This is my first fanfic…was inspired after hours and hours of reading when I should've been studying for midyears (haha). Anyways, let me know what you think!
Too Many Tears to Drown Them Out---Chapter 1
The Way We Were
Miley's POV
I could feel his eyes on me, his presence in the room, even without looking at him. I turned around and smiled slyly at him. "Soo, what do you want to do your 16th birthday? It's coming up soon." I walked over to him and settled myself in his lap. I could feel all my stress melt away. He had that effect on me.
"The only I want is to be with you, Kevin, Joe, Lily, and Oliver. Take that and do with it what you will."
I giggled. "You are going to have the best eighteenth birthday ever. But I won't do anything until you get your license. That way we can have transportation."
I looked at him, and a little frown appeared on his face. "Nick, baby, what are you worried about?" I leaned in to kiss him slowly. The kiss deepened, and soon we were laying on the coach, passionately making out.
He was reaching at my bra and I on his shirt when we heard the door crack open.
"Shit! Miles, go behind the couch. Quick!" I dove behind the couch and he covered me up. We looked at each other, and couldn't stop laughing. Our laughter was soon interrupted.
"Put some clothes on Miley! Now Nick, I loooove you. So you can keep yours off." Nick stood up and threw his shirt at Joe.
"Shut up man! Don't be an ass." I had managed to put my shirt back on, and I snaked my arms around Nick's waist.
"Hello Joe. Great to see you too. Where's Lilly these days?"
He mumbled to the floor, "Grounded. For two weeks."
"And why is that Joseph?"
"Because her mom walked in on us making out. With our shirts off."
"Wow. That really sucks. No wonder you have nothing better to do than walk around spying on Nick and I." I winked at him, grabbed a laughing Nick, and walked out the door.
Joe was left by himself blushing furiously.
Nick's POV
As we sat on the beach, I couldn't help but stare at Miley. God she was beautiful. She looked over at me and smiled. Placing her head on my chest, we just stared out in silence.
" I love you so much Miley. I don't even know what I would do without you. That's why for my birthday, I want to give you something."
"Nick, I know this isn't your first birthday. Let me just remind you, traditionally I should be giving you something." She drawled sarcastically, a smile on her face the entire time.
"You would be, trust me. You would be giving me the best birthday present ever." I took a deep breath and pulled a little black box. "No before you get all excited, I'm not asking you to marry me."
She looked at me quizzically, "What's going on hun?"
I pulled the ring out of the box. It was silver, with a single carat diamond embedded into the band. On one side of the diamond it said Miley, and on the other Nick. On the inside of the ring I had the message "I love you. Promise me?" engraved into the precious metal.
"Miley, I have loved you so much for the past three years. You are my life. I meant it when I said I wouldn't know what to do without you. I want you to take this ring, not as a proposal, but as a promise that one day, we'll get to that place. Like I said before, you would be giving me the best birthday present ever."
Miley had tears in her eyes, and she slowly nodded her head, and her voice started to crack when she began to talk. "Nick, of course I will. You mean the world to me baby, and this does to."
I breathed a sigh of relief, and placed it on her left hand. She laughed a little to herself.
"So this is what you were all worried about? Silly Nick, you should've known that I would've done anything for this. Plus, we can think of it as my own purity ring." She winked at me, and I couldn't stop smiling as the space between our lips closed and once again we were kissing.
