Myles' pov:

Okay, so the plan was: Wake up, pretend yesterday evening didn't happen, eat breakfast, pretend yesterday didn't happen, shower, pretend yesterday didn't happen, leave and most important of all, pretend yesterday didn't happen. So as according to my plan, when Briar woke me up because she thought i had slept long enough, i pretended yesterday didn't happen. That i didn't fess up my feelings for her in the spur of the moment. Stupid idiot that i was.

I turn to lay on my back and immediately feel someone looking at me, Briar. Great she's awake too. I keep my eyes closed for another five minutes while she keeps staring, looking for an answer that yesterday night wasn't a dream. Or a nightmare, i think to myself bitterly. Gingerly i open my eyes and blink slowly a couple of times. Turning to get my iPhone i ignore Briar's gaze on me and look at the time. 9.29 am.

"It's still so early!", i groan into one of her pillows my head was resting on. "Why am i awake?"

Still looking at me Briar answers me, "I didn't close the curtains totally yesterday, you probably woke up due the light shining trough."

I just hum in response and continue to lay there. "When is your sister coming back?"

"In the afternoon, she hasn't given a precise hour but before dinner. Why?"

"Just wondering", damn it. It would've been easier to escape if Abbey had came back early. I okay i am smart, or at least not very dumb. I can think of a believable excuse, and until that i'll just pretend to sleep. Yes, great job Myles, i think to myself sarcastically. I snuggle further into one of her pillows, close my eyes and think about a solution for this very urgent problem, if i do say so myself.

I could say i had an extra dance practise with Devon for out duet, or one with Isaac for the new episode of The Next Step. Maybe i could say i had promised King to come home early so we could do something together, since we hadn't spend that much time due to rehearsals and practises in general.

After thinking about it chose go with a little of all of them. I open my eyes for the second time that morning and turn over to look at Briar; she had been quiet the whole time i was thinking this trough. Normally i couldn't get a word inbetween what she was telling me. Great i already screwed up our friendship; maybe i can never make this okay again. Ugh.

When i see her face, i can tell that Briar is deep in thought. Almost as if she can feel me looking at her, what she probably can, she breaks her gaze from the point where she had been looking at and focuses on my eyes. Yeah okay, it would've been easier if she didn't look at me with her beautiful eyes, beautiful face, but i wouldn't want to live a life where i didn't know her. Where she didn't know me, where she would never look at me. Maybe you already caused that yesterday though, my inner voice reminds me.

"What's wrong?", Briar asks me, which i take as a cue that i had been silent for too long.

"I have to go", i begin and immediately see the disappointed look on her face, "I have practise with Devon for our duet for the dance awards, then with Isaac for the new episode and i promised King i would spend more time with him."

In the middle of my explanation she already begins nodding to me that she understands. "Yeah okay. I get it", she smiles and for a split second i could swear a tear formed in her eye."

"Are you sure?", i ask studying her.

"Yeah. Yeah it's fine."

Before standing up i bury my head in her pillow one last time, because this may be the last time i come here. "You're absolutely sure though?", i ask while putting me clothes on.
