I opened my eyes just to see the shiny sunlight coming in from my window. I groaned as I pushed the covers off my body. It was 9:30 AM and I felt like doing something special. Something new. I got up and made my bed before my mom could walk into my room and burst out in anger. I walked to my bathroom and looked at the mirror. My hair was really pretty, even though I expected it to be really messy as always. I didn't care though, and I started to brush it with my pink hairbrush. After it looked pretty amazing, I walked to the sink and brushed my teeth. I slipped on shorts, and a red tank top. I looked at the time and it said "10: 15 AM". I smiled and said "Everyone must be awake by now!".
I grabbed my Blackberry and -as usual- logged on to Blackberry Messenger and started texting. Nick was online, and I greeted him with a nudge.
I always knew nudges scared him. I really don't know why they scare him, but he always warned me not to, or he would get really freaked out. I liked to tease him. I mean come on, we were best friends, then boyfriend-girlfriend, then best friends and now we're lost. So I have the right to tease him. Even though he is my best friend. It is a long story.
NicholasPwnsYo: MILEEEEY! DON'T NUDGE ME!
ShmileyThePrincess: Dude, I so got you!
NicholasPwnsYou: You are gonna pay for this!
ShmileyThePrincess: You sure, Nick?
NicholasPwnsYou: Yes, I am!
ShmileyThePrincess: Lets see about that! -Wink Wink- Hahaha! Anyway, are you upto anything, today?
NicholasPwnsYou: Uhh.. No.. Do you wanna do something?
ShmileyThePrincess: Of course! Where, when, and what time?
NicholasPwnsYou: Now.. Beach.. Tacos?
ShmileyThePrincess Alright! C ya then! Ttyl! 3
NichoasPwnsYou: Later!
I slipped my Blackberry into my pocket and headed to the beach. I heard music playing. The beach always has this morning party on Wednesday, for no reason. It was the summer vacation though, and that for sure was one main reason for celebration!
"Because your love, your love, your love, is my drug, your love your love your love… What you got boy is hard to find, I think about it all the time" I mumbled the words to Kesha's new song "Your Love Is My Drug" as I saw a familiar curly haired head. I walked over to Nick and pocked his shoulder. He turned around with a funny expression "A nudge on Blackberry Messenger, and a poke in real life. That's why I love you,"
I laughed and sat down next to him "At least I'm unexpected" He looked at me with a confused look "Huh?"
"You are one confused boy" I commented on his attitude as I saw his expression change for the 3rd time this morning "Is that a compliment?". I hit his shoulder playfully "Of course it is! Now lets get our little fingers to the yummy food". He laughed and nodded his head in agreement.
He was wearing Skinny Jeans and converse, and a blue t-shirt that said "I come with my own Background music". I looked at his outfit and pointed out to his shirt "Hey, I like your outfit!". He smiled and looked at me with his chocolate brown eyes "Thanks! You look great yourself".
I always had feelings for him since we broke up. I never stopped loving him. I didn't want to tell him because I didn't want to ruin our relationship, as in friends or not. And believe me, this has happened before.
I felt his hand hold mind as he pulled me towards the beach To-Go- shop. I sat down on the chairs near the counter and we both looked at each other and felt awkwardness. Why awkwardness? Our hands never let go. We let go of each other quickly and looked up to the lady who looked pretty generous. She was wearing the red uniform that said "May I Help You?" on the back and "Shop from To-Go" on the front. Her identity card was hanging from a little strap that hung on her neck. Her name was Cathy, and she was 36 years old. She had blond hair that was pulled up into a ponytail and she was very thin. She flashed a smile at both of us again and said "What may I get for you?" I looked at the menu and said "Well.. I was planning on tacos, but I'm going to have a hot dog now, please," She nodded in agreement and wrote my order down on a piece of paper, "And you young man?".
Nick looked at the menu and said "I'll have a hot dog too". The woman said "Okay, so two hot dogs.. Anything else? Drinks? Appetizers?".
Nick pointed at me and I nodded. He understood exactly what I meant since we both love Diet Coke. He politely said "2 Diet Coke please".
She flashed another smile and said "I'm Cathy, I will be serving you today. Your food will be ready in a few minutes". Of course I let my bubbly personality take over me and I quickly spoke out the words "I'm Miley. I'm 17, and I'm learning new things in life". I looked at Nick, which was a signal that meant 'Introduce yourself, goofball!'.
He nodded at my direction as he stated "I'm Nick, I'm 17 too, and I'm waiting for someone special to take over my life".
Cathy smiled and winked at me. It was awkward especially that Nick was right there. "Okay then. Nice meeting you too!". She nicely added and left to the kitchen to get our orders ready.
I looked down "Wow, that was awkward". Nick nodded. I was being dopey again and I hurt him this time "I mean US?Together? No way!". I felt his face expression change, and some water climb to the tip of his eye lids.
"We were together, you know? You think that ended or what?". He realized what he said. He also realized that he just made things more awkward.
"You know what, I'll talk to you later I guess," I felt him storm off his seat and he started walking away. Leaving me alone like last time we fought. Except last time, it was storming. By the time I realized what was going on, he had already walked a lot.
I ran after him as fast as I could. He was my best friend, first love, first kiss, and my closest guy friend. I couldn't let him slip through my fingers. I just can't.
I was wearing my slippery converse while I was running. I felt my head go backwards. I was slipping. I fell onto the floor. My arm started aching me with all power. I screamed and I burst out in tear. In that moment, I saw him look back. He gasped and ran over to me. He sat down next to me, and laid my head on his thigh. He brushed his hand through my hair.
"Miley, are you okay?". I saw the tears that where on the top of his eyelids, all over his red cheeks. He looked pretty down and he was even more worried about me. I nodded as I felt the pain of my arm. "I'm okay". He picked me up and carried me to his car. He put me down on the passenger seat and buckled me up. He ran quickly to the driver's seat, and I heart how hard he was stomping onto the floor, as his legged shaked while moving to the seat. He started the car and quickly drove to the hospital.
He signed in our names and they checked up on me. The doctor looked at my arm and said "It's nothing, it's just a really bad bruise. It'll be okay by tomorrow morning". The doctor reassured as and Nick and I sighed in relief. He held my hand and helped me up. He was still angry at me. I could feel it when he looks at me. I looked down and inhaled some more pain as he gave me a glare and shook hands with the doctor.
"Hopefully next time I see you, you will be better", hoped the doctor.
"Me too…" I continued to walk with Nick to the car. He was being quiet all the ride. He parked at his house and walked me to mine. We're next door neighbors so it was always so easy to communicate.
I felt our gazes on each other. I broke our gaze and looked out to the view of the beach in front of our houses. We were standing on my front porch. I questioned him with a nervous look "Nick?". He answered me with a cold tone "Yes, Miley?".
"Are you still mad at me?" I questioned him again.
"Nope.." He answered with a smile. Although I'm pretty sure it wasn't an actual smile.
"Okay then… I'll talk to you later?" I smiled back hoping to get a nice response.
"Mhm".. He nodded and squeezed the tip of my finger. "Love ya, Miles".
"Love you too!"
I opened the door and waved as I closed it again. He turned around and took about 10 steps to get to his room. He opened the window, and let in some fresh air. Our windows face each other, so sometimes in midnight when we have things on our mind, we just talk them out to each other. I opened my window too, but when I opened it, he was in the bathroom getting dressed. I turned on the T.V. and put it down to a low volume. I closed the curtains but kept the window open and slipped my Pjs on. I opened the curtains again and laid down on my bed. I logged onto Blackberry Messenger and found my best friend Demi online. Demi and Selena were my closest friends ever. Selena is Nick's sister, so she lived right next door. Demi was 4 houses away, so that's like one block away, so she wasn't that far either.
Selena was online but her status was set to busy. I logged on and Demi texted me.
