So, I'm trying to update more often, and I really wanted to write this, so I decided to update :) I hope everyone had and amazing Thanksgiving! I'm thankful for every one of you that reads my story, it means alot to me :) So thank you very much :)

But, this chapter is a little surprising, I guess, maybe? But, here it is :)

Miley's POV

The first night I spent at the Gray's house was terrible. Every time I saw Shane, he wouldn't look me in the eyes. It was like, he was scared of me, and it was really awkward. So, when everyone decided to go to bed, I was extremely happy. I thought that maybe, if everyone slept everything off, things wouldn't be so awkward.

"Goodnight." I said, as I walked slowly into my room and shut the door. It was almost exactly like my room at home, only a little smaller. I had known the Gray's forever, so I didn't get that 'out-of-place' feeling you get, when you move somewhere new.

After taking a shower, I changed out of my clothes, and put on my pajamas. I was about to start reading a book, when someone knocked at my door. Guess who it was.

"Miley, can we please talk. I can't stand this. I hate when you're mad at me." Shane said softly, with the pain still dripping from his tone. I knew he was hurting, but something inside me just wouldn't let myself feel sorry for him.

"No, Shane. I'm going to bed. Goodnight." I said, angrily, as I turned out my lamp and snuggled under my blankets.

"Please, Miley. I'm begging." Shane pleaded, but I wasn't giving in. I wasn't ready to talk about everything, all I wanted was sleep.

"No. Goodnight, Shane." I said, giving emphasis to the last part. He didn't say anything else, so I'm guessing he just walked away. Finally, I could get some sleep, and try to forget everything for a little while.

Shane's POV

I walked into my room, and flung myself onto my bed. Nothing seemed right anymore, with Miley not speaking to me. She was my best friend, and I really was in love with her. I couldn't take her not speaking to me. But, no matter how hard I tried, she wouldn't give in. She wouldn't believe me. And I didn't understand that.

If someone tells you they're in love with you, you're supposed to believe them, right? I mean, why would anyone lie about something like that. I could understand if they were jerks, and had a history of lying or something, but I had never lied to Miley. Not really, at least. And I certainly wasn't a jerk to her on purpose. So why couldn't she believe me?

I turned the lights off in my room and just lied on my bed. I turned the radio on, just in time to hear one of Miley's favorite songs. It was like the world was mocking me. I sighed, and turned over. Maybe if I went to sleep, I could forget about Miley for a little while.

XOXOXOXOXO

When I woke up in the morning, I turned over to look at my clock. It was only 8. I thought about going back to sleep, but I smelled food. Then, I remembered it was Saturday and mom was probably cooking. Excitedly, I threw on some clothes and ran down stairs.

Everyone else was already down there, which included Miley. She looked just as beautiful as ever, and when I saw her, pain filled my entire body. Not just because I saw her, but because she was with Nate. My own brother. Laughing, and maybe even flirting. At least, that's what it looked like to me.

"Good morning, sweetie. Breakfast is almost ready." Mom said to me. I nodded and then joined Miley and Nate on the couch.

"Dang, I didn't know you were this good Miley." Nate said, as he and Miley played some sort of video game. She smiled.

"You should never underestimate me, Nate." She said, not taking her eyes off the screen. Then, the game made a sound and Miley bust out laughing. "I won again!" She exclaimed. Nate sighed.

"Okay, that's enough of this. I'd rather not get beat again." Nate said, as he put his controller down. Miley continued laughing at him.

"Come on, one more game, please!" Miley pleaded, but Nate shook his head.

"I don't want to get beat again." He said as he folded his arm, and pouted like a five year old. What was he trying to do? Be cute?

"Breakfast time!" Mom yelled from in the kitchen. Nate smiled.

"Fine then. Let's go eat." Miley said, standing up and walking towards the kitchen. Did she even see me the whole time they were playing?

"Oh hey, Shane." Nate said, following Miley into the kitchen. I tried my best not to glare at him, then we both went to the table and ate our breakfast. "Hey, does anyone want to go to the mall today?" Nate asked.

"Oh! I do!" Miley exclaimed, then she took a swig of her orange juice.

"Cool. Shane, do you want to come?" Nate asked, looking over at me as he chewed on his toast.

"Um.. I.. uh.. I have to do something else." I said, trying to find and excuse. I really didn't want to see Nate flirting with Miley all day. That would be torture.

"Okay?" Nate said, giving me a weird look.

For the first time, Miley and I locked eyes that morning. I gave her a slight grin, but she just shook her head and looked down at her plate. I sighed and cleaned my mess up. Then, I grabbed my jacket and walked out the door. I had to get out of there.

Miley's POV

"What's wrong with Shane?" Nate asked, after Shane closed the door behind him. "Are you and him fighting? You two haven't talked much."

I sighed and picked up my plate to take it to the sink. I turned on the water, and started to let it fill the sink up. "Yeah. Kind of. Has he not told you what happened?"

"Nope. Tell me." Nate said.

"He told me he was in love with me. Can you believe that?" I asked, as I started to scrub one plate.

Nate looked like he was about to say something, but he closed his mouth. In a few seconds he opened it again. "Really? When did he tell you that?"

"Like two weeks ago. I got all mad, and told him I didn't believe him. Because I don't. I know he isn't telling the truth. I mean, if you were in love with someone, wouldn't you tell them before they hurt for so long?" I asked. He nodded. "I mean, he could have told me back when I told him I was in love with him. He didn't have to wait this long. If he really loved me, he would've saved me the heartbreak, right?"

Nate hesitated for a second, but then looked at me, "Yeah, I think you're right. I don't want you to get hurt again, Miley. So don't believe him until he proves it to you, okay?" He said sincerely.

"Okay." I smiled, as I finished washing the last dish and started to dry them. "Hey, um, how are things with you and Alex?" I asked.

"Well, we decided that we both know a long distance relationship would never last. Especially how far apart we are, so we just kind of ended things." Nate said. The weird thing was, that he didn't look sad hardly. He looked just fine.

"Oh, really? I'm sorry about that." I said, as I placed a plate in the cupboard.

"It's okay. Plus, I don't really think I was like, in love with her. I'm kind of falling pretty hard for someone new right now." Nate said, as he smiled.

"Oh, that's good. Maybe it was best for both of you." I said. I finished putting the last plate up and then sat back down at the table with Nate. His eyes looked a little, disappointed maybe?

"Yeah." He said flatly. "It was."

"Well, do you still want to go to the mall?" I asked, he shook his head.

"Not really, I'm kind of....um... tired." He hesitated. I laughed.

"Okay, we can go another day." I said. He smiled and went upstairs to his room and I followed behind him, and went into mine.

Shane's POV

The next week of my life wasn't good. At all. Each day kept getting worse and worse, and me and Miley were not making up. She still wouldn't even talk to me, no matter how much I begged, and no matter how much I tried to talk to her. She just spent all her time with Nate. That was the thing that irritated, and hurt, me the most.

They would go to school together in the mornings, and I Knew that they had a lot of classes together. When they got home, they would do all of there homework together. They spent every waking moment together, and I could tell that Nate was getting a little too close to her. So, I decided to talk to him.

I knocked on Nate's door, and he told me to come in. He was sitting on his bed listening to his ipod, but he took his headphones out when he saw it was me.

"Hey, bro. What's up?" He asked. He sounded sort of, guilty. But maybe that was just me.

"Nothing really. Can we talk for a second, though?" I asked. He nodded and I sat down in his computer chair.

"So, you and Miley have been hanging out a lot lately." I said, casually.

"Um, yeah. I guess we have." He said, just as casually as I did.

"You two are getting pretty close, aren't you?" I asked as I picked up one of his pens and started to play with it. I was trying hard not to get mad at him, for 'stealing my girl'. After all, I didn't really know if he even liked her.

"Sure, I guess." He replied. He looked at his hands, like he always does when he's nervous. Then, I really suspected something.

"So you think you may be falling for Miley?" I asked, pretending not to care. I tried to put my cool act on. The one where I acted like nothing mattered to me, even though Miley was really the only thing that mattered to me anymore.

"Who? Me? No, dude. She's in love with you." He said, nervously. He kind of gave me a glimpse of hope, when he said she was in love with me. I started to wonder if she really did love me anymore, but when he said that, I started to believe she did again. I smiled.

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"Yes." He replied.

"Positive?"

"Yes!"

"Absolutely sure?"

"YES! Holy crap, Shane! Why does it even matter to you? What if I did like Miley? You had your freaking chance with her and you broke her heart, so why do you even care?" He said, slightly raising his voice. I could tell he was getting angry. I should've said, "because I love her". But, me, being my stupid self, didn't.

"You're right. Why should I care? She's nothing more than a friend to me." I said, then I through his pen down where it was and walked out the door, slamming it behind me. I bumped into someone, and backed up, realizing it was Miley. She looked like she was about to cry, but she looked sad at the same time.

"So I was right. This really was all a sick joke. I thought you were my best friend? Why would you do this to me? How could you?" She asked, and a single tear ran down her face. I wanted to wipe it away, but I knew she wouldn't like that too much.

I was at a loss for words. Why was I stupid enough to say that, when that was the total oppisite of how I really felt? "Miley, I... He... I was-" I stuttered, but she didn't let me find the words to say.

"Just save it Shane. I'm sick of all this crap. I can't take anymore of the pain from you, I'm done Shane. I'm through with you. Don't talk to me. Ever." She exclaimed, then she ran into Nate's room and slammed the door. That blew me off the edge.

I ran into my room and slammed the door harder than I ever had before. I heard my mom yell something up the steps, but I didn't care. Miley, was apparently never going to speak to me again, and my own brother had betrayed me. I couldn't even make myself cry, or scream. I just blasted the music in my room, and sat on my bed, staring off into space.

Miley's POV

"I can't freaking believe him." I said, as Nate wrapped his arms around me. I was crying, but I was also furious. I didn't know Shane could be so heartless.

"I'm so sorry, Mi. I know it hurts, I'm sorry. But I'm right here, and you can cry all you want to. You can even punch me if you want to." Nate joked, and I couldn't help but laugh. I looked up at him, and noticed for the first time in my life that he had the most gorgeous eyes I had ever seen, other than well.. you know who.

"I can't believe, he would lie to me like that. What in the world was he thinking? What did I do to him, that would make him want to hurt me this bad?" I asked, trying to stop the tears from falling, but I just couldn't. Nate kept wiping them away with his shirt.

"I don't know, Miley. Maybe he just wasn't thinking. But, I do need to ask you something." Nate said, pushing me back and looking me straight in the eyes. I couldn't help but get lost in those beautiful eyes. "How much did you hear of our conversation?"

"All of it." I said, blushing at the fact that Shane asked Nate if he liked me. That was just awkward. But part of me kind of wanted him to like me. That same part of me though that possibly, maybe, I was falling for Nate.

"So you heard what Shane asked me, right?" He asked. I nodded. "What would you say, if I told you that I lied." He asked, looking down at his hands nervously.

"Lied about what?" I asked, but before he could answer, I realized what he was saying. "Oh, oh, oh." I said.

"So, what would you say?" He asked again. I smiled.

"Were you really lying? Do you like me?" I asked.

"Miley, I know that you've just been hurt, really bad. I know you might not want to jump into a relationship, and you might not even feel the same way I feel about you. All I know is that the days since you moved in with us have been the best days of my life. And, if you do possibly feel the same way about me, I promise I will never, ever hurt you like Shane did. I... love you, Miley." Nate said, slowly.

"Oh my gosh, Nate. Really? Because, I was kind of starting to think that I liked you." I said.

His face lit up and the biggest smile I've ever seen spread across his face, and it was beautiful just like his eyes. "Really?" He asked. I nodded. "So, you do like me?" I nodded again. "Thank goodness." Nate said, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. "Because, I think I would die if you didn't."

I don't know what got into me, I guess I just got caught up in the moment. Maybe I was pretending that it was Shane, instead of Nate. Maybe I really was falling for Nate, and getting over Shane. Or maybe, I just needed someone to love me. Whatever it was, made me lean into Nate and kiss him. It caught him by surprise, and it sure caught Shane by surprise.

The look on his face, that we both saw through the door, that we mistakenly left cracked, was unlike anything I had even seen before.

So.. how did you like it? I bet some of you hated it. So.. do you think she will stay with Nate, or will Shane and her FINALLY be together ? (: Hehe. I promise you will not be disappointed in the end, so don't give up on me here if you don't like Nate and Miley together :) Review if you can, please! And once again, HAPPY THANKSGIVING !
