Briar POV
I stand there, frozen. I can't believe this is happening. How could he do this to me? Okay Briar, lets not jump to any conclusions. Shelby probably forced Myles to do this. I need to figure this out.
I walk over to them and see them completely making out. Myles doesn't even seem to be pulling away. What the fuck?
"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?!" I scream at them.
They don't pull away. Instead they go at it harder and more passionately. The way Myles and I used to make out. But he hasn't touched me like that in weeks. Has he gone off me? Does he have feelings for Shelby?
I can't handle this anymore. I am about to run away and hide in the bathroom, but then I realise how weak that'll make me look. This is what Shelby wants. So instead I break them apart and push Shelby to the floor. It's time to end this. It's time to fight her.
I punch her in the face twice, and she falls back to the ground, holding her face in pain. I feel bad for what I am doing to her, but she deserves everything that she gets. I kick her really hard in the stomach. But suddenly I feel someone pulling me off her.
It's the squad. I thought they wanted me to do this to her. I thought we agreed that fighting her would be the best and easiest way to get rid of her. I struggle my way out of their grip but the moment I escape, Myles lifts me up and carries me away.
Tears start rolling down my cheeks and I can't stop them. This is humiliating. I feel sick to the stomach. Alex was right, nothing hurts more than being betrayed by the one person you never thought would hurt you.
"Briar, I am so sorry. Shelby kissed me and then I ... " He starts, but I cut him off.
"But you didn't pull away, Myles." I accuse him. "You kissed her back, passionately. I saw everything. I saw how much you liked the kiss. I saw how you didn't even want to pull away. I saw how you kissed her more intensely when I told you to stop."
"Bri, please." Myles pleads with me.
"Do not call me 'Bri'. It's Briar to you." I tell him. "And don't lie to me either. Look me in the eye and tell me you don't have feelings for Shelby."
"Briar, I love you. You know that." Myles says, avoiding eye contact.
"LOOK ME IN THE EYE." I demand.
"I don't have feelings for her, I love you. It's always been you, B." Myles tells me, finally looking me in the eye.
"Then why didn't you pull away, Myles?" I ask him, more gently this time. "Tell me the truth, that way we can try and work this out."
"I ... honestly I kind of enjoyed the kiss." Myles tells me, looking down in shame.
"You haven't touched me in weeks, Mylo. If you wanted to kiss someone, you could've kissed me." I tell him, I am so hurt by this right now.
Dring ring
The bell rings, in the exact wrong moment. I need to know why he hasn't touched me. We used to be inseparable. We used to make out in the Janitors Closet. We used to hug every time we saw each other. We used to go on walks down the beach, hand in hand. We have never had sex, but things were good. But now we don't even touch each other in the slightest. The most we have done in the last month, was when Alex jumped off the cliff and we hugged for a second. This is not how it's supposed to be.
"I guess we should go to class." Myles says, standing up.
"Yeah, but this conversation isn't over, Myles." I say.
"At lunch we should meet up here. We can talk things over then." Myles suggests, and I nod. "I love you, Bri. Don't ever forget that."
"I love you too." I say.
I walk to my first class, quickly. I happen to have Spanish. I love Spanish, its so fun. This might help me get my mind of Shelby and Myles kissing.
