Guess what? Yesterday was MY BIRTHDAY! And I know I shouldn't be doing much writing because I'm suppose to be chilling, but I feel like being generous and giving you guys this chapter. Here you go magi23, thanks for the review. Oh and to everyone else who's ever left them.
Hickies, Razor Blades, and Sharpies
Chapter 14
Miley's POV
"Are you sure you want to go back today? I could come up with a few more reasons on why you could stay home?" my dad said trying to convince me for the thousandths time.
"No I'm fine; have to go back at some point anyway."
"No you don't, we can pick up and move right now." I just smiled at him before giving him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"Its okay daddy, I'm fine." I said smiling.
"Alright bud, but if she says one wrong thing to you call me." I nodded and walked out the door. Once I actually got in the car it all hit me. I'm going to see her today. Can I handle it is really the question.
Alex's POV
Ahh, school. I hate it, but I have to go. Miley is coming back today and I got a huge surprise for her. Although she probably won't even want to talk to me after I ambushed her with my lips. Oh no, I'm such an idiot. She'll never speak to me again. Dumbass, what the hell were you thinking? That's the problem, you weren't thinking. Why do I always have to fuck up everything? Maybe I should just…
"Hey, earth to Alex." I was cut off by the sudden smell of peaches. Harper was waving a brand new marker in my face.
"Ooh, sharpie!" I smiled snatching it out her hand. She just giggled before looking at me serious again.
"What were you just thinking about?"
"Nothing." I said nonchalantly and walked away from car into the building.
"Your lying, what's up?" Harper said running after me. Damn it, I didn't think she would follow
"It's nothing." I said walking on. Just then Demi walked down the hall, oh no tag team.
"Yo Dem, help me get whatever Alex is thinking out." She ran up to us and put her arm around my shoulder.
"Hey best buddy in the whole wide world. It's nice to see you and…"
"I'm not telling you either." She looked hurt.
"Aha! So you were thinking of something." Harper smiled jumping up and down. If the hallways weren't empty she'd probably never do that.
"Yeah, but it's nothing to worry about. Is everything ready for today?" Demi smiled and nodded.
"All we need now is Miley."
"Alright, thank you for helping me guys." Harper hugged me and Demi ruffled my hair. "I just hope this works."
"Don't think like that. It will."Demi said wrapping her arm around my shoulders again.
"Yeah, it'll go great." Harper smiled grabbing my hand. These are the good times when your friends tell you what you wish to hear. Today is the day I'm going to get her back, I have to.
After traveling around the school a little more and A LOT of pep talks, people were beginning to walk in. I went through my first three classes and didn't see Miley. Maybe she didn't come.
Ring, Ring, Rinnng
Finally lunch, at least I could rely on food to always be there for me. I went to the line and grabbed a hamburger, three cookies, a cup of jello, two milks, an apple, and six or seven packets of mustard. "Wow Russo, a little hungry we are we?"One of Oliver's old friends said. Um, what's his name again? It starts with a 'C', um Chad, Cha- Chase. Yeah, Chase.
"Haven't heard from you in a while Chase."
"Yeah, I've been keeping a low profile."
"Oh cool." I said walking to an empty table. He took the seat beside me. "Why?"
"I've got to ask you a question?" I nodded but held my finger up.
"Hold on." I downed two cookies, a whole carton of milk, and drowned the burger in mustard and before taking a huge bite. "Continue."
"What does Rosie like in a guy?" All that was left in my mouth flew out across the table.
"What?" I said almost angry. "I mean, why do you like her? She acts cruel"
"Not anymore, someone must be bribing her because I haven't heard one mean word come out of her mouth all day."
"Yeah, but why are you so interested now?"
"Well you and her haven't been dating for a while, and I just wanted her to take a chance with me now."
"What makes you think she'd even like you?"
"Because you don't just have sex with someone you don't like." What? He's lying Alex, he has to be. I stood up and slammed my hands on the table, which happen to make many heads turn.
"Don't you dare lie to me Chase, because if you are I swear on my…"
"I'm not lying Alex." Just when I was about to punch him in the face a hand wrapped around mine. I could feel that soft flesh I loved and cared for so much. It brought back so many memories of what we used to be. When nothing in the world seemed like it could stop us. I turned around to be face to face with Rosie.
"Don't Alex." She whispered. Then turned around and walked out of the cafeteria. Everything seemed to stop in the world and I didn't like it because I felt like I was the center of attention. After I realized Chase had left I ran after Rosie. I turned a couple of corners but didn't find her. I didn't exactly know why I was looking for her and didn't know what I was going to do when I found her but I knew I had to see her.
I walked slowly back down the hallway and hear someone singing. It's like a whisper but I can hear it, it's coming from the music room. I open the door a little and see Miley at the piano playing her heart out. Her voice seems to go right along with the notes that seem to be pouring out of the instrument. Her head bowed down a little but not enough for me to not see her face. Tears are having races down her face to see who can get to her chin first. Oh no, I broke her heart this back. She'll never love me again. But then I actually listen to the words, and my heart stops a little.
Who you are is falling over me
(Who you are is falling over me)
Who you are has got me on my knees
(Who you are has got me on my knees)
I'm hoping
I'm waiting
I'm praying
You are the one
I shouldn't be listening to this. I don't deserve to hear her say this. I have to go before I do something I will regret. Running down the hall with blurred vision is not the greatest idea because I ran into someone. Why was my vision blurred you ask, because I'm balling my eyes out. "Are you okay?" I say helping the person up.
"Yeah, thanks." Teddy says getting up and rubbing her head. I walked straight passed her and kept going down the hall.
The day sped by after I decided I wasn't going to sing for Miley anymore. Nothing else changed. I'd get out of class just to cry some more and then come back and bang my head on my desk. I was at my very last class with only 20 minutes left when a knock came on the class door. "Come in." the teacher said sweetly and in walked Demi, Harper, and Nick. "How may I help you?"
"Mr. Larietate needs Alex." Nick said.
"And why is that?" Harper walked up closer to her and whispered something in her ear that made her eyes go wide. "Oh um Ms. Russo, report to the office now." I got up from my seat and walked out the door before Harper jumped on my back.
"Yay, it worked." I smiled at her and held her up.
"Well it was kind of believable." Nick said
"What did you guys tell her?" I asked feeling so lost.
"You and some girl got a little too friendly in the principle's office." Demi stated.
"You guys did not?"
"Yep, but Harper added the part about the girl's underwear being found in the top of his desk drawer."
"What?" they all started laughing like crazy, but it was kind of funny so I joined in. "You guys suck, now she's never going to let be in her room alone with anyone." They all shrugged. "So why'd you guys pull me out of class?"
"Your surprise for Miley, or have you already forgotten?" Nick said tapping on my head.
"I'm not doing it anymore."
"Why not?" they all yelled. I placed Harper down and started to walk back to class.
"Alex, a least do it to let her know you still love her." Harper said pulling me back.
"See, that's why I'm not doing it. To let her know I love her." She looked confused.
"That doesn't make any sense. Look, you helped me with Jeremy and now I'm trying to return the favor."
"You've done enough, trust me. It's, it's… just that…." I stuttered trying to come up with the right words before Harper cut me off.
"Alex, stop thinking of reasons to not do this. Please, it will end good in the end." I shook my head.
"No it won't, because I love Rosie just as much as I love Miley. When I'm with one I feel like this is the only girl I want to be with , but when it's both of them together I can't choose. I know I'm being selfish to say why can't I have them both, but I can't help it. If I don't have both of them in my life then I will never feel complete." Ughh I hated crying, but I could feel the tears coming back to me just as strong as when Miley left me at the club. Harper quickly hugged me.
"It's okay, you just have to choose." I pulled away.
"That's the problem I can't." Demi and Nick were just watching from a far as this was going on.
"You have to or you'll end up losing both of them. I'm with whatever you choose, they're both great people."
"You're not helping."
"Oh sorry, I mean…oh I don't know what I meant." I laughed at her and walked back over to Nick and Demi.
"So what's the verdict?"
"I think I have a girl to win back." They exploded in cheers and led me to where all the stuff was.
Okay, so there's only two minutes before school is over and I'm nervous as hell. A black acoustic guitar is planted firmly in my lap with the strap to hold it up around my neck. The band is at the end of the stairway to the school while I'm kind of hiding behind them. Demi is by my side with her guitar too and Nick's got his drums. Harper is somewhere in the front on violin but I can't really see her. Dear God I hope this works.
The school bell echoes through my head, oh shit it's time. "I…"
"Yes you can Alex, I know you. You got this." Demi said smiling at me. After a very deep breath the band began to play my song. I can see her and everyone else stop at the top of the steps. Then Demi starts to count her and me off. "1, 2… 1, 2, 3, go."
I started strumming out the cords without thinking about it. As much as I thought my voice would only come out as a whisper it came out loud. With power, with heart, with love.
(AN: Alex/Demi/ Together)
It's all about you
(It's about you)
It's all about you, baby
(It's all about you)
It's all about you
(It's about you)
It's all about you
Kids were walking down the steps towards us as me and Demi walked closer to the front. There she was, eyes all blue, skin flawless, hair curly, love as great as a first snowy Christmas.
Yesterday, you asked me something I thought you knew.
So I told you with a smile 'It's all about you'
Then you whispered in my ear and you told me too,
Say 'If you make my life worthwhile, it's all about you'
I really am trying here to win her back. I know that this song isn't exactly going to fix everything, but I at least hope it gets her attention. I mean look at her, you could literally die if she didn't pay attention to you. There's no emotion on her face but she still stands there. Eyes piercing directly into mine.
And I would answer all you're wishes, if you asked me to.
But if you deny me one of your kisses, don't know what I'd do.
So hold me close and say three words, like you used to do.
Dancing on the kitchen tiles, it's all about you.
Yeah...
I'm going to get you to love me again Miley, I have to. I can't live in a world with no you. I mean look at me, I'm at your feet singing my heart out. Not to make you fall in love with me instantly but to get you to look at me. To get you to smile. I need you more than air; I love you more than I love myself.
And I would answer all you're wishes, if you asked me to.
But if you deny me one of your kisses, don't know what I'd do.
So hold me close and say three words, like you used to do.
Dancing on the kitchen tiles,
Yes you make my life worthwhile,
So I told you with a smile...
It's all about you.
I'm standing in front of her, fingers still strumming out the chords only wishing for her smile. I need it; I need to see my Smiley Miley. She's what I live for; she's the reason why I'm doing this. Love me Miley, be with me forever and I'll never break your heart again. I swear…
It's all about you
(It's about you)
It's all about you, baby
(It's all about you)
It's all about you
(It's about you)
It's all about you
It ends and there's claps from everyone that watched but on Miley's face was a blank expression. I placed my guitar on my back and look for anything in her eyes. Her head bows down and I lift it back up with my fingers, it's a habit. "Please, just give me another chance to show you that I can be all you want me to be." My fingers are pushed off by hers and in her eyes is something to hard to describe. "I love you." A tear escaped her eyes.
"But I don't love you anymore Alex." She tried to walk past be but I stopped her. I can't let this happen.
"Miley you may hate me but I know you still love me… I mean you have to, I couldn't take it if you d-d-didn't." My voice was failing me and so was my will, because tears began to stream down my face for the sixth time today.
"You're crying." She said in disbelief
"Because I need you Miley, more than anything." I gripped her hands in mine. "Please," I get down on my knees still holding her hands. "Give me just one more shot." She bites her lip and bows her head again dropping her hands from mine.
"I-I c-c-can't." then she ran away leaving me in many tears watching her go.
I lost her.
I really wanted them to get back together in this chapter but yeah it would probably be too soon. I had to let Alex finally admit her feeling about Rosie and Miley. By the way I think that she agreed to do the song for Miley because Rosie wasn't around. Like I told you, she loves both of them equally and when she's around one of them, it's the only one she wants. The first song was a part from Demi Lovato's "Falling Over Me". i'm like addicted to her music. i might write a fic actually using her as a man character. The second song is "All About You" by Mcfly. You know the deal, keep reviewing and i'll keep writing.
