The Boy on The Balcony

The Boy on The Balcony is the first chapter in the Once, We Existed novella. It starts off with a flashback and Nova introducing her apartment to the audience. She's sitting on a balcony at night when a boy comes up to her, her future boyfriend, Leo Callister. Andromeda sees them and tells Nova off. Nova rants to Alya about how unfair their Mother is and ignores both of them the next morning. A few weeks later, Nova goes out to the balcony to see Leo once again, who's drawing on a Hologram. They listen to music and sing along. The chapter ends with a cliffhanger - Nova's talking with Leo when she hears a scream and turns around "Oh my God...".
