Oops, last time I updated this one was October. Sorry. I have no excuse. I just got lazy. I'm sorry. But I've been feeling a lot of love for Niley lately and it's almost summertime. I started writing these and falling more in love with Niley in the summer so hopefully I'll really get back into these.

Miley had sat for a while waiting for Nick's text. She'd never felt so terrible before. Liam's anger got to her so bad, but then she had a thought, why? She'd promised her self she wouldn't let tabloids get to her anymore. Who was Liam to tell her who she should and shouldn't date. He'd only known her for a little while. Hell, he hardly even knew her at all. He wasn't exactly a tabloid but he knew even less about her than the gossip columnists did.

Her tears started to stop, but she still desperately waited for Nick's text. How am I gonna explain this to him? If he wasn't freaking before, he will now. She put herself together and walked to her trailer. When she got there was no one. Normally Miley's mom or sister was there but it was so nice here in Georgia, it was hard to just sit in the trailer. So Miley was left with her own thoughts.

She went to the table and opened the blinds; she had a view of the ocean. As she watched the waves crash onto the sand she saw a figure approach the shore. It was Liam. He sat on the sand and just stared at the horizon, left to his thoughts too. Miley did feel bad for yelling at him, and although it may have been out of line for him to say that, he obviously was just trying to do right. He was a gentleman and Miley knew that. He opened the door for her, addressed superiors by "ma'am" and "sir", and always respected people, except for now. But why?

Miley hadn't realized she'd been watching him this entire time. She only realized she had been when he turned around and saw her in the window watching him. She quickly turned her head and felt her cheeks burning. She looked again to see if he was still looking but he had moved. He was headed for her trailer.

Shit shit shit.

Miley waited to see if he was headed for her or maybe to the food table. Then she heard a knock on the door. She knew she had to deal with this. They were doing a scene soon and had to get through this and get back to a clean slate. Then she heard the knock on the door. She slowly got up and opened the trailer door.

"Hey."

All Nick could think about when the plane was landing was texting Miley. The second he felt the tires hit the ground he reached his hand in his jacket pocket and turned on his phone. He didn't pull it out yet because he knew his mother would throw a fit if she saw it. But once the pilot came on and said it was safe to get up and exit the plane Nick whipped out his phone and immediately wrote Miley a text.

"hey, just landed, give me a call when you're free."

He was confident that Miley would respond in a matter of seconds so he tucked away his phone again and exited the plane and headed to the car.

Fifteen minutes had passed before he realized she hadn't answered, the car was already almost to the venue. He pulled out his phone and there were no new messages. Maybe she's in the middle of a scene. I think she said something about doing a scene soon, right? He thought to himself, making excuses for why she wasn't answering.

Why am I freaking out? I told her that I trusted her, why is it getting to me this badly?

Maybe because she's never taken this long to text you back. Nick's thoughts started arguing with themselves.

Yeah, but now she's doing her first major film where she's the star, I'm sure she just wants to do a good job and make a professional impression on the crew.

Or maybe she just doesn't want to text you.

Nick stopped his thoughts and turned to Joe. "So, wanna try any new flips tonight?"

"Uh, no thanks." Joe looked at Nick oddly, "Where did that come from?"

"I just, I don't know. It's nothing."

"Nick, just tell me, no point in hiding it. I'm your brother and band mate, eventually I'll hear about it."

Nick sighed, "Miley begged me to text her once we landed and I texted her immediately. I wasn't expecting more than a one-syllable response, but I haven't gotten anything. I don't know if I'm just being clingy or justified in being concerned."

"I guess that is weird that she hasn't texted you because she's so attached to her phone, but I mean, maybe she's just in the middle of a scene." Joe responded with.

"That's what I was thinking, but when she's on Hannah she still gets back to me in a few minutes. It's been almost 20 minutes since I texted her."

"Well, this is kind of different that Hannah. I mean it's a more serious, it's a drama and she's making first impressions right now so maybe she just doesn't want to be pegged as a girl glued to her phone."

"Yeah." Nick didn't want to keep talking about it, he just wanted to forget about it and not think about it until he got to talk to Miley about it.

They arrived at the venue soon after that. The day went by fast until Nick would look at his phone. It was like he would be moving around, getting things ready, it was a good distraction and he wouldn't even think about it. But then when things were slow or his phone would go off he'd get excited only to be disappointed. Then he'd need to start doing something else to distract him again. Meet and greets went by quickly, most girls just giggled and smiled when they met them. Nick figured it was because they were so star-struck. But there was one girl who reminded him of Miley. She was just out there and goofy and had the prettiest smile, next to Miley's of course. That made it hard, because then he started thinking about Miley again.

After the meet and greet he pulled out his phone from his pocket and looked to see if he had any messages and his heart gave a sigh of relief when he saw that Miley had finally texted him.

"good to know. i got a little caught up in filming, can i call you?"

Nick wanted to just call her right then but he realized he had to get on stage in an hour and there was still a lot to do. He texted her back with:

"how about i call you after the show, say 10pm, my time? i have to get ready now."

He was sure she would say okay to that, but then again she'd been surprising him a lot. This time she responded immediately, that's my girl, Nick thought.

"sure, love ya."

They were getting dressed, little bit of make up and hair, getting earpieces and instruments all ready. Then it was finally show time.

The show went quickly, the love of his fans always made Nick feel better. No matter what kind of mood Nick was in, whether he wanted to do a show or not, after the first song he was always in an immensely better mood. He would never get over how much he loved his fans and how much they loved him.

When he got done with the show he grabbed his phone from his mom and went to change and find a place to call Miley in privacy. He quickly changed and dabbed off the sweat that was still rolling down his face. He found a stairway that was down an empty corridor. Nick dialed Miley's number quickly. It hadn't changed ever since he knew her so he had it memorized.

It was a few rings before she finally answered.

"Hey." Miley said.

"Hey babe." Nick responded with. It was silent for a second. "How was your day?"

"It changed so much to say the least." Miley said. Nick just waited for her to finish her story.

"Well, after we hung up apparently Liam heard most of the conversation. He figured out you were my boyfriend and apparently he wasn't okay with that. I mean I know he wasn't thrilled that I had a boyfriend but he was even less happy when he found out it was you. I guess he was mad because I wasn't giving him a chance because I was with you and I'd already given you chances and stuff. Well I kind of yelled at him and he left. But then I was waiting for you to text me when he came to apologize to me and we talked, for a while. We talked about this helmet we all wear and we just really connected. I mean he's really awesome and I totally had him all figured out wrong." Miley said all of this in what seemed like one sentence.

"Are you breaking up with me Miley?" Nick asked. She giggled but Nick was serious.

"No, no, no. I even think you and Liam would get along. But we put the whole thing behind us and we just spent the whole day together. A bunch of us all went out to dinner and we danced and I've never had this much fun. I mean this feels like what a real teenage summer is. Being out in the sun all day, going out at night. I think this is going to be a great summer."

Nick smiled, he was glad she was so happy. He wished he could've been with her. He was jealous. Normally there is nowhere else he'd rather be than on tour but he missed Miley, a lot. He was jealous of the "normal" teenage summer she was having without him.

"That's great, Miley, I wish I could be there." Nick said with as much enthusiasm as he could gather.

"I wish you could be here too, but I know how much your tour means to you."

Nick sighed. "Yeah, the crowds are great and I just love it. After doing 'Before the Storm' I keep thinking you're going to just show up from under the stage one of these times."

"That was a really special night Nick, and I'll never ever forget it."

Nick smiled, "Me too."

"Me too? Nick is that the best you can come up with?" Miley said in a teasing voice.

"Hey, at least I didn't wait until right before I was about to go on stage to text me back." Nick knew she was kidding but he was a bit upset that she hadn't even said sorry about taking so long to get back to him.

It was silent. "I'm sorry, I guess I just caught up in talking with Liam and filming I just didn't think about it until then. I didn't mean too. I'm sorry." Miley sounded hurt.

"I'm sorry, I was just worried. It's not normal for you to take so long to text back." Nick said laughing at the end, trying to lighten the mood. It didn't work.

"Yeah, weird. Well, I have to get up early tomorrow and do a lot of shooting including some night scenes so I probably won't get a lot of chances to talk to you. But I'll try to text you when I have time and I'll let you know when I won't be able to text back right away. So yeah, goodnight."

"Oh, okay. Goodnight, I love you." Nick said.

"Love you too." Miley added before hanging up the phone.

Nick sighed, Good job you jerk. He got up and rejoined his family who were now getting on the bus. He climbed into bed and fell asleep instantly.
