Because You Live.
Miley Stewart woke up in her room on the first day of school and smiled at the picture of her and Nick on her bedside table, and she touched the locket that was around her neck and smiled as she remembered the night Nick had given it to her.
Nick Gray was her boyfriend of two and a half years. For two of the years, they had to sneak around because their families hated each other. But then 6 months ago, things changed, and their families made up, meaning Miley and Nick could come out and tell their families.
Miley quickly changed out of her shorts and tank top and slipped on a pair of skinny jeans with a white tank top and a dark pink cardigan, with matching flats. She applied some lip gloss and tied her hair to the side and ran downstairs with her purse, BlackBerry, car keys and ring binder in her hand.
"I have to get to school or I'll be late. Bye, Daddy!" Miley called and ran out the door. She jumped into her car and started driving towards Seaview High, and she smiled when she remembered that it was the beginning on junior year.
She pulled into her normal spot outside the school and hopped out to see her best friends, Lilly, Mikayla, Jake, Oliver, Justin and Joe standing at the fountain, so she went and stood beside Lilly and Mikayla in front of the boys, who were sitting on the edge of the fountain, and she smiled at them.
"Hey, guys. Where's Nick?" she asked, and she felt two arms slip around her waist, and she smiled to herself and turned to see Nick smiling at her with his arms around her, and she smiled back at him and kissed his cheek. "Good morning."
"Ah, what a way to start my day. Miles, my lips hurt. Kiss them better," Nick said, and Miley giggled and kissed him lightly on the lips. Nick pulled back and smiled. "Much better." he said, and Miley smiled and turned to the others.
"With Lover Boy here not going off to college just yet, I say we have a sleepover at my house on Friday. Jackson's staying at Cooper's house, and my dad has some date or a business meeting or something. I can never tell the difference anymore. So, you guys in?" Miley asked, and everyone nodded.
"Sounds good. So, where does everyone have Homeroom? I'm in H12 with Mrs. Henderson. What about you guys?" Nick asked.
"Same. Me, Miles and Miki are all there. I checked the noticeboard outside the classroom for you guys to see if I was with you. Justin, where are you?" Lilly asked, and Justin glanced at his schedule, then looked back up.
"Same. Is it me or does it feel really strange without Kev and Troy here? I mean, they're in college, and Joe's going at the end of this year. Is it me or does it all seem weird without Kevin being overprotective of Miles and Troy staring at hot chicks?" Justin asked.
"It sure does. Joe, how does it feel to be hanging out with a group of 5 juniors? I mean, you're a senior now, and we're just juniors," Miley said and laughed as Nick kissed her head and chuckled at her small joke about how much Joe cared about being cool.
"It may seem funny to you now, Stewart, but it's cool to hang out with you guys. You're cheerleading captain, and Miki and Lils are cheerleaders, and Nick is captain of the football team and Justin's on the team with us. Think about how good that makes me look," Joe said, and smiled smugly at them.
"Yeah, still not seeing where the whole 'cool' thing comes in," Mikayla said, and everyone laughed except Joe, who crossed his arms and stuck his tongue out at them all. Alex walked over.
"Good morning, people. Why's Joe acting like a five year old? Oh, wait, he always does," Alex said, and high fived Nick.
"Oh, very funny, Alex. You guys are lucky to be hanging out with me!" Joe snapped and stormed off. Everyone burst out laughing at him, and he looked back and glared at them before walking into the main building.
"And I thought Lilly was bad when she wasn't allowed sugar," Justin said. Everyone laughed again, but Lilly glared at Justin and said, "I don't see you smiling everyday, Justin. Why's that? Oh yeah, because you don't eat sugar! It's all carbs for Mr. Football!"
"I believe Nick's Mr. Football. You know, Lils, since he's captain and all," Alex said.
"You guys NEVER side with me!" Lilly said, and Miley smiled and hugged Lilly. "Lils, you know we love you," she said, and Lilly smiled and hugged her back, until Miley saw Nick looking off towards the car park.
"Nick? What are you looking at?" Miley asked and pulled away from the hug, but Nick didn't answer. Miley looked at what Nick was staring at and saw a skinny blonde girl with big breasts and a short skirt on and a revealing top on strutting towards them in her stilettos, and Nick was staring at her.
"You are unbelievable, Nick," Miley muttered and walked away, and only then did Nick realise Miley had been talking to him, and he walked after her.
"Miles, baby, I'm sorry," he said.
"You were staring at some slut with big boobs and a short skirt, Nick! If you look at girls like her, then how do you expect our relationship to work?!" Miley snapped, and Nick wrapped his arms around Miley's waist.
"It's worked for nearly three years already. Baby, I'm sorry. I've told you that. Please forgive me?" Nick asked, and pouted like a three year old, and Miley fell for it, just like she always did.
"Promise me you won't stare at girls like her again?" she asked quietly and wrapped her arms around Nick's neck, and Nick kissed Miley passionately and pressed her gently against the wall they were standing beside, around the corner so no one could see them.
Miley deepened it and pulled him closer to her. Nick turned it into making out and ran a hand down her back, giving her chills up and down her spine. Miley ran a hand through his hair and started playing with a curl behind his ear, and Nick slipped his tongue into her mouth, and their tongues were battling each other. The kiss was no longer gentle and sweet. It was now rough and passionate. The kiss was a show of love for each other.

Back with the others, the blonde girl walked over to them, and Justin, Oliver and Jake stared at her until Mikayla stamped on Justin's toe to distract him. "Hey, I'm Brianna. I'm new here, do you guys think you could show me around?"
Nick and Miley walked over, holding hands, and Nick had Miley's lip gloss on his lips, and Miley's shirt was creased, so everyone but the blonde girl gave them strange look. But the blonde girl was looking Nick up and down, checking him out.
"Nice lip gloss, Nick. What flavour is it? Miley's tongue?" Lilly asked.
"Oh yeah, guys, this is Brianna. She was wondering if we could show her around the school. What do you think?" Oliver asked, staring at Brianna, and she smiled and winked at him. Nick looked away from Brianna so he wouldn't start staring and Miley wouldn't be mad at him.
"I have to get to class. Miles, you coming?" Nick asked, and he looked at Miley to see her giving Brianna a dirty look as Justin, Jake and Oliver all stared at Brianna's breasts and her butt.
"No, I'm going to get some water from the cafeteria. I'll see you at Homeroom. Bye, baby," Miley said. She leaned up and gave Nick a long kiss, and he kissed her back and wrapped his arms around her waist, and Miley pulled away and bit her lip.
"See you later," she said and walked away to the cafeteria.
"I have to go. Bye, guys. Um, nice meeting you, Brianna," Nick said awkwardly and walked away quickly.
"That was Nick and Miley. They've been going out for almost three years. We think they'll be together forever. They're perfect for each other. I'm Alex, and this is Mikayla, Lilly, Justin, Jake and Oliver," Alex said and smiled fakely at Brianna.
"Hey. I have to find my class. Bye, guys," Brianna said and walked away.
"There's something odd about her. She's up to something. I know it. I just need to figure out what it is," Mikayla said and began thinking.
"She was checking Nick out. And she was definitely jealous when she saw Miley and Nick kissing. She looked at the ground. An obvious sign of jealousy in the girl world. Lils, what do you think?" Alex asked, and Lilly shrugged.
"I'm not sure about her either, guys. Something very strange is going on in that girl's mind, and I want to find out what it is," Lilly said, but Justin, Jake and Oliver were all staring at Brianna's butt as she walked into the main building.
"Oh My God, you boys are such pervs," Mikayla said and walked away with Lilly and Alex.

After Homeroom, Nick went to his locker with Miley, and he saw Brianna's was right beside his. He gulped as Brianna walked over and leaned down, purposely trying to make Nick like her. Miley got jealous and kissed Nick's cheek.
The bell rang, and Miley kissed Nick's cheek again quickly and ran off to her Drama classroom, and Nick and Brianna were soon the only ones left in the hallway, and Nick closed his locker to see Brianna right in front of him, and he jumped.
"Uh, hey, Brianna. I have to go to study hall. You know how it is in junior year. Got to work hard. Uh, bye!" Nick said and started quickly walking away, but Brianna grabbed his arm and slammed him against a locker and immediately started making out with him. Nick was scared, because it felt like she was sucking his face off, and she was too strong for him to push her off.

Miley was on her way to Drama, when she realised she had forgotten her binder and turned back. When she rounded the corner to where her locker was, she saw Nick and Brianna making out against the lockers, and tears began to roll down her cheeks.
"NICK!" she yelled, and Brianna pulled back and slapped Nick.
"Nick! How dare you kiss me when you have a girlfriend! Ugh!" Brianna snapped and walked away with a smirk on her face, and Miley shook her head as tears rolled down her cheeks.
"I can't believe you. I trusted you!" she said and started walking away, but Nick stood in front of her, stopping her, and he looked her in the eyes.
"Miley, you don't understand. I was about to walk away and she just slammed me against the lockers and started kissing me. I swear to God. I promise you. I would never lie to you, Miley. You know that!" Nick said.
"No, Nick! I DON'T know! Because I just saw the guy I fell in love with making out with some slut against the lockers! We're through, Nick. I'm done with you and your games. Making girls fall in love with you and breaking their hearts isn't a good start in life," Miley said and pushed past him and walked away to Drama.
"Miley! Miley Ray!" Nick yelled, but she walked away crying, and left him there.

Miley sat down at the lunch table she sat at with Nick, Justin, Joe, Oliver, Jake, Mikayla, Alex and Lilly and silently began eating her lunch. So far, the only people there were Oliver, Joe, Mikayla and Alex.
"Miley? Are you alright? You're awfully quiet," Oliver said, and Miley shrugged with tears in her eyes and just started playing with her mac and cheese.
"Miles, tell us. I'm getting worried here. Let it out, sweetie. I can tell you're hurting. I've known you since kindergarten, remember? So spill, Miles," Mikayla said, and Miley looked around them and sighed.
"It's not like it matters. It's not like any of it matters! Because even if I tell you guys, it won't take the hurt away! It won't make everything just disappear! It'll just make things worse for me!" Miley said and a single tear rolled down her cheek. Mikayla and Alex moved closer to her and hugged her tightly.
"Sweetie, c'mon. You know we're your best friends. You can tell us anything. You know that. Damnit, where's Lilly when you need her?!" Alex asked, and Oliver and Joe looked at each other and shrugged as Nick sat down and silently began eating.
"Um, guys, I think I lost my appetite," Miley said quietly. She didn't look Nick in the eye as she got up and started walking away, but Nick watched her, and she turned around to look at him, although she didn't look at his eyes.
"What, Nick?! I can feel your eyes watching me! So what do you want?! Because you've already broken my heart today! So what else is there left to do to me?!" Miley snapped. The tears started pouring from her eyes, and Nick looked down and stood up.
"Miley, I never did anything! It was all Brianna, I swear!" Nick exclaimed and walked over to her. He put a hand on her cheek, but she pushed him away and shook her head at him.
"I guess my dad was right about love. It just screws you over, time after time. No wonder he hates my mom so much. He loved her, but she broke his heart. Just like you broke mine. Like father, like son, I suppose," Miley said coldly and walked away, and Nick felt tears come to his eyes as he walked away in the opposite direction, and Brianna walked over to Joe, Oliver, Mikayla and Alex.
"Um, hey, can I sit here? What just happened with Nick and Miley?" she asked with a slight smirk on her face, and Alex shook her head.
"No, you can't sit there. Because we know you're the reason Miley's been crying and silent. And you're the reason both Nick and Miley are heartbroken. We've seen what it's like for those two to get their hearts broken by each other, and it isn't pretty. It just so happens you were the one that caused it all this time round," Mikayla said coldly, and Brianna looked taken aback, although the group wasn't finished yet.
"I should know. I was the problem last year. Brianna, things were perfect for them before you arrived. So why don't you go back to wherever the hell you came from and stay away from Nick and Miley. Because out of all of us, they're the ones that want you gone the most," Alex said.
"You only came to school here today, and you've already got us, Nick, Miley, and all our friends hating you. Smooth. You're first day here and you're already the most hated girl in Seaview High. Nick doesn't want you, alright?! The sooner you get over him and leave him alone, the happier we'll all be," Oliver said.
"My little brother was about to cry because you kissed him, and made the love of his life break up with him. I wouldn't be surprised if they wanted you to crawl under a rock and die right now, would you?" Joe asked, and Brianna felt tears come to her eyes, because no one had ever spoken to her like that before. She then smirked and said, "All of the things you said don't matter now. Because Nick is now a free man. I can have him. Him and Miley are over. Finished. So get over it, bitches."
Brianna strutted away, swaying her hips so that every boy in the cafeteria except Joe and Oliver stared. When she had left, Lilly and Justin walked in with Jake and sat down at the table.
"What did we miss? Why was Miley running over to us and crying and why was Nick leaning against his locker and crying? And why did Brianna have the biggest smirk EVER on her face?" Lilly asked, and Alex sighed.
"You guys have a LOT to catch up on."
A/N: Yay! The sequel's first chapter is here! I am so glad that I got this written. I've been rewriting it since Saturday. I've rewritten it five times. Most of them were completely crap. But I got sick of rewriting, so I settled for this one. This story is slightly more PG one than Love Story, although it isn't M rated, because it isn't that bad. And they have purity rings in this story. So, remember to review, and check out my YouTube series, as well as xxkraeloveee's YouTube series. It would mean a lot. Thank you very much, and I hope you all have a good day. And like I said before, REMEMBER TO REVIEW! It makes me smile when I see the nice reviews you guys give me. It makes me feel special.
So thank you.
Love,
