Authors Note: Story based on recent Oscar After Party rumored events. Enjoy :D
Take my hand, take a breath
Pull me close and take one step
Keep your eyes locked on mine,
And let the music be your guide
Just hours before the after party, he was texting her on the plane back from Houston. She claimed that her current boyfriend wouldn't be at the after party and was super excited to finally talk to him in person. Nick's tiredness from the concert was immediately washed away when he heard this. He couldn't wait to get home.

Nick smiled as he tied his tie in front of the mirror of his parents LA home. He had about 5 minutes to spare before Joe would come in yelling that if he didn't hurry, Joe would leave without him. Nick decided to rehearse just one more time.
He looked straight into the mirror and said, "Can I have this dance Miley?"
He knew it was only one line to say to her but it could mean so much more. He smiled to himself as he pictured Miley and him dancing close together, body's moving in perfect harmony to the beat of the sultry music. As if almost on cue, Joe barged into Nick's room.
"Hey bro, we got to go now!" Joe said, his voice escalating.
"Chill dude. I'm coming." Nick replied chuckling to himself before following Joe out the house and into his car.
It's like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you
it's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do
Nick adjusting his dark brown eyes to the bright flashes of the paparazzi camera's in contrast to the dark night. Nick followed Kevin, Joe, and Danielle into the club where the after party was being held. Nick did his best to ignore the annoying questions from the paparazzi about him and his girlfriend Selena. For once, Nick just wanted to forget all about him and Selena and focus on what really mattered most..
As the group entered the dark club, Joe and Demi immediately ran out into the dance floor already crowded with celebrities. Kevin and Danielle went to go and meet their friends Zac and Vanessa. Once again, Nick was left alone. His eyes wandered across the crowded room in search for her. Her eyes sparkled like the ocean and her bright smile always could be seen from far away. Nick was sure that she would be here. She said she would and Miley never breaks her promises. Nick's thoughts were broken by a woman in her late twenties who began singing on the stage. Nick guessed she was in entertainment for the night and began to search even harder for Miley.
Finally, he saw her.
She had on a silky, full length, cream colored dress. Nick couldn't help but gaze over her perfectly formed body. He began to remember how nice it was when she belonged to him. Suddenly, Nick saw a hand on Miley's thigh. Nick's vision panned out from Miley to reveal Liam behind her. He pulled Miley onto his lap and she leaned back onto his chest.
Nick's anger boiled up inside him and it was beginning to show. His hands curled up into fists and his lips pursed together in a thin line. He hated that sweet talking, Australian actor, she called her boyfriend. He had ruined Nick's chances with Miley and Nick will never be able to forgive him.
Nick's eyes met Miley's, Blue on Brown. Nick was angry. Miley was guilty. She knew she had screwed up. Miley broke the gaze quickly and leaned more on Liam.
Nick stood in the club, frozen and heartbroken knowing that he couldn't do anything. He might have won the battle but he sure didn't win the war.
Oh no mountains too high enough, oceans too wide
'Cause together or not, our dance won't stop
Let it rain, let it pour
what we have is worth fighting for
you know I believe, that we were meant to be
Can I have this dance?
