Chapter one

The holiday

Miley's POV

Waking up was never easy. Especially when you hadn't gotten to sleep til 4 that morning because you had a tune stuck in your head that you decided needed lyrics. It was all part of my aim to prove to the world that i wasn't just another pretty face. That in fact i could write songs that would bring me just as much fame, if not more. However, as long as i stayed up... the only words i could peace together ended up being about him. It had been two years so why was i not over him. I remembered seeing him and his brothers on the internet the other night after mandy texted me telling me about their new music video. I felt my heart skip a beat when i saw him on the screen. I couldn't believe that he was better looking than i remember... his hair, his eyes... ughhh i seriously needed to get a life. And thats when i saw her. I had met her only once, yet i felt hatred towards the brunette girl smiling at him like that..... ok i seriously need to get a life. More than anything i just wanted my friends back. Joe allways knew how to make me laugh, whispering inappropriate jokes just before i was about to go on stage . Kevin was my agony aunt, always giving me advice when i was torn. And nick.... you never stop loving your best friend... that was my problem.

"Miles.... are you up?" dad entered the room holding a cup of orange juice

" hay bud, me and your mum have got to head into town for a bit. How you feeling"

"just tired" i mumbled from my pillows. It had been two years since i had had time off and now i had a month "i just wanna chill here pop"

Dad put the glass on the table "i thought you might.... you have the house to yourself so i will give you a call later to tell you when we are going to be home"

I heard his footsteps get quieter as he left with a final click of the front door. Freedom.

A word i had not used in a long time.

This holiday would be good for me...... i hope.

Nicks POV

The wind was whipping through my hair as joe Kevin and i stepped off the stage, saying our goodbyes to the thousands of screaming fans. No matter how many times we played to a crowd, i still couldn't believe that they were screaming for me. It was a good way to take my mind of things. My brothers were constantly informing me that i was in a depressed state recently. They would be to if they had had a string of failed relationships in the last 2 years. I just couldn't stop comparing the girls to her. Her lips, her eyes, the way it felt when i held her.... ughhhh i had to get over her. She was obviously over me. She was dating that justin guy, what was he again.... oh right an underwear model. I snorted out loud at this.

Joe turned to look at me from his dressing room chair "whats funny?"

I quickly mumbled "nothing" and turned to look at myself in the mirror

Joe rolled his eyes "i hope your not going to be like this for our entire holiday"

Kevin walked over hearing this "yea bro. Its a month off... a month!! We havnt had that long in 2 years"

This brought back the painfull memory of the last time we had had a holiday with miley. That had been the end of our relationship

Flashback

I knocked on the door of the massive two storied house the stewerts owned in LA. I heard the pounding of feet as someone ran down the stairs to the door which flew back to reveal miley standing there in her sweats with her hair in pigtails looking painfully beautiful. My heart thudded in my chest as her face lit up in a huge smile and she lept into my arms.

"nick!!"

I nuzzled my face into her neck, breathing deeply, trying to memorize her scent "hay you"

Miley pulled back with a confused look on her face still holding my hands "i thought you were heading to new York"

I looked down at our hands, unable to look at her face with what i was about to say "uh, yea i am... look miley we need to talk.

I could hear the nerves in her voice "uh oh thats never good" she whispered

I looked up to see her eyes searching for mine, trying to decifer what was going on. I quickly looked back down and continued in a rush "im so sorry but i think it would be best if we didn't see each other anymore"

"oh" miley droped my hands and took a step back .I looked up to see tears brimming in her eyes "why?" she whispered

I had to take a deep breath to stop myself from choking up "um i just don't feel that spark anymore" ........lie........... " i just don't wanna be tied down while we go on tour you know" ........... another lie

The tears were streaming down her face now as she put her arms across her stomach to hold herself "but nick... i...i don't understand... you...you told me you loved me"

My heart broke. I wanted to wrap her in my arms and tell her that i loved her more than life itself but i couldn't.... it would cost her her future, even if she didn't realise it. I had to make her believe i didnt love her so she would move on and keep her career "i did.... but things have changed... ive changed, and i just want to be alone" with that i turned to leave, i couldn't fight back the tears that threatened to flow. I had just lied to the person i loved the most in the world.... and she believed me.
