a/n: heres the 3rd chapter! sry for it being WAYYY short hah but yea enjoy!

CHAPTER THREE:

Nick's POV:

"Uhh, well w-we were just sa-saying, um," I was stuttering like an idiot. I looked towards my brothers for help, but that was a mistake I regretted quickly.

"We were just saying," Joe—with a sly grin—said while putting his arms around both of our shoulders, "how much this summer is gonna be fun, and how Nick couldn't wait to see you and that he has a burning passion of lo—oof!" Joe put both arms to his stomach, cringing in pain. Let's just say my hand slipped and happened to hit him hard in the stomach ;).

I rolled my eyes, "don't listen to him, he's stupid. We WERE saying how much this summer will be fun, but not the rest—I mean I am happy to see you, don't worry and I—"

"Nick, Nick! I get it don't worry!" Miley laughed. Oh that laugh…I loved it. It was a cute, loud laugh but it was so contagious and filled my insides with a warm, mushy feeling; not that I liked her THAT much... "Anyway, I'm just saying that if I am in any bad mood today, don't take it personally, my mom is bugging me" she said while sighing.

"What's wrong?" I asked concerned. Knowing Miley, she probably wanted something for this trip and her mom said no—Miley can be stubborn at times, but it's kinda cute…but that's a secret between you and me. And boy, did I call it…

Miley's POV:

"My mom won't let me take Demi with us." I said flatly. Sure, I sounded like a little whiny baby who didn't get her way, but seriously if you were in my position you would know exactly WHY I was really upset. Nick looked back at me with his gorgeous, slightly squinted brown eyes, and—whoa, whoa, whoa…did I just say GORGEOUS brown eyes?!?! Oh my gosh, being mad makes me say crazy things! Nick is my best friend; I would NEVER like him like that…right? No. Stop it Miley—great now I'm talking to myself.

Anyway, I know it's possible for two best friends to fall for each other, but we are WAY too much like brother and sister and he would never like me like that any way. So he looked at me like I had two heads and that annoyed me.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I said exasperated.

"You're mad because you can't have your friend with you?? What about me? Oh uh, and Joe and Kevin?" He said, almost looking hurt. Okay, so maybe I was being a little whiny and mean, but COME ON! Did he really want to spend a summer with just me?

"Well, I mean of course I'm happy that I'm with you guys too, but I really don't wanna be the only girl. And who can I talk to about cute boys we see on the beach?" I crossed my arms as I said that. Nick opened his mouth to say something, than closed it. Is it me or did he look…jealous?

Nick's POV:

As Miley said that, I could feel a pang of hurt and jealousy run through me. I really didn't know what to say to that. Okay, I can understand she doesn't wanna be the only girl, but "talk about cute boys?" Yea Miley, why don't you just rip my heart out and step on it? Well, uh, not that I really care THAT much anyway…

"Oh, I guess that makes sense…um I'm gonna help load the car, k?" I said with my head down a little.

"Oh, ok yea," she said and I walked away. Maybe this summer WASN'T gonna be a chance for me and her to become something more…

Miley's POV:

Nick seems upset…it's weird. What could be up with him? He's acting all depressed now since I said stuff about "talking about cute boys" and it's kinda bothering me. Hmmm… maybe, JUST maybe he could like—

"Yo, Miley!" Joe said interrupting my thoughts. I snapped outta it and turned towards him.

"Yea?" I said. We walked towards the cars as we talked.

"You kinda just broke Nick's heart," he said while I stared. "What I mean is that I'm pretty sure he likes you—he won't say so but it really seems like he does, and what you said was kinda harsh…no offense."

"But he doesn't, and it'd be too weird!" I shook my head while looking up at him, "I don't know, but why do you say that?"

"Because," he sighed. "He looked very hurt after you said that thing about the 'cute boys on the beach.' Maybe you should apologize, ya know?" With that he got into the car. Maybe Joe was right…and that would be a first for him.

~WOW this is short hahah but like i said, they all are gonna be but its not that bad right =D haha REVIEWWW3 thanks!
