Nick's POV

"I am really starting to think my dad does not want to be found." Miley said coming into my room.

I looked up from my computer and stared at her. "Why?"

"Hmmm let me see, maybe it's the fact that it's been almost a week and we still haven't found him yet."

"So? There are hundreds of Robert Stewarts out there. But only three in Malibu."

She looked up at me and smiled. "You found some here in Malibu?"

I got up and nestled down into my bed next to her and showed her the list of their addresses. The funny thing is Malibu was the last place I'd ever expect him to be. This is the main reason why I checked Malibu last.

"Oh Nick thank you thank you thank you!"She jumped up and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

I blushed. This was our first kiss in a week. That's when it hit me that she's still going out with Jake. They've been out everyday this week and I don't know where Jake works at the moment all I know is it that they have some pretty good pay. His car has been looking better each day.

I really didn't care for Jake right now. This might be one of the only chances where I can still hold her and not have anyone know about it. So I blocked out all my Jake thoughts and focused on Miley's excitement.

Next Day

School

"Is it me or is there something majorly wrong with the world right now?" Demi said opening her locker right next to mine.

"Are we talking about that oil spill?"

"Nope. Selena." She said looking through the halls for her.

"Okay. What are you talking about? You look really suspicious and you're kind of making me nervous." I said wondering what the hell she was talking about.

"When was the last time Selena has talked either one of us? I mean she lives for revenge and torture and all of a sudden she backs off? C'mon you have to see that something's afoot."

I actually started to realize what she was talking about. Selena hasn't said nor done one mean thing in a week. Or at least that we've known of.

I feel myself start to panic. My eyes meet Demi's eyes and we share the same look. Something is going on we just don't know what it is yet. Before I could say a thing Selena walks toward our lockers.

"Hey girls what's up?" She said happily

"Um." I managed to say before she cut me off

"Oh my god!" We both literally jumped like we were under attack "Demi where did you get that t-shirt? It's way too cute!"

"Um the flea market?" Demi answered hesitantly

"Well it's really nice. I really want one."

"Since when where you into the emo look?" I asked

"It's always good to try something new." She said smiling "Well I have to go. Tootles!"

We waited a minute before we could actually get over our shock.

"Was she?" Demi asked barely finishing her question.

"Yeah" I answered still getting over the shock

"Do you think?"

"Yup."

"I feel majorly paranoid."

"You aren't the only one."

"I think its snooping time." Demi said

"Most definitely it is."

Selena's POV

They must honestly think I'm stupid. I mean they fell for the act like it was nothing. I'm a better actress than I thought.

"Hey Selena" Harper said. We were at cheer practice watching the boys get ready for their next game which was actually tomorrow. I had no doubt in my mind that Nicky was going to lead them to victory because he pretty much always does.

"Hey Harper."

"So are you still plotting against Miley? Or have you come to your senses that maybe she's not trying to steal your man?"

I glared at Harper. I really wouldn't call what I'm doing plotting I'm just protecting what's rightfully mine.

"I'm going to take that as a yes Harper that's exactly what I'm doing." She said

I ignored her and continued watching Nick practice since there was only five minutes left of it anyway.

"You're really kidding yourself you know that right? What are you really fighting for? The first day you saw Miley she was just the welfare baby, the one who didn't belong and all of a sudden she's like the focus of your world." Harper said refusing to back down

"Harper I'm fighting for a reason. Nick lied to me. He told me he hated her and then I have to find out that he's been spending his free time with her and suddenly their best friends? What am I supposed to do let her take everything I worked for away?"

"No Selena but you don't have to pay someone to be with her! " Harper said starting to walk away "By the way how many times have you lied to Nick saying you're with me or at practice when you're really with some guy? Maybe it is time for Nick to get someone new, someone better."

The coach blew his whistle signaling that the boys' practice was over. I watched as Jake and Nick went in to their lockers and change. I was not a bad person. This is not a Hallmark movie and I will get my way.

Nick's POV

Practice was brutal. Coach made us run laps over and over and making sure we were ready for the game tomorrow. Everyone was pumped, everyone except me.

It seemed that everywhere I go that's where Jake and Miley were. In the lunch room sitting with Demi, in the hallway walking hand in hand, even in my algebra class and I didn't even know Jake took algebra! It really didn't help either that his gym locker was right next to mine.

"Hey Jake! Your car's been looking nice lately." David said

"I know right it seems like everyday your car looks better."Lucas added curiously

"Well you know me. I got the hookups." Jake said gloating

"Speaking of hookups how's you and that girl. The one you've been out with every night this week?" Troy said coming out of the shower.

"Oh yeah the girl Nick's mom took in. Miley right?" David questioned

I felt my body stiffened as I waited to see where this conversation went.

"Well I don't like to brag but me and Miley we may be doing a little something something." The jackass bragged

The guys erupted with laughs and questions for Jake.

"Is that why your car's looking so fresh?"Lucas asked.

"That can't 't her parents like dead or something? Didn't Selena say her mom was a drunk? For real though Jake where are you getting this money?" Troy asked

"Just because Miley's not paying doesn't mean someone isn't. You really think I would be going out with her for free?"

I don't even remember jumping on top of that asshole all I remember is beating the shit out of him. It took a good five minutes before I heard the Coach's whistle and even then I didn't get off.

"Grey! Grey! Get the hell off him now!"

I felt myself being pulled off him and I didn't even struggle. Now I just wanted to know one thing.

"Who?" I spat at Jake "Who fucking paid you?"

Jake wasn't unconscious but pretty soon he would be. Blood was pouring down his nose continuously and he had a pretty mean black eye. There was no way he could play tomorrow and I already knew the rules so I wouldn't be playing either.

"S-sel-eenna" He managed to spit out.

"I expected more from you Grey." Coach said

"Yeah yeah yeah. So does everyone else." I answered back

By then Troy and Lucas let go of me and I just walked out. I didn't even bother to say anything else I just walked out knowing I had two people to talk to.

It wasn't too hard to find one of them because I knew where she would be.

"SELENA!" She literally jumped when she heard me calling her name but she didn't run. She stayed put.

"Hey baby. Wh-whats wrong?" She acted so damn innocent. This time that shit didn't work on me.

"You know damn straight what's wrong. You paid Jake of all people to go out with Miley? Why?"

"How did you know and why are you covered with blood?"

I ignored her question and she knew exactly what I was doing so she went on to answer.

"She doesn't belong in our world! Don't you get that? Everything was fine before she showed up and now all you do is think and want Miley. So what did you expect me to do? Wait here so she can take my man? Oh hell no."

"Are you kidding me? I-I don't like Miley." I said lying through my teeth.

Selena smiled. "I know you don't like her. You love her."

"Exactly."

"So do it." Selena said coldly

"Do what?"

"Break up with me. We all know that's what you want. There is one thing you should know. When you don't get all you want from her you'll beg for me back. Don't worry because I'll be right here waiting."

"Whatever Selena. All I want is her love."

"Fine, but what happens when that's not enough? You'll be back don't you worry that curly little head of yours."

"Have a nice life Selena."

"Oh I will. Good luck with yours."

She walked away and then I set off to find Miley. I knew she would be in the library because that's where she waits for me to pick her up after practice. I ran in there and practically ran over the librarian.

"Miley!" I yelled when I spotted her. She looked up and ran to me when she noticed the blood.

"Nick what the hell?"

"I love you." I said simply

"Nick what happened?" She asked oblivious to my statement.

I pulled her face into my hands and stared into her beautiful blue eyes.

"I love you. And only you. You're perfect. I don't care if you live with me nor have no parents because it doesn't matter. I'm done with my fucked up reality because now you're my reality. Please Miley just give me a chance. Please."

""What about Jake and Selena?"

"Already taken care of."

She was silent for awhile. Then before I knew it her arms were around me and lips were pressed hard against mine.

"I love-"

"Shut up and just kiss me." She said smiling.

Out of nowhere we heard applause. When we looked up the whole library was clapping for us. As I scanned through the audience I saw Demi and Joe giving me thumbs up. Then I noticed Selena.

'You'll be back' she mouthed before walking away.

'I sure won't be' I thought to myself.

Okay so how long have you readers been waiting for this? I know forever. So this is NOT the ending of the story because there is still more drama and we all know Mr. Grey is so not going to be happy about this. Do you guys think that Nick will go back to Selena? Write your answers in a review and tell me what you honestly think about this chapter. Once again I would love to thank all the reviewers, the people who favorite my stories, the one's who put me on their alerts and stuff like that. Thank you so much.
