(A/n) Thanks to all the reviewers last chapter and one esp. is Anni. I want to thank you for giving me that review because even though you didn't tell me how good my story is, you still helped me. You told me what I needed to fix when it came to writing and I am so grateful for that because every writer needs to know if there is a problem with their writing and how to fix it. Plus thank you terzo for sticking with my story all the way esp. when I was discouraged and xOhMyNickJ for the five reviews you gave for chapter five.
Miley's Pov
Everything was great for the next two weeks. Besides all the "death'' glares from Mr. Grey I felt really good. Ever since the night of the cemetery thing Nick and I get along, we have sort of a silent truce. As long as he doesn't cross my line I won't cross too much of his. We learned a lot about each other and I'm really hoping this lasts but then again how many times have I said that and something always happens?
"I can't believe you Nick!"I screamed at him.
It was a Saturday afternoon and we were the only ones home. I was sitting on his bed and he was sitting opposite of me.
"Well you're not any better then I am!"He yelled back
"So but still Nick I had no idea. You could've given me a little heads up."
"Well, every one of us has a side to ourselves that no one knows about."
"Fine. But who knew you were a sucker for Alanis Morissette?"I said laughing. (A/N U thought they were fighting for real didn't you?)
"Like I said you're not any better. Iron Maiden? AC/DC?"
We were looking through each others iPods due to our absolute boredom. It was too early to go to the cemetery which had sort of become our hangout spot. If we couldn't sleep, or just needed someone to talk to we went there. Which now that I think about it is kind of weird isn't it?
For the next few minutes we kept laughing at each others songs. It seemed to me that Nick had some freaky feminine side to him that he never let out. I mean come on. How many star basketball players do you know have Celine Dion's Because You Loved Me on their iPods?
"Hey Nick?"
"Hmmm?"He said looking up at me.
"Why do you play basketball if you don't like it? I mean you dread going to practice and you're the captain."
"(Sigh)Miley. My dad worked hard for me to get on the team and I've been on it since my sophomore year. I can't just quit."He said
"But why do something you hate?"
"Sometimes in life you just don't have a choice."He said going back to looking through my iPod. If he seriously thought I was going to let this conversation go then he hadn't learned anything about me these past weeks.
"That's not true you always have a choice. It's just that some people are too blind to see that they do." I said
"Miley can we just drop it please?" He said
And I did. I knew we would come back to this conversation soon but I didn't press him. But pretty soon another question came to mind.
"Nick? How does Selena feel about us hanging around like this?"
"What do you mean? She has nothing to worry about. We're just partners working on a project." Something in me just kind of stopped right then and there. We're just partners working on a project? Are you kidding me?
"So what you are trying to say is that we're not friends." I asked trying not to sound to harsh.
"Well, it was fun hanging out with you Miley but do you really think we could be friends? I mean the only reason why we're even talking is because we called a truce due to this project. Plus don't you think everyone will think it's weird that we're friends?"
Okay now I was in complete and utter shock. You have got to be kidding me.
"Actually I did think we could be friends. I mean we told each other secrets and everything .You even met my mom so of course I was thinking we could be friends!" I screamed.
I didn't even wait for a response. I grabbed my iPod from him and started walking towards the stairs and to the front door. I was almost there when I felt a hand on my shoulder and felt myself being turned around.
"Miles it didn't come out the way I intended. Look don't you think it would be worse for you if we were friends. I mean Selena would have a tantrum if she even knew we were hanging out!"
"Wait a minute. Worse for me or for you? Because sometimes Nick I just don't get you! One second you start caring and when you realize that you're coming out of your little messed up reality you go right back to jerk mode. Plus, what do you mean if Selena finds out? That could only mean you haven't told her."Once again I was screaming. Nick was really pissing me off now.
"Miles I want to be you friend I do. You're cool and pretty and you get half the stuff I'm saying that Selena would never get. But if anyone found out-"
"It would ruin you? Nick it was fun but now its whatever for me. I get it. Wait a minute did you just call me pretty?"I said astounded
"Huh? What?" He was turning red and stumbled for words."Miley look forget everything. I'll call Selena right now and we'll fix all of this."
"Fine."
He took out his phone and dialed Selena's number and then put her on speaker.
"Hello? Nicky?" I heard Selena say
"Oh hey babe. I kind of need to tell you something."
"Oh go ahead baby. Wait, aren't you at a meeting with your dad right now?"She asked
I looked up at Nick and gave him "really?" look. He shrugged his shoulders and went about with Selena.
"Yeah about that. I didn't go. Actually for the past two weeks I've been hanging with Miley we're working on a project together."
It was silent. For a second there I thought she hung up until I heard a laugh coming through the I ever mentioned how much I hate her laugh?
"You're kidding right Nick? I mean honestly she'll ruin your reputation not to mention mine. It's bad enough you're related to that freak show. Plus, I thought you hated her."
"Number one that freak show is my sister Demi. You better get that straight and Miley's cool and I guess I lied about hating her too."He said
It was quiet for a few seconds. Then the shock came through.
"Its okay honey. I understand." Selena said
"You do?"
She does?!?
"Of course Nicky." Selena said calmly "That psycho bitch you are living with is brainwashing you. So tonight I will come over and I'll remind you about everything. Don't worry baby it's not too late for you. Remember I love you and you love me. Bye."
Yeah, I really didn't think she could get slower than that. I mean seriously I really didn't.
"She's one of a kind isn't she?"I asked
"Yup."
"I figured because you definitely don't find her anywhere else."
"So now we're friends right?" Nick said smiling. He was totally ignoring everything I just said.
I laughed and started to walk away but he grabbed my hand pulled me close. Our lips were inches away from each other and the way he was holding my hand and looking at my eyes made it hard to breathe.
I knew I couldn't kiss him. He wasn't my man. He was Selena's, whether I liked it or not I just had to deal with it.
I backed up and even though I could breathe now, the hand holding was pretty distracting.
"Give me a chance. Please."Nick pleaded.
I sighed I had no idea what I was doing.
"Fine. One chance and this is the last time. You got that?"I said
"Okay. Thank you, you won't regret it. I promise." He said smiling.
"Whatever. Oh and Nick?"
"Yeah?"
"Let go of my hand."
Beautiful wasn't it? I also feel the need to thank all my reviewers and people who favorite me too because you guys have also been here from the start. This was a hilarious chapter for me. I mean the phone call with Selena was ridiculous. Tell me what you think. BTW the next chapter will be the music concert and there will be a surprise there too. Hopefully I remember to include it too. I think its time to put just a tad more jealousy into this story. Plus please tell me if I am moving too fast with this story.
