Nova kept to herself the rest of that night and the next day. She spent time working on her photos. I spent my time keeping her in my sights and watching TV. In three days, the girl ate a yogurt. Yep. That was it. I begged and pleaded with her to eat. It was like She was on a path to self destruction. At least it felt that way.
By the time we met up with the guys, Nova looked like hell. This whole thing has taken a massive toll on her. She has dark circles under her eyes. She looks frail and worn out. When Corey saw her, even he was surprised.
"Jesus, Nova." He whispered hugging her.
"I'm tired." She said, walking upstairs. Corey drug me off the bus.
"What the fuck happened?" He asked.
I told him about the hearing, our arguments, everything. This has been a lot on me too. I know it's not her fault. I know all of this, but I'm at the end of my rope on how to help.
"She's pulling that huh?" Corey grinned when I told him about her not eating.
"Huh?" I asked.
"It's the one thing She has control over." Corey explained.
"Dude, I don't know what to do." I sighed.
"I'll get her to eat. And I can make her get pissed. You gotta trust me just this once." Corey said.
"Have at it man." I said. We walked onto the bus. Everyone is sitting there.
"Everybody out." Corey told them.
"Suck my dick." Chris said, not moving.
"Guys, I'm not fucking around. Out." Corey said quietly. They looked at him, then got up. Corey turned to me.
"You too. Sorry man." Corey said.
"For real?" I laughed.
He nodded. I shrugged and walked off the bus. I grabbed a lawn chair and sat with everyone else. They all looked at me.
"She looks like shit." Alex said.
"Fuck you man." I glared.
"I'm not being an asshole. I'm worried." Alex said. I nodded.
"What's Corey doing?" Craig asked.
Before I could answer him, we heard something break inside the bus. It sounded like glass shattered.
"Go fuck yourself!" Nova yelled.
"Pissing her off. Nevermind." Craig laughed. I grinned.
I heard muffled talking from Corey, then heard something else break again. The bus doors opened. Nova started to walk off, and Corey ran in front of her. He threw her over his shoulder, while she kicked and yelled at him.
"Put me down you fucking prick!" Nova yelled.
"Can't. I love you, Nova." Corey laughed.
"You won't when I cut your fucking balls off!" She yelled as the doors closed. We all laughed.
"He really has a natural talent at pissing people off. Kinda like you, Sid." Shawn grinned. I laughed, nodding at him.
"Yeah, he does." I grinned.
I'm not sure what all was going on inside the bus exactly, but I was pretty certain that we needed new dishes from the sounds of it. At one point it was silent. Then I heard something that I still can't get out of my head. Nova let out this scream. It sounded like someone was killing her almost. I started to get up and Craig grabbed my arm. He shook his head at me.
