A few days had passed, and I haven't seen Demi or Selena since they were over. I didn't think too much about it. They were probably just busy, and so was I. In fact, I was busy playing at the coffee shop and such. Joe had managed to convince me awhile back that I should play my music at coffee shops for a part time job. It didn't actually sound too bad. I'd be able to practice my music and see how people reacted to it. If I was lucky, someone would discover me, but I'm not getting my hopes up. I looked at the time, 12:30. Time to go to Maureen's Coffee House for my shift.

Maureen's Coffee House is the place to hang out around here. Most of the high school & college kids will come here either on dates or to study. It's got such a nice environment and Maureen just loves to come out and chat with everyone. Playing here would be a dream.

I pulled up into the parking lot and parked my car. As I looked up, I saw a girl with long brown hair that looked like Selena's. She was walking hand in hand with a guy who looked a lot like Taylor. I squinted my eyes a little to try and see clearly. Wait a minute. That is Selena and Taylor. As soon as I came to this realization, I could feel my heart break into a million little pieces.

I walked into the shop and saw them sitting at one of the booths together. Don't look, I told myself. It'll only hurt you more.

"Hey Nick!" I heard Taylor shout. "What's up man? Why are you here?" he looked at my guitar case. "and with your guitar?"

"Hey. I uhh.." I looked at Selena, hoping this really wasn't a date. "I play here sometimes. Just you know, to open my music audience. What about you guys? Why are you here?"

"Oh, we're just hanging out." He quickly explained. "we're just about to go shop for the party tomorrow, though. Hey, you're coming right?"

"Yeah, I am. I wouldn't miss it." I replied. And the truth is I wouldn't. I knew Selena would be there, but in all honesty, Taylor throws the greatest parties.

"Alright man, we gotta go. Hey! Don't be afraid to bring a date. The more the merrier" he said as they walked off.

A date? Yeah right. I wouldn't be able to get a date, let alone would I want to have a date. I started to set up my stuff and pulled out my set list. I tapped the mic to get everyone's attention.

"Hey everyone. So, I'm back and I have a new song I'd like to share with you all. It's called Please Be Mine. I hope you like it." I started to strum my guitar and sing.

After my set, which was only 6 songs, I heard a female voice.

"Wow, that was really good. Did you write those songs?" she said.

Without looking up from putting my guitar away, I answered "yeah, I did. Thanks" I looked up and I saw this gorgeous girl in front of me. She has long curly brown hair and milk chocolate/hazel eyes. She was stunning. "I'm Nick" I offered her my hand.

"haha yeah I know. You said that at the beginning. I'm Miley. Nice to meet you" the girl said.

"It's nice to meet you too. Are you new around here?" I asked. She had to be new, I've never seen her before.

"Yeah, I am. I just moved here." She smiled. It was a cute smile. Not as cute as Selena's. but still cute.

"hey, so I know we just met and stuff, but my friend's throwing this party tomorrow. You wanna come? It would be a great way to meet some new people." I offered. Nick, what are you doing? I thought to myself. Don't lead this girl on. You know very well this won't go anywhere.

"Sure that sounds great. What's the address?"

"no need, I'll come pick you up. It'll be easier. Taylor, that's the guys name, he lives in a hard to find area of the city." I told her.

"Alright. That sounds great" she wrote her address down on a piece of paper and handed it to me. "I'll see you tomorrow then" she smiled and walked away.

Well, that was interesting, I though. Maybe if Selena is with Taylor, then I can be with Miley. Or maybe by me showing up with Miley at the party, it'll make Selena jealous. Yeah, that's it. I'll make her jealous so she realizes that she likes me and not Taylor.

When I got home, I told Joe about meeting Miley. "Well good for you, bro. maybe it'll help you get over Selena. Not that that will ever happen, cause you're totally in love with her."

"She was with Taylor, Joe. I can't compete against him."

"hey man. Don't put yourself down like that. If it means anything to you, I'd pick you over taylor any day" Joe said as he winked and walked upstairs.

"You're just saying that cause you're my brother" I called after that.

"Oh, dude. I have on good word Selena likes you back. Demi was talking about it today. I think you should cut the bullshit and just ask her out" he yelled from upstairs.

Does she really? I thought to myself. Maybe I'll see at the party how this works out. Maybe I'll be able to win Selena over from Taylor. But what to do with Miley?

hey guys! since it's Christmas break, i'll probably be updating a little more? we'll see. anyways, thanks for reading (:
