Two years earlier…
"I'm moving." Alex Russo tucked a strand of hair behind her ear as she nervously looked at the ground, trying not to cry. She took a quick glance at her boyfriend of a year, and studied his face carefully. His normally natural smile was gone, and his eyes wouldn't stop staring at the ground. She could tell he was angry, just by the way his jaw tightened and the way his cheeks turned a small shade of red. She loved him, she really did. But, her family made the decision to move to New York and she was being forced to go along. She stared at his face, for as long as she needed to, to save it in her memory. "Nate?"
Nate Grey, was planning that day to be special, he was finally going to tell Alex he loved her. He begged his older brother, Jason who just got his license to drive them to the lake, so it can be romantic but now it was replaced with anger, disappointment, and sadness. He couldn't even look at her; it pained him so much just to let her go. He tried to look at her but sadness overwhelmed him, and tears started to well up in his eyes as he saw she too was crying now. "I love you, Alex." He whispered slightly and leaned in to give her a slight kiss. He wiped the tears away on her face and held her in his arms. "I always have, and I always will. Don't forget that, okay?" He kissed the top of her head gently.
"Okay." Alex murmured in between sobs. The tears were uncontrollable now; she let them flow freely and tried to smile up at him but she just couldn't. She got on her tiptoes and gave him a small peck then whispered in his ear. "You are an amazing boy, Nate Grey." She planned on saying she loved him, but she knew once she said that, it would make saying goodbye so much harder. She then, picked up her stuff and started to walk towards the bus stop. Nate stood there feeling the biggest loss he ever felt and probably will ever feel. He couldn't move, he wiped the tears off of his own face and turned the other way, wanting to look back but he knew if he did, he wouldn't want to ever let her go.

Present
In Dallas, Texas…
"I love you, Nate Grey." Miley Stewart confessed as she lay back on the grass, her hand intertwined with Nate's. It was a beautiful sunny day at the lake, and Miley chose that day to tell Nate how much she loved him. She looked up at him, expecting a response but only found a serious look on his face. She tugged at his arm and he looked at her with sad eyes. He only gave her a small smile. Regret and embarrassment flooded over her, as she turned to her side and let the overwhelming sadness take over her. Nate looked at her and felt guilt, he was guilty for leading her on like that. He never wanted to take it to far with Miley but somehow he did. His heart still belonged to Alex; no matter how many times he's tried to love Miley the same way she loved him. He told Miley from the start that he still loved Alex, that he probably never would stop but she hoped he would eventually realize that she was the one for him, not his ex girlfriend. Even though he never talked about how they broke up she always knew Alex was the one who left him, otherwise he wouldn't still be in love with her. She took one look at him again and began to cry silently. No matter how much he still loved Alex, Miley would be hoping he could learn to love her.

In New York…
Alex sat on the floor of the stairs inside her home sobbing, feeling so weak from all the crying. She was dressed in all black, just gotten home from a funeral. Her father's funeral. When she first found out he died, she couldn't cry, at all. She was just always quiet, and kept to herself. But now, after the realization of her father being gone hit her, she couldn't stop crying. Her mother, Theresa watched her daughter crying from the corner. She didn't know what to do, she thought she, herself was a mess and couldn't control it, and now she had to learn to help her daughter when she couldn't even help herself. That's why when her mother came to the funeral and offered her home back in Texas, Theresa gladly took the offer, and the help. Now, she needed to find a way to tell Alex.
"Alex, Honey." She walked over to her daughter and sat by her gently rubbing her back. Alex looked up for a second then looked back down. "Things here, in New York are getting too much to handle, and I cant do it alone anymore." Theresa started then sighed. "You're grandmother offered us a home in Texas-." Alex stood up when she heard Texas. She couldn't believe she was moving back. She didn't want to. She was barely getting used to the fact that Nate was gone and now, she was moving back? She did not want to go through the pain, of seeing Nate again. Theresa noticed Alex was a little hesitant, so she stood up too. "She's going to help us out, Alex. I can't do it all by myself. You know that. We need the help. I need the help; please I'm begging you. I need this, your brothers need this, and you need this too, even if you don't know it." She begged, and noticed Alex's tears were gone and were replaced with a serious look on her face.
Alex set her jaw and wiped the tears away. She crossed her arms and turned to her mother. "Fine. Do what you need to do." Alex turned towards the stairs and started to go up, to her room. Her mom's arms stopped her.
"We're leaving tomorrow. Your grandmother's only going to be here till then and we need to leave with her, and you need to pack." As her mother's words sunk in, Alex started to replay that day when she found out she was moving, the day she told Nate goodbye, and the day she found out her father had died. She didn't say anything but headed to her room to start packing. They were moving again, but this time going back to Texas without her father towards the boy she loved and lost was going to be the hardest thing she has ever had to do.
Well, that's my new series. Tell me what you think, and if you think I should continue it. I was listening to the song Turn Right by the Jonas brothers and I was like this would make such a great story line. So please review, I need ten reviews to post a new chapter! ;-]
Love, Steph.
