She can't get out of bed. Every time she tries, she starts to sob again and gets those awful flashbacks. His hurt face, his watery eyes and how his whole body seemed to go defeated by her words. I don't love you. She hates herself for telling him that, because it is so far from the truth and she prides herself on being an honest person when it comes to speaking your mind. Her bed is the only place she can get away, a place she can shut down her brain and enter dreamland, a place where she can take two Advils and fall asleep again until she have to wake up because her stomach is screaming so loud at the loss of food.

It's kind of ironic, the way she is acting at the moment, she's acting exactly like she's done all the times she and Nick broke it off and now it wasn't even as if it was a break up…it was just a talk. Her letting him know what was going on, because no matter of bitter the words feel on her tongue, there isn't a place or time for him in her life anymore. She wants more than anything to be able to hang out with him, text him or talk on the phone occasionally, but she knows that's not going to work. Because one text turns into twenty and a call once a week turn into daily phone sessions, which would have been fine if it wasn't for the fact that she already have someone for that in her life: Liam. He's her best friend now and she loves him, she does, he's sweet, funny and one of the kindest people that she knows. He just isn't Nick, he's just a attempt at a replacement, like any other guy in her life has ever been, the only difference is that with Liam is that it actually works, it doesn't hurt every day and she doesn't think about Nick as often as she used to do. At least not until recently, when all she can see is him and his devastated look when she told him she didn't want him.

She calls the only person who she can talk about it with, the only person who is not going to judge her, even if they haven't talked much lately. She calls Demi, because she is the only person in her life at the moment that she trusts enough and knows her and Nick the best. Demi answers on the second ring, with this sweet but amused voice.

"I was wondering when you were going to call."

"Demi…I don't know what to do." She chokes out, more tears spilling over her cheeks. She hears Demi sigh with compassion before speaking up.

"Listen, I'm about to do an interview now, but I'll come over later and we can talk, okay? Just…everything is going to be okay, Miley, I promise." She sounds so sincere and worried that she can't do anything but nod and whisper a thank you before hanging up.

Demi knocks on her door quicker than expected and when Miley opens the door, she pulls her into a bone crushing hug. Demi reaches down to pick up a box of pizza from the porch and wiggles it in in front of her face, making her stomach grumble loudly.

"I thought so. Let's eat and talk." Demi orders, swiftly walking into her house, leaving the pizza on the counter and working her way around Miley's kitchen like it's her own. She closes the door and paddles tiredly to the counter, sitting down and wanting for Demi to do the same.

"You look like shit." Demi states while opening the box of pizza, making the delicious smell arise in the air. She laughs, dryly and shrugs her shoulder, not knowing what else to say in the situation.

"Though Nick looks worse." Demi then says, making her heart jump in her chest and her pulse to start beating a little quicker than normal. At the mention of his name, her throat dries up and she looks at Demi with expecting eyes, not aware that she'd visited him since he walked out of her life merely a week ago.

"I…how is he?" She tries, weakly, not knowing what else to say.

"Well, considering he just lost the love if his life…pretty good. No, but seriously Miley, the kid loves you more than anyone else ever will, you know that. Also, there isn't any other girl that could tolerate his OCD ways like you do. " She knows all of that, but it doesn't change the fact the he loved her before and it still didn't work out, why would it now?

"I just…do you really think I'm the love of his life, what if he just wants me now because he can't have me? What if he'll just leave me out in the cold, like all those times before? I can't risk that." She finally admits the truth behind her hesitation, even if getting married to Liam is a vital part of the equation, she could if she wanted to break the engagement, even if she would have to put up with a lot of crap from the media and his and her own fans. But she could still do it, but it wouldn't change the fact that they've tried over and over again in the past and it never worked. They fought ugly, they didn't have time to see each other and half of the time they half across the world from each other. She knows that Nick thinks this is his last chance with her, but what if he realizes that he doesn't want her anymore once she gives in?

"Look, I can't speak for Nick's feelings…but if you really love him, I think you owe it to yourself to try, I mean, no one jumps into love because it's easy or safe. Just…don't torture yourself if the only reason is because you're scared." Demi tells her and she nods, not knowing what else to say in the matter. She needs time, a lot of it, even if she knows she doesn't have it, but still, it isn't something you just decide in the matter of a heartbeat. They spend the rest of the night reminiscing on old memories and laughing a lot, which is kind of great, because Demi is a kind of really good person and friend. When Miley goes to bed that night, she thinks about what she wants and lets sleep engulf her thoughts.

When she wakes up the next morning, the first thing she thinks about is Nick. She instantly misses him, which makes her realize that she can't be with Liam and think about some other guy the first thing she does when she wakes up in what's supposed to be their bed. It isn't fair to her and definitely not to Liam, who is so unselfishly kind and nice and patient with her, he deserves the best and that's not her, not for him at least. She reaches for her phone and looks at the calendar, five more days until Liam comes home, five more days until she might do what could easily turn into the biggest mistake of her life.

She can't help but look at Oceanup at least three times a day, just in case he might have changed his mind. But she doesn't see any pictures of Nick and Joe walking out from a club with two girls or any pictures of Nick with that model at Katsuya or something. It makes her feel weird and kind of worried. Why isn't he out, why isn't he fooling around with other girls and why isn't he trying to prove to her that he doesn't give a fuck anymore? That's typical Nick, at least fifteen and seventeen year old Nick had a habit of hooking up with Selena in front of her face every time they broke up or took a break or whatever. It makes her wonder why he hasn't been out and photographed by the paparazzi these last three days, like, is her rejection really affection him that much?

She spends her Thursday morning, two days before Liam comes home, thinking and worrying about Nick. Like what if he isn't careful with his insulin and goes into diabetic chock and what if he is all alone and with no one there to help him or call 911 or-, she creates so many horrible scenarios in her head that before the clock even turns twelve, she's out the door.

Twenty minutes later when she's standing in front of Nick's apartment, she starts feeling a bit foolish, thinking maybe she rushed things a little or, well, a lot. But she's here now, she can't just go back into the car and leave before knowing he's okay, even if he might hate her. Even if he might slam the door in her face. She takes a deep breath and knocks on the door and not surprisingly, it isn't Nick at the door, but his part time roomie: Joe. She swallows, a little scared, not knowing what Joe thinks of her now, him being an older protective brother, probably hates her for hurting his little brother, over and over again. But what he does surprises her, because he steps forward and hugs her, like it's been a really long time since they've seen each other, which it has. God, she misses the Jonas family and how they always come off as so nice to her, even if she thinks she doesn't deserve it.

"Hey Joe…" She whispers, once they let go of each other. He smiles warmly at her, but sighs before opening his mouth.

"I think it's great that you're here to see him, but it'll probably do more harm than good…I'm sorry." The words hit her like a brick wall and her first instinct is to get mad at Joe, who is he to decide for Nick like that, he isn't a little child, but she quickly realize that he isn't trying to be mean, he just wants what's best for his brother and that's why she loves his family so much, because they support each other and stick up for each other in a way no other family she knows does.

"Joe…I'm, uhm, I'm breaking off the engagement when Liam comes home in two days. I just wanted to see him before I do."

"Miley…just come back when and if you really go through with it, he's not going anywhere in the meantime." Joe says, smiling sympathetically but with this new twinkle in his eyes, like maybe, things are working out for the better.

"Oh, okay, just…take care of him? Like make sure he checks his blood sugar and…you know." She says, voice small.

"Of course. And when you come back in two days you can be the one pestering him about if for the rest of your life if you want." He grins in that way only Joe can and squeezes her shoulder before he walks inside and closes the door. She feels as if her heart just dropped down her stomach, knowing the one she wants to be close to forever is just behind a piece of wood and she isn't allowed to see him. The last thing she thinks of when she reverse her car out of the driveway is that two days is nothing. In two days she's doing the scariest thing she's ever had to do, put herself out there in a way she's never had to before and despite all that, she can't wait until those two days have passed so she can see the guy that's held her heart for the last seven years.

Hey again! Thank you all for your AMAZING reviews. :) It was just really nice to see 6(!) reviews in just like three days, I wasn't expecting any or maybe like 1, haha. So yeah, wow, thank you for liking my writing and this story, it really makes a person happy.

So! As you can see I've turned this into a three shot, or it might be a four shot...it's not going to turn into a multiple chapter story, but I felt that with just two chapters everything I wanted to happen would be too rushed so...yeah, hope you like it.

Anyway, I'm sorry for the lack of Miley/Nick interaction in this chapter, it just didn't fit...but I promise you loads of it in the next chapter, which is half written so...reviews will make it come quicker, if you're up for it ;-)

I guess that's all, or well, writing one shots is great but I've been thinking about writing a like 20 chapter story, because it's more fun to write and read than just simple short stories, I just have to come up with something, it would probably be AU in that case, like, non famous.

And last but not least...have a good day/night, wherever you are. :) xx
