"Okay! I really have to go now!" I squealed, pinned under Nick's toned body on top of his bed.

"No! Just a little longer," he said, pulling me in for another kiss.

"Nick I'm serious, my parents are going to kill me!"

"Miles it's only nine you don't have to be home for another three hours! Seriously, what's going on? Where are you really going?" Damn, why did he have to be so curious?

"I-I just have somewhere I need to be, okay?" I said, this time sounding annoyed. I know I shouldn't have, but it was the only way he would stop hounding me with the questions!

"Alright, jeez Mi.." he said, sitting up and off me on his bed. "I didn't realize you were so busy." He added sarcastically.

"Look I didn't mean to sound bitchy- I just really gotta go."

"Whatever... It's the 10th isn't it?" he asked.

"Yeah… so?'

"That explains it. You're on your period, aren't you?" I paused for a minute, then burst out laughing.

"Okay, now I'm leaving!" I said, kissing him once more. "I'll call you later."

The truth was that I had to leave Nick's to meet up with his parents and brothers (who, little did he know, were at my house) to plan his surprise 18th birthday party. Even if he didn't make it seem so, turning 18 is a big deal. But Nick would obviously never throw himself a party so I took it upon myself (being the amazing girlfriend I am) to throw one for him.

It was going to be the biggest and best party ever! When I got home I found my parents sitting in the living room with Nick's. They had all gone out to dinner so it was the perfect cover-up. Nick wouldn't suspect a thing.

"Hey Mile!" My dad called out when I came into the house.

"Hi everyone!" I yelled. When I came over to the couch I saw Nick's family along with mine, sitting down with Demi. Being the gentlemen they were, Kevin and Joe both stood up when I came into the room and hugged me. I put my purse on the table and sat down next to Demi, hugging her from the sofa. I decided to get the ball rolling.

"So! Obviously everyone knows why were here. I want this to be the best party for Nick! A night he'll never forget. And I think he has no idea!"

By the end of the night we had most of the party planning done. We had decided on a location, food options, and a guest list. I knew that Nick was never totally comfortable at Hollywood parties. The whole club scene didn't really suit him and dancing was not his thing. So instead of renting out some place like or le duex, we decided on renting out the Roosevelt hotel. Well, two floors of it anyway. On one level we would completely deck it out sports themed. There was going to be an indoor golf course, batting ranges, and a few of Nick's favorite professional baseball players even agreed to come! On the other floor, there would be a real party with a dj, huge dance floor, amazing catering, and an open bar (for everyone over 21, of course.)

It was going to be an amazing night. All I wanted was for Nick to have fun. He deserves it. As I said goodnight to everyone and my parents made their way up to their bedroom I was left in the kitchen with Demi and Joe. It seemed like they didn't even realize I was there. Joe was whispering something quietly into Demi's ear and by the way she was blushing, I figured I probably didn't want to hear what it was.

I wondered if that's what Nick and I looked like. Probably worse, I thought to myself. Even though I had just seen him a few hours ago, I missed him terribly. It was so weird to think that at seventeen I had found someone so perfect. It seemed like no matter what was going to happen in my life, no matter how crazy it might be; I'd always have something to hold on to. Because I knew I'd always have Nick.

"Miley? …Miles?" Demi pulled me out of my thoughts. "You okay there?" she said.

"Huh? Oh yeah. Hah, sorry! Just thinking." I said wish a stupid smile on my face.

"Ohh someone's in love with my brother!" Joe sang. I swear he's secretly five years old.

"Why yes, actually, I am." Demi smiled and even Joe had to admit it was cute.

"Alright then I have to get Demi home by 12." Joe said.

"She could take one step from here to her house every ten minutes and be home before 12. It's like 10. And she lives across the street." I said, very confused.

"Yeah but… we have things we have not yet had a chance to do tonight." Joe said, smiling.

"Oh EW! That's just gross. Leave. Get your horny asses out of my house then!"

They both started laughing and made their way to the front door where I locked it when they left. Walking up to my room I wished I could call Nick right now and ask him to come over. But I knew he wouldn't say no if I wanted him to, and he had an interview the next morning so I decided to let him sleep. Plus, he would ask me about what I had done since I saw him and I didn't want to give anything away.

After I changed into a pair of comfy Victoria's secret pajama shorts and one of Nick's long sleeved t-shirts I went into the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth. I looked at the clock. 10:30. Perfect, I thought, right on the dot. I reached inside my medicine cabinet and took a long swig of water. I tried not to focus on the medicine inside my mouth. It always took me so long to swallow pills.

The next morning I woke up to my alarm at 7: 15. Ugh, this early morning thing is really not my style, I thought. I checked my phone and already have five text messages. One from Emily, asking me to bring my black spiky heels to work so she could borrow them tonight. One from Mom, two from my publicist, (I could read those later…) and one from Nick. I opened that one first. "Hey babe I drove by your house this morning and thought about how much I wanted to come inside and see you but I thought you could use the sleep. On my way to a long day of interviews. Call me later I love you" It was funny how they always seemed to be finding subtle ways of looking out for each other, Miley thought. I guess that's what they call love..

Despite the fact that she had received a million texts like this from Nick before, Miley still got butterflies in her stomach reading the words. A few hours later, when she was showered, dressed, and heading to rehearsals for "Lol" Miley finally got a chance to call Nick back and they made plans to go out to dinner. She was just finishing up putting on her makeup when he rang the doorbell.

Nick's POV:

When she opened the door I literally felt my jaw drop. How Miley managed to look more beautiful every time I saw her was beyond me. Especially considering I saw her almost everyday. Only this time she didn't just look beautiful. She looked damn hot. Suddenly I felt myself really turned on.

"Hey, handsome" she said, reaching up to kiss me.

"Hello to you too" I said, still staring at her.

"What?" she asked, a little self-conscience. "Do I look okay?"

"Miley… you look. You look really sexy."

She looked at me with a funny expression for a minute before laughing that loud, hysterical laugh.

"You're such a dork!" …Typical.

During dinner I couldn't help but realize how grown up Miley looked. I know it sounded corny but seeing her go from the little girl she was when we met five years ago to the woman she is now is crazy. Tonight she's wearing her chest length hair down and straight, pinned back at the top to show off her beautiful, natural face. Her lips have a rose colored tint to them and she's wearing a dangerously short, not to mention tight, black dress. It does have a reasonably cut neckline but it wasn't until I walked her out to my car earlier this evening that I saw the other side of the dress was completely backless. My heart pretty much stopped.

After we ordered desert I used the hand I had been holding on the table all night to tell Miley to come sit on my lap. As I held onto her at the table I thought about just how much this girl had changed my life, wrapped me around her finger, and how very, very lucky I am to call her mine.

I know it's been forever and I'm so sorry about that! This is just a short post until I have completed the last two chapters. I don't want to put up one until I finish the other in case I decide to change anything last minute.

However, I do promise they will be up soon! I'll also probably be changing the rating on this story to "M" for the last two instead of "T"
