Thanks to everyone who read/reviewed my first chapter! I'm really excited about this story! Now that I know people are reading i'll continue to upload! Enjoy!

PS Disclaimer (?) : I own NONE of these people! The only thing I created was the story line.

"Hello?" Miley said, pretending not to know who was on the other line.

"Hey Miley, it's Nick. Look I know this is a little late, but I just wanted to say happy birthday!"

"You remembered" Miley said smiling to herself.

"Of course I remembered, after three years of Miley-style birthday parties its kind of hard to forget. I just didn't have my phone with me for a while. I left my charger-"
"In the hotel?" Miley cut him off. "Typical." Nick laughed.

"You remembered!" he joked.

"Always" she said, a little more seriously now.

"So… Miley the reason I called wasn't just to wish you happy birthday, even though it's a little late for that anyway. I'm actually going to be in Nashville tomorrow to record for a little and I wanted to see you."

"Seriously? You are? That's awesome! What are you recording? And of course we'll see each other"

"Well you're the first person I've told outside my family and record label, but um, I'm working on my own album. As myself, not as a 'Jonas Brother'" he said.

"Oh my god! I'm so proud of you!" Nick laughed on the other end. He always loved that no matter what Miley was doing she could always put someone else's feelings before her own.

"Thanks Mile! Well, I think I'm flying in around 2. Could I maybe stop by and see you for a few hours?"

"Yes! Do it! I miss you!" Miley said, not caring if he knew just how much she really had missed him.

"I've missed you too, pretty girl." Miley's heart felt like it had stopped beating at the sound of his last two words. She hadn't heard Nick say that in a very long time. When they were dating Nick had somehow started calling her "pretty girl." It was stupid, but Miley always fell a little more in love with him every time he would say those words.

"Ill see you at two!" Miley said, still a little surprised.

"Bye" Nick clicked the phone off and stared at it for minute. It was good to talk to Miley again. The months without her in his life had been the hardest time he'd had for quite a while. He continued packing his bag for tomorrow thinking about their last day together.

It was December 12, 2007. They'd gotten into another fight and Miley was sitting on the floor of her hotel room, crying. It hurt him so much to see her like that; especially knowing it was him that had caused it. He knew he couldn't keep doing this to himself. Or to her. It wasn't fair for either of them. He walked over to where she was huddled on the floor. Picking her up off the ground, he looked into her eyes. He sat down on the bed and pulled her next to him. Holding her hand he said,

"Miley. We can't keep doing this. It's too hard. Recently all we do it fight. And you deserve better. You should always be happy. And I can't do that for you anymore."
"No," Miley protested. "No, that's not true. You make me happier than anyone" she choked through her tears. "If I deserve to be happy then I deserve you."

"I'm so sorry. I love you Miley, I do. But that's not enough anymore. Please don't be angry with me. I can't believe I'm actually saying this. Just please know that it's not because I don't care about you. You know I do." Miley looked straight into Nick's eyes. They were both crying at this point. They'd both known it was over for a while, this was just the last straw.

"I just don't understand… I know its over, but I can't stop myself from loving you." With that, Nick stopped trying to hold back his tears. He just stood there crying, Miley in his arms, crying into his chest. He tilted her face upwards, looking into her again. Bending down, his lips met hers as he gently kissed her for the last time. She lifted her arms up and put them around his neck pulling him towards her. Nick was always more timid than she was but now he didn't care. He put his hands on her hips pushing himself into her. He stiffened his body, squeezing her tightly once and then releasing her. He pulled his lips away and put his head next to hers, wanting to keep her close. Taking a deep breath in, he soaked up everything about her in that moment, knowing this could be the last time he would ever be able to hold her like that. Miley looked down and then raised her head to kiss Nick on the cheek. She let go of his hand and took a step away from him, signaling for him to go. Looking at her one last time, he walked out of the room.

Nick finished his packing with the addition of his toothbrush. He'd waited until the next morning to put it in his bag so he could use it before he left the house. He kissed his family goodbye and got into the large black escalade with his bodyguard Big Rob to drive to the airport. Since it was just he and Big Rob flying, they took a public flight and Nick was stopped more than once to take pictures.

When he landed in Nashville he couldn't help but feel a little nervous to see Miley. This was the first time they would be alone together since they were dating. He hoped in wouldn't be awkward or uncomfortable in light of everything that had happened between them. Then again, maybe it wouldn't be awkward because of all the things they'd been through. At this point, there was really nothing Miley could say to make Nick let go. He'd been holding her in his heart since the day they met.

I hope you liked this chapter as much as I liked writing it! I decided to brake this one up into two chapters which is why this one is shorter sorry! Next one is longer I promise!
