The following morning, Joe sat on a stool in Miley's kitchen. Miley was sitting on the counter and Demi was leaning against the wall.
"What are we going to do, guys? He's really upset about the whole spying incident last night," Joe said sadly. He was really upset about the fact that Nick was mad at them all. He hadn't said a word to Joe during breakfast.
Miley sighed and shrugged. "We've apologised. We can't do anything else. Anyway, I'm not really in the mood to talk to Nick," she said.
Joe looked over at her, confused. "Why? Did something happen when he dropped you guys off?"
Demi sighed and sat on the counter beside Miley. "She and Nick had a huge fight last night. And not like the time he told that guy she fucked every guy she saw because he knew that the guy was a player. It was worse. Something's going on between Nicholas and Miss Miley here."
Joe looked at Miley again. "What's going on?"
"Nothing," Miley said, glaring at Demi.
Demi rolled her eyes. "Miley, this is Joe we're talking to. Who would he tell? I mean, he'll hardly tell Nick, seeing as he's not talking to any of us right now." Demi turned to Joe again. "She has a crush on Nick, just like we thought. Thing is, she refuses to tell him how she feels because she's scared he'll reject her."
"Demi!" Miley exclaimed.
"No, Miles, it's okay. I won't tell anyone," Joe said. "But seriously, I agree with Dem. I think you should tell Nick. You're making yourself miserable like this. You can't just watch him with Selena. How is that fair to anyone? What you have to do is tell him that you don't like Selena, and if he asks why, just say that it's because you like him," he continued.
Miley shook her head. "I can't tell him I don't like her. We've already had a huge fight about that, and I'm not going to have him scream at me again. Last night was bad enough. You two didn't see his face. He was so angry at me," she said.
"Nick was angry at us all. We shouldn't have spied, we know. But just give the boy some time. He'll be over it soon enough. Before you know it, things will be back to normal," Demi said.
Miley sighed. "I hope so."
There was a short silence which was interrupted by the doorbell ringing. Miley jumped off the counter and walked into the front door. She didn't bother looking out the window to see who it was. She opened the door and was surprised at who she saw.
"Hello, Miley," Selena said.
She was wearing a pair of denim shorts with a plaid button-down shirt. She wore brown gladiator sandals on her feet. Her hair was in a plait to the side. She had a smile on her face, which surprised Miley even more. She didn't think that Selena would be smiling when she saw Miley.
"Hey, Selena. Um, may I ask what you're doing here?" she asked.
"I wanted to talk to you about yesterday," Selena replied casually.
"Uh, okay. Come on in. Joe and Demi are in the kitchen," Miley said. She stepped back to allow Selena in. Selena nodded and walked in. She followed the sound of Demi's voice. Miley took a deep breath and closed the door before following Selena in.
Miley walked in to see Selena perched on the stool beside Joe with her legs crossed and her hands resting in her lap. She was still smiling as she waited for Miley to join them. Demi was giving her a death glare and Joe was staring awkwardly at his lap.
Miley returned to her seat on the counter and turned to Selena. "What about yesterday?" she asked.
"Well," Selena began. "I think we got off to a bad start. When I passed you at the beach yesterday, you ignored me. I was wondering if something was wrong. Then I got to the beach and Nick seemed off. So I asked him what was wrong and he said he had a fight with you ... about me. Then last night you were spying on us while we were on our date. I was just wondering if you had a problem with my relationship with Nick."
"In all due respect, Selena, what happens between Nick, who, may I add, is my best friend, and I is between us. No offence, but I don't really want to discuss this with a girl I barely know," she said.
Selena's smile stayed on her face, but it faltered slightly. "I don't mean to intrude, I really don't. It's just that Nick seems uncomfortable, if you will, with this situation. I don't want him to feel that way. I want him to feel comfortable if I'm going to be in a relationship with him."
"Listen here, Little Miss -" Demi began, but Joe pinched her thigh, telling her to be quiet. Demi sighed and closed her mouth again.
Miley's eyes narrowed slightly at Selena. "Okay, Selena. Here's the deal. I'm not comfortable with the fact that you're with Nick when I know you'll break his heart. There's my opinion on it. But you know what? You'll be happy to know that Nick and I had a fight and he isn't speaking to me. So there you go. You got what you wanted. Nick's pissed at me. Now why don't you run off back to him and play happy couples?"
Selena stood up and flattened her shirt. She glared at Miley. "Okay, listen to me, bitch. Nobody speaks that way to me. Got that? I'll make this clear. You stay away from Nick from now on. You don't call him, you don't text him, you don't see him. Do you understand me?"
Miley rolled her eyes. "Who the hell are you to tell me I can't see Nick?"
Selena smirked smugly. "Whether you like it or not, sweetheart, I'm his girlfriend now. He'll pick me over you any day. In case you haven't noticed, Nick's one of the lucky ones. Your own brother asked me out, if I recall. Your so called best friend is just one of the ones I actually said yes to," she said.
With that, Selena turned on her heel and walked out of Miley's house. Miley covered her mouth with her hand and shook her head.
"What a bitch," Demi murmured.
At that moment, Joe's phone went off. He looked at it and sighed. "Uh, Nick's on his way over. He said he wants to talk to us about last night," he said. He put his phone on the counter again and leaned his elbows on the counter.
Miley sighed. "Whatever. Can't be worse than the Selena Experience. I swear to God, she should be in a freaking zoo."
Demi laughed. She jumped down from the counter. "Come on, dudes. Let's make Nick think we're having fun." She glanced over at Miley. "Especially you, Miles. It'll drive him crazy," she said. She grinned at Miley and grabbed her arm, pulling her off the counter.
The three of them walked out into the backyard and went to sit by the patio. Joe then lay down and looked up at the sky. "We should go to the pier. Jump off it like we used to when we were kids," he said casually.
Miley nodded. "I miss that," she said.
They were silent for a minute. The silence was broken by the sound of footsteps crunching on the gravel path around the side of Miley's house. The wooden gate to the back creaked open. Nick walked onto the grass and over to them. He sat on the wall around the patio.
"Hi," he said.
Demi and Joe both said hello to Nick, but Miley stayed silent. Nick looked over at her desperately and whispered her name. "Mi?" Miley looked over at him. Her eyes were cold and sad. He sighed and looked at the ground.
"I'm sorry, Mi. I didn't mean what I said last night. I was just angry. I know you didn't deserve all the things I said, and for that I'm so sorry," he said. He searched her face for some kind of emotion, but her face stayed blank.
She looked up at him. "You should leave. Now."
Nick looked back at her, confused. "What? Why?"
Miley shrugged and went back inside. Demi sighed and stood up. "Your girlfriend told Miley to stay away from you. She said she didn't want Miley seeing you, calling you, texting you, anything. So sorry if Miley's a bit upset." Her voice dripped with sarcasm as she said the last sentence.
Nick's jaw dropped. "What? Selena wouldn't do that. She's one of the nicest people I've met in a long time," he said.
Demi shrugged as she helped Joe up. "Maybe she is to you. But she came round here with this fake nice act, then Miley told her what she thought and Selena went all crazy-ass psycho bitch on Miley. She's a freaking nut, Nick. Date her if you want, okay? But by doing that, you may just lose Miley's friendship. She doesn't want anything to do with Selena after today." Demi turned on her heel and followed Miley inside.
Joe nodded and sighed. Nick looked over desperately at him, as if asking him to stay with him. Joe shook his head and went to follow the girls inside.
"Joe? Look, I'm sorry I blew up at Miley, and I'm sorry Selena came round here and yelled at her as well. But I can't control Selena's actions. Please let Miley know that."
Joe spun around. Nick searched his face for even a trace of sympathy, but there was none. The only emotion on Joe's face was anger.
"You know what, Nick? You're hurting her more and more, and it's been 24 hours since you told her you were dating Selena. You've been on one date with her and you're already starting fights with your best friend over her. You want Selena so badly? Fine. Go get her. But just know that by being with Selena you're most likely going to lose your best friend. Think about that, then decide if Selena's really worth it."
Joe then followed the girls into the house and slammed the door behind him. Nick sighed and buried his face in his hands. He didn't know what to do. He wanted to be with Selena, but he didn't want to lose his friends in the process of that.
He slowly got up the wall and went back around the front. He got into his car and sat there for a moment, looking up at Miley's house. He could see people moving at Miley's window, but he knew that they weren't looking at him. He couldn't look at it. He reversed out and drove away. As far away as he could go.
That night, Selena stood outside the bowling alley with her best friend, Taylor. Taylor was standing by the entrance, waiting for Selena to come in as well. Taylor walked over to Selena, who was standing at the edge of the curb, and put her hand on her shoulder.
"Selly? I don't think he's coming," she whispered.
Selena turned around and looked at Taylor. "He's coming," she said forcefully. "He promised me he'd come tonight. He said he wanted to meet my friends. He promised me." Her voice cracked slightly.
Taylor put an arm around Selena. "Maybe something else came up and his phone died. Don't worry. Just come inside. It's getting cold out here. You'll get sick." She tried to guide Selena inside, but she wouldn't budge. She just kept staring at the entrance to the parking lot.
Taylor sighed and hugged Selena.
Selena wiped away a tear and looked up at Taylor. "Tay? He'll never love me like he loves her, will he?" she asked. She sniffled and wiped another tear. "Like he loves Miley. He says he just sees her as a friend but everyone knows just by looking at him that he's practically in love with her." Selena let out a small sob and covered her face with her hands. "Why am I doing this to myself?"
Taylor took Selena by the shoulders and looked at her. "Selena, listen to me. You're beautiful. Every guy at school thinks so. Nick obviously likes you. He asked you out for a reason, not just for the hell of it. Who cares if he loves Miley? I look at that boy and, I admit, I can see that he loves her. But not in the way you think. He loves her like a sister. But he likes you like a girlfriend. Maybe it's only been two days, but I have a feeling that your relationship with Nick will be a good one." She smiled at her and winked. "Call him again. Talk to him. Maybe he's just been held up at his house."
Taylor smiled again. She turned around and walked inside, leaving Selena alone at the curb. Selena walked over to her car, dialling Nick's number as she went. Suddenly, her mood changed. She was now angry. Nobody stood her up.
Miley, Demi and Joe were all squeezed together on the armchair which Miley's father usually occupied as he read his paper. Joe was on the bottom with Demi laying across his lap. Miley was sitting on Demi's shoulders. They were watching the first season of One Tree Hill.
"Why are we watching this?" Joe whined. He reached for the remote, but Miley threw it across the room so he couldn't get it.
"Because James Lafferty and Chad Michael Murray are the definition of gorgeous. Duh. Everyone knows that," Demi stated. She watched the screen as Nathan and Haley kissed. Joe rolled his eyes.
"This show sucks," he announced.
Miley reached down and whacked him over the head. "If you must know, this is one of the best television shows ever made, Joseph," she replied. The doorbell rang, and she stood up. She turned to Joe and narrowed her eyes. "Don't even think of turning this off," she said. She turned on her heel and walked out into the front hall.
She opened the front door and saw Nick standing there. He opened his mouth to speak, but Miley just slammed the door shut. He began to bang on the door.
"Miley, please just hear me out. I was angry. I should never have said those things. And Selena shouldn't have said anything to you either. It's not her place to decide who I can be friends with," he called through the mail slot.
Miley rolled her eyes. "I thought you had a bowling date with the she-devil tonight?" she replied.
"I ditched. I wanted to spend time with you, Demi and Joe."
Miley sighed and opened the door. She shook her head. "What are you doing here, Nick? Selena said you were one of the lucky ones when she came here this morning. And she's right. You are. So what the hell are you doing here when you can be with her?" she asked.
Nick shrugged and grinned at her. "I want to spend some time with my best friend. We haven't really done much of that since I told you about Selena. Can you forgive me?" he asked. He opened out his arms for a hug.
Miley paused and looked at him. He seemed sincere, like he meant every word. She sighed and nodded. She then hugged him. When they pulled back, she grabbed his wrist and pulled him into the living room.
"WOW."
Nick and Miley stopped abruptly when they saw Joe and Demi making out in the armchair.
"Well that was ... long expected," Nick said.
Miley nodded, staring at Joe and Demi. She smiled at them and turned to Nick. "Let's leave them alone," she said. She led him into the kitchen and went over to the fridge. She took out two cans of Diet Coke and slid one across the counter to him.
"Thanks," he said. He pulled himself up onto the counter and looked over at her. "I really am sorry you know. About everything. Selena seriously had no right to come over here and tell you what to do. She shouldn't be deciding who my friends are when we've only been dating for like two days."
Miley shrugged and looked at the floor. "It's cool. I'm over it." She glanced up at Nick and shook her head. "I just don't understand why someone like you is with someone like her. I mean, you're an amazing guy and she's the devil in disguise."
Nick opened his mouth to speak, but at that moment, his phone went off. He glanced at it and sighed. Selena was calling. "Speaking of Selena," he muttered. He was about to press the 'ignore' button but then changed his mind and answered. "What?" he said.
"Nick," Selena said calmly. "Where the hell are you?"
"Oh, sorry. I thought I texted you. I can't come tonight. I forgot that I had plans with Miley, Joe and Demi tonight. Sorry to bail but we've planned this for ages," he lied.
"You're with Miley?" Selena growled angrily.
"Yup," Nick said, popping the 'p'. Miley giggled. Nick winked at her and turned his attention back to his conversation with Selena. "Anyway, sorry I couldn't make it. Maybe we'll meet up some time next week."
"What about our date on Friday night?" she asked weakly.
"Oh, crap. Um, I'm really sorry, Sel, but I'm going to have to cancel then, as well. I forgot that I made plans for that night as well. How about Saturday?" he asked.
"I have to go to cheer camp for three weeks then. Forget it, Nick. Screw you." Selena hung up and threw her phone into the back seat. She didn't want to hear any more of his crap. What the hell was up with him?
Nick put his phone in his pocket and shrugged. "There's the movie night problem sorted too." He grinned at Miley. Miley giggled and shook her head.
"You're such a rebel," she teased.
Nick smirked. "Well, you know how I roll," he replied. He opened his arms. "Sorry hug?" He gave her the puppy dog eyes. Miley smiled and walked over to give him a hug. They stayed like that for a while, until Miley pulled back and smiled.
"Hang on," she said. She walked out to the living room and picked it up. She threw it at Joe and Demi. "YO. LOVEBIRDS. GET THE HELL OF MY DAD'S CHAIR IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO THE NASTY." She placed her hands on her hips and pursed her lips.
Demi fell off Joe when the cushion hit her. She quickly sat up and raised her hands. "OKAY, OKAY, I SURRENDER, PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!" Joe and Miley gave her an odd look. Nick came in and flopped down on Miley's couch. Demi got up and sat beside him. "NICHOLAS!"
Nick rolled his eyes. "What did I tell you about calling me Nicholas?" Demi smirked and patted his shoulder. Nick looked up at Miley. "Only Miley can call me that. And only when she's really pissed at me." He smiled and leaned back, folding his arms across his chest.
Miley grinned. "Yeah, Demi. Only I can call him that." She stuck out her tongue before running and jumping on top of them. They both screamed. Joe then smirked and jumped on top. They all started screaming and yelling and laughing. At that moment, the door opened and Jackson walked in with his arm around Sara, his fiancée.
He looked at them with wide eyes. "I'm really hoping you tell me that I don't want to know," he said quietly.
They all laughed. Miley shoved Joe off. Joe rolled off and landed on the floor with a yelp. Miley jumped to her feet and dusted herself off. Nick and Demi both sat up again and smiled at Jackson and Sara. Sara smiled back uncomfortably.
"Uh, sorry about that. Just a bit of fun," Miley said to the couple, but everyone knew she was aiming it mainly at Sara.
Sara smiled again. "It's okay. I remember my high school summers. We always did stuff like that. We used to always jump off that bridge and into the river. It was so much fun. I remember Jackson wouldn't do it because he said the water was disgusting and dirty." She smiled up at Jackson and sat down on the arm of the chair Joe had occupied just minutes before.
Miley put on a smile, but when she turned around, she rolled her eyes. She found Sara annoying enough as it was. She really didn't give a crap about her high school years. She wanted to live her own, not listen to stories about her soon-to-be sister-in-law.
Jackson and Sara's engagement wasn't something Miley approved of. She found Sara annoying and controlling. She thought her brother deserved better than someone who would spend the rest of her life telling him what to do. She believed that Sara would become Bride-zilla in the run-up to the wedding.
Nick nudged Miley gently and smiled up at Jackson and Sara. "Sounds fun, Sara. The engagement party tomorrow night should be fun, guys. Miley's certainly looking forward to it, aren't you, Miles?" Nick grinned at her, amused.
Miley gritted her teeth and folded her arms. "Oh yes, Nicholas. I'm ecstatic. I can't sleep at night because of my excitement." She sent Sara another fake smile, only to receive another nudge, this time from Demi.
Jackson frowned at his little sister and sat down on the coffee table. "Miley, stop it. Now." He glared at her and mouthed, "We'll talk later." Sara walked over and sat down on Jackson's lap. She smiled at Miley and began playing with Jackson's hair.
Miley faked yet another smile. "If you'll excuse us," she said. "We're going up to my room to hang out. Come get us if you need us. By the way, we'll probably order pizza or Chinese or something, so can you just pay the guy when he comes and I'll pay you back, Jackson?" Miley gave her brother a quick hug and went upstairs with Nick, Demi and Joe.
When they got into her bedroom, Miley flopped down on her bed and screamed into her pillow. "I FREAKING HATE THAT WOMAN." She threw her pillow at the wall and sat up. "She's obviously just using him."
Nick folded his arms over his chest. "Miley, you know that isn't true. Maybe you don't like Sara, but she makes Jackson happier than he's been in a long time. And you just can't admit that," he said. He sat down at Miley's window seat.
Miley glared at him with evil eyes. "Don't make me mad at you again, Nicholas. Because I'll throw you out if you piss me off," she warned.
Nick raised his hands in defence and looked out the window. "You know I'm right," he replied. He then mimed zipping his lips when Miley sent him another dirty look.
Joe sat down beside his brother and patted his shoulder. "That girl has you wrapped around her little finger, bro," he whispered. Joe smiled and looked over at his brother. "Do you like her?" he whispered. His voice kept getting quieter.
Nick glanced over at Miley. She was talking happily to Demi about God knows what. Probably shoes, he thought, a smile spreading across his lips. He turned back to Joe and shrugged. "I don't know. I mean, I've liked Selena for a long time. Every guy in school has. I'm the guy she says yes to, and I'm blowing it for another girl. Maybe Miley is my best friend, yeah. But I've got my chance with the hottest girl in school and I'm choosing my best friend over her."
Joe rolled his eyes and stood on Nick's foot. "Do you know how stupid you sound right now? Of course you're choosing Miley over Selena. Miley's your best friend. But that doesn't answer my question, Nick. Do you like Miley or not? It's a yes or no question. I won't accept 'I don't know'."
Nick sighed. "I guess I kind of do." He looked out at the tree outside Miley's window. When they were younger, around twelve or thirteen, Nick always used to climb the tree and climb in through the window when Miley was grounded, which seemed to be most of the time. "I've known Miley for years. And ... she's beautiful. She really is. But just say we started a relationship and things went badly. That would completely ruin the friendship. And I don't want that. At the end of the day, I always want to be able to turn to my best friend for help or advice. But if we ever broke up, I wouldn't be able to do that. I don't want to gain a girlfriend but lose a best friend," he replied.
Joe nodded and patted Nick's back. "I can see where you're coming from," he said softly. He glanced over at Demi, who was giggling with Miley. "In case nobody's noticed, I like Demi. And I think she likes me too."
Nick laughed. "Oh, we know. Remember what happened in Miley's dad's armchair."
Joe turned pink and looked at his shoes. "As I was saying, I like Demi. But, like you and Miley, we're best friends. I always want us to be there for each other. And I'm just scared a relationship would ruin that for us completely," he said.
Nick opened his mouth to reply, but he was interrupted.
"Yo, dudes." Miley grinned and sat down on Nick's lap with her legs resting on Joe. "What are you two whispering about over here?"
"Stuff. Nothing important," Nick replied. He smiled and leaned against the window.
"Liars," Demi said. She was laying on her stomach on Miley's bed, facing them. Joe glanced at her. She smiled back and winked at him. Joe quickly looked down. He heard Demi's familiar giggle and smiled to himself slightly.
"No, it's nothing. Just guy stuff," Nick said.
Miley jumped off and walked over to her DVD's. "So what should we watch? OOH!" She turned around with an excited smile on her face. "I forgot about the food! Do you guys want Chinese or pizza? Eh, let's go with pizza. Demi and I got Chinese in last time we ordered in food. I can ask Jackson to microwave some popcorn too ... Be right back!" Miley rushed out the door.
The other three heard her go down the stairs and call Jackson. They all smiled at each other.
"She's certainly changed her tune of hormonal teenager to happier-than-a-cheerleader teenager," Joe said, grinning.
Demi laughed and nodded. "I guess that's just Miley, huh?"
Nick nodded, smiling. "Always has been and always will be Miley. She could go from moody bitch to happy-clappy smiley faces in about ten seconds." He chuckled, thinking of a memory. "I remember when we were kids, I stood on her Barbie car thing. It hurt my foot like hell, but I said sorry. Right away, she stopped crying and hugged me and went back to her normal self."
They all laughed. Moments later, Miley came back up. She jumped on top of Demi and smiled at them all. "Yo, dudes. I ordered two pepperoni and two cheese. 'Kay?" They all nodded and she grinned. "Great. Jackson agreed to bring up the food when it gets here. He's going to bring up drinks and popcorn too." She looked at her friends. "Sorry for cramming you guys into my bedroom. I don't really want to be around Sara. She makes me feel sick."
Nick opened his mouth to defend Sara but Joe stood on his foot again. "Do you want her to get pissed at you again? Keep on her good side," he hissed to his brother. Nick nodded and closed his mouth again.
"So, what movie should we watch?" Demi asked. She and Miley stood up and walked over to all Miley's DVDs. They went through them and made a pile of possibilities beside them. When they were finished, they put the pile on the bed and motioned for the boys to join them. Nick and Joe obeyed and stood up. They walked over to the bed and looked.
"Dude, these are all chick flicks!" Joe exclaimed. Miley gave Joe a death glare and he let out a scared squeal. "Nothing wrong with a good old chick flick," he said, his voice high-pitched and scared.
Miley smiled and patted Joe on the head. "Good boy," she said.
They heard the doorbell ring downstairs, followed by Jackson answering and talking. After a few moments, Jackson called up the stairs.
"Hey, Nick! You've got a visitor!" he yelled.
Nick looked at Miley, Demi and Selena. "Who would know I'm -" His eyes widened as he looked at Miley. "No." He bit his lip. "I told Selena I was with you. It's probably her. SOMEBODY come down with me!"
Miley shook her head. "I'm not going down to psycho-bitch. That would be like welcoming her into my home. No way in hell, dudes." She smiled. "Have fun with Slut-lena," she said cheerfully. Nick glared at her, but she just grinned back at him.
Nick grabbed Demi's wrist and pulled her out with him. Sure enough, they saw Selena standing at the door. She was blatantly flirting with Jackson. Sara was giving Selena a dirty look from the kitchen door.
"NICK!" Sara said loudly. "Is this your girlfriend?" she asked.
Nick opened his mouth to speak, but Selena interrupted. She had a sickeningly sweet smile on her face. "Yup, that's me. I'm Nick's girlfriend." She glared at Nick. Jackson gave Selena a funny look, but she just smiled and walked over to Nick, who was standing on the stairs with Demi. "So, sweetie, what are you doing here?" she asked through gritted teeth.
Demi smiled a fake smile at Selena and put an arm around Nick. "He's hanging with his friends. You know, the people who actually care about him," she said. She tilted her head to the side and fluttered her eyelashes. "So, Selena, what can we do for you?"
"I came to take my boyfriend to the bowling alley. Where he promised to meet me," Selena replied. She gave Nick a dirty look before turning her attention back to Demi.
"I'm afraid Nick's a bit busy right now. Sorry. But maybe he'll get back to you when you come home from that prostitute rehab clinic I heard your parents are sending you to. Maybe when you come back you'll have learned that prostitution isn't the answer to your problems." Demi sent Selena another sickeningly sweet fake smiles.
Selena took a deep breath and closed her eyes. "It's. Cheer. Camp," she said through gritted teeth.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. I don't really care what it is. The point is that Nick is busy every night until you leave. Deal with it, hoe," Demi said.
"What the hell is your problem?" Selena exclaimed.
"You are my problem, Selena. You tried to ruin Nick and Miley's friendship when you've only been dating Nick for like two days. Get the fuck over yourself. He'd obviously chose Miley if he had to. He's known her since he was in diapers." Demi walked down the stairs until she reached the bottom. She looked Selena in the eye and glared at her. "By the way, he hasn't actually asked you to be his girlfriend yet. You've been on like one or two dates. Now why don't you eff off and run away to whore camp."
"Cheer camp!" Selena said.
"I don't care!" Demi mocked. She turned around and walked up the stairs. She stopped in front of Nick. "Get rid of her before she drives me insane." She then walked back up to Miley's room.
"Selena, I think you should go. I thought you were pissed at me, then you come over here to find me? What the hell? Look, I'll call you next time I get a chance. But I have plans with my friends tonight. Maybe we'll meet up when you get back from cheer camp," Nick said.
Selena glared at him with tears in her eyes and turned to leave.
"Oh, and Selena?"
She turned around quickly and glared up at him. "What?"
"Demi was right," he said. "I haven't actually asked you to be my girlfriend yet." He smiled at her. "See you soon. Safe journey home. Keep your eye out for stop signs and all that." He grinned at her. "Bye, Selena." With that, he turned and ran back upstairs.
Selena watched him go before storming out of the house as the tears began to fall. I was right, she thought. He really doesn't love me and he never will. What the hell am I doing? She wiped her tears and stood up straight as she approached her car. She couldn't let him get to her. After all, she was the Queen Bee of their school. She had everyone at her feet. She was amazing, and no one could change that.
Author's Note: S'up dudes? I want you guys to answer a few questions in your reviews –
- What do you think of Sara so far?
- Are you happy about Nick and Miley making up?
- What do you think will happen next between Selena and Nick?
Btw, in case anyone thought (which I doubt) that Selena was gone, she's not. She's definitely not gone just yet. Also, I'm going to change the way I write. I've put up three chapters in only a few days, and I really don't think the chapters are that good. So I've decided to put up a chapter after I've written a draft, read over it, added in and taken out things, and read it over again. I think that will definitely make my writing better. I'll admit, I'm a slacker when it comes to reading over my writing and making corrections. Sure, it'll take the chapters longer to come out. But if the chapters are written at a better standard, it's worth it, right? So I'll start that when I write the new chapter. I'll post this one before I start that (: OH. Btw? It's my birthday tomorrow (: *August 1st*
Thanks for reading. Hope you enjoyed. Reviews would be a great birthday present.
