Chapter 4 - Torn Apart
Miley sat painting her toenails a royal blue color. The phone rang and Miley carefully stood up to answer it.
"Hello?" she asked.
"I'll tell your secret. Break up with Nick or I'll tell everyone you're Hannah Montana." Jake whispered.
"Jake, you're pathetic!" Miley shouted.
"Go out with me instead. I swear I will, Miley. Do it today." The line went dead after Jake rasped his voice.
Miley slammed the phone down and screamed. Angry tears went down her face.
Her hand shook as she picked up the phone again to call Nick.
"Jonas Brother Number Three. How may I help you?" Nick said to the phone.
"Nick?" Miley choked, crying.
"Miley? What's wrong? Is everything ok?" Nick asked.
Miley took a deep breath. "Come over." She said and hung up.
She wrapped her arms around herself and sighed. The doorbell rang.
She opened the door. Nick swooped inside and kissed her.
"What happened?" he asked, pulling away.
Miley wiped away her tears.
"We need to break up. Jake told me to go out with him or he'll tell everyone my secret." She said softly.
Miley had never seen such strong hate in Nick's eyes. "I'm going to murder him." He whispered.
"No! Nick! I'll just go out with him." Miley exclaimed.
Nick grabbed Miley's wrist. "Can you hear yourself? Are you listening to what you're saying? That jerk is capable of anything when he's around you." He said.
"He'll blackmail me anyways!" Miley shouted.
An angry look flashed in Nick's eyes.
"I won't let you." He said quietly.
Miley groaned. "You're still my number one." She said lightly.
Nick looked at the ground.
"I love you." Miley said.
Nick hugged her tightly and softly kissed her.
"Be careful with him." Nick said.
