Brian’s POV

I didn’t know for what Iwaited but I knew I that I couldn’t help myself. Maybe the disappointed would win in the end, but still I stared at my door waiting for the doorbell to ring, for a knock, for a call… I had my phone in hand since the moment that Melinda told me she left work for “my party”.

I was glad I had her on my side finally. It had been a long way and long talks to finally get her to help me in all this. I could understand why she way skeptical she was Evie’s closest friend, but she had to see my point too, right?

And in the end she finally did, she promised me she would talk to Everly, try to give her a little insight on my part, but that it would all lead to the grand final I had planned now I didn’t know back then. I had hoped to hear from her sooner, to get a message, a freaking call, just something and if it only was to fucking yell at me for being the world’s biggest asshole, I would have taken everything, but she didn’t. She didn’t call, she didn’t write, just nothing, and wasn’t the silent treatment in the end the worst?

I could only think that the silence meant I didn’t mean anything to her, when it was so damn fucking wrong, she was everything to me, the world to me and I betrayed her, sure I didn’t know back then and still I hurt her when all I wanted was to protect.

And now I sat here waiting, waiting for nothing? It was 11 pm and still I didn’t hear anything from her, around midnight the hotel would close the rooms for private parties and Everly would have to leave, would she even think of me? Would she like the island idea, she once told me about? I thought it was the worlds saddest idea, but when I helped building it all up together with Val and Matt, I realized, it wasn’t sad at all, it was just a place for peace and quiet, a time for you to just be you and enjoy the things that made her happy, the only thing I had wanted to add to this island was another seat, with me on it, but I knew I shouldn’t…

These past month really had been hell on fucking earth, only a couple weeks ago I heard from Val that Everly had contacted her, told her she was still hurt, and that she would have thought better of her as a friend and that they would tell each other everything, Val had replied and after a couple more days they seemed to agree that Val fucked up, but would never do that to her again. I thought when Val told me about that I would receive a message soon, but I didn’t… I was still left waiting, that’s when the idea for her birthday came, I knew it probably was my last chance to convince her that I still wasn’t giving up, that I wasn’t the old Brian that she still thought I was, that she didn’t mean that much to me, god how could I convince her about the opposite…

My phone rang and I nearly dropped it, I quickly answered “Evie?”

“Shit, she still hasn’t showed?” Matt’s low voice grumbled into the phone.

“No, nothing… Maybe it wasn’t such a good idea…I just don’t know what else to do anymore. She won’t see me, she won’t talk to me, how can I convince her… to let me make it up to her, I’m losing hope, man?” I said and went back to the leaving room defeated.

“She didn’t… I know, Val stop it.. I can’t-” Matt said annoyed and I rolled my eyes “She is driving me nuts here-” The phone was handed towards Val and I heard Matt yell something about going outside.

“I cant believe it, she must come… at least she has to write you… This is so not her, I thought this was it to bring her to other thoughts and finally admit that she misses you, because I know she does” Val sighed and I felt a little hope blooming inside me. “She said she missed me?”

“No, not exactly, but I know how she felt about you before, and that cannot be gone. And if she has forgiven me and understood what we did, she knows it’s not your fault either, we meant it good. I think she understood, sorry Bri… I really thought-” She trailed off and I sighed. “Don’t worry, it’s okay. I just.. fuck, I hoped to see her… I will just, I’ll head to bed soon and think about everything again.” With that I hung up and stood up, I walked up to the door, opened it and looked outside, it was dark, no car was coming or going, just silence and darkness, just like I felt.

Maybe it wasn’t meant to be, maybe I really hurt her too much…if she would fucking talk to me, I could maybe explain, we could-

I closed the door and leaned against it, today wasn’t the right time anymore, I should get me a drink and then head to bed, maybe today I should let her be and start another try tomorrow, if I stood at her door, would she really send me away?

Everly’s POV

I parked a few houses away and stared out the window at Brian’s house. I got out and sighed, it was time, it had been time, but today it was the day or rather night where it had to happen.

I got out and was lost in my own thoughts, it was after midnight, and I wasn’t too sure if it really was a good idea to show up this late, but maybe he was waiting for me.

“Ah, we have been waiting for you Evie” A voice called from behind me and scared the hell out of me. I quickly turned around and saw Matt’s smiling face.

“Shit, what are you doing here at midnight? Running?” I frowned at his shorts and shirt drenched in sweat.

“Val was driving me crazy, had to get out, thank you for that, by the way” He winked at me. When he was only a few feet away he came towards me to hug me but I stepped backwards “You know, I am always for hugs, but smelling like other man’s sweat isn’t the first impression he should get of me, right?” I teased and Matt chuckled. “Good point”

“Do you think he is still up?” I chewed on my bottom lip.

“He’s been waiting for you, Everly”

I had been staying at the hotel until closing, enjoying my me-time and my visit at Brian’s house wasn’t entirely planned myself so with confusion, I titled my head at him. “He does?”

“Of course, Everly, you have no idea what you did to that man. I bet the door is even unlocked for you to go in without a call or a ring.”

“Really?!” I laughed softly, my cheeks heating. “It’s after midnight, are you really positive that I-” Matt nodded before I could finish and I smiled “Well, that makes me feel nice”

“I hate seeing my friend so torn up.” Matt said when I took a step forward I grimaced and turned back to him “Has it been that bad?” I asked quietly, feeling the answer in the long pause that Matt gave me.

“You are here now” Matt finally said, nodding towards Brian’s house “That’s all that matters” I smiled “Thank you”

Without another word I turned towards Brian’s house, my pulse was picking up as anticipation thrummed thought me.

It was mostly excitement – a pleasant buzz of heat that relaxed any tension in my body as I made my way up to the building. My heart pounding by the time I reached his door but I wasn’t nervous. I fact, I felt oddly at home.

And when I opened the door quietly and stepped inside, I immediately found Brian, my eyes settling on the profile of his shirtless body sitting at the edge of his couch, a guitar lying beside him, papers and a pen on his lap as he made notes. In just grey shorts, he was fucking stunning. He looked like a most beautiful man I would ever lay my eyes on. And the view only got better as he turned and let his gaze find me.It was surprise for all of a second but then he rose to his feet, turning that body to face me as a faint but joyous grin drifted onto his lips.

“Hi” I finally said. Brian didn’t answer, only watched as I came toward him, shedding my coat and my cardigan, slipping out of my ballet flats till I was in just a sweater and leggings as I stood before him, pushing him gently back down on his couch and climbing onto his lap. I felt the weight of the world expel from the sigh that escaped his lips and under my palms, I felt the rumble in his chest as he leaned his forehead against mine. For a moment we simply breathed together. But then he finally spoke and that voice I missed so badly flooded me with relief.

“I thought I knew what it was like to be happy to see you,” he murmured, his breath coating my lips. “But I don’t think I really knew till now.”
