Chapter 1

"Daddy, I'm thirsty," a small girl yelled from the comfortable couch in her spacious living room. She was currently watching her favorite movie The Little Mermaid that she had seen more then once. OK she had seen it more then 50 times, but this little girl never tired of it.

Immediately a tall, curly haired man walked into the room, "Sweetheart, what did I say about yelling out to me? It only takes two seconds to walk in and ask me to my face." He smiled at his daughter sitting so small on the large sofa.

"But Ariel is just about to get turned in to a girl daddy, the witch takes her tail," she stated, her eyes widening as if to tell her dad that there was nothing more important in the world and she couldn't possibly move away from the television.

Her father just chuckled and replied, "Sorry I didn't realize I would be interrupting such a crucial moment."

"What's crucial mean daddy?" she retorted. She was always very inquisitive and switched on for a three and a half year old. She was his world, and he couldn't imagine his life without her.

"I'll tell you another day, for the moment what does a big strawberry flavored milkshake sound like?"

Her eyes lit up at the sound of her favorite drink. This, however, didn't make her take her eyes away from the television; she just nodded and motioned for her dad to leave as he was making too much noise.

Entering the kitchen the young man moved swiftly to make the two of them a drink before making his way back to the living room. Slumping down on the couch next to the small person he called Miki, he passed her the drink and wrapped one arm around her shoulders so that she was snuggled into his side. Even though he had also seen this movie more then was necessary in one lifetime, he enjoyed sitting with his daughter doing what she wanted to do. Smiling to himself he allowed himself to relax and just embrace the moment in which it was just him and his daughter, and the world felt right. He valued every second he got to spend time with her.

Nick Jonas, twenty two, lived by himself with his daughter Michaela. It had just been the two of them for the past three years. He had married his high school sweetheart at 18. Being a devoted member of his church it just seemed like the right thing to do. So they rushed in and got married. Two months into their marriage Lauren found herself pregnant.

At the start they were both extremely excited, however as the months past and the reality set in, Lauren began having doubts. She became extremely distant and unhappy. Nick did everything he could think of to make everything OK between them, but the more he tried, the more they would fight. Kind, sensitive and extremely caring are just a few of the words that could describe Nick, so for this to be happening to him was hard for him to deal with.

Eventually the nine month mark hit, and Lauren found herself in labor. Nick rushed her to hospital and 5 hours later their beautiful daughter was born.

The moment Michaela was placed in Nicks arms he felt a great sense of completion. She completed his life, and nothing mattered more to him in the world. Looking into her small face he could tell that she would be something truly amazing.

However Lauren wouldn't even hold her. She refused to let the nurses put her daughter near her. She never tried to breast feed, and never even gave her a kiss. Nick was at a loss at what he was supposed to do. Everyone kept telling him that it would be OK; that she was just scared. So Nick did everything he could for the both of them. They went home after a couple of days without barely a word spoken between the once happy couple.

It only took 2 weeks for Lauren to disappear. The two of them fought a lot, and it was breaking Nick's heart to see his wife in the state she was in. It was even harder for him to see her ignore their beautiful daughter. One night Nick put their Michaela to bed, kissed her forehead and walked back to his bedroom to go to bed himself. As he walked in he noticed the light on in their walk in robe, thinking nothing of it he just undressed and jumped into bed. He had hardly been able to speak to Lauren lately, but that didn't stop him from making an effort.

He called out her name, asking her to come to bed. The only reply he received was to tell him to go to sleep without her; she was planning on watching a movie downstairs. Shrugging his shoulders, and wriggled to get comfortable. It didn't take Nick long to fall asleep knowing he would be up in a number of hours to feed Michaela. As he drifted into sleep he heard Lauren shuffling around, and leave the room.

It 3am Michaela started crying for her parents, as Nick woke to go check on her he realized that Lauren still hadn't come to bed. He checked on his daughter, and picked her up to take her downstairs for some food. He assumed Lauren would be asleep on the couch. She was, however, no where to be seen.

That was the last night that Nick ever saw or heard from Lauren. All he got was a small note explaining that she didn't want the life they had planned anymore. She admitted that she didn't love him, and couldn't cope with not loving her own daughter. Assuming it was best that she just left them to move on with their lives, she had packed her bags and left.

It took Nick a long time to come to terms with what had happened. Having his little Miki made everything OK, and now he couldn't imagine his life without her.

-xox-

Pulling up to his mother's house, Nick jumped out to unbuckle Miki from her seat in the back. They were spending the day with the entire family. Joe, Kevin, Frankie, Denise and Kevin Snr. were all going to be there. This was something that the Jonas family tried to do on a regular occasion. Being a close knit family made life a little easier for Nick. He could always rely on them to be there for him.

"Did you bring my present for Nanny like I asked Daddy," Miki asked as Nick carried her towards the house.

Miki was sitting on Nick's hip, while he held a small bad on the other arm. Swinging it around to show his daughter he replied, "It's in here sweetie, how could I possible forget when you haven't stopped mentioning it for three days?" He tickled her sides, making her squirm.

"Daaaadddddyyyy" she stretched out threw her small laughs.

Smiling at her, they finally reached the door. Nick placed her lightly on the front door step and reached up to ring the doorbell.

Nicks mother Denise greeted them cheerfully at the door and motioned for them to enter.

"Nanny, Nanny, I made you something at day care the other day…dad quickly get it out!" she demanded, jumping up and down with impatience. Nick had said it a million times, and would say it a million times more; his daughter was way too grown up for her ages.

Nick quickly unzipped the bag and withdrew a colorful painting, covered in glitter and confetti. Michaela quickly handed it to her grandmother explaining to her what the picture was about.

"This is me," she explained pointing to a colorful blob of paint on one side of the paper, "And this is daddy," pointing to another blob, "and this is what I think my mommy might have looked like" she stated finally with the innocence of any 3 and a half year old.

Nick immediately stiffened at the mention of Miki's mother, and looked to his own mother for help.

Denise just smiled at her granddaughter, "It's absolutely beautiful, but you didn't give yourself justice, you are way taller then that." Both girls broke into laughter, and Nick relaxed. His mother was always good at situations like this.

Miki didn't mention her mother often, but sometimes depicted her in her art work at child care. What was Nick suppose to tell his daughter? 'Your mother left in the middle of the night because she didn't love us?' of course not. He just avoided the topic as much as possible.

"How about you take this and show your poppy? And I have a feeling your uncles are around here somewhere," Denise spoke to Miki, and immediately Miki ran through the doors heading to the large living area.

"Thanks Mom, I owe you yet again" Nick hugged his mother.

"Anything for you son, I'm always here for you" she replied as she pulled away from him, "Your brothers are waiting for you, let's head in. You have a performance again this weekend so you need to get some practice in."

Making their way through the large house, they soon came face to face with Miki jumping all over her oldest uncle; Kevin.

All of the Jonas brothers were supportive of Nick and his 'situation'. They all absolutely loved Miki and always jumped at the opportunity to see her. They spoilt her rotten since she was the only grandchild, but she was never a spoilt brat. Nick made sure that she valued all her goods, and they often donated her old toys and clothes to a number of charities. At three and a half years old she didn't always understand, but Nick was determined to bring her up the right way, the way he and his brothers had been brought up.

"Hey bro, how are you? What's been happening?" Joe walked through the door to greet his little brother.

"Hey Joe, same as usual, working, watching the little mermaid, you know how it is" he joked.

Joe just sighed, "You need a life Nick, maybe this weekend at our gig you can actually let loose and have some fun?" Joe was always concerned that Nick wasn't living his life enough. He wasn't implying that he should sleep around, or hook up with any random chicks; he just wanted him to allow the idea of getting back out there into his head. Nick deserved to be happy, and even though Miki filled most of Nicks heart, his whole family knew there was still room in there for another love.

Nick punched his brother playfully in the arm, "I've got my girl, that's all I need" he replied with the same answer he gave everything time.

They all sat around, discussing life and their concert. They were a local sensation in a number of pubs around their Californian home, however had never made it any bigger then that. They all had normal jobs, but performed almost every weekend and were often booked out for special occasions such as school dances and birthday parties. They were all very happy in their lives, and Miki was always there to make it a little bit better.

Miley was sitting under a large oak tree on the University grounds when her phone started to ring. Noticing the caller ID she sighed before quickly answering it.

"Hey Mom," she chirped in the happiest voice she could muster.

"Miley, just letting you know your father put that money in your bank, hope that satisfies you for the time being!" her mother replied sternly.

"I appreciate it mother, I promise I will pay you back, I just need to get my car running again," she tried to explain. That was the end of their conversation. Ever since she could remember her and her mother had never gotten on. Of course she loved her mom; they just never had a strong relationship.

She always thought it was because she had such a close relationship with her father, and her mother either resented that or was jealous. It never really bothered her too much, but it was times like this, when her mother would call because Miley needed their help. Her mother always made her feel guilty about needing help.

Sighing, Miley stood up and headed to class.

Miley Stewart, twenty two years old, was a student UCLA studying an art history major. She was in her graduating year, and was happily living with her best friend Lilly. There were lots of aspects of Miley's life that she would have considered perfect. She had great friends, a loving boyfriend, and fabulous grades at uni.

"Miley? Is that you?" Lilly yelled from the small lounge room in their flat.

Miley had been in class all day, and had just arrived home, "yeah it's just me, took me forever to get out of there. The professor kept asking me questions about my research paper that's due in next week. I swear I could write anything and that perv would pass me." She let her steam out briefly as she walked into the room.

Quickly she made her way to the large soft sofa and slumped down on it with another loud sigh. "How was your day Lil's?" she asked kindly.

"Well you may think your professor is a perv, but at least you know your going to pass! I have been sitting here working on this assignment all morning, and I'm so ready to throw my computer out the window. Have I ever told you my computer hates me?" she sighed in a serious tone.

Miley giggled, "oh Lilly so dramatic! Well get up…we are so not sitting around here all night discussing uni, we are going out!"

Miley and Lilly were very good students; however they definitely knew how to party. They loved hanging out at the uni bar or heading out to clubs. Ever since Miley had started dating David, however, she had been much more of a home person, not partying as much. When they did go out however Miley felt it was her duty to find someone for Lily to hook up with.

"I don't know Miley, depends on if you promise me or not!"

"Promise you what?" Miley asked innocently.

"I'm not in the mood for you pushing every single boy in the club in my direction, I've told you a million times, im ok with being single!" Lilly stated quite firmly. She was smart enough to know that if she wasn't firm, Miley would ignore her completely.

Miley just smiled at her best friend, "come on Lil's im not that bad! Plus you know you need…" but she was quickly cut off before she could finish.

"Promise me!"

"Ok, ok I promise I wont try and push every guy in your direction" smirking as she emphasized the word every.

Lilly knew this was a loosing battle, "whatever, I need a shower first anyway!"

At this, both girls stood up and walked towards their rooms. It didn't take long for them to get ready, and in no time they were out the door, heading towards the first club.

Heading into the first club they ordered an apple martini each and sat down at the bar. They were locals to this club, so the bartender knew them by name. Starting up a tab, the liquor was definitely flowing.

After a few martini's the girls were extremely giggly. Miley was sitting with her legs crossed, swinging her top leg flirtatiously and smiling in the direction of a small group of guys. Of course she has a boyfriend, but what's the harm in a little flirting. It didn't take long for them to gain a small audience.

"And then we were like 'ok if you say so'," Miley finished her story to an eruption of laughter. She had been telling the small group about their crazy neighbour. Their new friends had been laughing hysterically at the antics of the two young girls for the past hour or so and were completely in awe of the fun loving girls.

Miley was a born performer, never afraid to be the centre of attention and naturally drew people to her. Lilly had become a different person being friends with Miley, they both enjoyed life and weren't afraid of anything.

"I think it's time for a dance," Lilly suggested.

The two of them immediately jumped up and danced their way to the dance floor. Their fan club followed, and they were all having an extremely fun time. The music was pumping and the club was full, making the atmosphere electric.

As the music raged on, Lilly found herself dancing quite close to one of the guys they had met. Of course this was no surprise to Miley; she would openly admit to anyone that she thought Lilly was gorgeous and that every guy loved her. Lilly could be abit shy around guys sometimes, but once she got into it she was the life of the party. Plus since Miley had a boyfriend it kind of limited what she was aloud to 'get up to' while she was out.

Miley was subtly watching Lilly dance and having the time of her life and realized how good their life was. They worked hard at uni, had solid jobs and new how to have fun. Her life was pretty good.

-xox-

The last person to discuss in Miley's life is of course her boyfriend; David. David was the perfect boyfriend. He always took her out, his shout of course, treated her like a princess and most importantly he was her best friend.

Knock Knock

Miley jumped off the couch to go answer the door. Reaching the large white door she quickly turned the knob. She wasn't surprised to see David standing there, Chinese food in his arms.

"Hey gorgeous, I figured you would be hungry from all that study," he stated leaning in to give her a peck on the lips.

"You are way too good to me," Miley replied, taking the food from his arms to help him out. They both made their way to the kitchen to grab plates and cutlery.

"How was your day?" David asked kindly as they sat down on the couch.

"Why do you even ask? I had uni all day then sat here studying," she stated giving him a weak smile.

"You work way to hard baby"

"How was your day?"

"Haha I had uni this morning as you know, then I just chilled with my bro at my house avoiding study like always" he said with a large smile on his face. He was very proud of being the best procrastinator in the entire world.

Miley just laughed at him, "let me guess, you played your Xbox?"

"Of course, I still haven't cracked that new game" he replied as if it was the most important thing he had to do all week.

Miley just continued to laugh at her boyfriend, he was such a boy!

They sat on different couches, watching TV. This was their usual arrangement when they hung out at home. They occasionally chatted about something, but were generally happy just sitting in each others company.

"Did you remember about the music festival next weekend?" Miley asked remembering herself that she needed to confirm this with him.

"I told you Miles, I promised my brother I would help him with his car, sorry baby. You should just give my ticket to Lilly I'm sure she will go with you." He apologized.

Miley was definitely disappointed, but wasn't going to let it show, "She will absolutely die when she finds out; she missed out on tickets when they came on sale."

"See I'm just looking out for her," he joked.

They returned to their comfortable silence in their own space in the room. So I know I said he was the perfect boyfriend, but for David and Miley this casual nature of their relationship was ok. They weren't big snugglers or smoochy types of people. David just assumed that's just how their relationship was, that's how they worked; however it often upset Miley.

She wanted someone she could cuddle up to, but she never let it show. To her they were more like friends who kissed occasionally on greeting or made out when they were drunk, but she loved him and had never had a long term boyfriend before so just assumed that's how things were supposed to be.

It was one thing to think the way she did…to question their relationship, but Miley never shared these thoughts with anyone, not even Lilly.

-xox-

"Hey Lilly can I come in?" Miley asked, knocking on her bedroom door.

After a moment of shuffling Lilly finally replied, "Sure Miles"

As Miley entered the room she saw something she definitely wasn't expecting. Lily was sitting awkwardly on the edge of her bed and a boy was sitting across the room at her desk. Miley couldn't help but laugh at how guilty they both looked. It was as if they had just been sprung by their parents. Lilly's face instantly turned read.

All Miley could do was continue to laugh.

"What do you want Miles?" Lilly eventually asked feeling more embarrassed then ever.

"Well...introduce me!" Miley demanded.

"Oh, yeah, this is Josh, you remember from the club the other night?"

Miley's eyes lit up, "how could I forget?" continuing to giggle she also added, "You know I'm not your mother, why the red faces?" Of course she was just teasing them now.

"Maybe I should leave?" ah he speaks; Miley was starting to think he wasn't real.

Josh stood up and started walking towards the door, "I'll walk you out" Lilly quickly joined him.

After a few short laughs and a long kiss goodbye, Lilly finally made her way back to her room. Miley was eagerly awaiting her return, sitting comfortably on her bed.

"Thanx a lot Miley," Lilly smirked, leaning against the door frame.

"Anytime! How did I not know he was here? And what exactly were you two up to?" Miley inquired.

Again Lilly blushed, "you were busy in the shower when he turned up and if you must know we were just talking"

"Come on Lil's, I wasn't born yesterday, he's cute!"

"Yeh, but you know me, it won't last long. Guys are like allergic to me" Lilly's face instantly fell. All giggliness disappeared.

"Don't say that, you just haven't found Mr. Right yet." Miley made her way over to Lilly engulfing her in a hug. She hated the way her friend doubted herself.

"Yeh, we aren't all as lucky as you!" she looked at Miley, smiling.

Miley scoffed at this remark, "whatever" Her reaction came before she could even think about what she was doing. As soon as the simple little word left her mouth she knew she has said too much. She was now in for a million questions.

Lilly's eyes narrowed, "What do you mean by that Miles?" her voice full of concern.

"Nothing, forget I just did that" Miley pleaded, hoping to god Lilly would just move on. She turned and made her way back to the bed, sitting down looking at her hands.

Lilly of course would never give up that easily, "Is everything ok with you and David?" she asked.

Sighing, Miley thought she may as well get it over with, "well you've known Josh for what? A day? And you have already probably snuggled more then me and David have in the entire 6 months we've been together."

Lilly started to say something, but Miley continued, "and don't even try to tell me you guys weren't snuggling and being all smoochy in here," she laughed, knowing Lilly was going to deny it. "I just feel that a couple should be like that, but me and David…well we just act like friends."

"Oh Miles, where's this coming from? I've never heard you talk like this about your relationship before?" Lilly felt bad for Miley all of a sudden.

"It's nothing I should be happy someone loves me! I could never hurt him by telling him how I feel"

"So you would sacrifice your own happiness to make sure he is happy!?" Lilly was shocked at what was coming out o her best friend's mouth.

"I never said I wasn't happy, I just sometimes want….more" the last words came out so softly Lilly could barely hear them.

Lilly could tell Miley didn't want to talk about this anymore so just simply finished it with "just remember that life is allowed to be about you sometimes!" As she finished her statement, she walked over to where Miley was now sitting and sat next to her. Slapping her knee she tried to improve the situation, "So this wasn't why you wanted to talk to me?"

Miley looked up at her friend, giving her a weak smile, "David is busy next weekend for the music festival, you want his ticket?" This didn't exactly help the situation as Miley was still a little sad that David didn't want to do with her.

However Lilly was more then excited, she had tried for days to get tickets online, but was always outbid for the ones on eBay. She instantly hugged Miley, knocking her over. The girls were now both lying on the bed laughing, "Of course I will come Miley…you're the best ever. And trust me; you will have more fun with me!"

Miley smiled at this, "you know…your right…we will have a blast! No one to worry about but myself right?" she offered encouragingly.

"You got it girl! Now what are we going to wear! Eeeeppp…we need to go shopping!"

They both sat discussing their plans, and deciding when they were to go shopping for the perfect outfit. Miley felt better now that Lilly knew her true feelings, and was surprised at how much lighter she felt. They were feelings she had been carrying around with her for a few weeks and was glad she now had someone to confide in about them. Her job now was to sort out her feelings and decide what she was going to do.
