Selena's Pov
I was seriously tired for the day. But I couldn't go home yet due to cheer practice. I was standing at my locker getting ready to go change for practice when Harper came by.
"Hey Sel whats up?" She said nonchalantly
"Hi Harper nothing much you?" I answered back tiredly
I really wasn't in the mood to talk but I didn't want to tell Harper that.
"So……." Harper said
I stared back her. The only time Harper says "so" like that is when she has some gossip. I would probably be a little late to practice but my gossip tank was running on empty and maybe this gossip could fill it up.
"Spill Harper and this better be good."
"Oh trust me this is rich." Harper said with a smirk. "Guess who now has some competition for her man?"
I waited for Harper to tell me who but the answer came to me before she could even open her mouth to talk.
"No. Harper you're k-kidding right?" I said stuttering. "No on e. I mean NO one would mess with Nick."
" Whatever helps you sleep at night" Harper said smiling
She began to walk away and I followed.
"Harper , wait! Who is it?"I asked. The paranoia in my voice was audible and I knew that the mark Harper meant to hit was hit. (A/N sorry if that doesn't make sense. It supposed to mean that Harper struck a nerve.)
"Go to the music room and see for yourself." She said smiling and continued to walk away.
I turned around and ran for the music room. Once I got there I stared through the little window that was on the door. There was Nick and Miley laughing sitting next to each by the piano. I reached into my pocket and got out my phone to check the time. It was 3:45 and Nick was way past late for basketball practice. I was about to open the door and demand to know why Nick was with her when an idea came to me.
I dialed a number I knew all too well. I waited as the phone rang knowing that the person would pick up.
"Hello?"
"Hey Mr.' Grey whets up?"I said in the most innocent way I could.
"Hi Selena How are you dear?"
"Oh I'm fine I was just wondering about Nick." I said nonchalantly
"What about Nick?"I could tell I struck a nerve with that question.
"Well he's not at practice and the guys and I was worried. Last time they saw he was with that girl. Um what was her name? Miley I think it was."I could tell he was mad by the sound of his breathing over the phone. "I've got to practice bye."
I didn't wait for him to say bye. I ended the call and took one last look at Nick and Miley and walked away. My half of the plan was complete now all I need is for Mr.' Grey to do the rest.
Miley's Pov
Nick just keeps staring at me. I'm not sure if it was because of my playing or if he was too shy to play for me. Either way he was creeping the hell out of me.
"Nick?"
He finally snapped out of it and looked away.
"So what do you play?"
"Move over and then maybe I can show you."He said with a bunch of cockiness.
Great. Right when I think the jackass is getting some personality he goes right back. Idiot.
He began playing a song on the piano that was completely new to me. The most shocking part was when he actually opened is mouth. Wow, Mr. Cocky can sing who thought?
It was weird because you could really see him getting into eyes were closed and he was so peaceful. He looked kind of….cute.
Nick's pov
I've never played that song for anyone. So I had absolutely no idea why I was playing it for Miley. I wrote the song months ago. When my dad told me that I had to join the basketball team I was pretty pissed.I was planning to take some music classes but telling my dad that would just lead to another lecture about my future.
When the song finally ended I looked at Miley and she just…staring.
"You didn't know did you?"I asked
"Well you didn't actually make yourself known. "She answered.
"Well I am a guy with many talents."I said
"And strikes again."
We sat in silence for a while since neither of us knew what to Say to each other.
"Do you wanna go somewhere?"
I knew what I just said startled her sine she gave me that what the hell are you planning look.
"What about Demi?"
"She can come too."
I picked up my phone and dialed Demi's number. After two rings she pickled up.
"Hello?"
"Hey Dems, come to the music room."
"Okay."
Miley's Pov
Was this really happening Nick asking me to go somewhere with him? What happened to the jerk I've been living with for the past week?
Demi was in the doorway not even a minute after the call ended.
"Hey whets up?"Demi asked
"We're going out. Nick said simply.
"Can't swamped with homework plus Joe is taking me to the mall. But you and Miley can go."Demi said.
I gave her the what are you doing look but she just smiled.
"Well I gotta awaits."Demi waved then left the room.
"Okay lets go."Nick said getting up.
I grabbed my bag and followed him out through the hallways and out the school doors. We got into his car and drove off. It as pretty silent in the car until Nick tried to stir up conversation.
" So you play very well."He said
"What are you doing?"I asked
"What do you mean? I'm driving."
"No. I mean what are you trying to do? You hate me. Now your trying to take me out like nothing has happened.' I asked
"Look I was trying to be nice. Last time I checked I didn't put a damn gum to your head and told you to get in the fucking car did me? I just wanted to try to get to know you. Demi has been nagging me to do so. "He yelled back
"Stop here."I said
Nick's Pov.
"What?"
"Stop here."Miley answered." If you want to know more about me then stop here, get out of your car and follow me."
We stopped and I did exactly what she said to do. I found my self at a restaurant I've seen may times before but never actually went into. Kira's Diner was said to have some good food but I never tried since Selena never wanted to.
We sat down and immediately a woman appeared at our booth.
"My Miley! Where have you been I've been worried sick!"the lady complained
"Nick this is Kira. She took care of me when my mom didn't feel like it."Miley explained
"Hello."
"Hi sweetie. Miley we will talk about this later./ Right now I'm going to get you some food in you"Kira said walking away.
Miley's POV
I don't know why I'm telling Nick this but for some reason I feel like I need to.
" What did you mean when you said your mom didn't feel like it?" Nick asked out of the blue.
"I had two sisters and two brothers. I'm the only one who's still alive."I said "We went to a concert one night and our parents let us all use the minicvan . We wre coming back from a Green Day was the best concert ever and even better because I got to go with my brother and sisters. "
Nick hadn't said anything so I kept going.
"It was all fine. Brandi was was the safest driver of us all so that's why she was driving. It was our turn to go but some truck driver didn't see the red light so he kept on going and so did we. I remember my brother yelling and throwing himself over my little sister Noah and me but it didn't help."
Nick was just staring at me tears in his eyes. Mine were all ready falling and I didn't bother to wipe them.
"My mom couldn't even look at me. My dad he could look at me but wouldn't touch me. No hug no kisses nothing. My mom cried everyt ime she saw first everything was okay then she stared drinking a lot. Soon my dad left. My mom and I had to move from here to a run down apartment in East LA. Some times Kira would come visit me. I was thirteen at the time. Then one night my mom finally talked to me she told me she loved me so much."
"Miley….."Nick whispered
I kept going."Then next morning she died form too much drinking. The it was hello to foster care. My dad didn't want me. So they had no choice but to put me in foster care."
'Miley.. I didn't know. I'm sorry."Nick said
"Don't be. I don't need any pity from anyone."
I got grounded so that's why it took me so long. Here it is and enjoy and remember five reviews or no chapter for awhile. Sorry everyone I was late to post. Nick now sees what Miley and hopefully he'll be nicer. Yeah right!
