STAY

Part one of two


Miley was lying in her bed, staring at the blank ceiling. She's wearing a familiar white v-neck shirt and sweat pants. Her hand was closed around the piece of dog tag hung around her neck. She just finished a sold-out concert somewhere in the east coast but she can't fall asleep, knowing someone will call her at this moment. Her phone rang and she quickly answered it.

"Baby..." his voice rang in her ear and she felt her heart leap.

"Nicky... I missed you", she replied.

Nick was silent for a while but finally spoke after few seconds, "I missed your voice, Mi... I miss you a lot."

Miley sighed. "Three more weeks and we'll have some time to spend the New Year together..."

"I know... ", Nick held his breath a bit and waited for her reply.

"This is torture..." Miley almost cried on the line with him but she kept it inside her.

"We'll be fine, Mi... ", Nick reassured her that everything will work out for them even though they're apart from each other.

"Yeah", Miley replied, very unsure of her answer.

Nick finally broke the tension, "Do you want to talk about something?"

Miley bit her lip to stop a sob escape from her lips, "Nah... I just needed to hear your voice. I can't sleep."

"Oh. I love you. You need to get some beauty rest." Miley felt relieved that he didn't push further about it.

Miley thought of an appropriate answer and the words flowed from her lips naturally. "I love you too, Nicky."

"Night miles"

"Night"

The call ended and Miley felt like crying. Not seeing Nick hurts a lot. It's the price to pay for going on concert tours. She stood up and walked in her hotel room and grabbed her guitar. She sat on her bed and strummed her guitar as the lyrics of her newly written song came out from her lips.

Well it's good to hear your voice
I hope you're doing fine
And if you ever wonder
I'm lonely here tonight
Lost here in this moment
Time keeps slipping by
If I could have just one wish
I'd have you by my side

She sang and played the song from the heart. She felt cold and she felt the need to see him.

Oooohh I miss you
Oooohh I need you
And I love you more than I did before
And if today I don't see your face
Nothing's changed, no one can take your place
It gets harder everyday
Say you love me more than you did before
And I'm sorry it's this way
But I'm coming home, I'll be coming home
And if you ask me I will stay, I will stay

She thought of the day they got into a fight.

*Flashback*

Miley dialed her boyfriend's number and called him.

"Hey Nick!"

"Oh, miles... Listen, I gotta call you back... I'm-"

"Fine, I get it, you're busy..."

"Miley..."

"Just shut up! I'm tired of excuses! Fine! I won't bother you and call you! I don't need you!"

Well I tried to live without you
But tears fall from my eyes
I'm alone and I feel empty
God, I'm torn apart inside

She ended the call and broke down in tears, realizing what she just did. Words that should not be spoken were spoken out of range.

I look up at the starts
Hoping you are doing the same
And somehow I feel closer
And I can hear you say

She tried to cry herself to sleep but it didn't work. It just made everything worse. Nick kept calling her till midnight but she won't answer her phone.

Oooohh I miss you
Oooohh I need you
And I love you more than I did before
And if today I don't see your face
Nothing's changed, no one can take your place
It gets harder everyday
Say you love me more than you did before
And I'm sorry it's this way
But I'm coming home, I'll be coming home
And if you ask me I will stay, I will stay, I'll always stay

She gave up and answered after a while. They told each other how sorry they were and Miley smiled at how forgiving Nick is.

*End of Flashback*

I never wanna lose you
and if I had to I would choose you
so stay, please always stay
you're the one that I hold on to
my heart would stop without you

Miley felt her heart breaking when she had flashbacks of the days that she and Nick were happily hanging out in her room, totally missing their bonding moments.

Tears poured from her eyes as she kept strumming and singing...

I love you more than I did before
And if today I don't see your face
Nothing's changed, no one can take your place
It gets harder everyday
Say you love me more than you did before
And I'm sorry that it's this way
But I'm coming home, I'll be coming home
And if you ask me I will stay, I will stay, I'll always stay
And I love you more than I did before
And I'm sorry that it's this way
But I'm coming home, I'll be coming home
And if you ask I will stay, I will stay, I will stay

She placed the guitar against the wall then she pulled Nick's jacket from her drawer and she held it close as she lay back on the comfy mattress. She picked up her cell and called Nick, her medicine.

"Hello?"

"Nicky?"

Miley's voice cracked.

"Baby? Are you okay?"

"Can you sing me to sleep? Please?"

"Sure sweetie, but is there something wrong? I know you're crying, Mi."

"I miss you..."

It was barely audible but he heard it.

"I'm sorry it has to be this way, Mi."

"I-it's oka-ay. Just help me fall asleep..."

"I love you..."

Nick started singing for his one and only love. It's the only thing he can do to make her feel alright. Miley smiled as he heard his lovely voice... She was very contented and her breathing started to turn to normal and her cries subsided. She closed her eyes as she took in his amazing voice and let him bring her to sleep.
