Chapter One:

The moment Miley began to play the world slowly began to fade away until all that was left was a moment in time that she could never get back. Jake Ryan holding her close as the daylight faded away and stars were scattered across the sky. She held onto that moment and made it burn as she began to sing.

All I knew was what I wanted
All I wanted was you
You'll never know how I adored you (you'll never know)

A million images filled her mind all at once. Her and Jake stargazing and sharing dinner on the beach ,their few stolen kisses... her words began to build and blend together as she sang all she felt in her heart.

Broken hearted I felt it all
Broken hearted my pride took the fall
Endless emotion always devoted
Broken hearted the peices fall

Her emotions caught her off gaurd as silent tears began to fall...'Damn you Jake why do I still love you...' she set her guitar down and made her way out onto her balcony staring out at the ocean. Had it really been three years since she had last spoken to him? How did something that started so beautifuly end so tragically?

A sigh made its way threw her lips as she heard her cell phone begin to ring choosing to ignore it because right now she couldn't hide her feelings ,and the truth was she bought every magazine that ever mentioned Jake Ryan. The last thing she needed right now was for someone to find out she was upset.

As Miley showered and dressed for bed she began to hear a tapping on the window. A little scared she grabbed her autographed baseball bat and slowly made her way to the window. Peering down she saw a figure lurking in the shadows she slowly opened her window.."Whoever you are the police are on there way she bit her lip hoping tht lie would work.

"Miley!" a voice spoke that sounded so familiar so comforting ,but it couldn't be him he was never coming back. He swore that day... suddenly he moved into the moonlight and the image of Jake Ryan appeared..."Jake" the name felt forgein on her lips but warmed her heart.

"Miley please don't call the police" his face went from peace being filled to absolute fear. "Jake come up here" I yelled down to him. Seeing him now after so long a surge of emotion overtook her all at once hurt,anger,love,loss,and desire.He climbed the final arch of the trellis and came in the open window. When she saw him she backed away, but his voice brought her back just like it did everytime.

This was a mistake 'what are you doing Miley' "Jake I...thi-" she never got the chance to finish as he crossed the room and pulled her into his arms. He held her close and whisperd to her "Miles Iam so sorry.."

Jakes POV:

Holding he close like this was all I had dreamed about for so long and now he knew he needed to do whatever he could to make her see that he had changed and this time he wasn't going anywhere. When she pulled away from me I think I almost died... 'I miss her...I need her...' and it was in that moment I realized that a peice of me was gone..and she had taken it..a long time ago.

"Miley wait.." I went to her taking her hands in mine ,and it broke my heart to see she wouldn't look into my eyes...and I knew in that moment if I ever wanted to make things work I needed to bare my heart to her right her and now. So slowly I leaned into her placing a gentle kiss on her lips as my hand cupped her cheek showing her all that I wanted to say but didn't know how.
