Selena's POV

I sat there on my bathroom floor staring at absolutely nothing at all. I knew what was wrong but I couldn't think about it. I didn't want to think about it. I was losing for real this time. As I played over all the events in my mind I realized just how insane and fucked up my life was. The events that passed recently are haunting me and I feel claustrophobic.

I brought my knees to my chest trying to slow my breathing but pretty soon I couldn't take it. I screamed. I screamed and screamed and soon I found myself crying. I, Selena Russo, never cry, whether it's in public or private. So what was wrong with me now? Is it the recent rejection?

I get up from the floor and thank God that my parents have yet to come home so for now I am alone. I grab two sleeping pills and pop them and head to my bed. It's completely dark in my room but yet I'm not scared and I surprisingly find my way to my bed easily. I get in and before I let the sleep take over I reply the last two hours in my head for what seemed like the millionth time.

Flashback

We were seriously getting heated and we had made it upstairs and were going for the bedroom. His fingers were slightly touching the hem of my tank top while mine were in his hair. Our lips never parted. It still hadn't sunk yet for either of us and I started to realize that he was way drunk than I had realized. We were stumbling over and there was no doubt that I would have bruises tomorrow. By now it was around 9:45 so we had plenty of time.

It wasn't until Nick's lips parted from mine that I realized we weren't getting anywhere tonight.

"No." he whispered. He was on the floor now and I was on the bed fully clothed. His head shaking in his hands as he whispered to himself.

I was scared. I had never seen him like this. Nick Grey was having a meltdown. And I had no idea how to respond to it.

I just sat there as he yelled and screamed things at no one in particular. That's when he turned to me.

"Why do you hate her? Huh? Answer me."

I could barely make out his face in the darkness but I knew it was close because the alcohol smell was strong again.

"Nick, you're drunk right now. Baby a lot of things don't make sense right now so you just need to sit and calm-"

"Don't you dare tell me to calm down. Answer my question."

I knew I wasn't going to win and I had to answer because I had seen Nick really mad when he's sober and I didn't want to see how bad his temper could get when he was drunk.

"She got the one thing I ever wanted. The one thing that I worked for and put everything into. She took it without even trying."

"You did all this just because you think you're playing some twisted game?"

"Look it wasn't supposed to get this far Nick."

"That's not the fucking point!" He said grabbing me. Our faces were now so close together that if I moved a few inches closer my lips would immediately meet his. But this was not in any way a comfortable position.

"You're hurting me. Nick, baby stop."

"Selena you stop. For once get out of your reality. Life isn't a game where you just snap your fingers and turn it off when you don't like what is happening."

He kept talking and all I could think about is the past five months. How I went to queen bee to this. Did I really go this far for Nick? Stupid question and the answer is yes I did. I felt the grip on my wrists loosen and it snapped me back into reality. Nick was now on the other side pacing and I could find no words to even say.

It was so quiet all you could hear was the wind blowing and rain viciously falling from the sky.

"How did it get like this? How did we get like this Selena?" He asked me.

I looked into his eyes and as I got closer all I could see was Nick's ten year old eyes pleading with mine. Instead of hiding my tears I let some fall.

"I don't know Nick. I really don't and if I knew I would tell you. But I love you I know that much."

He sighed and headed for the door.

"Bullshit."

He turned the knob and I reached for him desperately hoping he would stay. Instead he turned and looked at me.

"You were right."

"What?" I said confused.

"You said I would come back to you. The only thing is that this time I didn't stay long." He whispered.

"So what does this even mean?"

"I loved you. That's the problem and that's what this means. I loved you but I love Miley more. Selena we were never going to get married and live happily ever after there's no such thing."

"So what you think you can achieve happily ever after with her? She's more fucked up then I am." I said bitterly

"You don't listen, Selena. I said there's no such thing as that. But with Miley I can come close. No matter how fucked up our lives get her love for me and my love for her never seem to change. And Selena unlike you my love isn't a game."

And with that he left and I locked myself in the bathroom.

End of Flashback

I failed. It's as simple as that.

Nick's POV

I was still drunk but I still had to get back to Miley. I got out of Selena's house as fast as I could. She's probably fuming with anger right now. I did leave her shouting my name in the middle of a storm and not once had I bothered to stop.

All I could think about was how I had to sober myself up as fast as I could and I had to make sure I drove slowly. I was drunk and I didn't want to hurt anyone on my way to Miley. It was all going fine until I got closer to Kevin's house and there were police cars everywhere.

The storm had died down but not much. I could see two police cars and an ambulance and a big crowd of people. You know that feeling where you know something is wrong but you don't have the heart to admit it? Well, that was me as I got out of my car. I pushed my way through the crowd just in time to watch an unconscious Miley being put into an ambulance and a hysterical Demi sobbing into Joe' s arms.

I ran to them but everything felt as if it were going into slow motion. Off to the side I could see Kevin and Danielle talking to an officer.

"What's going on?"

Silence. No word from them only Demi's cries and murmurs from the crowd around us.

"Stupid…..heartless bastard…practically left her to die."

I looked to Demi and then to Joe knowing that they had heard what the people were saying.

"Is it true?"I asked. My voice was barely audible so it was a miracle Joe heard me.

"Where the hell where you? We've been calling for over an hour!" He spat

"I was busy. I had to take care of some business. Is Miley going to be okay?"

"We don't know. The neighbors saw her get hit by a car but the person who did it got away."

"God." Was all I could say.

One thing most don't know is that I'm pretty religious. I believe in God even though there are millions of times where I don't show it. So as I slid to the floor in agony over Miley getting hit.I prayed to God for the first time in forever.

I asked him to save me. From what I wasn't so sure. I wanted him to help me keep my sanity. I wanted him to help me and my family. But most importantly save Miley.

This could've been prevented. God, are you fucking testing me?

Mystery POV

Every time I heard a siren that night I felt my heart jump a little. I tried to get into my work a little more. Sign some checks, cancel orders, and schedule appointments nothing worked. So I went to the garage to look at the car. There was still no electricity and it felt lonely with everyone gone. I got a flashlight and sureyed the damage from hitting her. There was a large dent from what I could tell and I needed it fixed. Hopefully no one could identify the car due to the storm. Hopefully no one saw anything at all.

Demi's POV

I think this was my fault. Somehow it was. She was probably in the street trying to find a way to get to the mall or something. She was in that street because of me and now she's fighting for her life. How could I be so stupid?

We were all at the hospital now. Joe was sitting next to me holding my hand while Kevin and Danielle waited anxiously by the nurse's station. Nick was losing it. Literally he hasn't said a word since he found out about Miley. Somehow he blames himself for this but I don't get why. He never told us where he was but I guessed that maybe we couldn't reach him because of the storm or maybe because he was finally having that much needed conversation with dad.

It doesn't even matter where he was he doesn't have anything to do with this happening. It was all me. I should've checked the weather. Or maybe I shouldn't have tried to pressure her into going in the first place.

"Don't blame yourself, Demi." Joe said squeezing my hand.

I looked up at him and stared straight into his brown eyes. All night he's been by my side comforting me. It's like all my life he's been too good to me and I have no idea why. I'm blessed to have him though that I can tell you.

"I can't help it. Knowing that she wouldn't have been hit if it weren't for me tears me apart." I said starting to cry again.

This time it was Nick with the comforting words. "Don't blame yourself. You don't know the reason Miley was outside. There could've been a number of reasons. When Miley wakes up we'll know everything."

"But Nick, I'm the one who made plans with her tonight. I'm the one she was going to see. "

"There could've been someone else there. You never know. "He said sitting back down. "You just never know."

I guess you really don't know. All the answers will be answered when Miley wakes up. Hopefully she wakes up.

Joe's POV

I'm not leaving Demi alone tonight. She blames herself for all this but there's nothing in this world that makes me think Miley was in the street because of Demi. Miley wouldn't just go off into the street just for a trip to the mall someone or something got her there and it wasn't Demi.

Nick looks horrified that any of this even happened. He still hasn't said where he was tonight but at the moment I could care less. I needed to be strong for them.

"Family for Ms. Stewart?" a nurse said.

"Yes, over here." Kevin said.

We all gathered around the nurse to hear what she had to say.

"Miley got really lucky. She only has a broken leg and a fractured spine but she should be able to walk in no time at all. Unfortunately her brain has the most complications of all. She suffered a slight brain hemorrhage and has been in and out of consciousness and she keeps mumbling random words. The only thing we can understand is the name Nick."

Immediately all eyes were on Nick and Nick's eyes were locked on the floor.

Nick's POV

I was the last person Miley saw before she got hit. I doubt she even saw the car that hit her. But I know this is all my fault and no one but me and her knows that. I should've stopped. She was on the street because she cared for me and she was scared for me.

I know I should tell them the real reason for all this happening but I can't stand disappointing them again. Knowing that my name is all Miley can say right now makes me feel like shit. What if she had tonight? What if I went farther with Selena rather than just kissing her? This was all to messed up and it seemed like this belonged in a stupid teen movie rather than my life.

Instead of meeting everyone's eyes I stared at the floor in shame. I needed to see her just to know she's okay.

"Can I go see her? Please?" I said.

"Sure." The nurse said giving me a sad smile.

I honestly wish this chapter was a bit better but I've put it off for so long that I just made it a filler chapter. This story will probably end at 25 chapters. I have to start revealing the secrets. Plus there's been a couple of changes in the story ending. Yes, it's still a Niley ending but I have to change some stuff. Sorry for putting this off. School is hectic and girls are mean.
