Chapter 9

Listen To Your Heart

He just looked at her like she was the she devil. She returned the look right back at him. She loved him so dearly and he felt the same about both of them….did he really like her for her or for fame? Miley wanted to scream. She had fallen madly in love with the youngest Jonas Brother. They even some how kissed at a new years party, she was Miley. Then when her boyfriend Jake and she got into a fight, she was in the arms kissing who? Nick Jonas that's who, except she was Hannah. Miley couldn't stand that. Who did he really like? Tears started rolling down Miley's face like a strike in bowling. It smoothly rolled down, but then crashed once it hit. The hit was the pain Miley was feeling. She had met Nick Jonas at her concert in Chicago. He sang a song for a girl he was in love with and Miley envied that girl. She wanted someone to love her like that. Little did Miley know that two years later she would be in Italy, on tour and in love with that one boy who totally hated one of her sides. Nor did she know about the song that Nick had sung at that one concert. The song that was about a girl who was "in the audience" was the one he kept looking at. That girl was her.

Miley was walking down some street in the fabulous country of Italy. She was upset and crying but luckily it was pouring out that day. She was too confused and Nick Jonas singing a song about wanting to be more than Just Friends didn't help since she didn't know who he was really falling for. Why was she feeling this way? She was supposed to be with Jake. But she did things she shouldn't have. She had kissed Nick right after her and Jake were in a fight, but as Hannah. Nick kissed Miley once the clock struck twelve on New Years, meaning she had hurt Jake twice but as two different people. "I thought I loved Nic…Jake! Oh no. I can't like Nick! But I can! But I shouldn't!" Miley thought out loud. Miley remembered something one of her fans told her. "Hannah Montana, I may not be the smartest, oldest teen around, but that doesn't mean I can't give you advice. I hear rumors with you and Jake then you and Nick and I think to myself…Who does she really like? And I will tell you something you will remember for the rest of your life. When it comes to love, listen to your heart, not your brain. Your brain will tell you to do the most logical thing, even if it's not what you really want. Your heart tells you what to choose based on how you feel and what you want. Sometimes your heart is wrong, but that's ok. Each time your heart is broken, you get closer to the one you are meant to be with. Always keep that in mind." "That was the coolest fan." She thought. Miley knew this would be one of those times to use that strategy, but she didn't want to. She knew if she listened to her heart, it would be broken. "So why bother put it out on the battle field just so it can get stabbed? I'll be doing myself a favor."

Miley walked around the big town of Sicily. She had no clue where she was going but she didn't care anymore. Nothing seemed to matter to her. That's when she realized it. She was in love with Nick Jonas and she herself couldn't believe it though it was just herself and her thoughts. She knew she had no chance with him. She had told Nick she only wanted to be friends with him because she didn't think he liked both Miley and Hannah. She regretted doing that. Right now she could be snuggling up to him by a fireplace instead of walking all alone in the middle of now where. This wasn't supposed to happen this way. She was in the coolest country in the world, the one she always wanted to go to but yet she was sad. No miserable, over some guy she barely knew. But the truth was Miley did know Nick. They texted each other when they were both away on tour. Miley knew so much about him.

Miley just couldn't get him out of her head. Everything she looked at reminded her of him. She just wanted everything to get better. She wanted her life to be like a fairytale where Nick would just show up. "This is real life not some stupid cheesy fairytale." She muttered to herself.

Meanwhile

"I just don't get it. I fall in love with Hannah, but then meet a girl who is just like her. It's like a fell in love with two of the same people. I wrote a song about Hannah, but when I touched Miley's hand at the CD signing, I felt a deep connection. But yet when I look in both of their eyes, I feel the same exact feeling. I'm in love with both of them. That just screws up everything else!" Nick thought to himself. He was going crazy. He was in love with Hannah Montana, pop star sensation. But he was also in love with Miley Cyrus, a beautiful girl who appeared out of now where. But he never understood why he fell in love with her so fast. The second he looked into her eyes, he was in love. He fell in love with Hannah kind of like any fan with a celebrity. He realized that the only reason he fell for Miley, was because she reminded him of Hannah, but Nick didn't actually know if he was IN love with Hannah. But with Miley he knew that for a fact.

As Nick was thinking all of this, he saw a girl walking in the middle of the rain. He knew who it was because she had glanced over when she heard footsteps. She started to jog. Nick knew it was Miley. He had to do a lot of talking with this girl so it helped that she was in Italy with him. "Wait. How is she in Italy?" He really didn't care he ran towards her.

Miley saw him. The one who was making her head spin. The one who was making her mad and sad inside. The one who was making her go crazy. The one she was madly in love with. He was screaming something as she ran away in tears.

"Miley! Miley! MILEY! MILEY!!!!" He screamed.

He caught up to her and stopped her.

"We need to talk. So much has happened, but I'm just glad that you are here." He said out of breath.

"Nick I can't talk to you." Tears still rolling town her cheeks.

"Miley why are you crying? Oh Miley you don't need to cry. We can figure all of this mess out together." He said and put his hand out for her to grab.

"Nick its way more confusing than that." Miley said and pushed his hand away.

"No its not! Miley I am just as confused as you are."

Miley stopped dead in her tracks and looked at him with daggers in her eyes. "You are confused?! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW CONFUSED I AM! I HAVE IT A LOT HARDER THAN YOU DO!"

Nick stood there in shock not knowing what to say. "Wait, Miley. I am going through the same stuff you are."

"Nick you aren't even close to what I'm going through."

"Miley just stop! Ok I'm sorry if I confused you but you don't need to try and get all of this focused on you!"

"Nick just shut up! I am sick of all of this. And all I want right now is for the attention to get off of me!."

"What are you talking about?! You're not even famous so you don't have to deal with the spotlight always being on you!"

"That's what you think." Miley mumbled this hoping it was low enough for Nick not to hear it. He did.

"Ok now I'm really confused. Miley Cyrus is not famous." He looked at her sternly.

"Have you ever thought maybe I'm not only Miley Cyrus?"

"What the hell are you talking about?!" Nick screamed angrily.

"I'M HANNAH MONTANA!!!" Miley screamed.

She broke down in a trail of tears. The rain was mixing with her tears so she didn't bother wiping them.

Nick stood there in shock. Everything made sense to him now. Why every time he looked in Hannah's eyes and then Miley's eyes he felt the same connection. Every time either of them winked, he almost fainted. He thought he was in love with two girls, but really she was only one. He was pleased with this. He knew it all now. He was in love with "Hannah" because of her music. He was in love with Miley because of everything else. Her beautiful brown hair. Her gorgeous hazel eyes. Her silky smooth lips. Everything about Miley made him crazy about her. He was in so much pain because the two halves he thought he lost turned out to be one whole thing which caused way more pain.

Nick looked at Miley and sees that she is crying. He gently wipes her tears away. Miley was about to swat his hand away but she didn't. It would require movement.

"Miley, you've always were here, right in front of my face. I had fallen in love with Hannah for her music but I had fallen in love with you because of everything. Miley you are perfect in every way. There is not one thing I would change about you. Miley Cyrus…I'm in love with you! Nick said.

He was slowly leaning in. Miley started to think on what she should do. Her mind just kept telling her he would break her heart again. Then she remembered the advice that fan gave her. She heard what her heart said. Her heart told her to forget everything else. It was only her and him. Miley loved him whether anyone liked it or not. She had fallen head over heals since she basically met him. She had dated many other guys who were gorgeous and some what nice, but no one compared to Nick. Miley listened to her heart. (All of that happened in like 10 seconds)

Nick pulled Miley in for a strong passionate kiss. They both were madly in love with each other and had been for a couple of years, so all the times they just wanted to grab the other and kiss them was put into this kiss. There they stood, in Italy in the middle of now where and in the middle of the rain, kissing.

They slowly pulled away, though they were still very close. Miley looked into his beautiful eyes and said, "I love you too." A tear slowly trickled down her cheek. Then Miley pulled Nick in and they continued to kiss for what felt like hours.

If anyone could dream of the perfect day, this would be it.

Nick kept thinking, "Yes! She likes me back. No she doesn't, she loves me! Oh I am so happy. Now I can spend so much time with her and Hannah. Yay!"

Miley couldn't believe this was all happening. She was waiting for someone to wake her from this amazing dream, but no one did. Miley realized it wasn't a dream because everything was real and she tried pinching herself. Also, if it was a dream, she would've woken up already cause anytime you have a dream like this, you wake up right before the kiss. Miley definitely got to experience the kiss. Miley was so happy. She was also happy that she and Jake had broken up before she got to Italy meaning it was ok for her to do all of this with Nick. But most of all, she was happy she could be standing right here with Nick. Nothing else in the world mattered to them other then each other. They continued to kiss and the night went on.
