Life is beautiful

"I love you,"

"I love you too."

His lips pressed against the side of my head as I welcomed the Wednesday morning knowing that someone adored me. I smiled at the concept, that he loved me, that I was his, and he was mine forever. Liam's lips moved from my head as my fiance slipped from our warm cosy bed, fiance, wow I'd never get used to saying that...

"You're doing it again," Liam noted.

I turned staring up at the man who held my heart so tightly in his grasp.

"What?"

"Smiling like an idiot,"

I sat up stretching my arms above my head as he smirked, "How can I not smile? This has been the best week of my life."

"Mine too,"

Liam leaned back onto the bed and shook his head thinking about it, "Actually no, this week hasn't been the best of my life." I stared at my everything confused as he crawled over pushing me effortlessly back down against the pillow, Liam's body leaned over mine hovering, "It's not the best week, because since I met you it's been the best three years of my life. I can't even imagine what I'd be without you,"

I could have died right then and gone to heaven, but instead my smile tripled as I leaned up pulling Liam into a kiss.

His lips melted against mine and I just felt like for once everything was in perfect harmony. I knew it wouldn't stay like this, not forever anyway, but for now nothing could take away this feeling. I wrapped my hands around his neck deepening the kiss while his shirtless torso pressed up against mine, making me squirm at the idea I would get to wake up next to this every morning for the rest of our life together. Liam broke the kiss only to quickly kiss me delicately back, the smell of his skin intoxicated my system sending everything into overdrive. It had been just the same since he'd proposed, I hadn't even looked at the ring, I didn't care about it! All I'd seen was Liam on one knee and he was all I'd ever wanted. To be happy, for my life to beautiful and now I had that. I had my happily ever after...

The phone ringing broke our kiss as Liam sighed looking at me with sweet smile,

"You know what the means,"

"What?" I asked playing dumb

He kissed my nose as I let out a small giggle, "It means..." Liam stated grabbing my left hand as I watched him kiss the ring he'd put on my finger last week, "That this isn't a secret anymore, I'm sure that's the first surprised congratulation call of 's the day Miley. The world knows that we're engaged."

I felt my smile drop as he's face replicated mine, "You're scared aren't you?"

"Are you?"

He nodded, "I am,"

"Me too."

"I'm scared of what they'll say,"

"I'm scared of what they'll think of us," I whispered looking at him,

Liam squeezed my hand and looked at me, "Remember don't think, just do. I proposed because I love you Miley, and I don't need anyone's permission to do that! Except you dad of course, but I asked him let's make that clear." I laughed and Liam kissed my lips again, "We don't need the world's permission, do they know us? No! Should they judge us? No! Do we care what those teenager girls think of us-"

"No." I responded,

He nodded, "Exactly, and as long as each other we'll be-"

"Happy." I finished,

"Yes we will!"

I moved my hand through his hair trailing it down Liam's rough face, "If only you knew how happy you make me, I wish you could see that. How you've made me complete,"

"I don't need to see it Miles, I feel it too."

"I love you so much,"

"I love you too Miley."

His lips reconnected with mine as my phone started obnoxiously ringing, totally destroying the mood.

I pulled away pushing myself up with Liam following my lead moving off my body, "I have to go baby, meeting." Liam announced as I nodded reaching out for my phone, "I'll be home before lunch and I plan on taking my gorgeous fiancé out to wherever in the world she wants to go, preferably in Los Angeles though."

I smiled and nodded at him, "It's a date,"

"Okay,"

He kissed me again and climbed off my bed as I stared at my now silent phone.

"Who called?"

I stared at the screen and shrugged, Unknown

"Unkown caller," I responded, "Maybe they'll leave a message."

Liam nodded pulling on his shirt as I watched his body in awe, "You're going to have fun today, you wait this is only the beginning. It's what..." Liam leaned over staring at the clock, "It's six now, ten at night back home in Australia which means all my extended family will know, and now you'll have your crazy friends start calling when they hear Ryan Seacrest babble on about us on the radio."

I groaned falling back onto the bed, "I'm going to be on the phone all day!"

Liam laughed, "Don't groan, you love the attention."

"You're right," I smirked laughing, "I do, and I love you."

"I love you too."

My phone started ringing again as I gazed at it, Unknown

I pressed accept as I watched Liam tugging on his jeans looking sexy as hell,

"Hello,"

I frowned at the silence looking at the screen, I'd definitely answered.

"Hello? Anyone there? Hello?"

Liam frowned looking at me, "Who is it?"

"I don't know," I responded confused, "Hello is anyone there?"

"Just hang up,"

I agreed to Liam's suggestion and pressed end, looking back to him shrugging, "I might need to change my number again, it's probably Jennifer Lawrence calling angry at me for stealing you away from her." I joked referring to the frequent publicity to which Liam rolled his eyes at, "It's most likely a fan, or someone who is so mad at me that they can't even find the words to explain our engagement,"

"No one is going to be mad Miley, shocked yes, but not mad."

Liam glanced at the look and pulled on his shoes, "I gotta run, I'll see you at lunch be here okay?"

"Where else would I be?"

He kissed my lips hastily but I still got to taste his sweetness before Liam rushed out the door,

I fell back onto the bed glowing as I spread my arms ad legs out grinning like a complete idiot. Liam had made me happier then I'd ever felt, this just didn't even feel possible, I felt like I was going to combust. For a while I just laid like that staring up at the roof listening to the phone ringing down the hallway, but I didn't answer, I just wanted to dwell on this feeling before I got hurt. Even though Liam told me not to care, we both did, and in our own separate ways we'd fight the harsh words everyone would say about us. I could already see it now...

We were too young! She must be pregnant, how could they be so stupid? It won't last, he'll cheat for sure.

Maybe we were too young, but right now age didn't matter and I wished I could explain that.

I let the phone ring another ten times before I finally reassured myself that this was right, I didn't feel guilt or concern about Liam it was everyone else I was thinking about and I shouldn't be considering them. Because this was about me, about us, not them.

I climbed out of bed as I walked over to my counter filled with jewelry and perfume along with a mirror behind it.

I stared at my reflection and I saw the little girl I'd been, the teenager everyone loved, the teenager everyone hated and now the young women who was taking a risk at being in love. I smiled as I leaned forward opening my jewelry box only to see a shine, I smiled looking at the ring on my left hand. It was so gorgeous...

My eyes turned away as I froze looking at the one silver token that caught my attention,

I put my hand into the box and retreated the flat piece of metal pulling it so the chain followed.

The dog tag...

I moved it to my chest and closed my eyes letting out a sigh. I missed Nick. I still missed him, but I'd fallen in love again. Yet he'd always have a piece of me that Liam would never be able to claim. I tried to not love Nick, but it was only when I realized I never would stop loving him that I fell for Liam. I let my love for Nick slowly fade as Liam took control each day, and now it was only the smallest of fragment that tied my heart to Nick's but that would never disappear, I knew that, Liam knew that and I'm sure Nick did too.

I wonder what he'd think of our engagement, of me...

My phone started ringing again as I quickly turned and rushed over grabbing it

Unknown

"Hello?"

I huffed at the silence, "Seriously? This isn't funny, just say something for gods sake! Or stop calling."

I listened to the deathly quiet as I flicked the dog tag in my hand as I froze,

"Nick?" I questioned,

"Nick is that you?"

I waited for a second, before deciding to hang up. I moved the phone only to hear a voice...

"You're marrying him?"

I closed my eyes dropping the dog tag, oh god, it was him.

"I am."

There was silence for a moment as I heard him suck in a breath, "Are you sure you're making the right decision?"

"Yes," I said without hesitation, "Yes I'm sure, I'm happy Nick. I love him."

"Do you? Do you really love him like you loved me?"

I frowned at his voice, at the feeling he made me feel, as I shook my head. Why had had he called? To scrutinize me for my bad judgement? I suddenly regretted answering the phone, but I couldn't hang up, because it was Nick and like I said he'd always hold something over be that I couldn't just deny.

"I love him Nick, more then I loved you." I whispered honestly,

He fell silent again as I could feel the pain seeping through the phone,

"Okay, that's all I needed to hear, he better look after you Mi."

"He will Nick,"

I heard him move the phone as Nick went to hang up,

"Nick wait-"

The line went dead as I closed my eyes dropping my hand,

"I'll always love you too." I whispered to no one,

I picked up the dog tag and stared at it, then slowly I put it back in the box. As long as I had that piece of him, I would always remember that he was the first boy I loved, the first boy who meant everything to me. Now I had a man, I had Liam and he was everything I wanted. I loved him and I could see a future with him that I'd never seen with Nick.

My phone buzzed as I raised it staring at the text message

Unknown:

As long as your happy, I'm happy. I hope your life is beautiful Miley.

A/N: WTF just happened? I'm shocked, I'm sure you're all shocked. I was so mad at them, and then I was like okay I don't know them I need to calm down haha. But honestly I was like I'm writing a one shot to show my anger and then as I was writing I realised, if she's happy then I'm happy and we shouldn't judge even though I kind of am. I wish Liam and Miley luck and I suppose that's all we can do...Apologies for the crappiness, it's late here!

On a side note thinking about making another chapter with Nick's emotions to the engagement, yes/no/ maybe?
