I've kind of been writing this story in Miley's point of view, but this chapter is more from a third person's point of view, telling both of their emotions and feelings. And also since this is fan fiction, none of the characters in this story wear purity rings.

------------------------------------

Turns out being friends with Nick went a lot smoother the Miley expected. Since they weren't a real couple, a lot of the normal relationship problems weren't there. Neither of them go jealous if they were seen hanging out with someone of the opposite sex, they didn't have to worry about where the other was at all times, and they didn't have to lie to the media. When someone asked them a question, all they had to say was that they're friends. She also got to go on walks with Nick, sit on the couch and watch t.v. or movies all day long, they could talk about music, and she got to kiss him whenever she wanted to. Things were good.

The two of them were currently on the couch in the Jonas' living room. Nick was leaned against the arm of the couch with Miley sitting on his lap. He leaned his head back as she began biting his neck. With there hectic schedules it was hard enough to get time together, and nearly impossible to get time alone together. On this particular day, Nick's brothers were out shopping and his parents had taken Frankie to a fiends house before doing a bit of secret Christmas shopping. Nick had made up some excuse about wanting to shop on his own for presents later, that way he wouldn't have to worry about bumping into one of his brothers. When they left, he called Miley and invited her over, and somehow they ended up on the couch.

Miley moved from his neck to his lips and started kissing him more roughly then she had been. He was a little caught of guard when she started messing with the buttons on his shirt, but didn't complain. She ran her hands down his chest as she continued to kiss him. A thought popped into her mind as he ran his hands down her back and slipped both his thumbs under her shirt. She tried to forget about it and told herself she didn't really have the right to ask him, but she couldn't. She leaned up a little and looked at him. "Can I ask you a personal question?" She said starring down at him. "Uhm, sure I guess." He said, wondering what the question would be. "Have you ever." She paused trying to find the right words. "Are you." Every way she said it she thought sounded stupid. "Miley, just spit it out." Nick laughed. "Are you a virgin?" She said finally, watching his eyes. "That is personal." He said, playing with the hem of her shirt, avoiding eye contact. "I figured it wasn't a crazy thing to ask, considering our current situation." She said. He may not be her boyfriend, but they still did things boyfriends and girlfriends did, and before things between them went any further then they had, she needed to know. "Right." he paused. "No, I'm not." He told her. Before she got the chance to ask, he started talking again. "It was with my ex girlfriend, we had dated for a year and a half, and ended up breaking up at the beginning of the year." She nodded her head slowly. "Did you love her?" Miley asked quietly. He took a minute to answer. "Yeah, I did."

She started feeling very uncomfortable. Suddenly sitting in his lap seemed odd. She moved off him and sat on the other end of the couch past his legs and looked at him. As he sat up, she knew what he would say, what he would ask. "Are we still okay?" Okay, she was wrong he asked something different. She turned more to face him. "Yes, of course. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get all quiet, I was just thinking." She told him. She wasn't sure what answer she was hoping for when she asked the question, but the one she got made her feel weird. "Are you?" He said, breaking the silence and forcing her to focus on him again, instead of her thoughts. "Uhm, yeah I am." She said looking at her hands as she picked at old nail polish. "Are you sure everything's okay. I mean just because I have doesn't mean we have to." She laughed at him. "Nick, It's fine. I just, I don't know. Never mind. We're really really fine. I swear." She said leaning into him and kissing him softly on the lips. "And just because I haven't, doesn't mean I don't want to." She whispered to him. "But not right now" She added a moment later.

"You two are getting pretty serious." Mr Jonas said as he walked past Nick who had been clutching his phone in his hands for a day and a half texting with Miley. "We're just friends dad." Nick mumbled as he typed. "Well you're friendship is gettign pretty serious." Mr. Jonas said leaning next to Nick. "You know, if you wanted to talk about anything, you can always ask me or your mom." He added. "I know dad." Nick. "Even about the embarrassing things, we know you probably have questions about sex and we're-" "Dad!" Nick cut him off. "I get it." He said. He hadn't exactly told his parents about having sex, it didn't seem like something you go running to your mommy and daddy about. "Okay, Okay." His dad said walking off. Nick sighed and hit the send button on his phone. "Aww, is little Nicky finally getting the talk?" Joe asked walking into the kitchen. "Shut up." Nick said. "On an serious note, you and Miley are getting serious." Kevin said. "How can you get serious with someone who you're not officially dating?" Nick asked looking at his oldest brother. "That is a good question." Joe said. "Well, why don't you date officially, that way you can get more serious." Kevin said. " Because, that's not what she wants." Nick said running his fingers through his hair. "And what do you want?" Nick thought for a minute. He really wasn't sure what he wanted. "I want things to keep going as good as they are." He said taking the easy way out. "Are you two, you know. Doing it?" Joe asked him. "No Joe, we aren't, you know doing it." Nick rolled his eyes. "Doesn't a brother get to ask that?" Joe asked looking back and forth from Nick and Kevin.

Miley and Many had had a sleep over and they were sitting in the kitchen eating cereal. "What do you have to do today?" Mandy asked. "I have filming from twelve to five." Miley said taking a bite. "And tonight?" Miley shook her head. "I don't know, nothing I guess." She shrugged her shoulders. "We should do some shopping." Mandy suggested and Miley nodded her head slowly. She had been considering asking Mandy about Nick all evening, and the all morning, but hadn't decided if she would or not. Mandy was never the biggest fan her her getting involved with someone again. "Hey Mandy, can I ask you something?" She asked, making up her mind. "Sure." Mandy said looking at her. "It's about me and Nick." She added, and watched Mandy who just shrugged her shoulders and told her to continue. "The other day we were at his house, and things got pretty, heated." She said. "I like him, a lot, but I don't know if I'm ready for a relationship yet. But at the same time I really want to be with, like really with him." She told Mandy. After a minute or two Mandy finally spoke. "I think that it might be wise to wait until you know him better, and maybe you'll be in a real relationship. One where you don't have to worry about him being with other girls. Your first time isn't something you an get back." Miley sighed. "Sorry if that wasn't what you wanted to hear." Mandy apologized. "No don't be sorry. Wasn't this suppose to be easy? No problems, just fun." Miley said leaning her head on the table. "There's always problems." Mandy laughed. "Okay, let me ask you this. If I did sleep with him, would you consider that slutty? Be honest." She said turning her head over to star at Mandy. "Normally yes, but not in this situation. I can see that you really like him, if you didn't you wouldn't even be considering this, so I think it's just a matter of time before you give in and decide to date him. So really, you'd be sleeping with someone you really care about. Plus that boy has got it bad for you." Mandy smiled as Miley laughed. "He kind of does, doesn't he." Miley smiled. "But uhm, do you have something?" Mandy asked. "My parents gave me them a while ago. Just in case. Plus he probably has some, since he's already done it." She said, then realized that she may not have been suppose to mention that to anyone. "He has?" Mandy asked. "Shit, Mandy you can't say anything, okay." She begged. "Fine, but with who?" She asked. "His ex. They dated for a year and a half then broke up early this year." She said. "Well at least he'll know where it goes." Mandy said picking up her coffee cup. Miley laughed and smacked her arm.

A couple of days later, Miley and Nick were in his room, and she couldn't stop thinking about her conversation with Mandy. Nick was kissing her neck when she felt his hands wondering up her top. He giggled and squirmed under him. She kissed his mouth and pulled him closer to her. He leaned back and lopped his fingers around the bottom of her shirt and she didn't stop him as he slowly pulled it up over her head. He glanced down at her briefly before connecting their mouths again. He seemed different, more aggressive then he was before. It made her kind of nervous, but really turned on at the same time. She ran her fingers down his back and back up again, resting them in his hair. She kept weighing her options and trying to decided what she wanted, excluding what everyone else wanted. She had to make the right decision for herself.

She was so amazed how how good of a kisser he was that when he started fumbling with the button on her pants, it took her a minute to realize what he was doing. She moved her hand down and stopped him. "Wait." She said. "It's okay, I have one." He said in her ear and started working on her pants again. "No." She said pushing him off her. He seemed confused as she started reaching for her shirt. "Miley, what's wrong?" He asked as she pulled her shirt over he head. "Nothing. I just, can't do this." She said getting up. She grabbed her shoes and hurried out of the room.

"I'm sure it wasn't that bad." Mandy said over the phone. "I ran out of the room carrying my shoes. I'm lucky I even got my shirt on." She said sighing and rolling over on her back and starred up at the ceiling. "What happened?" Mandy asked. "I completely freaked out, and ran out of the room like some crazy spaz." She said groaning. "This sucks." She added. "Just go talk to him, explain. I'm sure he'll understand." Mandy said. "I really really really really really really really don't want to go over there." Miley whined into the phone. "Then nothing will get fixed." Mandy was right, Miley knew she was right, but it didn't make it any easier. "Why don't you call him, explain it to him over the phone. Or call him and have him come over, that way you won't have to bump into his brothers, because who knows what he told them." Mandy laughed. "I hadn't even thought of that!" Miley yelled. "Oh, sorry. Call him."

It took nearly twenty minutes of starring at Nick's name to actually call him and when she did, she barley manged to speak. "Hello." He said. "Hey, it's me." The silence worried her. "I've been calling you for two days." He said quietly, and it sounded like he was moving around. "I know, I just had some thinking to do." She said. "Thinking?" He sounded disappointed, almost sad. "Yeah, which is what I'm calling about. Can you meet me somewhere. I think we should talk." She could hear a door shut and then silence. "Uhm, sure where?" He asked. "The park, six thirty." They agreed and then hung up, leaving Miley with nothing but her thoughts. By the time six thirty came around she had gone over what she would say a hundred time and got to the park ten minute early. She watched the road and waited to see him walking up. It was cold out and dark, and it was kind of creepy being all alone at the park hidden by some bushes. Luckily she saw Nick's head as he walked up looking around. She stepped out form behind the bushes and smiled at him. He smiled back and slowly walked up to her. "Hi." She said. "Hey." They sat down on a nearby bench and it was silent again. "Look, I know what you're gonna say." He said looking at her. "So lets just end it now." He finished. "What?" She asked surprised by his words. "You want to end this?" She asked, looking at him. "Don't you?" He asked and she shook her head. "Then why did you invite me hear to talk?" he asked. "Because I acted like a psycho the other day and wanted to explain." She said laughing. "Oh." he said, as his cheek turned pink.

"I'm sorry if I pushed you." Nick aid while Miley was gathering her thoughts. "No, you didn't. I had like a million different things in my head about you and about us, and I was trying to make up my mind. I realize now when you're laying on a bed with your shirt off probably isn't the best time to decide weather or not you'll sleep with someone." She laughed at herself. "What did you decide?" He asked. "I think you're special, and I really like you. And I think that when the time comes, I'll know if it's right or not and I'll just have to go with my heart." She told him. "I'm sorry." She said a moment later. "Miles, this is important and not something you should be pushed into doing. Don't be sorry." He said holding her hands. "I know, I just feel like, like a tease or something." She told him and he laughed and shook his head. "So are we good?" He asked looking at her. "No." She said looking at him. "I know I said that I didn't want a relationship, but I want to be with you and I want to know that I'm the only person you're with." She paused and smiled at him. "So if you don't mind being with someone who's just a little bit crazy, will you be my boyfriend?" She asked him and he smiled at her and pulled her closer to him. "I'd love to." He said right before he kissed her.

CHAPTER FOUR IS DONE! Yay. I worked on this chapter for days and I ended up re-writing the whole thing today. lol. So I'll try and update again soon, I'll probably start working on it tomorrow or the next day. I'm gonna be out Christmas shopping a lot this next week, but I'll try and update at least once before Christmas. Idk if I'll get another update till January thought. My parents anniversary is the 20th, then Christmas and then my 16th birthday is on the 30th, so this time of year is super busy for me. And I'm also gonna try and update Kiss the Past as well. Try...

Let me know what you think of this chapter. I know a lot of you were bummed that Nick and Miley weren't actually dating, so this should make you happy. I keep going back and forth on how I want this story to go. I still have no idea what I want to happen later on. I'm taking it one chapter at a time. ha. So If anyone has an idea please tell me. This story will get awful boring very soon if something good doesn't happen!
