Disclaimer: I don't own anything unfort.

November, 22, 1 day before Miley's big day, and the day of the Jonas Brothers' Tour: 6:30

I got up out of my bed as I think about what lies ahead, I'm not even sure why I'm going to say goodbye to them in person, I mean technically I already said goodbye to Kevin and Joe, kind of.

I take a quick shower, and then put on a pair of blue jeans and a Hello Kitty tee shirt, plain and simple. I straighten my hair real quick and then put some random curls, and finally I put on a thin layer of makeup.

I go downstairs only to find the house is empty, once again. I sigh, and pick up my phone scrolling down my phone book in my cellular phone and hit call when I get to: 'Nick'.

In a way I'm hoping he will say that they are still home, but in another way I'm hoping he will say they have already left and we can just say our goodbyes over the phone. After 3 rings I hear his voice on the other line, sounding like he just got up.

Nick Miley:

Miley?

Yea, it's me

What are you doing? His voice seems to clear a bit and I can hear him getting up out of his bed, which he obviously was in.

Um, I was just calling to see if you all had left for the studio yet

Oh, no we have to be down there to load the bus by1 my mouth forms in the shape of an O and I slip on some flip flops, not letting myself chicken out, and walking out my front door.

Well, I'm going to come over, so I'll see you in a bit?

Yeah, see you in a minute

I hang up my phone, not bothering to say those 3 little words that I am dying to utter.

I open the door, not bothering to knock today, and make my way into the warming house. I see Joe is still passed out on the couch, his head thrown back, that's really going to hurt when he tries to move his neck. And I can hear Kevin talking to Denise in the kitchen. Then, after a few seconds upon my arrival, I hear someone walking down the stairs. Soon enough I see Nick's curly head of hair emerge from upstairs and he immediately comes over to me, wrapping his arms around my neck.

I take in the scent, never wanting the smell to fade, after a few minutes he moves his hands down to my waste and I drape my arms around his neck. "Miley" he wants to go on, he tries to go on, but right now I don't want him to go on, he can say whatever he wants to say later, I press my lips on his and he eventually starts kissing me back. Now that we are in person, I can't wait any longer to say those words, I pull away and "I love you Nick" he looks a little confused, I guess I am acting a little weird, I mean it's not like we have been away from each other for years, but it feels like we have. "Um, I love you too" I press my head into his chest and allow a couple tears to release from my bright blue eyes.

He pulls me away to look at my face and uses his thumb to wipe away some of the liquid on my face "Please don't cry Miles" I smile up at him and we hug one last time.

He takes his hand in mine and laces our fingers together pulling me over to the loveseat. He sits down first and then I sit on his lap, laying my head on his shoulder. "Now like I was saying…" I sigh a bit loudly but he continues "I'm extremely sorry I didn't tell you about the tour, I just didn't know how to tell you and I knew it would upset you because we aren't going to be able to make it to your birthday party, and I know how much this means to you, and I'm just really sorry Miles" I just sit there, I shouldn't be sad about this whole thing, right? Okay so not right.

I look up at him and stare into his chocolate brown eyes. "It's okay, I'll be fine, it's just a birthday party, no big deal" he shakes his head vigorously "No, it's not just a birthday party Miles, I heard you talking last night about your 13th birthday party and all that. And you were sad, obviously, and 16 is a big deal, and I really want to be here" I nod my head and rest my head back on his shoulder. "Yeah, I want you to be here too" It's a little embarrassing to know that he heard that whole conversation I had with myself last night, but the past is the past and it can't be undone, or in this case unheard.

I jump up off of Nick's lap and he gives me yet another weird look "You all are going to be leaving soon so let's stop sitting around and make what we can out of your last few hours" I grab his hand pulling him up off his butt "Go get changed, were going out" I point toward the stairs and he obeys.

I walk over to Joe, who is still asleep on the couch; I shake his shoulders with force, making him rock back and forth, his head bobbing right along with his upper body. "Wake up Joey" he give him a really big jerk and I hear his neck pop and his eyes fly open as his hand moves toward his neck. I cover my mouth with my hands "I'm so sorry Joe, I didn't mean to hurt you" he just laughs "It's alright Miles, I'm fine" he says in a real groggily voice. Then I remember the whole reason I was waking him up "Okay, get up Joey because we are going to go out" he doesn't ask any questions he just gets up and walks upstairs.

Then I walk into the kitchen, where Kevin is still talking to Denise. "Hey Kev" he looks over at me and I give him the best smile I can "Your brothers and I are going to go out, and do… something. I'm not quite sure yet but were doing something. And I was wondering if you wanted to tag along?" he gives me a look "Are you only inviting me because I can drive?" My smile gets bigger "Maaaaaaaaybe" That is one reason, but I really want him to come, because he is a Jonas Brother, he's part of the clan. He smiles at me and says "Well, I guess I could come with you all" I jump up in happiness and clap my hands; these few hours were going to be sweet.

I see Joe and Nick appear from the steps sporting a regular Jonas Brothers look. "Okay guys lets head out" I grab both of their hands as soon as they step off the last stair and jerk them, dragging them out the door and over to Kevin's car where the oldest brother is waiting on us in the drivers seat.

Joe gets into the passenger seat while Nick and I get in the back seat, me sitting in the middle in an attempt to get as close to him as I possibly can, because in a few hours we won't be near each other at all, no more like miles apart.

Joe pops in a CD into the player and waits for it to load before turning it up extremely loud, the sound blaring from the speakers, the whole car vibrating. Kevin quickly turns it down "Joe!" he scolds, Joe, who is completely oblivious, just gives Kevin a look acting like he is being too much like a parent. But with Joe, you kind of have to be.

They start to argue and I turn my attention to Nick, blocking them out completely. "So…" he looks over at me "So?" I shrug my shoulders and try to think of something to talk about "How long have you known about the tour?" I ask this with total caution, I even thought about it twice, the fact that I could break down if we start talking about it, but I don't care, let the emotion poor out, what do I have to lose? He looks away and replies "About a month" I'm a little shocked, but whatever. "Oh" he responds with a 'yeah' and it gets a little awkward.

I use my hand to move his face to look at mine, I let him no it's okay silently, just with my eyes, he can read me. I lean in and just as we are about to kiss Kevin interrupts us "Hey Miley" I look in his direction, turning a light shade of pink "Yeah" he doesn't take his eyes off the road, unlike Joe who would turn back to look at me while still driving, "Where are we going first?" I think for a second, I hadn't really thought about that "Um, how about PinkBerry? I'm kinda in the mood for more ice cream." He just nods his head as a response and I turn back to Nick.

"Pinkberry? Didn't you have enough ice cream last night?" he must have seen all the empty cartons of ice cream lying all over the place when he was listening in on my little 'conversation'. "A girl can never have enough ice cream Nick, never" he shakes his head "Oh come on, I know you love ice cream too!" he nods his head in agreement "Yeah, just not as much as you" I shake the ice cream exchange and lean in closer to his lips, attempting to kiss him again.

He takes my lead and inclines his neck toward my head and pushes his warm lips onto mine and I can feel those to familiar sparks. He rubs his tongue against my lips and eventually I can feel his tongue massaging my own. And then it all comes to an end when Kevin's car stops and I look up to see we have arrived at PinkBerry. Regretting pulling away I groan wishing I could kiss him longer.

We both unbuckle our seatbelts and climb out of the backseat. We walk into the store after each of us puts on a hat and big sunglasses, hoping no one spots us.

We walk in a group up to the counter and order, and I get to go first. We all end up ordering regular ice cream with our own desired toppings mine being granola and bananas, Nick's being fruity pebbles, Joe's being Cap'n crunch and coco pebbles, and Kevin's being cookies and cream.

We get our ice cream and I instantly dig into the amazing substance that I have been given. I relax back in my seat as the familiar feel of cold cream reaches the back of my throat. "Good?" Nick asks, I nod my head energetically and take another swallow with a big o banana chunk.

We finish our ice cream while talking about where we want to go next, we decide on Urban Outfitters.

We end up walking to the store because it's only 5 minutes away, when I see the familiar store I run inside grabbing every piece of clothing that I like in my size, while Nick, Joe and Kevin slowly pick up random pieces of clothing and laughing at me.

I decide on the stuff I want the most and take it all to the dressing rooms, trying it all on. I end up buying 4 tops, 2 pairs of pants, 1 skirt, 3 pairs of shoes, and 3 scarves-for when it gets cold. And then I remember I still need a dress for my party tomorrow.

"Hey guys I need to get a dress" Kevin looks up "Okay…" I roll my eyes "For my birthday party tomorrow, you know the one you can't attend" he sends me a look of sorry and I know I'm not really mad at him, still a little sad but not mad at all "We're sorry Miles" I laugh "Okay, if you help me buy a dress I won't hold it against you" Kevin looks around the store "So what store do we need to go to, to get a dress?" I think really hard and name of all kinds of designer stores, and we go to all of them.

In one designer store, Iodice, I get the dress that I want to wear for the first part of my party. Because I plan on changing half way through my party, the first half the dress is a little more casual and then I plan on my second dress being more formal.

"Hey Miles" Nick comes over to where I am at and kisses me on my cheek "I really don't want this day to end but it's 12 and we need to start heading back so we can get to the studio on time" the smile that had been on my face faded into a frown and I nodded my head and took the dress in my hands toward the cash register.

"Wait Miles, let me buy that" I keep heading toward the register "No" he runs up behind me and wraps his arms around my waist, kissing my neck gently. "Please" I nod my head; I'm already set on buying this dress with my own money, besides it's not that much. He continues placing soft kisses on my neck and repeating one word "Please" I start moving again but he's right there against my neck, his fingers latched firm around my stomach. "Ugh, Nick stop!" he doesn't, I place the dress on the counter and the lady behind the counter gives me the price, giving me a look of disgust as she looks at the PDA. "Nick stop, you know I'm not into the whole PDA thing" I mean yea its fine if were at his house or a friends house but not in a store when people with cameras could be lurking around. He looks up "Will you let me buy the dress?" I swear he sounds like he is wanting to buy a dress for himself or something, when I don't say anything he kisses me on the neck again "Ok, buy the dang dress" I walk away, annoyed and join Kevin and Joe waiting at the door while Nick pays for the dress.

He comes over, a victorious smile on his face and the dress in a bag in his right hand. I roll my eyes and turn around heading toward Kevin's car, the best few hours of my life are slowly coming to an end.

Nick places the dress gently in the trunk of the car and enters the back seat with me, while Kevin and Joe are already planted in the front. "Okay" Kevin starts "here's the deal, were going to go back to the house to get the remainder of the things we need for the tour and Miley can take her dress into her house, then we will go to the studio were the bus should be waiting for us, Got it?" they all nod, they were really leaving.

I rest my head on Nick's shoulder all the way back to our neighborhood. Once Kevin pulls up in their driveway I get out and Kevin pops the trunk, I get the dress and without saying a word I run over to my house.

The time came too soon, and I was standing outside the Jonas Brothers tour bus, Nick's arms wrapped around me talking about me and kissing me on the forehead every so often. I'm not really sure what he is saying, it's all a really big blur right now.

I'm knocked out of my blur when he lets his hand fall when Joe calls "Come on Nick, it's time to leave" I yelp out like I'm in pain, and I kind of am. Nick gives me a goodbye and starts to walk away, the tears are slowly falling down my cheeks, when the warm salty liquid reaches my lips, I realize I need one more thing.

I run toward Nick and turn him around with a great force, I smash my lips against his and our tongues have a battle, as I kiss him with such energy. My knees get weak and I collapse onto the sidewalk and he bends down to help me up, and kisses me one more time. "COME ON NICHOLAS!" Joe yells from the bus, he turns around to meet my gaze and says those powerful words "I love you Miley Cyrus" I smile "I love you to Nicolas Jonas" we kiss one more time and say goodbye and he leaves.

I watch as the bus turns a corner, and I can't it anymore. I wipe the tears from my face and look at my phone as I feel it vibrate, new text message from Nick. I open it up and read 'I already miss you smiley miley' I grin at the message and type back 'I love you' I shove the phone back into my pocket and turn around, realizing I don't have a ride home.

I pick up my phone and find a number 'Shmandy' I hit the call button and after one ring I hear her voice.

Mandy Miley

Hey Smiley

Shamanders, hey I kind of need a ride

Okay Miles, where are you at? I give her instructions to the studio and after waiting I finally see her white car pull up next to me.

I get in the passenger's seat and she takes off, back toward the direction of mine and her house. Then I remember I'm still missing some outfits and stuff for my party tomorrow. "Hey Shmanderz" She looks in my direction and then baack at the road letting me know she's listening "Could we maybe stop a couple few stores, I still need another dress, two pairs of shoes and accessories for my birthday party tomorrow" she nods her head and take off toward the stores.

In some designer store full of mismatched designer clothes I got a simple black strapless dress for my second dress. For my second dress I decided on wearing heeled shoes I have back at the house that are a royal blue color.

I find a perfect pair of shoes for my first dress, they are the exact same color brown as it is on the dress and they are peep toe pumps, pretty cool. A/N: Could not find shoes, so that's just a description.

I got one accessory for my second dress, silver bow and pearl earrings I think they are beautiful. And I decided not to wear any accessories with my first dress.

Now I'm in my room, with mom sitting on the edge of my bed, she's talking about what my hair stylist thinks she should do with my hair, I'm just agreeing to everything, my mind elsewhere. I figure if my hair turns out looking awful it doesn't matter because the party is going to suck either way.

She finally stops talking about my hair and leaves me in peace, probably noticed that I'm not listening. I lie in my bed, as the quietness surrounds me, the quietness is weird but it's nice. I feel my phone vibrate and I open up the new text message… from 'Nick'.

It reads: Happy Birthday Love u NJJ

I'm kind of confused, my birthday is tomorrow, then I get another text message 'Look at the clock' it's like he can read my mind because right there on my digital clock the time beams 12:01. I reply back 'Thanks NJ I luv u'

I rest my head on my pillow and slowly drift out into a restless sleep.
