Final part of my three shot. Thinking of You She Never Cried Happily Never After, last minute title but it makes sense. Some sexual content is implied. Nothing too descriptive.

"I dont think I want this anymore"
As she drops the ring to the floor
She says to herself "You've left before
This time you will stay gone , thats for sure"

"I'm sorry Jake." she told him.

Her suitcase was packed.

"Miley, please don't..." Jake begged.

She shook her head. Miley was just hurting him by staying.

"I called you Nate, Jake! We were in the middle of one of the holiest thing a married couple could do and I called you Nate!" she cried.

She laid under him and saw his blonde hair frazzled and green eyes sparkle in happiness.

"Miley...." he moaned.

She closed her eyes and a brown eyed curly haired boy took his place.

"Nate..."

Jake jumped off her like she was on fire.

"I don't care Miley! I forgive you for it!"

She knew he was sincere.

But...

Four years of marriage was a long time.

And he deserved more.

And he shattered something as
She dragged her suitcase down the path
To the driveway
She had never gone that far
Normally this would be
The time that she
Would let him talk her out of leaving
But this time, without crying
As she got into her car
She said

Miley heard something crash behind her in the house. Sounded expensive.

A million times she tried it before.

A million and one was the charm.


No..
Happily never after
That just aint for me Because finally
I know, I deserve better, after all
I'll never let another teardrop fall

It surprised her when she cried after she married Jake.

She'd thought that time had passed.

It was not as bad as with Nate, but it was enough.


As she drove away she starts to smile
Realized she hadn't for a while
No destination, she drove for miles
Wonderin' why she stayed in such denial

Miley laughed.

She had never though of happily ever after for herself and here she was being selfish.

Miley'd convinced herself she had wanted that ring on her finger.

And now she had nowhere to go and no idea of what to do next.

And she smiled.

Laughing about the way he shattered something as
She dragged her suitcase down the path
To the driveway
She had never gone that far

Miley drove in to a bar and proceeded to take shots.

Then she noticed a specific set of curls.

"Nate?!" she looked at the frazzeled boy shocked.

"Miley?!" he looked at her the same way.


Normally this would be
The time that she
Would let him talk her out of leaving
But this time, without crying
As she got into her car
She said

"She cheated on me. Two years of marriage later." he told her half an hour and several bottles of tequila later.

"With who?"

"Justin Russo. Her freakin' stepbrother!"

"So how about you?" he asked.

Miley turned red.

"Umm..."

"Yes....?"

"We- were- having- sex- and- I- screamed- your- name!" she let out in a rush.

He spit out his drink.

"WHAT?!" Nate looked at her. Pure shock across his angelic features.

"I should go." she started for the door.

He grabbed her arm stopping her.

And he pulled her in for a kiss.

No..
Happily never after
That just aint for me Because finally
I know, I deserve better, after all
I'll never let another teardrop fall

They were like animals.

Everything they'd kept locked up had finally broken free.

He pushed the door of the room open as he carried her bridal style out.

Nate kissed her one final time and laid her down.

And they made love.

I'm done , I'm done
Said I'm so done
So done, I'm done, I'm done
I'm free, I'm free, I'm free
Free to be me

Miley opened one eye and stared at Nate.

She dressed herself up and started to walk out.

"Miley." she felt two strong arms wrap around her.

"I was an idiot for letting you go once. I'm not making the same mistake twice."

She inhales an air she'd never breathed before
The air of no drama, no more
She said

"But... we're still married." she mumbled her resolve failing her.

"Not forever."


No..
Happily never after
That just aint for me Because finally
I know, I deserve better, after all
I'll never let another teardrop fall

"Mommy!" little Susanne ran up to Miley, her dark brown curls bouncing up and down.

"What about me?!" Nate pouted.

"Sorry daddy, mommy has cookies." Susanne answered.

"Smart kid..." he muttered.


..another teardrop fall
