I want to drink, a lot

Nick and I drove to my house so I could change clothes. I took a shower and walked out to Nick, who was sitting on my couch watching baseball. He gave me a strange look, it was then I realized I was wearing nothing but a towel.

"Sorry, I'll get dressed." I blushed and ran back into my room. I came back out the living room, again, but this time completely dressed. I was wearing a white tank top with a navy blue high wasted skirt. I paired it with nude heels and a gold necklace. I felt pretty and I saw the way Nick was watching me. He thought I looked good too. "So are we going to this bar or what?" I asked putting my hand out. It was met with his hand and we walked outside, together.

The car ride to the local bar he loved was, silent. Finally he spoke. "Does anyone else know?" He didn't look at me.

"Nope, just you and I."

"Are you going to?" I shook my head. "Why? You're just going to break their hearts when you-, um you know, d- die." He pulled into a parking spot and just sat there.

"Nick, talk to me."

"How could you do this to me? You must have known more than a few days ago you were sick. You're my best friend and your leaving me. Your leaving me all on my own." He refused to look at me.

"Nick I'm sorry. Please don't be mad at me now." He didn't look at me, he just opened the car door and left me sitting in his car, alone. I got out of the car and walked into the busy bar. I found a table to sit while I tried to find Nick.

"I got a gin and tonic and a vodka and soda. Which one do you want?"

"The vodka one." I smiled while taking my first sip. It tasted a little like a soda someone poisoned, but it was good. It was a nice burn.

"Here's to number one" he raised his glass to mine and drank down the cool liquid. "I'm uh, sorry. It's none of my business what you do with the rest of your life."

"Thanks Nick. For everything." We drank and refilled our glasses, then drank again. "Can I stay with you? I don't really want to go home." I asked hoping for a yes. He nodded and we hopped in his car.

Around 11:45 I was ready for bed. He told me I could sleep in his bed, but I said that wasn't necessary. Yet still he fell asleep on his old couch. He was such a sweetheart .

The next morning I woke up, with the worst headache in my entire life, to Nick. He had a glass of water and 2 pills, which he said were aspirin for the hangover. I put my hand on my head right around where my temple was and rubbed, hoping it would help. It didn't.

"What do you want to do today?"

"I want to spend 100 dollars at the movies ." I smiled. "You, me, Demi, Selena and every movie being played."

"It's a date" He went into his closet and grabbed a plaid shirt and jeans, I on the other hand had to wear his clothes to. I wore a pair of his jeans one of his plain grey t-shirts, then I wore a plaid button down on top. At first ever thing looked baggy and loose, so I grabbed the best I wore last night and placed it right at my belly button, giving me a nice shape. "Wow you look- amazing!" I blushed a little. He was so sweet, more than usual. I wonder if he's being so nice and sweet because of the whole "dying" thing. That's exactly what I don't want. I don't want sympathy, especially from Nick.

"you look pretty amazing yourself. Let's go we are about to spend a whole lot of time on our butts" I grabbed my purse, two more aspirins, and his hand. We walked out the door and on our way to the movie theater, but on the way picking up Demi and Selena. We picked out the first movie and sat in our ugly seats with a popcorn and drink in hand. "To the rest of my life."I raised my drink up for a cheers, but all I got were confused looks from my two other friends. I felt Nicks hand on my shoulder, I turned around to face him.

"Tell them Mi. You have to."

"First I want you to know I love you guys so much. Like REALLY love you guy," I took a deep breath and finished my sentence. "but I was told yesterday that I only have a month to live. The whole cancer thing spread faster than they thought and it's inoperable." I watched them exchange looks of horror.

"Miley are you kidding?" Demi said, I turned around to Nick.

"Yeah guys this isn't a joke." Nick said. I'm glad he did because I didn't want to. They finally hugging me so we could watch the movie. Halfway through I leaned over and whispered to Nick.

"in my heaven I will have a movie theater that constantly plays my favorite oldies." My eyes were glued on the screen. "All the time."

"My heaven will have only one thing." He set his hand on mine. "You." I looked at him, he looked at me. His eyes burned into my head making me melt. He grabbed my chin gently and raised it towards him.

"Mi I don't get this part." I heard Selena whine. Of course right as I was about to kiss him.

"I- I'm sorry." He looked away from me.

"Don't be." We looked at each other, my eyes focused on his lips, his eyes on the other hand focused on my eyes. I couldn't help myself, I leaned in again and our lips connected. We kissed until Selena poked me in the back and giggled. I couldn't help but smile.

Maybe falling in love won't be as hard as I thought.
