I didn't do it to be mean

I needed to tell her the truth

Nicks POV:

Of course I felt bad that I did that to Miley; I didn't mean to hurt her. I needed to tell her the truth.

I just don't love her like I thought I did.

I think Miley knew, knew that I have feelings for Lily. I think she figured out that things weren't going too smooth between us. Staying friends was the best thing to do.

She even understood that.

It was only a month ago I realized it was Lily who I truly loved; it was at Miley's birthday party. She was wearing a nice pink top and the cutest skirt. I've never seen Lily look so beautiful. I caught her staring at me, after a while she stopped paying attention to me. Did I do something wrong?

That night, once most of the guests were gone, I talked to Lily alone on the porch.

I started:

"So did you like the party tonight?" I said grinning

"Yeah it was really fun. A surprise party was the perfect idea. I wish I had a boyfriend who would do that for me..." she looked away

I straightened my face; I felt an awkward vibe coming

"Aw don't worry I know you'll get a boyfriend. You looked great tonight"

She looked back up and smiled

"Really?"

"Yeah. Well I'm glad you had a good time. Let's go check back with the birthday girl.

She nodded and headed back inside. I opened the door for her; she nodded a thank you and entered the house. I caught myself just standing there, staring at her. Her beautiful blonde hair pined back just enough to see her face. I don't think I've ever seen her that happy in a long time. I just didn't know why she became so much more comfortable with me.

Miley walked on the porch before I could get back inside. She came and gave me a kiss. I looked at her in a confused way. Her kiss didn't feel the same. No spark. And in those few moments, I realized I never loved Miley.

I couldn't stop thinking about Lily that entire rest of the week. I used every opportunity to talk to her. She's got me love stoned.
