I made my way down to the kitchen, thoroughly confused. I just sat at the counter and stared at the wall across from me. A couple minutes later, Joe came into the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water, refusing to look at me the whole while. Why was Joe acting so weird lately anyways? He was worse than a girl PMSing with his mood swings towards me lately. We sat there in the kitchen in silence for a good hour, neither of us speaking. I couldn't even begin to imagine what sort of things could be running through Joe's mind in that time. He just stared down at the now empty glass in his hand and never said a word. My mind however, was racing. I won't lie, I am ashamed to say that while half my thoughts were on why Selena had been crying, my other half were on why Miley had started crying when she saw Selena and where she had disappeared to.

Just when I thought I couldn't take the silence and the wondering any more, Miley stepped into the room and said softly, looking at the ground the whole time, "Sel woke up." Joe instantly seemed to come alive and he looked up from the cup and started to make his way out of the room, but Miley stopped him, putting a hand on his arm. "She asked for Nick," she said, giving Joe a reassuring look before both of them turned to look at me. Quickly, I jumped up from my chair and ran up the stairs into Joe's room.

Selena looked so small and fragile sitting in that bed. She had a sad smile on her face when she saw me walk into the room. I instantly ran across the room to kneel by the bed, and took her hand up in mine. "Sel, don't go scaring me like that," I mumbled looking at the girl. She had truly had me thinking the worst when I first saw her come through the door in Joe's arms.

She just gave me that same sad smile as before and said in a low voice, "Nicky, we need to talk." I gave her a confused nod. What was going on here? "What are we doing anymore?" she asked. I didn't understand what she meant, but she just went on, "I mean really, what are we playing at? Nick, you are my best friend in this whole world."

"You're my best friend too Sel," I said softly, lifting her hand that I held in mine and placing a gentle kiss on it.

"And I love you," she went on.

"I love you too Sel," I said, confused as to where this was going.

"I know you do," she said, and then let out a small sigh. "But you aren't in love with me. And while I may feel like I am in love with you, I know we just aren't meant to be."

I could feel something crumbling inside of me. My whole world that I had worked so hard to build up since my parents died, the one that Selena had had to build for me, it was falling apart. Sel was the foundation to my sanity and happiness. Something was breaking in me, but it wasn't my heart exactly. At least, not in the way my heart should have been breaking. "Sel…" was all I managed to get out.

"Nick, you are still my best friend in the whole world. You know that right?" she asked. I just looked at her. "Me and you Nicky, we are a team. We always will be." A hopeful look lit up in my eyes as I kept looking at her lying in that bed. Was this really a moment when she meant we were still friends, or was it one of the icing on the breakup stories that people always felt the need to tell. I still couldn't believe she was breaking up with me. She had seemed so happy with me just earlier that day.

"You mean it Sel?" was all I could manage to ask?

"Of course," she said, her sad smile brightening a bit. "Do you remember what I said to you the day your mom and dad died?" she asked. I couldn't help myself, a wide smile broke out on my face and I nodded. It had been our promise to each other, made in secret in the dead of night, up on the rooftop under the stars. Ever since then, we always tried to spend at least one night a week up on that roof looking at the stars. "I told you that even though sometimes you might think that you will be fine by yourself, because it's easy to feel like you don't need help, when you open your heart and believe in me, I will help you through all the highs, and all the lows. I will be there whenever you are lost or scared. I will be the person you can count, the one person who will always care. And when it seems like all your hope comes crashing down, and you feel all alone, I will be there to help you pick up the pieces."

"And you always were Sel," I said with a smile.

"And I always will be Nicky."

A gentle knock came from the door, and Miley snuck in the room near silently. I was still smiling at Selena, and felt silent tears falling down my face. I was truly blessed to have her around, to have such a great friend. Miley came and sat on the bed next to Selena. That all too knowing look that only girls can manage passed between the two, and Miley smiled down at her. "Sel, Joe and I ordered pizza. We are thinking that after what an eventful day today was, we just need to kick back, watch old black and white horror movies, and stuff our faces. That is, if you want to stay here?"

Selena smiled back up at Miley and pushed herself into a sitting position on the bed. "Are you kidding me? Of course I want to stay," she said with a giggle.

Then both the girls at the same time yelled, "SLUMBER PARTY!" and burst into a fit of giggles. I was left the odd man out of the girly enthusiasm, and just laughed at the two. Then Selena stopped laughing and got a serious look on her face. "I think before we have any fun though, I really could use a hair brush." The two girls fit into a burst of laughter again.

"I think that can be arranged," Miley said with a smile.

Alright, I am thinking Kevin needs some lovin too, even as just a back story. I can't leave that sexy beast loveless. Unfortunately, I don't know who the girl should be. Any ideas?
