The Other Man

<2>

Briar's POV

"So this year we're going to have the annual sleepover again, it's on Saturday, I hop to see everybody there." Alain told us all, we nodded and then I turned to Myles
"You going?" I ask
"Ermmm, no sorry..."
"why?"
"Family issues..." he mumbles
"It's fine I guess....." I sigh, he looks down at his feet guiltily
"Anyway, we need to warm up." I say changing the awkward conversation
"Yeah, I guess." he says before walking over to Devon

We're half way through a six hour rehearsal and Myles has only spoke to me once, I don't know what I did but I feel kind of guilty for doing nothing.... I hate seeing him so sad, he's too perfect to be sad.

It's the end of the awkward rehearsal and I need to get to the bottom of this, so I walk over to him
"Myles, what's up?" I ask directly
"The sky." he says sarcastically
"You know what I mean." I sigh
"Ermm, you hear that?" he says
"Nope."
"Well, it was my phone and I need to leave so bye..." He then turns around and bolts out of the studio. Confused, I consider following him but decide against it because I know Myles and I know that's the last thing he'll want, so I leave him. Hopefully it'll have all blown over by the morning.
"Hey Briar." a voice says, my thoughts are interrupted to see one of my bestfriends there
"Oh, hey Dev." I say
"Have you noticed Myles acting weird?" He asks cautiously, I nod my head before replying
"So I'm not the only one then?" I ask, he shakes his head
"Nope, the whole group are talking about him, I thought seeing as you're his girlfriend you might know something." he says, I can hear something in his voice that sounds kind of like resent but I put that to one side
"He won't tell me anything besides 'family emergency'." I say putting quotation marks around the last bit, Devon nods before walking off

Devon's POV
Is Bryles falling apart? Is that why she doesn't know anything? Do I have a chance with her? Or will it just make them closer?

Briar's POV
It's Saturday and Myles has been avoiding me since Wednesday, the day of the awkward rehearsal, I really hope we're not going to break up.....
I'm going to the sleepover without Myles but to be honest it will be a nice relief from him always acting strange around me, maybe I'll be able to forget about this whole mess for a night. I know it's going to be a good night for two reasons, one because CDC are basically my family and two because there's going to be easily accessible alcohol........

I'm at the party and it's pretty great, so far Jessy's thrown up three times and I've watched my younger sister make out with at least three guys so all in all it's been pretty fun but I'm kind off bored, normally I'd be in the corner with Myles but not tonight. I hoped tonight would take my mind off Myles but if anything it's making me realise just how much I miss and need him. However I do keep on seeing Devon and I can't help but notice how hot he's looking. His shirt is tight to his skin and you can see every muscle, he just looks so perfect. Myles isn't here and everybody's too drunk to remember this anyway, what's the worst that can happen?
