Reconnected: A Niley Story {Ch. 1}

Miley's POV:

I woke up to the sound of the pouring rain against my bedroom window. Another loud crash of thunder pounded the ground and a strike of lightning lit up the sky. I got out of bed and sat by my window curled up in a blanket. As I looked out into the pouring rain, a familiar scene played out in my mind… {flashback}

"Nick what are you doing? It's pouring outside!" I yelled out as I reluctantly followed Nick out of the venue. I watched him run out into the rain and spin around like a little kid. He had a gigantic smile on his face."C'mon Miles. Don't be scared! Live in the moment." I couldn't help but give in and step out into the rain. I felt the water drench my hair and clothes. I lifted my head to the sky and felt the rain hit my face. Nick started walking over to me. He held out his hand. "Dance with me." I let out a small laugh. "Nick, it's pouring rain and there is no music." He pulled me close to him. "We don't need music and who cares about the rain?!" Before I could protest, he put his hands around my waist and I put my hands around his neck. We were swaying back and forth when a lightening bolt flashed across the sky. I jumped and looked into the sky. "Nick, I think we should head in." He looked at the sky too. "Fine, but every time you see a lightning bolt, think of me okay?" I smiled at him. "I most definitely will." He leaned in and kissed me lightly. {End of Flashback}

It's been 400 days, exactly. 400 days since I last saw him. As I looked farther out in the sky, I pulled out my diary (yes, I still use a diary…well, it's basically all about Nick) and began to write:

Dear Diary:

Today's the 400th day. I miss him so much. My heart hurts every time I see his face in the magazines. He's everywhere and I can't do anything about it. I love him still, but I'm pretty sure he's moved on and I can't do anything about it. I just have to sit here and watch him date my old best friend. I hate it. I just wish he was here sitting right next to me, like old times. But, wishes never come true. I think it's time I finally moved on…for good.

xoxo Miles

I sighed and put the diary back in its place right under my pillow. Today was the day that I would really move on…hopefully

Nick's POV:

I couldn't fall back asleep. Stupid thunder and lightning. I have tons of interviews tomorrow and I am going to have be awake for them. I saw a huge lightning bolt strike down while looking out the window from my bed. I kept thinking: 'Nick, just call her! You guys haven't talked in a year and a half almost. 'I stared at my blackberry that was sitting next to my iPod on my nightstand. I picked it up slowly and flipped through the contacts. Finally I found her name. Miley. There used to be a heart next to it but I deleted it the day we broke up. I couldn't do it. My finger brushed across the call button but I couldn't press down. She probably wouldn't answer anyways. Now that I am dating Selena, her old best friend, she probably wants nothing to do with me. I just have to move on and get over it. I'm sure she doesn't even think about me anymore
