Open Hands~ Bryles

Chapter 18- 'I'm Sorry...'

A/N: I'mmmmm backkkk! There's a note after the chapter so please read!
Also, I WENT TO THE TOURRRRR! It was incredible; I saw Briar do 20 freaking consecutive front aerials! I also got called out by Taveeta when they taught us choreo because I did a leg hold; she was like "Girllll I saw you at the back!" And pointed at me.
I am in their Instagram videos (you can't tell its me because we were in a crowd) but it was insane!
Also, this little girl thought I was part of the TNS cast and asked for my autograph; it also turns out that she then realised that she KNEW who I was (like my actual name) and still thought I was on the show 😂😂😂! She follows me on Instagram or something and it was so cute. Okay, ramble over- here's the story. ENJOYYYY!

Briar's POV
I push my way past the hospital staff and find myself in what used to be my dad's ward, soon enough I see my mum and Abbey.
"Oh my god! Is dad okay? What happened? Is he -"
I get interrupted by my mother, being very calm and collected:
"As you know, when hit by the car- your father broke a few bones and dislocated his ribcage...
Somehow earlier his rib relocated, but it went too far inwards; hitting his heart and left lung. They're currently trying to tie it back into place."
(A/N : lol this happened to me 😁)

At that particular moment, Myles rushed into the room; hands resting on his knees and gasping for air. I cover my face in anguish- letting a few tears fall and pool in the palm of my hands. A strong pair of arms pull me in for an embrace, I immediately could tell it way Myles.
"It's gonna be okay Lil B..." He whispers in my ear, barely audible.

Uncovering my eyes, I look up to see Myles smiling down at me; he leans in and kisses my temple.
"Thank you. For everything.
And sorry about ruining the date." I whisper the last part so mum and Abbey wouldn't be able to hear.
"You didn't ruin it at all!"
~~~~~~~

We'd been sitting in the waiting room for almost two hours, meaning it was coming up to midnight.
"Is your mum okay with you staying here? It's getting quite late Myles." My mother inquires.
"That's okay Mrs N, she's fine with it all. I'd rather be here comforting my best friend anyway." He chooses his words carefully, making sure he doesn't expose our relationship.

We wait for another hour in pretty much the same state, myself leaning forward; head in my hands and trying to think positively, and Myles relaxingly drawing circles on my back with his fingertips. Every sound causing me to look up incase of news, every time being unsuccessful. Until eventually at 1am, when all four of us had nearly fallen asleep- a young doctor walks through two big double doors and makes his way over to us.

"I'm sorry for your loss..."
A/N: Oh no! What happened?
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
So I know I wasn't going to update  yet, but I thought I'd just let you know what's going on.
I've tried to write as much as possible this week, but I haven't managed to finish this book yet- the length of chapters should increase though.
I'm thinking of maybe updating once every few days whilst still writing chapters in between.
What day of the week is it best for me to update?
