Nick was strumming his guitar, sitting in the living room. He usually enjoyed afternoons like this, when he could be alone in his house just playing his guitar and letting his emotions out. He, however, wasn't here all day. He had spent some time with his brothers and afterwards he had gone out to have lunch with his girlfriend, Alex Russo.
She was very pretty, we had to admit it, and she was possibly everything that Nick wanted. She was smart, beautiful, and knew how to act and sing. Well, she wasn't the greatest singer on Earth, but she put had a record deal, so she was somehow good.
But even after all this years, he couldn't get himself to love her the way he wanted to. It's not that he didn't want to love her that way; it's just that he couldn't. And it was all because of her, his first love, his first kiss, his first everything, but most important, she was his Miley, the one that would always hold that piece of his heart.
She wasn't like any other girl you knew, because she was unique in her own ways. She was one of the few people that can read others like a book. Nick never knew how she did, but she always managed to know what was happening to him and always knew how to give the most amazing advices, as well.
And if we talked about her physical appearance, gosh, he couldn't even start. He was the most gorgeous girl he had ever seen. She had long legs that seemed to go on forever, she was not skinny but she wasn't fat either and she had curves in all the right places. And we can't forget about her eyes, they were the most amazing blue eyes anyone would ever see. They weren't just regular eyes, but they were full of secrets, and emotions that she didn't want to show. And only some people knew that, and of course Nick was one of those.
She had one of the most amazing voices he had ever heard as well. They both shared the same passion for music, and most of the time that they hung out they'd end up sitting in any of their bedrooms and strum their guitars in sync and sing to something they had just written. It was Miley the one who encouraged Nick to continue trying to get a record deal after he and his brothers were rejected several times, and he got it, thanking her, even if she wasn't there to see it.
Miley left him, though, and that hurt him more than he could imagine. He knew that something was up, because he knew that Miley loved him as much as he loved her. And even if he should've been mad at her for disappearing like that, he couldn't. He loved her too much and even after all of these years, he missed her.
Now, comparing Alex and Miley would not be fair, for any of them, because he loved them both, just differently. Besides, he was with Alex not Miley so he should really stop thinking about Miley like this and trying to compare his girlfriend to another girl. Alex was here for him right now, and Miley left him, that proved a lot… Yeah right, keep thinking that Nicholas.
After all this thinking was done, for good, he kept strumming his guitar, trying to write a new song to play to his brothers, they were planning on releasing a 4th studio album this year, and they still hadn't picked which songs to put on the album.
Half an hour later, Nick was already finishing the melody when Joe appeared through the door. He looked up at his brother, with a serious look on his face. "Joe! I have to talk to you right now" Joe put on a confused look on his place and sat right in front of his little brother "What? Why?" Nick put his guitar down. "Because I just received a call from Kevin, telling me that both of you have been hiding something from me" Joe's eyes widen. No way. It cannot be about Miley, please. I didn't know she told Kevin though.
"What? Me? Pff." Joe said nervously and Nick could sense it. "Yeah Joseph you, and let me tell you I'm not happy about it. How could you not tell me? I mean, I'm your brother! Even Kevin had the guts to tell me" Joe swallowed hard; he didn't like it when Nick talked to him like this. "Well! I promised not to tell anyone" He said and Nick looked at him weirded out. "You promised someone not to tell me? Wow Joe, just wow. You're a great brother" Nick said shaking his head and Joe sighed. "Well I didn't know I had to tell you that Miley had come back! Gosh" Joe said and Nick's world seemed to stop right there.
Had he heard correctly? Did Joe really say that Miley was back? Nick blinked several times, before looking at Joe. "What?" Was all he could manage to say, because he was still quite shocked. "Miley. Is. Back" Joe said before looking at his brother. That's when he realized he just made a terrible mistake, Nick didn't know about Miley, and he had just ruined everything, damn.
-Break Line-
Miley stared at her phone, debating whether she should pick it up or not. As far as she knew, it could be anyone, and that really scared her. After the paparazzi stalked her and Joe down, she was sure Nick had already found out about her being back. But she decided to pick up any ways. If he already knew, then there was no problem in this. After all, people would find out eventually.
"Hello?" She said after she picked her phone up without looking at the caller ID. "Hey Miles, it's me Joe" He said from the other line and she sighed a sigh of relief. "Oh hey Joe, what's up?" She said while closing her laptop. "Nothing much, just called to see if you wanted to hang out again… I'm bored, like seriously. We could go to Starbucks or something" He said. Miley thought about it, she really didn't have anything to do, so she might grab some coffee with Joe. "Okay sure, but can I take Taylor with me?" She heard him sigh a little on the other end "Well, if you want to…" She was confused but continued "Okay then, see you in half an hour. Bye Joe" She hung up and walked to her room to find Taylor sitting in the bed, smiling at her mother. "Hey mommy!"
-Break Line-
"Happy?" Joe said before throwing his phone at the table. Nick had forced him, like really forced him, to call Miley and set something up. Then Nick would show up instead of Joe and he'd see her again, trying to get an explanation and also to catch up again. "Yup, happy as ever, now I'm going to get ready" He said as he got up and walked upstairs. "Uh, thank you?" Joe said from downstairs. "Yeah, yeah, whatever" Nick said before he went to his bathroom to take a quick shower.
After showering he walked into his room, and looked in his closet for something to wear. He had to look casual, because he was supposed to be hanging out there too. But at the same time he didn't want to look bad, even if he had a girlfriend he wanted Miley to have a good impression of him even after 3 years. He finally decided on a v-neck white t-shirt, a blue flannel shirt, a pair of jeans and some sneakers. He put his wallet, his phone and his keys on his pocket and went outside and into his car.
-Break Line-
Miley had finally getting ready herself while Mitchie dressed Taylor. She was wearing denim shorts, that weren't too long but neither too short, a black tank top and her grey cardigan. She finally slipped her black Converses on and went to her room to pick Taylor. She smiled as she looked at her daughter; she was wearing a cute sundress and her little white sandals.
"Aw, Mitch, she looks beautiful. Thank you" Miley said as she picked Taylor up and smiled. "It's okay Miles, don't worry. You go and get fresh air with Joe, and I'll see you later" Mitchie smiled and pushed her friend a little towards the door, she knew that Miley had to take some time for everything that was happening right now. "Ok Mitch, thanks again and see you later" She grabbed her purse and walked with Taylor downstairs and into Mitchie's car.
After fifteen minutes she arrived to Starbucks and went to look for a table to sit in. She decided to wait for Joe before ordering her coffee, so she sat down with Taylor and they started talking, when Miley recognized a familiar face she could never forget. Oh shit. Please, don't see me, please. Miley tried to bend her head a little so he wouldn't see her. Nothing was going the way she wanted it to go, and seeing him right now was certainly not in the plans. She picked her head up a little to see if he was there, and she caught him looking at her. Crap, crap, crap.
Taylor looked at her mom with a confused look on her face, why was she with her head down? "Mommy, what's wrong?" Miley sighed and looked up at her, "Nothing sweetie, it's really nothing". And from the corner of her eye she could see him approaching her, and she really didn't know what to do anymore so she decided to play it cool as if nothing had happened, and she hadn't seen him.
"Miley?" Nick said as he finally got near her and she looked up, he could see she was scared and afraid, and he understood her. They hadn't seen each other in 3 years, and that was kind of reasonable, kind of being the key word. "Hi" She finally said and when he looked at her again, he realized there was a little girl sitting on her lap. He looked at her and realized she resembled a lot to Miley. She had curly brown hair, a little curlier than Miley's, very light brown eyes and she had the same skin color as Miley too. Who would she be though, her sister? It couldn't be, she was too young to be her sister. Could it be her cousin? It could, but why would she bring her to Los Angles with her. Could it be her… daughter? He knew it could be, and maybe that's why she left him 3 years ago, because she was pregnant with someone else's child.
"Hey. I haven't seen you in like a long time. What's up?" He said while leaning against her table, still looking at the little toddler. Miley realized he was looking at Taylor, and she began praying that he didn't realize she was his daughter. "I'm quite good, and you? I heard you guys are very successful artists now" She said trying to change the topic a little. He looked at her now and smiled a little "Yeah, we are. I wouldn't be surprised if there were people stalking me right now and taking pictures" He laughed a little.
"So, who's that little girl?" He asked after a while of just staring in silence. Miley sighed a little and looked away. "She's my daughter…" Taylor got off Miley's lap and walked towards Nick. He hadn't realized yet until he felt someone tugging on his pants. He looked down and saw Taylor standing there with her arms crossed. "Hello" Nick said while looking down at her and she looked up "Hi. Is your name Nick?" Taylor asked and Miley widened her eyes, she had forgotten she knew who Nick was, not exactly but she did. Nick kneeled down and faced her "Yeah, why?" She smiled a little "Oh nothing, I just wanted to know if you were Nick. Mommy and aunt Mitchie talk about you a lot. I don't know why though" She skipped satisfied towards Miley again.
Miley blushed a little and looked away, and Nick laughed a little. "Oh so you talk about me all the time, nice Miley" He teased her and it seemed as if nothing had happened and they were friends again. "Shut up!" Miley said and she laughed as well. They spent like half an hour catching up and talking. "So I never asked you. Who's the father?" Nick said while looking at her, and she sighed trying to avoid eye contact with him. "Uhm…" She said slowly and tried to say it the best way possible. "It's, uhm… it's, it's…" She kept thinking of what to tell him, she wasn't ready to tell him he was a father, for 3 years now without knowing.
"It's Joe's." She said without thinking about the consequences it would cause later.
"What?" He said, getting mad at he replied that sentence again in his mind. It's Joe's, It's Joe's. Fucking Joe.
