Okay, so first I would like to apologize for not updating this story in over a month. I'm sure you have all forgotten about it by now and are probably hitting the back button to figure out what happened before. Lately I just haven't been feeling inspired for this story. I have no idea where to go with it. Right now Still In Love With You is consuming my thoughts. I tried to make this chapter long, but there's no real action or drama in it and I apologize for that.

On that note, after this chapter I will be taking a official hiatus from this story. If you have any ideas on how to end/continue it please, please, please don't hesitate to let me know them. I will definitely credit you if I use your idea.

Anyway, here's the chapter. Personally I hate it, and I would completely understand if you didn't review it. :(

Miley woke up in a sleepy haze. She felt exhausted but when she tried to turn over and go back to sleep she was stopped by something.

She smiled, realizing that last night had not in fact been a dream. Nick's arm was around her waist holding her in place and there was no place she would rather be.

She watched his face as he slept, his eye lids moving rapidly letting her know that he was dreaming.

When they fluttered open and she saw his warm brown eyes and her heart melted.

"What were you dreaming 'bout, baby?" she asked him softly.

"You" he answered looking into her blue eyes, "But then I woke up and you were there and it was much, much better than my dream" he said pulling her closer and pressing his face into her hair.

"I still can't believe you're really here" Miley whispered.

"Me neither."

Miley sat up in bed and Nick followed suit. Before going to sleep, Miley had changed into shorts and a t-shirt, but Nick had not changed at all. His dress shirt was wrinkly and so were his pants. His hair was messy, after all he had just slept on it. His lips were still red and swollen looking from all the kisses they had shared last night. He looked adorable.

"You look beautiful" he told her looking at her messy hair that was tumbling over her shoulders and her make-up free face.

She blushed, "No, I look horrible in the morning"

"Don't say that" he said before leaning in to kiss her.

Miley sighed, "I'm gonna miss not being able to do that every two seconds."

Nick nodded and picked up his phone. He had about five messages from Joe that all said the same thing, "when will you be home?" Miley had gotten up from the bed and was now sitting at her desk checking her email and stuff.

"Baby?" Nick asked.

"Mmmhmm?" she answered.

"I'm really, really sorry, but I have to go soon"

Miley just nodded and turned around in her chair to face him. She knew she had to be strong for Nick's sake. She knew he felt terrible about having to leave her and she hated seeing him so distraught.

It was almost ten in the morning on a Saturday by this time so Miley and Nick stuck out her open window again so no one would see them. Male over night visitors were definitely not allowed.

Miley went into the dinning hall and quickly came out with two muffins: One blueberry for Nick and one chocolate chip for herself.

She handed him one and he grabbed her free hand as they walked to his car. She nibbled on her muffin nervously. She wasn't really sure how she was going to be able to handle this goodbye.

Last time she had her anger at her dad to fixate on, not to mention getting situated at a new school. Now she worried that she would have nothing at all to distract her from missing Nick. She wasn't sure how she could possibly say goodbye to him.

Nick was feeling the exact same way. He didn't know how he was going to be able to get in that car, put it in to drive, and leave her standing there. He could tell that she was upset, how could she not be? He was slightly scared she might do something crazy in his absence. But he knew he had to get back home before anyone suspected anything.

When they got to his car, they both stood there, not really sure what to do next. Miley placed her muffin on the hood of his car and he did the same. She wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face into his chest. She inhaled the scent of him, trying to keep it locked in her mind.

He put his hands around her waist and pulled her closer as he leaned his back against the car door. He buried his face in her hair and just concentrated on being with her right there in that moment.

They stood like that for a long time, just holding each other and not saying anything. Both of them were trying to savor this moment to keep it for bad days or when things got too hard.

Finally Nick brought his hand to Miley's chin and pulled her face up to meet his eyes. Hers were shining with tears and he was pretty sure his were too.

"Don't cry" he begged.

"I don't want to" she said, "But I can't help it. I don't know how I'm going to do this without you"

"It's gonna be okay," he told her, "You have my number, call or text me anytime. Besides you'll be home for Thanksgiving right? That's only a few weeks away."

Miley smiled at his attempt to be positive. She knew that he was right, but she still didn't want to have to say goodbye to him.

She brought her lips to his one last time and he opened her mouth with his tongue and she happily let him in. She grabbed the curls at the back of his neck and he pressed her body even closer to himself.

When they finally stopped kissing Nick rested his forehead on Miley's.

"I love you, okay?" he said quietly, "Don't ever forget that."

Miley nodded slowly. She didn't trust her voice to say anything except a quiet "love you too"

He got into his car and she stood on the curb as he pulled away. She followed the black car with her eyes until it made the turn. Only then did she let the tears flow down her face. As she walked back to her dorm she was sure everyone was watching her. She kept repeating his words in her head it's gonna be okay, it's gonna be okay, it's gonna be okay…

p.s. This is totally random, but did anyone else hear that rumor that Nick and Selena were spotted at a movie theater in Texas on a date? That seriously disturbed me. Worst of all, rumor has it they watched Bolt. That's not awkward...
