A/N: Okay, here's a couple things. first: I AM SOO SORRY. I told you SUNDAY and now it's WEDNESDAY. I just got so busy and today we had a half day so I finally finished. but as soon as I'm done here i'm going to shower then start the 6th chapter! SECOND: I want to include music as much as I can, that's why there's like songs in every chapter. really, all the songs that miley & JB & demi & selena write tell a beautiful story and that's what inspires my chapters. so there will be a lot of music in this. THIRD: okay, so there was some confusion. miley filmed the last song when she was 16 (she's 18 now) but some production problems got in the way and they are just now releasing it. FOURTH: i got a request to put mandy in it so i did (: FIFTH: I DO NOT HATE SELENA. I LOVE HER. & I know she doesn't lip sync! no hate (: FIFTH: I'm shutting up now, so enjoy (:

It's real late about quarter to one

I'm thinking of everything what we've become

And I hate it.

MILEY'S POV

I got home from Liam's and sat in my room. I don't understand why Nick hates me so much. I mean I get that I hate him. I have EVERY reason too. I don't want to hate him, and I don't want him to hate me. I just want us to be fourteen again and best friends. Before everything. Before the rain, and the thunder. And most of all before Selena. Truth is, I know Selena's a sweet girl. I know she's just competitive. I think that is she put that aside she would have real friends who actually liked her. But she's all about taking things from people, she's un... unoriginal, but I know she has potential. She just needs to find it. I looked at the clock, it was already 1:30 AM. Tomorrow was the first day of tour. I was so nervous. We're flying to Florida at 4 AM. I don't think there's any point in trying to sleep. I could go sit on my back porch and sing some songs. Practice for tomorrow. Yea, I think I'll do that.

I walked out my back door in my favorite Elvis tshirt and my brother's sweatpants. I had my favorite Gibson guitar. I started strumming singing whatever I thought of first.

I am looking up at the clouds,

watching the world spin around

Something looks familiar in the color of the sky

Reminds me of the mess that I made last night

Its blue as the ocean, as wild, as the tide

NICK'S POV

I was sitting outside when I heard open the door. I knew it was her because she never sleeps. I heard her strumming her guitar and singing.

I'm home

In your arms is where I belong

Please don't let me go

thank god I'm finally home

Her voice was like an angel. She sang from the heart. Her lyrics are true and I knew it. Everyone knew it, whether she did or not. I sat there listening to her play. I wanted to walk over there and just stare into her eyes while she played and she would look at me and shyly smile.

Here I go again where I haven't been now for a while

It feels so damn good to let out the smile

Can't remember the last time I felt loved

After that line I started thinking about all the memories we had. The time when she forgot to put water in the little soup cups and burnt it. Or the time when we decided to scare Joe and both ended up with chili all over us. I smiled thinking about all the memories we've had. That was the last time I remember feeling loved. I remember like it was yesterday. I know what I have with Selena isn't love. I don't want to keep leading her on like this, but I have to.

When your skin's touching mine

Thats how I feel so strong,

when I look into your eyes and look into your soul

If your not holding me, I can't breath, Id rather die

MILEY'S POV

I'm home

In your arms is where I belong

Please don't let me go

I finished the song and sighed. These next months are going to be torture. Not because I had to be with him. I had to be with them when he was with her. If they weren't together I wouldn't care, but they're together and Selena will rub it in my face the whole time.

I thought to myself what if I forgive him? What if I forget the past and just move forward? What if we were friends? What if were together, like together-toghether? What the fuck. No, this can't happen. I can't fall for him again because once a cheater always a cheater. I needed to get inside. I needed to throw myself on my bed and scream into my pillow and be angry. I needed to feel the hatred I knew I had for him. I ran up to my back door slammed it shut and ran inside. I guess I fell asleep once I got upstairs because before I knew it, I heard my alarm going off. Time for tour. I had to admit I was excited to get back on stage though. I got my suitcases and walked downstairs with them. The Gray's were at my house. I was so confused.

"Hey mom." I said sleepily. "Why are they here?"

"Oh morning sweety. We all decided to ride to the airport together and take the same plane. We're saving gas."

"Oh." I simply stated. I was too tired to do anything else. I walked over and said my hello's to The Gray's and earning a dirty look from Nick. I was so confused with him. There was a knock at the door when Liam walked it.

"Hey everybody! You guys ready for tour?"

Demi walked in behind screaming a loud, "WOOHOOO!" They both were so happy in the morning. It sickened me.

"Hey Liam, Hey Demi." I said as I gave them both hugs.

"Alright everyone taxis are here, let's all head out!" Mr. Gray announced. We all headed into the taxis my family & Liam in one, then The Gray's and Demi in another. Once we all got to the airport we went in the back to our private jet. As soon as I sat in a chair I fell right asleep. I was so tired I only got about 2 hours of sleep. Then next thing I knew I felt someone shaking me.

"Miley... Miley. Wake up. The plane landed everyone else is off, they told me to wake you."

I opened my eyes to see Nick staring at me. I quickly got up and walked off the plane.

"Hey sleepy head." Liam said rubbing my hair.

"WHY did you guys have NICK wake me up?" I said as I clentched my teeth together.

He little out a slight laugh, "Yea well about that... he was asleep too and we knew he would be up first so we wrote him a note saying to wake you up too because we were all SOO hungry and wanted food. But we brought you back something!"

I hit him in the arm. "Liam! I hate you!" I laughed at the face he made when I hit him. I walked over to Demi. She was flirting with Joe, as always. I looked around and seen Selena and Nick making kissy faces at each other. gag me. "They are so gross." Demi said interrupting my thoughts.

"Tell me about it. Is that ALL they do?"

"Pretty much." Joe said. "At least you don't have to live with him, she's always there."

"Joe, you're always at Demi's anyways." I said as I giggled.

"I'm talking about Frankie, poor kid. Jeeze Miley." Joe said as he rolled his eyes and walked away. Oh Joe.

I turned to Demi. "I am still so sleepy. Do you think I could sleep?"

"We have like an hour and a half, you have time." She told me.

"Awesome." I said, and I walked into my tour bus.

I sat down. I was still exhausted. I sleep a lot. I know, but one more nap won't hurt. I set my alarm to go off in 45 minutes.

Those were the fastest 45 minutes of my life. I got up, got dressed and headed into the arena. I walked right up to my mom.

"Hey mom. What do you want me to do?"

"Hey darling, go ahead into hair and make up, then we'll start letting the contest winners in for soundcheck and get you started with that."

I did as I was told and walked into my hair and makeup and sat at my vanity. I looked down and seen a note so I picked it up and started to read it.

Dear Miley Stewart,

I hate you. Break a leg tonight. Litterally.

-Selena.

Ugh, I picked up the note and threw it in the garbage. I'm not even going there. She was being immature. Don't sweat it Miley. I told myself as the makeup artist started coming in.

It took them 2 hours in hair and makeup. They couldn't decide how to do my hair. Thank god I already had my wardrob picked out or I would be late for soundcheck. I hurried up got my first outfit on and ran out onto stage. Screaming fans filled my ears. I missed this sound.

"How yall doin' tonight!" I yelled. Earning more screams. I couldn't wait for the full arena if I'm getting this much of a response from just soundcheck.

I started with soundcheck running through about 3 or 4 songs, then Demi went on, then Selena, and lastly the Gray Brothers.

There was 20 minutes until show time and I was opening the show. I was so nervous and excited. I sat in my dressing room, doing breathing excersises.

"Knock, Knock." I heard somebody come in and I turned around.

"MANDY!" I said as I jumped off the chair and hugged her. "What are you doing here?"

"I couldn't miss your first show! Plus, since I moved to France we haven't talked in like two years!"

"I know! I'm so happy you're here! How long are you here for?"

"It depends, how much more room do you have in your bus?"

"Oh, there's plenty of room."

"Then I guess, until the end of tour then!"

I squealed in excitment, then felt weird because I felt extremely girly. "Come on, time for our prayer circle." I said seriously, as we walked out of my dressing room.

Before I knew it I was rising up the stage, it was dark with thousands of fans screaming. My adrenaline was pumping and I wanted to scream in excitement.

I seen the crowd and started to sing.

Sha, Sha, Sha.

I probably shouldn't say this, but at times I get so scared, when I think

about the previous relationship we shared.

The crowd instantly started singing along. I finished 7 things and lead instantly into Can't Be Tamed.

My setlist for the night was: 7 Things, Can't Be Tamed, See You Again, When I look At You, Obsessed, The Climb, Every Rose Has It's Thorn, Stay, and The Climb.

Once I finished I ran off stage totally pumped and ran into Selena.

"Wow, Stewart that was almost impressive. You didn't even forget the lyrics this time. You seem to do that a lot."

"Yea, because I don't lip sync unlike some people." I told her with an attitude. Obviously, she didn't have a comeback because she stormed off without saying anything. I was in a good mood and I was NOT going to let her and her little boy toy ruin that.
