nova's pov :

"you really thought i would forget your birthday!" ethan yells

i chuckle and shake my head.

"no! i just... i didn't wanna make it that much of a big deal."

"nova! you already know i go extra for your birthday."

"ya, ya i remember. you surprised me with a fucking flash mob last year." i chuckle

"you know... grayson still has that video. i should play it at your birthday party this year."

"no! please don't!" i yell and stop walking

"shhh! it's 3 am and we're walking around a sketchy ass neighborhood!" he whispers

"why didn't you wanna bring grayson and perla?" i ask

"because, i wanted to hang out with my best friend. not my twin brother and my best friend's girl friend."

"hey! perla is your best friend too!"

"no. she's my close friend. you're my best friend."

"ok. stop being all... mushy." i shake my head

"why? is it affecting you?" he teases

"no, it's weird." i smile

"why?"

"i guess it's just because... i don't know. just haven't hung out with you alone in a while."

he stops walking, making me stop and i look up at him, smiling and scrunching up my eyebrows in confusion.

"i'm sorry."

he hugs me hard and rubs up and down my back, clinging onto his red sweatshirt.

"hey, it's ok. i promise it's ok e." i smile and hug back

we rock back and forth and he runs his hands through my tangeled hair.

"can we get ice cream?" he murmurs

i laugh and nod my head, in agreement.

he kisses the top of my forehead before pulling away and i get hit with a flashback of this happening before.

smiling, he grabs onto my hand and runs to our cab.
