A/N- I'm so sad =( Only one person reviewed so thanks achievergurl07! Okay, here's the next chapter.

Disclaimer: Still don't own anything.

The Night Before

Nick woke up with someone shaking him. He opened his eyes and saw his mom smiling down at him.

"Mom?" Nick asked as he wiped his eyes. "Why are you waking me up at... 2 am?!" He looked at the clock as his eyes went wide.

"Honey, I'm sorry for waking you." Nick's mom said regretfully. "But I needed to tell this to my best friend."

Nick and his mom were very close. They were each others best friends. He was a total mommy's boy. He loved his mom more than anything ever since his father died. Nick winced at the thought and asked, "Alright, what is it?"

"Nick... Billy Ray asked me to marry him." Nick's mom said proudly as she held out the ring towards him. "We're getting married Nick!"

She looked towards her son, wondering what his reaction would be.

Nick's face had turned completely white. He had to make sure that he heard his Mom right.

"You're... what?" Nick tried not to yell at his mom. After all, pretty much only her and Joe, his best friend and brother, was all he even had.

"We're getting married! Honey, isn't this great?" Nick's mom, Denise, didn't notice Nick's face was white and was slowly turning red with anger.

"MOM, HOW COULD YOU?" Nick couldn't take it anymore. He yelled at her. "I MEAN, I KNEW YOU LIKED BILLY, BUT SERIOUSLY?! MARRYING HIM, MOM?!"

Denise looked at her son confusingly. She thought he would have been happy for her. Apparently, she was wrong. "Nick, I think you're being a little too over dramatic about this..."

"No Mom! NO, I'M NOT! ARE YOU SERIOUS?! I NEVER EVEN MET THIS GUY, AND YET YOU ARE GOING TO FREAKING MARRY HIM? PLEASE TELL ME THIS IS A JOKE. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD TRY TO..." Nick's yelling was interrupted by Joe walking through the door, rubbing his eyes.

"Aye Nickster, Momster, what's going on?" Joe was trying to brighten up the mood, but apparently it wasn't working.

Nick took this time to finish his sentence. "Replace my Dad like that." and with that sentence, Nick ran down the stairs and headed toward the door.

Denise ran down the stairs and asked, "Where do you think you're going?!"

"Out." Nick opened the garage, got into his car, and drove out the driveway.

With Joe and Denise

"Mom, what was that about...?" Joe asked as he comforted his Mom, who was crying.

"I don't know... I told him that Billy Ray and I are getting married and he just... blew up." Denise sobbed.

"Really? Mom, that's awesome." Joe hugged Denise. "Look, Nick just... Nick still isn't over Dad, Mom. He'll cool down. He just needs some time to think." Joe rubbed his Denise's back. "He'll be back in a few, I hope."

Joe and Denise walked back to their rooms.

Nick's P.O.V

What the heck is Mom thinking?! I was driving around town, and I still couldn't believe it.

Mom was getting married to a guy I never even met! I've never even talked to him, or had contact with him what-so-ever. How could she do that? Did she really think she could just replace my Dad like that?!

I turned on a street, and drove to the way end.

Looking up at a white, two story house, there was a window with blue curtains. It was Miley Stewart's window, my first love's window.

How much I miss her... I really screwed up. I stopped the car at the end of the street and just sat there, not knowing what to do.

Flashback

No One's P.O.V.

Miley was confused. She had just woken up, and checked her phone. No missed phone calls, or text messages, from her boyfriend, Nick Lucas. That was weird of him. Usually when she woke up, she would have at least a text message or two from him. Oh well, she thought. He has to pick her up for school anyways.

Miley walked up to her closet and pulled out ripped skinny jeans, a light green tank top, Nick's leather jacket he gave her, and black converse. She left those in the bathroom while she took a shower.

She got out, brushed her teeth, straightened her hair, and put on her clothes. She went back to her cell phone and checked.

Nothing.

No phone call, no text, no nothing.

Miley was getting really irritated now. Was something wrong? Miley decided she would call him after she ate breakfast, since he was her ride to school.

She got into the kitchen, grabbed a bagel, put some butter on it, and ate it.

She then got her back pack and sat on the couch.

"I'm going to call Nick." She thought.

She pressed his speed dial number, and heard it ring twice. Nick then answered.

"Hey Miley..." Nick said, barely audible.

"Hey Nick, are you still coming to pick me up?" Miley asked.

"Miley, I'm sorry... I can't today. I'm not going to school." Nick said, whispering.

"What? Why? Nick, is something wrong?" Miley asked, concerned for her boyfriend. He didn't seem himself.

"CAN YOU STOP NAGGING ME AND JUST LEAVE ME ALONE?" Nick yelled into the phone, and hung up.

Miley couldn't believe what just happened. Why was Nick acting like such a jerk? All she did was ask if he was okay!

"Fine," Miley thought, "If that's how he wants it, then fine."

Miley went to her Dad, who was in the back yard and asked if he could drop her off to school.

"I thought you wanted to walk?" Billy Ray asked. He had no clue Nick was picking her up from school now a days. Infact, he didn't even know Nick existed.

"Yeah, well... Today I'm supposed to get there early, and I won't get there early enough if I walk." Miley lied straight to her Dad's face.

"Alright, let's go." Billy Ray got his keys off the counter, and walked out as Miley followed him.

After School

Miley's P.O.V.

School sucked without Nick. Usually he's there, and I could look at him all day, while he walks me to my classes.

No one knew they were going out except for Lilly and Joe, the rest thought they were just best friends, but some suspected it.

I can't believe that Nick would say something like that to me. Usually, he's sweet and polite.

I knew something had to be wrong because even Joe was absent from school today, and that really scared me. I think I should go check on both of them...

So, I ran over to Nick's house, which was about a 20 minute walk from where I was. I don't care. I need to see Nick right now, so I ran.

Instead of a 20 minute walk, it took me a 10 minute run to get to his place.

I walked up casually to the door, and rang the doorbell.

No one answered.

I ran the doorbell again.

Still no answer.

What the? Where could they be...

Suddenly, I heard a crash. It sounded like a bottle, a glass bottle, crashing against the floor.

That's when I started to get even more worried, and started banging on the door.

"Hello?! I know somebody's in there!" I yelled.

I kept banging on the door, and then right in the middle of my banging, Nick opened the door.

I was shocked at what I was seeing. Nick was standing, right infront of me, holding onto his door for support. In his hands, was a large beer bottle, almost empty.

I yasped. "Did you DRINK all of that, Nicholas?!" I used his full (first) name. I can't believe he's drinking! But why?

"Hells yeeeah Miley Wiley! I diiid! You goooootsa problemo?" Nick slurred.

I grabbed the beer bottle out of Nick's hands. "You drank all of this?!"

Nick reached out, "Heeey! Give it baaack! It's mine! Mine, MINE, MINE! Get your own beer!"

"Nick, how many beers did you drink?!" I asked. Only I didn't have to.

Behind him, I saw a bunch of glass on the floor. I pushed him aside and walked into his kitchen. I had to watch my step. A whole bunch of brownish glass was scattered all over the floor. I looked at the kitchen counter and saw 2 packs of beer bottles, each that should have held 6 bottles. One was empty.

"You drank SIX BEERS?!" I was nearly in tears. I never knew he drank...

"Hells nooo! I threw away the other paaack earlier!" Nick was wobbling from one side to the other.

"YOU DRANK TWELVE BEERS?!" I said. I was ready to slap him.

"Maybe I..." Nick wasn't able to finish his sentence. With that, he collapsed.

No one's P.O.V.

Miley was in the waiting room, waiting for news of Nick.

Miley had driven Nick to the hospital after he had collapsed, and had been waiting here for about six hours.

While waiting, she called her Dad, and said Lilly was in the hospital. Dad asked if he should be there, Miley made an excuse saying it was okay, Lilly's parents were there, and that it was just a sprained arm. Miley also said that she would just stay here with Lilly.

Another lie Miley told to her Dad, just for Nick. She was so tired of hiding their love, but she knew what the consequences would be...

"Miley Stewart?" The doctor called out, looking down at a clipboard.

"Yes doctor, that's me." Miley stood up from the chair she was sitting in.

"Well apparently, you came with him just in time. He had an overdose of alcohol in his system... I believe that he is under age?" The doctor questioned.

Miley's palms got sweaty, she didn't know what to do. "Yes, he is under age. I don't know what happened..." She said truthfully.

"Alright, well I believe that we need to contact his parents?" The doctor told her.

"Oh, right, well I think you're going to have to ask him that. I don't know his parent's. I just found him in his house, drunk." Miley said, a small tear coming down her face at the memory.

"Okay, well I will go ask him the information about his parent's later on. I believe you would want to see him? He's awake." The doctor said that, and then walked away.

Miley took a deep breath, and then walked into Nick's room.

When Nick saw Miley walk in, his gave her a small smile.

Miley gave him a small smile back.

"Miles..." Nick opened his arms, and Miley ran right into them.

"Nick... oh my gosh, I was so scared." Miley broke down crying.

"Well, I'm okay now." Nick said, pulled back. He wiped her tears with his thumb.

"Nick... how could you... drink?" Miley removed Nick's embrace.

"Miley, look I..." Nick got interrupted.

"No excuses Nick, how could you have drank? And most of all, not have told me?" Miley started to cry again.

"Miley, listen..."

"No, YOU listen Nick. I'm sorry, but... I don't think we should be together anymore..."

"WHAT?! Miley, please don't do this!"

"Nick... I have to... I can't take a guy who... gets drunk...you could have died Nick. You know that?" Miley was in tears, and so was Nick.

"Miley, please... just let me explain..." Nick voice was above a whisper.

"And you know what? I hate having to hide that we're dating too... but I guess... I guess, now we won't have to..." Miley was walking back towards the door.

"Miles... what are you saying?" Nick's voice was barely audible.

"I'm saying good bye Nick." Miley said. She couldn't believe that she just broke up with the love of her life, but she just couldn't take it.

She walked out the door. All she heard was the doctor saying, "Nick, may I have your Mom or Dad's number?" and I heard Nick's crying after the word Dad.

Later on, the next day, Miley found out Nick's father had died in a car crash two nights ago. She felt bad, but he was drinking... She needed to do what was done, no matter how much it hurt.

END OF FLASHBACK

Nick realized that he was crying. He decided that he should go home. He took one look at Miley's window, once more. She had her light on, and he could see her shadow on the window. He let more tears escape and drove back home.
