A Bryles Story: Book 2

Chapter 16: Lies came to the end

After my talk with Myles, he seemed like, distracted, I think he probably realized that what Abi did was lying to him... But if he did, I didn't care, I was leaving anyway... I talked to Jenn and Amanda about the situation, and they were a little shocked, but they seemed to understand, and I was freaked out, Amanda being nice with me? Wow.
I took all my things and after 3 weeks in Elite, I quit dance... "Maybe I don't love it anymore, maybe it's time for me to quit..." I thought.
Later that day I went to Starbucks with Jessy, we hadn't talked for a while since I left, and I thought it would be a great idea to catch up with her, I really missed her...
- So, how are things going at Elit Bri?
- I left Elite... And I actually quit dance...
- What?! Why?!
- When I was at elite, Abi and Myles came, and also Ella, but she didn't make it in
- Ooh... That's where they went! I thought they left to go to Confidance or something, but I never thought it would be were YOU dance... That's really low...
- I know! And then, me and Myles got paired up to do a duet and for me to teach him the semifinals routine...
- No... And what happened?!
- Basically we talked about all this "cheating" thing, and he still believes it was Abi, but then... I told him that Abi has been making each other's lifes miserable for us to break up, and when I told him that, he kinda like, shit up and, he stayed in silence for a while, without talking, looking to the floor all the time... It was really weird...
- Briar, I'm sorry to interrupt you but, are there Myles and Abi discussing?
- What?! Where?
- There, in front of that black car
Damn goodness, Abi and Myles were arguing? I was happy in a way, and also confused, did Myles find out I wasn't cheating on him and Abi lied to him? I needed to know
- Let's go spying them
- Should we...?
- Briar, they are discussing, OF COURSE we need to spy them.
I have to admit I really wanted to spy them, so we tried not to be really noisy and stayed behind a tree to hear them, glad they didn't see us at all...
( -Abi and Myles conversation- )
- I cannot believe you did that Abi
- Did what?! Do you have any prove?
- Um, yeah I do, everyone is telling me you did it, and I checked your phone and it appeared an app telling that your recent edit was an audio track, and when I listened to it, it was the one you showed to me where Briar and Devon were talking!
- Well maybe I did, but what's the point? If Briar liked you, she would be fighting for you, and she is not!
- I can understand why she isn't, she feels hurt that I trust you before her, and she feels broken. I would do exactly the same, and I feel awful with myself too, how could I trust you?
- Well you don't have to be so mean
- Me? MEAN? Do you know how much drama did you cause here since you did that? All those months believing what you said, and then finding out it was just a lie?
Well you know what? I was lying to you to, I don't like you, we weren't even dating
- Then why did we kiss every time briar was around?
- Because as I thought briar was cheating on me, I wanted to take it back to her
- You used me! How could you?!
- You did too Abi
- Well fine! I did it! Are you happy now?
- Of course I'm not happy
- Well I don't care anymore, bye
- See you never Abi!
I couldn't believe it, Myles finally found out Abi was lying, I was so happy, but also sad inside, because I didn't know if I could forgive him like if nothing happened, he hurt me more than anyone has...
- Let's go Jess, I don't wanna be here anymore...
- Wait Briar, you should be happy! I mean, Myles found out she was lying!
- Yeah but, it's not that easy to forgive him and forget everything that happened, he hurt me, a lot, and I don't know if I can trust him again...
- It makes sense, but, he loves you Briar...
- He loves me? Then why did he trust Abi before me?
- He was hurt to, what Abi did was really realistic you have to understand!
- Look, thanks for your support but, I need some time for myself, if you don't mind...
- Um, sure, I understand. See you tomorrow then?
- Yeah, sure. Bye Jess
- By Bri, hope you feel better!
I had some mixed emotions after hearing their conversation, I needed some time for myself, to process what happened, when Myles came around...
- Hey Briar...
- Um, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with your girlfriend?
- Can we please talk...?
- About what? I don't really want to
- I know Abi lied... I know you were not cheating on me...
- Oh, good! So after months and months of lies, you finally believe me! Oh wow, what a surprise!
- Look I know you are mad but...
- Mad is not even a word to express how I feel, how YOU make me feel
- I know, I feel awful with myself, and I wanna fix it
- You have no chances, you arrived late, I'm sorry.
As much as I wanna be with Myles and forgive him, I cannot live remembering all those things he did to me...
