Nick's POV

"Nick, listen. I really do love you. I just-" I cut Selena off.

"I love yo-" I started to say but this time it was she who cut me off. "No, you don't, Nick. I want to believe you do, I really do. But I know you don't. I know your heart belongs to Miley and that will never change. I keep telling myself that one say you'll love me the way you love her, but I know you won't."

"Sel, I do love you. Miley and me are over." I said, stating the obvious. Miley and I had broken up well over two years ago.

"I see the way you look at her. And I know you've never looked at me like that. Every time you see her, your face lights up and you smile. You probably don't even realize you do it, but you do. You've never looked at me like that. Sure, you smile when you see me, but it's not the smile you have when you see Miley," Selena said. She was visibly upset, although she was not crying.

In all honesty, I didn't know what to say. I'd be lying if I said I no longer loved Miley. She was my first true love and first real relationship. But, I also knew Miley and I were over for good. We'd both gone our separate ways. I had stayed with music, while soon after she told the world she was Hannah Montana, she went into the fashion industry. I also knew I loved Selena.

"Sel, I honestly don't know what to say

because I really do love you.."

"And I'm sure you do, but it isn't to the intensity of the way you love Miley. So, I think we should break up." Tears were now forming in her eyes, daring to roll out at any second.

I wrapped my arms around her as I stood on the beach. I really hated knowing such a sweet girl was crying over me.

"Please don't do this, I love you. Miley is my past, you are my present. I don't want to lose you, Selly." I truly did care about Selena. She was my girlfriend.

"Nick, I don't want to do this either, but I know you. And I know that right now, you should be chasing after the girl you truly love instead of hanging here with me, the girl who you'll soon enough forget about after this summer. I'll just become a name you'll remember every once in a while. Miley, though, is a girl who I know you think about more than you let on.. Go get her, Nick.." As she said this, she pushed me off of her gently and the tears streamed down her face.

It was funny, because I knew everything she was saying was true. Miley did mean more to me than she did. I just also knew I loved Selena.

"Sel, I really do care about you and.." I trailed off, not quite knowing what to say. I didn't want to hurt her any more than I knew I already had. I didn't want to admit to her that she was right, because I didn't want to see her feel anymore pain.

"It's ok, Nick. We tried and it didn't work out," she continued wiping her tears, "But do me a favor, and go get Miley. You deserve to be with the girl you truly love. You're a good guy, Nick, and you deserve to be happy. Hopefully, my prince is waiting for me somewhere out there too." She forced a smile at me, which pained me, knowing it wasn't remotely real.

"Can we stay friends?" I asked in a timid voice. I was shy all of a sudden and I didn't know why. Maybe it was because I knew she knew me too well.

"Of course..." She said this as she turned around and walked away. I watched her figure until I couldn't see it anymore, the dark sky blending in with her dark figure in the night.

I sat down on the beach and stared at the horizon. I was confused. Although I knew in my heart that everything Selena said was true, I also knew Miley was never going to come back to me. I wasn't there for her when she needed me most.

I really had been into Selena. She was a great girl and I had had a lot of fun with her. I will admit, I dated her to get over the pain of losing Miley but I truly cared about her. And I think I did love her. I think Miley just had a bigger spot in my heart...

I missed Miley with everything in me. There was something about her that made my heart beat fast and my stomach feel tingly. Every time I kissed her, I never wanted to pull away. I could never get tired of hearing her say 'I love you' to me. Never. My heart ached as I sat and thought of her, yearning for her to be mine again.

As I sat staring at the waves hitting the shore, I made a promise to myself. I, Nicholas Grey, was going to win Miley Stewart back.

Miley's POV

I hoisted the heavy box up on to my bed. My back hurt so I sat down beside my best friend, Lily Truscott.

"Ugh, Lily! This is taking forever!" I whined, as I laid back on my bed.

"All this will be worth it in the end, when we have our whole apartment to ourselves set up and ready to live in!" Lily, probably the most optimistic person I had ever met, squealed next to me.

I couldn't blame her, I was pretty excited to move in my self. However, lifting the boxes was not all that much fun.

"Hello?" A male voice called out from the hall. I walked into the main room, and there stood my boyfriend, Jake. I ran to him and gave him a bear hug.

"You two hungry? I brought you some bagels and coffee.." He said, motioning towards the coffees and bag of food on the coffee table. I hugged him again and he kissed the top of my head.

"Thank you so much, Jake. You really didn't have to do that." I said as I snuggled into his chest.

"Do I smell food?" Lily asked as she walked into the room and immediately noticed what was placed down on the coffee table. "Ooooh, I do! Might I say Miley, this boy is a keeper!"

I giggled and pulled away from Jake's arm. She was one crazy girl. "I agree with you, Lily, he IS going to be staying around for a while." I said as I opened the bag and pulled out a bagel.

"Good, because I don't plan on going anywhere, Miss Miley," Jake responded with a grin. He walked over to the table and protectively wrapped his arms around me.

I smiled; life was good. My best friend was moving into a new apartment with me and I had the sweetest boyfriend in the world.
