Merry Christmas! Sorry for the late upload but the reason is, my x-mas present to you guys (the people who read my stories) is that I'm more or less uploading a chapter on each of my fanfics. Inspiration came in the form of YouTube (I don't own it)
So have fun and review at the end!

Chapter 7

Miley's P.O.V

I hate men. All men are bastards! Okay not all of them...just that Jonas boy and Chris. I went to the pier and guess what I saw, Nick hugging some blond. I mean it might not mean anything but...the way she was hugging him...it was like he hadn't seen him for ages...and they way he looked at her.

Flashback...

There we were, me and Lilly walking down the pier, sharing cotton candy, we had just been on this large rollercoaster and we had decided that after the cotton candy we'd go on the Ferris Wheel, Lilly had taken her camera and we'd take pictures of Malibu at night. A weird hobby we share.

And then I just looked to my left. An there was Nick, I was about to call out to him but then this blond girl appeared and I froze as he kissed her cheek and hugged her. Questions came into my head, who was this girl? A friend from New York? An ex-girlfriend? Or maybe a girlfriend that he never told me about? I felt sick as I watched him talk to her, a smile on his face...I turned to Lilly and excused myself quickly. I ran home, I just wanted to forget. Then Lilly called me. As usual she told to stay calm and maybe it wasn't what it looked like.

End Flashback

I tied my hair back and went into the bathroom. I quickly took a small shower and changed quickly into a pair of grey shorts and a white wife beater. I got my IPod from my desk and hurried downstairs, I grabbed my trainers by the door and hurried to the beach for my morning jog, my music blasting from my earphones.

I ran along Malibu, taking in the scenery, the early sun...yet all my thoughts went back to Nick...I knew I was falling for him, I'm not that blind...then Chris entered my mind...we hadn't fully broken up. Chris could be sweet but he could also be a jerk, Nick...was just perfect...I let out a sigh...I had to make a decision, this was unfair and cruel to both of them. I turned round a corner and found myself at the beach. I took a minute break as I watched as the sun finally rose. This is what I loved about Malibu, even though the people are complete fakes the scenery makes up for it. A slight breeze blows softly against my skin. I close my eyes and breathe in that salty air.

Nick's P.O.V

I couldn't believe Joe made me walk that stupid dog of his. I mean it's not the dog's fault that Joe is too lazy; I bent down to stroke it, why on earth did he call a black Labrador Shakespeare? I mean we're not even British and he called a dog that bears no resemblance to the ancient English writer. "Where do you wanna go?" I asked it. The dog simply stared at me wagging its tail. "Ok then...we'll just walk on the beach then we're going back."

I let the dog off the leash and watched it run like a mad animal. I couldn't believe I had a date with Miley Stewart! I leaped into the air and ran laughing after the dog...ok, where was the mutt? I looked round trying to see where the hell it was. Then I heard the most beautiful sound, I turned round and saw Miley stroking Shakespeare.

I ran towards where they were. "Miles!" She looked up and for the first time in the short time I've known her never had I been given a cold look. "You found Shakespeare!" I joked, what had I done wrong? She gave me a small smile which I could tell was forced.

"Well here's your dog." She said giving it a quick pat before standing up. "See you around." I stared at her confused.

"You still on for tonight?" I asked. She looked at me sadly. What had happened? Had I been too aggressive asking her out? What the hell had I done?

"I don't know. I have homework...a lot and I have to think of a routine for the squad...sorry." I stared at her confused.

"Miles what have I done?" The look she gave me made my heart break. She whipped round and started running. I looked at the dog. "Stay." And I ran after her. "MILES!" I called out. Boy was she fast, guess from all that cheerleading shit.

Miley's P.O.V

How dare he act so innocent! I shouldn't have come running. I am such an idiot. "MILES!" Why is he coming after me? Why doesn't he go after that girl who he likes to hug so much! Tears blur my vision, I can't cry now! Not with him so near! "WAIT!" I took a deep breath and tried to stop the tears from falling.

I turn a corner and somehow find myself slipping on something and 'BANG' I'm on the ground. The tears are falling quickly now. Using the back of my hand I wipe them away. I've grazed my knee. It really hurts OW! Even when I move it! I see him coming closer. Why? I get up but wince at my knee.

"MILES! Why are you running?" I can't run but I can ignore him. "Miley what have I done wrong? Please tell me!" I look at him, he looks as sad as I do.

"Like you don't know." I know that was stupid. It really was. "Why don't you go back to your friend?"

"Miley I haven't a clue what you're talking about." He stares at me; he really does have nice brown eyes...focus Miley.

"At the pier!" I shout, when I stop myself from crying I go into hysterics. "You were with some blond!" I'm jealous and he knows it. He blinks for a second and suddenly his lips form an 'O'.

"You saw me hugging Taylor." We have a name! Now's the part where he'll tell me she's an ex-girlfriend or some friend and they might be getting back together.

"I hope you two are really happy together!" I turn round when he grabs my arm. I feel like I've been electrocuted, but in a nice way. "Let go!"

"She's my brother's girlfriend." He says smirking. "I was walking his dog. They're visiting for a bit." Now it's my turn to be shocked.

"W-what?" I splutter out. He nods and holds my hand.

"Yea' she's my brother's girlfriend." I feel such a fool. "Miles...I-I..." I look at him, is he going to tell me he like me almost as much as I like him? I bit my bottom lip.

"Yes...?" I whisper. He stares at my hand.

"I-I..." If I die before I wake...at least in heaven I can skate... "Shit." It's his phone. "Hello? Yes Joe I'm walking the dog...oh OH...shit...well at least you got him." He held his phone away from his ear and mouthed 'brother' to me. I could hear a distant rambling coming from the phone. "Right Joe. Yes Joe. Don't worry Joe. No I'm not mocking you Joe...I'm with Miley now so I can't...but, come on!" He looked at me nervously, his hand over his phone. "Do you want to come round to my mom's for dinner? I know we had the cinema thing going but...I mean you don't have to...I just wondered..."

Was he being serious? Of course I'd love to! Jackson was at his girlfriend's and Lilly...well Lilly was being Lilly. "Sure!" Nick's smile is like the sun, it's so dazzling I could just swim in it.

"Ok we're coming..." He closed his phone and stared back at me. "I'll pick you up at seven?" I nod dumbly. "You can meet Taylor." Aha! He's testing me to see my reaction. I'll show him! I smile. "I better be going, the dog has managed to get back home and Joe wants to murder me." I giggle and wonder if Joe is like Nick. I watch as he goes away...wait now what do I wear for tonight?

Nick's P.O.V

I chuckled to myself on the way home, Miley was jealous. She actually believed that Taylor was my girlfriend...I still can't believe she wants to meet my family...I better hide the baby pictures then...I ran back home where I was met by Taylor. "Heya Nickie!" I rolled my eyes I hate being called that and she knows it. "Did Miley say yes?" Before I can answer Joe does as he comes outside.

"Of course she did, I mean look at him, he's got his goofy smile on!" Joe teased as he wrapped his arms round Taylor. "Guess who else is coming?"

"I'm dying with excitement." I say sarcastically.

"Kevin...apparently he's got something big to tell us." I nod. "Sooo...you and Miley huh?"

"We're not dating." I grab a chair and sit down. "She saw me and Taylor hugging and got the wrong end of the stick."

"Dude she's into you!" Joe says chuckling slightly. I stared at him confused. "She likes you!"

"Then why doesn't she just tell me?" Seriously if she likes me then why doesn't she just tell me?

"Maybe she's just shy." Taylor said gently. "What if I talk to her?"

"Don't. I mean she still has feeling for her ex-boyfriend." I say bitterly. I didn't want to admit but it was true. Wasn't that the reason why she didn't ask me out?

"Dude everyone does in the beginning. You just need to make her realize that you do like her." Joe replies kissing Taylor.

Hn, and how do I do that? "And how do I do that?" Joe shrugs his shoulders.

"You'll figure something out." Taylor replies.

Sometimes I wish Kevin was here, I mean right now...he'd know what to do. I wanted it to be special for her; I wanted to show her I cared about her... a lot. That meant taking down the baby pictures and tidying my room. This was going to be hard, the last time I cleaned my room was...never! It was still early but still, I wanted Miley to see what an amazing place I lived in.

I wonder how much I shall have to pay Joe to stay away from the house...I walk into my room...I clean away some sheets of paper when a couple fall to the ground...they were the music sheets that I had done...Love Bug...Play My Music...Hmm...

"Nick?" I turned round and see Taylor standing in my room. "Those love notes?" I smirk and show them to her, Taylor is really cool with this stuff...unlike Joe.

"I wrote them down...Love Bug was for Miley and Play My Music was something Joe, Kevin and I had written years ago..." I explain.

"These are really good! Why don't you sing this to Miley?" I blinked hard. Me? Sing?

"What?"

"Yea' you should totally sing Love Bug to her, if you really like her, this would be perfect." Taylor says, "This part where 'I can't get your smile out of my mind'...you really do like her don't you?"

"Taylor I feel as if I need to be with her...I feel like my sole existence is for her!" I say. "She's amazing and beautiful and extraordinary!" Taylor nods her head.

"I'd sing Love Bug to her. Kevin's coming tonight so it'll be perfect." I place the sheets back on my desk. Taylor is like the sister I never had. "I'll talk to Joe. This is going to be amazing! You'll get the girl of your dreams!" I smile thinking of it all. "I'm going to talk to Joe." She pauses by the door. "I'll take down the baby pictures for you." I grin despite myself.

Miley's P.O.V

What should I wear? Normally I ask Lilly but she's at Selena's, they're throwing a party, naturally I was invited but seeing as I had a 'date' with Nick. Could I call it a date? URGH! I wish Lilly was here, she'd tell me...I'll probably be the talk of the town...Wonder what they'll say? "Do you remember Miley Stewart guess who she's going out with? That new kid from New York!" I chuckle slightly.

I rummage through my wardrobe and pull out a few outfits, a long strapless white dress, a dark blue silky loose top with spaghetti straps and white denim cut offs and finally a white puffy sleeve top and a knee length dark blue with red and yellow strips around the bottom. This is a Selena problem, normally I'd turn to Lilly for clothes but this was a kind of a date thing and this was Selena's forte. I had only three hours to get ready. I grab my phone and press 3. Lilly is number two on speed dial my dad being number 1.

"This is Selena."

"Sel, it's Miles." I hear an intake of breath. "I need your help."

"Sorry Miles I'm setting up the party. Why don't you ask Oken or better yet Nick Jonas?" Ouch, I had no idea how this was reflecting on my other friends, no wonder Lilly was so mad despite admitting she liked Oken.

"Sel I'm really sorry...I have a date with this college guy." Boy was I going to regret this later. But I didn't need her knowing where I was going tonight. Hopefully Lilly hadn't said where I was tonight.

"Funny, Lilly here says you're seeing Nick Jonas. Who's lying, her or you?" Double ouch, Selena was good...yet why was she so cold towards me? Sure I liked a guy they didn't approve but so what? "Miley?"

"I blew Nick off for this college guy." I lie. I wipe my palms against my top, I am a terrible liar whenever it's in front of people, on the phone it's like I'm acting...I really shouldn't be lying but I hate Selena giving me the cold shoulder.

"Really? What college does he go to?"

"Colombia!" I swallow hard, why on earth Colombia? That's in New York. "He's on his break thing."

"Hn." She pauses and I can tell she's hesitant on whether to help me or not. "What outfits have you got?" So I tell her. "Hn...Promise you'll give the details tomorrow at practise?"

"Yes don't worry I will tell you everything!" I can hear her squeal in excitement.

"Go for outfit number 2! And straighten your hair! Oh and wear those white Gucci shoes, you know the small wedges?" We share a laugh. I have my friend back.

"Thanks...I can always count on you for fashion advice!"

"Duh, I am the school newspaper's fashion advisor!" We share a laugh before hanging up. I hurry into the bathroom and get ready.

3 hours later...

I'm waiting on my couch for Nick. I feel nervous but in a good way...I look at the clock in the kitchen, he should be here any moment. I hope I look ok...Ok don't stress out, you look great! The doorbell rings and suddenly I feel like jelly. The bell goes again and I quickly find my legs. Here goes

Ok you know the drill you read it you review it ^^ Merry Christmas!
