Miley's Pov
For some odd reason I was just so happy today. Today is the concert but my happiness seems to be more than that and I'm really not sure why. Whatever it is I hope it stays around.
"Hey Miles" Nick said coming up behind me. I couldn't help but smile as he used by nickname.
"Hey Nick."
Everyone had got a half day today since tonight was the concert. So instead of going home to Mr. Grey's death glares I decided to hang at school then go home later to change. I was kind of surprised though to see Nick at school.
"So are you ready for tonight?" He asked excitedly
"Yeah but are you?"
"Yup. I'm all ready."
"Good then I'll see you later Nick." I started walking away and I had only taken a few steps before Nick called my name.
"Hey Miley!"
I turned and found him with a big smile on his face just staring at me. "Yeah?"
"You look…. I don't know different. But it's a good kind of different."
I didn't know what to say back so I just smiled and kept on walking.

"So how are you and the Miley thing going?" Harper said coming up behind me.
Since we got a half day I decided to spend a couple of hours at the Urth café before I had to go see Nick perform with ugh her.
"Harper, how many times have I told you not to say her name around me?" I whined. Lately all I heard about was Miley and it didn't really help when I found out Nick's been hanging with her for the past three weeks.
"Well then too bad because you're going to have to hear it a few more times."
"And why is that?" I said eyeing Harper suspiciously
"Because I have a plan." She said gesturing to something outside.
I turned and look and was surprised to see that that something was really someone. A hot someone.
"Wait a minute isn't that one of Nick's teammates?"
"Yeah and he's going to help us." She said
"Oooh I'm starting to like this plan already, Harper! He is so hot. He will totally make Nick jealous."
"Wait a minute. He's for Miley not you." She said becoming angry "I thought you were just dying to get your Nicky back and now you're looking at another guy?"
"Harper, chill I'm allowed to look. Nick sure has." I said bitterly
"You truly don't know that. You think he is. Plus, Nick has always been faithful to you but then again you can't say the same thing .Can you?" Harper said coldly
Wow, you could definitely feel the tension. Harper looked steamed and me I was just pissed.
"Shut up Harper. It was one time. Are you going to help me or not because last time I checked what I do in my relationship has nothing to do with you."
Harper sighed. "You know what forget it. I try to help you and this is what I get?"
Before Harper could walk away I grabbed her arm and did the one thing I never ever do." Harper please I need you. Come on, I'll be nice I promise."
Harper snorted. "And how many times have I heard that before." She sighed. She then gestured to Nick's friend out side and he came in and sat at our table.
"Now all you have to do is convince him. He already knows your situation. He just wants Sel?"Harper explained
"Okay then" I said turning to him."How much are we talking here?"
"Hmmmmm. Well my girl Marissa" he said pointing across the street at a royal blue 1992 La Sabre "needs a tune up."So I'm thinking about maybe twenty."
"Dollars?!" I said brightening
"Thousand."
"Oh. You have got to be kidding me. That thing does not need to be fixed for twenty thousand dollars!"
"Hey she is not a thing. Plus, she has feelings so hush up. Take it or leave it sweetie."
"Fine and don't call me sweetie" I wrote down the check and handed it to him "Okay so your first mission is find Miley and then ask her out. Got it?"
"Yup."
"Good."

Several hours later
At the music concert
Backstage
Okay I really had to know that this so called happiness wasn't going to last. I mean come on with me these good things never last long. The idiot in which I call Nick is no where to be seen and we have to go on in about 5 minutes. This is just so fan-fucking-tastic.
"Hey Miley" I heard someone say and I turned hoping it would be Nick but to my bad luck it wasn't him.
"Hey Jake whats up?"
Jake Ryan was just one of Nick's teammates. I always saw him in the halls and even in some of my classes but I never really said much to him. He would say stuff to me though. He would always say hi or whats up and help me with my books but other than that the most I knew about him was that he loved his car. I mean seriously loved his car.
"And now I am proud to introduce Miley Stewart and Nick Grey!"
"Oh Dear Lord."
"Miley are you okay?" Jake asked
"I gotta go"
I walked out on stage and tried to think of what I should do. Suddenly the lights seemed to be blinding and the audience seemed to double.
"Uh so how y'all doing out there?" I asked the audience
I heard a few mumbled goods and fines. Wow even the audience felt better than me.
"Well um I'm doing just peachy." I said sarcastically. Hopefully the audience wouldn't catch that.
"Are you going to sing or what?!?" One of the basketball players yelled
Now I was really panicking. I was scared. Would I have to sing Nick's part as well as mine?
"Of course she's going to sing!" Someone yelled behind me. I turned and there was Liam walking up to me. Liam was another guy in school I knew who I could actually say I was good friends with. He didn't know me like Nick did but he was still a nice guy. But I had absolutely no idea why he was up here with me.
"What are you doing here?" I whispered.
"I have no idea but I think I'm helping you."
"Oh well then thanks but how is this helping?" I asked
"Well I'm encouraging you to sing before these people throw their programs at us. Plus I couldn't let you go at this alone."
"I wasn't supposed to be alone."
"I know. Come on just sing."
Liam smiled and I took a deep breath and began strumming and singing. I was still worried about what to do when Nick's part came but I was really having fun. It wasn't like being on the streets playing on the concrete for whoever walks by. This was me singing for the people I know and I guess love.
Right when I was about to sing Nick's part he finally decided to grace me with his presence.

After the performance
Miley hasn't talked to me since we got off the stage. She immediately went into the open arms of my mom, Demi, and Joe.
"Oh sweetie I'm so proud of you!" my mom gushed
I was about ten minutes late so I had no idea what Miley did to stall but she must've done good because a lot of people were coming up to her and congratulating her.
Weirdly enough even Jake was there talking to her. They were off to the side a bit talking and Miley was smiling.
I being the little snoop that I am was curious. I walked over and heard a little of their conversation.
"So will you go?" Jake said
"You know what why not? You seem sweet and I'd love to go on a date with you."
Then Jake noticed me standing by.
"Hey nick!" Jake said completely oblivious to my shock. Sadly Miley had gotten to know me well and she knew I had been eavesdropping.
"Hi Nick." Miley said coldly
"Well, I'll let you two talk." Jake waved at me and gave Miley a little kiss on the cheek causing her to blush. Oh come on how can she fall for that bull?
"Eavesdropping Nicholas?"
"What the hell are you doing going on a date with Jake?"
"What the hell are you doing leaving me on the stage to make a fool of myself?"
I ignored her and continued my rampage.
"That's not the point. You can't go out with Jake."
"And why not?"\
"Because he's not good for you!"
"And who is?"
I fought the urge to say me so badly.
"Nick I'm a big girl now. You don't have to protect me. I've been on my own before."
She took one last look at me and sighed. I knew I had let her down. But I wouldn't let her go.
"Miley……" Without any hesitation I pulled her into a kiss. At first she wouldn't kiss back but when she did it was magic. Her lips were soft and beautiful.
"I-I can't do this." And she walked away.
Okay sorry for the late chapter. This is seriously not my best chapter but it is an important one indeed. Nick technically kissed another girl (Miley) behind Selena's back. Which mean trouble for the future. Be honest and tell me what you think.
