MILEY'S POV
I had been looking for Nick and Justin at the park for a few minutes already, but thankfully I had spotted them under a tree. I soon realized that Nick was talking to a lady who's probably a bit older than me. I felt a little jealous so I pulled Selena with me, and made my way towards the trio. While Selena and I were walking, I observed the lady talking to Nick. She looked decent and pretty, and I could tell she was flirting with my Nicky. I don't know what they are talking about, and I don't care, because I couldn't control myself anymore.
"You look jealous," Selena said while we were walking towards them.
"I'm not," I defended.
She shook her head in disbelief. "Come on, I know you, Mi. You're staring at her as if you want to fry her."
I rolled my eyes in return. I stopped walking as I felt a big wave of jealousy while I saw him write something on her notepad, maybe his number.
"Nick..." I called out. I didn't even think before doing it. I just want to pull him away from her. He's mine.
He turned towards my direction, and I bit my lip in anxiousness.
"Yes, Mi?" he asked sweetly. He looked so innocent.
"We need to go," I told him with a hint of desperation in my voice. He looked so cute, calm, and amazing, so I didn't want to ruin it by stressing him with my obnoxious jealousy.
He smiled warmly and nodded at me. "Okay, Mi, wait a minute."
I couldn't believe he would make me wait! He was just chatting with that girl; why can't he excuse himself from their intriguing conversation and leave with me? My lower lip trembled as I felt the pain in my heart. I didn't expect I would feel this way, but I feel jealous, I couldn't help it!
"Fine!" I spat out as I marched away from him angrily.
"Miley," he called, but I had gone back inside the school building in a matter of seconds.
It had been a few hours after the jealousy incident, and Nick kept following me around like a puppy. He said sorry a couple of times but I'm still upset, so I'm kinda trying to snob him. I kept Selena with me all the time, so she was also off limits to Justin too.
"Mileyyy, would you please just make-up with Nick? My relationship is kinda on hold right now, and I miss Justin!" she whined when we entered the girls' comfort room.
"You still get to see and text him," I said as I faced the mirror and dabbed my face with some face powder.
Selena walked behind me, but she placed herself onto a spot where she could still be seen on the mirror. She placed her hands on her hips furiously and then looked me in the eye through the mirror. "But I want to hold his hand! I want to feel his arms around me! I want to kiss him!" she argued dramatically, like I'm the evil queen and she's the princess. Poor Selena. Geeezz! They had only been apart for like, three hours.
I rolled my eyes in irritation. "Sel! Ok fine, you go out there right now, kiss and hug him all you want, but when I got out, we're going to continue our act."
She sighed and walked towards the sink to wash her hands. "Mi, why don't you just hear him out first? You love him, right?" she asked sincerely.
"Do you want to be with Justin for a while or not?" I snapped at her. I'm not really in the mood to talk to Nick, and I don't want to argue with Selena.
"Ok fine!" she said as she bolted out of the room happily and swiftly.
I sighed as I felt alone in the restroom. I finished retouching my light make-up as several girls stepped in and out of the restroom. I walked out of the room as soon as I was finished. I looked around for Selena, and I ended up finding Nicholas Grey leaning onto the wall outside the rest room.
"What took you so long? I thought something terrible had happened while you were in there," he said dramatically.
I huffed and walked past him, ignoring him, as if I didn't see him.
"Mi, come on, please? Talk to me," he begged as he followed me. Great, where's my freaking best friend, Selena?
"I want to go home," I stated. I really felt so not in the mood to argue or even talk to him. Thank God he just shrugged in defeat and nodded as he led me to the principal's office so he could excuse me from my classes.
When we went out, Selena and Justin were waiting in the hallway and Sel ran up to me to hug me.
"You okay, Miles?" she asked worriedly when she pulled away.
"I'm fine. I'm just tired. I wanna go home," I looked in her eyes, and I knew she got the message. Selena and I have been best friends for years, so we actually had developed a mutual understanding that only us two could understand.
She nodded. "It's okay. Get some rest."
Justin walked towards Selena, and I smiled as I watched them say goodbye to each other.
"Sorry if I can't stay with you, baby," he told her as he caressed her hands.
She chuckled. "It's okay," she said before she leaned and kissed him. Gosh, they look so cute when they kiss. Oh my God, that comment was insane. I got so jealous of them, so I cleared my throat to interrupt them.
"Ehem," I fake-coughed which caused them to both pull away. Selena sent me a death glare, while Justin blushed and scratched his head.
Nick, Justin, and I, walked Selena to her next class before we headed to the parking lot.
I walked with Justin beside me, and Nick was ahead of us.
"Sorry you weren't able to spend quality time with Sel today because of me," I told Justin while we were walking.
He shrugged but gave me a smile. "It's okay. I understand, but Nick's really upset."
"I'm just not in the mood today. When I saw him with the lady, I just really got pissed," I admitted.
"Nick really loves you, Miley," he told me.
I sighed. "I know. I'm just being stubborn. I'm still pissed."
"I hope you and Nick would be able to fix this today. It's better sooner than later," Justin said in a low tone as Nick made his way to the driver's side of the car.
"We eventually will." I nodded as he opened the car door for me and I slipped inside.
The car ride home was silent, and it was kinda creepy.
We got to the house in less than thirty minutes, and I was climbing up the stairs when I realized I left my books in the car. "Justin? Would you please get my books? I left it in the backseat."
"I'll get it," Nick said before rushing out.
Justin chuckled, and I rolled my eyes at him before walking to my room.
I was walking along the hallway towards my room, busy with my own thoughts, when I heard someone call my name. "Miley..." he called. I instantly knew it was Nick.
Before I could turn my body towards him, the books in his hands collided with the side of my right waist, hitting a very sensitive spot.
"Ouch!" I shrieked in pain.
"What's that?" he asked worriedly as I shielded the side of my waist with my hands. God, it hurt so much! I bit my lower lip to prevent myself from screaming, but my tears fell freely from my eyes. He got more worried when he got the chance to flip the hem of my blouse up and he saw my bruise. "Where did you get this?"
"I'm fine. It's nothing," I said as I yanked my blouse down and dragged my pained body towards my room.
"Where did you get it?" he asked again as he trailed behind me.
I sighed. There's no point in lying, so I've decided to tell the truth even if sounds stupid of me. "I hit myself with the sink in the girl's bathroom."
"I'm sorry," he told me as he pulled my shoulder bag from me, so she could carry it. I expected he would laugh at me, or make fun of me, but he didn't. He really looked concerned.
"Just go home, Nick," I said as I walked inside my room.
"Baby," he called sweetly and almost desperately.
"Go away, Nick," I said as I sat on the edge of my bed and took off my shoes.
Like what I have expected him to do, he dropped my stuff on the floor before he made his way towards my direction.
"Is your bruise still hurting?" he asked me sincerely as he sat beside me on the bed.
"I'm fine!" I said annoyingly.
"Shhh. Come here, baby," he said as he carefully wrapped his arms around me, afraid he might put pressure on my bruise. I didn't have the strength to pull away. My bruise really hurt, and his warm embrace soothed me. I gave up and wrapped my arms around him in return. I couldn't help but stop ignoring him.
We just stayed like that for a few moments, just hugging each other, making up for the time we missed each other. How did I become so stubborn like that?
"Just lie down here and I'll get you an ice pack, okay?" he instructed as he helped me lie down comfortably on the bed.
I soon got left alone in the room, and I waited for him to come back. Luckily, he came in the room after three to five minutes, holding the ice bag in his hand. He sat beside me and lifted my blouse to inspect my bruise.
"Do you like to change your pants into comfy ones?" he asked, talking about my skinny jeans. I nodded and he mumbled something about getting fresh clothes from my closet. He got up and walked inside my walk-in closet.
He came back in the room holding fresh clothes. He helped me undress myself, and onto the comfortable clothes he got from my closet. He then inspected my bruise again, and he gently placed the ice bag over it. I hissed at the coldness of the ice and the stinging of the bruise, but the pain soon numbed away.
"Were you jealous?" he asked me. He was serious and not just asking it to tease me. He really wanted to know if I got jealous.
I closed my eyes for a moment. "You made me jealous."
"I'm sorry. It won't happen again. I didn't mean to make you jealous," he explained anxiously.
I opened my eyes. "Are you sure?"
He took my hand in his own ones, and he kissed the back of my hand sweetly. "Yes, and I dont want a jealous and grumpy Miley," he teased, but I know he meant it.
I chuckled and squeezed his hand. "Don't make me jealous again."
"I won't. You're my only girl, Mi," he said before dropping a kiss on my forehead.
"But I'm too young. You should be dating women your age," I confessed frustratingly.
"But I love you," he replied, and it sent my eyes towards his chocolate brown ones.
I know his reply was short and simple, but I could feel that it's the truth. It's the only thing I wanted to hear.
"I love you too. Promise me you wouldn't look on other women; that you wouldn't get too interested about them anymore," I told him anxiously. He smiled at me and brushed his lips on mine softly.
"Not anymore, because I already have you," he said sincerely. What he told me totally made me smile from ear to ear. It made me feel special. I have never felt special for a long time.
"I'm sorry if I doubted you," I told him. I was aware that anxiousness was evident in my voice. I really felt so down because I didn't trust him enough.
"It's normal," he muttered. "What did you feel?" he asked curiously.
I sighed and wrapped my arms around him tightly. "I got scared. I really love you and I don't want to get heartbroken again."
"I won't hurt you. I will protect you. I would even protect you from myself if it comes to that," he told me sweetly.
I remembered my father; if he knew about this, he would make sure that Nick and I would separate, and I don't want that to happen. He doesn't like me to be distracted. His concern is towards my focus on studies.
"Daddy shouldn't know about this," I said in a low voice.
"I know. When he finds out, I'm gonna be fired," he said, sighing in defeat.
I looked up in his eyes. "I don't want that to happen."
"I won't let that happen. I don't wanna leave you unprotected," he told me sincerely.
"Is that all?" I teased as I bit my lip.
"I don't want to leave my love with some other guards who aren't sincere on protecting her," he told me, sending butterflies inside my tummy.
I giggled and kissed his lips lovingly. "Now I know why I liked you. You want to protect me not just because you're going to be paid."
"Tell me about your old bodyguards," he requested.
"I think I had four major bodyguards; Alec, Drew, Josh, and Dean. They are all douche bags. They don't really take care of me. They just guard around. You're the only one who made an effort to get to know me. That is why you are my favorite," I admitted. I could feel myself blush after telling him that, and if was confirmed when I heard him laugh. He would always laugh when he would see me blush.
"And?" I asked.
He looked at me lovingly, and I couldn't help but feel so head over heels in love with him. "You are my love," he murmured before kissing me deeply.
Nick and I were acting all sweet again, and I was thankful that whenever there would be ladies flirting with him, he would act polite instead of flirting with them back.
We were hanging out in the mall with Selena after school, and we were doing a little shopping. I was alone in one corner, looking all through the racks of clothes, trying to find something I like, when an old guy, probably in his forties, approached me.
"Aren't you Mr. Robert Stewart's daughter?" he asked in a nice tone, but I could sense that he's just faking.
"Ummm…" I felt scared and I didn't know what to say. Where the hell is Nick?
He seemed to notice my anxiousness. "No, I mean no harm. My daughter looks up to you. She's fifteen years old and she wants to study in your school and be close to you," he said, trying to light up the mood. "She was with me a while ago, but she's outside the store now, waiting for her mother. Would you please do me a favor and meet her?" the old man asked.
I looked around for Nick, Selena, or Justin, but I didn't find them. "Umm, I think I should ask my bodyguard first," I said as I tried to walk away from him.
He walked towards me and gave me a smile that looked like sincere, but looked like sick to me. "Please? She really wants to meet you. It won't take too long," he said as he took a grip on my arm.
I panicked a little, but I didn't dare show him. He started to pull me with him, but I tugged for my arm. "I can't leave this place without my body guard."
He didn't say anything, but he tightened his grip on my arm and tugged me towards the exit of the store. I looked around the area and I wasn't able to find a single person lurking around. Where the hell are the people here? I got so scared that I screamed, "Help!"
The man looked at me with anger evident on his face. "Shut up!" he growled at me. He covered my mouth with his big hand, and he picked me up. I struggled away from his filthy hands, but he was too strong. I thought of self defense, but I really felt so scared that I didn't know what to do. I remembered one thing, though. I bit hard on his hand that was covering my mouth. He yelped in pain and released me. I ran away, but my body collided with another one, and I screamed in horror.
