Nick looked the girl across from him in the eyes, deep and beautiful but not the ones he longed for. That was how he felt about every inch of this girl, he touch amazing but not the one he imagined, he kiss sweet but just not complete, the list went on. He felt awful because he really did like her, but he knew he couldn't keep doing this to her or himself. He took a sip of coffee from the Starbucks cup sitting on the table in front of him. Then he began the thing is he hated, but had done for the same reason several times now. "Selena, look I like you a lot. I really do. But…"

Selena cut him off before he could continue "But, I'm not Miley."This caught him off guard; sure that was the real reason. It was the reason behind every time he broke up with any girl. Or only went on one or two dates with a girl before deciding it wasn't right. Miley. She was the reason for it all.

"Selena, that is ridiculous it has been a little over a year since we broke up. It has nothing to do with her. It cliché but it really is me. You are amazing and we get along with great, but something is not there for me. And I feel awful just dragging you along when there is no hope on my end." He felt awful, but in reality it had only been two and a half months. It was not like they had been together for months and months, or even years…he stopped before his mind could drift too far.

"Nick I get it and it is okay. I figured this would happen eventually. I could always tell that Miley was the one really meant for you. I just hopped I could be enough until you two were ready to start anew. I understand. Anyone who isn't her and wants to date you has to understand that they will only be around for as long as Miley is not. So do not worry." She smiled her amazingly sweet smile and put her hand around mine for only the shortest of time. I knew it would have been longer but we were in public and we had to be careful. Even if this was the breakup it still was important to look like nothing more than friends. With that she stood up and I did that same, both our body guards did as well.

We then hugged goodbye and I whispered in her ear softly "Thank you Selena. For everything you were an amazing girlfriend, I mean it. And for understanding as well."

We pulled away and as she grabbed her purse, she said "You are a great guy Nick. Really. Never doubt that." Then she turned around and left without another look.

I sat in the passenger seat as Big Rob took the wheel, I could have driven but I just did not want to right now. Suddenly Big Rob says "She just was not Miley was she?" I laughed and then let out a sigh; Big Rob was one of the coolest guys around.

"Nope, she was amazing but I couldn't do it. God, why is it so hard for me to be with someone Rob?"

He let out a deep hearty laugh, "Nick, you know the answer to that in your heart. You and Miley knew it from day one. And I could see it in both of your eyes. I know no one else could but I knew. You two are different; you are like a whole person when you are together. Dude you found 'the one' at age 11. You started dating her at 12. That does not happen often which is why it is hard to believe. Just give it time, eventually you will find your ways back together."

Sighing, I knew he was correct. Miley and I always knew it, when you find something like it is hard to believe but when it's true you cannot just not believe it because without that other person you feel empty. It was just so hard because we are so young. But Rob is right. We pulled into the driveway and right before I opened the door to get out, I looked at Rob and simply said "Thanks. I know you are right. It's just hard to deal with sometimes."

*************************************************************************************

Miley is sitting next to Justin; he puts his arm around her and squeezes her shoulder. Suddenly Miley shudders as this reminds her of Nick. It was what he always did, cupping her shoulder when his arm was around her. It was how he first kissed her. She shook her head, Justin looked down at her with a questioning look, and she just gave him a reassuring smile and tried to clear the fog in her head. Justin's arm didn't stay at her shoulder long, it starting moving downward and before she knew it, it was around her breast, slowly squeezing and massaging. She wasn't in the mood, she rarely was with Justin, but she played along because it felt good to at least have someone who wanted her. Nick didn't want her anymore so she moved on found someone else, someone who complimented her and wanted her. Filled some needs that ever teenager had. The only thing different with Justin was that he didn't respect her boundaries and beliefs as much. Every other guy, mainly nick, was okay when she wanted to stop, not Justin. They always fought, but her dad really like Justin he thought of him like a son almost. She couldn't just break up with him, plus she needed him sometimes. They understood each other on a weird level, but then again that was only like once every two weeks.

Flashback:

Miley looked across the room at her boyfriend. She loved saying that, her boyfriend. Even though it had been two months since they had started dating the rush from it all never went away. She hopped it stay that way she hated to think that at any time she could look at Nick J and just be. He stomach flipped upside down when he smiled and laughed at something her older brother Trace said. Finally he turned at the end of the conversation and walked back over to her. Grabbing her hand he pulled her to her feet and moved her down a hallway all without stopping. He walked her away from the large group of people and into a deserted room it appeared to be some kind of a mediation room. Figures, they were at some weird Disney event, Nick had been Miley's plus one. The first time she had ever been able to do that.

"Gosh, I've wanted to get away from those people all night." He took a step forward and kissed her on the lips.

"Hey you better be nice to them, if things go well you and your brothers could be working for them one day!" I let slip before another kiss.

Soon we were on the floor me on his lap. Enjoying each others' mouths, I loved that I could feel his smile through the kiss. Just as I started to move my hands through his hair, I heard the door open. I jumped off of him only to find my father and the creator of Hannah Montana, the new show I was about to start. (!!) My heart was in my throat in an instant, as I watched Nick stand up beside me.

"Destiny Hope! You are at a business party, you know much better than to be sneaking around some one else's home, and doing what you were with your boyfriend!" He was not happy. I was suddenly so ashamed of myself. He was right, how could I be doing this right now? I was just about to start my dream up at Disney and I was in here with Nick? I mean sure he was amazing but still how stupid could I be.

"Dad you are so right, I cannot believe I was doing that. I'm sorry." With that I grabbed Nicks hand and laced it through mine before walking back out to the party. Trying my hardest to keep a smile on mine and Nick's saddened face.
