Noah slowly walked downstairs after a moment. Tears stung the males eyes, but he didn't let them fall down his face. When he saw the two, he froze a little. He swallowed down his nervousness |

Miles turned around, confused. "I've loved you for four years." He continued, despite the uncertain expression on Miles' face. "Ever since that night when you came over to my house at two in the morning because I couldn't figure out how to make my calculus assignment submit online. You were sitting on the edge of my bed, and when you finally got the program to go through, we both laid down on and talked about how stupid the website was. We were kids, and I didn't know what I was feeling. I'm still not sure, but I know now that that was the night I fell in love with you. You gave up sleep over something that stupid, and you didn't even complain. You just did it because i needed you to, no questions asked. You put my needs above yours, and I never understood why until recently." He paused briefly, taking two steps forward. "Be angry at me all you want- I would be, too. I shouldn't have freaked out on you for the smoking." He apologized, maintaining eye contact as he spoke. "But I don't want to lose you. I don't know what the future holds, but I can't imagine my life without you in it, so please.. stay.?" Feel free to have Noah pop in if you want! ^^ )) |

Miles wasn't sure where he was going, or what he was doing, but before he knew it, he was on the highway driving as fast as the engine would let him. It was late, so it was fairly empty. He didn't care that he was being wreckless. He just didn't care anymore. Something had been set off inside of him when he'd spoken to the two of them, and it made him feel so much lighter now that it was gone. He sat on the edge of the railing, staring off into the darkness of the night. He'd been driving for an hour and a half now, and he wasn't even sure where he was anymore. There was a pack of cigarettes in his hand, along with a bottle of pills he'd been saving for a rainy day, but he hadn't opened either of them. He'd considered using them, sure, but for some reason.. he just didn't feel like it. He pulled out his phone , which was nearly out of battery, and he opened his messages. Astrid's contact was always the one at the top of the list, so it was easy to find. He pressed record. Astrid sat on the sofa quietly. He was wrapped up in a blanket, staring off into space. Suddenly, he felt his phone buzz in his pocket, and he scrambled to grab it upon seeing Miles' name. He pressed play on the message almost immediately. "Hey, Astrid. I'm out in the middle of nowhere, just sitting on the edge of the highway by a field. It's real pretty out here." Miles' pre-recorded voice paused. "You're probably worried right now, huh? Y'know, I considered calling, but I knew if I did that, you'd just cut me off and tell me to come back. You've got a nasty habit of interrupting people. I used to think it was funny, but right now… I dunno. I coulda texted, but my phone's about out of battery, and this was just easier." The sounds of the breeze and some bugs was audible in the recording. "I've just been out here thinking, tryna figure out what to do next. Truth is, I'm not really sure what I should do. I think that's okay." Miles shifted a little, and it caused the audio to go out for a second. "We've known each other our whole lives. Ever since your mom died, I promised myself I'd take care of you, and I've done my best, but I see now that that was really unfair to me. I was a kid, too, y'know. When my dad went to jail, I had to take care of my family, too, so that Momma wouldn't have to give us up to foster care. It's taken me a while to realize it, but our lives have been really fucked up so far." He seemed stumped for words, but kept going. "We're both pretty sad people." He chuckled halfheartedly. "I look out for you, and you look out for me. Nothing really bad can happen as long as we have each other." He paused. "I used to say that to you a lot when we were kids. We liked to pretend that it was true; that so long as we stuck together, things would be alright" He took a breath. "-but it wasn't. Bad things still happened, and we were both still just as miserable. I'm not upset that any of it happened. I wouldn't trade what we had for anything in the world… But I think you know deep down that this was never meant to be. We stuck together because we had to, and we don't have to anymore." Astrid wasn't even sure what to think as he listened. "You cant keep holding onto something that was never meant to be there in the first place. You love me, but not for the reasons you should. You look at me and you see a place to hide, but when you look at him.. it's like I can see constellations in your eyes. That's what love looks like," He paused. "And it's not what we have." There was no sadness in his voice. In fact, he sounded relieved, or maybe even calm. "He looks at you like that, too. You're just too blind to see it. I know you want to believe that the three of us could make things work, but I don't want to make it work. I just wanna be able to go and figure things out for myself, without worrying about being the middle man for you two." Astrid's hands were shaking violently, now. "I want you to be happy, so go be happy without me. Because for some reason," There was a long pause. "I feel okay right now." That was the last thing Miles said before the audio message ended, and Astrid's phone turned off. Astrid hated every single thing Miles had said, because he was right. And although he hated to hear how calm Miles sounded for once, he couldn't be angry. What angered him, though, was the fact that he didn't feel sad. There was no ache in his heart, only a sense of calm and exhaustion. Part of him hoped that Miles would come back, and part of him knew he never would. Because wherever he was right now, he was a thousand times happier than he ever would have been. And with that, Astrid took a deep breath. He thought he might be sad, but no. After all, nothing lasts forever, and he finally let it go. |
