CHAPTER SEVENTEEN:
Miley's POV:
Okay, was he TRYING to make me blush? 'Cause after that comment I blushed a 1000x darker shade of red.
"Nick, seriously?" I asked, giggling. "Do you really need me to repeat that for your own satisfaction?"
"Well, I mean it's not every day that I'M called cuter than Joe." He grinned slyly. I just rolled my eyes. He was such a guy—but that's why I love him:). NOT innnn love, just the more than a friend, but the not too-much-kinda love…get it?
"So, do you want to come with me to this party?" I asked, "I was gonna take Demi as my date, but I figured that be a little weird and all." We laughed.
"Sure, I would love too." He said, practically beaming. I can really tell that he likes me, and that feeling gives me butterflies.
---
So, now it's the next day, and Demi and I went shopping for cute outfits. We brought some with us, but they were too dressy. The boys stayed home doing God only knows what, but that gave me time to think about tonight and when ANYTHING between Nick and me can happen.
Nick's POV:
I am both anxious and nervous about this party tonight. I get to spend time with Miley, and I love that, but I was thinking and realized this was a good opportunity to ask her on a REAL date and to be my girlfriend. That's what's freaking me out the most though, how can I just ASK her? Yea, I have asked out girls before, but that was different—they were never my best friend for my whole life before hand, and we never found love for each other during one short summer week. What if she says no and just took that kiss as a simple friendly thing? Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I don't want anything to ruin it.
4 hours later, Joe, Demi, Miley and I were all ready to go and waiting for my mom to bring us, but ONCE AGAIN, she had to take pictures. Ugh, moms. When we finished, we arrived at a mansion-sized beach house, much bigger than ours.
"Hey! Miley, Demi, glad you could make it!" A blonde, tall guy greeted them. They all exchanged hugs, making jealousy invade my body. I have to cool down though, she was just being friendly, and it was nothing more than a nice gesture.
"Oh, I'm being rude," he said towards Joe and me. "I'm Lucas Till." He smiled, introducing himself while putting out his hand. Being polite, I shook it after he shook Joe, but kept a firmer grip on him then I should've. I just was trying to code out that he better not try to get in the way of Miley and I. So, the girls went out on the dance floor, pulling us along, not that we didn't mind. Joe and Demi started dancing like fools, but they were having fun and I wish I could just loosen up like that, but I'm still very nervous with everything. Ugh, why did Miley have to make me like that? Just then, a hand grabbed mine, interrupting my thoughts.
"Nick, come on—dance!" Miley exclaimed, jumping like crazy, making me smile and 'dance' too. We had a fun time; it was so easy to with her. I guess I am in love with my best friend, and it only took 15 years to realize it.
Miley's POV:
Nick was such a bad dancer, but it was cute. I really love being with him; he is NOT like other guys. Normally, the guy would be behind the girl, grinding up on her, but not Nick—which I liked of course, because that seems to forward. About 10 minutes later, Nick and Joe decided to go get food..of course. Ha, and so it was me and Demi dancing like crazy. Just then, I felt hands on my sides and heard, "Hello!" in my ear. I turned around.
"Hey Lucas!" I said hugging him. "Hey, so are you having fun?" He asked.
"Yeah! This party is pretty awesome." I replied smiling, and dancing a little again. "Thanks, and is Nick the guy you told me about?" He questioned, dancing too.
"Yeah, he's the guy I like…but also my best friend, so I don't know how it would be if we did go out." I answered. "Wow, I feel bad for him that he has you as a best friend." He said, trying to hold his smile. "Shut up." I said laughing and lightly smacking his arm.
"Sorry, but being serious, I can tell he likes you too," he said chuckling at first, but stopped, "because when you hugged me before, he looked jealous and tense. I'm a guy, I would know these things." He finished.
"Yeah, true." I said. "Since, the guys are eating, dance with us!" I said taking his hand and pulling him next to me and Demi. We all laughed. This was turning out to be a good night, what could possibly go wrong and make it worse?
Nick's POV:
I can't believe what I am watching. I could feel the tears starting to well up. How could she play games with my heart like that? She told me she doesn't like-like this guy, but yet shes hugging and laughing and DANCING with him. Why would she invite me to this party then? To rub it in my face? Wow, I cant believe how foolish I was. I guess she wasn't the girl I thought she was. Joke must be on me now huh? I could be over reacting but, I know what I saw, and I know Miley she's a flirt. But I can't lash out at her like I did before because I don't know exactly what happened. But something inside me had a different idea. I stormed over to Miley.
"Can we talk?!" I shouted over the music, and because I was angry. I glared at Lucas.
"Uh, sure." She said confused. "Be right back guys!" She said to Demi and Lucas. I took a breath and her hand and led her outside of the house. We walked down the beach before I turned to her.
"Nick, are you okay, you seem angry?" she asked. Boy, does she know me well.
"Are you having fun?" I asked in a fake sweet voice.
"At the party?" She questioned then smiled. "Yeah, Lucas, Demi and I were—"
"No I am not talking about the damn party, Miley. I mean are you having fun playing these games with me?" I couldn't hold it in anymore. I wasn't yelling, though.
"Nick what are you—?" She started, but I cut her off.
"You ask me to go with you to this party, and I did thinking it was a great chance for something to happen for us, but I guess not. You rather be with Lucas, have fun with him and dangle him right in front of me." I paused, shaking my head in disbelief.
"I really don't know what you're talking about Nick. I—" She pleaded. She was hurt. Why do I keep doing this to her?
"So that kiss," I closed my eyes for a second. I cant handle this right now."That kiss from the other night OBVIOUSLY meant more to me then it did to you, am I right?" I added, hurt and anger dripping from my voice.
"Nick, I-I never said—" Tears started to form in her eyes.
"No Miley, I don't hear it." I said holding up my hand. "Sorry for wasting your time, and well, my own. I wont bother you with trying anymore. I hope it works out for you and Lucas." I scoffed and started walking back to the house.
"Nick wait!" She yelled catching up to me. I ignored her and kept walking. She did too. After all, she had to get back to HIM.
Miley's POV:
This whole thing had to be one big misunderstanding. I think I know what happened: Nick saw Lucas come behind me and me hugging him. He also saw us talking/laughing. I guess I can see why he acted like that, because he couldn't hear us, so he only saw our ACTIONS. I feel bad now. But I am upset with him; what he said HURT. Of course that kiss meant a lot to me! I wouldn't have been all smiley now if it wasn't because of it. He just doesn't understand. Why must he do this? I would never play with his emotions either. So, later that night, when we all left and were back home now I was in my room with Demi. Nick never said another word to me the rest of the party. And when he and Joe came over to dance with us, he kept his distance from me. He wouldn't even look at me.
"Demi, I don't know what to do with him. He was being so…UGH!" I threw my hands up dramatically.
"I know, but he really likes you Mi, and I guess he was just so hurt from seeing you with Lucas and all." She explained.
"But we didn't even do anything! The most 'flirty' thing I did was a hug. A HUG! Nick is being ridiculous!" I exclaimed.
"I know, I know. But you don't like him too, right?" Demi asked. (him= Lucas just so you know)
Nick's POV:
I was walking back upstairs, and I heard voices in our room, and heard my name from HER lips. I snuck against the wall standing next to the door way, but they couldn't see me. Here's what I heard:
Miley- "..Nick is being ridiculous!"
Demi- "I know, I know. But you don't like him too, right?"
Miley- "Of course I don't. Sure he's way cute, but I know I don't feel like that towards him." I think my heart just broke in half. That last part HAD to be for me.
Demi- "Okay good. So, like what now about Lucas and Nick? What's gonna happen now do you think?"
Miley- "Well, like I said, I don't feel anything towards him like that and the other one…I don't know. I want something to happen but who knows if anything can?! Everything sucks now."
I couldn't hear anything else so I stormed in. "Your right it does. And how could you lie to me before, because this time I actually HEARD you say that you don't like me! What are you trying to do, Miley?" I bellowed angrily.
"Okay, Nick listen. First off, you walked in on the last part so you don't even KNOW what we're talking about. And secondly, I'm not trying to do anything. I don't like Lucas, and YOU are just being stupid." She shouted.
"Then why the hell were you two all over each other, Miley!?" I yell back.
"Lucas came over and we were just talking he asked me something; about YOU." She retorted.
"Then how come you were all flirty with him? Huh? Because you told me you didn't like him like that, but usually when people flirt, they do." I stated, crossing my arms.
"Nick, for once in your life can you stop assuming things!? Instead of going all psycho and jealous on me, maybe you should actually KNOW what the hell you're talking about first!" She said flatly, tears glistening her eyes. With that, she ran out of the room with Demi giving me a look and following her. Crap.
