The Heart Never Lies

Chapter Ten

After that day, I swear I saw Selena everywhere. Before, it was very rare that I saw her or even really noticed her because she was shy and always stayed in the background. But now, I saw her in the hallway as she walked. Sometimes I would see her shyly glance over at Nick and me but he never noticed. I even seemed to stare at her during the few classes we had together. She just seemed to be on my mind all the time, no matter how hard I tried to push her and our talk to the back of my mind.

The only other person on my mind twenty-four seven was Nick. Ever since we became official we were inseparable. If we weren't attached to each others sides then we were connected at the lips. I think we actually did spend more time...fooling around then anything else and it was honestly the best time I'd ever had.

Even though we mad out a lot and came close to actually having sex, we still stopped ourselves from actually doing it. Well, more like he would stop us. He always made up some kind of an excuse and we would just lay there and hold each other and I wouldn't think about it until the next day because he made me forget for the time being. He was really good at making me forget everything. I didn't even really worry about Maci's comments anymore which believe me was really really hard.

I finally felt like I was apart of the school now, like I wasn't just the new girl who caught the attention of the star athlete. No, now I had a place as being his girlfriend and was now a co captain on the squad. Which didn't go over to well with a certain girl but like I said, she didn't bother me.

I was so wrapped up in being with Nick pretty much all the time that I pretty much went into a panic attack when he wasn't around. Well not a shaking and crying mess but I did ask questions until I found out where he was or until he showed up.

This particular incident was the start of me finding out another secret about Nick.

The cheer squad was having practice after school along with the football team. All of the girls were stretching, warming up before we started doing routines. I was leaning forward and touching my hands to my toes while looking at the boys on the field who were also warming up. I trying to spot Nick because it was always my favorite thing to do, watching him all sweaty...gross, maybe, but he sure looked good. But he wasn't there.

"Where's Nick?" I asked Demi, who was sitting beside me, doing the same stretch I was.

She didn't even look up when she replied and paused before she spoke. "I don't know." Then she stood up and told the girls to start running laps. I quickly jumped up and started jogging alongside Demi.

I could tell that she was lying and I was tired of being lied to in the past and I didn't want it to start up again. "Come on Dems, don't lie to me."

She sighed and stopped jogging, so did I. "Listen, you really need to ask Nick this stuff. That's all I can say." She looked up for second then nudged me. "Looks like you can ask him now."

I turned and saw Nick striding through the gate. His eyes were instantly on mine and he smiled the faintest of smiles. I ran over to him and wrapped my arms around him.

"Hey." He mumbled into my neck, tickling my skin.

I pulled away, just enough so our lips could meet. His taste was so sweet and addicting. I thought I could never tire from these moments with him.

"Where have you been?" I whispered against his lips.

He tensed up for a mere second but his cool stance was instantly back. "Just running late, baby."

I twisted my lips but I didn't want to press into the subject now. I thought that I'd wait after practice.

We didn't really talk after practice though, our mouths were a little busy doing other things. I love when we laid on his bed and his hands would softly caress and rub wherever he placed them. His tongue sent chills down my spine and every other nerve ending I had when he started his oral assault on my neck. But my favorite part had to be his hair. I couldn't grab it or tug it enough. It was the perfect length and so thick. His hands were skimming up my my shirt then he cupped my breast. I started raising my hips up to meet his when he suddenly pulled away.

"We should stop...we could could watch a movie or something."

My head fell back against the pillows and I let out a loud breath. "Why do you always do this?"

He knotted his eyebrows together. "Do what?"

I propped my self of on my elbows. "You know...you always stop and completely change the subject when we're like this." I said, motioning to the rather small space that was between us.

He completely separated our bodies as he sat up and ran his hands over his face. I sat up beside him and leaned my head onto his shoulder.

"You always seem like you're ready...to go forward with out relationship but you always stop." I said, lacing our fingers together.

He kissed my head and breathed deeply. "Mi, I'm sorry, it's just...I'm just...complicated."

"You can't sleep with me but you can hook up with other girls?" I shook my head and abruptly pulled away from his, sitting in front of him.

"Miley, that's not fair."

"Why not? Because me being lied to and kept in the dark about everything is?"

"I didn't say that." He started protesting.

"Just because you got Selena..."I stopped talking once I looked into his eyes. They were foggy.

"Where'd you hear that?"

I sighed. "I met up with Selena and she told me."

He bowed his head and shook it. I scooted closer and cupped his cheeks. "Just...tell me what happened. I want to know."

"You mean, this doesn't scare you away?"

I smiled and shook my head. "How could you scare me away? I love you, Nick." I whispered those three words that had just slipped out and it felt right to finally say them.

He smiled to and said he loved me. I snuggled up to his side and waited for the story to begin.

"Selena and I... we were in love. Hard to believe being so young. But we were. We could keep off of each other for second." He stopped and cleared his throat. "We were uh each others firsts."

I had to close my eyes at that but I knew it was stupid for me to be mad since Nick wasn't my first. I opened them and he continued.

"Selena was this bubbly bright eyed girl. She cheered and was always happy. She always thought of others before herself and tried to make everyone else happy. It may be hard to believe but her, Demi, and Maci were very close friends."

I looked up at him in shock and he nodded. "I know. Maci didn't use to be-"

"A crazy stalker bitch?" I added for him.

He laughed and nodded. "I know, I know. But Demi stayed the same, thankfully." That's when I started to wonder if he knew about the drugs.

"Anyway, one day Selena was crying, she was in hysterics and telling me that she was pregnant. I couldn't believe it. It was only one time that we didn't use protection so I didn't think it mattered." He whispered. "But she was. I promised her that I'd be there for her always and that I'd support whatever decision she made."

He breathed deeply. "She wanted to keep and I was perfectly fine with that, just scared I guess. But I was going to be there for her, I promised her forever. We went to doctors appointments and started talking about names. Then it was time for another monthly appointment and this one was going to tell use the sex of the baby."

I could feel him tense as the story progressed. I gripped his hand tighter and shifter closer to him.

"The doctor was doing that um sonogram thing and he didn't say anything for a while. He just kept moving the thing around her stomach and looking at the screen." The strain in his voice was now evident. "He said there wasn't a heartbeat anymore. Just like that...gone. He said miscarriages were common during the early stages."

I looked up at him and saw a single tear sliding down his cheek. I wiped it away with my thumb and hugged him tight.

"After that Selena just shut down. She didn't talk, she didn't get out bed, and she didn't eat. I tried to help her and I'm still trying."

"Why'd you guys break up?" I asked.

He shook his head. "She just told me to leaver her alone one day so I started...uh seeing other girls but I still try with her. I bring her food in hopes that she'll eat. I talk to her even though she doesn't talk to me."

"You're a good person, Nick. I'm sorry this happened to you. To her." I kissed his cheek and buried my face in his chest. Never did I think that the secret would be this emotional. Then I understood why everyone kept this from me.

"Is that where you were today, with her?" I asked and he tensed again.

"Yeah." Not a lie but still not the whole truth.

"I still don't understand though. How come you can be with those other girls but not with me?"

"Cause, you're different, Mi. I can't hurt you the same way I hurt, Selena."

I moved onto his lap so that I straddled him. "So, no sex, ever?" I joked, trying to lighten the mood.

"Weeelll...I'm not saying ever." His smirk was back and so was our oral attack on each other.
