Wow... I havn't updated this book in about two weeks. That's really unlike me😅
But anyways, here ya go with a little Bryles one shot...
Myles' POV:
"Come on," I say, trying not to look down, as I probably would get terrified, "we're almost there."
I hear a little laugh from beneath me, causing me to sigh. Well if she isn't exhausted, I see no reason why I would be. Or at least no reason to why I would show it. I don't want her to think I'm weak in any way, which I'm not. Except my fear of heights, which may sound stupid at this exact moment.
You see I live in a house pretty much near nothing. Far away from everything. Far away from the city, far away from the mall, far away from the school and far away from Briar. But she still comes to visit once in a while. Not too often though, mostly I'm at her house, or else we're just hanging in the city.
But there are good things about living countryside. It's quiet and peaceful, not to mention very beautiful, and last but not least the beach.
I love the beach. Well I probably love it mainly cause of this treehouse.
It's very far above the ground, so I've never actually been here. I've always wanted to though.
But today, as Briar was stopping by, I thought that I would introduce her to my sweet spot. Or my future sweet spot. Our future sweet spot.
"How far till we get there?" She asks, as I look up. I honestly don't know how far up we are, cause as I said before, I'm too scared to look down. "Ehm about two meters," I reply, trying not to moan in exhaustion.
To try and not think about how I would most likely die, if I fell from this height, I start to think about Briar. She is a very good distraction for me.
You see Briar and I met at fall about a year and a half ago. She joined the school I was at when we were both 15. Now we're 16.
I honestly feel like I've known her for more than just a year.
We were friends from the beginning, as we had the same classes and took the same bus home, even though I of course had a way longer ride.
It's only a few months ago, we really started to hang out. I mean talking daily. After school, at her house, at the mall, doing homework together and even FaceTiming when we were bored. Sadly enough we kinda kept it on the down low.
At our school, it's not exactly normal to be friends across the genders. You would either hang out with your guy friends, or you would be with your girlfriend.
We practically weren't allowed to be friends. We just became friends anyways.
The people who knew about our friendship said that it was a bad idea. That we were gonna fall for each other and then get hurt. Even my family said that.
Back then I thought it was stupid, but bow I'm kinda starting to realise, that mabye they were right.
This is hard. Having a girl friend who can't become your girlfriend, and on top of that you can't tell anyone that she is your friend, cause to them she can only possibly be a girlfriend.
God sometimes I really hate high school life. Well most of the time to be honest. High school straight up sucks. Everyone judging everyone for everything they do.
My thoughts suddenly get interrupted, by me not being able to grap onto more steps of the rope ladder.
"We're here!" I announce, allowing myself to sigh in relief. Finally, to be honest I didn't think that I would ever make it this high. I guess I underestimated myself.
Briar says that I do that a lot. She says that I'm way more talented than I think I am. Even the one time we went to a party with some friends. She kept on insisting that my dance moves were great, even though I knew I looked like a complete idiot.
As I made my way onto the platform, I turn around extending my hand. She quickly graps it, letting me pull her gently up next to me.
"Let's sit down," she smiles, climbing over to the edge of the platform, sitting with her legs hanging from the treehouse.
Is she crazy? Doesn't she know how easy it would be for me to just push her over the edge, and then it would be bye bye Briar? Not that I would ever do that. I just want her to be safe, I wouldn't be able to live with myself if anything happend to her.
