The next morning, I found myself lying on the couch. The sink turned off, I sat up and saw Kevin walk to me.
He handed me a glass of water and some Advil, "what happened to me?" I asked.
Kevin sat next to me, "well, you came to my apartment and told me you would like some waffles and hot chocolate. I realized you were drunk, so I brought you back home."
I groaned, "I feel like shit."
"You look like it to."
"Thanks." I said sarcastically.
"Oh, and did I mention? You went over to miley's and punched Liam in the face."
My eyes widened, "I did what?"
"You heard me."
"Shit! I have to go talk to Miley!" I stood up then hurried and sat down as my head pounded. "Damn my head hurts."
Kevin looked at me, "serves you right. Nick, I understand your mad about Miley and all, but god! Do you have to be such an ass hole?"
"Me? An ass hole? I held it in for 13 years! You think I'm an ass hole? Ok so I was stupid for one night! But you can't blame me! I watched her date guy after guy; do you know how that felt? And when she said she was engaged! Damnit! I could feel my heart tear apart! That moment I knew I'd never be with her! So ok, I punched that ass in the face, but come on! Kevin! I love her for god sakes!" a lump grew in my throat but I swallowed it down.
Kevin looked at me and sighed, "Your right, I'm sorry..."
"It's ok... But man, I have to go say sorry."
"You think she'll talk to you?"
I shook my head, "no... But I have to try."
I walked up to miley's door, I slowly knocked. I heard someone pause the TV and walk to the door. But no one answered, but I could see a shadow under the door, so I knew she stood there.
I sighed, "I understand I'm the last person you want to see, and I promise I'll leave... But just hear me out. Miley, remember when we were kids? And, we used to always say that we'd never ever! Stop being best friends? Well, I meant it. And once I started to feel the way I did for you, I knew that I wasn't going to ever let that get in the way of our friendship. Though you now know how I feel, doesn't mean we need to give up everything! All those late nights on the phone, the laughs we shared over who could burp the loudest after chugging down a whole liter of coke, every tear you shed after your dad died, and even before he died. Miley, just because I might love you... Doesn't mean that this friendship was a waste and you have to throw it all away. I understand that you'll never love me again, and that Liams all you'll ever want... But I just want you to know that, our friendship means so much more to me than anything else. You're my best friend Miley... Always will... That's all, I'll leave now." I stood there, hoping she might answer the door, but nothing happened. I sighed, knowing that that was all I would ever be able to do.
As I walked back to the car, I felt tears fall from my eyes, I quickly wiped them away. I stared back up at her apartment, then left. There was nothing I could do to change her mind, next week shed be married and off to her honeymoon. I had always known that I'd never be with her, I just didn't know it would hurt this bad.
