My Life Does Suck Without You

Chapter One!

"But Nick We belong together." I cried, trying so hard not to cry.

"I just, I just can't do this anymore," He told me and one hot tear slid down my cheek.

And then the most serious relationship I had ever had in my life, ended. What was wrong with me? Was I not good enough? Did he not love me anymore? Did he not care anymore? What was the sudden change of heart? How could he do this to me, when just yesterday he told me he loved me more than life itself?

And then I just ran. I just lost control completely. Even after I heard Nick scream and yell my name, over and over again; I kept running. I ran and ran as far and as fast as I could. I needed to get away from him and that bench in the park. It was a sunny day, so I just ran all the way home. I didn't stop until I was in my room. And then, finally, I started sobbing on my floor. I had finally cracked.

For the first time in two years, my life completely and utterly sucked. And for the first time in my life, I didn't know what to do.

It had been a week since Nick and I had broken up. And as much as I loved him, I couldn't bring myself to call him. I couldn't call him to find out the real reason he had broken up with me. I still loved him; so much. But I just couldn't handle the stress. I really couldn't face him.

I lived right next store to the Grey family. Heck, mine and Nick's balcony's were right across from each others. We spent every night and every day together. We were never without each other. We were so in love. But everything was so messed up. Nick was amazing to me. All my friends and family knew it too. Every one of my friends envied the kind of love that me and Nick had together. He was sensitive and sensible. He was incredible. Nick Grey was my everything. My 24/7. And something or someone had gone and ruined everything. Fantastic.

"MILEY RAY GET DOWN HERE NOW!" My dad shouted from downstairs. What could I have possibly done now? My life this past week was a living hell as it was already.

I ran down the stairs and found my dad staring at the living room.

"Didn't I tell you to clean up around here?"

"Sorry daddy."

"Listen, Mi, I know you and Nick just broke up. But your strong, you need to get over it."

Ever since Jackson left us my dad wasn't the same. He never called me Smiley Miley anymore. He never told me what to do in a bad situation. He wasn't the same... And now he didn't know how to talk to his own daughter anymore?! He couldn't even be considerate that I just got dumped! By my boyfriend of over 2 years!

"Uhmm, okay dad. I'll start cleaning now." I told him, with sadness in my voice.

He left the room. He acted like nothing was wrong. But everything in my world was wrong now. My whole world got turned upside down. I started cleaning the living room. Then I cleaned the kitchen. The dishes were disgusting and probably 2 weeks old. I always had to do everything around the house now. It was always 'Miley do this,' and 'Miley do that.' I was an 17 year old being treated like I was 9 again. I missed Jackson, and he had been gone too long.

"Mi, why don't you call him. Tell him how you're feeling. I know you still like him." Lilly Truscott was sitting on my bed in my room. We were both on my bed, eating popcorn and watching re-runs of The Hills.

"Let's say I do still like him… it's not like I could or would call him. He probably hates me. He broke up with me, remember?" I said, thinking that she forgot. I took some more popcorn and shoved it into my mouth.

Lilly too took some popcorn from the bowl, chewed, and then swallowed.

"I know he broke up with you. But you could call him. And you could tell him that you're still crazy about him." Lilly was always trying to make everything better. But I just couldn't do it.

"I just can't." I whispered.

"I can see through that smile your faking Miley. It's been like that for the past week and a half. Don't try it on me. Every day for the past week and a half you've missed Nick like crazy. I can see it in your eyes."

Lilly always could. That was the one thing I hated about being best friends with her sometimes. She could see through my fake smile, and my fake laugh. Just like Nick could.

"So. I couldn't tell him I still liked him. I couldn't let myself do that."

"Why not?" She asked.

"I would just end up getting hurt again."

Joe Grey knocked on his brother, Nick's, door. When there was no reply, he opened the door and walked in.

"Nick, dude, when are you going to leave your room?" Joe asked his little brother.

Nick didn't respond. He just rolled over on his queen-sized bed. So he was now facing the wall, and not looking at Joe at all.

"You need to at least eat man. You haven't eaten in days."

"Who cares," Nick said finally talking.

"Maybe you and Miley taking a break was for the best. Maybe you two can still be friends. Maybe…"

Nick interrupted him, "Maybe you should shut up and leave Joe."

And that Joe did. He was done trying to get Nick to stop moping around. He had tried. He had tried for the past week and a half. If Nick didn't want to take his advice and listen to him, he didn't have to. Nick could figure things out for himself then. But what Joe didn't understand was why Nick was being such a jerk if he was the one that broke up with her. He didn't understand how Nick could just dump the girl he was head over heels about. They had been going out for 2 years, and Miley was like a little sister to Joe. Now they were both upset. And both hurt. Joe needed an explanation from one of them…
