**Hey guys! Here's a NILEY story. I couldn't resist with all of the buzz on them lately (Plus their insane cuteness!), so here goes!
Today was going to be special. She could feel it. Since the moment she woke up, to drying herself off after her shower, to pouring her cheerios into a bowl- she knew something out of the ordinary was going to take place today. If only she knew what exactly was going to happen…
As Miley sat drumming her fingers upon the firm black surface of her father's car, her thoughts involuntarily drifted to him. As she twirled her hair for what seemed like the tenth time, she began to wonder if her dad was ever going to come outside. It was nearly ten minutes past the time she was supposed to be at the shoot, but she knew how the crew liked her to be early. Today she was shooting a music video for the song Send It On, which was another one of those advertising devices supporting Disney's Friends For Change organization. She was nervous and even hesitant to show up, but being the professional and strong young woman she opted to be- acted with class.
Finally, her dad came outside ready to go. It only took him half an hour!
"Good morning Daddy. Nice of you to join me…" Miley said jokingly.
"I'm sorry darlin'. You know what this humidity does to my hair." Billy Ray said in a completely serious tone which to anyone else would sound slightly odd considering he had a very heavy southern accent (with a slight twang-ness to it), but to Miley, he was and always would be just daddy. She loved everything about him to the point that any sixteen year old girl possibly can. She always hoped she'd find a man someday who possessed similar qualities as he, but then again we can all dream ladies, right?
The car ride to the set was rather quiet but lacked the awkward uneasiness that'd be expected. Bill Ray sensed Miley's apprehension, so he let her sit in silence. While gazing out of the car window, she seemed to be looking at the world and wondering why it was that she felt so ill at ease. She wasn't looking at the places in front of her, but more so at the things she hadn't yet seen, and where she aspires to one day go. Instead of giving her the 20 questions, Billy Ray drove as if nothing were wrong, tapping the dashboard to an imaginary beat taking place in his mind and occasionally humming a meaningless tune. Miley sat silently smiling to herself. What a witty man.
As they pulled into the large open field located next to Disney studios, Miley could see the giant white tents set up for preparation. Hair and make-up was her favorite part of any sort of job she undertook. Getting made up in a chair with bunches of people adding their own personal touches to make her look as if she were the model of perfection was always flattering, not to mention every young woman's dream. As she stepped out of the car Demi and Selena came running up to her, bellowing their hellos and current status' while undoubtedly exchanging giggles here and there. The three friends walked in unison to the big white tents where Miley spotted the Jonas Brothers. And that's when it happened. Those eyes that she'll never forget significantly locked with hers.
Hey.
Her heart dropped, and then started pounding profusely as she struggled to make it stop. She never quite understood how only he could make her feel so strange on the insides, causing a feeling over her she'd never experienced before. Thanks Nick. You did it again. As she flashed a sweet smile, she quickly looked down and continued walking into the tent, until she knew he was out of sight. Alright Miley. You can do this.
After her hair had been curled, and make-up had been done, she was ready to go. She loved the comfy and durable outfit she was assigned to wear and was just thankful that she didn't have to wear a dress and heels like Demi. Today was not the day for that, and she wasn't having it. Quite frankly, she wanted today to go as quickly as possible, so she could rush home and hit up the couch with her good ole friends- Ben & Jerry.
The group was all joined together with the directors and filming crew to discuss the low-down of how the video was going to operate. This video was different than others Miley had done, simply because it was more of a day to chill out with her friends rather then performing intense dance sequences or belting out a song. Seemingly enough, Miley's attitude of negativity towards the event changed immensely. Throughout the day, the six friends laughed, joked around, and played games such as wiffle-ball and tag. Miley was pleased to find that Nicks' interactions with her got more relaxed and frequent as the day went on. At first there were slightly tongue-tied and uncomfortable conversations, but nonetheless, they became the two teenagers they couldn't deny being. Miley secretly hoped this would happen, but then again, deep down she's hoped it wouldn't. Miley was falling for him all over again.
"Hey Miley, wait up!" Nick called.
"Yeah?"
"The guys said we don't have to be on set for the next couple of hours. Crew break or something like that… Do you think we can talk for a bit? Haven't talked to you in a while, and I think it'd be nice to play catch-up." Nick said making the last words linger a bit. Fidgeting with his shirt every so often, he stared at Miley waiting for her reply. If she felt an ounce of nervousness, or apprehension, or fright- she didn't show it. She acted as if he were one of her girlfriends asking to come outside and play, much-less her most beloved ex-boyfriend asking to merely pour his heart out to her. Miley responded with complete confidence the first thing that came to mind. "Sure."
Miley led the way as the two teenagers walked in silence towards a vacant theater stationed deep inside of Disney studios. Nick trailed behind while stopping to stare inside of his dressing room questioning whether or not it was necessary to bring, before finally emerging into the darkness- guitar in hand. They each took a seat in the front row, unaware of the potential heartbreaking and affectionate minutes that could dispense.
After a few moments Nick turned to Miley and flashed that sweet smile of his bearing to break the silence. "How've you been?"
She looked up from her nervous stare before responding with a gulp. "I'm doing well. I'm leaving for Georgia in a few weeks- new movie… How are you? I'm sure you and the guys are super busy with the album and all. Congratulations by the way!"
"Yeah, thank you. It'll be fun."
At that point both looked away, alarmingly sensing the tensions in the room that were too strong for either of them to handle. So, Nick did what he does best. He grabbed his guitar and began to sing a few selected tidbits from his upcoming album. As Miley watched with awe at his passion for music she couldn't help but notice everything she ever felt about him was true. Throughout his songs, he'd occasionally give her a wink, or even a short story about times that have passed- whether it was with his brothers in the studio, or some of his and Miley's distant but desired history. As time went on, they became more comfortable and more like themselves, almost as if they never went through a publicly scrutinized break-up in the first place! The two laughed and sang in a joyful celebration when they stumbled upon a song that couldn't go on without some personal tweaking.
"What if we try this…" Miley started as she began to write a few music notes accompanied by the words Nick was singing on a scrap of paper.
"Ooh, I like that. But here, let's change the words a bit." Nick then began to play the new but similar melody, singing sweet nothings until it finally clicked into his mind.
"Alright, I've got it." Nick promptly stated. "Let's change some of the lyrics to make this a bit more of our story. Like look here--" Nick wrote a new chorus, and Miley stared at him in amazement wondering if this was really happening, or if she was just imagining it like she often did. When she realized it was for real, she began to sing it gleefully, laughing at it's accuracy to their predicaments.
Just standing out in the rain
Knowing that's it really over, please don't leave me alone
Flooded with all this pain knowing that I'll never hold you
Like I did before the storm
"Mm, I like it. It's got a great sound. Let's try it!"
As if on cue, Nick strung his guitar to the newly changed chords, and the two previous lovers sang with infatuation of each other, while illustrating their untouchable journey through music- their one and only escape. While adding a few new words here and there or slowing down the tempo then speeding it up again, they began to question what exactly made them split up. Nick began to ponder the thoughts of not only having feelings for her again, but even wanting to intensify the relationship enough to make it official. His thoughts were interrupted when Miley spoke giving Nick the seal of approval he needed.
"What kind of shirt is that, anyway? I don't think I've seen that color purple…on anyone before. Hmm... Ooh ooh, I know! It's eggplant. Faded eggplant!" Miley said with a laugh, making Nick laugh even harder. "I gotta put it on my Twitter!" Nick looked back down at his guitar and then back at Miley whose eyes were glued to her cell phone screen. Watching her concentrate so carefully on typing the right letters and seeing her laugh persistently at her new made-up color made Nick's questions cease with an answer. He was and forever will be in love with Miley.
"Yeeeeeehaw! That sounds like a hit ladies and gentlemen. Autographs will be signed after the show, and please ladies, no pushing!", Joe hollered as he and the others rushed into the secluded area causing laughs all around. He and Nick exchanged glances signaling a job well done on the song, and on the girl. More than anyone, Joe knew the pain and suffering Nick had gone through while he and Miley had been separated. Looks like all of that "Big Brother" advice finally paid off. Nice work Joe.
"Yo dudes, we're on in ten!" Joe declared formulating everyone to shift their ways back to the set.
"I want to hear that song later youguys. It sounds awesome!" Demi added before running up by Joe and Kevin.
"Definitely. You both sound so beautiful together!" Selena chimed in as she too ran up with the rest of the gang. And with that, Nick and Miley were left alone once more.
"Hm. I think they liked it." Nick said in a voice that was known to few as his "joking" tone. Miley giggled like a little school girl, and Nick felt whole again by just hearing her laugh. To him, her giggles were like music to his ears, and he loved every moment he was spending with her.
"I'd say so." She replied with a wink.
Together they walked up the aisle and as they were reaching the door, Nick grabbed Miley's hand to stop her. "Miley, spending today with you has been beyond words. I'd always imagined us doing a song together, and I'd hate for the world to miss out on this one especially. I know we've talked about it before, and I also know that right now we aren't in the best of circumstances. Yeah, I mean we've gone to lunch a few times, or ran into each other at events but things just aren't the same. I think it'd be good for us to spend time together again and figure out our standings. But first, I'd like to ask if you would consider recording this song. And I want it to be on the album. If, of course, that's alright with you…"
"No, wow! That'd be great…awesome! Yeah, I'd really, um, wow. Yeah! Me too!" Miley stumbled on her words a bit, and looked confused while doing so. To anyone else it would have come across as a doubtful, unsure answer, but not to Nick. He knew that her stuttering and hesitant response was just a form of her excitement. He had won her back.
"Good, I'm glad." Nick added with a slightly nervous yet confident laugh. "We'll have to be getting into the studio sometime soon though. How about tomorrow?"
"Sounds perfect." She said.
It was at that moment where the day went form being classified as good to extraordinary. It was destiny that had brought them to this place of assurance where everything was bound to be okay. It was nice to be with each other without having to discuss different schedules or their insistent "he said she said"s, or their jealous rampages towards scandalous photos and videos. It was pleasant just being there, and being there together.
When exiting the theater Nick leaned in close to Miley, whispering ever so softly, "Are there still 7 Things?"
Miley closed her eyes and breathed in his scent. Man, did she miss him. She gave him the softest of kisses on his cheek and said, "Mmm, maybe six."
They both laughed and walked back outside hand in hand. Before parting to get "touched-up", they caught each others glances once more as both of their hearts began to melt. It has definitely been a long lonesome while since either of them had felt complete, and whether it be before the storm or after it, Nick Jonas and Miley Cyrus have found their way back into each others hearts, making that completeness all the more meaningful.
Not so crazy about the ending. But WA-LA! Pleaaase Review. I'm not sure if I want to continue on with this story or leave it a one-shot... If yall have any suggestions or requests please feel free! 3
