My eyes widen as i hear the voice. My body instantly tenses up and i'm at a loss of words. I hear Myles calling my name in concern. I want to reply but i can't. My entire body is literally frozen and i turn to make sure it was actually him. As his face comes into view, i knew what i had to do. Get out of there...
I take my phone out and pretend to recieve a text message.
"Oh..i'm really sorry but i have to go. My mom needs me, its an emergency." I say and dart out the door without waiting for a reply, leaving behind a hurt and puzzled Myles.
I run to the nearest public place i could find and let out a sigh of relief when i get to the park. I thought i would finally be safe, when we moved house. I thought i would never have to see him again, but i was wrong.
All the feelings and memories rush back to me. I couldn't handle it anymore. I sit on one of the park benches and reach into my bag and take out a necklace.

I take off the necklace i'm currently wearing and place the heart necklace around neck. This necklace meant so much to me. It was the only piece i had left of Abbey other than pictures.
We had gotten matching heart necklaces for her birthday and we used to wear them everywhere. She was even wearing it the day she died....
As i'm smiling to myself at all the memories I had made with Abbey when we were younger, i feel someone place a hand on my shoulder. My head jerks around to see who it was but thankfully, it was just Jessy.
"Jessy! Phew..i thought you were someone else..."
"Are you ok? You look like you've seen a ghost, i thought you were having dinner with Myles?" She asks
"I was...." I mumble under my breath.
"Things didn't exactly go to plan..." i say out load
"What do you mean by that"
"He's back" i say in a whisper, barely audible. Jessy was the only person other than my parents who knew everything possible about me.
"What!?!" She gasped, her hands covering her gaping mouth
Jessy quickly pulls me in for a hug to comfort him.
I honestly can't wrap my mind around the fact that he's actually back. I'm really scared for my life and everyone i love and trust.
As Jessy releases me from her tight embrace, i notice that my hands and legs are slightly trembling.
"Briar, you're shaking!" Jessy exclaims
"Really?...i did not notice at all...." i say in a sarcastic tone
"Now is not the time for sarcasm! You should really get inside, come, lets go to my place!" She says dragging me to her house
---------------------------------------
I walk into Jessy's room and a wave if security and happiness washes over me.
Security, because i was indoors and away from him or at least i thought so and happiness because, well Jessy's room is really hard to miss, there's posters everywhere, her walls were brightly painted a teal colour and the flooring beneath us was white. Her bed is in the centre of the room while things are arranged around it. The arrangement if the room is quite similar to mine expect that my room would be slightly bigger.
For a minute, i kind of forget about what happened and i just relax. But that minute went by so fast.
I hear my phone ringing so i pick it up without looking at the caller, which i regret now..
"Briar!?! Are you ok?" Says Myles
"Yea.i'm fine" i say
"What was the emergancy?" He asks. Oh yea..the emerancy..
"Well..she just wanted to say something..." i come up with the worst excuses ever
"Oh..ok" said Myles He didn't sound too convinced
"It's such a pity, you had to go. Everyone was excited to get to know you better. Especially my dad.."
"Your dad?..Why whats so special about me"
"I dunno. He was just really eager to meet you for some reason"
"Oh, anyways..i have um...stuff...to do..bye..." i say and hang up, well that was an awkward end.
Jessy who was quietly sitting near me turn to look at me.
"So..how'd it go?" She asks
"Not too bad, but right now..i dont even know how to feel about this whole situation anymore"
"Its ok, i'll be here for you if you need anything. Do you want to go home?"
"Yea. But i should probably spend the night here"
I quickly text my mom to let her know my plans and change into the clothes Jessy hands me.
--------------------------------------
I wake up feeling terrible. The memories come flooding back to me and i am soon in tears. I just miss Abbey so much...i was the older one..i was supposed to take that bullet not the other way around. Jessy tightly hugs me. After i had cleared up my tears, i take a shower and when i'm done, Jessy asks me what im going to be wearing to school. I honestly, forgot i had nothing to wear except what i had worn yesterday.
"Can borrow something from you?" I ask
"Sure" she replies already finished picking her outfit, pointing to her wardrobe that was flooded with clothes. As i rumage through the masses of clothing, i find something suitable. I couldn't be bothered to wear something that looked good so i just chose something deccent. I put on my outfit.

I put my hair up into a fishtail braid and put on some light make-up. I'm really not in the mood for school right now. Between what happened yesterday to my break-up with Jake. I just hope people wont judge, because it may just seem as if i'm just using the guys, which i'm not.
I'm just so confused, how could my sister's murderer and nearly mine have been my boyfriend's dad. I'm nearly scared that Myles is connected to him, what if Myles knew about this. What if i was just a tool, what if the real reason he got close to me was because he knew who i was. What if?.. i needed to take a break from all of this. I couldn't let this affect me, i was just going to shrug it off like i usually did and go to school, dance and go. I'm sure everything will be fine.
That's what i had thought, but boy was i wrong
There u go! An update finally, hope u guys enjoyed it! ❤️
