Forgotten Faces

Mia´s POV

I haven’t seen Brian and Matt in the last 2 days. I thought that would help me clear my head but it just didn’t. And only 5 days until the guys left for the beginning of the world tour.

I called Matt and let him know that I would like to talk to him.
I drove over to his house. I haven’t been here since the reunion.
He opened the door before I had the chance to knock. He hugged me and led me into his living room. He was playing Call of Duty but already logged out.
“You want something to drink? Some water or a Coke?”
“Yes, some water please.”He went to the kitchen and came back with two glasses of water.
We sat in silence for the next couple of minutes.
“You wanted to talk… so…” He looked at me.
“Yes, I thought I could clear my head during the last days but to be honest it didn’t work at all… and I don’t know where to begin.” I shook my head in resignation.
“Maybe I will just help you with the start. Mia…” He took my hands in his larger ones and looked me in the eye.
“Mia… you remember how good we were together not only 6 years ago I mean just the last couple of weeks. I really enjoyed the time with you. I am your friend and I will be your friend no matter what. But you must have noticed that my feelings for you grew stronger every day we spent in your apartment. And after the night in the club I couldn’t hide my feeling any longer… and I think you enjoyed it too. I know that you like being in my arms, is it not right?” I couldn’t help but nod my head. And he continued,
“I didn’t make any wrong moves towards you because you still had your hopes up for Brian but after more than a month he was still the stubborn man he always was and couldn’t overcome his ego. After this little incident when he found out about us what will he do when it is really some big issue you two have, can you count on him being always there for you after he threw it all away even in the beginning? I don’t want to talk bad about him, cause he is one of my best friend but… you must see the truth. I was always and will always be by your side if you choose me.”
I nearly had tears in my eyes when he looked at me. “I need to think about all that and need to talk to Brian as well. I will call you, ok?!”
It was lame I knew it. I wanted to make a decision and yet I was postponing the unavoidable again.
He looked at me with sadness in his eyes when I left his home and drove over to where Brian lived.

Brian´s POV

I heard a knock on my door. I went to open it and saw a small figure through the door.
I opened and saw to my surprise that it was Mia.

“Hi… do you have some time?” she smiled shyly at me.
I stepped out of the way and invited her in.
Thank god I tidied up the living room just a couple of minutes ago. So many empty bottles of beer, scotch and whiskey she would thing I had a party without inviting her. Which wasn’t the truth but my drinking got a little out of hand during the last let’s say weeks.

I motioned her to sit down while I grabbed us something to drink.
“So… how are you? Have you thought about coming with us on tour?!” I had asked her to come with us in a quiet moment when Matt wasn’t listening.
“I´m ok… I guess... A little confused. And yes, I thought about it but it wouldn’t be such a good idea to come with you. I mean I would love to see everything and spent more time with you… I mean with all the guys. But in a situation like this it’s not the right thing to do!”
“Did you make your decision? Can I do something or say something anything?!” I looked at her and she was looking so lost. I just wanted to kiss her and make the demons chasing her go away, the problem was these demons were me and Matt…
“No, I talked to Matt before I came here. And to be honest he made some good points. But I have to make this decision by heart and not with my head. The problem is that my heart still hurts… You may not wanna hear it but… Brian when you left me over this thing with Matt so many years ago… you broke my heart in so many pieces I still don’t know if they are all back in place. And if I give my heart to somebody I need to know that it is cherished. And that he will not just throw our love away at the next opportunity when it isn’t going his way.”
She took a deep breath, “Can you really promise me that you wouldn’t do that, Brian?”
I looked her in the eyes, “Babe, I love you. I never stopped. You will not believe me how much I hate myself for being this stupid idiot that wouldn’t realize what I had in you. I promise you from the bottom of my heart that I will never hurt you again.” I wanted to hug her to me but she resisted.
“And what if I tell you that I want to be with Matt, what would you do?”
“I honestly don’t know. Matt would still be my friend. But I would need time… I don’t really know.”
She stood up and went to the door without another word. “I need more time. I will call you. Bye.”
After that the door fell into its lock and I was alone again. Where was the Scotch again?
