(Nick's POV)

"Are you sure about this Demi?" I asked her once again, lying across my bed with my phone pressed up against my ear.

"Absolutely, completely and utterly sure, I know that Miley still loves you, she's just having a hard time accepting it." That annoying person I manage to call my friend replied in a irritating tone.

"But why?" I asked her.

"Isn't it obvious? You hurt her really bad, she's never been hurt as much as this, and she's scared of it happening again. And another reason is because of Selena, she doesn't want to lose her friendship again, it means a lot to her." She told me.

"But Selena said she was okay with it, she told me to get back together with Miley, and there's no misunderstanding something like that." I sighed, covering my head with my hands and holding back the urge to go and bite Joe. Who else would I bite? I like the rest of my family, It's just Joe. Mum must've dropped him a lot when he was a baby, probably on the head. It all went so wrong.

"But Miley doesn't know that, just trust me on this one Nick, you're doing the right thing." She assured me. Trust. It's a really strong one. Even when you trust someone with everything you have, they still manage to let you down. I would know, I'm one of those people. How can you ever trust someone after experiences like that? How would Miley ever trust me again after what I did to her? I basically told her I loved her and I'd never forget about her, and then I gave her a damn year of silence. Smart ehh?

"Alright, I will, I just don't want to push her into things she's not ready for." Another sigh escaped my lips. I knew she still loved me, but sometimes loving someone just isn't enough.

"It isn't about being ready, its about risking everything for the one you love, even if it's heartbreak, because she knows you'd give her a second chance if you were in her position. She loves you, she needs you, and you need her, so go ask her out before I come over and slap you into your senses." She warned in a extremely scary and threatening tone. Yes, I was afraid of Demi, you would be too if you knew her.

"Should I go over to hers, or ask her to come to mine?" I asked. Yes, I caved. Firstly because I knew Demi was right, second because I wanted Miley so bad, and third, because I knew if I didn't ask her now, I wouldn't get another chance.

"Ask her to come over, because if you just suddenly pop over at hers she'll be in shock, but if you ask her to come over, she'll come prepared. I'm pretty sure she'll know what your about to ask her, after all the hints you've been dropping. You haven't been very subtle." She laughed slightly at the last comment.

"It was never my intention to be subtle, I wanted to make it clear how I felt about her, and I'm sure she does know." I chuckled, sitting up and getting my laptop out. No new emails. Great, it seems like no one wants to talk to me. Just great.

"Being less of your insecure self Nicholas?" She taunted in a joking manner. Insecure? Me? I am so not insecure. Okay, maybe I am, but that's only with Miley. And my insecurity has shrunk through the years.

"I'm much more confident now thank you very much you little accusing accuser." I told her.

(Miley's POV)

Ugh. I've been thinking over this for over an hour now, and I've come to no decision. I want to date him again, hell yeah I do, but Selena's my friend, and I have to put her feelings first. I know she didn't exactly do that herself, but that's in the past now. And two wrongs don't make a right. I care about her feelings, and even if she wasn't that hurt after being dumped, she will be hurt after I betray her. She at least has the right to find out by me, and not some paparazzi pictures.

"Miley, someone's here to see you." Noah screamed her lungs off, not even having the good manner to come upstairs and tell me. Gee, what a great example. Wait, I'm meant to be the example aren't I? Oh whatever, like I care.

"Coming." I replied, swinging my legs across my bed and smoothing my hair out with my fingers. I hopped down the stairs, not expecting to see who I did. Nick.

"Hey Mi." He gave me a small smile, stuffing his hands into his pockets.

"Uhm, hi." I nodded towards his direction, wondering if Noah was ever going to leave. Whatever we were about to talk about, I didn't want my nine year old sister to be a witness.

"Oh, you want me to leave... you could've said so." She finally caught on, racing up the stairs and slamming her door shut.

"So, did you come here for a particular reason?" I asked, as an awkward silence filled the room.

He ignored my question, his eyes tracing up my body, making me feel extremely self concious. "I'm glad your wearing it." He smirked when he spotted the glimmer of silver hanging from my Nick. "It looks nice on you."

"Thanks." A pale pink colour chalked across my cheeks, as I looked down to hide my flushed face.

"So, I came, because I need to tell you something. Well, I actually already told you, but I need to make it clear." He said. I have a pretty good idea what it could be.

"What is it?" I asked, fear traceable in my voice. He grabbed my hands, lacing them through his. Oh, that felt good. Holding his hand again. Being with him again. Feeling in love. Falling in love. All over again.

He looked up to meet my gaze, and brown met blue. His eyes, they are beautiful. I could stare at them for hours and not get bored. "Miley, I...." He stopped halfway through. "I'm in love with you, and I want you back."

I guess I saw this coming, but it was still a shock, to hear it coming from his lips. To know that he meant them. That he loved me, that sounded so amazing to hear. I opened my mouth to say something, then quickly shut it, before something stupid came out.

Silent tears spilled out my eyes, my gaze still fixated on him. Two muscular arms wrapped tightly around me, as he pulled me into his chest. I missed feeling like this. Feeling loved. The feeling of being in his arms. I feel like I belong here, in his arms.

"I didn't mean to upset you Mi, but I needed to tell you." He whispered softly in my ear. "And I need to know if you still feel the same way."

"I do." I choked out through my tears, pulling away from his warm embrace. "I still love you Nick." There it is. Out in the open. Feels better than I thought it would.

"Then why are you crying?" He soft fingers brushed against my skin, wiping away my hot tears.

"Because, I can't do this, I can't be with you." The waterworks had managed to stop, but my voice was still hoarse.

"Why?" Hurt was evident in his velvety voice. I didn't like hearing it, but the truth has to come out somehow ehh? Because, I just can't be with him, as much as I dearly want too.

"I...." What was I meant to say exactly? 'Because there's a chance you broke one of my best friends' heart.' I can't say that. "I need to talk to Selena." And then I ran.

Don't yell at me. Okay, I have three things to apologize for. One, for a crap chapter. Two, for a short chapter. And three, for ending on a cliffhanger. But in my defence, it would wreck the effect if I didn't end it there. I've been getting a lot of reviews lately, which I'm super happy about, so fifteen reviews? I know you guys can do it, your so awesome. Follow me on twitter, TeamSmileyxo, I'll talk to you, I'm bored, always ;)
