Before The Storm

yeahh, woah

i know this isn't what i wanted

never thought i'd come this far

just thinkin' back to where we started

and how we lost all that we are

"Demi, it's time for you to shoot your scenes with Selena and..."

I think that's when he noticed me. "Miley?"

He just looked at me with his mouth wide open. I figured now was just as good a time as any to make up for lost time. Thinking that, I walked right over with that stride of confidence and impatience I was aware had been lacking for a while now. Then we hugged. Well, I hugged him. And I guess, once he went out of shock, he decided he wanted to embrace me too. I have to tell you, I hadn't felt better since I finished writing 7 Things. That means I felt pretty darn good.

"It's me, Joe." I was about to pull out of the hug but his grip just got stronger.

"I missed you, Miles. You don't know how much I missed you."

"Oh, I think I have a pretty good idea."

Demi pulled me out of the moment by tapping my shoulder and pulling me away by my arms. It took all I had not to look back 'cause as I was swiftly pulled away I saw someone else I was desperately wanting to have contact with. Him. Nick.

At the End of Shooting a Scene

"Great job guys." Joe and I shared a high five and exchanged extremely happy expressions. That is, until I saw another 'brother'. This was getting to be a very eventful day.

"Hi Kevin. Watcha doin?" It was kinda hard talking to him. We were never as close as I was with Frankie, Joe, and Nick. But I trusted Kevin with everything. And sometimes he'd even come to me for advice. We were family.

"Um, Mi-Miley? Are you talking to me?"

"Of course silly. There's no other Kevin's nearby." I sat on the couch he was previously texting on.

"Are you okay?" Ok, I guess I know why he would say that. I mean, it's been practically forever and a day since we said something to each other. Not even a simple hello.

"Look Kevin, that was a long time ago. And we didn't have problems. Not us at least. That's between me and Nick. I'm ready to squash it. Do you think you are? Cause it's not the same everyday knowing I can't help you calm Frankie and Joe down or having you help me let go of any bad feelings I have." I smiled as I reminisced.

"Have you talked to--" he started.

"Joe and Nick? No, I only talked to Joe." I was being stared down by him but I knew better than to look away or else I'd lose all my nerve.

I know what you like
I know what you think
Not afraid to stare you down until you blink
It's every thing I see
Every part of me
Gonna get what I deserve
I got...
I got nerve

"Only if we start slowly. I did forget... I forgot a lot. It'd be too much to have it all thrown at me.

So now I guess
This is where we have to stand
Did you regret
Ever holding my hand
Never again
Please don't forget
Don't forget

I nodded. I knew what he was talking about. I would take what I could get. We kinda left the situation at that. He walked away and I looked after him. Great, I thought. Two down, one to go.

Two Weeks Later (read the a/n note at the end)

"Ha ha ha!" I was laughing my loud, annoying laugh. We were at rehearsals for the Kid's Inaugural Disney was sponsoring. Me and Demi were having so much fun on the stage. The Jonas Brothers would be here soon.

"Ya know, Miles? I've seen a huge change in you." I had a feeling she would bring this up. Everyone had noticed it. Even Justin. As much as I don't wanna admit it, i've slowly been drifting away from Justin. I love the guy don't get me wrong. Just less so by the days. I doubt it has anything to do with a certain boy band member. Maybe, just like Demi and Selena, Justin was only temporary. Just a seat filler. I have him to thank for gradually helping me realizing who I want to be and how to block out what was potentially stopping me. And I now I believe his job is done. The seat has been filled. And there's someone who i'm hoping will take it back.

Later That Night

I don't believe this! My arms are wrapped around his torso. I want to believe so bad that it's two years ago again and this isn't us just now reconnecting. I would update Joe daily and Kevin and I hadn't had any heart to heart confessions yet. Frankie wouldn't stop treating me like I had died and come back to life. Even Denise and Paul had welcomed me with arms wide open. It was this one who was harder to deal with. Thoughts were thrashing around wildly in my head but once i heard his all too familiar voice they calmed.

"I need to talk to you soon. This time things will be different."

I shared a look of understanding with the perfect boy standing in front of me. I know that he could tell when I was saying yes without talking. That's how we were. That's how we are. I'm determined to make sure that's how we'll be.

Okay, I need to know if you guys want the next chapter to be an epic niley moment or one that ends dramatically before they make up. I noticed that I'm kind of getting off track from the summary so I might change it.

Have you guys seen the video of Miley and Liam kissing for the Last Song? It made me wanna see that movie even more. Hope you like this chapter. It's not that long but as promised, it is longer. I'm working on it. Please leave feedback and PM me any suggestions or ideas that you have.

P.S. Unforunately, I couldn't go to Six Flags cause I could barely walk. Oh well. I'll get over it. I'm just glad to go back to camp tomorrow. It's gonna be fun and everyone's gonna laugh because of how I fell like the klutz i am and sprained my ankle. (At least I didn't break it). LOL.
