WOW. I know give you ALL permission to virtually slap me. I AM SOOOO SORRRY for the wait! but anyways please enjoy! and REVIEWW! I AM BEGGING YOU TO REVIEW. IF I GOT MORE REVIEWS I WOULD UPDATE FASTER!

Now I'm standing alone, in a crowded room and we're not speaking.

And I'm dying to know, is it killing you, like it's killing me.

I don't know what to say, since a twist a fate, when it all broke down.

The story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now.

NICKS POV

Of course Miley would sing 7 Things. The song kills me and she knows it. She picks out all my flaws, but at the same time it made me heart melt because she was technically saying she can't stop loving me. She sounded amazing tonight. It's hard to believe that only two years ago she would be running off the stage into my arms. This time she runs into her new best friend, Liam's arms. I watched her as she high fived her band and dancers and hugged everyone else around her. She even signed autographs for a little girl with a disease with the Make A Wish program. The way she was playing with the little girl, made me love her even more. She was so genuine and sweet, it all came naturally to her.

"Hey man." I heard someone say and turned around.

"Hey Joe, what's up?"

"It's almost time to go on. Are you ready?"

"Yea, where's mom and dad?"

"They're talking to Miley's parents." Go figure. "Go get them and tell them we're on in twenty minutes."

This was going to be super awkward since Miley was now standing with them.

I walked over, I didn't want to be rude in front of my mother so I waitied patiently then I cleared my throat.

"Oh! Hello Nicholas! I'm sorry I didn't see you standing there."

"It's alright mom." I told her.

"Did you congradulate Miley on how awesome she did out there?" She told me. When I didn't answer she started again. "Well now, don't be rude."

"Uh, um. You were really great tonight." I told her. Her smile faded and she looked down, so I looked the other direction.

"Thanks.." She said awkwardly.

"Well, mom Joe told me to come and tell you we're on in twenty."

"Okay, well I better go and pray with you guys then. It was nice catching up with you Tish! Let's grab dinner sometime!"

"Oh! Definitely" Miley's mom agreed with a smile. My mom walked away and so did Tish leaving me and Miley there awkwardly alone.

"I meant it you know." Miley looked at me confused. "About what I said, you were great."

"Well, I'm glad to see you stopped pmsing." She snapped at me. I guess I deserved that.

"I have to go." She said, getting soft again.

"Yea, me too." And with that we both walked away.

Before I knew I was standing in a circle with my brothers, my parents, and everyone I share the stage with. We were getting pumped for the show. I couldn't wait. Especially because we had a suprise that the Administration would come out and I would sing a song called "Stay" I wrote for a special person.

When they announced our names my brothers and I ran out on stage. The crowd went wild.

We started with Burnin' up, then we go into Inseperable, a medely with Please Be Mine, Hello Beautiful, and LoveBug. Next, it was Pushin' Me Away, and Sorry.

Finally it was time for my song Stay. I made sure Miley would hear it. I know she would know it's about her. I looked over and seen her talking to someone on the side of the stage, now all she had to do was stay there.

I introduced my band and they came out and started playing, so I started singing.

It's hard to believe,

Where we are now.

Your hand in mine, babe,

Feels right somehow.

the night is so still

So don't make a sound.

Cause its almost perfect, baby

So, promise you"ll never look down.

MILEY'S POV

As soon as I heard the "Your hand in mind feels so right" line my head shot towards the stage. I knew that was for me. It brought me to that night. The night I wish I could go back too.

Flashback

Nick and I were laying in Frankie's tree house staring up at the stars. We were both on tour. Not together, seperate and neither of us have time to see eachother. It gets so hard. But finally, tonight we both had the same night off. I jumped on a plane and headed to New Jeresy to spend time with Nick and his family. This moment, his hand intertwined with mine was perfect.

"Miley." I heard him say.

"Yes?"

"What are you thinking about right now?"

"Us."

He sat up. "What about us?"

I sat up and leaned into his arms. "About, no matter what I love you. I don't get it. You can piss me off so much, but I wouldn't want it any other way."

"Miley, I love you. I love you so much it scares me. It scares me to worry that one day you'll need me and I won't be able to get there. It scares me that one day you'll wake up and find another love in another city. You're the only one for me Miley and I wouldn't want THAT any other way. I know I've hurt you before, but I'm not that person. You live and you learn, and that's what I did "

"Nick, I won't wake up one day and find someone else? Want to know why?"

He looked at me.

"Because, there IS no one else. No one else for me. These past two years with you have been the greatest of my life. You're everything I could ever ask for and more."

He leaned down kissed me. For the next hours into the morning light we layed there talking. Neither of us wanted to sleep. We wanted to spend as much time together as we possibly could.

For that moment in time, Nick and I seemed like the only two people on this planet and that's the way I liked it.

I snapped out of it. Nick was still singing.

Cause you're not the only one,

Who's ever felt this way.

Don't let the world cave in,

Just tell me that you'll stay.

I sing 7 Things and he shoots back with Inseperable and Stay! This boy is so confusing. I can't even believe it. Once he finished Joe and Kevin went back on to sing one last song and then it was Demi's turn to go on. I waited by the side of the stage; Selena was standing next to me but she was suprisingly quiet. She must have known something. Joe and Keving walked over to me and I hugged them.

"You guys were AWESOME!" I said. I was so excited for them. This was definitely the best I've ever seen them perform. I couldn't help but look over and see nick walk right past Selena. She walked away, she was performing next.

She sang a song she said she just wrote that night called, "I won't Apologize." She sang some other songs, after Demi performed then we closed the show with Send It On.

I had to say it was a pretty good day, I was getting ready to go into my dressing room when I overheard a conversation.

"What was that?" I heard Selena say.

"I could say the same to you." Nick shot back.

"You wrote and sang a song for MILEY. I just simply wrote a song, about being used. Did you forget that I'M you're girlfriend?"

"NO, Selena. I didn't forgot because you won't fucking let me forget. Don't you see? Selena, I'm sorry, but I don't love you. I was leading you on. I can't do it anymore. I can't keep pretending."

I froze. I knew this was coming. I heard someone coming so I ducked and crawled behind a shelf so I could continue listening.

Something about the look on Selena's face made me believe she knew her and Nick weren't right together.

"Nick. I know. I've always known. I just was hoping that one day you'd wake up and love me for me. Not for some tool to make Miley jealous." I heard her sigh. I actually started to feel bad once I seen her almost cry, but then again that's what you get for being a homewrecker. Selena walked away and Nick walked into his dressing room. I think I should talk to Nick...

I walked by his dressing room door. I stood there for a minute. Then finally I knocked.

"Who ever it is.. can I just have sometime alone." Nick said.

I knocked again, this time he got up. He flung the door open.

"Look I said- Miley.." He looked at me.

"Can we talk?"

"Yea.." He said softly as he stepped out of the way to let me in.

I sat down and he sat across from me. "Is it true? Did you mean it?"

He looked at me confused. "What are you talking about?"

"What you just told Selena, and the song."

He stayed quiet.

"I heard what just happened between you and Selena. If you aren't 100% sure about what you just said to Selena, then go after her. Go get her and make it right. If you love her don't let her go. Don't make the same mistake twice."

"Miley. That wasn't a mistake. The mistake was leading her on. It was kissing her that night. And that song, you know that song was true. You know I remember that night just as well as you do."

I just stared for a while.

I was looking at the ground.

"You know, we all want to fall in love. Why? Because that experience makes us feel completely alive. Where every sense is heightened, every emotion is magnified, our everyday reality is shattered and we are flying into the heavens. It may only last a moment, and hour, an afternoon. But that doesn't diminish its value. Because we are left with memories that we treasure for the rest of our lives. I know had some love for Selena, if you didn't then you wouldn't have stuck around that long."

"Miley... look at me."

I looked up at him.

"I want my best friend back. Please, we can't just pretend we don't know eachother. We can only be friends, it's what's best and what will cause us the least pain."

"Okay." I said quietly. "Let's be friends."

I got up and hugged him. Not ever wanting to let go.

LISTENN UP! OKAY. I KNOW NICK DID NOT WRITE STAY FOR MILEY. I KNOW IT COULD BE SELENA, BUT IN MY STORY HE WRITES IT FOR MILEY!
