Ugh, I don't really like this chapter. It's short and suckish :( but whatever. I have chapter 11 typed (and that's short too, what is my problem?) and I'm working on chapter 12.

Nick's POV

I left my last hour immediately searching for my AWOL of a girlfriend. She skipped 1st hour for whatever reason and 2nd hour was exactly the same. I went by my lockers and waited for a few minutes. We usually met up by my locker before we left the school but whenever she wouldn't come, she'd tell me before hand. Today however, it was completely different. I waited about 10 minutes but she never showed. Disappointment flooded me but I knew there was nothing I could do but call her and now was not the time.

I left the school set to find my sister, her being my only ride home. I spotted her sitting in her car, her side against the seat as her feet hung out the opened car door. As I reached her side of the car, I pulled the door open wider.

"What are you doing?" I questioned her.

"Waiting for Miley duh," she answering, rolling her eyes a bit.

I rolled my eyes and got in the back seat, slamming the door to irritate my sister some more. "Have you talked to her since this morning?" I saw her nod her head as she sat up, leaning her back against the steering wheel to look at me.

"Um, yep..at lunch," she bit her lip.

"What'd you guys talk about?" Normally, I wouldn't care but the way Vanessa was now avoiding making eye contact with me made me curious. She had been acting suspicious since our talk on Saturday and I was getting tired of the secrecy. In return of my question, she shrugged her shoulders.

"Stuff." Deciding not to press the topic any further, I leaned back in my seat and asked something else:

"Where's Miley at now?"

"I guess she's talking to Cody. She said this morning she was gonna tell him and now I'm worried cause it's taking forever." Typical Vanessa to be worried, but I couldn't say I wasn't. Just then I saw a small figure approaching the car slowly as if broken. I leaned forwards, squinting my eyes a bit to get a better look. It was Miley! Since Vanessa's back was turned she could see. I hopped out of the car immediately and ran to Miley's side, engulfing her in a hug.

I soothed her, trying to calm her down a bit. "What's the matter?"

She shook her head and slowly pulled away. "I don't wanna talk about it right now," came her sad voice, sounding broken. I nodded feeling just as sad at the sight of her. And the way she held herself was making me worried, she was trying to stay strong but wouldn't be able to do so for long.

We stayed put in the parking lot for a little while longer while Vanessa tried to confront Miley the best she could. I zoned them out as I extracted my phone from my jacket pocket and began dialing my girlfriend's number. Please answer the phone, I thought to myself

"Hello?" she answered making me smile just at the sound of her voice. It seemed like I hadn't heard it in forever.

"Hey Dems, where were you today? I haven't seen you at all," I voiced my concern. I heard her sigh as I peered out the rolled down window from the back seat. I could feel Miley's eyes on me after Demi's name left my mouth.

"I um, I-i wasn't feeling good so I didn't come to school. Sorry I didn't tell you." I could just hear the discomfort in her voice as she stuttered and that was when I saw her. She was standing outside of the school looking slightly distressed, her hands in her hair as she paced around. I wouldn't have cared that she didn't tell as much if she she hadn't have just lied to me! I was mad but I couldn't have her know that, I didn't want to upset her.

"Okay, well I'll see you tomorrow."

"Yeah okay." We hung up after our quick goodbye. Then Vanessa started the car and we were on our way...wait where were we going?

"Can we not go to my house Nessa, I wanna talk to you," my ears perked up, hearing Miley's timid voice say. I could only frown, knowing whatever happened between her and Cody had been bad enough to upset her and being upset was the last thing she needed. It me sad me but there was nothing I could do but sit back and wait until she came to me if she needed me.

It was kinda weird how even though my girlfriend had lied to me and obviously something was bothering her, I was worried more about Miley. It bothered me. No matter how bothered and confused I was, I knew there was no way Demi was gonna avoid me. If we wanted to keep our relationship, we'd have to be honest with each other. But why did I have a feeling that neither of us were that sure that our relationship was strong enough to hold onto?

I tried my best to clear my head of any negative thoughts, letting the breeze of the window cool me down as the car ride continued quietly.

I slipped out of the car, walking right past my sister and our mutual friend and entered our house. Seeming cold wasn't my aim but my head was full of unwanted thoughts and if I wanted to get rid of at least some, calling Demi was gonna be my best bet.

I glanced around for my parents, seeing neither of them in sight so I sighed, heading up the stairs and into my room. I didn't need anything from my parents but that didn't mean I couldn't see if they were home but the quietness even as I came upstairs told me they weren't

I fell onto my bed, letting the warm surface calm me and take me away from reality before realizing I was stalling. Why was I stalling? Why did I feel in the pit of my stomach that by the end of our conversation, I was gonna be disappointed? Those questions would forever be left unanswered if I would just stop being a coward and pick of the phone, so I did.

I held the device close to my ear, hearing the voice I was longing to hear.

"Hello?"

"Hey Demi, it's Nick. Sorry for calling again. But we need to talk."

Her voice was beginning to shake, as she replied. "I know, and I have a lot to tell you but I can't do it now. And I'm really sorry Nick," she paused, taking a shallow breath. The way she was acting had me nervous as hell. Why is she sorry?

"Nick...we can't be together anymore, I'm sorry." Demi was full on crying before she hung up on me, leaving me speechless. To say at the least, I was hurt. Out of all the possible things that could've happened, her breaking up with me was a shocker and nothing I could have even thought to happen. Stray tears were dripping from my eyes as what happened fully sunk in. I had been dumped and for all I knew, for no apparent reason.

I suddenly heard my room door creak open but I didn't bother to even take a glance. My heart was aching and my eyes were watering and the last thing I needed was someone bothering me but hearing a sweet voice, all thoughts vanished and my attention was focused somewhere else.

"Nick?" said the voice, coming a bit closer. It was Miley, making me smile through my tears, She was hesitant to come a bit closer but with my motions for her to do so, she did. I wiped my face off as best I could and I could tell by the glimmer in her eyes that she had been crying too. Something we had in common at the moment.

"What are you doing in here?" I questioned with my hoarse voice, confused.

She smiled a little. "Oh, I told Vanessa what happened between me and Cody. But I thought I'd check on you since I noticed something was bothering you in the car." Her confession made me smile all the more. How she had noticed was beyond me but her being here in my presence lifted my mood just a little."Now why were you crying?"

I should be asking you the same thing, I thought. "Demi uh, she broke up with me," I frowned.

Miley's POV

When I had heard this, I frowned. Noooo, please don't tell me she broke up with him because of what happened. I focused my gaze on Nick's face. Behind the smile he was sporting, he was hurt, just as I was. My current relationship status wasn't all that clear to me.

Not saying anything to Nick's words, I let my arms fall over him, pulling him into a hug, his head resting in the crook of my neck. Being upset already didn't stop me from consoling Nick with his breakup. I couldn't imagine what he felt seeing as though I didn't know whether me and Cody were sill together or not. If we weren't...just thinking about it made me cringe.

Nick pulled away from our warm embrace, just enough to see me but not enough for me not to feel his arms around me. "What's got you so shook up?" he asked, concern leaking in his voice. I sighed, running my hands over my stress creased forehead. I lied my body down on Nick's bed to get comfortable.

"I told Cody I was pregnant. He looked so devastated, " I said, recalling the event. "He asked he who the father was, I couldn't say and that got him so upset he left." I held back the tears brimming in my eyes. "I just...what if he breaks up with me?"

Nick let out a low breath, moving back to lay next to me as he turned his head to look at me.

The close proximity between us made me feel better. And in that moment, staring into his eyes, I saw Nick differently. I saw him as the guy who fathered my child, someone who really cared about me. On a friendship level, I loved him; there was no better way to explain it but sometimes though it felt like my feelings went deeper than that. I was having his baby, so maybe I was biased but how come saying I loved him as a friend didn't sit right with me?

"Miles, Demi broke up with me and I have no idea why. Best you can do is wait, try not to think about it," he advised smartly, smiling softly at me, making my insides melt. "Even if he does, I'll be here for you no matter what." That made me smile, why was I feeling this way? But exactly what was I feeling?

I smiled as our gaze got more and more intense with every word. "I know you will but can we not talk about this? I wanna do something else..." I felt my body gravitating towards his, our face getting closer with every second, I could just feel his warm breath on my face.

Nick sat up abruptly, scratching his head awkwardly. "Uh, how about a movie?"

My chest rose as I sighed deeply. What the hell was that? Did I seriously just almost kiss him? I knew I was frowning because for some reason, the fact that Nick moved away made me wanna cry. Suddenly, I felt the need to throw up. I jumped up from the bed and ran near the nearest bathroom, emptying the contents of my stomach, feeling sick soon after finishing. I faintly heard Nick's footsteps as he cautiously came towards me.

I threw my arms up towards him, not caring that I had just thrown up, or that I was upset with him just moments before, at that moment, I needed his arms around me, comforting me. The second I felt his warms embrace, was the minute everything I felt for Nick changed. I no longer thought of him as just a friend or my baby's daddy. I couldn't lie to myself anymore. I liked Nick Jonas and now I had no idea what to do.

Then Vanessa shouted, ruining my mood even more basically,

"Miley! Cody's on the phone!"

Great...
