Complicated

Chapter 12- Talking To Abi

Myles' pov
Me and Briar walk into studio A right on time. Class was about to start so I don't have time to break up with Abi. However, I'm happy that I'm with Briar now. It's like I've had a piece of me missing and now I've found it.

"Myles and Briar what are you doing here?" Alain asks.
"Coming to class." I say.
"You're supposed to be rehearsing your duet in studio B! Your competition is in two days!" Alain says and shoos us out of the room.

We arrive in the music room and I start stretching. So does Briar. Once we've stretched, I put the music on and we start dancing our duet. Well Briar is barely keeping her eyes open. We get to a lift part and she basically just falls onto me. I help her gain balance and then sit her down on the bench.

"Why are you so tired?" I ask.
"I couldn't sleep last night." She says.
"Nightmares?" I ask.
"Yeah." She sighs.
"Don't worry Bri. It's over now." I say.
She doesn't reply and there is a silence for a while so I turn my head to look at her and I think that she has fallen asleep. I lay her down comfortably on the bench and run through the choreography by myself. I keep looking over to her because this is too cute. I just smile to myself until I feel a tap on my back.

I spin around and see Jessy standing there.
"What is Briar doing?" She asks angrily.
"Sleeping. Why are you angry?" I ask.
"I'm angry because you're both wasting an amazing opportunity! If Briar keeps sleeping and you don't wake her up, then CDC is going to look bad!" She yells.
"Shh! You're going to wake her up." I whisper.
"Did you listen to anything that I just said?" She asks.
"Yeah but we already have our duet." I say.
"Well practice more!" She says and storms out of the room.
If she knew what Briar had been through, then she would let her sleep.

After about ten minutes, Alain walks in.
"Jessy just told me that Briar is asleep!" Alain yells which wakes Briar up.
"Briar get up now! I expected more from you! No sleeping at dance! Now rehearse!" Alain yells and walks out of the room.
"If only Alain new." Briar says.
"Yeah." I say.

We're about to rehearse again so that Alain doesn't shout at Briar again when Abi walks in. I guess I should break ip with her now.

"Hey Mylo." She says and tries to kiss me but I push her off.
"What's wrong babe?" She asks.
"Abi I'm dumping you." I say.
She gasps and then puts on an angry face.
"Why?" She yells.
"I'm with Briar now." I say.
She looks at Briar, marches up to her and whispers something in her ear which makes Briar expression turn sad. Then Abi leaves.

"What did she say?" I ask.
"That I'm ugly and useless." She says.
"You aren't Bri." I say.
"If I'm not useless then how come I almost got raped?" She asks.
"Briar you were in shock when that happened. I promise that you aren't ugly or useless. Now who are you going to listen to, me or Abi?" I ask.
"I love you Myles." She says and I hug her.
"I love you too." I say.

"Now let's rehearse before Alain shouts at me again." Briar says and we do.
She still seems tired and sore do I help her out in some parts but she definitely seems more confident.

It's time to go home so I offer Briar a lift.
"Want a lift home?" I ask.
"Yeah thanks." She says and grabs her bag.
Then we both walk out of the music room to my car. We talk for about half of the journey to her house but then it goes silent for a while. I look at Briar to make sure that she's ok but she is asleep in the passenger seat. Why is she the cutest thing ever? We're only ten minutes away from her house so I don't want to wake her.

I pull up in her driveway and she's still asleep. Knowing Briar, she didn't sleep at all last night so she'll be asleep for a while. I don't mind. I can't wait to see her face when she wakes up.

I decide to text my mum because I'm going to be here for a while.
M- Hey mum, I'm not going to be back for a few hours.
F- Why?
M- I'm staying at Devon's house for dinner.
F- Oh ok as long as you're back by morning.
M- I will be.
Yeah my mum isn't that strict. So now I wait. Who cares? I get to look at the most beautiful person alive.

After about five hours, she starts to stir.
"Well hello sleepy head." I say.
She has a shocked expression.
"How long have I been asleep for?" She asks.
"Five hours." I say.
"Oh my God Myles I'm so sorry!" She says.
"Hey it's ok." I say.
"No you've waited for five hours!" She exclaims.
"I didn't mind. You needed a proper rest and I love looking at the prettiest girl in the world." I say.
"Aw thank you My, you're the best!" She says and kisses my cheek.
"Do you want me to pick you up the same time tomorrow?" I ask.
"If you don't mind." She says.
"That's settled then. See you tomorrow Bri!" I say.
"Bye My!" She says and I drive off.

Three words- best boyfriend ever.
