Where she went

*12*

Myles' POV
I leave work slightly earlier so Abbey won't get suspicious about me being late, I know this is the right thing to do, even though I've moved on from Briar this is just a friend doing another friend a favour.
Once I reach the park I see Briar already stood there, under a tall tree trying to stop the rain from getting to her too much but with the heavy rain she's already kind of drenched
"Hey briar, I'm here." I call out to her, her head turns to look at me and she smiles a small smile at me, which I instantly return without questioning it. "Do you want another layer?" I ask her because she looks pretty miserable
"If you have one." she says innocently making me smile
"I'm a father, I always carry an extra coat around just in case." I say with a giggle before I go routing through my bag to find it
"Here." I say handing her a jumper which she instantly pulls over her
"It smells like all your old clothes that I borrowed smelled." she says before looking down at her feet, like she's embarrassed
"We were pretty cute weren't we." I joke, she lets out a small giggle
"I guess, and now look." she says the last bit under her breath, I know she didn't want me to hear it but I did
"Yeah, what happened?" I whisper, she looks up at me and shakes her head
"Do you not remember? You pinned me against a wall and nocked me unconscious, then left me probably hoping I was dead. Then you came back to Canada got married to my sister, had fifteen kids with her, and then found out your ex wasn't actually dead." she suddenly snapped, I could tell the pressure had finally got to her
"I'm sorry okay. You know I'm sorry. But sometimes life happens and we can't prevent what life throws at us. Right now I'm happy with Abbey and our children, maybe if I didn't make a stupid mistake in LA my life wouldn't look like this but I can't stop living my life." I say trying to calm her down but she just shakes her head
"YOU LEFT ME MYLES. You left me with nothing but bruises, I was alone in LA with no money no phone no job no house. I thought you loved me, I thought our relationship meant more to you. I thought I was over this, I thought I had healed enough to forgive you but I can't Myles because it hurts. I went from having everything to nothing in a day." I can see her anger calming down but in it's place is hurt
"Briar, listen. I love you and I always will but right now I have more important things in my life that I need to deal with but please, please come with me so you can be safe and dry." I plead with her, she just nods hew head before taking her hand in mine
"Myles?" she says looking up at me
"Yeah?"
"Where are you taking me?" she asks innocently
"Your coming back to mine, we have fire stairs leading up to the attic that I should be able to get you up without anybody noticing, nobody really goes up there besides me. I'll bring you food and once the rains stopped you can go home." I promise, she nods
"Why do you go up there?" she asks curiously
"Because up there are pictures of us two, Abbey didn't want them around the house so we compromised on in the attic, when I feel lonely I'll go and sit up there and try to remember all the great times we had together." Why did I just say that? Briar always makes me tell the truth
"Awww, but how do you ever feel lonely?" she asks making me laugh
"Sometimes no matter how busy it is around me I feel like I'm missing a part of me and just remembering every detail of our relationship makes me feel slightly less broken." I say honestly, she squeezes my hand slightly before we step back out into the rain.
