The start of something good - Bryles

15 - Dad...

Myles

It have been a couple days sonce my date with Katie, and I just asked her out again to night. I had fun, so I might as well have some more fun.
But else, I'm still trying to avoid Briar as much as posible. I really don't want to, but it's for the best.

"Hey guys!" I say when I walk over to Devon and Jessy, no Broar though. "Sup Bro?" Devon asks. "Not much, I have a date to night." I say like it's the most normal thing in the world. "With that Katie girl?" Devon asks, I nod, "Well you'r welkome!" He says with a smirk. I laugh, "Thanks I guess." "No Myles, this is so wrong!" Jessy suddenly exclaims, wich makes the people standing next to us look. "What?" I ask, I don't get it. "Am I not aloud to date people?" I ask raising an eyebrow. "Sure, just only Briar!" She quickly says. What, she knows that she don't want to. I can feel my hole body tense, wich makes it pretty obvious that I wouldn't mind, so I need to do something. "Well that's not going to happen." I say, sounding way to disappointed. "Yeah it is!" Tina says, who walks up to stands beside her. "GO BRYLES!" Anne shouts out, and everyone start cheering. What the hell is happening, and what is Bryles. "Bryles?" I ask. "Yeah! Briar+Myles=Bryles!" Jessy says excited. Well I would like that, put it's not going to happen. "I wish." I say, and immediatly look up. Did I just said that out loud. Great now everyone is looking at me. "I mean, I wish that you all would just stop saying that." Nice try Myles. "Dude." Devon chuckles. "Moving on?" I ask. "Fine." Jessy says. "Thanks. But by the way, where is Briar?" They all get quiet. "Well, we actully don't know, but she's proberbly just ill or something." Jessy explains. "Sure?" I ask. "Yeah." Jessy replies. This does sounds kinda suspicious. Briar is never ill, mabye something's wrong. Ugh, I just wish I could be there for her.

The hole day I'm just wondering what's up with Briar, what is she not telling us?
"Myles? MYLES!" My teacher shouts through the classroom. Ups, I wasn't paying attention, and now comes the price. "What were you thinking about? Something inprtant?" She say, while raising her eyebrow. I guess she can do that to. "Yeah, actully." I say, after I've been thinking a bit. "You wanna share it?" She asks clearly annoyed. "No, I'm good." I quickly say. I can't let people know that I was thinking about Briar. "Well, then listen now ok?" "Of course!" I answer. And them the she goes back to the class. That was close. But I still need to find out what's up. Should I go to her house? Can I even handle going to her house?
I have to try. But what if she want let me in, that would be- DRIIIIING, DRIIIING! My thoughts get cut up by the bell, telling us that we now can go home.

I'm just parking my car outside of Briar's house, and god I'm nervous. Is she even home, cause it looks pretty empty. Well I can atleast try.
I slowly walk up to the front door, and ring the doorbell. After a few sekonds the foor swings open.
"Oh, Hey Myles. What brings you here?" Briar's mom asks me with a confused look, yet a little sad expression to.
"Briar wasn't at school today, so I got worried. What's wrong?" I ask. "Oh, well. It's her dad." She says and then starts to cry. "Oh no, I'm so sorry, I didn't know." I say, pulling her into a hug. Good job Myles, you made the love of your life's mom cry. After a few sekonds she pull away, "Thank you Myles, I've always liked you." She says with a little smile. And when she says that, I just feel so warm inside. Atleast her mom is on my site. "Briar is in her room. I'm sorry but I have to go ti the hospital. But see you." She says and waves at me, before getting into her car, leaving me in the doorway. "Mom?" I hear a little voice from inside. I quickly walk into the livingroom, where I find Briar standing, with red cheeks and puffy eyes. Oh no, I hate seeing her like this. When she sees me she gets a little shock. "Did my mom just left?" She asks. "Yeah, she went to the hospital." When I say that, she burst into tears. I walk over to her, before wrapping my arms around her. "I'm so sorry Bri, but just remember, I'm here for you." I wisper into her ear, softly rubbing her back up and down. "Why?" A little voice asks. "Because I was worried about you. And I hate seeing you like this." She pulls away and looks up at me, "You do?" "Of course I do!" I say, how could she even think that. But I guess she's very vornureble right now. And I totally understand that. "Thank you." She says, before laying her head against my chest. I can feel my heart starts to beat faster and faster, just as when I took her to that basement at the school. "Everything for my Babygirl." I wisper against her head, before kissing her forehead. I see a little smile apear on her face, yes, that's a good thing right.

After we have been standing like this for a while we pull away, and I go make is some tea, while Briar picks a movie we can watch.

Briar

I'm so greatfull that Myles is here. I guess that kinda means that we are friends again. I've missed him.

"So what are we watching?" He asks, walking into the livingroom with two cups of tea. "Drown to dark." I say, because I know that we both really like that movie. "Good choise." He says, giving me this smile, that just makes me wanna kiss him so bad. I look up when he sits down next to me, trying to catch his eyes. "Hey?" He says with a little smile, when he sees that I'm staring at him. But soon he finds my eyes to, and then we are just silent. "So wich tea did you make?" I say breaking the silence, looking at the teo cups. "Ehm, I don't know." He say scratching his neck, "Oh that's so cute." I say, wait what, did I say that out loud? He looks at me with a smirk, "You just said I was cute?" Yep, I definetly said it out loud, good job Briar. "Ehm... No." I say quiet, looking at my hands. "Yeah you did!" He says with a teasy voice. "You think I'm cute?" He asks. What do I answer to that. I don't say anything, but I can feel my cheeks. "You do!" He chuckles, getting a little closer, giving me a teasy look, "Well I guess you'r pretty cute to." What! Did he just say I'm cute. Yeah he did! "Aww, you said I'm cute!" Now it's my turn to tease him, and his turn at getting red. "Well thanks." I say, with a little laugh. "Yea, yea, let's just watch the movie." He says, turning on the TV. "Good idea." I say, while taking a little sip of my tea. I lean back in the couch, while Myles is half laying down next to me. But still not close enough.

Mabye it wasn't the best idea, to watch a movie that I have seen so many times. It really give me some time to think of my dad. What if he wont make it? I can't loose my dad. I love him! I can feel tears startong to run down my cheeks. I quickly wipe them away with my hand. "Bri?" He asks sounding pretty worried. "Just my dad, I'm so scared." I say and let a couple more tears out. "Oh B, come here." He says pulling me really close to him, wich couse me to half lay on top op him. But I don't care, I feel protected. He wraps hos arms around me, and kisses my forehead. "You can fall asleep if you want to. I'll still be here when you wake up." He says. He's so sweet. "Mylo?" "Mhh?" "I love you." On no, that just slipped out. Please say you didn't hear. But he did, because he quickly sits up and look at me, "I mean like a friend or a brother." I lie. "Oh, good." He says, well now I know where he stands. We then lay down again. "Bri?" He wispers into my hair. "Mhh?" "I love you to." He says, squizing my arm. Ugh, I just wosh that he meant it the same way, I meant what I said.

Myles

She sees me as a brother, ouch that hurt. I wish she loved me, just like I love her. But I guess not. I just have to wait. I can slowly feel her snughle up to me, and it's just the best. I love being this close to Briar. Soon we both drift to sleep...
