The New Girl 3: Make It or Break It (The Wedding Edition)

Chapter 10: Napril?

Lilly's POV

"Oliver? It's getting really late."

Oliver nodded.

"I know. Maybe we should tell Mr. Stewart that we need to go home."

I nodded, agreeing. We walked over to Mr. Stewart.

"Mr. Stewart, we need to go home."

He sighed.

"Yeah, it is pretty late. Okay, you guys can go. Bye."

"Bye," Oliver and I said.

We walked away from him and to my car. I got into the driver's side and Oliver got into the passenger's side. I started to drive to his house. I pulled up in front of his house. He unbuckled and was about to get out, but stopped and turned to me.

"Hey, Lilly. Wanna come inside?"

"What happened to us being tired?"

Oliver shrugged.

"Okay, then."

He started getting out again.

"No, wait!"

He turned around, smiling.

"I mean, what would we do?"

"Watch a move? Play games."

I nodded.

"Okay, I'll come."

"Perfect," I heard him whisper.

I turned off the car and followed him into his house. We decided to watch a movie. It was the Notebook.

The night was perfect. I was with Oliver. Nothing could go wrong.

Nick's POV

I walked away from Jake's house. No wonder he was an actor, but why would he lie like that? What if he wasn't, though? No, he was. I just knew it.

I walked back to the park. I didn't see anyone there. They must have gone home. It was one in the morning. I slowly walked home. I knew it was my fault that Miley ran away. Next time I'll just give her what she wants. I hated myself. I would never forgive myself. Maybe Jake was better for her. He would never do something like this to her.

I went up to my room and tried to sleep, but couldn't. I stayed up the whole night. I tried not to, but I couldn't help but think about the bad things that might be happening to Miley.

The morning finally came, and I was beyond tired. I got up and walked downstairs, into the kitchen. Joe was in there. He was listening to the radio. I grabbed a bowl and poured cereal. I sat down and started to eat. I decided to listen to the radio with Joe and not complain about it being on. It could help me stop thinking about how horrible I am.

There's nothing I could say to you
Nothing I could ever do to make you see
What you mean to me
All the pain, the tears I cried
Still you never said goodbye and now I know
How far you'd go

I know I let you down
But it's not like that now
This time I'll never let you go

I will be, all that you want
And get myself together
Cause you keep me from falling apart
All my life, I'll be with you forever
To get you through the day
And make everything okay


I thought that I had everything
I didn't know what life could bring
But now I see, honestly
You're the one thing I got right
The only one I let inside
Now I can breathe, cause you're here with me


And if I let you down
I'll turn it all around
Cause I would never let you go

I will be, all that you want
And get myself together
Cause you keep me from falling apart
All my life, I'll be with you forever
To get you through the day
And make everything okay

Cause without you I can't sleep
I'm not gonna ever, ever let you leave
You're all I've got, you're all I want
Yeah

And without you I don't know what I'd do
I can never, ever live a day without you
Here with me, do you see,
You're all I need

And I will be, all that you want
And get myself together
Cause you keep me from falling apart
All my life (my life), I'll be with you forever
To get you through the day
And make everything okay.

I could have started crying right then and there. I could have. But, no, I didn't. Instead I ran out of the house in my pajamas, going to try and find Miley. I was running down the streets. When I was sure I was going to be caught by my fans, I turned around. I was sure Miley wouldn't be in that part of town. It was ghetto-ish. When I was a block from my house, a girl walked up to me.

"Nick?"

I turned to her, ready to sign an autograph. My eyes opened wide. I thought she was dead....

"Hi, Nick."

It was April. But, how did she....I thought....

"What's wrong?"

I shook my head.

"I thought you were dead."

She smiled.

"Nope. I didn't die. I know how that note sounded, but no. I'm still here!"

"Oh," I mumbled.

"What's wrong, though?"

"Um....Hannah's missing."

"Hannah? Oh, you mean Miley."

"How do you know about Miley?"

"Let's just say I know things."

She smiled again.

"So, how did she go missing?"

"We had a fight."

April frowned.

"Oh, I'm so sorry." She paused. "What was your fight about?"

I looked at her. Something about her always made me feel safe around her. Well, that was until I left to go by someone else. But, when I'm near her, I can't think about that. I think how great she is....

"She wanted to....do something...."

"Oh. I see. I'm so sorry."

She put her hand on my shoulder.

"Do you need help looking?"

I nodded. She smiled a little.

"Okay, I'll help."

"Thanks."

"No problem."

We started to look through the town. I had a wig and other things on so no one would recognize me. We stopped near a park. We sat on a bench to rest.

"I wonder where she could be."

"I don't know."

"Nick...."

I looked at her.

"If we can't find her. And I'd hate to say this, but maybe you should move on."

I was afraid I'd have to do that.

"But, don't worry. You have great friends. Everyone will be there for you."

I nodded.

"Do you want to keep looking?"

I nodded.

"Okay, let's go."

We stood up. I was too numb to notice she took my hand and held it.

Miley's POV

Traci walked downstairs. She noticed I was still here.

"Ugh, what are you still doing here?"

"Uh...."

"You know what? Don't answer that. I don't care."

She sat down on the couch across from me.

"Traci? Are you happy with Jake?"

She looked at me.

"Why? Do you like him? Because if you steal him...."

I shook my head.

"No, no. I don't. Besides I have – had – a boyfriend."

She raised her eyebrows.

"Oh my gosh. I know who you are. You're the one who's marrying Nick Grey."

I nodded.

"Oh wow. But, what did you mean had?"

Uh oh, what was I supposed to say?

"Uh....well, we just had a fight. I don't know anymore."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

I smiled a little.

"Thanks."

"So, you're best friends with Jake?"

I nodded.

"Yeah."

"That's cool."

I shrugged.

"We should totally hang out sometime."

"Yeah, that would be cool."

"How about now?"

"Sure."

"Where should we go?"

"Um....the mall?"

Traci brightened up.

"Perfect! Let's go!"

I followed Traci to her car. It's not like Nick was going to look there.

Nick's POV

April and I kept walking around. No one was noticing me and I was happy. There were many paparazzi, though. April and I would go into every store that we passed by. Now we were near the mall. So many people were here.

"Nick?"

I turned to April.

"I'm hungry."

"Okay, then let's eat."

"Okay."

We walked into a store with food. We ordered and sat down, waiting for it.

"Nick?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you really miss her?"

"Yeah."

"I'm still sorry."

I shrugged. She changed where she was sitting. She changed to the seat right next to me.

"I hope you feel better soon."

"Thanks."

"Nick," she whispered.

I turned to her. I was instantly mesmerized. She leaned forward. Her lips touched mine and her hands flew to my head. My hands went to her hips. She was a great kisser. Everyone around us gasped. We didn't pull away. Like I said, when I was by April, I couldn't do anything else but everything wrong. Cameras started flashing and April pulled away. I realized my disguise was off. Everyone knew I was Nick. Everyone knew I was marrying Miley. No one knew she was gone. Everyone knew I just made out with someone else. I knew I was going to die. I wouldn't be able to live with myself. I had to find Miley or something worse could happen.

Hola everyone! And I know that there are different versions of that song, so I'm just going to clarify that I went by the version of Avril Lavigne.
So, are you so sad that summer is ending, too? I know I am. It feels like it just started! Boo hoo!
So, what do you think? Please review!
P.S. I didn't proofread this chapter, so if there are a lot of mistakes, sorry!
