Meet Me Halfway – A Niley Story
Sequel to Haunting Memories
True love begins when nothing is looked for in return - Antoine De Saint-Exupery
"I just wanted to thank you... show you just how grateful I am for everything you've done for me over the years. For the way you stood by me..." She told him seriously as she wrapped her arms loosely around his neck.
"I didn't do anything, babe. It was all you really." He smiled.
"I'm serious here!" She huffed playfully.
"So am I." He responded with yet another smile.
"Nick!!" She whined.
"You know I don't want you to thank me! I don't want anything in return. I don't even know what I did... but I'll just take your word for it and believe that what I did was an exploit!" He joked. "Sorry." He smiled sheepishly after receiving an annoyed look from his lover. "I just want to see that beautiful smile every time I see you." He kissed her lips lovingly.
A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature
To stop speech when words become superfluous - Ingrid Bergman
He crashed his lips on hers in an attempt to silence her, cutting off her rambling.
"You talk too much, babe." Nick smirked.
In dreams and in love there are no impossibilities - Janos Arany
"When did we ever do anything normal, like everybody else does?" She asked, a hint of sarcasm in her tone. Nick chuckled as he wrapped his arms around her. Gosh how much he loved this girl...
Love is that condition in which
The happiness of another person
Is essential to your own. - Robert A. Heinlein, Stranger in a Strange Land
He smiled when he realised Miley was giggling at his lack of words. It had been so long since he had heard her laugh or giggle. He didn't move his gaze off her and found that her smile had reached her eyes, just like the real Miley smiles did. That's when he realised his ears had been aching to hear the sound of her giggle and laugh just like his eyes had been aching to see a beautiful smile on her maturing face.
To love a person is to learn the song
That is in their heart,
And to sing it to them
When they have forgotten.
"I know you love me. I have witnessed it, I have felt it. I saw it in your eyes, the way you said my name, the way you looked at me, the way you used to say I love you... The way your smile reached your eyes whenever you smiled at me. I have seen it all and sometimes I still do."
"And you're hurting right now because you know I'm right. You know you miss me and you know we can't live without each other." He added, his eyes glistening with tears.
True writers don't write
Their thoughts with a pen...
They release the ink that flows
From within their heart.
"Whoa..." Miley stared at the beautiful cursive handwriting covering the paper she was holding in between her fingers. She was speechless.
"You like it?" Nick inquired hesitantly, unsure if her reaction was positive or negative.
"It's really beautiful, Nick... I knew you were an amazing song writer but this is just... whoa... you just summarised all what I feel for you in one song... How did you do that?" She looked at him in aw, obviously stunned by the song he had written.
"Well I just wrote what I felt." He smiled, clasping her hand over his heart. "It all came from here."
Love asks me no questions,
And gives me endless support... - William Shakespeare
Nick rushed over to the sobbing girl in the corner of the room, gathering her in his arms as she let the emotions pour out of her.
"Shhh..." He consoled her with his presence, his warm body embracing hers in a tight hug. "Don't cry, baby girl..." He soothed, his heart aching at the sight of the salty tears flooding her rosy cheeks. Miley's sobs slowly subsided and a small smile appeared on her lips when she realised that he hadn't even asked her what was wrong, he hadn't asked what had made her cry in the first place... he was just there to hold her, remind her that he was there when she needed him, giving her his whole support no questions asked. And that was one of the many things she loved about him. He always gave her space even if she didn't want it... because that was the kind of love and respect he had for her.
We were two and had but one heart. - Francois Villon
His heart had been ripped into two and she had taken half of it with her, leaving him with the agony and pain of separation.
Grabbing the guitar in the corner, he threw it across the room hoping his shattered heart would hurt less at the sight of the damaged guitar.
Love is an act of endless forgiveness - Peter Ustinov
"I'm sorry..." Nick heard Miley whimper from his arms. His eyes widened, confusion spreading over his flawless features. He sighed in relief as he realised she was dreaming. He cradled her in his arm, pulling her closer to his heart. Oh how could love be so delightful and so hurtful at the same time?
"Forgive me...!" He heard another whimper escape her lips as she shifted in the bed. He could only imagine what she was dreaming about. He got a hold of the back of her neck and pulled her head further into his chest, hoping to calm her. She whimpered again but soon relaxed again in his arms, obviously slipping deeper into unconsciousness.
You will never know true happiness
until you have truly loved,
and you will never understand
what pain really is
until you have lost it.
"I'm not letting you go a second time! Don't you think I deserve an explanation? The truth?"
"Will you stop being so selfish for once in your life?" She yelled.
"Me selfish?" Nick chuckled disbelievingly. "You gotta be kidding." He snapped.
"Why can't you just respect my wishes and leave me alone?" She yelled, releasing all the emotions that she had bottled up for so long.
Real love stories never have endings. -- Richard Bach
"I want you to tell me you love me..." Nick spoke softly as he took a few steps, moving closer to Miley.
"I do love you..." She whispered while closing her eyes. She didn't dare look into the beautiful brown orbs that made her melt every time she looked into them.
"Tell me you miss me..." He demanded quietly, grazing her cheek with his fingers. She shook her head and turned away from him.
"I c-can't." She stood near the large window, looking out into the front yard. How could she ruin his career, his life? No, she couldn't. She loved him way too much to put her own needs before his.
"What happened to being honest?" Nick asked, breaking the silence that had settled around them.
"I j-just c-can't do this right now." Miley's voice shook as she spoke quietly, avoiding his gaze.
"Miley!" Nick's voice had become stern but she ignored it and remained silent. "Can't you be up front with me?" His voice was laced with frustration and desperation.
...............
"I don't have a choice. You do!"
"What kind of a choice is that?" Nick asked her in disbelief.
"Live your dream! Play music, do what you love!" She pleaded with him.
"And turn my back on you? Not gonna happen." He responded stubbornly.
"Nick... Just please... don't fight me on this!" She pleaded again but in vain.
"Miley you're not going to make this decision for me... Don't even try to argue!"
The courses of true love never did run smooth. - William Shakespeare
Unfortunately fairytales and epic love stories do not come without their share of drama... In fact every trying time was just another way for Nick and Miley to prove how much they truly loved each other and every obstacle they overcame together only served to strengthen their love.
Love does not die easily.
It is a living thing.
It thrives in the face
of all life's hazards,
save one--neglect.
- James Bryden
True love doesn't have a happy ending
Because true love doesn't have an ending.
Coming in December.

Hello my lovely readers!! I finally found the time and ideas to create a trailer/preview type thing for Meet Me Halfway.
This is the first trailer I've ever done and it took me a while to come up with it... I would love you guys to give me feedback on it!! Is it really weird the way I put quotes and a scene of the story under? I know it's just bits and pieces of the story, doesn't really make sense right now but I promise it will soon :D. What do you think? Please let me know!!!
xoxo
