I looked at the seat next to me in the movie theater, I was ashamed to say I could not even remember her name; it was Ruby, or maybe Judy or maybe Michelle? No wait Michelle was the girl I went to get pizza with last night. Damn why did I have to go on so many dates in the past week? I had another one with someone else tomorrow. I looked over and while I found the girl pretty I did not find her extraordinary. Though at the same time I wanted so badly to kiss her, I thought for a moment, was that a good thing to kiss this girl on the first and only date? I had an image to maintain, but then again I had kissed three or four of the girls from the past nights. What the hell, if his career was going to go down from something like kissing a few girls then let it, I was only going to be young once.

"Hey…" I whispered in her ear waiting for her to turn her head. Swiftly I grabbed her face and slowly kissed her waiting for permission to enter her mouth. She obliges.

"I never thought in a million years I would have been out with you tonight." The girl who I still cannot seem to remember the name of says as I walk her to her door. She has the biggest smile across her face, she seems real and genuine. It's a shame that I will never go out with her again. But she has to know that it's a rebound thing, I mean even though Selena and I never confirmed anything it's everywhere that we broke up. So she has to know. We reached her door and I leaned in giving her a quick peck on the cheek followed by a long hug. "Look Nick, I understand so don't worry. This is a onetime date. And honestly I'm perfectly fine with it. It was a once in a lifetime experience and I'm very grateful I got to have it." With that she turned and walked into her home, without a single look back.

"Wow. " Was all I could muster up as I got back into the passenger seat of the Tahoe. Big Rob looked at me funny then just turned on the radio. Deciding it was better not to know I guess.

"And how was tonight's fair lady?" Joe sarcastically asked when I fell into the seat next to him on the plush leather couch in the family room. He had Spiderman 2 playing on the 52' inch TV, the room felt like it was shaking thanks to the surround sound. He grabbed the remote and turned it down.

"Well, it was nice. I mean I'm not going to see her ever again but whatever that is how it is when I go out with these girls." I shrugged thinking over the night again.

"Nick I do not understand it. You obviously are just going out with these girls every night to distract yourself. The thing is I can't seem to figure out from who, but either way its still confusing because you are getting these girls hopes up. Just to never call them back, so then they are going to hate you." He was serious. Since when was he so against dating?

"Not tonight's girl. She knew it was a one date deal, and was totally okay with it. That's what she said to me when I walked her to the door. I was stunned. Plus I only have a few more dates lined up. What is the big deal? I just wanna have fun, and I'm only young once right?" I turned my attention back to the TV, hoping that was the end of this stupid conversation.

"Dude whatever. I just think you are doing more damage to yourself than good. But you aren't going to listen anyway." Joe frowned at me before turning the volume up louder than it had been when I had entered the room. He was so confusing lately. What was with him?

"This is Milez" I shouted across the room towards the camera.

"And this is Manderz" Mandy ran to stand next to me.

We both brought peace signs up towards the camera and then shouted, "And we are peacing out!" We high fived and I walked over to the camera to turn it off. "Okay I'll edit it tomorrow and have it up later that night sound good?" I looked up from my seat in front of the computer towards Mandy who was making herself comfortable on my bed.

"Yea, that's great." She smiled, but looked bored in my room, at my house, I guess just being here in general she appeared un-amused. "He Miles lets go a pizza and beer run." She asked casually.

"Mandy, you know I can't do that with you. I'm with Disney remembering and I have paparazzi everywhere." I swear sometimes it was like she couldn't understand what I had to deal with. Who I was supposed to be.

"It's not like you don't drink…" She was getting annoyed fast.

"Yea but I don't go flaunting that around for everyone to know. No teenager famous or not does, because it's illegal." I Swear….

"Fine, Pizza and boy run then." She was standing up to grab her shoes and keys. I looked at the clock, wow it was already 10:45 pm.

"How about I stay here and change while you go get the pizza, beer and boys? Then bring them back here and we will chill and have fun." I pleaded trying to keep her happy. I don't understand what was happening to our friendship it used to be so good.

"Yea that works. Back in twenty." She blew me a kiss and walked out the door towards my entrance to the house.

I woke up the next morning, fully dressed on top of the covers on my bed. After a few minutes of confusion it hit me, Mandy ditched me. She left for on a pizza/beer/boy run and never came back. What the hell was wrong with her? I reached over to grab my cell phone, there was a text message from her, sent at about seven a.m. "Miley not going to make it back to your place sorry." I looked at my alarm clock it was noon. She left at almost eleven last night, and it took her that long to text me? I was getting really sick of this bull shit.

Flashback:

I ran off stage, looking over I saw Miley making her change out of her Hannah Outfit. I gave her a fast wink before walking over to my brothers both getting ready for the next set. We gathered in a circle and started to say a prayer, we only had a few seconds before we had to go back on. The entire time though my mind was somewhere else. I was wondering what was going on with Miles over the past three days she had been acting weird. On stage she was slipping kissing me on the cheek and only giving my brothers half the attention she should. It was a rule she gives us all equal attention and we did the same so it didn't look suspicious. But she wasn't playing along. And backstage she was hot and cold. One second we would be sneaking off to a closet somewhere to make -out and the next I would swear she was flirting with another guy. Nothing made any sense. She was the girl I loved but something was wrong I could tell.

Later that night after the show had ended, with a huge success, I was stepping out of the dressing area after a long hot shower to unwind like I did after every show. Joe and Kevin always go first then me. I felt the bus moving, towards our next venue if only I could remember when. I never understood how my brothers could so easily sleep after a show; I was always up for a few hours filled with adrenalin. I looked towards the back and saw my parents asleep as well; I liked this when it was me alone on the bus. Well besides the driver but at night he put the soundproof divider as to not wake us with the radio. Walking into the lounge I was shocked to find Miley sitting there on the couch in her sweats notebook in hand. She was supposed to be with her family on their bus.

"Miley, what are you doing? Why aren't you on your own bus?" Confusion sounded in my voice.

"My dad said it was okay since your family was here, I just wanted to be with you. I feel so out of place in my own skin lately Nick. I don't know what to do. I thought maybe just being with you, even if you don't want to talk I know you might be tired could help. We have been so busy we have barely had time to be together." When I looked at her I saw what I hadn't been able to see for the past few days, worry and sadness. She had been hiding it from everyone else, but now that she could be herself it was obvious she had been like this for a few days.

"I know what you mean. I could tell something wasn't okay with you. But it's been press, and shows and constant time with other people around us. I was getting worried about you. Especially when you kissed me on stage, which was just so out of character since we have a agreement to stick to. I'm here to help, say or not say anything whatever you need." I meant it too. I don't think many boyfriends really would, hell I don't even think my brothers would have the time. But Miley was a part of me and I needed her to be okay so I could.

"I'm sorry about that. I knew I was screwing up but I needed to make sure you knew I still wanted you….sorry I'm rambling just sit here and hold me. I'll be fine. I just need you so I can be me again." And with that I sat next to her on the lounge couch and with my arms around her we sat in silence till I finally heard her breathing even out showing me she finally was able to drift into some sort of sleep. I couldn't help thinking as I sat there that while we may have our bad periods, this right here is what we can be and if you ask me it's pretty damn great.
