Chapter seven

I stayed in the house for a week, and only let in Cody, when nick called, I let it go to the machine, when he came over to try to talk, I ignored him. I hate him, though I really still love him, but I know he doesn't feel the same way.

It's been 2 weeks since what happened, and nick stopped trying last Friday, I went outside to get the mail, then a car pulled up to my house, a girl walked out.

Selena: um, this isn't nick grey's house is it?

Miley: no, it's the one across the street.

Selena: (laughs) thanks, sorry, just, so hard, they all look the same.

Miley: ya.

Selena: (walks across the street)

Nick: (answers the door)

Selena: Nicky! (Kisses him)

His girlfriend… that's why he acted like I was only a friend, a sister. He had a girlfriend, figures; someone that gorgeous would still have someone as beautiful as her. Then I met eyes with nick, I ran right into the house, forgetting I left the mail scattered on the sidewalk. I called Cody over; he came over and brought in the mail too.

Cody: what happened?

Miley: (crying) he has a girlfriend! This whole time!

Cody: no!

Miley: (nods)

Cody: that jerk! Leading you on.

Miley: I don't think he lead me on. I just think I was thinking way too much of all of this, I can't believe I was so stupid…

Cody: you're not stupid.

I love Cody, but he is horrible at lying. He spent the rest of the day trying to sooth me, and it didn't work all that well.
