Hey there-

Thanks for the reviews and let me say welcome back to some of my faithful readers! I am going to apologize in advance for all the descriptions and lack of dialogue but I'm not very good at dialogue and I needed to setup the story a bit. So please bear with me. Anyway…ENJOY! Don't forget to read and review!

Miley was standing in line at the coffee cart that the movie studio had setup outside the large French mansion that would serve as the home base for most of the movie. There were hundreds of people running around getting the old home setup to shoot a major motion picture. There were guys running telephone lines out to the various trailers that they would use for rehearsals and during down time. People with extra generators, lights, sound equipment, construction equipment you name it and it was here. She smiled to herself. She had always thought that it took a lot of people to put together a concert but it was nothing compared to the Herculean effort it took to put together a movie.

It was her turn to order. "I'd like a coffee please."

The man poured her cup. "Do you take cream or sugar?"

"She likes one cream and 2 sugars." Said a voice from behind her. She spun around and smiled.

"Mark! I didn't think you were getting in until tonight!" She said giving him a big hug and quick kiss.

Mark pulled away slightly reminding her of his feelings about showing affection on the set.

Miley straightened out and controlled herself.

"We finished up early so I decided to come out a day early and check out the location." Mark said giving her a smile. He put his hand on the small of her back and led her to some tables that had been setup under the trees in the garden.

He leaned in took her hand in his covertly and whispered in her ear. "You have no idea how much I've missed you."

Miley smiled at him and began blushing. Mark always made her feel good and sophisticated. This was the first "grown up" relationship she had really had. She had dated a few guys in college but none of them were really worth sticking with.

So up until now she had only ever been in love once before. It had been young love but love nonetheless. Jake Ryan.

He had swept her off her feet in middle school and broken her heart more than once before finally getting together in High school.

After their first real breakup he had tried to learn how to be normal and although he hadn't succeeded overnight Miley had seen how much he was trying and she had agreed to help him work at it…together. They spent hours going to coffee shops and exclusive restaurants in disguise just so that Jake would have to learn to be more patient. And the more time they spent together the more they opened up to each other. And eventually Jake seemed to forget about the waiting as they both seemed to get lost in spending time with each other. Eventually they realized that the normal problem was gone and that they had fallen for each other… hard.

After that they had been inseparable for the first two years of high school.

She couldn't remember a time when she had been happier. She went to all of his premiers and he went to all of her concerts. Every few days he would find a new way to show her how much he cared about her… weather it was a note in her locker, a small gift, or a surprise picnic on her balcony she never ceased to be amazed at how much he cared. Even with hundreds of girls after him all the time he never let her believe for a second that there was anyone else because there wasn't. He loved her.

She smiled half heartedly at Mark as he was going on about his trip and the guy next to him on the plane ride.

She fondled the necklace she was wearing and was immediately returned to her memories. It was a gift from him. He had given it to her on their 1 year anniversary.

It was the most perfect day she had ever had. She had been on tour in Chicago at the time and he had surprised her by flying in for the day. Her dad had been in on it and had scheduled the day off. It was wintertime so they had bundled up and gone shopping downtown for Christmas presents. Then they were off to an amazing restaurant at the top of one of the large towers by the lake. They had a table by the window so that they could see the entire city from above and the snow lined lakefront. He had held her hand the entire night. After dinner and dessert they had gone across the street to Navy Pier where there was outdoor ice skating. Miley hadn't been very good at it having always lived in hot climates but Jake wasn't bad and he never let her go. Then just after 10:00 fireworks began to go off. Huge bursts of orange, red, yellow and gold filled the sky. They were incredible. As Jake held Miley against him from behind with her head tilted towards the sky Jake had leaned his head down towards her ear and whispered "I love you Miley Stewart" so that only she could hear it. It was the first time that he had said it directly to her and she was so happy that her eyes were starting to moisten.

It was then that he pulled a box out of his pocket and revealed the beautiful topaz pendant. He had placed it around her neck and clasped it in the back. He then took his hand to tilt her head back towards him. He had looked into her eyes and kissed her gently with the fireworks still going off behind them. It was still one of the most wonderful kisses and best days of her life.

And even though she hadn't seen Jake in almost a decade she still hardly ever took the pendant off. Just looking at it made her smile. Most people thought that she wore it because it made her blue eyes seem somehow bluer… but she knew the real reason. It reminded her of him….of love.

Before their junior year Jake's family had needed to move and although they still loved each other they knew they wouldn't be able to make a long distance relationship work while they were still in high school and still so busy with their careers. So they had broken up. They had attempted keeping in touch but it was too hard on both of them…it just made them keep hoping that something would change and they would be together.

So they had forced themselves to stop calling and now the only things she knew about him she had learned from the tabloids.

He had been ridiculously successful and had made the transition from child star to adult blockbuster effortlessly. And while most days she didn't think about him, every once in awhile there would be something that would bring him back to her thoughts, reminding her that deep down she still missed him.

She looked over at mark and tried to pull herself out of her thoughts of Jake. She reminded herself that she was a different person than she had been when she was dating Jake. At 25 years old she was changing her life and letting it settle down. She had let go of Hannah Montana and the endless tours and performances and had developed a more serious music career as herself, writing mostly soft melodic tunes.

And when she wasn't doing that she had been developing her acting. It was a new way for her to express herself and with Mark with her, showing her the way, she felt like she could conquer this too. She knew that her love for Mark was different than her love had been for Jake but as no two people are alike she felt no two loves would ever be the same. He was older and gentle and everything with him seemed to be more steady than the explosiveness that she had felt with Jake. But they had so much in common and they had grown so close working on their last film that she felt she was ready for a serious relationship with him here in Paris.

She shook her head waking from her reverie as Mark seemed to be waiting for a response from her.

"Yeah…that sounds awful." She said quietly.

Mark didn't seem to notice her lack of interest and continued making conversation.

"So…Have you seen your apartment yet?" Mark asked with a smirk.

Miley's smiled widened… she had no problem talking about her apartment. "I moved in yesterday. It's gorgeous! I love the decorating. It already feels like home."

Mark's smirk widened as he leaned in to whisper to her again. "I wouldn't get too comfortable there…I doubt you'll be spending too many evenings alone at home." He said flirtatiously.

Miley looked at the table blushing slightly. Before she could flirt back her eyes lifted. There across the grounds was the very person that had been a part of her heart since high school.

It was Jake.

He he. And you guys were worried after that first chapter that I might have made a mistake by saying that this was a Jiley story in my summary. If you're read my first story you should realize how much I LOVE this pairing. Anyway thanks for reading! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW! I'll try and update soon…especially with reviews:)
