Chapter 1
Demi slowed down the car until it came to a stop as she glanced at her cousin slash best friend with an encouraging smile, "Have a great first day, Cos."
"I don't wanna leave." Miley whined.
"What happened to the 'I'm very excited for New York' attitude?" she mimicked Miley with a high pitched voice earning a laugh and a smack on the shoulder from Miley.
"Hey, I meant New York with you guys. But here," she pointed at the building, "I don't have you, not annoying Joseph, and not Nicky."
"Joseph is not annoying!" she narrowed her eyes at her, "And here," she mimicked her pointing at the building also, "is where you're going to learn to be a doctor. Your BIG dream!"
"But, I don't like being alone. Not after I've got to spend time with you, anyway."
"Miley, grow up, you're acting like a kindergarten kid that doesn't want to leave their mother." Demi chuckled as Miley glared at her.
"Fine, I'm going, but, I know you'll come home later whining for missing your best friend at your own college." She got out of the car and stuck her tongue out at Demi who rolled her eyes and shock her head at her and started the car again to leave, "Have a great day!" Miley yelled after her as Demi laughed heartedly.
You see, when the four moved to New York, Miley and Demi shared an apartment, while Nick and Joe lived in the family's house there; before moving back to New Jersey, they lived in New York, but they never sold the house, Denise refused to; since it's where her boys grew up and it has a lot of memories.
Miley sighed and entered the gates welcoming her second year there.
"Miley!" she heard a voice calling her as s he walked through the hallways. She turned around to meet the running blond towards her.
"Emily!" Miley said without enthusiasm.
"What happened to you during the summer? I never heard of you." She chuckled awkwardly.
"Maybe because you never called?"
"Look, I'm sorry, Miley… for everything, but, you know I was looking for what's best for you."
"You know that telling my father I left Jake, when Jake himself kept it to himself isn't the best for me."
"Well, you know Jake is good for you… he's rich and his father and yours has business together, that's definitely going to be good for both your families."
Miley looked at her with a disbelieving look, "You're sounding just like him. I don't see how is this any of your business though…"
"I'm your best friend." She exclaimed.
"Best friends know how to differentiate between their friends' wants and bullshit."
Emily rolled her eyes, "Well, I'm sure you two are back together anyway, right?"
"No!" Miley smirked as Emily's eyes widened, "And I do have a boyfriend and we're in love!"
"You have a boyfriend? What about Jake? How is he going to take that?"
"He already has! And if you're so concerned about Jake, why don't you go after him? I'm sure you'll be so good together!"
"Miley, what are you talking about? You know-"
"Emily, I have to go now. Classes are going to start and I need to get my schedule."
Emily sighed and nodded, "We're going to talk later, right?"
"Maybe," Miley shrugged and left her standing there feeling horrible.

Taylor sighed entering the building of her parents' magazine so she'd finally be back at work! It was definitely a bonus that she is working for her parents, else, she'd have never been able to take the whole summer off. She greeted her co-workers there and walked up to her own office; another bonus.
"Hey, Jean." She greeted her secretary as she woman smiled.
"Thank God, you're here, you've been getting a call almost everyday."
"From who?" She frowned.
"A guy named…" she crinkled her eyebrows and looked back at the name she'd written to make sure she's memorized it right- even though it was impossible not too, "Jacob Lautner."
"Who's that? I don't know him."
"He said something about needing you in a commercial."
"Okay, if he called back just make divert me the call."
"Oh, he will, trust me."
Taylor chuckled and entered her big office as she sighed and took in the high stylish décor of her own work room.
She really didn't know what to do there, you'd think she has a lot of work since she was gone for almost two months, but everything she was supposed to do was handed to other employees there until she's back.
She picked up her phone and went through her contacts list and then stopped at Selena's name pressing call.
"Hey, sis. Come and save me."
"What's wrong, Sel?" she chuckled at her younger sister's answer.
"I hate that! I'm sitting amongst a group and the therapist is insisting we 'share' our thoughts." She rolled her eyes adding air quotes.
"You do realize that this is actually a way to get better."
"But, they're total strangers!"
"They have the same problems, Sel. You'll get benefited from their stories I promise."
"This is just so awkward." She groaned childishly.
"You'll get used to it, hun. You know I'm really proud of you."
"Let's just hope I don't run away freaked out here. You haven't heard of Miley or Demi, have you?"
"No, not yet, I guess they should be having classes now or something." She thought about it, "Which bring us to why you're at the therapist and not in College?"
"I don't have classes until later. She told me to tell her when I know my schedule, and when I called her, she told me to comer over just then, and here I am."
"Well, good luck with that, Sel. You'll get better."
"I hope so. Hey I gotta go, seems like they're starting."
"Okay, bye." She smiled hanging up.
She was really proud of her sister, Selena was actually willing to get professional help, no matter how much she hated the idea of being controlled by a certain schedule for the therapy, but she was determined, she wanted to live happily and normally again, that summer was a really good help for her, when she found some real friends again, and was clear with her sister about the Joe thing… that just lifted a weight off of her shoulders.
So, here she was, a young girl studying Arts at Yale, and having a great family, friends and soon a great life, perfect even.

"I'm not, Joe." Nick rolled his eyes over the phone, "No, I can't just go home and cook right now."
"Really, Nick, I have some… plans?"
"Meaning…?"
"Just plans, dude."
"Demi plans you mean."
"Whatever, yeah, Demi plans. It's the first time since forever that I'm able to actually take her on a date."
"Well, it's my first time ever to be able to take Miley on a date."
"Nick…" Joe whined.
"What do you want food for, anyway? Clearly, you're having dinner out with your girlfriend."
"For later. During the night. You know I get hungry at night." Joe said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Gosh, Joe, this whole thing for your late adventures." Nick shook his head, "Just order some food, dude." He exclaimed.
"Fine, Nick. But when I die hungry, I'm blaming you."
"Yeah, well, I'll take all the blame, fine."
"Where are you anyway?"
"On my way to pick Miles up."
"So, you're night starts so early?" Joe smirked knowing he's annoying his brother.
"Get lost, Joe." He groaned earning a heartedly laugh from his brother.
"Fine, dude, jeez, someone is excited and nervous."
"Yes, Joe, I'm, I'm telling you it's my first date!"
"Don't worry, Nicolas, God, you've already said 'I love you's."
"That's what's worrying me, what if she realizes she was wrong later? I mean, I don't doubt her or anything, but we've never been on a date and we are already in love, do you think there's something wrong?"
"Well, I was surprised at first, I'm not gonna lie," Joe said glad that his brother is asking him for advice, "but, later as I saw you two together, I knew you guys aren't making decisions on what you're temporarily feeling, it came out from the heart."
"I know, Joe, I believe her, and I swear that's how I feel… but, what I meant is, is it normal to feel like that in such a small span of time?"
"Yes, dude, it's normal. I mean, love doesn't know time, place or even personalities, it just happens that you love that person and you would name million reasons why you love them."
"Right," Nick smiled knowing that's what he's feeling with Miley, "Thanks, man."
"Anytime, little brother."
Nick rolled his eyes but smiled, "I have to go, Joe, gotta call Miley and tell her I'm outside."
"Okay, have fun, bro."
"Yeah, you two."
Nick sighed happily as he entered Miley's number quickly not missing a number and pressed the call button.
"Nick, where are you?" He chuckled at her voice which he found really cute.
"I'm outside, babe. Waiting for ya."
"I'm coming, I missed you."
"Missed you too."
"I'll be there in a minute."
"Okay, baby."
He waited in his car for her to turn up until she finally came to his view running out of the building and straight towards him with the hugest smile on. But, he saw another figure watching her and almost running or more like jogging after her.
"Nick!" she said as she slid her body into the passenger seat next him.
"Hey, Miles." He said and pecked her lips. Right then, the blond also known as Emily who is insisting to be Miley's best friend even though she hadn't been acting like a one at all lately reached them. "Um, Miles?" he looked up at the blond confused as Miley rolled her eyes.
"Nick, this is Emily, Emily this is my boyfriend Nick."
"Hi, I'm Miley's best friend." She stuck her hand out for him to shake as she introduced herself to him when Miley ignored her relation to her.
"Nice to meet you." He smiled and took her hand gladly.
"You too, I heard some about you from Miley today."
"No, you didn't." Miley shook her head as Emily's smile dropped, "You only heard the part I was talking to mom about." She knew she sounded harsh and all, but Emily has been getting on her nerve the whole day pretending that nothing ever happened, that she was calling her father updating him with Miley's actions behind her back, and never called her during the summer and not even apologizing about one thing.
"Miley…"
"Look, Emily, maybe we'll talk later, but I have to go now." She said calming down a little.
The girl nodded annoyed and looked away not even saying goodbye to her or at least Nick.
Nick looked at Miley questioningly as she nodded at him to take off and drive.
"What was that?"
"She's been getting on my nerve the whole day, she's pretending to be my best friend."
"Pretending?" he asked confused.
"Look, I'll tell you about it later, for now, I want to be happy with you. So, tell me about those big plans of yours for tonight." She said excitedly as he chuckled.
"Well, first, we're driving to your home so you get changed."
"And then?" she asked eagerly while beaming at him.
"Then that's a surprise." He smirked as she groaned.
"Really, Nick tell me."
"Nope."
"Please?"
"Never, and don't you dare use the puppy face."
"You're unbelievable." She said as he laughed.
"Well, you're stuck with me, you love me." He shrugged.
"I'm glad I'm stuck with you, cause you're too since you love me back."
"That, I definitely do."
Yo-yo, that's the first chapter of the sequel, I don't know how long it's gonna be, but I'm expecting it to be kinda short one! We'll see… if you liked it of course, so please tell me what you think about it :D:D
