Cracks in the glass -Bryles

Chapter 6. Ex-best friend

Briars POV
I was telling Taveeta that I was fine for the 30th time when I felt Myles tense up beside me. I looked at him and he had pure anger all over his face. He looked like he was about to erupt. Soon enough the others started to notice as well.
"Dude you good?" Asked Isaiah.
Nothing. There was no reply. Instead he just got up and through his phone onto the floor causing it to crack. He punched the wall as hard as he could, leaving his knuckles bleeding and a dent in the hospital room wall. "Myles?" I asked worried. He didn't even look at me, he just left the room. What was going on? I turn my head and see everyone with shocked and confused expressions, looking from the dented wall, to me.
"What's wrong with Myles?" Asked Britt.
Little did she know I had no clue myself.
"I have no idea" I replied.
"He seemed to be annoyed at something on his phone" said Shelby.
"Mmmmm" I trailed off, thinking of a reason he would have to storm off like that.
"You're getting discharged soon so.... we better go tidy the tour bus" said Lamar.
"Why would it need to be tidied?" I asked
"Bri, you threw up blood all over the bathroom and we were all worried about you so we didn't have the heart to clean up anything" said Vic.
"How long have I been in here?" I asked suddenly realising that I did not know. It only felt like I had been here a few hours.
"4 days" replied Trev.
What!!!!!!!!!
"Oh my god!" I almost yelled.
"Myles didn't leave this room once" said Trevor, knowing that it would make me smile.
"We should all go then" said Taveeta smiling at me.
"We'll see if we can spot Myles on the way out" said Jordan giving me a gentle hug.
"I'm glad you're okay" said Britt before shutting the door on her way out.

Myles POV
What the actual fuck!? How does he have the nerve!? He doesn't have the right to know if briar is okay or not! He shouldn't even be in Briar's life. Looking back a few moments earlier, I realise that I made a scene... everyone is probably wondering why I freaked out. I look down at my knuckles, they were sore. I wish it had been Devon's face instead of that wall. Briar must be really confused. I stand up about to go back to Briar's room and explain when I see all the cast walking towards me. "Myles, what the hell was all that about?" Vic asked.
"Don't even worry about it" replied with no emotion.
"Hey! That's my line" said Trevor, making me chuckle and everyone burst out into fits of laughter. "Seriously though, are you okay?" Lamar asked.
"Yeah dude I'm fine, it was just something i saw online that annoyed me" I said with a fake smile. "Okay, Devon just texted
me and he wanted to know if Briar is okay" Jordan said typing away on her phone.
With that I just walked away without saying anything and clenched my fists. Words couldn't describe how I was feeling. My best friend (ex-best friend) raped the love of my life.

Briar's POV
After everyone left, I took a few moments to take in everything that just happened with Myles. The longer I think about it, the more confused I get. "Hey Briar, we should be here with the discharge papers in 15 minutes" said Meredith poking her head through the door. "Okay thanks" I replied with a warm smile. "Oh, looks like that phone is cracked" said Meredith before picking it up and handing to me.
"See you in a bit" she said before leaving again.
Now, I'm not normally a snooping kind of girlfriend, but I wanted to know what made Myles so angry that he hurt himself and shocked the rest of the cast. I unlocked his phone, I was surprised I could see anything the screen was basically shattered. I squinted my eyes and just about made out the words....
Oh my god. Now I understand. Devon text him about me... that really must of set him off. I turned the phone off again and placed it on the pillow. Little tears were running down my face as I thought of Devon and how much he hurt me. It took lots and lots of makeup to cover the bruises he left.
A few minutes past and I remembered that Meredith would be here soon with my papers, so I decided to go to the mini bathroom in the corner of my room and freshen up a little bit. I washed my face and my hands, carefully going over the small cuts on my wrists. How could I be so stupid!? Why did I ever think that it was a good idea to cut myself? I walk back to my room and grab the bag that Taveeta packed for me. I walk back into the bathroom and open the bag to find, my toothbrush and toothpaste, clean underwear, deodorant, hair ties and clothes. I grab a hair tie and put my hair on top of my head so I can brush my teeth. 4 days without brushing my teeth! 4 days! I must stink. After I brush my teeth I take the hospital gown off, showing my naked self in the mirror. I visualise where the bruises used to be and find myself once again crying. I hated this. I hated being helpless. I grabbed a cloth that was on the side and ran it under the warm tap. I wonder if Myles is okay. After the cloth is warm I gently wash my skin so I feel clean and don't smell. I quickly apply deodorant and put my underwear on. I chuck on the clothes that Taveeta left me. It was grey leggings, a white vest top, a maroon cardigan and my pink fluffy socks. I took my hair tie out and brushed through my hair with my fingers before putting it into a neat ponytail. I packed all my things up and walked out of the bathroom. Myles still wasn't here, and that made me anxious. What was he going to do? Is he okay? I made up the hospital bed and folded up the gown. I grabbed Myles' phone and put it in the front pocket of my bag before sitting in the chair and resting as I was starting to ache.
2 minutes went by and neither Meredith or Myles showed up. I was about to go look for Myles as I couldn't wait anymore when he walked in. I ran up to him and hugged him as tight as I could. I was so glad that he was alright. He hugged me back and kissed me on the head. "Hey beautiful" he said before pecking my lips.
" I love you" I said quickly before looking at his face. "I love you more Bri" he smiled.
"Briar I'm so sorry for making a scene, I bet you got bombarded with questions from the cast after I stormed out, but let me expla-" he rambled on before I cut him off by kissing him.
"Myles I saw the text, I'm just glad you didn't hurt yourself" I said staring into his eyes.
"Briar I am never going to be able to get over what he did to you. I want to murder him, I'm being serious" he said suddenly tensing up again at the thought of Devon hurting me.
"I love how much you care and that's one of the reasons why I love you so so so much M" I said taking his hands in mine.
"You can't possibly love me more than I love you" Myles said smiling at me. I was just about to protest when Meredith and a nurse came through the door. "Hey Briar, hey Myles, here are your papers just sign them and you should be good to go" Meredith said joyful. "Here are your clothes Miss Nolet, we had to wash the blood off of them" said the nurse, handing me a plastic bag. "Thank you" I said putting it next to the bag Tav gave me. "Oh Briar, this is Aimee, your nurse, she assisted you when you were unconscious" said Meredith pointing at Aimee. I shook Aimee's hand and signed the papers. I looked behind me to find Myles carrying both of my bags. I gave him a smile, hugged Meredith and Aimee goodbye and left with myles' hand in mine.

Myles POV
I'm so glad that Briar is okay, I seriously think that I would have killed myself if she had died. I swear to god that I'm going to kill Devon when we get back to Toronto, but for now, I'm just going to enjoy her company.
