She slammed the door of her car shut and walked quickly towards the backstage entrance of the Staples Center. She was mad, actually scratch that she was pissed; why on Earth would Nick ask his ex-girlfriend to sing as a replacement of his actual girlfriend? She was really sick, but she came anyway, she wasn't letting this happen. Didn't he understand that this could actually ruin her reputation? She could already see the headlines of all the lame gossip sites: 'Alex Russo replaced by Miley Stewart, Nick's ex-girlfriend?' One of her friends had come to see her perform, and when she saw Miley on stage she immediately texted Alex telling her what was happening and without thinking it twice she got out of her bed and made her way to the concert arena.
She finally got to the door, and didn't have any problems due to the fact that the security already knew her, so they let her in without asking. She thanked them and walked through the backstage, looking for Nick so he could explain to her what was happening here, but she heard that they were needed in the stage to perform so she just headed to the side of the stage to watch the performance. She was looking around until she heard some soft music playing and Nick's voice echoing through the huge speakers. She knew that song; Super Human by Chris Brown and Keri Hilson … it was a duet.
"Weak, I have been crying and crying for weeks. How'd I survive when I can barely speak, barely eat; on my knees" Nick sang his part as he appeared on the platform. He looked so handsome, and for a moment Alex forgot she was actually mad at him, but when she heard the next part of the song she almost screamed. It was her turn to sing.
"But that's the moment you came to me. I don't know what your love has done to me, think I'm invincible I see through the me I used to be." Miley made her way down the stairs as she sang her part, and Alex had to admit she looked very pretty, very natural. And when Miley and Nick finally made eye contact before starting the chorus, Alex could see the spark in their eyes, and the happiness that eradicated both of them; it was love. And she had to find a way to stop this from going too far.
Meanwhile on stage, Nick and Miley kept singing making their ways from each extreme of the stage towards the center, where they met and started singing the chorus. "You changed my whole life" Nick sang, and for a moment he looked right into her eyes and forgot that there was a crowd around them. It felt as if they were the only people right there, and nothing else mattered. "Don't know what you're doing to me with your love" She sang, feeling the same as he was feeling. She knew for a fact that this could be the last time they both sang, so she was planning on making the best out of it, because deep down her she knew she was not singing this as any other song, she actually meant what she was telling him, and she hoped he meant it too.
"I'm feeling all Super human, you did that to me; super human heart beats in me." He sang, pouring his heart out in the song, oblivious to the fact that his girlfriend was standing on the side of the stage watching the whole performance as some tears formed in her eyes. This was too much for her to handle. "Nothing can stop me here with you, superhuman
Super human" They both sang in harmony, and she put a hand on his shoulder while closing her eyes and just singing what she was supposed to sing.
They sang as if there was no tomorrow, and when the song was about to finish Nick went up to her and sang the last part slowly "Nothing can stop me here with you, superhuman
Super human" And that's when the music started fading away and absentmindedly they both hugged, missing the feeling of being in each other's arms. But as soon as he turned around, everything came crashing down. There, standing next to the stage, was Alex with tears pouring down her cheeks. He cursed under his breath, as she shook her head and disappeared through the backstage. He ran out of the stage and followed her, he might not love her as he loved Miley but he wasn't going to let her go like this. He had to explain himself at least.
Miley watched as Nick ran off stage, and she was really confused. She was left standing there awkwardly in front of the whole crowd, who had watched the whole thing and apparently were really confused too. She just waved at the crowed, said thank you and made her way down the platform. She wanted to find Nick and asked him what was happening; if only she knew he was torn between two girls…
Nick finally caught up with Selena, after running through the whole backstage area, and he turned her around so she could look at him. She tried to avoid eye contact but when he did caught a glimpse of her eyes, all he could see was hurt all over her eyes, and he knew he was the one that had caused those emotions on her; he felt guilty. "Alex, it's not what it seems…" He tried finding an excuse in his head, but he knew that it was impossible, both of them knew the truth, but none of them wanted to admit it. Alex just shook her head and wiped her eyes.
"I was sick, and that's what you do to me? Seriously? Did you really thought I'd never find out, Nick?" She wasn't yelling, her voice came barely louder than a whisper, but it held so much emotion that if words could kill, Nick would be already dead. Nick started stuttering, trying to come up with a clever answer but she shook her head again. "Save it, Nick. We both know you love her." He tried to deny her, but again nothing came out of his mouth. "I better go now, good luck with everything" She said before leaving, and as she started disappearing through the crowd, Nick saw she bumped into someone. It was Miley. Shit.
One of the hairstylists told Miley where Nick was, so she made her way towards the part she had told her, but as she got closer she could hear a quiet discussion going on. She really didn't know who was arguing, but as she peaked she realized it was Nick and Alex. Oh, she realized, he was going to talk to her. It all made sense, but she couldn't quite understand why he'd ran away like that. She saw how he tried to make up some excuse, even if she was far away from them, she knew him like the back of her hand and the gestures in his face proved her what he was trying to do. They are talking about me, and I know for a fact that Alex is pissed. She thought to herself as a small smile formed on her lips. She wasn't smiling due to the fact that they were talking about her, but in her opinion Alex had always been a spoiled brat, so knowing that she had made her angry was quite funny and entertaining at the same time. She waited until they stopped talking and she saw Alex making her way out of there, and unfortunately she was walking her way. What could she possibly do? Hide? No, it would be too obvious. Walk as if she was just passing by? Maybe, that could actually be an option. Apparently, Miley took a long time debating what she should do, because she felt someone bumping into her. The person apologized, and when Miley looked up to see who she had bumped with she gasped slightly. It was Alex.
Alex smiled slightly at her, and made her way out of the backstage. Miley was left confused though, didn't Alex hate her? Why the heck was she smiling at her? This was all so weird, and Miley was starting to get worried about it. Wouldn't you worry too if your ex-boyfriend's girlfriend was looking at you like that after singing a love song with him? Today had made Miley think too much, and she really didn't enjoy it. She looked around and found Nick leaning against a wall, still in the same spot he was before, with his eyes closed thinking about something, so she decided not to bother him, she assumed they could talk later. She turned around and made her way to her dressing room so she could change and go find her daughter after that.
She sat on her car, for almost thirty minutes now, thinking of what to do. She hadn't actually broken up with him, but she knew they weren't in good terms either. She had told him to fight for Miley though, so she had clearly messed things up. And smiling to her, was something she did without noticing. What was she really planning? She didn't even know herself, but as she stated before everything happened, she wasn't going to let that get too far. Maybe she could make them be in good terms again. Maybe she could make them have the same strong bond as they had before. And who knew, maybe she could even make them get back together. But don't get too excited, because everyone knows Alex is no saint. She grinned slightly as she thought to herself, if you can't deal with your enemies, join them. Some deep shit was going to get loosed, and we can only blame Alex for whatever happens...
I'm SO sorry I'm such a fail at updating, but I had an awful writer's block and today some inspiration hit me. I know this isn't the best chapter, but it kind of gives you an idea of what's going to happen in the next chapters. Don't forget to review, and I'm sorry again. Love you guys. PS, sorry it's so short.
