_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Tears came to my eyes for the third time today and I slowly knelt down beside him. I still couldn't believe he hadn't looked up yet. One of his curls was blocking the view he would have of me kneeling next to him. I slowly moved my hand to his arm and softly rested it on the hand holding the picture. Electric shocks ran through my body and he gasped. He slowly turned his head and looked up.

Miley POV

His nutella eyes were filled with shock. They stared into my blue orbs for what seemed like forever. I could see the trace of dried up tears on his cheeks. I shot him a small smile as to try and comfort him and tightened my grasp of his hand. Nick slowly brought his hand up to my cheek and delicately caressed it. His mouth was slightly agape as he took in my appearance.

"M-Miley? Is that really you?" Nick asked me. He had the cutest confused expression on his face and his hand stayed where it was on my cheek.

"Yeah, Nicky. It's really me. I came to see you," I responded. I placed my free hand on top of his hand, which rested on my cheek. I shot him a small smile before moving from my kneeling position, to a sitting one beside him. It took him awhile to respond, obviously still surprised that I was right here in front of him. After a few minutes of him taking it all in, he replied,

"You came to see me? But-But we haven't talked in forever. How did you know this is where I lived? I'm just, I'm so confused." His curls bounced as he shook his head with a puzzled expression on his face. He looked back up slightly while his thumb began to lightly caress my cheek as tears formed in his eyes.

"Of course I came to see you. And yeah what's up with that? Why didn't we keep in touch, Nicky? Where have you been for the past year and half? Oh, and Joe filled me in on everything." I watched as his face fell as he heard my last sentence.

"Everything?" He looked up and stared intensely into my eyes.

"Erm, yeah...pretty much everything." I almost couldn't bear the broken expression on his face. "Listen Nick, we should really talk about this. I don't like hearing that my Nick has been living like this for a year and a half! I can't even put my head around it! And why is it so damn dark in this room??" I felt frustrated and confused. I stood up quickly to open the shades but felt myself being pulled back down, right onto Nick's lap. He had his arm around my waist and a small goofy expression on his face. How could his mood change so quickly? It seemed like he was finally understanding that I was really here, sitting on his lap. He must have overcome his state of shock because he now looked absolutely delighted at the sight of me.

"Not so fast. Why are you really here, Mi?" He kept his grasp on my waist firm while his other hand was gently placed on my thigh. I could stay in this position forever. I decided to get comfortable, so I brought my hands up and loosely placed them around his neck. I honestly don't remember the last time I was in this position. It felt right. Back to the question. Damnit to hell, what am I supposed to say?

"Well," The last thing I wanted was for our friendship to be based on lies, so I just told him the truth, like I will from now on. "I'm here to help you. I'm not going to stand by and watch you stay in this ridiculous state of depression! This," I said as I pointed to his face and body, "Isn't the Nick that I know! My Nick would NEVER isolate himself like this and not talk to anybody! He would never neglect his family and stay inside his dark room all day writing songs on sheet paper. This is crazy, Nick. And I'm not going to let this continue any longer." He looked down and began fumbling with the bottom hem of his v-neck t-shirt.

Suddenly my eyes caught the picture he must have let go when pulling me down. I slowly reached over and picked it up. I sat it in my lap and could feel Nick's eyes watching my every move. I could vaguely see it when coming into the room, but now it was perfectly clear to my eyes. The picture showed two, deeply in-love teenagers, kissing below a willow tree in the park. It was zoomed in so that you could see the sparkle in both of our eyes as well as the happy smiles adorning our faces. Tears filled my eyes for so many reasons. One, I couldn't remember the last time I was as happy as that. Or even the last time I felt complete. And Nick...To think he had changed so much from then till now. But then again, everything has changed. And I'm not sure if it was really for the better. I suddenly felt a tear drop fall on my thigh, which was resting on top of Nick's lap. I looked up at him and noticed that the tear had fallen from his eye. His eyes kept glancing from the picture to my face. He looked broken and that was exactly how I felt. The ache in my chest came alive once again. I had spent so long trying to distract myself from the feeling, and now after seeing Nick and slightly reliving our past, it hurt now more than ever. I then remembered that Nick was the one that was depressed. He was the one who couldn't hide the pain in his chest. He needed me and I needed him.

"Hey, Hey," I said as I lifted his chin up with my hand. "I'm gonna help you, Nicky. I'm gonna be here for awhile and I'm not leaving you until you're all better. I think we should start by taking a shower!" I said as I grabbed his hand and lifted him up with me. I placed the picture carefully on the counter as he brushed his tears away quickly, hoping I wouldn't see. He took a deep breath and straightened out his clothes. He then must have recollected what I had said and his head shot up. He cocked it to the side and smirked,

"We?" Oh Nick…

"Don't you start with me, get your tiny ass into the shower!" I laughed as I pushed him towards the bathroom. He looked back at me and smiled before replying,

"Fine, fine. Lemme just put my dirty clothes in the hamper." Then he proceeded to tear of his white vneck. My eyes widened at the exposure of his beautifully sculpted upper body. He had an amazing tan even though he didn't get out much. His body had gotten so much more built since the last time I saw it. His arms were big and muscular and his amazing 6 pack was all it took to make me weak. Joe had mentioned that Nick went running each morning because it reminded him of when him and I went jogging together in the neighborhood. That's probably how he got that incredible body. He must of saw me staring because he said jokingly,

"Like what you see, Mi?" He smirked once again and I blushed like mad. He slowly walked over and placed his arms around my waist. "You sure you don't wanna come in?" he asked jokingly, eying me carefully. I giggled and replied,

"Noo, Nicky! Go quickly or else I'll leave!" I watched panic flash through his face and he tightened his grasp of me.

"N-No. Don't leave, Mi." His eyes were filled with sadness and I could almost see tears begin to form. I was quick to respond,

"No, No, I was only joking! I'm not going anywhere, I promise." I saw relief fill his eyes and I softly wrapped my arms around him in a hug. A small smile adorned his face and he began twirling little pieces of my hair between his fingers. I then realized our position. His bare body was pressed against mine, with his strong arms holding me tight. I sighed in contentment.

"I really missed you, Mi. More than you could ever imagine. I'm so glad your back." He pulled back and rested his forehead on mine.

"I know, Nicky. I missed you too, so much." He smiled softly and I slowly let go of him.

"Shower time!!" I grabbed a white towel that was on his bed and smacked him lightly on his abs. Nick grinned and turned around before slowly unbuttoning his pants and pulling them down. Oh dear God, this is gonna be unbearable. My breath was cut short, watching him in only his boxers. I quickly turned my head before he could catch me staring at him once again. I heard the bathroom door close and the shower turn on. I began looking around the room. I walked over to the bed and sat down. It was really too dark in here and way too dirty. I walked over to the shades and pulled them open, letting sunlight fill the room. It was already looking better! I then began picking up all his dirty clothes and piling them into the hamper. Sheet paper was everywhere; Joe was right. I picked them all up and put them neatly into a pile. I forced myself not to read anything but my eye did catch my name once or twice. I sighed and walked back over to the bed and began making it. I was just putting the last pillow onto the bed when suddenly I felt two strong and slightly wet arms wrap around my waist. I couldn't help but smile as I leaned back and turned my head to be met with my first and only love.

"I didn't even hear the shower turn off!" I said. He chuckled and shrugged before looking around the room.

"Wow, Mi. I don't even recognize it anymore! This is weird, really weird." I smiled before turning my body around in his arms. He was wearing a fresh, clean white graphic vneck and dark wash jeans with black converse on his feet. He looked amazing. His hair was wet which made him look even more irresistible. This is gonna be a lot harder than I thought. I only have so much willpower.

"Well get used to it. This is how your room will look like from now on. So, what do you usually do on a Saturday night?" I asked him.

He shrugged again and replied, "Nothing, really. I write and stay in my room until my mom brings me up my dinner. Then sometimes if I feel up to it, I'll go for a nightly run. If I don't, I stay here and sleep or play the guitar." Oh God, this is not how an eighteen year old boy should be spending his weekends.

"Sounds…fun. You wanna know what I do on a Saturday night? Go partying!" I grinned widely and watched as his face turned into a kind of "ehh" expression.

"A party? I don't know, that sounds a little, much. Dancing and loud music, not really my scene."

"It used to be! You and I always went to the parties hosted by the kids at school, Nickyy. C'monn, I'm sure we can find one happening tonight! Would your friends know?" I asked, already getting excited.

"I'm not sure if my Mom knows about any cool things happening tonight. I could go ask her," He replied before turning around and making his way towards the door. I pulled him back quickly,

"Ha Ha, Nick. Very funny. You were one of the most popular guys at school back in Malibu, don't even try telling me you're some outcast now." His face crumpled a bit and he looked down. I immediately felt terrible and definitely shocked.

"Do you mean to tell me, that you really don't have any…friends?" I asked softly. His looked up and slightly shook his head.

"Any girlfriends?" Deep down, I was hoping he would say no. But I also wanted him to say yes, showing that maybe he wasn't as depressed as Joe made it seem. His eyes widened and he shook his head, only way faster this time.

"It's kind of hard to find another girl that would make me happy, after having you as my girlfriend, Mi. You're kind of hard to beat." He looked at me intensely.

"You mean no girl as made a move on my hot and sexy ex-boyfriend?" I opened my mouth in fake shock and put my hands on my hips. "Incredible." He threw his head back and laughed loudly. I had a feeling he hadn't done that in a while. I was really glad to see a little bit of my old boyfriend back.

"Whatever, Mi. Of course some girls have tried to ask me out, but I can't help but turn them down. I'm not lying when I say you're very hard to compare to. Those girls stand no chance." I smiled and blushed, laughing a little. I couldn't imagine my Nick walking down the halls in his sexy black leather jacket turning down girls left and right just because he had me on his mind. Unbelievable.

"Alright, well back to the party! Can't you text one of these girls asking if they know any good parties happening tonight?" He looked deep in thought before responding,

"Well I get a text whenever there's a party happening. I ignore them every time but they still come. I could've sworn I got one this morning. Let me check." I squealed loudly and he chuckled before walking over to his phone and looking through some texts.

"Yep, there's a party happening tonight, in an hour and a half. You really wanna go?" He looked a little uneasy but I was too excited to let this opportunity pass. Nick needed to be more social and this was the perfect way.

"Of course I wanna go!! This will be so much fun, Nick. We can dance and maybe you can make some new friends!"

"I don't know, Miley…"

"Do you not want to spend time with me?" I asked confused. His eyes widened,

"No, No, of course I do!" He walked over to me and grabbed my hands. "All I've ever wanted to do for the past year and a half is spend time with you. And if that means going to a party tonight, then so be it." He smiled and I grinned. I hugged him tightly and started rambling about how much fun we were gonna have. He just watched me with an amused expression on his face.

I knew that this night would be unforgettable.
