Disclaimer: I don't own anything. Just the plot.
Miley's P.O.V.
"Joe, let's go! We're about to perform!" I yelled at my best friend's boyfriend.
Now I don't want to interrupt their little love fest but we need to go onstage.
I pulled Joe away from Taylor and pushed him to his brothers. I turned back to Taylor and said "He'll be right back!"
I breathed heavily.
Joe walked over to me and patted my back "Good luck, Miles! And thank you."
"For what?" I asked, looking innocent.
"I know you have something to do with it." I just sheepishly smiled.
"And now, give it up for Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers."
The crowd went wild at the sight of the brothers, at the sight of Miley Cyrus and at the sight of us on one stage.
Even Taylor cheered for us.
"Taylor, I guess we're even!" I yelled out to the microphone.
He then started strumming his guitar, looking directly at me.
And me, feeling uncomfortable, looked at the audience.
Yeah…
Woah…
I know this isn't what I wanted
I never thought it'd come this far
Just thinking back to where we started
And how we lost all that we are
We were young and times were easy
But I could see it's not the same
It was at the 2006 Easter Egg Roll at the White House when I first met him.
I remember the exact date. It was June 19th when we first met.
We were both performing at the event and over the course of the night Taylor dragged me to where the boys were.
Ecstatic to meet them, I even made a Lilly Truscott 'EEP!' moments.
"Hi!" he said shyly.
"Hi!" I said excitedly. Gosh, was I embarrassing!
He put his hand up for me to shake but I ignored it instead I said "I don't do handshakes, I do hugs."
And as if acting on impulse, I hugged him and said the first thing that came to my mind.
"I hate your shirt." But I was fourteen then. We both were.
I'm standing here but you don't see me
I'd give it all for that to change
I was walking down the red carpet premiere of my movie 'Hannah Montana: The Movie' when I saw those three boys walking the same carpet.
I didn't remember inviting them but it all made sense when Demi linked arms with them. Why did she invite them? And how did she get 3 plus-one invites?
Oh, well. I just hope I wouldn't bump on them anytime soon.
But as always 'I don't get what I wish for'. "Miley." I heard Joe Jonas say my name.
I didn't bother turning around. I continued walking and caught up with Emily and Mitchel.
But I can't help it. I took one glance at the brothers. I could've sworn I saw Nick looking at me.
And I don't want to lose her
Don't wanna let her go
Standing out in the rain
I need to know if it's over
Cause I will leave you alone
It started raining.
On the very miserable day of my life, it had to rain.
"So, is it really over?" I asked while crying. I didn't bother wiping them off seeing the rain already did.
He turned to me and said "I'm sorry, Miley." Miley. No more Miles, Smiley, Smiles, Mi. Just Miley.
He turned around and started walking back to the hotel. He left me. Alone.
So, I ran as fast as I could go. Somewhere away from there.
Flooded with all this pain
Knowing that I'll never hold her
Like I did before the storm
Yeah…
Before the Storm
With every strike of lightning
Come a memory that lasts
And not a word is left unspoken
As the thunder starts to crash
Maybe I should give up
It was all over the headlines. Every news, every magazine, every article.
'Selena Gomez and Nick Jonas: So In Love With Each Other!'
'Miley Cyrus replaced by Selena Gomez'
'Move over Miley, there's a new Cinderella in town!'
I was replaced. With one of my best friend. Hold on. My former best friend.
How could he? How could she? How could they?
'Knock, Knock.' Taylor peeked into my messy room.
It had pictures thrown everywhere, pictures torn, slightly burned. There were also letters ripped. Roses scattered. A bunch of clothes all over my room.
But I was holding on to something. The dog tag. His dog tag.
"He replaced me." I stated as I burst into tears.
"Miles, don't give up, not now!" Taylor said, hugging me.
Standing out in the rain
I need to know if it's over
Cause I will leave you alone
Flooded with all this pain
Knowing that I'll never hold her
Like I did before the storm
The Last Song Movie Premiere.
I was walking down the red carpet with my co-star Liam Hemsworth. Cameras were flashing everywhere I turned.
I promised myself not to cry at this event but someone just have to ruin it.
"Miley, have you heard that 'Nelena' is back? What do you say about that?" One of the paparazzi asked me while taking pictures of me and Liam.
As I heard that, all I could do was smile and let out a fake laugh.
A few minutes later, two certain people were now surrounded by the paps. The guy put a hand to make way from the paparazzi and when they got out; I realized the center of attention was 'Nelena'.
And they kissed for the cameras and in front of the people. And in front of me.
Liam rubbed my back and asked "Are you alright?"
I wiped my tears away and walked inside.
Little did I know, Nick looked at me.
Trying to keep
The lights from going out
And the clouds from ripping out my broken heart
There were new, latest gossips about Nick and his rumored new girl.
Nicole Anderson.
Don't get me wrong, Nicole's a great girl. But right that time, I hated her.
There I was sitting on my bed, crying myself out.
"Miley, get over him." Taylor said, while cleaning up the mess I made at my room.
"Would you look at this? Miley, you're a mess!" she exclaimed, picking up the pictures and letters from him.
"Don't let him break your heart, Miles. He's not worth it."
"Too bad! It's already broken Tay!" I exclaimed, stuffing my face on the pillow.
They always say
A heart is not a whole
Without the one
Who gets you through the storm
"You've been smiling a lot lately. What's up?" my older sister, Brandi asked me as I closed the door behind me.
"Oh she's been with Nick lately." Taylor informed her.
"Oh!" Brandi exclaimed and I hit her with a pillow.
"We've just been hanging out. Writing a song…and stuff."
"Ooh! Writing a song, huh?" the two girls echoed from the room.
"Shut up!" I said then I sighed dreamily.
I thought my heart was going to fixed again. Guess not!
Standing out in the rain
Knowing that it's really over
Please don't leave you alone
Flooded with all this pain
Knowing that I'll never hold you
Like I did before the storm
Like I did before the storm
"And that was Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers on one stage for the first time in 3 years." Katy Perry announced as she walked over to me and gave me a squeeze.
I turned to Nick and smiled at him.
"What? No hug?" Katy asked which started chanting from the crowd.
"We'll see!" I said which thankfully stopped the chant.
"Okay then, give it up for the Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus." Katy said then we took one last bow and ran backstage.
…
"Now that was exhausting!" I said as I slumped on the couch with Taylor and Joe trailing behind me.
Joe was about to kiss Taylor when I interrupted "Woah, could you do that somewhere else?"
They looked at me then exited the room. I walked up to the mirror then started doing my hair.
"Can I talk to you?" I heard someone say. I turned around and saw Nick Jonas standing by the door.
"Sure!" I closed the door behind us then sat on the couch. "What's up?"
"I…Thanks! For…doing this with us." He said nervously.
"No prob. I'll always do a favor for a friend." I said patting him on the back.
"Friend? Oh right, friend!" He said.
"Why aren't we friends?"
"I just thought…we were more than…" he trailed off.
"Nick, we're just friends." I stated, if that was obvious enough.
"Do friends still hug?" He asked me.
"Yeah, I guess so."
He pulled me closer then pulled me into a tight hug.
I never wanted to let go and I was hoping this moment would never end. But my wishes don't really come true.
"Ooh! I see hugging!" Joe just had to interrupt the moment.
"Are you two..?" Taylor started but I immediately shook my head.
"We're friends, Tay." I informed the couple.
"Friends?" Joe asked.
"Friends. Just friends." Nick stated, sounding hurt.
I looked at him but he didn't made eye contact with me.
"I say we ditch this thing." Joe suggested.
We looked at each other then nodded.
"What about Kevin?" I asked my best friend's boyfriend.
"Oh, he's with Dani. So, he'll be fine." Nick said.
"Let's go!" I yelled as I opened the door.
Nick put his arms around me then we continued walking.
Taylor and Joe followed after.
"Are you sure they're just friends?" Joe asked to Taylor from behind us.
"Who knows?" Taylor shrugged.
We both turned around and yelled "We're just friends, you guys."
We turned back around, this time we intertwined hands. I looked over and smiled.
'Your hands in mine, when we're intertwined, everything's alright…' Right now, it feels alright.
We hopped into Joe's convertible then Taylor turned on the radio.
Taylor was in front with Joe which left us at the back.
"LA, LA Baby,
LA, LA Baby…"
Taylor and I started to sing along.
I turned to Nick and smiled at him. He smiled his genuine smile back.
I almost melted in his smile. Once again, he put his arms around me.
I can't help it and as if on impulse, I kissed him on the cheek.
"Just friends, huh?" Taylor said, looking at us which made us both blush.
"For the third time, we're just friends Tay." I shouted at Taylor causing Nick to cover his ears. I simply giggled.
"Well, the year's still long." And with that I hit Taylor's arm pretty hard.
I looked at Nick and gave him the friendliest smile I could give.
And besides like Taylor said "The year's still early."
We maybe just friends but it's so much better than what happened 'during the storm'.
Who knows? There's always gonna be sunshine after every storm.
.the end.
