Nick stood in his place as he saw the door slammed for what seem like the umpteenth time since he had saw her and honestly, he was growing tired of it. He didn't like it when she slammed the door on him so many years ago so what made her think he would like it now. He let out a sigh, a long sigh that meant he was lost. Nick didn't know how to feel anymore, he had lost control. And he hated her for that.

His will found themselves again as his feet made a counterclockwise turn towards his house, but then stopped when he saw the black car parked across the street. And he sighed again as if he could never run out of breath. To whither there and die was his first thought, to run away was his second, and damn was his third as he walked towards the car. The closer he got, the more her face became pronounced. The more his feet walked, the more he could see the tears stained across her cheek. And he stood in front of her driver door, his eyes staring slightly at the brunette girl through the opening as she had let the window rolled down midway.

"Sel," he breathed out not knowing where to start. One girl in his life crying was already enough but to see another he was just lost. Lost, afraid and uncertain.

She sobbed shaking her head as if to tell him this was it. But she knew, she knew she was far into it that she would have come tumbling head first to just let it be it at that moment. Selena held her face towards his and stared into his brown orbs as her tears just keep falling. She wanted him to see it, to see the pain that he had just inflicted at that moment in front of her.

Nick wanted to tear his eyes away, but he couldn't and he shouldn't because he knew, he knew he had to own up to this. For her sake at least because he knew that he loves her. His hand reached the door handle and after opening it he knelt down to her level and kept his gaze onto hers.

"Sel," he stated again. "How much did you hear?" But he knew she had heard it all.

Selena cracked and shook her head at him once again. "I knew she was going to be trouble!" she sobbed.

"Sel," as if it never gets old. "She may have left me, but I still care about her. I still care whether or not she is hurt of suffering from being back here." Nick started. "And to be honest, just because I still care doesn't mean I have feelings for her," he shifted uncomfortably as if he wasn't too sure himself but exerted the 'to be honest' as if to console his girlfriend crying in front of him.

"Nick, I saw you. I heard what you said to her and I saw the way she looked at you." Selena managed in between the sobs. "I can't," she began but he knew where she was going to end.

As if it was his last chance to keep the girl he had held onto for so long since everything just went downhill, he lingered over her and pulled her in for a kiss. It was slow and then it got hungry as they devoured each other.

He pulled away for a second but kept his forehead onto hers, "I love you, I have and I will today and tomorrow and for as long as I can," he massaged her lips with his once more. "And nothing is going to change that."

He hoped. Damn he better hoped.

Selena nodded against his face and pulled him in once more for another kiss. Nick continued kissing her like it was his only way to keep her. He pulled away and planted kisses along her neck covering every inch of her skin as he made his way down towards her breasts emitting a moan from her lips. She shook her head as if to tell him not here.

And Miley stood at her steps staring as Nick pulled away from Selena and walked around to the passenger side. She saw as he cocked his head in every direction but hers. She slinked down slowly onto her steps as the car engine purred and the lights disappeared a few houses down.

She didn't know whether the tears falling down were because of the chaos that is her life or because of what she had just witnessed but all she knew was that she wanted the darkness to engulf her forever.

The sun began blaring through the house as Miley sat at her kitchen. She had seen enough of this town the past few days. She had felt enough of her past life (still her life today). Miley had thought long and hard sitting at the island of her kitchen since last night and knew what she had to do. Well she knew her choices. Either she started finding herself again in this town and making new memories with her old friends like her mother had wanted or run away and once again disappointed her mother.

She felt the tears building up as she thought of her mother. No one knew the letter she was given from her mother's will. She hadn't told anyone of her mother's wishes. The wishes that were still imprinted in her mind as if she didn't need to piece of paper anymore but it was the last thing that connected her to her mother and she kept it safe and hidden among the boxes underneath her bed and it went as followed:

My dearest Miley,

I know baby this is hard to read and I know that the tears are falling down your precious cheeks right now. I wish they weren't honey, I wish you wouldn't have left me like that and I wish any lasting memory of me would revolve around regrets for you, baby. Don't be sad and don't regret anything because I know Miley. I know how hurt you were enough to leave and I understand honey. I understand that life just carried you away from me and I can't blame it. Just know that I love you and I will always love you no matter what. You will be my daughter from the moment you were born to the day that you leave this planet. You will be my daughter through the good times and the bad times with each other and without. I know you can't be here by my side but that hasn't stopped all your wonderful friends from visiting and taking care of me. Taylor comes at least every morning and Demi has managed to see me every afternoon. And Nick, oh Nick baby, I know you don't like hearing about him but he's been there every night even when I tell him he should be with that girlfriend of his but you know me I always thought you guys belong together. Miley I only ask for you to come back when I'm gone and let these wonderful people back into your life. They all miss you and I want to repay them for all they've done. I've found a warehouse honey and I bought it under your name for your fashion career because you and I both know that being a stylist isn't where you belong but designing clothes. So please baby, come back and take charge of that dream here and let love back into your life. Don't miss me too much baby, cause I'm always with you where ever you are.

Lots of love and joy, Mom.

Miley smiled at the mention of Nick in her mom's letter before it faltered as she realize she couldn't do anything at all to please her mom. She had failed the moment she stepped foot into this town. Miley hadn't even seen the warehouse that her mom bought her for one fear only, the idea that she wouldn't be an amazing fashion designer and she was already tired of failure. And she wasn't at all nice to her old friends. She knew the only person that needed change in this town was her and she was determined not to fail her mom again.

She stared around her kitchen once again as the sun set high in the sky. Today was going to be different and she knew just who she wanted to share it with. Miley rushed up the stairs into her room going through her closet before she walked out of the bathroom in a pair of black skinny jeans and a loose, white top paired with gold heels. She took one last look at herself in the mirror before heading downstairs. Grabbing the keys along the way, Miley slammed the door shut and pulled her cell phone out. Dialing the number, Miley patiently opened her car door and sat in her seat waiting for an answer.

"Hello?" she managed when she heard a click from the other side. "Meet me near the coffee shop in like five minutes okay?" she waited for an answer. "I don't care what you're doing, just drop it and meet me please!" her tone seemed urgent. "Okay good, see you soon. Yes love you too."

Her fingers turned the key and started the ignition; she checked her mirrors and smiled to herself as she pulled out of the driveway.

Humming along with the radio, Miley pulled into the small parking lot next to the coffee shop. She knew she was going to be here first so she got out of the car and walked into the shop ready to order her favorite.

Miley sipped the vanilla bean coffee as she sat near the window waiting silently and not paying attention to everyone around her. Of course no one recognized her, she figured her friends had stopped coming since she left because she was the only one to like this place.

Joe locked his car and walked towards the coffee shop he had come to so often, he didn't tell anyone though, but he loved this place cause it reminded him so much of his best friend. He saw her staring aimlessly and knew she wasn't paying attention so he ordered himself his usual, a vanilla bean coffee (because of course it reminded him of her and every time he sipped the dang cup he had wondered why she liked it so much). After getting his drink he sat himself dramatically across from her in order to catch her attention.

"So," Joe sipped the drink in his hand, "what was so damn urgent that you had me stop in the middle of showering to come see you?" he smirked at her.

She looked at her watch and smirked back at him, "Good to know showering was too important of you to drop since you took so god damn long Joe!"

He laughed at her remark and just continued smiling as he brought his drink to his lips. "Same ol' Miley, always willing to bring me here to catch up or to start trouble and always the latter."

She smiled, "I knew only you would like this place."

His smile faltered, "Only place that reminded me so damn much of you," he whispered as her smile dropped also.

The look on her face and he knew it, he knew she was sorry and he didn't mean to push it all up in her face but he didn't know what to do. She was always so worried about her friendship with Demi and everyone else and mixed with her troubles with her relationship with Nick that he felt left out. But having her back now and sitting across from her in this coffee shop, he knew and he was willing to let it go because he loved her and he still did like she was his own sister.

Feeling uncomfortable by the silence, Miley coughed before speaking. "Joe, you see that warehouse across there?"

Joe nodded. It had been vacant for quite some time and there were rumors that it had been bought.

"Momma bought that for me." And then she told him everything from her actual dreams to her mom's letter and the real reason why she was back.

Joe sat across from her with an incredulous look. No one knew of course because she wouldn't let anyone know. All anyone could have guess was that Miley did not want to come back and the only reason for her to was because it was her mom's house and if she hadn't it would be lost and sold to someone else.

"Joe, I want to start my own business," Miley spoke, "but I'm scared."

And he knew why. He knew that no matter how hard-shelled Miley presented herself she was still vulnerable and scared half to death of the future. He reached for her hand and pulled her closer across the table. "Miles, you're gonna change the world and I know it, your mom knew it, heck even the whole town knows it!"

She couldn't help but smile at his compliment.

They finished their conversation and grabbed their drinks making their way across the street towards the entrance of the giant warehouse. She linked arms with him as her free hand jingled the key that was left to her in the will.

"We'll start with redecorating," Joe remained excited. "And you know I'll be there every step along the way."

Miley felt herself smile a real smile for the first time.

And Miley is coming backkkk! :) I would really appreciate reviews :) Sorry its kinda short.
