NEED A LITTLE LOVE

Chapter 2: Put your worries in my pocket

Put you worries in my pocket
I got a key so we can lock it
I swear that I won't let them escape


Miley POV

I'm sitting under a tree outside our school, totally feeling lonely. I was crying and hurting because of what happened in my Music class earlier.

Flashback:

I entered the music room and watched as my classmates rehearse their pieces for some recital thingy that Mr. Grey required us to do. Of course, I don't have anything in mind. I smiled as I approached Demi and Lily singing some song they both composed together. These two totally have THE voice. They're awesome. Demi's strumming the guitar like a professional and both we're lost in their worlds as they sang their heart out. I sat on the vacant seat beside them. They both smiled at me as they continued singing. I just listened and smiled at how great they sound. I hugged both of them after they finished singing.

"Are you sure you don't wanna sing with us?" -Demi

"No, I'm gonna be fine…" -Miley

"Sure?" -Lily

"Yes." -Miley

Mr. Grey went inside the room and everybody seemed nervous. He said some introduction and I was lost in thoughts until I heard my name. I saw Mr. Grey looking at me with lots of expectations.

"What?" -Miley

"You're first, Miley." -Nick

"I don't have something to sing." -Miley

"You can play any musical instrument if you want. You don't have to sing." -Nick

"I don't have something to perform… " -Miley

"You're here to learn, Miss Stewart. You won't pass my subject if you won't perform and try to express yourself. You don't have to be good enough to be able to perform; you just have to express yourself." -Nick

I bit my lip and felt my heart race. Then my feelings bursted.

"I don't wanna perform!" -Miley

I admit that my voice rose up a bit.

"You don't talk to your teacher in that tone, miss Stewart." -Nick

"I don't want to perform! I hate music! I hate this class! I hate you!" -Miley exclaimed

"Well, in my class, everyone has to perform. If you don't want to participate, you don't have to be here. We don't want you here if you won't participate." -Nick

"We don't want you here. We don't want you here. We don't want you. We don't want you. We don't want you. I don't want you. I don't want you." Those sentences repeated mentally in her head. Tears fell from her blue eyes. She felt rejected again, like she's worthless in this world. With that, she bolted out of the room with tears in her eyes… away from everything.

End Flashback

No one wants me. No one loves me. I pulled my jacket tighter around me. I know it's so cold here outside, but I just couldn't move from this position. It's like, as if I've gotten so weak. Tears never stopped escaping from my eyes. I was like, crying for more than an hour. I can't help but feel rejected again. I turned on my I pod and my favorite song came out, the one that I recorded few years ago. It was kinda crappy. Just the sound of my voice with me playing the guitar and I can't help but sing the lyrics from my heart.

It's been in the past for a while
I get a flash and I smile
Am I crazy
Still miss you, baby
It was real
It was right
But it burned too hot to survive
All that's left is,
All these ashes

Nick POV

I can't forget that incident with Miley earlier. I didn't know if what I've said was too much. I was caught a little off guard. I don't know why Miley hates music but I'm pretty sure she has a good reason.

I was walking on the parking lot on my way to the school building. About 10 steps before I reach the entrance, I heard a beautiful voice, singing a song that's unfamiliar to me.

In a dream, you appear
For a while, you were here
So I keep sleeping,
Just to keep you with me
I'll draw a map,
Connect the dots
With all the memories that I got
What I'm missing,
I'll keep reliving

It's a voice of a girl. I can tell that she wrote the song and I can feel that she's singing from the heart. I listened to the voice and followed it. Who I've found wasn't who I was expecting. There, I saw Miley Stewart lying on the grass under a tree with her eyes closed and her earphones plugged in her ears as she sang her heart out. I smiled at my stubborn student. I knew she had it in her. I stared at her and listened at her beautiful voice.

Where does love go
I don't know
When it's all set and done
How could I be losing you forever,
After all the time we spent together
I have to know why I had to lose you
Now you've just become like everything
I'll never find again
At the bottom of the ocean

I can't help but feel guilty when I saw the trace of dry tears on her cheeks but she looks gorgeous as ever. I instantly fell in love with her incomparable voice. It's one of a kind. It's unique. It's Miley Stewart. I silently sat beside her without disturbing her.

You don't have to love me for me
To baby ever understand
Just know I love the time we both had
And I don't ever want to see you sad
Be happy
And I don't wanna hold you
If you don't wanna tell me you love me babe
Just know I'm gonna have to walk away
I'll be big enough for both of us to say
Be happy

She just sang until the end of the song as I sat there watching this incredible creature in front of me. She finally opened her eyes and her eyes opened wide when she saw me beside her lying figure. I smirked at her as she sat upright, facing me.

"You really have a beautiful voice." -Nick

She bit her lip.

"What are you doing here?" -Miley asked

"I'm sorry. It was very immature of me to judge my students. I just don't get why you hate music. Why you hate me. But as what I've seen and heard earlier, it seems like it has a big reason." -Nick apologized

Miley bit her lip. I'm noticing that she does that when she gets nervous.

"You don't know me... " -Miley

"That's why I'm here. I want to know you. I want to know why you hate music so much, so that I could understand you." -Nick

I watched her, she seemed totally hesitant. She was confused and I know that what she's holding back had totally damaged her whole life.
