I picked up the remote, it is afterall a Sunday, Netflix is the best plan for today.
Looking through the movies available, I decided to watch black-ish all over again.
"Not again" oh no, I forgot Honey was still here, she was just waking up, imagine. I am sure she has no idea about Trish's crazy IG post.
"Be worried about what your mom will say about Trish's post and worry less about my choice of movie" I told her and turned back to focus on my movie, grabbed Twinkie where Trish had dumped her, I pulled her close and sat with my two legs crossed on a footstool.
"No way!!!" Honey screamed, really? Was it that bad? At least they have parents who worry about what they post online, oh that reminds me, Mom slept over at the hospital yes

Jordan.It was crazy getting Nova home, the doctor said she was fine and I could take her, it was the shock of her father's death.I managed to find her car in the car park and got her in, the problem was knowing where she lived. The stress was causing me headaches as my head was not yet healed."So, where do you live?" I asked her hoping she was going to respond, all along she had been looking like zombie. I actually believe she should be admitted but Doctor Hector says she is fine, just in shock."Nova?" She only kept staring at nothing, seriously, this is getting out of hand. I inserted the key and invited the car into motion, I have no other option that to go to my house.Let me tell you something about me, My name is Jordan Myers and I am an orphan, like not literally but technically.

JordanAndrew and Lois walked into my living room but I could hear their voices even before they did, lousy humans.Sometimes I wonder how I became friends with those unserious fellow, especially Lois."Hey nigga" Andrew said giving me a side hug, Lois on the other hand had his attention upstairs."Where is the chick?" He asked me still looking towards the stairs."Really Lois?" Don't blame me, I know my friend and his wicked ways, he never has pure intentions towards ANY girl. If he had a sister, I wouldn't trust him with his sister."What? Can't a man be curious? Where is she?"."Look there" I pointed under my dinning table, he looked there quickly. "She is right there, idiot. NL is off-limit" I said half-yelling the last part.

NovaWe were all seated in Jordan's living room, never did it occur to me that the jerk was so rich.Looking around, I realised one thing, even though my dad is gone, I have people who love me.It never occurred to my mum to call me once, I'm sure she will have landed somewhere, sometimes, I just hope I have a mother like that of everyone else.Trish and Lois were cracking dry jokes and laughing like idiots while I only wallowed in my thoughts.I was also hungry but I can't comlain since he prepared me food and I refused it."I think we should get going" I said out of nowhere, considering the surprised faces thrown at me, the girls weren't ready to leave.

NovaThose idiots were busy laughing like fools, even Honey has decided to let go of her worries and join in their fun, I wonder what was so funny to cause such loud laughter.Their eyes all went to me as I started stomping my feet going down the stairs to make my presence known, from the little I've heard, they were making fun of Jordan and I."While you all are here laughing like fools, your friend is up there groaning in pain" I told them, they were surprised at my words."Why?" Andrew asked like he did not see a bandage on his head all along, he even dissed him with it."His head" I replied sharply."Oh, that! Thought he said it was nothing". Stupid friends, of course they would believe such obvious lie seeing how

JordanTara was hanging around her friends by her car when I drive into school, I prayed so hard she doesn't notice me drive in, I didn't want some girl clinging to me like some piece of gum."Jordan baby" That annoying voice of hers said as I passed by them, talk about being unfortunate.She is pretty and popular and all that but I hate how she tries to claim me for herself or how she follows me everywhere."Tara, morning" I replied her quickly walking away, all I had in mind was NL, I did not see her car in the park and hope she came to school.She told me yesterday that she will be fine and she also said "see you in school".I ran my hand through my hair, stupid me, I don't even have her contact."Dude" I heard Andrew say as he and Lois walked towards me."Hey" I replied dryly. They exchanged looks and then turned to me again."W

JordanI still can't believe Nova is in there unconscious. Her mother is one hell of an irresponsible woman, I know this feeling, my parents are also as useless, regardless my mom won't leave me all by myself at a time like this.Trish, Miley and sweet Honey walked in looking so worried, they were in the same uniform, making me wonder why Nova goes to a different school."Look who is still hot in her uniform" Lois teased Trish who was at moment not interested in his talks."Where is she?" Honey asked me directly, why me?"Still inside" I told her, just then the doctor came over to us, I was hoping Nova was awake already."No adult yet?" He asked and we all nodded but I am 18 already, can't I just stand in as an adult?"It's fine, what do you need?" I asked him."Who will fix the bills" oh that, the bills."I'm sure I can do tha

Nova“Mum?” I could not believe she was here. Shouldn't she be at work? That is where she love being afterall."Baby” she called out, I could see the guilt on her face, but I also felt guilty, I was stupid for endangering my life. Looking at the amount of people who loves me, I should have thought of them.“Why are you here” I wasn't so strong yet but for the fact that she came, it is something.“I heard you were ill” mum told me, I cannot believe her, what exactly was she doing here? she was always busy and her work was very important so why was she here?“Shouldn't you be at work”“Nova, I......”"No I thought I understood you, I thought you were doing this for me and you just wanted everything to be fine with me but I'm starting doubt my thinking, just like you are addicted to your job and no other person matters" I was just so pissed, I felt abandoned and I didn't know what I was saying at this moment, coupled wit

NovaFor the second time in two days I'm back at Jordan's house, it's funny how he happened to be the one I could reply on during those times.I used to hate him due to the first impression he gave me, I thought he was like every bad boy in schools, pompous and controlling but he had proved to be different."Mel!" He yelled from the living room where we stood, then, he turned to me. "Are you okay?" He asked to which I nodded.I was fine already, just felt a little weak and in need of sleep. Mel came rushing out to us, I pity the poor girl, I wonder why he treats his maids badly."Did you get the guest room ready?" He asked her and she nodded." Yes sir" he dismissed her and helped me to the room.I was amazed by the room, on the walls were wallpapers of the Nickelodeon squads and pink paintings. The wardrobe was purple while the floor was made of purple sh

JordanI can't believe Nova lived this long just waving at her neighbor and never even exchanged names."We inviting her for Thanksgiving and that is it" I told her firmly and watched her grumble.No she doesn't hate her neighbor but she thinks it is better the way they are. No unecesary drama but I think that excuse is lame.She sluggishly got up but eventually went to invite her neighbor whose name we don't know."The most shocking discovery ever, she is Karen Myers, legal wife of your brother Jayden" Nova said as she walked in, following behind is the said woman looking as innocent as ever.I have never been this surprised, Jayden never told a soul about getting married until his death."Jayden had a wife?" I said more of a question that a statement."Had?" The two women asked, I never thought it was important telling Nova but I guess his wife

NovaThere is a kind of unsaid happinesses that comes with being happily in love. Before you judge a situation, always listen to the other person's explanation.I haven't smiled this much on years and nothing can take that smile of my face."Nova" or maybe there is, that familiar voice, the very one I still haven't prepared a response for.Wait a minute, Nova?"Good morning sir" I turned around and greeted, he was smiling so hard, his face was nothing like how I last saw it. Whatever happened while I was away?"Oh please, you know I was just pissed, how was the trip?" He asked and for some reason I was really happy he is no longer pissed."Really great!" I replied him and turned to leave, only to bump into someone and my bag fell, every single thing inside of it scattered all over the reception."I'm sorry ma'am" the not so familiar worker told me and I just waved it, I have a bigger task of getting my things together, it was u

Jordan's POVCan you ever understand women? One moment they want this and the other moment they want something else.I felt like she was the girl Justin Bieber was referring to in "What do you mean". She's so indecisive!She's hurt, I know. It's because of me, fact established. I tried explaining, apologizing but she refused. What, am I supposed to keep doing that the rest of my life? Loving her doesn't make me brainless.Six good years of my life I spent trying to reach her and now it all feels wasted. I got dressed for today's work, thankfully, it's just tomorrow left to work, the rest was meant for relaxation.She was at my door about to knock when I opened, she quickly dropped her hand and swallowed hard."What?"

She is the same person that insults ladies in the movies when they don't give their man a chance to explain.So, I made breakfast, the best I could make, toast.Don't judge me yet, I nev

Nova's POVI rolled in my bed, my alarm must have beeped hours ago but I don't even know if I can face Drey at work today, not after what happened yesterday.It was all my fault, I shouldn't have used him the way I did, I knew I didn't love him, I kept making him hope. I don't blame him because if I were to be in his shoes, I'd be shattered.My phone rang, I picked it up to check the caller ID "DREY", my heart skipped a beat, I'm late for work but still in bed, I know for a fact that I've lost my job."Miss.

The door opened and I was hoping it was Jordan but instead it was a pretty woman, she looked so familiar."Hi" I greeted."Oh, hello" she replied staring at me in a kind of way I did not understand."Are you here to see someone?" I asked, just then Rita walked into the living room. She stared at the woman in shock, what? They know her."Welcome ma'am, we didn't know you were coming" Rita told the woman who just smiled and dismissed her."S
