That night I left work and met Miley at the mall and we walked to her aunt's house. It was a 10 minutes walk and she started talking about her family avoiding the subject until we were in a safer place.
When we got to her aunt's she made me feel comfortable and we went straight to the room. I sat on the bed and she set beside me.
"So, Miley tell me what happened." She started crying
"S-she bro-broke up with me for no- no reason" I couldn't believe what I was hearing they were perfect and in about two weeks they would be finally moving in together.
"How come? You were perfect for each other" But then I realized that I said something I shouldn't because she started to weep and sob a lot. After a little while she calmed down.
"Please can you help her understand I love her and I need her? After all we've been through a three-years relationship, the engagement. I even manage to get out of the country so my mom would stop complaining about it. She pretended to be someone else to visit me in England. It can't be over." Trying not to cry she was pleading and making me understand.
"Don't worry Miles she'll come to her senses. It's just a stupid break up. She'll come around in a couple days you'll see." Well that was all I could say I was sad for seeing her like that and I also was a fan of their thing so I guess I was shocked.
"Lils, I can't eat since it happened and I'm awful, she broke my heart, my soul, I love her so much and we were moving in together I was so happy. Tell me it isn't true, please"
I just kept listening and making her feel comfortable to talk, she had to let it all out. After two hours she decided it was time for us to sleep. She couldn't sleep alone so we shared a bed. I have shared a bed with my friends before, but I was uneasy about it. She split it with a bunch of pillows and covers which I thought it was weird but did it I thought because my body shape resembled her of Kayla since we were both skinny. And then she was sniffing the whole night and I was running my hand through her hair to make her relax.
I didn't sleep at all that night and she got up a few times to throw up. I also knew she was with some kind of diarrhea from the emotional shock. All I could think was how could Kayla do that to her. She was so sweet and beautiful and pure. I had to help her.
The morning after came and she was a little better. She had slept for a few hours but still wasn't eating, but I had to leave for work. She drew a map for me so I wouldn't get lost and made me promise that I would call her all afternoon. Which I did.
I had a chance to talk to Kayla that afternoon and all she said to me was "You don't know her, she can be an angel but she can also be the devil and I was not happy anymore. There's no way we're getting back together. I'm finishing college and moving away and I want to grow up. She's still a kid. She has to have somebody else."
"Well K, you only realize that she's young 5 years later?" She looked at me sadly.
"She has to come out to her family in her own terms, she loves her mom they're like that freaking 'Gilmore girls' TV show, but her mom doesn't accept her and I can't take her away from her family. Look at me Lilly, I'm 29. I really need to move on. It pains me too, I love her with every bone of my body, I do and you know that, but I can't be caught up in the middle and be the one she blames for taking her family away from her as she was doing already." After this lecture I nodded and looked for the door knob of her office.
"Too bad though. I'm sorry. I'm here for you if you ever want to talk about it." She nodded and I left the room.
The days went by quickly and I had a break from work. Miley was now looking like a corpse, all she did was cry and cry and throw up. She was sleepless for at least a week when she called me and invited me over to her house. I had been there once along with Kayla, Paula and Thammy. It was the day after her birthday but her mom wasn't there at the time she was traveling with her stepfather and her little brother. Today was going to be different.
Knowing how her mom didn't appreciate lesbians and remembering the girls thought I was on the team I dressed up myself in a girly girl outfit, a miniskirt and a tank top with flipflops. I hope her mom doesn't freak out on me.
To my surprise when she opened the door she wasn't crying.
"Hey there!"
"Hi." She said and gave me a hug. Soon enough the tears streamed down her face again.
"Hey pretty girl, don't cry." I said whipping away the tears "I'm here to keep you happy. Let's watch the movie."
We went to her video room, and I put the DVD on when I turned around I saw her checking me out but I blushed a little. I saw her smiling at me.
"Are you read to see 'The Princess Diaries'?" She kept smiling so I had to ask "What?"
"You're dressed up like a girl. Why is that?" I faked a hurt look.
"What am I some kind of weird genetic experiment?" And then frowned.
"Nooo, I mean, you're more of tomboyish girl and today you're cute." I smiled "Ok, wrong sentence, you're more feminine that's it." she explained herself one more time.
"Ok. I've got it." And smiled receiving a big smile back "Ready for the movie?" I said making my way towards the sofa.
"You got some lame movies at home huh?" I smiled.
"What can I say, I'm a child on the inside." Walking to the sofa and I made myself comfy.
We watched the movie then she invited me to see her bedroom. There was a bunch of trophies from sailing races she'd won back when she was a kid, and to my surprise a very girly room. And then she was back to the whining and crying and complaining. Her mother came a little later and she was very polite. I knew I had to be careful with her, Kayla had advised me of it, but I couldn't help but feel like she liked me.
"Miles, you need to eat something. C'mon just a slice of bread, please?" we were in the kitchen and I was trying to make her eat something, anything. She had lost more than 10 kilos during these two weeks.
"No Lilly I don't want to. What I want is Kayla back and she doesn't get that."
"Miles dear, give her some space. Try to move on. If you love her so much let her go, if its true love, she'll come back to you. Here, I made you a half sandwich. Now EAT it all, please!"
"Ok. I will but only the ham." I was happy at least she was eating something.
She ate it and we went upstairs to her room again. I looked at my cell phone and there were 4 missed calls from my friends and it was almost dark. I decided it was time to go.
"Miley I got to go. I live far from here and it's getting late"
"Lilly please, stay tonight. I can't sleep alone and mom is not very supportive of me."
"I dunno. Miles, she may not like it."
"Please." She said preparing the puppy dog face.
"Ok. But not the puppy dog face please."
We organized the room and I helped her to set up the spare bed. We made it so it seemed like one only bed. I let her speak her mind about Kayla once more. And man it was awful. Every time she talked to me about the plans, how she had hurt her I would begin to hate Kayla and I didn't want that. Later, when we finally got to bed she asked me to hold her hand to assure her that I wouldn't go away. I realized that she was crying again and during the night she got up and went to the bathroom to throw up for at least three times. I was helpless but I had to be strong. Every time she got back I would run one hand through her hair and hold her hand with the other. And I'll just feel her tremble from the crying.
"Miles, you're gonna be fine. You'll see"
That night I knew that I was beginning something different. I was being someone's rock and I had to be patient and strong. I also knew that would be the first of many nights I'll be sleeping over Miley's house and that somehow brought a warm feeling and a smile to my face. I just didn't know why.
Chapter 2. Done. Thank you for reading. Please review.
