"I need to find my way back to the start
when we were in love things were better than they are
Let me back into your arms"
-Into Your Arms, The Maine

"I love ice cream" Selena said sighing contently and putting down her half finished pint of Ben and Jerry's.

"Same" Miley agreed while Demi just hummed in approval because her mouth was full of the creamy goodness.

Three months ago if someone had told Miley she would be having a sleepover with Demi and Selena she would have called them insane. But here she was laying on her bed with her "replacements" and eating ice cream while watching girly movies.

It had started with a forced encounter with Demi. Once of Disney's many ploys to appear as if they were a happy family. Miley was surprised to find that she and Demi got a long really well and had a lot in common. She was not obsessed with the Jonas Brothers like she came to the media and she had no intentions of replacing Miley.

Selena had been much harder. After all, she was dating Miley's ex and first love. After many hopeless tries from Demi and Taylor Miley and Selena could still not be comfortable around each other. It wasn't that they hated each other at all. They were just awkward. The normal things that girls talk about were not exactly things they felt were right to discuss with each other.

That changed about a week ago though. Miley still remembered it perfectly. She had been laying in this exact spot on her bed in fact. Her phone had started ringing and she frowned not recognizing the number.

When she picked up the phone all she heard for the first few seconds were sobs.

"Hello?" Miley had asked slightly alarmed.

"Miley… It's me" the voice said between tears.

"Selena?" Miley said her eyebrows furrowing in confusion.

"Miley, he dumped me" Selena continued still crying steadily, "I don't know what to do… I don't understand… nothing was wrong!"

Fuck you Nicholas Jonas Miley cursed in her head. Miley was surprised by the sympathy she felt hearing this girl cry even though she had been secretly fantasizing about them breaking up for months.

"Shh.. It's okay" Miley comforted the girl, "He's a big jerk, I know sweetie."

"He just told me that he didn't think we were working out, but everything was just fine"

"Ugh he is such a jerk Selena. Seriously"

"I know," Selena said as her tears began to subside, "If only he wasn't so cute…"

Miley laughed at her attempt at a joke and then did something that surprised her.

"Hey Selena, do you and Demi wanna go to dinner tonight with Justin and I?"

She heard Selena hesitating over the phone.

"C'mon" Miley insisted, "Trust me, Justin slamming Nick is the funniest thing ever. You'll wonder why you ever liked him"

Justin had helped Miley get over Nick and then became her boyfriend. Who said he couldn't cure Selena too? Justin was a good friend to everyone. Miley could handle sharing him. Sure, it was slightly immature to enjoy Justin ragging on Nick, but who cared?

Selena giggled, "Okay, I'll go."

So Miley had dressed up and gone out with them. Selena, Demi, and Miley were all crying from laughing so hard at Justin's impressions. Sure, they were exaggerated and slightly mean, but it was the easiest way to forget about someone.

And now they were having a sleepover and talking about how much they dislike the Jonas Brothers.

"Nick is probably just sitting around writing songs or something lame like that" Selena said before laying down on her back.

"Or maybe he's going really crazy and taking out the trash" Miley added.

All three girls snickered. After the giggles subsided Selena sighed, "I'm tired"

"Me too," Demi agreed.

Miley just nodded. She wasn't tired at all, but she was too polite to keep her guests up. Soon the two best friends had drifted off into dream world.

Miley turned off the lights and laid down on the edge of her giant bed. Her mind kept drifting to the heartbreaker: Nick Jonas. He was by far the biggest heartbreak of Miley's young life. It didn't matter that they were only fourteen; he had meant something to her. Age didn't matter, he still hurt her… And continued to hurt her, even if it was unknowingly.

Every chord and every word about her drove a stake through her heart. Every time one of their songs came on the radio she found herself picking apart the words for meaning and wondering if it was about her or someone else.

The Letterman blow had been pretty bad too. "I was fourteen… it was a young little relationship" He made it seem like she didn't mean anything. It was the worst blow to her pride Miley had ever received. She had gone around making big deals about how she was over him, but he would always have a place in her heart. And there he was saying that she meant nothing and that he was really over her.

But Miley was over him too, right? That's why Selena had called because she wanted to know how to get over him and be successful, just like Miley was. And Miley seemed happier now, right? Her hair was light again, she was (somewhat) staying out of trouble, and she had Justin, but was she really happy?

Truthfully, she wasn't sure. Nick was still like a shadow over her life. His presence was always just there. It didn't help that he was also one of America's most popular stars. He actually was everywhere.

He was like a part of her. It annoyed her to no end that he always would be. No matter what he would always be her first for so many things. He would always have to be in her mind. Who was the best friend you ever had? Nick Jonas. Who was your first kiss? Nick Jonas. Who was your first love? Nick Jonas. Who was the first boy to break your heart? Nick Jonas.

Miley was startled out of her thoughts when she heard a knock at the window. Her heart began to race in fear. What if it was a stalker who had made it past security? She took a deep breath before opening the French Doors to her balcony.

Her eyes searched the ground for the intruder before they settled on a startlingly familiar figure.

"Miley?" it whisper-yelled.

"What are you doing here?" she hissed angrily. What the hell? What kind of bad joke was this?

He ignored her question. "Can I come up?"

"No" Miley said crossing her arms over her white tank top, "If you know what's good for you you'll leave now"

"C'mon Miles" her heart raced when she heard him use her nickname, "I miss you, can't we just talk? Like old times?"

Miley looked nervously back into her room. He needed to get lost now before one of her newly found friends woke up. How awkward would that be if one of them found her with Nick? They would probably assume stuff… and if Selena was jealous who knows what she would do?

Her look did not go unnoticed by him, however he misread it.

"Is Justin in here?" he asked sounded disappointed and was that possible, jealous? No it couldn't be.

"No," Miley said annoyed that he would think that, "Don't believe everything you read. Can you please just go?" she was almost begging at this point.

"Tell me why" he demanded although as he was the one who had snuck over to her house, he had no position to be making demands.

"I don't want you here!" Miley practically yelled. She knew that if she was mean enough he would just go away. He starred at her dumbfounded and she heard rustling inside.

Miley sent the boy a look that hopefully said 'If you do not get lost now, I will kill you'.

"Miley?" Selena asked approaching the double doors. She rubbed her tired eyes with her fists as her eyes adjusted to the darkness.

The look of confusion on his face when he heard her voice was priceless. If the situation wasn't so ridiculous Miley would have laughed.

'Go!' she mouthed at him before he slid into the darkness.

"Hey Selena"

Selena yawned, "What are you doing out here so late?"

Miley smiled easily. The girl in front of her with slightly puffy eyes and disheveled hair looked so innocent, how could Nick have broken her heart?

"Couldn't sleep" she replied which technically wasn't a lie, "Sometimes looking at the stars helps."

Selena smiled back and joined Miley on the balcony and starred up at the sky.

"It's nice out here" she commented.

"Thanks, it's my favorite part of my room"

Selena yawned again.

"I think you need to go back to sleep" Miley joked.

"Yeah probably" Selena said giggling, "You coming?"

Miley shook her head and Selena headed back into her room alone.

Miley stayed outside looking at the stars for real this time. Her heard was still racing from her encounter earlier. What did that mean? She shook her head determinedly as if trying to get him out of her mind.
