Chapter One
They were the perfect couple. No one could tear them apart. Instead, something, not someone, could. That something was called love.
"Hey, Nick. There's something I need to talk to you about," Miley told Nick during their Saturday afternoon talk on the phone.
"What is it, Miles?" he asked, feeling slightly concerned. Nick tightened his grip on the phone when Miley told him to meet him at the park. It must be bad if they had to talk in person. After they hung up, he went straight to the park.
Miley was sitting on a bench waiting for Nick to arrive. She looked up and saw him walking around. "Nick, over here," she waved.
Nick smiled at seeing his beautiful girlfriend and walked over to her. "Hey," he smiled, pulling her into a hug. She pushed him away. "Is everything okay?"
"Let's talk," she sat back down on the bench. Nick sat down next to her. "Nick, do you love me?"
"Very much," he answered. "Do you love me?"
"Yes," Miley said. "But maybe just a little too much."
Raising his eyebrows, Nick asked, "What do you mean?"
"Being close scares me," she said.
"Oh," he said, looking down.
"Could you please say something?" she asked him.
"I'm not really sure what you want me to say, Miley," Nick looked back up. "What am I supposed to
say? 'I'm sorry for being your boyfriend'?"
"No, you don't have to apologize," Miley told him.
"Okay."
"Looks like I'm the one who needs to do all the talking here," Miley sighed. "I think we should go on a break."
"Whatever you need," Nick agreed.
Nick's reply made Miley confused. "What? You're okay with it?"
"I just want you to be happy."
Miley bit her lip and hesitated to answer. "I am happy with you. But I don't think we can be together anymore."
"We're perfect for eachother," Nick said, trying not to raise his voice. "I know you love me, so why can't we be together?"
She closed her eyes and her heart sunk. "This is killing me, Nick."
"Then don't do it."
"I'm sorry," Miley whispered quietly as tears filled her eyes. She turned around and walked away, leaving Nick to watch the person he loved with all his heart walk away from their love.

Nick sat at the counter at the small cafe, waiting for his coffee. He heard the bell ring as someone walked in, making their way over to the counter. A girl about his age sat down next to him and ordered a hot chocolate. Nick looked over at her and smiled, "Hey."
"Hi," she smiled. "Do you come here often?"
"I used to," Nick answered. "I haven't been here since-" he stopped himself. "Nevermind." Since Miley broke up with him. It had been two months.
The girl raised her eyebrows in confusion. "I'm Selena. And you are?"
"Nick."
"Nick," Selena repeated with a smile on her face.
"Where is my coffee? The service here is terrible," Nick said with a laugh.
Selena joined in. They laughed together for a few minutes until the waiter brought them their drinks. "I'm taking my hot cocoa to go. So, I'll see you around?"
"Yeah, see you around," Nick smiled as he watched the brunette walk out of the small restaurant. She turned her head to look over her shoulder and wiggled her fingers, waving goodbye. Nick returned a wave and with that, Selena was gone.
Miley stood near the back of the cafe. She saw everything with Nick and couldn't help but feel jealous.
