Alex knocked on Nick's door and waited for him to let her in. When she didn't hear any answer she just walked in and saw Nick sleeping peacefully in his bed. She smiled at the sight and walked across to room to sit down to his bed. She caressed his cheek and kissed his forehead.

Nick groaned and opened his eyes seeing Alex there. He grabbed his pillow and hid his face under it.

"Why are you here?" He mumbled impolitely to her.

"I wanted to see my boyfriend, is'tn that a good enough of a reason?" She smiled and poked him, trying to wake him from his sleep.

"Sure." Nick answered and being the good boyfriend that he was he pulled Alex next to him and snuggled against her, pecking her cheek. "Now just stay there and let me sleep." He smiled to her as she made herself comfy. Alex stayed silent for a while, trying to decide how to ask her question from Nick.

"Nick.." She started, unsure how Nick would react to her talking about his business. "What happened between you and Miley? Why did you guys breakup?" Nick's eyes shot open and he stared at Alex, why did she bring up Miley? He got up to sit and studied Alex's face.

"Do you really want to get in to this? It will take a long time and I'm not sure you really want to know about my relationship with her." He tried to convince Alex that this was a conversation she didn't want to have.

"I do. I tried to be cool with it but everything is so different with her here so I just I need to know. Everywhere I go people have this sad look when they look at me and I hate it. I want to know how you met, where you met, where your first kiss was and when was the first time you said 'I love you' to her. I just feel she's just such a big part of every one's life that I can't just ignore it. I really need to know." She pleaded.

"Okay, but remember that you asked for it.." Nick groaned and started to vent his and Miley's past. "We've basically known each other for our whole lives. She's mine and Joe's best friend, she has just always been here with us. Then I don't few years ago I started to have certain feelings towards her and she liked me back so we started to date. We went straight from best friends to boyfriend and girlfriend, spent every waking minute with each other.

For our first kiss, it was on a beach and it was nice polite and very ideal first kiss. Our first date, we never really did do that, I think our first date was like junk food and watching Friends and that's it.

But mainly our relationship was amazing, we were so in love that everyone else envied it. Then we got into high school and everything slowly changed. I noticed other boys looking at her the way I did and I became overly jealous. I hated it, even though I had her it still always felt like everyone else had her too, maybe because she didn't really have the heart to tell them no. She was always the most kindest person in the world.

And I know it's not fair to tell this to you, but I loved her so much, I would've done anything for her, probably still would if she asked." Nick ended his little story and saw a tears in Alex's eyes. "No, please don't cry, the reason I'd do anything for her is because she is or was my best friend. I don't want to be with her anymore." It was a convincing lie, Nick almost bought it himself.

Alex wiped away her tears and smiled sadly to Nick. "But if you loved her so much, then why break up with her? Why end something like that?" She didn't understand why anyone would break up with the perfect match of theirs.

"I really don't know." He did know, he just didn't want to tell her. Well it wasn't like he had the courage to break up with her anyways, he just thought that if he didn't bring it up they would just stop being together.

Nick stared at the wall and flashbacks of last spring flowed to his mind. He remembered the night so vividly, knowing that Joe and Miley were hanging and he wasn't suppose to disturb them so he paced around in his room trying to figure out what to do. Two hours past and he still didn't know what to do so he decided that it was time to crash his girlfriend and brother's party and join them.

He remembered opening the door and seeing them in his bed him on top of her, he remembered his heart breaking to thousands of pieces. He quickly left the room, not wanting to be seen.

After that it had been a relief that Miley left, because he didn't need to think about his heartbreak anymore, or see her everyday. Then he met Alex who started to heal him, she was like a rock, steady and trust worthy. Miley didn't seem such a big part of him after he met Alex, but of course it was all just an illusion, because the first thing he realized when he saw Miley again was that he was utterly and totally in love with her. What he felt for Alex couldn't even be compared to that.

The Driveway

"Mom, I'm gonna come late today, cauce I'm hanging with Joe today after school alright?" Miley shouted to her mother as she ran down the stairs brushing her hair.

"Sure sweetie, remember to take your lunch and breakfast before you leave!" Her mother answered from the other side of the house and Miley quickly grabbed all her food from the counter of the kitchen and suffed them to her bag. Out side she saw Joe waiting in his car like every other morning. It was weird seeing Joe was alone like the day before. They usually went to school together, Nick, Joe and her. That would take some getting used to for her.

"Hi Joe, sorry I'm late, it was a bad morning." Miley said as she jumped to the front seat. It was a bad morning because she stayed up so late thinking about Nick. He tried to talk to her on MSN but she blocked him, trying to avoid any conversation they would have. She wasn't ready to tell him how she felt, because she wasn't sure herself. She needed more time to think.

"No problem." Joe answered and pulled off the driveway. "So today, do you want to go see a movie or just stay at mine or what?" He asked, making sure they were still hanging that night.

"Erm, whatever I guess. I doubt there's any good movies right now so maybe we could rent something and watch it at yours, or like watch some of your dvds? Is that okay?" She asked playing with her hair. She wasn't really excited about hanging with Joe because she was a mess at that point. So confused about everything and everyone.

"Yeah it's okay, I'll let my mom know your gonna eat with us." He smiled and pressed play on the radio and Katy Perry's Teenage Dream started to play. "You make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream.." Joe sang with the song which made Miley laugh like crazy. As they reached the school parking place they were both shouting the song and doing a little dance moves.

"I was sure this day was going to suck, but you know what Joe? You made me forget everything crappy for a second, that's why you are my best friend." Miley smiled to him and jumped out of the car.

The Driveway

Miley walked to her next class, again everyone looked at her because she missed the first week. Looking at the classroom she realized that it was full and everyone already had pairs. Only one desk was empty so she sat down. Soon though a boy with brown hair came in and walked to her desk looking at her, like he wasn't sure whether to sit down or not.

"Nick?" Miley asked and forced a smile to her face. Of course he would be there, and he would sit next to her. Nick looked at her awkwardly and ran his hand trough his curly hair.

"I can try to get someone switch seats with me?" He tried to get away from the situation, but Miley was quick to say no.

"No that would be even more embarrassing, c'mon I think we can manage to sit next to each other for this one class. We just have to set some ground rules." She said and nodded.

"Like what?" Nick asked, not sure if he had the courage to sit with her.

"Like that I hate you and I'm not speaking to you. And that you don't speak to me either. Now that's that sit down for god's sake." Miley ordered and opened her book and started reading from the first page, blocking Nick away from her mind. Nick sat down and started to get his book from his bag, at the same time trying to think something to say to Miley.

They sat next to each other writing down the notes their teacher was writing also. Both of them feeling uncomfortable next to each other, because somehow they were so aware of each other's movements. Like when their hands touched and both of they had hard time breathing, because they felt the electricity between them the second they touched.

Later their teacher gave them a assignment to do with a pair, which kind of forced Miley and Nick to talk to each other. Miley started the assignment herself, not wanting to talk to him, but as soon as Nick realized what she was doing she took her notebook away from her.

"I believe it's called a pair assignment because you are supposed to do it with a pair." He said and looked at Miley's work. "You went wrong there anyways." He pointed out a mistake that Miley has made, which made Miley gasp.

"Right, well you do it then, since you are so much better." She rolled her eyes and looked away from Nick.

"C'mon Miley, don't be like that. I don't think you have any reason to be mad at me so just quit it." He whispered looking at the paper. Miley glanced at Nick wondering what he was talking about, how the hell did she not have a reason to be mad? But before Miley got a change to argue back, Nick said "Let's not have this fight here, we can do it after school?"

"I guess so, I'm coming to your with Joe anyways. I find a place to talk to you when I want to." She nodded and concentrated to their work.

Author's note: I'm so sorry for how long this update has taken. I'm trying to catch up with all my writing, but truthfully I had such a hard time to get any inspiration with this story. Reviews would help with that?

But I thought I'd nice to tell you why my updates take so long. So when I started to write fanfiction I was still in school and I had my summer vacation. Now I'm working fulltime so sometimes I have time to write while working, but usually I'm just so tired when I come home that I just want to like read and not start doing stuff with computer because I do that all day in work. But I feel like if I get this one chapter updated it'll be easier the next time.

Also I decided that I will go on with my orginal plot for this story. So next chapter Nick and Mi are going to talk and they will find out about a lot of things, but too bad that will only lead to huge fights and drama. Also a passionate kiss will be shared between two of my main characters.
