CHAPTER EIGHTEEN:

Miley's POV:
I cannot believe him. As I ran outta the room, I burst into tears. I ran all the way down the stairs, passing Joe in the living room and storming out the front door slamming it shut. I wasn't paying attention because of the stream of tears coming down my face, and I tripped down the last stair off the porch. I fell on the hard stone, but it didn't hurt that much, just a scraped knee. I felt a pair of arms around me and I knew it was Demi, so I just cried into her shoulder.

"Shhh, its okay Miley." She told me over and over. I just sobbed even harder, cause I really DON'T think everything will be okay. What hurt more was the fact that Nick thinks the worst of me. He honestly would think that I would invite HIM to a party, and just flirt with someone else? Okay, maybe I should've been more with him, but he went to eat food! What was I suppose to do, follow him like a lost puppy? No. I like making new friends, and that's what Lucas was; A FRIEND.

"I…don't see…anything…wrong w-with…making n-new…friends, D-Demi." I stuttered in between sobs.

"I know, I know, Nick doesn't know the whole story though, Miles." Demi said.

"That's because," I sniffed, and wiped some fallen tears "He thinks I actually LIED to him. He is…only b-believing what he saw and 'heard.'" I choked on tears some more.

"I know. I think one of us should talk to him and—"

"No!" I cut her off. "If he wants be a jerk and yell at me for no reason, let him. He can figure out himself that I wasn't trying to play any games or whatever." I added. Demi just sighed and continued to hold me and tried to calm me down. It's now been 3 days, and Nick and I haven't talked since then. There would be the occasional 'Excuse me' if we were in the way of the each other, or 'can you please pass a napkin?' at dinner, but that was it. He wouldn't even look me in the eye, and I didn't try either. I guess you can say whatever COULDVE happened between Nick and I, wont now.

With Joe and Demi:

"Joe, we gotta do something they are being ridiculous!" Demi exclaimed.

"I know, but Nick told me what happened, and he seems REALLY hurt from it." Joe replied.

"You only know the story NICK told, but that's not what really happened." She said and then told him everything from Lucas at the party to what they REALLY said in the bedroom.

"Oh wow, I feel bad for MILEY now. Nick usually never gets jealous like that." Joe said.

"Maybe he just loves her so much, that he can't stand seeing her with another guy." Demi answered.

"Yea that's probably it. He does really love her; believe me I had to hear it this past week!" Joe threw his hands up as Demi giggled.

"You should tell Nick this; maybe he can fix things now." Demi suggested. Joe nodded and smiled at Demi; he really liked her and he wanted to let her know. But this was probably not the best time to ask—he will later though.

"Hey." A voice said. It was Nick and he walked over to them.

Nick's POV:

As I walked over to them, Demi nodded at Joe, who then pulled me aside to talk.

"Listen dude, I have to tell you something about what happened with Miley the other day," He said. "You never gave her a chance to explain, and she's really upset over—"

"So am I Joe! And what does she need to explain, I witnessed it with my own eyes, and EARS for that matter." I shouted.

"But that's only what YOU are letting yourself to believe Nick! Demi told me the real story, and it was nothing as it seemed." Joe retorted. He then told me everything that happened. After hearing this story, I feel like a complete a**hole, and also very stupid, how could I not listen to what Miley had to say? I usually trust her, and I still do, but why DID I let myself to believe that she would do that to me? But I do know why, it's because I have fallen in love with her, and it kills me seeing her with another guy.

"Oh my God." I said rubbing my head.

"God doesn't have anything to do with it Nick, now I want you to go to Miley and apologize. And also, go get your girl." He added smiling slightly.

"But Joe, she probably hates me now, I wouldn't blame her; I would hate me too." I sighed looking down.

"She doesn't hate you, she's just very hurt from this." He said matter-of-factly, "Now go talk to her before you lose her completely." Joe said pushing me a little.

"Yea, your right thanks." I said smiling slightly and hugging my brother. Too bad Joe isn't this sensitive ALL the time.

As if on cue, Miley walked downstairs. "Oh, sorry for interrupting, I wouldn't wanna get ACCUSED for being in your way." She said glaring at me. She then opened to front door and slammed it shut. Yup, she was still pissed.

I looked at Joe, who gave me a 'go on' look, I sighed and opened to door and ran after her in the pouring rain—great. "Miley!" I shouted. She walked faster, but I caught up and held her tight. "I need to talk to you, I'm sorry okay?" I said in her ear. She started to shake and I knew she was crying. "I'm really and truly sorry!" I said again.

~ooohh whats gonna happen? i hope they forgive eachother..well miley forgiving nick and things will be okay...review please! thanks=]
