Why did this happen to me? My life is so screwed right now. I cried harder as I wrapped my arms around myself preventing me from shaking. I was too busy crying that I didn't notice a pair of eyes looking at me in pity and in Love.
(Nobody's POV)
As the girl continued to cry, the boy couldn't help but feel sorry for her. He hesitated at first but gave in immediately after hearing the girl's cry turning into sobs. He didn't know what to do, so he did the first thing that came into his mind. He wrapped his muscular arms around her tiny body. Startled by the sudden touch, the girl looked up, instantly blue met brown. They stared at each other for quite some time until the girl returned to her previous actions. But this time she buried her face into his chest. He didn't care if his shirt was soaked. That was irrelevant right now. So, he did everything he can. He swayed her back and forth, he rubbed circles in her back, and he told her everything was going to be okay, even though he himself wasn't sure. His mission for today was to make sure she made it through tonight. She had gone through some serious problems at such a young age. They both thought it was going to end soon. But both them were wrong. It was just the beginning. Finally, the girl sniffed indicating she was done with crying at least for today. She looks up again, and once again, blue met brown. But the boy had a smile in his face. The girl returned the smile but it was weaker. They stared at each other for what seemed like eternity. Silence took them over. And the silence wasn't awkward, in fact it was comfortable.
"What are you doing here?" asked the confused girl, her eyebrows knitted together. Her voice was hoarse from crying.
The boy could swear that that was the cutest thing he has ever seen. He chuckled before answering.
"Oh, so I can't see my best friend?" He faked a scoff, as if to make it look as if he was offended. The girl poked the tip of his nose, and like snap the corners of his mouth pulled up into a smile, showing his perfectly white teeth. The girl giggled at his answer as the boy's smile grew even wider, until the girl nudged the boy telling him to tell her the real answer. The boy's body tensed and he felt sweat on his palms.
"I followed you" the boy told her honestly, looking directly at her eyes, looking for some sign of annoyance or anything, but instead the girl laughed, this time it had a hint of joy in it. This made the boy smile in success.
"Stalker" the girl said but it was barely a whisper. The boy heard her though, so he knitted his eyebrows together and tried his best to put on a puppy dog face.
"Oh, so now, I'm a stalker?" ask the boy as he raise two fingers.
Nodding, the girl agreed. Unfortunately, she didn't saw the warning the boy had given her. The boy stepped closer, a mischievous smile appearing on his face, a scared one on hers as she tried to back away. He reached her and as simple as that, he started tickling her sides. The girl started to shut her eyes tightly while laughing and began to bend over as if to defend her from the tickles
"Please..." She breathlessly protested "Stop!" the girl protested, as she managed to say in between laughs. The boy granted her wish and he stopped. She gazes at his brown orbs at him for a long time before standing up as she gave him a little push and ran.
"Sucker!" the girl screamed as she ran away from the boy.
"Oh, you are so dead!" the boy screamed back at her trying to catch up with her, which didn't take much effort.
As soon as the boy caught up with her, he grabbed her by the waist. She giggled uncontrollably as he spun her around. As soon as they were finish with their little game. Their foreheads collided as one. As they were about to share a kiss, a thunder was released, making the girl jump in surprise, causing her to clutch onto the boy tighter. As for the boy, well, let's just say he was enjoying every moment.
"Scared much, Mi?" the boy chuckled as he look at her face. The girl was lost for words. So, she just nodded vigorously.
"Don't be. I'm here." The boy said as he tightened his grip.
"Thank you, Joe" the girl said as she felt like no one can touch her. She felt safe in his arms. And now, she knows, she falling in love with her ex's brother and her best friend.
Miley's POV
I shut my eyes, soaking in the moment as my arms tightened their grips on his back. The warmth that he returned felt right. He kissed the top of my head as I gently pushed him away.
"I should go home." I muttered as my eyes traveled down his white slip-on converse.
"Want a ride?" His voice was full of concern as he offered.
"No. I'll walk. Thank you, though." I looked up at him as I reminded myself over and over not to look at his face too much. His eyebrows curved in worry. I wonder if he knows.
"Don't worry about it. I'm good." I assured him. I smoothed my clothes as I gave him a one-armed hug. I walked ghastly as I reminded myself not to look back. Or fall down. It took a few more steps until I whipped my head around to make sure he was not in sight. I made my pace slower as I confirmed he wasn't. The wind was really cold as it hit like blades on my cheek. The cold wind hair brushed through my tangled hair as I made a left turn to go home. I stared at the beauty of the trees.
When I was young, I adored how the leaves always make a ruffling sound whenever there's wind. Nick always reminded me of trees. Maybe it was because like it, he's still, quiet and always cautious but also like it, it has natural beauty; waiting to be found and discovered by anyone willing enough to understand him. But something hit me like a rock, this is done. This is a one-way street, a dead end, a hand stuffed tight in a blue jean pocket. It was all a mistake, we know. It never really fit, and we both knew it from the start. Something was always just a little bit crooked, a pebble too many on one side of the scale. If we had more pebbles, we might have been able to fix it. But, like the stupid kids we were, we used them all up on our other someone's.
Maybe it was love, maybe it was naivety, and maybe it was just two empty people looking for someone to fill them up. But when it comes down to it, it's over, and now I'm even emptier than I was in the first place. I chuckled, a dry humorless laugh as I realized I was 4 blocks away from home. I turned on my heels as the daylight seemed to fade slowly. I can't hate Nick; that would be like hating air. I remember when I was 14, he was my first love. You know who I'm talking about. The only boy you've ever really fallen for and you know that it's true love. It's none of the silly, immature love that people claim they do after a couple of weeks; you've got honesty and loyalty; you fight and yet you still love because you both know what you want. You both know that you were meant for each other so you wouldn't want to mess things up.
No matter how many times you fight, you know deep down that you could never truly be mad at them. To think that they were out of your life before is just simply amazing how you ever lived before at all. Not a day goes by without you constantly thinking about them and it scares the hell out of you to think "If I'm so in love with this one person, this person that I love with everything I have, how do other people move on and love another?" you're so emotionally attached to this boy that you're so scared to love someone else. This boy taught you the real meaning of love and you never thought you had love in you until he came along and showed you.
You never knew the meaning of jealousy was until every time he mentioned a girl, it made you want to make sure that you were the best thing he has. everything you've dreamt up of a perfect boy was nothing compared to what this boy has because it made you see that not everything you want is everything you need. You'll never forget the boy that changed your whole life because he's your best friend, and the love of your life. It was like a smack in the head and I'm terrified of what could happen. I walked up to my door and rang the door bell a couple of times. My mom opened the door as she engulfed me in a warm hug.
"I love you, mom." I murmured as I snuggled my head above her shoulder blades.
"I love you too, sweetheart." She kissed my forehead before she gently pushed me away and moved aside so I can walk in. I took a step inside the house as I looked around. Our house still had that homey feeling with the brown and other warm colors. I felt safe. I hastily ran to our living room as I saw everyone, including Demi and Justin, was watching E! News while sitting down the sofa.
"I just got back from the hospital and no hug?" I whined as watch them whip their heads around all conveying the same look on their faces. Shock. Happiness. Confusion. I briefly ran towards the couch, jumped on it then, started hugging everyone my arms were able to reach.
