I am forgetting the people I have thanked! But this one goes to THE_BISS because I love your comments and would love more of them!! 

Things are getting less dark and gloomy after this one, sorta lol. Cole scene too soon. It's a phone call, the one he made to Nova at the gala. But at least we hear him again soon. But for now. 

Have a self destructive Nova:( Please continue to love my girlie-


"Nova?" Sophie's voice startles me awake and I blink, my eyes crusty, my hair greasy.

I promised Rosie that I would wash once I got home Monday morning.

I haven't.

I just moved to go to the toilet and to grab myself water, and then I would go back to bed.

"Sophie?" I whisper confused, blinking as I wake up, confused as to why she is here.

She has a key.

Damn. 

"What day is it?" I ask delirious. 

"Wednesday, afternoon." She answers me and I rub my eyes.

"Nova are you okay?" She says, looking around my room, at the mess, at the sight of me.

"I'm fine." I croak, sitting up and I can literally feel how gross I must look.

"You didn't go to counselling."

"I am sick." I say and she nods slowly.

"I can see that sweet."

"You should go."

"No, I think we should have a chat."

I just lie back down.

If I go back to sleep she cant keep talking to me.

"Nova?"

I press my eyes firmer together and she crouches down next to me head, her hand laying on my shoulder.

"Sweetheart we should get you out of bed."

She knows.

"No."

"Okay."

She sits and I open my eyes, the woman just sitting down next to me on the floor, her hand still attached to me.

"I need you to leave."

"How long had it been bad for?"

I fall silent.

I don't know.

"Please." I breathe and she looks at me with such concern that she then opens my side draw.

She knows me so well.

When I said hide things that would hurt me.

I may have meant gather them.

She nods.

"Let me just take these." She says and goes to pull the draw out.

I sit up immediately.

"No, you can't."

If they were there, I was in control.

"Calm down." She says gently and I push the draw back in, looking at her in panic.

"Would you like a cup of tea?" Sophie asks me and I blink at her, what?

"Two sugars? I recon you would benefit from something sweet." She smiles and stands up. I watch her numbly as she walks around to my window and opens the blinds, opening the window too.
