LIVE. LAUGH. JONAS.

November, 23, Miley's Birthday 8:00 a.m.
I feel my body shaking and I instantly think that there is an earthquake, I sit up quickly in my bed only to see that Mom is the one shaking me. I slap my hand on my chest "Gosh mom, you scared me, I thought there was an earthquake or something" she just laughs at me and hands me an envelope while saying "Happy Birthday Sweetie"
I open the card and a twenty dollar bill falls out and come to find out it's from my granny back in Tennessee, her handwriting reads 'Miley, Sorry I couldn't make it to your 16th birthday believe me I really wanted to be there. This is just a little present from me, I know It's nothing compared to the money that you have but it's just something, I sent you another present, your daddy has it and isn't suppose to give it to you until your birthday party in the evening. Well, sweets I hope you have a wonderful 16th birthday and I'll see you soon.'
I get up and put the twenty dollar bill in my wallet, I look at myself in the mirror, what a mess. "Thanks for the birthday greeting mother, but if you will excuse me I need to get cleaned up" I crinkle my nose as I point to my body that hasn't been washed since yesterday. She nods her head and exits from my room.
I get a towel and wash cloth from the linen closet and turn the water on, taking a quick shower, letting a few tears escape from my eyes every once in a while.
I put on a pair of black skinny jeans and a 'Where the Wild Things Are' tee shirt. I apply my makeup lightly and then really dark in the corners, with a silver glitter in the tear duct of my eye. I curl my hair and look at my reflection in the mirror. It's not exactly me, I just don't see myself but whatever.
I put on a pair of green flip flops and walk down the stairs while looking at my phone: One Missed Call. I open up my missed calls and see his name, 'Nick'. I hit the green button and hold the phone against my ear. No answer, he must have been calling me before something they had to do, and I was to busy and didn't hear the phone ring. Shoot.
I leave a message "Hey Nick, It's Miley, I saw where you had called and I just figured I would give you a ring back. So call me whenever you get this and hopefully I'll hear the phone ring, Love you" I hang up the phone and realize I have reached the bottom of the stairs and am standing in the middle of the living room.
"Happy Birthday Miley" Brandi calls from the kitchen; her newly died blonde hair swinging around as she turns her attention back toward the magazine in her hand. "Thanks" I know she didn't hear it because she just flips the magazine to the next page and reads intensely on an article.
Then I hear clanking on the wood floor behind me and I turn around and see my mom looking back at me with a warm smile. "Miles, your dad and I are going to go out and look at the party space, and we need to help decorate a little. So we should be back in about hmm say 2 hours" I nod my head and soon they leave.
So I sit here on the couch, bored with nothing to do, except for thinking about what I would do if I could go over to the Jonas' house and they be there.
I step out the back door the fresh air smell filling my nostrils, I take it all in just as much as I can and then the scent becomes familiar to my nose and it just smells plain. I walk over to the play set sitting firm in the ground and climb up steps. I go up to the opening of the slide and just sit there in the cramped space.
Eventually I find myself leaning back against the hard wood letting the tears seep out of my eyes.
My stomach turns sick and I can feel that way to familiar nauseating feeling erupting from my stomach, I rush back into the house and grab the nearest trash can emptying the contents of my stomach into the blue bin.
"You okay Miles?" Brandi asks, still sitting behind the counter, reading a magazine I nod my head yes and make my way back up to my room. I change into a pair of black short shorts and get under the comforter that lies on my bed.
My body starts to shake violently like the world is going to come to an end, or maybe just my world.
I feel my phone start to sing the chorus of 'Just Friends' and I know it's Nick, because it's his very own personalized ring tone. I pick up the phone quickly, afraid that he will hang up, thinking I'm not going to answer and press the phone against my ear.
Nick Miley
Hey Nicky!
Hey Miles, finally answering your phone I see
I am SO sorry, I must have been in the shower when you called, and I just didn't realize, I'm so sorry.
Miles, relax it's okay. I just wanted to call and wish the birthday girl, a happy… well birthday. I giggle just a little.
Thanks.
Anything for you.
So where is your concert tonight?
Ah, who cares about that, tell me about your day so far. ?? What was with that?
Not that great, but okay I guess.
What happened?
Well, it's just that you all aren't here and I'm feeling sick at my stomach, not to mention I just barfed, and my world, for some odd reason, feels like it's crumbling to the ground. I don't know, maybe it's just cause your not here.
Well, it feels good to know that I'm wanted. But Miles, I promise that tonight is going to be wonderful and I think that you are going to enjoy every stinkin' minute of it. Just enjoy being surrounded by all your friends and family, and be glad that they are there for you. Please, Miley, for me just enjoy tonight.
Okay, but only because you want me to. He laughs a little and I hear Kevin in the background telling him he needs to come on or they are going to be late for whatever thing they are doing.
Well, listen Miles, I've got to go but don't forget to enjoy tonight.
I won't, I love you Nicky
I love you too babe
Bye
Goodbye
I hang up the phone, not wanting the conversation to end but knowing that it has to. Hearing his voice made my stomach ease up a bit and the sadness in my body has subsided for the time being.
I get up from my bed and get onto my computer, checking my myspace and facebook and all that fun stuff. I have multiple messages from people wishing me a happy birthday and I thank as many of them as I can, not wanting to leave any one out, but end up having to.
My mind drifts and I try to think of things I can do, it's so boring when I don't have the boys in the house right next to me. I hear my phone ring once again, but this time with a different ring tone, this time it's See You Again. I pick up the phone,
Mandy Miley
Hello Miley is speaking
Hey Shmiley, I was wanting a bit of ice cream from PinkBerry and I was wondering if Mizz Cyrus who I think turned 16 today wanted to come with
Mm, sounds fun, will you swing by and get me?
Be there in a flash
See you in a sec
I hang up my phone and put my flip flops that I had slung off back on and make my way down the stairs. I sit on the couch and wait…
After about 2 minutes I hear a car beep outside and I tell Brandi I'm leaving and I head outside where I see Mandy's white car waiting for me. I hop in the passenger's seat and she drives off.
"So Miss Miley how does it feel to finally be 16?" I shrug my shoulders "I don't know, at this point it's all kind of boring" she looks over at me for a split second, scared that maybe she might run off the road, and notices my expression. It's not really a sad expression because like I said, the sadness has cleared off for a while. It's more of a … well I don't really know what it is.
She doesn't bring it up and eventually the car comes to a complete stop and I realize that we have made it to PinkBerry. I unbuckle my seatbelt and exit the car, ready for some more ice cream goodness.
In the middle of my ice cream my phone blares Achy Breaky Heart through it's speakers and I pick it up.
Billy Ray Miley
Miley is speaking
Hey Miles, we need you back at the house, your mom is going to take you to get your hair done.
Um, okay, ask mom if it's okay if Mandy tags along and gets her hair done with us. He scrambles around in the house and asks mom. I already have heard her answer because the speakers are just that good.
She said it was alright Miles, so we will see you soon?
Yep
We say goodbye and I hang up my phone and look over at Mandy.
"Okay Shmanders let's head on out, we need to go get beautified" she claps her hands together and we exit the store, after picking up after ourselves, of course.
xxLinexx
I looked at my reflection in the mirror at the beauty salon, my hair was kind of curly and was pinned back at the top of my head, the rest flowing down my shoulders, my make-up… flawless, I looked perfect.
I looked over at Mandy to see her looking flawless also, her hair pin straight and her bangs pulled over to the side, she got the tips of her hair dyed a bright yellow color, some people would think it looks tacky, but it looks great on Mandy with her dark hair. Her makeup dark and flawless, kind of like mine
She gives me a warm smile and I return the gesture. Maybe tonight wouldn't be so bad with Mandy by my side… the entire time.
xxLinexx
I slip on the taupe and crème colored dress that I will be wearing for the first half of my party and carefully examine myself in the mirror, twirling around and viewing the backside.
I wish so badly that Nick was here to escort me to my birthday party but instead I get a man that I don't know, my limo driver.
I hear the familiar honk from outside my house and rush to put my shoes on, I click down the steps out of my house.
I slide into the back seat of the black stretch limo and the driver hits the gas, and we are off.
xxLinexx
I look at the scene before me, all my friends on the dance floor dancing along to the beat of the music blaring from the speakers.
Suddenly a spot light shines down on me, blinding my eyes from seeing anything in front of me. Everyone's eyes turn toward me and I giggle a little as I feel my face go pale and start to turn a light pink.
Someone over the speaker blasts through the room as the music dies down "And there she is folks, the reason we are celebrating tonight, Miss Miley Cyrus" I wave around the room and then I spot Mandy and I run over toward her, and the spot light goes off and the music starts back up.
I embrace Mandy in a bone crushing hug and she yelps "Miles, can't breath" she starts gasping for air and I let go.
She gives me a great white smile and says "Come on Miley, let's go dance our butts off!" she drags me toward the center of the dance floor and we dance to the next 6 songs.
Finally it was time to eat cake and I heard my dad's voice echo off the walls of the humongous area. "Miles, come on up here it's time to cut the cake" I walk over to the stage and carefully climb the stairs in my second dress for the evening.
I walk over where dad is standing and he greets me with a kiss upon my cheek. I look down at the really big birthday cake, its aqua and lime green with the classic 'Happy Birthday Miley' in the center written in cursive.
My mom, who suddenly appeared on the other side of me, starts to light up all 16 candles spread across the cake.
Everyone starts to sing the traditional Happy Birthday song and at the end I make my wish and blow out all the candles in one blow, what can I say, I have the lungs of a singer.
The room bursts out in applause when I blow out the last candle and a smile appears across my face, now if my wish could only come true.
Dad hands me a big black knife and I take it in my own hands. I press the knife into the cake and, once again, the room burst out in claps. My dad takes the knife and cuts the rest of the cake.
I'm not really in the mood to eat cake so I go sit down at a dining table, soon after I sit down; Mandy, Emily, and Mitchel come over and join me, with their cake in hand.
We talk about lots of things and they finish there cake, leaving me to myself at the table. Many people will come by and congratulate me on turning 16 and I thank me, yah duh yah duh.
At last dad calls me over to open my presents, the last event for tonight. I open god only knows how many presents and it's down the last one. A small box wrapped in metallic gold paper with a card attached.
I open the present first and gasp when I see a gorgeous silver necklace with a charm in the shape of a heart. I pick the necklace up to examine over it and see that on one side of the heart it's engraved 'MRC' and on the other is carved 'NJJ'. I then rip open the card and open the card, revealing Nick's scrawny writing.
'Miley,
I'm so sorry for disappointing you and I hope you will be able to forgive me. I hope you like the necklace but that is only the beginning of your present. Follow my instructions: 1. Walk over to the stage, and 2. Open up the curtain. The present should be waiting for you there.
Love,
Nicholas Jerry Jonas'
I walk over to the stage, well more like run over to the stage and cautiously open the curtain. Behind the red velvet curtain I see a stool with another white envelope sitting on top. I pick the card up and flip it open.
'Wait for it'
When I finish reading the sentence aloud I feel strong arms wrap around my petite waist and pick me up, swinging me around. I tilt my head upwards and see his face. He turns me around so I can look into his chocolate-ee eyes and leans forward.
"I thought you had a concert tonight?" there's only inches of air in between us and he replies "We just finished" I, very quickly, close the gap not being able to resist the taste of lips any longer.
The crowd erupts in claps for what seems like the billionth time tonight. I smile into the kiss and we soon pull away.
At this very moment I realized that Nick was for sure the one I was going to marry. No matter how many fights we get in, no matter how many girls try to get in between us, and no matter how mad I get, we will be together for ever… for eternity.
"Happy Sweet 16 Miley" I smile up at him
"Thanks. Nicky, I love you"
"I love you too Miles"
I close the gap once again and our lips come in contact, I feel the fireworks explode, and the tingles rush throughout my body. This moment would remain in my mind, forever.
