son.

    "Alex?"

She walked over to  him as tears filled her eyes. Then she embraced him in her arms. Then Robert hugged them both with his head down, and soon Ethan. All of it made Nova want to cry. 

She closed the door behind them all as they separated.

    "But...how?" Janet blurted out after a while. Alex chuckled.

    "This seems like a family conversation," Nova said awkwardly as she left the room.

Until she realized she had no idea where the hell she was going. She decided to go to Ethan's room. 

She opened the door and closed it behind her. She closed her eyes and rested her head against the door.

    "Finally," She sighed, letting out a huge exhale.

     "Finally what?" She heard a voice.

She let out a scream when she opened her eyes.

In front of her was a girl. Sitting on Ethan's bed.

     "Who the hell are you?" Nova spat.

The girl got up from the bed and smiled, looking seemingly amused.

      "I'm Simone," She informed her.

      "The better question is, who are you?"

       "Someone who has a good explanation for being here," Nova scoffed.

       "Babe, I highly doubt it," Simone replied sassily.

Nova glared at her. She opened her mouth to say something, but she was interrupted by the click of the door knob.

 Ethan's head popped out of the crack of the door.

      "Thank God Ethan," Nova rolled her eyes.

       "Who is this total-"

       "Simone?" Ethan asked, ignoring Nova's question.

Well that hurt.

       "Ethan!"

They hugged each other.

      "How are you here?" Ethan asked suddenly.

       "It's a long story. I'm calling Owen," She said excitedly.

       "Oh my God, yes! Call Owen!"

       "Who's Owen again?" Nova asked awkwardly.

They both turned deathly silent.

       "Owen's my bestfriend," Ethan reminded her.

Her face flushed with embarrassment. How did she not remember that?

       "Before this one," He said playfully, gesturing to Simone.

Nova gave them a tight smile.

       "Excuse us," She said to Simone before literally digging her nails into Ethan's arm and dragging him in the hallway.

She slammed the door behind them before letting go.

     "Ow," Ethan complained, rubbing his arm.

     "What the hell was that?"

      "I could say the same to you!" Nova hissed.

      "Could you at least give me a warning before random girls get into your room! I nearly had a heart attack!"
