Chapter 25

"Miley." She heard her name being called, she turned around to see that it was him running towards her with red eyes, "Miley, please, let me explain, please, Mi." he said begging.

"There's nothing to explain." She said looking past him tears coming back to her eyes.

"Please, Miley, it wasn't me, it was her, I swear." He said tears running down his face.

"And wh-why didn't you p-pull back?" she said crying again.

"Miley, I was shocked." He said.

"It's not a good excuse, if it was her, then she must be flirting with you first, and yet you kept talking to her."

"I was trying to stop her and walk away."

"But you kissed her back, didn't you?" she said her voice starting to rise.

"Wh-what?" he said shocked.

"That what I expected." She said bitterly as she walked past him.

"No, Miley please, I swear I didn't." he pleaded as he ran after her.

"Just, leave ne now." She said not bothering to look at him. When he didn't reply, she walked away to her next class, even though it didn't start yet, she just sat there crying. She didn't concentrate in any of her classes after that. She was grateful when the day ended, she was the first one who walked out of the school gate, she didn't even bother wait her friends so they can walk together like every day, she took her way to home alone.

When she reached home, she rang the doorbell, and her aunt opened with a smile which turned into a frown when she saw Miley alone and with a miserable expression on her face.

"Oh, honey, what happened?" she asked her as she pulled her into a warm hug. Miley was surprised when she felt comfortable in that hug; she then thought that she needed any comfort even if it was from Mary.

"Nothing, I just need to be alone." She said quietly as she pulled away and went to her room. Mary stood in her place watching where Miley had disappeared in the staircase, she actually was worried about what happened, and why she came alone, she was about to call one of her friends when she saw the regular group minus Miley show up a few houses away. She waited until they reached home, they weren't laughing as usual, they were hardly smiling, but Nick was the expressionless one.

"What happened? Why did Miley come alone?" she asked as soon as they reached the house, when she spoke those words any smile on their faces vanished away.

Nick walked past her to his room, and she looked at the others waiting for an explanation, they entered the house and sat in the living room in silence. "Planning to explain any time soon?" Mary said impatiently as Demi sighed and told her what happened.

"So, he was cheating on her?" Mary asked surprised.

"No, he swore million times that she saw the one who kissed him." Joe said defending his brother.

Miley sat hugging her knees on her bed, she cried her eyes out, she couldn't believe he was kissing another girl, and mostly she didn't want to believe it too.

She looked at the piece of paper the was going to show him, when she saw him with that girl, the song, the song she wrote about him, she didn't write songs from a long time, and when she found her inspiration in him, she wrote that song, because for her he was one in a million, that why she named the song 'One in a million'.

She cried harder when she read the lines she wrote herself. She didn't bother answering the door when someone knocked, hoping that they'll leave her alone, but the door opened and the person entered in silence, setting o the edge of her bed as they closed the door. Miley didn't even look to see who was there, in a try to make them understand she wanted to be alone.

"I know you won't believe me, but ho looks a lot more miserable than you." Miley heard her Aunt Mary saying! "I just came from his room."

Miley turned her head slowly at her, surprised that out of all her friends Mary came to see her, she knew that they'll tell her what happened, but still. "He was the one who caused this." She said bitterly turning her head straight again.

"No," again Miley looked at her surprised, "He didn't," Mary sighed, "Miley, he didn't kiss her, she did. He told me that she was trying to get him from a long time, I know it's not my place to tell you what really happened, but I have to tell you that he didn't want to annoy you by telling you about it, knowing that you have a lot on your mind." And once again, Miley was surprised that Nick told Mary what happened! She didn't reply and turned her gaze away again.

Mary sighed and didn't give up as she continued, "Do you know that you parents were in that situation before?" she said and for the third time Miley looked at her surprised, "It was before me and your father stopped talking, they weren't married yet, they were engaged. One day, they were going to meet at a restaurant, your father was there first, an old friend of his saw him and went directly to hug him a tight hug, just when your mother entered the restaurant, the woman sat and talked to him, and I have to tell you, they were really close, they were great friends, and haven't seen each other for years. Anyway, your mother stood at her place and watched as the woman stood up and kissed him on the cheek, but from the position your mom was standing it looked like it was on the lips. Your mother went and grabbed a hot chocolate cup from a waiter and slipped it all on the poor woman who stood their confused." Mary told her as Miley smiled as she imagined her mother doing that.

"When, she calmed down, I got your father to talk to her, when he explained, she was embarrassed. What I want to tell you here is that you can't judge until you hear the whole story, honey. You two love each other, so why lose your relationship over something that you misunderstand?" she said wisely smiling warm smile at Miley, it looked real, Miley felt that her aunt really care for her, not faking, was it possible that she misunderstood her from the start? She was so sure about her aunt being a bad woman, but then again, her words made sense, and she tried to comfort Miley.

Miley didn't feel close to her aunt before, but right now, she felt she know her for her whole life, so she did the first thing that came to her mind…

She reached out for her and hugged her! Mary smiled at her niece's reaction, "You have no idea how long I've been waiting for that little move from you." Mary said when they pulled away.

"I'm sorry." Miley said with tears forming again in her eyes.

"For what, dear?"

"For treating you bad, I was horrible to you. But now, I think you really care about me." Miley said sincerely.

"It's okay, honey. I was horrible too, when I didn't show up in your life all these years. But I want to make up for that, you have no idea how much I love you and your brother, and how much I miss your father."

"I believe you, Aunt Mary." Miley said and hugged her again, "What should I do?" she asked when she pulled away from the hug.

"Go and talk to him, he really needs you to listen." She smiled and lead Miley to Nick and Joe's room, then left her. Miley took a deep breath then knocked on the door before opening it to see Joe setting next to Nick on Nick's bed, he was talking to him, but Nick wasn't replying.

When he heard the door open, Joe turned and smiled when he saw Miley, "Ok, Nick, I don't think I can do anything to make you even look at me." Joe said as he stood up and smiled at Miley before exiting the room closing the door behind him.

Nick's back was facing Miley, so he didn't know she was there, but he knew that someone else was there, "Whoever you're, I'm not talking about anything." Nick said without turning.

"What? I give you a chance and you turn me down like this?" Miley said as he turned around and jumped off the bed as soon as he heard her voice.

"Miley, I didn't know it was you, please let explain, it wasn't me, I promise, it was her who did that, you just understood it all wrong…" he started rambling.

"Hey, Hey, Take it easy." She cut him off as he smiled returning her own smile as he started to tell her everything.

"She was trying to get me from a while, she kept flirting with me when I was alone, and I kept telling her that I wasn't interested, and that I have a girlfriend who I love." He started slowly, "She just kept ignoring what I say, and kept flirting more and more."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Miley asked him calmly.

"I just know that you have a lot on your mind, about your aunt and stuff." He said, "I didn't want you to worry about this one too, when there's not really something happening." He finished making her smile.

"So, how did she end up kissing you, if there was something really happening?" she asked using his own words.

"I was putting my books in my locker to go and meet you guys, then I heard someone coming behind me, I turned to see her dangerously close to me. Actually, I was surprised, and freaked out, I didn't know what to do, I didn't even hear what she said, suddenly, she was kissing me, and still I didn't know what to do from the shock, I then heard your sob, so I finally found the courage to push her, and ran after you." He explained and she nodded.

"I believe you." She smiled, "I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what?"

"For not believing you at first." She said.

"It's okay, you shouldn't be the one apologizing." He smiled warmly.

"Just promise me that you'll never hide something like that again, I don't know how many fans you have." She said as he smiled wider.

"I promise." He said, "So are we okay now?" he asked as she lend up meeting his lips in a long kiss.

"Does that answer your question?"

"Defiantly." He smiled as she hugged him and they sat down on his bed. "You know what, I think your aunt is not that bad, we may got the wrong idea of her, she seemed so caring when she came to talk to me." He said, "You should give her another chance."

"Already did, babe." She smiled and told him what happened between her and Mary, "I think she's really sorry about her past with us." She told him.

"Yeah, I think so." He smiled and pecked her lips once again, "Come on, let's go down stairs." He said and they left the room to go see what their friends doing.

"So, you okay again?" Selena said as soon as they joined them.

"Yup." Nick answered as he sat on the couch with Miley next to him, "What were you doing?"

"Just playing truth or dare." Jackson said, they didn't notice that Jackson and Kevin came back from their jobs.

"Wanna join?" Joe asked as they nodded.

Miley noticed her aunt setting in a chair watching them with a smile, "Why don't you play with us aunt Mary?" she asked her, as they all looked at her confused except for her aunt and Nick who smiled.

"Thanks, dear, I better go prepare dinner." She said standing up and headed to the kitchen.

"What was that?" Demi asked her.

"Nothing, let's play." Miley shrugged.

I know it's not long, but I just needed to stop it here, sorry.

I also know that it took me forever to update this one, but it's just that I don't get enough reviews in it, so please don't be silent readers, it takes me a long time to write the chapter, and takes you a few seconds to review, just let me know that you like it or even hate it, I just need an opinion.

So tell me what you think about it, Mary is a good person, or is she? :P

This story is about to end, just two or three more chapters and that's it :D
