AN: New story! My first multi-chap in this fandom, so be kind. :)

Beautifully Wrong

Summary: Miley writes a song called "7 Things" about how much she hates and loves her ex-boyfriend, Nate, and it turns into a chart-topper. He desperately needs to know why she wrote it. She's happy to tell the tale.

Chapter One: Explanations

Miley Stewart stepped out of the sleek black limo and flashed a stony smile to the photographers and fans that surrounded her. The sound of her gold strappy heels echoed through the room as she glided down the red carpet. She stopped in front of a news reporter and flashed another smile. The reporter ignored her smile and snapped her fingers at the camera man behind her and then looked directly at Miley.

"So, Miley, recently rumors have broken out that you're song '7 Things' is about you're former fling, Nate Grey. True?" She asked, all business. Miley cringed. Fling? She and Nate had dated for two and a half years! That's hardly a fling...

"Next question please." Miley said politely. She glanced down at her feet, then looked back up at the reporter.

"Okay, um, recently you gave a tell-all interview to Seventeen magazine about your relationship with Nate. Care to comment on the line, 'He was on a quest to meet me'?" She asked. Miley was glad to answer this one.

"First of all, it wasn't a tell-all interview. I didn't give all the gory details of the relationship, I simply explained what the public needed to know. And the line 'he was on a quest to meet me' is a bit mis-construed. I didn't mean it in a vain way, I just meant that he was out to find me when we first met, so it worked out." Miley replied.

"Thank you." The reporter said, finally smiling.

"Welcome." Miley said, walking away. And then she saw him. He was stepping out of a white limo, in a blue blazer and black skinny jeans. His brothers were wearing relatively the same thing, in different colors. She twisted her purity ring out of habit. She was the first one to have a purity ring, and she truly meant what it stood for. But she hated that Selena Russo, The Grey Brothers, and Demi Torres were all copying her. It was annoying. Disney had no right to push beliefs onto their clients...

"Miley! Over here, sweetheart!"

"Miley! Please?"

"Miss Stewart, I have some questions!"

She heard all of it. But she ignored it and slipped inside before anyone could see her. Before he could see her.

"Miley!" Miley sighed with relief. A familiar voice! She spun around and saw Selena, Demi, and Taylor Drift standing in a tight circle, each of them waving their arms frantically at her.

"Hey girls!" Miley said, making her way towards them. They were at the 2009 Young Hollywood party. Each of them sat down daintily at a square table. Miley sat in between Taylor and Selena, Demi sat beside Selena.

"So, I saw the article. And heard the song." Selena bit her lip and turned to look at Miley. The truth was, the girls didn't like each other that much. Selena was sweet enough, and Miley nice enough, but they just didn't click. It didn't help that Selena had gone out with Nate for six months almost directly after he dumped Miley. Sure enough, they broke up. But Sweetiepie Selena kept her mouth shut. While Miley spilled her heart out.

"Sel, you know I meant nothing by it." Miley said. "It was aimed at him. Not you."

"Right. Of course." Selena nodded, dodging Miley's eyes. Both girls stared at the boy who broke their hearts. The boy both of them still loved.

"Miley over here," A voice whispered from a corner. She'd gone to the bathroom and was surprised to find Nate hiding in a corner. Looking for her!

"What do you want?" She spat.

"To talk." He said simply. He pulled her into a closet. She rolled her eyes.

"Great. Star mag will have a friggin' field day when they catch us in a closet." Miley snapped at him. He sighed.

"Miles..."

"Stop. Calling me that." Miley cut him off. "It was what you called me when we dated. Only my close friends can call me that. You officially lost that position when you texted me that we were over. You're lucky I saved you're ass on that one! I could've been all, 'Yeah, he texted me' to Seventeen. But I didn't. Instead I told them that it was mutual and right before going on stage. You really are just too lucky. Taylor did it to Joe, and now half the population hates him. Want that to happen to you, big boy?" Miley cried out.

"Wow. I didn't know I hurt you so much." He replied slowly.

"Nate, you were my first love.." I replied.

"Miley, that was... that was puppy love! It wasn't even-"

"Do not, say it wasn't real. You jerk. Don't you know that it was the greatest relationship I ever had? And you just go around all calm and collected! All: yeah, it was nothing! I hate you. I hate you. I hate you!" Miley screamed.

"Really? Don't you hate that you love me?" He teased her.

"This isn't a time to tease, Nate." She said coldly.

"Miley. Just... tell me why you wrote the song." Nate said quietly. "Why did you call me vain? My... my games? How can I be vain and insecure...?"

"I'll think about it." She whispered. Then she turned on the heel of her shoe and left the building.

As she passed Shane and Jason, Shane said in a deep voice, "Cyrus has left the building."

"Shut the fuck up." Miley muttered to herself. He jumped slightly. He'd heard every word. What had happened to loveable Miles?

When she got home she took out a pen and paper.

Dear Nate,

Basically, the 7 Things I hate about you means this...

And that's when everything changed.

AN: So what you think so far? The next chapter and the remaining 7 are going to be what she calls him. For example, next chapter is "You're Vain" and she's going to right about why she thinks he's vain. Can't wait! Love you guys! :)
