Into the Storm (Niley forever)

Chapter 2

Milley POV

My rehearsal starts at 10 am so I leave the house by 9. I don't want to wake up Liam so I shower and get ready in the guest bathroom. As I am in the car, I am sitting in the backseat because I have realized that I am a horrible driver, my driver congratulates me for my engagement to Liam.

"Thank you so much,"  I say back to him, but I think he heard how half-heartedly I said it and did not say another word for the rest of the ride.

As I reached my rehearsal studio, all of my dancers, choreographers, and people who worked there came up to me saying, "congratulations" and "you two will be so happy together." I couldn't get out of there fast enough, and luckily, my bodyguard came to my rescue and dispersed the crowd that had formed around me. 

Time passed quickly as I perfected the dance steps to Party in the USA. Soon it was already 3 pm and I was performing in less than 5 hours and I overheard one of the dancers saying that Nick Jonas was also performing. Memories came rushing back of the 2 of us. He was my first love, boyfriend, and the one I thought I would spend the rest of my life with. I hope we don't bump into each other because I do not know what I would even say to him. I look at the time and realize I have to change and start heading to the venue. I knew I had to go with Liam but sometimes I wished that I could just go with my Nick, the man I truly love, however, I knew that wasn't possible so I made my way back to my house.

Liam POV

I am waiting for Miley to come home so we can leave together for the VMAs. This will be our debut red carpet as an engaged couple. I just have to make sure that we don't bump into and Jonases on the carpet or in our seats. Finally, Miley arrives. We hop into the Limo and just sit in silence for a few minutes. Luckily, she broke it by saying,

"You probably will not be allowed backstage while I am getting ready to go on stage"

"Yeah, I guess, but just know your biggest fan will be in the crowd." I know she is trying to push me away. It is only because of her that I have over 50 million followers on Instagram so I cannot lose her under any circumstances. I'll just have to make sure that before and after her performance she is right beside me at all times. "Miley?"

"Yeah, Liam." She sounds as if her mind is on something else but I just have to continue. She needs to know how I feel even if she doesn't feel the same way

"You know that you are the love of my life, and I will always be with you. Through the thick and thin, bumpy and smooth, I am going to stay through everything. It's you and I forever." 

She doesn't say anything. She just looks out of the window at the passing people on the streets.

Miley POV

I felt a bit bad for being so harsh towards Liam. I know that he wants me to stay with him and he wants me to love him the way he loves me but I just don't know if I can. I just need to be who I am and I don't think I can be that way with him. I have to tell him, but not tonight. I can't make a big scene right before I perform. I have been apart of so many controversies and scandals that I can't ruin another big event. Just as we were turning around the corner, I whisper, 

"I love you too," and give him a kiss. I know it was fake but I never want to hurt Liam. 

Finally, I pull away and we look into each other's eyes for a few moments, before I look outside to see crowds of paparazzi and fans standing by the carpet. I start to think of Nick again. How we were so naive and young when we were started dating at the age of 13. I remember I loved him with all of my heart but he broke it like it meant nothing to him. At least with Liam I never have to worry about my heart being broken. 

Liam POV

I had no words except the thought that she might actually love me. I have never truly loved her. My love for her just shows how good an actor I am. But I cannot be all lovey-dovey with her all the time. To be honest, it is exhausting faking being in love all the time, but I know that if we break up my celebrity status will be ruined. If we break up I will no longer get jobs or actor roles. 

When we broke up for that brief period of time, it was like I was forgotten. For those 2 years, from 2013-2015, I got no roles in any movie or tv series. I know it is selfish but why else would I have cheated on her other than to get talked about. I thought I would get more jobs but I was so wrong. I got 3 movie opportunities from the time we were together but then they all went away when I was with someone of lower status than her. 

I guess somewhere in my heart I do love her, but it is not the kind of, I want to be with you forever love. It is the more selfish love that if you play right, you will get everything you want. And luckily, she is so naive and so gullible that she will go along with my plan. She will never let me go because she could never hurt me. I know just how to play her and make sure that she never leaves me. I just need to make sure she does not find anyone else that will push her to leave.
