tragical romance | bryles ♡

chapter twenty - "do you really feel that way?"

after hearing briars response about how i felt like something was holding me back.. it was very clear that what i thought was mutual was one sided.

how could i be so dumb? after all of these years, all of these memories we have.. all of the times she hated me.. why know would i think that she could possibly love me?

i just tried to forget about it as i waited in the airport, my plane was laid over so i was stuck there for another few hours. it's terrible, i honestly just want to get out of here right now.

after an hour or two of waiting i was approached by a young woman, "myles?" she looked at me. she sounded so familiar.. wait, is that hanna?

"hanna? from mrs andrews class?" i sat up in my chair, smiling as she nodded.

"but this isn't a happy situation," she sat down beside me.

"what's going on?" i looked at her, very confused.

"i can't believe you're just going to leave briar like that!"

"woah.. what do you mean?"

"after the last few days you've spent together and your whole relationship for that matter! you two are basically soulmates but you're going to marry some rando that your parents think are good for you? let me tell you who's good for you myles, briar is," she took a deep breath, "i'm sorry but after you callously ignored briars letter to you, after she poured her heart out to you is just so disgusting. how can you live with yourself?"

"what letter hanna?" i looked at her, shocked and confused, "what letter."

"the letter that briar wrote for you?"

"i never got a letter from briar?"

she looked at me confused, "what do you mean? she told me that she left it in your mailbox last night?"

i instantly got up and ran out of the airport. i got ahold a taxi, got in and paid them extra to speed to my house. once i got there, i got out and looked in our mailbox.. and there it was.

the letter from briar. i opened it and read it about a million times over.. briar loves me.. i thought to myself. i just sat there starring at it for a while in disbelief about what is said.. i needed to respond. i couldn't just ignore her letter like that? i made my way inside and grabbed the nearest pen and paper i could find then i begun writing.

oh my dear, sweet briar anne..
i can't believe all of the things you said, i'm in shock honestly. this whole time i thought the feelings weren't mutual but i guess they were. and perhaps they always have been? briar.. you are truly a gift given to this world, it doesn't deserve you. you're so kind, sweet, helpful and caring.. gosh the world would suck without you. not to mention you're so smart.. so fucking smart. i was in school longer than you but back in grade ten you were capable of doing way more stuff than me and even the teacher.. you're just so impressive and that's one of the many things i love about you. i also love your gorgeous smile - how it's so contagious that it could even make the saddest person on earth smile, or those beautiful eyes. damn. those eyes. i cant tell you the countless of times i got lost in your big, beautiful sky blue eyes. i think about them all of the time.. as well as your smile and your perfect hair, and your stunning body. i just wish that night that we kissed, that we were sober. i wish i could remember every moment about that because i'm afraid that i lost my chance and that i'll never get it back again. but i guess what i'm trying to say is that.. i love you too. i always have and i always will. no matter what obstacles life throws in my direction.. i always go back to you. we always find each other every single time and if that's not fate telling us that we are meant to be, then i don't know what it is.
i love you. you will always be my briar. my briar anne.
love, myles.
