PROLOGUE
"Miles, I'm going out! I'll be back by 10!" her brother's voice rings through the house. As she hears the front door slam, Miley sighs and looks out of the window of her room. Her brother gets into the car and drives away. She stares at the green grass of their yard, remembering how much easier things were a couple of years ago. She and her best friend Demi would play outside, on the swings or in the sandbox. They would care only about each other. No boys would be involved; they'd be completely drama-free. But that time is gone now. It is 10 years later now and the girls are in high school. They are still best friends, they still see each other on daily basis – the only difference is that now they have to deal with constant drama in their lives. Her gaze moves towards a picture in her hands. It is a picture of her, her older brother Joe, Demi and Demi's older brother Nick. It was taken 2 years ago when everyone was so happy together. Joe and Demi have been dating for 3 years. Miley and Nick would reach their fourth anniversary next month, if only he hadn't broken up with her. Two years ago, he left for college, but he promised her they would make it, despite the fact that she was still in high school. Three weeks later, he broke up with her over the phone, saying that he met someone else and that he really likes her. He also told her to go and find her own happiness, because he knows that if they were still together, but they could barely see each other, she would be more devastated than she is now. Miley disagreed, but kept her mouth shut. She just hung up.
It's been two years since that day and Miley still isn't over Nick, despite dating many different guys. She always ended up comparing them to him. In the end, she always decided it wasn't worth it, so she broke up with them. They deserved someone who could fully love them, not someone who was just using them.
Miley jumps on her feet and exits her room in a hurry. She walks downstairs to the kitchen and grabs her laptop from the counter. She then returns to her room, locking the door behind her. She puts the laptop on her bed before climbing on it and covering herself with a blanket. She goes to MSN and smiles as she notices that her best friend is online.
demmmmItria smaylooo , guess what?!
A message suddenly appears on her screen.
Xxxsmiley what?!
demmmmItria nick's coming back!
At the mention of his name, Miley's heart suddenly jumps and she is forced to take a deep breath.
Xxxsmiley that's cool!
demmmmItria there's more!
Xxxsmiley really?
demmmmItria Yep! He's engaged! Can you believe it?!
Her eyes well up with tears as she reads Demi's latest message. Thank God she managed to convince her that she's over him (which she isn't, but it would be way too weird for her if Demi knew about that), otherwise she'd be in even more torture. For a few minutes, Miley doesn't say anything. She just sits there, on her warm bed, re-reading that message over and over again.
demmmmItria Oy, Miley, you OK?!
The following message wakes her up and she starts to write…
Xxxsmiley I'm fine, silly. xD Just had to pee.
