*Miley's*
It's been two weeks since the incident and Nick hasn't said a word to me. After walking home that night and crying my eyes out to Selena, I realized I will never stop loving him and it hurts to watch him ignore me. I walked into school and over to our normal table sitting beside Jesse who gave me a quick hug and rested his arm around my shoulder. We've talked and decided we're better off being friends, best friends. I sighed and looked down at my feet as Selena took the seat across from me. "Miles, please cheer up. It's agony watching you be down like this." She whined. I shot her a sad smile before looking down again and she sighed as Jesse tightened his grip on me. "It's okay sweetie," he whispered in my ear. "you'll find someone worth something one day." I looked up at him. "But I already did! And I lost him because I had to be stupid and run away!" I cried. Jesse opened his mouth to speak but closed it when Joe came and sat down next to Selena. "Hey guys!" He said excitedly and we all gave him a smile, mine of course being fake. "Hey Miles, wanna come over and help me with my english project today?" Joe asked. I hesitated, "I-I don't know Joe..." I stuttered thinking about Nick. Joe pouted. "Come On Miley! You haven't been over in weeks! I wanna see my best friend! and I really really really need help on this project!" He whined and I gave in. "Fine." I muttered looking down and Joe cheered as the bell rang for class.
"Miles! We need to start getting supplies for your party! It's only a few days away!" Selena said and I inwardly groaned. I had forgotten to even plan anything. "Selly I haven't planned anything for it yet!" I exclaimed panicking. Selena grinned. "Done." I knew you were worked up about your lover coming back so I planned some things." She giggled and I shot her a playful glare. "Thanks I owe you."
"I know. That's why I get to make you over for your party Friday." I grinned. Leave it to Sel to make sure I look amazing. "Deal." I said as we walked into the class room. Selly and I sat down and continued talking about the party. She told me what she had planned for me and I listened as I watched everyone enter the room. "So I arranged for us to have a DJ and a dance floor placed in Ash's house so we can dance..." Selena continued as I watched him enter. I haven't looked at him since that day, it hurt to bad. But I just needed a glimpse. I guess he did too cause his eyes flickered towards me and we locked gazes. I stared deep into thise chocolate beauties and saw...hurt. He stared back into mine before his eyes changed to disappointment as he sat down in the desk next to mine, braking our gaze. It was then I realized Selena had stopped talking and was watching us intently. "Sorry. What were you saying?" Selena shook her head. "It's not important anymore. I'll come with you after school and we can all talk about the party then." She said and I noticed Nick lean slightly towards us trying to catch what we were saying. I turned in my desk and tried to listen as the teacher started her lecture. A few minutes later my phone buzzed signaling I had a text. I quickly pulled it out unlocking it before touching the screen to open the message.
wat wuz tht btwn u and N a sec ago?- Worried bff I quickly glanced at Nick before replying.
Idk...it was like something forced us to gaze into ea others eyes.- confused I hit send and waited for Selly to reply. A minute later my phone buzzed.
U still love him... It was the power of love that forced u 2.-- wants bff 2 b happy
ur so full of it. Of course I still love him. but it won't change things.--doesn't know wat 2 do
talk to him.-- trying to help
I have. he walked away.--insanely in love.
well then try harder. invite him 2 the party.-- loves her bff
good idea i just mite.--grateful to have bff like u.
I hit send and slid my phone back into my pocket and looked up. A moment later it buzzed again. I pulled it out and looked at the text before turning red with embarrassment. I slid the phone behind me to Selena with the text open so she could read it. A moment later I heard a gasp and apparently the teacher did too. "Ms. Gomez, would you like to explain to us what the problem is?" Selly shook her head quickly and the teacher shot her a look before going back to teaching. Nick chuckled next to me and I glared at him before snatching my phone back and replying to the message, but not before being forced to look at the last text once again.
you know. If you don't want other people reading ur texts you should cover them up.-- guy ur insanely in love with
and if u weren't a nosy brat. I wouldn't have to worry about those things.-- girl you'll always love.
I looked over and watched as Nicks face flushed red as he read the text, his fingers smoothly ran over the keys before my phone buzzed again.
I wouldn't have 2 b a nosy brat if someone would keep their phone away from my sight-- sucky kisser
My face flushed red again as the flashback from a couple weeks ago came to mind.
... i have nothing else to say.-- girl whose done crying over u.
Babe. u always have something else to say.--luvs u too
I glanced over at Nick questioningly as he looked forward smirking. I sighed and put my head on the desk where I stayed for the rest of the class period.
*Lunch*
When the lunch bell rang I bolted out the class to find Selly before she entered the cafe. I grabbed her arm just as she was about to step foot in the lunch room and dragged her outside. "Dang Miles. Just rip my arm off why don't ya!" she said rubbing her now sore arm. I shot her an apologetic smile before shoving my phone in her hand that contained the conversation me and Nick had earlier. She scrolled through the messages before letting out a long slow whistle. "Miles. You should be more careful." I blushed. "Do you know how awkward things are going to be now!? I mean they were awkward before but now it's going to be deadly!" I said panicking. Selena chuckled. "Miley, calm down. He obviously still loves you. It's hidden in all these messages." I looked at her. "But why can't he just forgive me and we could be together!" I cried and Selly shook her head. "Hun, sometimes forgiving is hard. He'll forgive you when the time is right, just let him have that time." I nodded knowing she's right and sighed. "Come on. Let's go back inside and eat." she said. "No. I don't want to go in there." I said sitting on the ground. Selena thought for a minutes before grabbing my bag and pulling out my keys. "Then let's ditch. We can have fun for the rest of the day. We're Seniors, It's not like any of the classes we're taking mean anything anyways!" She said and I grinned. "Let's Go!" I said as we ran towards my truck.
Two hours and seven shopping bags later, Selena and I entered my room and fell on my bed. "whew that was like hardcore shopping there!" I exclaimed. Selena nodded. "I'm hungry let's go make food!" I shook my head. "The workers are working on my kitched today, but we could go get food somewhere." Selena nodded understandingly. "Where shall we go?" We both silenced for a moment before shouting "PINKBERRY!" at the same time and laughing.
We arrived at Pinkberry and ordered before grabbing a table. "Sel. You have to come over to Joe's with me later. I can't be the only girl in that house with Nick there. It'll be weird, especially after what happened today!" I said and Selly chuckled. "Okay I'll come but only if I can stay at your place tonight. I hate going home to my empty house. My parent's are never home and I hate staying by myself." She said. "Aww... Sel Bel... you should've told me sooner! You could live with me if you want! I'm not going anywhere!" Selena smiled. "I just might take you up on that offer." She said giggling as we finished eating and headed to Joe's
*At The Jonas'*
Selly and I walked up the driveway and into the Jonas house, without knocking. "Joe!!" I yelled looking for him. We heard some stumbling and after a minute a big crash before some yelled "JOE!" I giggled and Selena looked at the staircase weirdly. I walked into the living room and sat on the couch to wait for Joe to clean up whatever he broke. After about 5 minutes and a few "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!" moments Joe came sprinting down the stairs three at a time. Don't ask me how only Joe could do something like that.
"Hey Joe, So what was it this time?" I asked as he sat in between me and Selly.
"Nick's glass cross you gave him for his thirteenth." He answered cooly and I giggled.
"So what do you need help on?" Selena asked before picking up the worksheet Joe brought down with him.
"EVERYTHING!" Joe said loudly. "I have to cook something stupid for this stupid english class that's so stupid and I hate." Selena giggled and I rolled my eyes.
"Well I think we've learned that this is stupid." I said seriously and Joe nodded agreeingly before snatching the sheet from Selena and squinting his eyes at it. "So what are we supposed to help you cook?" I asked. Joe looked at me for a minute.
"a seven layer cake." I looked at him.
"and when is this due?" I asked skeptically and Joe blushed.
"Tomorrow." I glared at Joe.
"JOE! You should've been working on this for days not start today! Do you know how long it's going to take to make a seven layer cake?!" I asked and Joe nodded.
"That's why your going to stay over tonight!" he declared excitedly and I shot Selena a panicked look.
"Joe, I don't know..." I started.
"Pwease Miwey I weally need your help?" he asked using his baby voice.
"Fine." I said hesitantly. "But only if Selly stays to!" I said quickly afterwards looking at her. She nodded and we got to work on Joe's project.
*Two Hours Later*
Joe was lying on the floor covered in flour and Selena and I were cracking up. I slid to the ground holding my sides as Joe sat up. "That's NOT funny!" he said red with embarassment. I nodded "y-y-ye-yes-i-it-i-is!" I gasped between breaths. Closing my eyes to blink away the laughing tears. When I opened them Joe was standing over me threatingly. I looked up and saw what he had in mind. "No Joe better no--" but it was too late. Joe cracked the two eggs and the yolk fell on my head. He laughed and walked away as I grabbed the icing and threw squirted it on his butt without him knowing. Selena who had been watching the whole thing busted out laughing. She walked over the the counter and grabbed a plate before filling it with icing. Just as Joe squated to sit down she slid the plate between his rear and the chair and he sat in the gooey mess. "WHAT THE HECK!" Joe yelled standing up and looking at the pink mess all over his jeans. Selena and I continued laughing and before we knew it, we were having an all out food war.
"What is all the racket about?" Nick asked as he walked into the kitchen. Unfortunately for him he walked right inbetween me and Selly as I threw a big glob of cake batter at her and it hit Nick in the side of his face. I covered my mouth as he stood there trying to process what just happened. "Nick I'm so--" I started but Nick cut me off. "Whatever Miley. Just save it" he said as he walked out of the kitchen. I shot Selena and Joe a quick look before I ran after Nick. "Nick really I didn't mean to!" I said but he kept walking upstairs to his room. I followed. "Really Nick, you're going to be mad at me just because I accidentally hit you in the face with cake batter!" I half yelled angrily. At this point Nick had grabbed a towel and wiped his face off before turning to me. "You're right. That's a dumb reason to be upset isn't it." he replied stepping closer to me. I nodded not realising what he was planning to do. "Sorry about that. Truce?" he asked holding his arms out for a hug. I looked at him and stepped closer to give him a hug. As I wrapped my arms around his torso, something wet and slimy hit me in the face. I peeled the towel off my face and glared at Nick who just smirked at me. "really Nick? Really?" I asked turning and storming towards the door. Nick grabbed my hand before I could reach the handle and I smiled. "Miles, I'm sorry that was uncalled for. Please don't be mad okay?" I turned to face Nick, who still hasn't let go of my hand. "So. You had a right to be mad at me for two weeks. I can't be mad at you for five minutes?" I asked. Nick looked down. "Miley. I wasn't mad. I-I was confused and upset. I really miss hanging out with you and being able to talk to you. Can we please start over and be friends?" I shrugged. "Nick. We've started over before and it never works. We can't just be Friends, especially when we both want more than that." I said attempting to tug my hand from his. He tightened his grip. "Then let's be more. Come on Miley, we both know this is what we want, why is it so hard for us to be together?" he asked and I shrugged. "Because we're afraid of what could happen." I stated. Nick looked at me and I locked gazes with him telling him exactly what I knew we were both afraid of. "oh," he said pondering for a moment. "Well, I'm sick of being scared to fall in love." he said as he stepped closer to me leaning in looking deep in my eyes asking for permission. I leaned in more granting him permission and he continued. As his lips brushed mine, I pulled back. "Nick, I don't know if I want to do this." I said honestly leaning against the wall. Nick looked at me for a moment.
"Well then, I'll wait until you are sure." he said. I nodded and Nick grabbed my waist and pulled me into a hug. He rested his head on top of mine and wrapped his arms around my waist as mine found their way around his neck. We stood there for a few minutes before Nick grabbed my hand, kissed my cheek and led me downstairs returning to Joe and Selena.
AN: So... Good. Bad. Lemme know.
