Chapter 7: A picture with a twist

Nick's POV

Miley was all I could think about, it was pretty frustrating thinking about a person I wasn't suppose to like; every bone in my body was telling me to be with her, but then my brain was a whole different story. God had I become one of those vain people that I used to hate?

God no there is no way I'm as bad as Demi or Cody; speaking of which I haven't seen him since right before I went to talk to Miley, wonder where he is.

I'm sure were ever he is, is much better than where I am standing in the middle of the dance floor Demi grinding up against me. sure she'd hot and all it just doesn't feel right, I mean it feels like I'm cheating on Miley, which is totally off base because we're not even dating, so how can I be cheating on her; confused much?

Don't worry I am too! "What the hell nick, I thought you liked me?" she asked, stopping what she was doing and taking a step back.

Great just absolutely great! what in god greens earth was I suppose to tell her; if I told her I liked Miley then she'd totally freak out, but if I told her I just didn't like her anymore, she'd assume it was because of Miley. It's a lose, lose situation "I did, I mean I do it's just" I couldn't catch my words no matter who hard I tried.

I could tell from the look her face that that she was getting pissed "you like Miley don't you? Out of all the god damn people to li—"but she never got to finish her sentence because the next thing I knew my lips were crashing onto hers, making her momentarily speechless.

I just prayed Miley wasn't around to see it, but after all I was doing this for ever. "Leave Miley alone" I demanded when we finale detached from each other; if the only way for me to protect her was to be with Demi, well then I'm just gonna have to suck it up for her.

"Anything for you" she whispered seductively into my ear, as her hands made their way around my torso; yep could life get any worse? Well since her hand was making its way down my trousers I would definitely say yes, yes it could. "Demi not here" I said, stepping back so her hands are no longer touching any part of me.

All of a sudden I could have sworn I heard a muffled scream coming from up stairs "I thought I heard something" I voiced, taking a step back from Demi "It was nothing baby I'm sure if it" she assured me before, attacking me with her lips once more.


Miley's POV

The next Moring

My head hurt, it hurt like hell; scratch that I don't think I've ever felt this way before. It was like every fiber my body was in pain, but the worst part was I don't remember how I got into this state, in fact I don't remember anything after leaving nick to dance with Demi last night.

I had to open my eyes, but the throbbing in my head just wouldn't subside, in fact I was sure it was getting worse; well nothing a good aspirin couldn't take care of.

Opening my eyes slowly I realized I was in my room; well it's better than at my last party when I woke up in the back yard covered in glitter glue; trust me you don't want to know.

I climbed out of bed walking over to the mirror to examine my refection "HOLY SHIT!" I exclaimed, my neck and arms were covered in purple bruises; and these weren't the fall down the stairs type, these were large almost large enough to be hand marks.

Okay I need to calm down the last thing I need is to freak myself out; I mean I know I'm not liked by everyone but I didn't think there was anyone who'd want to hurt me, like physically hurt me anyway.

Grabbing my bathrobe from the closet I rapped it tightly around myself before walking down stairs; well at lest the house was clean.

I really must have been out of it if the maids had time to clean everything up; and knowing it was a waldorf party there was a lot of cleaning needed.

"Hello?" I called, when no one replied I made my way into the kitchen, but the only thing I could think about was the marks that were left on my body; and the person who made them.


After willowing in self pity for a good hour and a half I realized the bruises on my body weren't gonna go anytime soon without a little help so after applying god knows how much cover make up, and throwing on some clothes I made my way to the pharmacy.

Which is where I am currently, standing in the lotion aisle trying to decide which one to buy; but as I scanned the different lotion brands I was nervous as hell, I guess being attacked and not knowing who it was dose that to you.

For I second I thought it was Liam; I know what you're thinking his your best friend, but it was only for a second anyway I'm only human.

But the truth is Liam couldn't do that to me even if he liked me more than a friend, at least I think so. Grabbing the first bottle that my figures came in contact with I turned around sharply heading for the counter. After paying for the lotion I walked out of the pharmacy letting the L.A sun shine hit me hard, making me wince from the sudden change.

"Miley!"

I turned around at the call of my name, to see selena running towards me; she looks ten times better than me, her hair is clean and pulled up into a tight pony tail and her clothes match perfectly with her shoes, oh well I couldn't be prefect 24/7.

"Oh hey sel" I greeted running my fingers through my tied up locks, trying hard to smile even though every part of me still ached "you okay, you don't look so good?" she asked in a worried tone.

I've said it before but I really need to start being nicer to her "I'll tell you later, did you hear anything about my party" I asked trying to change the subject, anything then talking about the marks on my body, just thinking about them sent shivers down my spine.

"Oh! Yeah the party's the talk over teenage gossip around the city! I even heard rumors that Demi and nick hooked up!" selena squealed. WHAT! Okay selena didn't have a clue I liked nick so it didn't matter to her if he hooked up with Demi but it mattered to me!

I played in front of him; I shared something special; this is why I don't open up to people! Selena was bouncing up and down loving that she was the first one to give me gossip; that's usual Emily's or Katie's job since I spend most of my time with them.

Wow your face is red miles" she commented whipping out her cell phone; I am not a happy camper at the moment, nick is mine! I only let him dance with Demi so I could solve things with Liam, who I still haven't, not to mention the fact that I can't remember anything about last night; this is not good.

"Hey selena, did you see me go upstairs with anyone last night?" I asked, while watching her type with speed on her blackberry; me I'm an Iphone type of girl but whatever "No, but OMG have you spoken to Liam today?" she asked; well theirs a name I never excepted to come out of her mouth, he dose after all hate her.

I shook my head watching a smile appear on her lips "he asked me out!" she said starting to jump up and down again; hold on a second he asked her out, but he hates her, and likes me!

But that I'm not happy for them but what the hell does he keep saying he hates her for, unless he was trying to convince himself he didn't like her; I have such a big headache.


Nick had a blog! Can you believe it! Walking home I couldn't stop thinking about everything, the marks, Liam asking selena, so maybe Nick's poetry could be just what I need.

I don't want to believe that nick hooked up with Demi, and until I talk to him I won't. And as for the marks I'm gonna pretend it didn't happen, what's the worst that could happen right? Scrolling down his MySpace page I realize that his added a new entire today

Hold on

Tears stream down your face

You think you such a disgrace

But hold on

You're so much more

Then you give yourself credit for

By Mr. President

(I really wrote this that's why it sucks :P)

Wow again I'm thinking was this for me or maybe Demi? But why would she feel like a disgrace she wasn't constantly bombarded with problems from left right and center.

I continued to look at his page but the sentence that gripped me the most was the instruction to the page

Poetry is an art, I write to make the pain and frustrations go away. When I'm sitting at my desk writing all the bad things just disappear.

For anyone who wants that pleasure I'll make you a deal, grab a paper and a pen, no stupid computers I believe in the old fashion way. Try it out and tell me what you think, send me your poem, I promise I won't judge you I swear.

Art is an expression of one's true self, it sets you free.

-Mr. President

Standing from the black swirly chair I walk over to my writing pad which is usually used for song writing, why not try it out? It worked for him.

Nick's POV

I took your advice Mr. President and wrote what I felt, so what do you think?

A picture with a twist

I want to paint a picture, a picture with a twist;

I want to paint a picture, a picture on my wrist;

And when I paint this picture,

A fountain will appear;

And if I press down hard enough,

All the pain will disappear.

- Miley Waldorf

(Unknown writer)

She'd read my blog, she'd seen my poems I wonder if she knew they were for her; reading the words she'd written with such passion and pain I realized I couldn't be friends with Miley anymore; and do you want to know why it's because I freaking loved her! Me Nick Grey loved Miley waldorf what the fuck was I gonna do!

I wanted to take all her pain away, hold her in my arms and wish every single fear from her body; I don't know if I will succeed in getting her to let me in, but now that I know what I want, nothings gonna stop me.


A/N: this one sucked beyond belief but if you continue to comment I promise it's gonna get better, I didn't want to revel what happened right away what fun would that be right? But she doesn't remember who it was

Why did Liam go out with selena he hates her, for an alibi?

Did Demi know there was gonna be a scream because she planned it?

And where was Cody?

Will he/she strike again, and will nick be able to stop them.

Can nick and Miley be together?
