Where she went

*7*

Abbey's POV
"Annie, give Piper her pencil back. Jacob don't fight with Charlie." I'm stressed. A lot. Myles has been out for about seven hours and all the kids are playing up it's lie they know I'm already stressed. Trying to get them to do anything is impossible and the fact that it's 3 am really doesn't help, I need Myles right now. I don't care if he doesn't love me like I love him, I just need another pair of hands. 
It's 5 am and finally all the kids are in bed, which means I should probably sleep as well but the quiet that's fallen over the house has given me time to think about everything, maybe Myles just walked out for good. Maybe I'll never see him again. These thoughts take over my mind until I hear a familiar voice
"What's up baby?" I hear Myles ask, I look up at him and quickly leap off the sofa and wrap my arms around his neck
"Where've you been?" I ask through heavy sobs of relief
"Just clearing my mind, I love you Abbey." he says the last bit into my ear seductively, I know what he wants and I know I can give it to him

Myles' POV
I have to pretend nothing happened, I know sex will take her mind off everything, especially if baby number sixteen's on the way, that will give her something else to think about while I go and visit Briar.

It was a decent night. It could have been better. If it was Briar but now I need to forget about her whilst I'm at home, I can't act suspicious otherwise everything will be messed up and I need Briar in my life but I care about Abbey too much to just leave her so even though I know lying to my wife is wrong it's the only idea I can think of now.

Briar's POV
I walk down the empty, dark streets and to the small flat above a toy shop that I call home. I walk up the back stairs and then through into the small living area, from underneath the TV stand I pull out my diary and begin writing

I saw Myles for the first time in twenty years today. It was strange and confusing but one of the most enjoyable times of my life, it felt like the old us again and even though I kept throwing issues at Myles it was mostly just to stop me from being hurt again because if we don't work out this time I don't know what I'd do. I can't watch us crumble apart again, I truly love Myles and I know he truly loves me. When our lips touched it felt like tiny sparks were being lit between our mouths.
I know that Myles is married to my sister and they have fifteen children but for some strange reason that doesn't bother me, I can see the way he talks about Abbey, he doesn't love her like he wants to think he does but there children.... In all honesty they interest me I want to meet my relatives and see if any of them look like me and have an extended family.
I know I shouldn't say this but, I want Myles back, I want him an Abbey to get a divorce.

I only put the truth in this diary, it's a piece of me, it has my heart spilled out on it's pages.
