I saw Nick Jonas standing over by the studio door. I knew I would have to work with him again, and I was excited. I had no clue how he would react.
We had both been upset over our break up. It was a hard decision on both our parts. We were young and careers took off. I had Hannah Montana and he had the Jonas Brothers. Our careers became our lives and love had to take the backseat. I was upset over the breakup. Heart broken actually. I never knew one person could reck me. I decided the best way to try to get over it was to write. So I did. I released the song 7 things. Which no question I had written about him and then he recently wrote a song called paranoid about me.
I'm not sure exactly what happened when he looked up at me and smiled before he opened the door for me. Relief was an understatement.
Hey Miley . He said non-chalantly
Hey Nick . I replied. How are you? How are Joe and Kevin? I'm guessing those two are running around here somewhere
He laughed. I had missed that laugh.
Yeah they are in the studio set already. Are you ready to be a friend for change?
Yes I am! I think it's a great idea!
I really did. Disney's friends for change was going to be a great project to be involved in. It encouraged Disney viewers to get involved in projects to help the envirorment.
Me too! It should be fun!
We walked to hair and make-up to get ready for our video shoot. It was just a commercial for Disney telling everyone about the great project.
After getting ready I found Joe and Kevin. I wasn't sure what they'd think of me. I had broken their brothers heart. I had been holding up a feud with them for so long. I recently decided it was silly. I had missed Nick, Joe and Kevin being in my life.
Hey Joe! Hey Kevin! What's up!
They looked in my direction and I was relieved when they came running up to me. Kevin and Joe picked me up hugging me and spinning me around!
Miley I'm so glad to see you again? How is everything? Joe asked
I'm pretty good! I'm working on my second album. Plus I have a new movie I'm working on called the last song.
That's great Miles! Kevin boasted
Yeah..it's pretty good. I smiled. How have you guys been?
Great! Our next album comes out soon! Lines, Vines and Trying Times. We are all very excited. This is our most personal album. Nick is still tinkering with one song though. He says it's missing something. Kevin replied
We all have that one song like that. I'm sure it's great though!
It really is Miley. Joe said
Joe, Nick, Kevin, Miley! The director called. It's time to get the show on the road!
Joe picked me up piggy back style like he use to and we raced Kevin to the set. We met nick there and shot the commercial.
After the shoot I walked back to get changed into normal clothes. I enjoy being dressed up but nothing is as cozy as a nice pair of dark washed jeans and a t-shirt. I took off all the make up and pulled my hair up in a pony tail and headed out to my car. On my way out I saw nick with his guitar headed to a studio. I was curious to see what he was working on. I decided I'd follow him. We winded through the studio lot until we got to a private recording booth. I'd been here a couple times with nick before. It was his private spot. It was the place he could relax and write. It was beautiful. It had an ocean view, nice soft furniture and all the equipment he could ever dream of. He sat down and started to strum out a melody on his guitar. It was lovely but evidently it didn't please him. He yelled in frustration.
Why can't I get this feeling out right! It's been two years and not a thing I write can explain what I feel
Then he looked and saw me.
Hey Nick..I'm sorry I followed you. I just missed this place a lot. The guitar part sounded really nice. Something new you are working on?
Yeah .. he said. It's something I've been working on for a while. It's supposed to go on our new album but I don't think it will be ready.
What's it about I asked.
Honestly? .. It's about us.
I was shocked. He still couldn't write about us like he wanted to. He still couldn't let his feelings for me go.
O .. I said. Can I hear what you have so far?
Sure…It won't hurt anything. It's called Before the Storm.
He sat at his white grand piano and started playing. Then he started singing. It was beautiful. He had tears in his eyes by the time he finished it.
It's still not quite right. He said softly. I don't know how to fix it. I want this song to explain everything. I've missed you Miley. I miss the old us. I want the old days back.
He missed me too ..
I guess all the things in his interviews he didn't mean. Maybe he still loved me. Maybe we could work this out. I knew I couldn't stand to be broken again though. Losing Nick was the second hardest thing I'd went through. Losing my grandfather..well .. it was awful. Nick ripped my heart out. I didn't believe in fairy tales anymore. This new possibility struck me hard. I was speechless. All I could do was hug him..and sit beside him on the piano bench.
Let's fix this song… together.
Maybe if we can fix this song… we could fix us? He questioned.
Well this is a good place to start I said.
