A/N: So I combined the two parts together, to make this chapter, it isn't entirely the same, but it isn't entirely different either. I'm trying to rewrite, to the best of my ability

Chapter Ten

2 Weeks Later

I sat down against the marble island, the barstool set against the kitchen island. My eyes glancing out at the the deserted beach, the water rippling against the coast, the long trail of sand, that laid untouched. The dark sky slowly falling over the surrounding, as I let out the breath I hadn't realize I had been holding in. The sound of the pitter patter, of fallen raindrops hitting against the roof, closing my eyes, I allowed my thoughts to roamed, as my eyes glistened with tears.

Flashback

I ran across the grainy sand, collasping against the shore, as my toes dugged into the wet sand, feeling the cold moisture beneath my toes. The tears falling out of my blue eyes, as I took in the salty air that floated around me. Listeing to the crashing waves, as they slowly moved against the ocean shore, the bright moon reflecting light onto the dark water. Breaking out of my trance, as I felt the gentle hand resting onto the side of my shoulder, I looked up, before my eyes met with the chocolate brown.

He sat down beside me, as we sat side by side in silences, his arms resting onto my shoulder, my arms wrapped around his waist, as I let the tears fall. His gentle fingers ran through the long strands of hair, as I listend to the sound of his beating heart. Before he finally broke the silences, his voice soft and gentle, "It'll be ok."

I shook my head, "You are leaving... how will it be ok?"

He cupped my face, bringing my eyes to meet his, as the faint layer of tears hide the chocolate eyes, the way the were intenseifed behind the layer of moisture, "Because I'll always be in your heart." He placed his hand over mind, before resting it against the left side of my chest, the rapid beating of my heart, hitting back against my hand.

"I'm going to miss you..."I said softly, the tears falling.

He nodded, "We will keep in touch, Miley... you are my world."

I looked up as my eyes met his, "I love you so much... I'm really happy for you... I hope you know that."

He smiled at me, before dipping down to capture his lips in mine, our lips touched in an instances as the sparks erupted between contact, the heat radianting between our lips, as my heart beated rapidly. Losing myself, as our lips locked with one another, under the bright glow of the moon. I didn't know it then, but that wouldn't be our final goodbye...

End of Flashback

The tears cascaded down the side of my face, the long trails of never ending tears as the slide down, from my blue eyes. Pushing myself off the stool, I made my way up the stairs, the questions running through my mind, as I tored up the steps. Pushing open the door, I ran across the carpet floor, before my hand grasp around the handle, pushing the door wide open. Climbing over the railing, as I landed onto the wooden planks, the cold air whipping at my body, the pouring raindrops hitting against my skin as the tears streamed down, a fist formed in my hand, as I pounded against the glass door.

The door slid open, before my voice took over in rage, "WHY NOW?" The tears falling openly, underneath the pouring rain, as I stood drenched in the wet fallen drops. The desperation in my voice just to know why, "Why now, after five years?" My voice trembled in fear.

He led me inside as my loud sobs filled the quiet house, before collaspsing onto the ground, my voice coming out in defeat, as the pain too over, my eyes locked with his, as my hand wiped away the fallen tears, new one quickly filling to the brim, "Why now?"

He let out a sigh before he spoke, "Because for the first time in the past five years I realized that being around you has filled an empty piece of my life that I had thought I lost, becuase I never stopped loving you, because after all these years, you are tstill the one person who knows me better than myself. Because no words will ever be enough to explain, how much I truly need you in my life..." The tears falling from his eyes, "Because I love you... and I know that I don't even deserve you."

Stumbling towards him, as I wrapped my arms around his strong body, I held the only thing I wanted, allowing my face to rest against his chest as the tears fell, trailing their way down across his bare chest, thick droplets hitting against his hot skin, my eyes met with his, "I don't know what hurts more... the fact that you left me five years ago, or the fact that you are here now, and you are too late..."

He wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer against his body, before my eyes ran across the familiar room, even in the darkness, I could make out the boxes that laid across the floor. Boxes piled against one another, before I glanced up meeting his eyes, before I broke away from his arms, "You are leaving..."

He nodded his head, the tears falling from his eyes, as I pushed him out of my way, my eyes landing onto the glass door, before I shouted, "Were you even going to say goodbye?"

The tears poured down the side of his face, his eyes tired, before he slowly shook his head, "Miley, it's too hard..."

I shook my head, in disbelief, my feet moving towards the glass door, "You were just going to leave..."

"MILEY!" he shouted, his hand catching my wrist as he pulled me back.

Yanking away from his gripped, I shook my head, the tears falling, "Don't Nick, you were just about to leave... without saying goodbye." Stepping out onto the wooden landing, the rain pouring down on me, as I let the thick droplets fall.

He followed closed behind, sighing, closing the distance between us, as we stood underneath the pouring rain, "Miley, you have to understand, I couldn't face this, I couldn't sit there and watch you marry another man... not when I'm in love with you."

I shook my head, his words cutting the wounds open, "You were going to walk out Nick... In fact you walked out five years ago..." The tears falling rapidly.

"Miley, I love you... I do." He whispered, underneath the fallen rain.

I pushed pasted him, before climbing over the landing, glancing back at him, as I stood their my eyes meeting his, before I shouted out in pain, "I can't do this."

He faced me, as he brought his hands to his face, wiping away the fallen tears from his eyes, stepping over the railing that seperated us, he stepped forward standing beside me, his voice raised, as he shouted, "Miley, why do you fight it? You still love me just as much as I love you."

My eyes locked with his, before on impulse I brought my hand forward, without thinking, I allowed my hand to openly collide with the side of his face, the burning sensation left on my hand, as I let the tears fall.

My body shook before breaking down into a compuslive fit of sobs, the tears coming out from within, the strenght it took to support my body, before I glance up. His fingers ran across the side of his face, where the red mark was left, the tears in his eyes. Stuck in a moment unsure of what to do, I managed to mumble, "I'm so sorry," each word coming out after a large breath of air.

Turning on my heel, I pushed open the door, slamming it shut behind me, the tears falling from my eyes. Sliding down to the floor as I resting my body against the glass door, crying to myself in the darkness, before the door pounded, the vibration of his fist hitting against my door.

I pushed myself off the ground, wiping away the fallen tears before my hand grasp around the cool metal handle, pulling open the door. Unsure of what was left to say, as I opened my mouth to speak, before the words to could out, he stepped forward, closing the space between our lips, as they collided. His lips pressed hard against mine, as we stood underneath the pouring rain. Caught in the moment of his touch, I brought my hand to the side of his face, cupping his face, before they snaked around the back of his neck, resting it there. His hand grazing against my hips, as he held me, our bodies being pulled closer to one another.

He slowly pulled away, his breath gasping for air, taking uneven breath that was much needed. His eyes stayed locked with mine, before I pulled away, the tears falling, "Nick..."

He looked up, as he spoke, "Miley, just tell me one thing, do you still love me?"

My eyes fell, as I glance down at the cement floor, my mind racing with the right words before I looked up, meeting his eyes. "I don't know... I'm sorry."

The tears falling, before he spoke up, "MIley, tell me that kiss didn't mean anything to you...becuase it meant everything to me."

My eyes locked with his as the tears ran, "Nick, I'm so sorry, but I can't do this, not to Cody... I just can't, I won't lie to you and say that the kiss didn't mean anything to me, becuase it meant everything to me, but youa re too late. I'm with Cody, I'm marrying Cody this Saturday, and he is the one I'm going to spend my life with," letting out a laugh at the irony, "You can't expect me to just come running back to you, falling at your feet as if you never left. We are not in high school anymore; life isn't this fairytale we imagined it would be. You can't expct me to leave everything I have worked so hard to put back to gether." The teras falling, before I could only say the one thing I could say, "I'm sorry I just can't."

Turning on my heel, as the tears ran, I walked towards the glass door, as I stepped through the dark room, closing the door shut behind me. My heart broke into a thousand pieces as I sat in the darkness, releasing all the emotions I had left lying inside of me. Not holding back as they ran.

A/N: YAY, a new chapter.. and when I mean new, it is literally new, like nothing you have read before. I thought after doing Four chapters back to back, with the same stuff as the last chapter you needed a nice new chapter.
