Hey baby it's only life
Yea it's only life

"Hi Selena" Miley answered, "Sorry for running out before"

"Hannah!" Selena exclaimed into the phone, "Why the heck are you apologizing? I should be the one doing the dirty work. Ok, before you say anything…let me just get this out in the open. I'm stupid. I should have kept this to myself.."

"Selena! If you had kept this to yourself, it would have just become worse" Miley interrupted her.

"I know, I know. But, I sat myself done a few moments ago and really thought. Like really thought. And…I realized that even if I do like Nick…it doesn't matter cause I don't stand a chance."

"What are you—" Miley started.

"He would never choose me over you. Hannah, you're great. You have to know that. You've been nothing but kind to me ever since I joined this Hollywood business and I'm supposed to repay you by taking away one of your most treasured things? That's not cool and I made a promise to myself that when I went into the acting bizz that I would never do anything to hurt anyone like I saw in all the magazines. So, I just wanted to let you know that…I respect you and Nick's relationship and I'm sorry for even thinking that I could have him for one moment…" Selena explained.

Miley smiled, "Thanks Selena. You don't know how much that means to me. Friends?"

Selena sighed in relief, "Friends"

Oliver gave Miley a questioning look because all he could hear was Miley's side of the conversation; she nodded her head telling him everything was fine.

"Oh by the way…" Selena giggled, "Someone has been looking for you here at the concert. I think it's time you come back and save Nick from having a 3rd heart attack"

Miley laughed, "I think it's time I come back too"

Selena hung up the phone and ran her hand through her silky locks, Hannah was on her way back to the concert and everything was fine between them. But, why did something still feel wrong…?

At that exact moment, Joe and Kevin walked into the room. "No seriously, ninjas are better than pirates!" Joe exclaimed.

Kevin rolled his eyes then took a seat on the brown leather couch, while Joe walked over towards the vanity and took a seat in a 'director's type of chair'. "You've got to be kidding me…pirates win any day, hands down"

Selena's eyes brightened, she knew her instincts were right.

Nick couldn't figure out where Miley had left to. Did she not like the song? She had always said it was beautifully written, but shouldn't be wasted on her. That girl and her imagination…

"Miley!" he exclaimed as he saw her walk into the hallway with Big Rob in tow. "Wait…Miley? Where's Hannah?" Nick questioned. Miley's hands flew to the top of her head. "CRAP!" she exclaimed then ran for the closet that was located on the left side of the hallway. Nick chased after her, scurrying into the closet and locking the door behind him.

It was pitch dark. "Miley?" he whispered, he tried to feel his way around, "Miley?" he tried again.

"Ow!" she exclaimed. "Woops, sorry Miles" he blushed after lifting his foot off of hers.

"Why are we in this closet?" he asked, trying to stifle a laugh.

"I changed in here before, Nick there's some bobby pins on the shelf behind you; I think. Could you grab them for me?" Miley asked.

Nick turned around and tried to find the shelf, his hands finally found their way to a wooden source. "Got it!" he whispered.

He then turned around and handed them to her. "Thanks"

Miley took the bobby pins from his hands and then start applying them to her wig to hold it steady. "Where'd you go?" Nick asked.

"Uh…" Yes! He didn't know anything. Nothing, nada, zilch. That meant they didn't have to have a serious talk or anything. Miley hated those kinds of talks. Where people always tried to compliment her and tell her she was wrong or something; it just made her feel uncomfortable. "Bathroom" she stated, "Yeah, I uh had a…makeup problem! Yup, and … Big Rob stood outside the bathroom waiting for me!" Yeah, sure let's go with that. That works, right?

"Oh. I guess I didn't think to check there" Nick shrugged.

Yup, it worked.

Miley was finally done putting her wig back on and reached for the doorknob. It was time to face Selena in person. Nick put his hand on top of hers to stop her. "Wait…" he stated, then began to stroke her arm, "I haven't gotten to do this all night" he then moved his hand up her arm, over her collarbone and cradled her cheek. Nick planted his lips on hers firmly, while she melted right into him.

Why had she ever doubted him?

'Hannah' and Nick walked into the dressing room to find Selena and Kevin talking with each other, something about ninjas and pirates? Joe playing 'Halo' on the PS2 and Lily as 'Lola' chatting away on the phone, probably with Oliver talking about the previous events.

Selena looked over towards the doorway, catching Miley's eyes. They both smiled at each other, a sign of peace.

Nick took Hannah's hand and led her over towards Joe. He then sat down next to him and took the 2nd controller while Miley made her escape over towards Lola. "Pretty crazy night, huh?" Lily giggled as she hung up the phone. "I never knew I could experience so many emotions all within 2 hours!" Hannah exclaimed

"NEW HIGH SCORE!" Joe shouted as he threw his controller down onto the carpet. "BEAT THAT NICKY!"

Nick rolled his eyes, "Joe, you realize I let you win, right?"

Miley rolled her eyes, Nick was such the competitor. They'd be playing Manhunt with the neighborhood kids and he'd have to win. They usually played just to let loose and get rid of stress, but no Nick always had to make it a completion.

Joe made a funny face at Nick then glided over towards Miley and Lily. "So ladies…" Joe smiled, "I see Kevin took my role with Selena."

It looked as if Joe was upset, but Miley knew deep down he was doing a happy dance. "Guess you didn't make the cut" Lola shrugged her shoulders.

"Ouch Lola, that hurt" Joe winced. Lola giggled, "Hey, I just speak the truth"

"Oh you just speak the truth, huh?" Joe asked tauntingly as he approached Lola. "Joe? J-Joe? Don't even think about it! I know what you're planning on doing, but it's not gonna work cause I am –" Joe tackled Lola to the ground and started tickling her fiercely.

"JOE!" Lola exclaimed, laughing on the ground. Joe was hovering above her, his fingers dancing across her skin. "I'm-I'm serious!" Lola managed to get out between giggles. She was now gasping for air.

"Boys?" everyone turned their heads toward the door except Joe and Lola who acted as if nothing had interrupted them.

"JOE! STOP!" Lola giggled as Joe began to make his way under her chin where he knew she would flip.

Big Rob cleared his throat in the doorway, but they still ignored him. So, he shrugged his shoulders and continued, "There's a visitor here. I think you guys might want to see."

He stepped aside giving them a full view.

"JOE! If you don't stop in—" Lola stopped mid sentence, her eyes growing wide, her throat becoming dry, the words not being able to fall off her tongue. Time stopped right then and there for her.

Joe noticed her lack of movement, "Lola. Did I like kill you or something? I mean, usually by now you'd be beating me up with a pillow or…something!"

Lola continued to stare at the doorway. Joe squinted his eyes trying to figure out what caused the sudden change of emotion in the room. He slowly turned around and was met with a pair of electric blue eyes.

"Hey Joe" the girl smiled from the doorway, brushing the hew stray hairs out of her face.

"Hey AJ" he replied dully.
