A/N: as always I love you all and thanks a million

Previously….

And with that I left out of the front doors to the school and didn't look back. As soon as my feet hit the pavement I ran and I didn't pay attion to the sound of Joe and Nick's voices. I didn't care, they didn't know. So I ran.

With in seconds I hit the street but not even that slowed my pace, it only made me go faster. I pushed away random pedestrians and made my way past the old deli and the gut selling gross hot-dogs, I didn't care about the dirty silver sidewalk hitting the sols of my feet I just ran. A minute went by since I found the pavement and now the seen changed, what used to be people and hot dogs was now tall green grass and sky scraping trees. I arrived at a park.

I made my way over to an old tree and let my legs ease me down its bark so I could sit in the soft squishy mud. I let my self break down, no I didn't cry. Spies like me don't cry, but I let my wall, my strong red brick wall, my wall that towered millions of feet above my head. I let my wall crumble. Sure I'd build it back my I let it down just for a little because I needed to.

My thoughts and sadness were driven away by a sharp image appearing in front of my clear contact coved blue eyes, it was agent Keller, and he was mad.

"How dare you run out of their how dare you!!" Agent Keller fumed at me

"Sorry I-" I started to explain but he cut me off

"No! I don't want to hear it! How could you be so irresponsible? You're my best spy out there! I trusted you!"

I stayed silent knowing he wasn't done.

"I am so disappointed in you!" those words stung like you wouldn't believe, I hated letting people down and it wasn't something I was used to. "Do you know what you have two strikes left before you're off this case for good! Do I make my self clear?"

I cringed in fear I could not have this taken from me, the Grays' were my job and I was going to complete this mission, so I said, "yes sir, I understand, it was a momentary laps in character and I will never happen again'

"Good. Now make it back to your location before I change my mind about you." Agent Keller ordered me and then left my contact lens.

I was upset on the inside about what was said but on the out side I was as strong as ever. My wall was back in place towering above my head. I was Elizabeth Galloway and she was no damsel-in-distress, and neither was Miley Stewart.

On that thought I made my way back to the Gray's house, it was about 6:30pm and all the lights strode threw the window in various shades of gold. I took a deep breath and made up my excuses as the sols of my shoes padded the driveway. I reached the big brown oak door and pushed it open to reveal a room filled with worried faces.

"Hi everyone" I said making my presents known

"Oh my gosh your ok" Mrs. Gray gasped

"Yeah, I'm sorry, the guys down at HQ had to talk to me for a bit," I lied threw my teeth; it was what spies did best.

"Oh we were so worried" Mr. Gray threw in

"Oh please you never should worry about me, I am more then capable to defend myself" I assured the Grays

"Well that's good to know, and its good that you're ok" Kevin said

"Thanks…. is Frankie asleep?" I asked wondering

"Yeah he was knocked out about an hour ago" Kevin said as I nodded my head in under standing.

"You should talk to Nick" Joe said quietly

"Why?" I asked out of curiosity

"He was worried when you left, he came home after you made it clear that you weren't turning around any time soon. He has been locked in his room since" Joe said making me question a lot of things but none of them that important.

"Ok, I guess I'll see you all in the morning, I'm going to see If Nicks ok" and with that is up the stairs and at Nick's door.

I moved my hand back and forth to knock on Nick's door and waited until I heard a faint "come in"

So I moved my had and opened the door to reveal Nick sitting on his bed, head in hands, staring at his feet.

"Hey, Joe told me to come up" I stated the obvious

"I thought so," his voice sounded slightly muffled but I didn't mind it

"So…." I said to try and fill the awkward silence. Usually I could prevent them from even occurring but whenever I was around Nick nothing seemed to go the way they usually did, but oddly enough I liked it.

"Do you like being an agent?" Nick asked randomly

"Yeah, I mean it's all I've ever known, but I love it."

"Oh," Nick said plainly

Then there was another silence, gosh I hate those. so in another attempt to break it I repeated, "so…" after a bit Nick replied

"why?" Nick said bluntly

"why what?"

"why did you run out of school?" Nick said, but then must of seen it in my face that is was about to lie because he added, "don't even try lying"

"well…"

"come on tell me"

"well when that girl brought up my parents something snapped and I needed to get out of there before I…..before I seriously hurt her or anyone else" I said the truth just not all of it.

"why did something snap" was his next question

"because it did ok?"

"whoa chill, I'm just trying to get to know you"

"well don't!" I started to get mad so my voice started to rise

"sorry for caring about you!" Nicks tone mimicked mine but an octave louder

"You should be!" I yelled louder then before

"why are you always so freaking closed off?" Nick yelled matching my tone once again

"why are you so freaking open! the only reason I'm here is so I can protect you!"

"you should leave" Nick said quietly

"yeah I think I should" and with that I stormed out of his room and into mine.

I plopped onto my bed and let the covers take me away for a little, I clicked the switch and all of the house blocker I set turned on, then I let sleep take over my body fully.

I heard footsteps approach my bed and within a second of that I felt something shaking me. I quickly snapped into action and punched what ever shook me away. then I heard an "ouch" coming from my floor.

I looked down only to see Nick holding his side in pain, "Nick?" I questioned

"yeah its me"

"what are you doing in my room at," I looked at my watch, "2am?"

"look….wait can we talk somewhere else?"

"where?"

a smile appeared on Nick's face as he said "follow me"

I followed Nick out of my room and up a flight of stairs, and from there we walked into a room and he jumped and pushed in one of the ceiling tiles. I watched the tile move out of the way and Nick motion for me to follow as he climbed threw the removed tile.

once Nick and I were both threw I look around and took in the fact that we were on the roof of the Gray's house. I looked over to see Nick sitting on the side of the roof next to the chimney.

"ok so I will admit this is pretty cool but what did you want to talk about?"

"well I just wanted to say sorry, I was out of line and I didn't mean to be so rude." nick apologized to me looking sad.

"its ok and I'm sorry I lost my temper, its just that being closed off is just who I am" I said

I could tell Nick wanted to say something but he restrained himself. so there we sat in a comfortable silence on his roof waiting the sunrise.

I was in a daze of thoughts when Nick said, "Miley?"

I turned only to see his face inching closer too mine, his lips aimed for my own. I might be a spy but one thing I was never taught was how to act when a guy looks like he's about to kiss you.
