Chapter 13

The Clock Strikes Five And Waits For Death To Arrive

Once Nick got off the plane, he went to Fonteverde Natural Spa Resort. (Real place.) He figured since it was awarded the best resort in Italy, he might as well stay there. Nick wanted to talk to Miley but he thought of two problems.

He had no clue where she was staying with Jake.

He didn't want to just rush there and confuse her.

Nick had tons of free time on him so he used it wisely. He started writing songs and thinking about what he was going to say to get Miley back with him. But he had to wait.

Nick loved Miley and he knew that if he went straight to Miley, she might get a little confused with her emotions. He decided he would wait a month till he communicated with her. He could not wait for that day. Or maybe he could.

Meanwhile

Jake was filming a scene in his movie called Yes, Another Teen Movie. (Fake sequel to Not Another Teen Movie) Miley sat and watched. She had read the script and did not like it one bit. The movie was rated R because it had lots of very sexual scenes. Most of those scenes included Jake, since he was the main character.

The scene that was being filmed was where Jake's character realizes he is still in love with his old girlfriend. The whole scene basically showed Jake and Jamie Lynn Spears as his girlfriend making out.

Miley was disgusted. But she also felt kinda weird about the scene. It reminded her of something…or someone. She wouldn't let herself think about HIM again. She walked outside to get some fresh air. She looked around the beautiful country she was in. As she was looking, someone caught her gaze. She could've sworn it was Nick. "Miley snap out of it! You can't like Nick again, let alone think about him." She thought to herself and went back into the studio just as the director yelled "Cut!"

As much as it pained her, she loved Jake and couldn't get jealous that he was kissing another girl. That wasn't the only thing paining her.

One Month Later

Nick had so much time on his hands over the past month that he wrote dozens of songs but he still didn't know what to say to Miley! He thought sometimes for hours and never could think of anything.

He was pacing around his room when he looked at an Italy Scenery calendar that he got while he stayed there. The date shone July 20th. It had been an exact month since he had arrived which meant it was time. He grabbed his nicest shirt and walked to his car. He hopped in and drove the Cinecittà film studios in Rome. While he stayed at the resort, he did a little research and found out that that's where the movie was being filmed. It would take him a good hour but he didn't care. Miley was worth the drive.

While Nick was doing that, Miley sat in a director's chair with an uncomfortable frown. Today was the last day of filming which meant it would be the most intense scene. Jake had to be in a bed with Jamie in his boxers only which made Miley pretty jealous. Miley did not find this out until she got there, apparently Jake already knew but "forgot" to say something.

"No, he wanted me to suffer instead of staying at the resort watching movies till the party." Miley thought. There was going to be a party to celebrate the ending of the movie.

The scene came up. Miley sat there watching the scene except it didn't feel like a scene anymore. If she was right, Jake was taking it seriously and so was Jamie.

Miley was furious. "I mean if he was gonna cheat on me, I would rather have him do it behind my back then in front of my face." She thought to herself. She stormed out of the studio fed up with the past month. She walked over to where the party was going to be held at. Apparently the party started earlier than she thought because she could hear music blaring from a block away.

Nick was about to park at the studio's entrance when he saw a girl. She had brown hair and looked gorgeous, even though he couldn't see her face. But he didn't need to see her face because it was someone he could recognize anywhere. It was Miley. He slowly followed her to where ever she was going. In his rearview mirror, he saw someone running up to her. It was none other than Jake Parker. Nick hated him so much. It was Jake's fault somewhat. After a month if thinking, Nick realized that yeah it was mostly his fault for his and Miley's break up, but there was something fishy about Jake. Nick thought that Jake had planned for that to happen. Become good friends with Miley when he wasn't around, and then the exact date he would be in Malibu, Jake would tell Miley that he had feelings for her.

Nick parked his car and slowly walked in the big building doors. He looked around at the people surrounding him. There was people dancing and there were lots of people drinking and most of them appeared drunk. Nick just looked at those people in disgust. He quickly washed that face off. He needed to be happy. He was finally going to see Miley. He had not seen, or communicated with her in two years. He started searching around.

In The Meantime

Miley rushed into the building where the party was at. Around her were drunken idiots. "Oh great, I am going to be by a ton of stupid people who are going to be puking by 5:OO. Just awesome!" She thought sarcastically.

Miley felt someone tap her shoulder. She turned around and hoped it wasn't…Jake. He was standing in front of her and seemed mad.

"Why did you run off like that?!" He said angrily.

"Well I am SORRY that I don't want to watch you basically sleep with another girl right in front of my face!" She yelled slightly.

"My god Miley! It's only a movie!" He yelled at her.

Miley started to cry. "Go to hell you bastard!" She yelled loud enough for other people to hear.

She ran off into the back of the building towards doors. Jake just waved a hand like "Whatever" and grabbed a bottle of wine and started to chug. Big mistake.

Nick was watching the whole time, the whole fight. "What an ass. Miley deserves way better than Jake especially since he's hitting the bottle." Nick thought as he watched Jake drinking. He saw Miley running. He looked at his watch. It was five minutes till five.

Miley was crying and pushed open the doors and ran straight into somebody. She figured that they would say something rude like,"What the hell?! Or Watch where you are going!" But the person didn't. They did something that shocked Miley. The person put their arms around her, hugging her. She looked up to see who the nice person was. When she looked, the expression on her face was like she had seen a ghost.

"Nick." She whispered.

He nodded and pulled her into a tight hug. She didn't push away.

"Miley you don't need him. He is as worthless as the grass is green." Nick said trying to comfort her.

"Nick…I'm so happy you're here. I missed you so much." She said.

Nick smiled and said, "Me too. (Pulls her into a hug) Me too.

Miley pulls away from the hug but still holding onto Nick. She looks him in the eyes and softly said, "Nick…I…I…I still love you."

Nick wanted to hear those words so long. He only dreamt that she would say that when he saw her again. He looked her in the eyes, "I never stopped." And smiled.

They stood there looking at each other. They couldn't take it anymore. Nick slowly leaned in and Miley started to but she really couldn't wait. She grabbed his collar and pulled him in. They had never kissed so powerfully. They stood there kissing in Italy once again. It made them both remember the time where Hannah was on tour with the Jonas Brothers. Miley and Nick had gotten into a fight and at the end, they found out the other was in love with them. They kissed the night away.

Jake was barely able to walk since he was so drunk. He swerved his way around the building trying to find Miley. As he passed by a room, he saw something that got him as red as a tomato. Miley was with Nick, and they weren't playing scrabble.

Jake looked around for something and then when he found it, he went over to Miley and Nick.

"I hate to break your little make out session, but Miley you're gonna pay. You will pay NOW!" He shouted. He took out the gun he had and pointed to Miley's heart.

There was a shot fired. Someone screamed.

Another shot was fired.

Dead silence.

Don't hate me for giving you a hanger. They make life more interesting! Hehe Anyway, I realize this seems like other people's idea where someone gets shot and so on, but I add a little "Ashley" to make it sparkle. So who do you think was shot? Did someone die? I realize I said there would be little drama, but what's a good story without some surprises?

Anyways, I want to say thank you to all the people reading this story and the people who are reviewing. Seeing the nice things you say really does help me. I was going to continue writing in my free time since I start school again, but I figured I could squeeze this chapter in real quick. Also, I will not let this story go to waste. You guys want more? Tell me so I know, and I will give you more. It might take a day or two though. Hope enjoy and review!
