Miley's POV

I woke up the next morning in my bed. I couldn't really remember when I went to sleep or how even got in my bed.

I groggily got up and went in the bathroom. My hair was a total mess. I decided to just leave it like that. I walked downstairs and no one was there. I decided to watch some TV. I did that for a couple hours until I got bored.

I went upstairs and got ready and headed out. I decided to go to the mall. When I got there I figured I would call Alex and see what she was up to.

"Hello?" She answered.

"Hey. What's up?" I asked as I walked down the mall, stopping to look at a few things.

"Nothing. Me and Nate are getting something to eat. Where are you?" She asked.

"At the mall." I answered. She gasped.

"You're at the mall without me?" She exclaimed. I laughed.

"Sorry. You can come if you want." I said. I heard her ask Nate if he wanted to go, then I heard him say sure.

"Me and Nate will be there in a few minutes." She said.

"Okay. Bye." I said as I hung up. I went and sat down at the food court and waited for them. Luckily they came in the door where I was so they didn't have to look for me.

"Hey." Nate said.

"Oh my gosh!" Alex screamed. Almost everyone in the whole food court turned and looked at her. She slumped in her chair, trying to hide. Nate and I just busted out laughing.

"What?" I asked.

"Did you know your birthday is in two weeks?" She asked. Wow, she was right. It's pretty pathetic when you can't even remember your own birthday.

"Wow, it is." I said. Nate shook his head at me.

"You didn't even remember your own birthday? Wow." He said. I slapped him.

"Hey, Nate how about we throw her party at your house?" Alex asked.

"Oh, that'll work because my parents will be out of town the week of her birthday. I'll ask them and if they say it's okay then we'll do it." He said. Alex clapped her hands. I shook my head at her peppiness.

We all went home. Alex came with me to my house and Nate went to his house to ask his parents about the party.

"So, have you talked to Shane today?" I asked. Alex looked at her feet, apparently not wanting to answer the question.

"Well....um....yeah. When I went over to Nate's house to pick him up Shane was leaving. He said he was going to Mitchie's." She said.

"Oh, that's cool." I said putting my fake smile on again. Apparently she bought it.

Nate came walking in the house. He sat down beside Alex and put his arm around her.

"So what'd your parents say?" Alex asked.

"They said it was okay if we didn't invite any other people. My mom said only you, me, Miley, Shane, and uh....Mitchie." He said. Alex frowned.

"That's alright. I don't know who we would invite anyway." I said.

The next few weeks went by normally. We went to school and Alex figured out what we were doing at my party. Nothing special happened. I didn't see a lot of Shane, though. He spent a lot of time with Mitchie.

Alex's POV

It was the day before Miley's party. It wasn't even that important or big but I still wanted it to be awesome. That meant I spent a lot of time planning what was going to happen.

I wanted Shane to be there for sure so I kept reminding him of it everyday. He was getting pretty annoyed with me.

"Remember, tomorrow, five o'clock, Miley's party." I reminded Shane for the twentieth time. He groaned.

"Okay Alex! Jeez how many times do you have to tell me? It's not like I'm going to forget about it." He exclaimed. I sighed.

"I know. I just want to make sure you'll be there. If you aren't Miley will be really hurt." I said. He rolled his eyes.

"I. Will. Be. There." He said obviously annoyed. I nodded my head.

Miley's POV

Well today's my seventeenth birthday. I can't say I'm excited about it. I used to get majorly excited for my birthdays but now, it's just another day, and I'm just one year older.

Everyone keeps asking me what I want for my birthday. The only thing I really want is Shane, but there's pretty much no hope for that. Every year when I blow out my candles and wish for Shane. Nine birthdays and I still haven't gotten that.

Fortunately, my birthday was on a Saturday so I didn't have to go to school. I was about to start cleaning up my room when my cellphone rang. It was Shane

"Happy Birthday Mi!" He screamed into the phone when I answered. I giggled at him.

"Thanks." I said.

"You excited about your party?" He asked.

"Yeah, it's gonna be fun. You'll be there right?" I asked as I started making up my bed.

"Of course! I wouldn't miss it for the world!" He said.

"Promise?" I asked.

"Promise." He agreed.

"Well then I'll see you there. I gotta go, I'm cleaning my room." I said.

"Alright, bye." He said.

I hung the phone up and continued cleaning my room. When I got done I decided to take a nap. I lied down on my bed and drifted off to sleep.

Shane's POV

It was almost three o'clock. I has just gotten out of the shower to get ready for Miley's party when my cellphone rang.

"Hey Mitchie." I answered.

"Hey, babe. Can you come over? I miss you." She said. I figured I could go over for an house after I got ready and be back in time for Miley's party.

"Sure. I just got out of the shower. I'll be over there as soon as I get ready." I said.

"Alright well hurry up. I haven't seen you in like four hours!" She exclaimed. I rolled my eyes. She was right. Had just been at her house that morning.

"Okay. Love you, bye." I said and hung up. I blow dried my hair, straightened it, and threw on some clothes in fifteen minutes. It was three-twenty.

I walked downstairs and started out the door.

"Where are you going?" Nate asked.

"To see Mitchie." I said.

"Weren't you like just over there?" He asked. I nodded.

"Okay, remember be back by five." He said. I nodded and headed out the door. I got to Mitchie's house at three-thirty.

"Hey baby." She said as she opened the door and kissed me. We went and sat on the couch and talked for and hour until I figured I should leave.

"I've gotta go. Miley's birthday party Is today and I promised I'd be there." I said as I started to get up. She grabbed my arm.

"Shaney, please don't go. I want you to stay with me." She said.

"I have to go." I said and opened the door but she pulled me back.

"Oh, so you're going to pick her over me?" She asked with her hands on her hips.

"No baby, it's not like that." I said. She crossed her arms over her chest.

"It looks that way. You could stay here but you wanna go be with her." She said as she sat down on her couch.

"Mitchie, you know I love you but, I can't let Miley down." I said.

"You act like she's your freaking girlfriend!" She screamed.

"I don't mean to. She's my best friend though Mitch." I said.

"Fine. Just go, you don't love me anyway." She said. I groaned and went back over and sat down. I wrapped my arms around her and hugged her.

"Fine, I'll stay." I said.

Miley's POV

I went over to Nate's house. I walked into the back yard and Alex had decorated everything. There were streamers on trees, and there were balloons everywhere.

"Happy Birthday! Do you like it?" Alex asked as she hugged me.

"Yeah, I love it." I said.

"Here. Follow me." She said as she grabbed my hand and led me into the house. I almost had a heart-attack when someone jumped behind me and hugged me. I turned around to see who it was.

"Happy Birthday, Miley!" Jason screamed. I hadn't seen Jason in three years. He went off to college and he hadn't visited since then.

"Ah, Jason! I missed you!" I said as I hugged him tightly. He was always like my big brother.

"I missed you too." He said as he pulled a present from behind his back.

"Yay!" I screamed as I opened it. It was a pair of earrings I had been wanting for months. I never had enough money to buy them.

"Thank you so much. I love them!" I exclaimed and hugged him one last time.

"Where's Shane?" He asked. I shrugged my shoulders.

"Maybe he's outside." I said. We both walked outside. Alex and Nate were in the pool making out.

"Oh my gosh! What are you two doing?" Jason screamed.

"Oh, I guess we forgot to mention we're together now." Alex said.

"Yeah. Thanks, but congrats little bro." Jason said. Nate blushed a little. "You and Shane together yet?" He asked me. I looked down at the ground.

"N-no, he's still with M-Mitchie." I said. Jason frowned.

"Sorry." He said. I shook my head.

"It's alright. If I like it or not he's happy and that's all that matters." I said. He nodded. "Speaking of Shane, where is he?" I asked Alex. She shrugged. I looked over at Nate.

"He went to Mitchie's a couple hours ago." He said.

"Oh, I guess he's just running late." I said, shrugging. Shane and I took off our clothes, revealing our bathing suits and jumped in the pool as well.

We swam for a little while, opened presents, and ate cake.

Alex's POV

We has just got done eating Miley's birthday cake and I looked at my watch. It was nine freaking thirty and that idiot Shane still hadn't shown up.

"I'm gonna go inside and...uh....get something to drink....." I said as I walked inside.

"I'll come with." Nate said. We both walked inside.

"Where in the world is Shane?" I asked Nate.

"I don't know. I'm gonna call him." He said. He picked up his phone and called. I waited for a second and he hung the phone up.

"He didn't answer." Nate said. I sighed, then picked up my phone and tried to call him.

Ring...

Ring....

Ring...

Ring....

"He didn't answer." I said. Nate walked over to the table and slammed his fist down.

"What is his problem?!" Nate screamed. "He can't keep doing this to her! It's going to kill her! Does he not have any brain at all?!" He screamed, furious.

"Apparently not." Was all I could say.

Miley's POV

I looked at my watch. It was 9:30. Shane wasn't there yet. I thought back to our conversation that morning.

Flashback

"You excited about your party?" He asked.

"Yeah, it's gonna be fun. You'll be there right?" I asked as I started making up my bed.

"Of course! I wouldn't miss it for the world!" He said.

"Promise?" I asked.

"Promise." He agreed.

End Flashback

How could he do that to me? He promised he would be here, now where the heck is he? I decided to call him.

It rang three times before someone answered.

"Stop calling! Shane doesn't want to talk to you. He's not coming to your stupid party and he doesn't care about you. He's with me, so get over it." Mitchie said into the phone and hung up. I gasped.

"What happened?" Jason asked. I couldn't hold back my emotions. I just started crying, once again, right there. Jason hugged me. I pulled away from him and got myself together. I hated crying in front of Jason, Nate, or Alex. I knew it got on there nerves.

"What's wrong sweetie?" Jason asked.

"I tried to call Shane, and Mitchie answered and she said he wasn't coming and he didn't care about me. That's okay though. I think I'm gonna go home anyway." I said and then I ran off.

"Miley wait!" Jason called. I just kept running until I got to my house. I ran upstairs and flung myself on my bed and broke down. All the hurt came out with tears.
