Last chapter everyone. Thanks for reading!

Miley's POV

After visiting my dad I knew that there was one last person I needed to talk to. I knew this person didn't want anything to do with me but he owed me. I walked to Nick's house almost in a trance. I knew what I was doing was not what most people would do but it was I knew was right in my heart.

I never had a key to the house but when I got there I simply turned the knob and found it unlocked. I knew the way to his office and without knocking I just entered and sat down.

It was like he expected me almost. He didn't look up at me when I came in but I had a feeling he knew it was me.

"So I'm guessing you have reached a decision?" He asked me after I sat down.

I didn't say a thing. I was too busy just looking at him. He looked exhausted. Maybe not physically but emotionally. He'd lost weight and he had bags under his eyes and his skin was pasty. If I were to reach out and touch him he might break.

"You've messed with a lot of people." I said simply.

He looked at me and I mean really looked at me. Our eyes met and to tell you the truth I think he was seeing me for the first time.

"A lot of people probably want to see you rot in hell. I should be one of those people."

"What are you trying to say?" He whispered.

"I'm trying to say that you did me wrong. But at the same time a lot of people did me wrong. I should want revenge and I should be at the police station telling them everything."

"Then why aren't you there Miley? Why haven't you done anything? You have your chance to ruin me why haven't you?"He yelled.

"Because I am not that kind of person. Yeah, I have learned the hard way that life just isn't fair but you've just started learning it. I don't want you to sit in jail. I want you to be able to live every single day out in the open knowing what you did. In jail, you wouldn't have to face those people you've hurt but out here you can see them everywhere. In pictures, maybe in newspapers, hell, maybe they'll even be on TV one day. "

He looked at me in shock. He couldn't believe that I really wasn't going to tell. Why should I? I survived my whole family breaking apart in less than a year, I survived living on the streets and with foster families, and I even survived a hit and run and I'm going to keep living until the day my time is over and then I gladly step down and let someone else take my place.

"So this is your revenge?" He asked.

"Yup. Don't you think I know it's slowly killing you? You have nothing but your money left. How long do you think Denise is going to stay? She has to have a breaking point. I don't necessarily wish you wrong Mr. Grey but I can't say I wish you well."

"You proved me wrong." He whispered.

"I'm not just some kid off the street. I know who I am and hell yeah I most definitely know where I'm going."

He sat there quietly. His face was getting dimmer and dimmer by the minute. He was starting to consider all that I have said. I had only one more thing to really say.

"Thank you." I said getting up.

He looked at me in disbelief.

"For what?"

"For helping me get to Italy and for helping me realize who I am."

And with that I walked quietly out of the house but not without setting down a card I had bought for Denise on the coffee table. In a way I was grateful to her because without her I wouldn't have been here in the first place.

Graduation Day

Miley's POV

Is it really possible that high school is over? How can it be when I feel like my life has truly just begun? I stare at Demi and Nick who are a few spots in front of me. As I look around the auditorium I realize just how connected all of us are. So many things are connected yet so different. How I got through this year is still a mystery to me.

"Austin Conan Garrison…..Lynnette Marie Graver…..Demetria Devonne Grey….."

Our principal pauses as I and they rest of the Grey's scream at the top of our lungs.

"Nicholas Jerry Grey…."

We scream even more and before Nick takes his diploma he scans the line for me and smiles when he sees me looking at him.

He takes his diploma and walks off stage. Twenty minutes later it's my turn.

"Jenson Stark…Tia Star….Miley Rae Stewart"

And shockingly I heard all of them cheering for me. I never thought I would graduate high school. Even though school was always my thing I never thought that with all the drama that I would make it and yet I did.

Graduation Night

As seniors you would that we would be all over town just doing what you see those seniors do on all those movies and TV shows but guess what? We went to the beach, just the three of us. It seemed like the one place we could get away for awhile. Sure, we had been invited to parties but really we didn't care. It was like it was just the three of us against the world.

Demi's POV

The beach is one of the most beautiful things at night in my opinion. It was the perfect idea to come here and I was surprised when Nick suggested it. I don't feel angry anymore. To tell you the truth I'm not sure what to feel so I'm letting myself feel whatever. Let me tell you whatever is amazing. I feel warm inside deep down inside me I know everything is okay even though at the moment it may not seem like it.

I've decided to forgive Joe. I'm not even that mad at anyone anymore. Sure I wish it had happened differently but if it did I wouldn't have learned so many things about life and what it to come. Plus, its better that this is revealed now than when I'm 24 and doing who knows what. Right now we're in this silence as we sit staring into the ocean. It's a good kind of silence. It's like we don't have to say a thing because we already know what each other is thinking.

High school's over and our lives are going to keep going even if we want them to end and we're okay with that. We have each other and there's nothing that we'd want to be more than that.

Nick's POV

Amazing. That's all I can describe what life is now. Yeah tomorrow I might feel like shit and want to stay in bed but I'm going to enjoy this tonight. I don't know why but I felt the beach was the perfect place to spend graduation night. It was weird that I didn't want to go to a party but since Demi and Miley are leaving soon I couldn't imagine spending tonight with a bunch of obnoxious people who probably don't really care if their ever going to see you again.

I feel like if I really try Miley and I could stay together. Too early for marriage but really I think we could be even better once we hit New York.

"I love you." I whisper in her ear.

I can see her smile so brightly in the dark.

"I love you too." She says without hesitation.

After all that how can she still love me? It a question I have yet to ask but hopefully one day I will. And as if she was physic she answered my question.

"Because even though you can piss me off in more ways than one I wouldn't want you any other way because that's what makes you Nick Grey. You too, Demi. I love you both and I can't wait for New York."

"Aww thanks Miley. But hey we still have Italy and Nick can visit once in a while."

"Yeah, our adventures will never be put on hold. It's a never ending story." I added.

"Yeah, I swear with all this drama we should write a book and I bet it would be a best seller." Demi joked.

Miley laughed and as we sat there in our robes on the sand we continued to laugh about all the trials we have faced and how we have so much more to come.

Days Later

Airport.

Miley's POV

And there we go. This part of my life ends and a new one starts. The day is here and it's time to leave. Kevin and Dani came with us to the airport. Our plane was to board in a few minutes so it was time to say a few last words. I hugged a crying Dani and hugged Kevin but saved my last goodbye for Nick.

"I see you later?" He asked as I stood smiling in front of him.

"Of course would you have it any other way?" I said jokingly

"Never in a million years."

He wrapped his arms around and kissed me slowly as if to savor this moment.

"Wait for me?" He whispered in my ear.

"Always. As long as you wait for me." I whispered back.

"Always."

Demi's POV

After saying goodbye to Kevin and Joe and Nick I had one last person to say my goodbyes too. He was standing there awkwardly like he didn't know what to do or say. So I kissed him on the cheek.

"Thank you so much for loving me." I whispered in his ear.

He finally relaxed and wrapped his arms around me and we stayed like that.

"Don't you know my love for you can only grow more and more?" He whispered back.

I smiled. "I'll see you again."

"Of course you will Demi. This isn't goodbye it's more of a see you later."

"Yeah, I thought so." I laughed.

It was time to go and he took one last look at me and kissed my cheek. "I'll always be here for you. See you later."

"I know. See you later Joe."

And with that Miley said goodbye to Joe and she took my hand and we headed off.

Miley's POV

I guess life isn't fair but it's not easy for a reason. Life is supposed to challenge you and you really are what you experience. Sure Nick and I are pretty weird but hey if we weren't we would never become who we are now. Just like Demi. She's been in such a dark tunnel for so long that now she can see the light and she's enjoying it. I know life isn't going to be easy just because I'm leaving this town behind. But now I really do know who I am and I'm so okay with it. I hope my mom and my siblings are looking down on me and are so proud of I feel like Nick will be okay too. I trust him and we're stronger than ever. I used to wonder if he knew how much I loved him but now I'm pretty damn sure. And I know he loves me too.

This part is over but next one has just begun.
