A/N: Thank you so much for getting the two reviews I asked for! :) You guys rock! How about three reviews for the next one this time. :)

To Gabby: No, I haven't seen Demi in concert sadly :( but I hope to someday! That would be amazing! I would say my favorite song of hers is Two Worlds Collide because it fits me and my best friend so well. It's like our song and whenever I'm feeling low and I can't see her I listen to that song and it makes me feel better :)

Chapter 10:

I stood there in total shock. Divorced? I couldn't believe it. Things seemed to be getting better. What happened? "I know this may seem like a surprise to you but-"

"A surprise? This is like a bombshell!"

"I know this is going to take some getting used to but-"

"Please don't. I do not want to hear this right now."

"We need to talk about this."

"No, we don't." I walked into my room, slammed the door and locked it. I slid to the floor and tears came rolling down my cheeks. Just when I thought things were getting better they turn for the worst.

Later that night, I woke up from what only felt like a five minute nap, and was surrounded by darkness. My stomach started to growl so I slugged my way out of my room and into the kitchen where I was surprised to find my dad. "What are you doing here? I thought mom kicked you out." I crossed my arms over my chest, waiting. "She didn't kick me out. I left."

"You left?" I did not see this coming.

"There was just no way were going to be the way we were before my problem."

"You guys never tried! It hasn't been that long!"

"I'm sorry honey, but this is what's best."

"You're a coward."

"Honey-"

"No! You know what, you were right to leave. Mom deserves better than a drunk. I don't blame her for cheating." I saw my dad's face turn a deep red. He stood up and was now inches from me. He looked like was about to hit me. He raised his hand and I closed my eyes waiting for the impact. After a few seconds of nothing happening I opened my eyes and saw him put his arm down. "You can think what you want about me and say what you want about me but that doesn't change my mind. I'm not going to stay with your mom just to make you happy. You can hate me all you want. I know what I'm doing is for the best and that's all that matters." And with that he was gone. My appetite had disappeared along with my dad.

The rest of the week went by in a blur. My dad never came back to the house. He only had his bar buddies come get the rest of his things. My mom hadn't left her room since she dropped the news on me. I tried to be there for Nick the best I could, but it was hard to focus. I still haven't told him or Demi about my parents."Are you okay?" Nick asked trying to get my attention. "What? Sorry." I said snapping back into reality.

"Are you okay? You seem to be somewhere else."

"I'm sorry. I've just been really tired."

"Trouble sleeping?"

I half smiled."Yeah, that's it."

"So, are we still on for talking this weekend?"

"Oh, yeah no problem."

"Good." He was trying so hard to work things out. I smiled at him and kissed his cheek. I could see his face flush a little, but he turned away trying to hide it.

Saturday morning I was waiting for Nick to pick me up. We were going to get some lunch and finally talk. My mom finally came out of her room and honestly, she looked horrible. Her eyes were red and puffy, and it looked like she hadn't gotten a good night's sleep for a while."Are you okay, mom?" I asked letting her adjust to the light. "I'm fine." She mumbled. I rolled my eyes, knowing she was far from fine. "Let me get you some coffee." My mom fell to the couch and looked like she had no intention of moving.

I came back ten minutes later with a fresh cup of coffee and some pain relievers for the headache I knew she had. She quickly swallowed the pills and took a large gulp of coffee. "Better?" I asked. She nodded and laid back on the couch and shut her eyes falling into a deep sleep. That was all she's done since my dad left. I put a blanket on her and walked out the front door, hearing Nick honking to let me know he was there. "Hey." He greeted me. I smiled back and shut the car door and buckled my seat belt. "So, where do you want to go?"

"I don't care." He nodded and drove.

After what felt like an eternity, we finally arrived at a small café. We ordered and while waiting for our food Nick broke the silence. "So, where should we begin?" I didn't answer him right away. I just looked down at my hands; my thoughts were still on my mom. Luckily I snapped out of it before Nick could realize I wasn't paying attention. "Where do you want to begin?"

"Should I start with how sorry I am breaking up with you? Because I really am. I would take it back if I could. "

"Why did you do it? I understand that you wanted to keep the secret, but was breaking up with me really the only choice you had? I was asking for an explanation."

"It was an impulse move. I wanted to take it back the second I said it. I was just scared. You understand being scared don't you?"

"Yeah, I guess I do."

"But now you know and I wouldn't make the same mistake twice if you gave me another chance."

"I still don't know if I'm ready to open up yet." Nick's face fell so far that if it could, it would have fallen to the floor. "Why not? I told you my deepest darkest secret and you still don't know if you can open up to me?" He sounded angry.

"Don't get mad at me! I'm not used to people caring this much, Nick! I don't like to feel weak and venerable and that's what talking about it does to me!"

"Being human doesn't make you weak, Miley." Nick said covering my hand with his. I bit my lip to stop the tears from rolling down my cheeks. I took a deep breath and opened my mouth to speak when a waiter came over to give us our food, only this waiter was Liam. Oh God I thought to myself. "Well, well, well, if it isn't Miss Miley." He smirked. "Liam." I hissed.

"Who is this?" He asked smirking. "My boyfriend!" I blurted out. I saw Liam's smirk disappear and Nick's grow. What did I just get myself into?
