Open Hands~ Bryles

Chapter 15- Together

Briar's POV
After a long morning, it finally came to lunchtime. I had gotten my food from the canteen and sat down with Jessy, Devon and Myles; the two boys on one side of the table, me and Jess on the other.
They were discussing whether we had made the competitive teams for this season; all had been told they had a place.. except me.
"Don't worry Briar- you killed it, they probably just haven't got round to calling you yet." Devon assures me as the others hum and nod in agreement.
"I hope they do..rehearsals start tonight." I sulk at the thought of not being able to compete this year.
~~~~~
After the others finish eating, they leave; meaning Myles and I are left on our own.
"Have you thought about.. You know.. Us?" He murmurs, trying to keep 'us' a secret.
"Well yeah, it's the only thing I CAN think about."
"Great.. And?" He prompts.
The school bell signals registration.
" I'll talk to you about it after school." I rise from my seat.
"I'll give you a lift home, meet me at my car after Biology." He says before walking away.
~~~~~
"Okay class. Thank you.  Have a good day." The substitute teacher says as everyone rushes towards the door. For a while I walk with Jessy until she reaches her car:
"My mum can drop you home, Bri." She suggests.
"Don't worry, I've already got a lift." I release a smile from my lips before hugging her and walking towards Myles' car.

I open the door to find him already sitting inside, tapping his fingers against the steering wheel.
"Hey." I say softly, taking a seat inside.
He revs his engine and starts to drive:
"So. What's your answer?"
I part my lips, ready to speak my mind to him; but just as I start, my phone rings.

I immediately answer as soon as I see the caller is the receptionist from CDC- I mouth to Myles that I have to take the call, earning an impatient sigh.

"Hey Soph."
"Hey Briar. Sorry about the long wait, you have a place on the competitive team. We tried calling your parents over the past few days but it went straight to voicemail."
I breathe out a relieved sigh before explaining that my parents were at the hospital.
"Aww Bri, I hope he gets better soon." She says sympathetically before saying goodbye and hanging up.

I turn back to Myles who's eyes were fixating on the road.
"The answer is yes, Mylo." That snapped his constant attention on the road to me.
"I do want to go out with you."

A/N: I don't know why, but this chapter was hard to write. But yay they're finally together.
