In the last chapter:

"Justin's given me everything," Miley said with a calmer tone. "He was there when you weren't, he loves me, he wants me and no one else...I can't just leave him when I'm suppose to walk down the aisle and meet him at the bottom in 14 days! I can't do that, Nick!"

"So listening...." started Nick but an innocent and sweet voice interrupted him silently.

"Aunty Mi, he's the pretty beast..." said the unique voice of Cindy Mason, making Nick look from Miley to the little girl, confused.

Chapter VIII

What The Hell?

Miley got on her feet quickly and picked the little girl up, hoping Nick hadn't heard what she had said.

"The pretty beast?" Nick asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes," Cindy started before Miley could stop her. "Because you and Aunty Mi are better that Aunty Mi and Uncle..."

"Stop saying stupid things, honey," Miley said through her teeth as she covered her niece's big mouth.

"Where you gonna say 'better than Aunty Mi and Uncle Justin'?" Nick asked her, causing Miley to send him her worst glare. She couldn't believe he was using an innocent child against her.

"I can't believe you!" She shouted at Nick. "And you, missy," she spoke, talking to the girl in her arms. "Need to keep your mouth shut."

Cindy pouted and squeezed out of Miley's tight embrace. She stood on the ground and turned to face Nick, Miley could tell she was examining him.

"I'm Cindy," she greeted in her 5-year-old-matter-of-fact voice. Nick smiled at her and kneeled down to her level.

"I'm Nick," he said, shaking her hand and giving her one of his breathtaking grins.

"And I'm Miley," she said rather sarcastically. "And you and me," I continued, speaking to Nick. "Are done talking."

Having said that, Miley walked out, holding Cindy's hand.

"Yes, I totally get you, everything is just so...oh, no," suddenly said Lilly as she saw Miley coming out of the house.

Joe turned around to see what Lilly was looking at and signed. Miley looked upset and he was sure Nick would come out looking even more upset second later. "I knew this was a bad idea..."

"She's in denial," Lilly muttered. "Well, not in denial, she just doesn't realize that marrying Justin is the worst thing for everyone."

Joe breathed in. "It's not easy realizing that, we nearly didn't..."

Lilly turned around and looked at Joe thoughtfully. That subject hadn't really come up between them since...well...since it happened. Joe and Lilly hadn't only dated...they had actually thought about moving in together and getting married; however, they met Taylor and Oliver and it took a lot from both of them to stop everything and face the truth.

"We could've been happy," Joe continued. "Same as Miley and Justin could be so happy...probably happier that Nick and Miley could..."

"But it's not about that, is it?" Lilly asked, but it was more of a statement than a question. "In the end it's never about being happy...or at least it's not about having an easy and happy life...it's about living with 'happiness', with 'love'..."

"Is that what you think?" a voice behind Lilly and Joe said. They both turned around to find Miley standing there, still beside Cindy. "What? Have you joined Nick's 'it's all about love' club? Well, I've got some info for both of you...it's NOT all about love...I LOVE Justin, okay? Yes, we'll never have anything near what I and Nick do...but it's not about that...the fact is that I can't just dump the guy who's been with me through EVERYTHING!" She shook her head at both of them. "You're my best friends; I thought you were on my side on this..."

After that, Miley turned around and walked away once again.

Lilly and Joe looked at each other, knowing they had messed up.

"Remember you offered me a place to stay to stay?" Lilly asked Joe, with a guilty look in her face.

"Anytime, Lils," Joe spoke. "Come on," he said, putting his arm around her and directing her to the left. "Let's light the candles...I think we're in need of some cake."

---NMNMNMNM---

"Miley, are you okay?" asked Justin as he entered the bed. It didn't take a genius to realize something was up. He looked at her carefully and caressed her cheek.

"I'm okay, Justin," Miley said with a little too much attitude. Justin looked at her, feeling so useless that it hurt. He didn't know what was up with Miley lately, since they arrived in New York nothing had been the same...he would even dare to say that Miley was having second thoughts. He had tried to talk to Miley about it but he was scared; what if the answer to his suspicion was 'yes'? What if Miley didn't want to marry him anymore?

"Fine," he said softly. He leaned down and kissed her forehead gently. "Goodnight, darling."

"Goodnight," Miley replied absently.

Justin tried again. "I love you."

His worst fears started appearing when he Miley didn't say another word.

---NMNMNMNM---

"I can't believe him," said Miley as she read the text on her phone.

Red Danger is available for the wedding...Nick

Miley had been going to the church, to arrange the flowers, but she had had to change her direction and go to Nick's office. Red Danger was one of the hardest rock bands of the moment...and, not that she didn't like rock but, rock wasn't really what she had in mind for her wedding.

She entered the office angrily, only to find Nick's secretary wasn't there and the door to Nick study was open...she could hear talking from inside.

"Sorry to interrupt," Miley said, causing both Nick and Selena to look up. "But I need you to change the hard-rock band you chose for the whole wedding."

Nick smirked and Selena raised an eyebrow at him. "You chose a hard-rock band for a normal wedding? That's not like you, Nick..." she stated with a half-smile.

Miley felt something flutter in her stomach and she knew immediately that she was jealous of the interaction between the two adults, she didn't have a right to be; she knew that, but she also knew she didn't want Nick with no one...wow...she was such a bitch.

"No offence," Miley started with a horrible bitchy tone that not many people had heard. "But shouldn't you be out there and not in here? OUT, is where secretaries usually are..."

Selena looked at her for a second and a cheeky smile appeared on her face, causing Nick to realize something was up. Selena gave Miley a huge fake smile and laughed.

"Honey, I'm not just his secretary," Selena told the girl. "I'm his fiancé too."

Nick was looking straight at Miley and didn't realize what Selena had said until various seconds later. He suddenly turned his head briskly to glare at Selena, what the hell did she think she was doing?

Well, there it is,
