Garrett's P.O.V.

Everything was fine. Perfectly fine, till the moment I saw her walk through that door. I had almost completely forgotten the mess I was with her. Until she came in through that door, it was like everything came back, and my mind was a mess once again.

She promised she wasn't going after my stupid brother, yet here we are less than two months later. They are having dinner with my parents. We all sat down, but I couldn't bare with the sight of Brinley sitting so lovingly beside George. So I kept my gaze down all the time.

Everything was going technically fine, until George said out loud they were dating. And in that moment I felt something indescribable, I wanted to punch him, I wanted to scream, to leave the room. But nothing happened, the truth is. I was hurt. The thought of Brinley being George's girlfriend hurt me.

Suddenly I heard the door close, I looked up to see Brinley and George weren't in the room anymore. Minutes later, George came back, giving me a deathly glare.

"This is all your fault!" He yelled before storming off to his room, my parents were still dumbfounded, and I was left confused as to what had just happened.  More like, where did Brinley go?

"I-I'll be back later." Without having anything left to say, I grabbed my keys and walked out. I was too focused on my mission of finding Brinley, making me completely forget about the existence of cars, forcing me to walk nowhere.

I hate myself for walking. And hour had passed before I finally saw a familiar female silhouette sitting on a bench at the park. Yes. It is her.

I walked closer, but each step I took reminded me of everything that had happened, making my blood boil in anger, nothing would've happened if she never talked to me in the first place.

"So you got what you wanted." I knew what I said was incorrect, but I couldn't help saying it, I just had to. Then I saw her face, full of tears, making me instantly regret what I had just said. I caused her his pain.

She yelled at  me, until no more words could leave her mouth. I didn't want this to happen, I wanted to keep telling myself it wasn't true, that she didn't want me anymore but in a matter of seconds we were close to each other and my heartbeat was getting faster. Then, her lips were on mines.

And at that moment, I lost it. Every drop of pride, every doubt, every insecurity. At that moment I realized all I wanted was Brinley and nothing else. They way she had said she liked me, she seemed so mad about it. I wish she would've said it in another situation.

Cold. That's how my lips felt after we had parted, I felt like I had lost something, making me anxious. I want that back. So on an impulsive act, this time it was me who locked our lips, quickly getting addicted to the feeling of having her close to me.

After a bit, our foreheads touched, both of us still processing what had just happened. No words were said, that kiss solved any problem we could've had.

"I... should go home." I heard her soft voice, she took a few steps back, wiping some remaining tears off her face, she started walking away, without giving me an opportunity to answer. Once again, I felt like I was letting go of a treasure I could never get back if I let it go. I have to run after it.

"I'll take you home." My hand intertwined with hers in an instant, and we started walking towards her house hand by hand. My heartbeat didn't slow for a second.

One side of me felt really stupid, how could I let myself fall for something so abstract and nonsense, but the other side of me, could only look at Brinley and admire everything about her.  Her quirks, her braveness, her talent, everything from head to toes. I hope I get to Cherish forever.

We didn't even realize we had arrived to her house, she released her hand from the grip, I looked at her, hoping she'd say something, but she never did. I tried to also say something but also nothing came out.

"Goodbye Garrett." She gave me a soft smile, and walked towards the door. Is that really it?

"O-okay, Brinley. See you tomorrow?" I spoke, hoping a positive answer from her, I really don't want to be away from her any longer. All she did was nod, before she went in.

A part of me wanted to run and kiss her once again, but that's not who I am. I better chill out a little, even though I know it will be hard.

I can't wait to see what will happen in the future, all the things we can do together. Wait.

How could I forget about it? How could I have forgotten I leave for Oxford in two weeks? The thought of leaving Brinley behind made me frown, the last thing I would want is to leave her after I had just gained her.

Maybe I can convince her to come with me. Yeah I'm sure she will understand. And then we'll both be together. And nothing will set us apart.
