A/N: OK, before I start, let me just say something. If you don't like it, then don't read it. If you don't like it, don't review it. Because I don't want to hear the bad reviews. They mean nothing to me. I only care about the good reviews. So if you have something bad to say about my stories, then keep it to yourself, because I don't give a **** about what you say. Got it? I only care about the good comments, and with vocabulary I actually understand instead of a paragraph of a review that looks like you got it out of book from the 1800's or from a dictionary or something. So haters, leave me alone or don't read it, got that? Thank you to the people who left really nice reviews!!! I know I'm not the best at spelling, and my grammar and punctuation isn't the best, but we all have our weak points in writing. Nobody's perfect. Grammar, punctuation and spelling are my weak points. So if you have a problem with the way I write, don't read and don't review. I hope nobody misunderstood that and thought I hated the person who left the not-so-nice review. I'd never hate anybody. I just got a bit upset and I was venting my anger. I'm sorry if I offended anyone by that.
Love Story.
Chapter 3.
That afternoon, in study hall, Miley didn't show up. She was in a broom cupboard, explaining to Mikayla and Lily everything about Nick, and the reasons why she loved him.
"Why do you love him again? I mean, for the past 5 years, he's been nothing but a jerk to us," Lilly said, and Miley smiled lightly and shrugged.
"It's the way he smiles. The way he looks at me when he says he loves me. The way he kisses me. The way he always makes my knees buckle and my heart melt when I see him. The way he calls me 30 seconds after I last saw him to make sure that I'm making it home okay. They way he calls me his princess, and his Smiley Miley. I love the way he says he loves me at least 5 times a day. I love the way he calls me, even when he's busy. I love every single detail about him," Miley said and smiled, and Lilly smiled.
"What's his personality like?" Mikayla asked curiously, and sat down on an upturned bucket and leaning against the cold concrete wall.
"He's caring, sweet, funny, smart, kind, generous, he would do anything for me, he's athletic as you may know. And he loves me the way I love him. With all my heart," Miley said and smiled.
"He loves you for you, right?" Lilly asked with a slight smile on her face.
"Yeah. I asked him two days ago why he loved me. He said it was because I made his heart melt every single time I walked past him. The way I laughed. The way I'm a perfectionist. The way I flip my hair over my shoulder when I'm in a good mood. The way I bite my nails when I'm nervous. He loves me the way I've always dreamt of being loved. I love him with my whole heart, and he loves me right back, guys," Miley said and smiled.
"How does he kiss?" Mikayla asked and giggled.
"He's AMAZING! Whenever he's about to kiss me, he always puts his arms around my waist, or brushes hair out of my face. I remember when he first kissed me, it was right after he said he loved me. About a month after we started dating. I loved every moment of it. I remember I just wanted time to stop, and for me and Nick to be kissing for the rest of time. But sadly, it ended. And I've loved every moment, every kiss from Nick, all of it, for the last 2 years," Miley said.
"Aw. Miley, tell Nick to come to my house after cheer practice today," Lilly said, and Miley looked at her with a confused expression on her face.
"Why?" she asked. Lilly giggled.
"Miley, he's my best friend's boyfriend. I want to have a word with him. Just tell him," Lilly said and left, leaving Miley and Mikayla.
"Promise me that this won't change anything between us and Lilly and the guys. Please promise me that everything will be OK, even when you're with Nick, or ditching us for him, or whatever it may be. Just promise that it'll all be the same," Mikayla said, and Miley nodded and hugged her.
"I promise," she whispered and smiled.

Miley was sitting on the stands at the football field, warming up so they could begin cheer practice, when the football team walked on, and Miley glanced up to see Nick throwing a ball to Justin while talking to Kevin, and she smiled slightly before reaching down again and touching her toes.
"Miles! Come down here!" Mikayla called, and Miley ran down to Mikayla and Emily, and when she looked at Nick again, she noticed him staring at her. She was wearing short shorts and a tank top. She giggled to herself and looked at her squad and smiled at them.
"OK, you guys, we've got 3 weeks until the national cheer finals. I'm proud of you guys. You all played a part in getting us there. So today, we're all going to work on the pyramid, and how we come down from that. So let's start," Miley said, and signalled for Lilly to start the music. 'Don't Stop The Music' by Rihanna came on and the girls quickly formed their pyramid before coming down and performing their routine.
LS***LS***LS***LS***LS***LS
Nick threw the ball to Justin and Kevin was talking to him, until suddenly he stopped talking, and Justin didn't throw the ball back to Nick. Instead, they were both staring at the cheerleading squad behind Nick, so Nick turned and his jaw dropped when he saw the routine Miley had choreographed.
He knew that Miley had dedicated her life to dancing and cheerleading since she was a kid. He knew that her dad never let her miss a dance lesson or a session of cheer practice, because he knew that dancing was where her future lay.
Soon, Nick couldn't hear the music, and he couldn't see anything but Miley performing with a smile on her face. Dancing or cheering was what made her happiest. She had once told Nick that when she was doing either, all her worries and fears just disappeared and all she focused on was getting the routine right.
"Nick?" Joe called over, and he and Troy ran over.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Nick asked, and looked away from Miley reluctantly.
"Dude, you were staring at ... her. That b-" Troy began, but Kevin cut him off.
"Language," he said. Honestly, he knew something about Nick and Miley, although Nick and Miley didn't know that he did. One night, he had seen them kissing on the beach, and he had walked away and never told Nick he knew. He always stood up for Nick when one of their friends was about to say something bad about Miley, because he knew how tense he would get.
"Kevin, a word, please?!" Nick asked and dragged Kevin away.
"Yes, Nicholas?" Kevin asked sweetly.
"What the hell is with you lately? Whenever someone's about to say something about her when I'm around, you stop them. You never did until about a month ago. Why?" Nick asked, pretending that he hated Miley.
"Nick, I think there's something you should know. One night, I was taking a walk along the beach. And I saw you and Miley. Kissing. Like you were together. So tell me something, Nick. Are you dating her?" Kevin asked and Nick's eyes widened.
"Kev, I can explain that," he said frantically, but Kevin shook his head.
"Nicholas, that's not what I asked. Are you dating Miley or not?" Kevin snapped, and Nick looked down.
"Maybe," he muttered.
"Nick, what are you getting yourself into? Justin, Joe and Troy hate Miley, and she and her friends hate them. Mom and Dad told us to never speak to a member of the Stewart family ever again. I remember her brother and I used to be good friends when we were about 6, but then one day, we were told we weren't allowed to see each other. Do you really want your heart broken when Mom and Dad find out you're dating her?" Kevin asked, and Nick shrugged.
"Who said they have to find out? Kevin, we've gone two years without anyone finding out. Now, suddenly, you, Lilly and Mikayla all are finding out about it. Kev, promise me you won't tell a soul about me and Miley," Nick pleaded, and Kevin nodded.
"I promise you that if you promise me that you won't get your heart broken like you did with your exes," Kevin said, and Nick nodded and hugged his brother.
"Dudes! Are we practising or not?!" Joe yelled over. Nick glanced at Miley cheering one more time before running back over with Kevin and smiling at the rest of the team.
"Yeah, we're gonna start now," he said and started dividing the team into 2 teams for a game.

That night, Nick and Miley were sitting on the beach, with Nick's arms around Miley, as they watched the sunset.
"Miles, I need to tell you something," Nick said to Miley, and she looked up at him and smiled. Nick smiled back weakly, and Miley's smile immediately faded.
"What's wrong?" she asked anxiously, and Nick looked at the moon, that was glowing in the sky, giving them perfect light to see each other in.
"Kevin knows. He knows, Miley. One night, he saw us making out on the beach and he decided not to say anything. But he promised he'd keep quiet about it. I swear," Nick said, and Miley nodded and looked away, and Nick grabbed her hand.
"Did he follow you here or something? Is that how he saw us?" Miley asked quietly. Nick shrugged.
"I think he said he was going for a walk to get some fresh air. I don't know. I'm sorry. But I only found out at practice today," Nick said and squeezed her hand gently.
"It's alright," Miley said and smiled up at him.
"Speaking of practice," Nick said in her ear and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her in between his legs. "You looked very hot."
"Why thank you. You didn't look too bad yourself," Miley said and giggled, and Nick laughed and kissed her head.
"I love you now, and just remember that I'll love you forever and always. Which reminds me!" Nick said, and began digging his hands in his pockets. Miley gave him a weird look, and he pulled a Tiffany box out of his pocket and handed it to her.
Miley looked at him, confused, and opened it to reveal a locket with the words 'Forever and always, baby girl. -N' engraved on the back, and when she opened it, it revealed a picture of Nick kissing her cheek one night on the beach, and Miley felt tears well in her eyes as she hugged Nick as tightly as she could, holding the locket tightly in her hand.
"You like it?" Nick asked nervously.
"Nick, I absolutely love it! Will you put it on for me?" Miley asked, and Nick smiled and nodded. He took the locket from her and put it around her neck, doing the clasp and kissing her head.
"All done. I'm glad you like it, baby girl," Nick said and hugged her tightly.
"I love you, Nick," Miley said, staring up at the sky and watching the stars and the moon while still sitting in between Nick's legs.
"I love you too, baby girl," Nick said and kissed Miley's temple, making her smile to herself.
What the couple didn't know was that in the distance, Kevin was watching his brother fall in love with a smile on his face.
A/N: I hope you enjoyed the chapter, and I hope no one was offended by my slight outburst at the start of the chapter. I was just venting. I do that a lot. It usually doesn't mean anything. I want to ask you to please, please, please check out my YouTube series, and the series that my YouTube BFF does. Her name is xxkraeloveee and she does two series. Surprises Forever and Take A Bow. They're really good if you checked out her series, as well as mine. Mine's called A Niley Story, and I have the same username on that as I do on FanFiction - ShoppingAndDiamonds. Thank you.
