Sing Your Heart Out – Chapter 1

Miley's P.O.V

The heavy rain started splattering against the window making it impossible for anybody to sleep through it. As the window frame shook from the boisterous wind of England I sighed and sat up in bed. It was only 6am and as usual fate seemed to mess with my plans. So much for a lie-in before I had to say goodbye to my childhood friends and begin the 4-hour journey back to school.

The summer holidays had been so amazing. Endless days with my best friends Lily and Oliver hanging out, watching movies, shopping and just enjoying being with them. But now I guess its time for it all to end. I mean I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to go to such a great school like Hartbridge and I'm lucky that my Dad wants to send me there and I do have great friends there, it's just I wish Lily and Oliver went there too.

I hauled myself out of bed and softly padded across my bedroom to the bathroom – just because I'm awake doesn't mean I have to wake up my Dad. We're not like most families - my Mum died when I was young leaving just Dad, my older brother Jackson and me. Now that Jackson's started at university the house just feels weird and empty all the time. I'm looking forward to going back to a shared room that automatically comes with noise and friendliness.

I stepped in the shower and let the cool water relax me while I thought about the next few months at Hartbridge with my friends Demi and Taylor, hopefully filled with fun and not much stress. I washed my hair and stepped out of the shower rubbing myself dry and stepping into a pair of light skinny jeans and a navy and white striped vest.

I grabbed my laptop and flopped onto my sofa, quickly signing onto my msn. As I guessed Taylor and Mitxhie were already on, probably chattering excitedly about the new term at Hartbridge.

Mitchie: Hey Mileeeeez

Taylor: Hiiiiiiii!!

Miley: Hey guys. How much sugar have you been eating?

Mitchie: Haha you're so funny. Actually I've had none I'm just super excited to be going back to school so we can be back together again.

Taylor: Oh my gosh, we're going to be there in a matter of hours. Miley when are you setting off?

Miley: I guess in a few hours. Dad wants to be there for 2pm so he can meet his friend after he's made sure I'm all settled in.

Taylor: It's a shame you live further away than us. I'm going to be there at 12. But Shane promised he'd be there to hang out with me for a bit.

Mitchie: Ooooh Taylor and Shane sitting in a tree K I S S I N G

Taylor: Shut up!

Miley: Lol! First comes a date then comes a kiss then comes romance at Hartbridge. Okay, that was a bit rubbish but oh well you catch my drift. Anyway, I'm going to go and pack. My Dad's done his super long checklist for me to follow and he's actually drawn boxes for me to tick one by one!

Mitchie: Haha, good luck with that. Byeeee x

Taylor: Bye Smiley Miley x

As I glanced at the list my dad has spent hours labouring over I groaned with despair and made a mental note to do my packing earlier next time. I dragged my suitcase out from under the bed and piled all my shoes into the bottom as neatly as I possibly could and then carefully folded my clothes and placed them in the case. By 8am I was finished packing and was confident that I was all set to go. My travel bag was crammed full with sweets, magazines, my phone, Ipod and all my necessities.

"Miley! Come downstairs I've made pancakes. Your favourite!" Dad called.

At the sound of this I stumbled down the stairs as fast as I could and was sat at the breakfast table before my Dad could even say good morning.

"That's my girl. But I think you've forgotten you don't have to race Jackson down here Miles." Dad said with a light chuckle.

"Nope, I definitely remembered. I'm just hungry after all the packing and I'm excited to be going back to Hartbridge with Mitchie and Taylor."

"Miley! Slow down with the sugar. I can't bear 4 hours stuck in a car with a hyperactive teenage girl."

I laughed happily and began to eat my pancakes Nothing could possibly change my happy mood. In a few hours we'd be hitting the road with music blasting out of the radio with the prospect of seeing my BFF's. Could the day get any better?

Nate's P.O.V

"Nate! For god's sake you fat lump get out of your bed before I pull you out and trust me you don't want to make me mad right now."

I groaned heavily as I rolled over and tried my best attempt to block out the pest I commonly call my older brother Shane. Could the morning start any worse?

"GO AWAY! You're so annoying. Why do I even need to get up? Dad said he was taking us up to school this evening so Mum could meet up with her friends. Chill out." I almost screamed at him. Yeah okay maybe it's not exactly called for but it's the only way to get it into his thick skull to get the hell out.

"Ugh! Your so self-absorbed and such a jerk face. I bet you couldn't drag yourself away from another slut's lips to bother listening to Mum. She clearly told us last night that there was a change of plans because one of her friends is busy today. So get your lazy backside out of bed, we're leaving in an hour."

Shane left my room with a big smirk plastered on his face. I threw my pillow at him but all I heard was it colliding with the door. Damn, must have missed him.

"Stupid goody two shoes – always knows best and does the right things." I muttered to myself as I rushed a cold shower.

So maybe I'm over exaggerating. He's not exactly what you'd call a goody two shoes from what he's like with his friends but he's such a suck-up with Mum and Dad. My older brother Kevin's just as bad. Am I the only one of my brothers with a life? Except from my younger brother Frankie. But a ten year old doesn't count.

I ran downstairs and with perfect timing stole Shane's toast, grabbed a plate and started to sprint back up the stairs.

"Nate wait a second honey. Just to remind you we're leaving in an hour and we can't be late. Shane's promised his friend, Taylor, that he'll be there earlier on so she's not alone." Mum called up the stairs to me.

"Yeah that's fine" I began rolling my eyes at my mum's attempts to have a mother-son chat with me. "Wait! Did you just say we're going early because Shane wants to get there to see Taylor? Haha Shane's got a crush on Taylor Swift. Bro I thought you'd got better taste – she's a nerd like those friends of hers."

"Miley and Mitchie are not geeks. Just because you think that if girls aren't into cheerleading or dancing they're not suitable to hang out with. Well your wrong. All three of them are beautiful and one day you'll realise that too late." Shane burst going red with anger.

"Chill dude." I muttered and crept upstairs. I'd never seen Shane so angry. Although I honestly do not see why a football player/ potential ladies man like him would waste his time with girls like them. Whatever, I'm not going to waste another second of my life thinking about losers.

Okay so here's another chapter but for me it's totally crap but whatever i just felt bad because i've had a few reviews and it's my half term and i've hardly spent any time on it. So yeah i attempted the Nate's P.O.V tonight but i doubt it's any good because i've been on a big day out and i'm pretty tired. And i know the chapter might seem a bit pointless but i'm just trying to show the differences between Nate and Miley and also a few of their characteristics.

Something big i want you to answer in your reviews is should i keep writing it like this with their different points of views which would mostly be Miley as she's going to be the one with the most emotions but occasionally Nate. Or do you want it wrote as if i'm just an on-looker describing what is going on? I'm going to leave it up to you guys because you have to read it.

Please please please review because i'm so gonna fail at this if i don't get people's opinions and advice. If you think any part of this was rubbish tell me :)

I'd like as many reviews as possible before i update so i can use what you say to help me. I'll try to get a new chapter out asap but tomorrow i've got plans with my best friend, saturday i have work and then a halloween party but sunday is a possibility depending on the reviews i get.

Thanks everyone x
