Miley's POV

Priyanka: Miley it's Priyanka

Priyanka: we need to talk. It's important.

"Oh fuck."

"What's wrong?" Leah asks me.

"Uh, Priyanka just texted me. She said she and I needed to talk and that it's important."

"Oh damn, is everything okay?"

"Well if it's about what I think it's going to be about then no, everything is not okay."

"Wanna talk about it?" I sigh and contemplate. To be honest I don't know what she wants to talk about but I have a feeling it's either about Nick being in Nashville with me or Bentley being Nick's son.

"No, not really." I answer.

"Okay, well do you wanna go then?"

"I don't want to but I should. I gotta go talk to her sooner rather than later. I wanna get this over with, whatever it is."

"Well for what it's worth, I had a good time."

"So did I, I'm really sorry I'm cutting our date short."

"Don't worry, it isn't like we can't see each other again. Maybe we can do a real date night soon." She replies as I get dressed.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome, good luck Miley."

"Thank you." I kissed her again before leaving. 

It pisses me off that I have to go talk to Priyanka. I know it's gonna be about Nick being in Nashville or Bentley being Nick's son. There isn't anything else she would wanna talk to me about. She and I don't get along, we never talk unless we have to. I just hope Nick will be gone with Luca and Aria while I'm there, I don't wanna fight with Priyanka in front of Nick or the kids. 

Once I got to Nick's house I knocked on the door. On the outside I looked calm, cool, and collected. On the inside I was freaking the fuck out. After a few seconds Priyanka opened the door, looking disgusted.

"Come in." She says blandly. I walked in and walked to the living room. She turned towards me and looked angry, as expected.

"So, what's so important you wanna talk to me about? I was on a date with Leah, it was kinda shitty of me to ditch her to talk to you."

"Are you just playing dumb? Or do you really not know because you are fucking dumb?"

"Can we just talk about this calmly like two adults?"

"Nick told me. I already knew but he told me anyway. Like he was rubbing it in my face, trying to make me jealous."

"You- you already knew? What do you mean by he was trying to make you jealous." I ask. Holy shit, how the fuck did she know?

"Yeah well it didn't work, I didn't fucking care that he went to Nashville with you." Oh thank God, I thought she was talking about Bentley. "But I do care that he's hanging out with you so much. Why the fuck does he wanna be at your house so much all of a sudden? He said it isn't anything I need to worry about but clearly he's lying to me. I know when Nick's lying to me Miley. So what is it? Why is he at your house all the fucking time?" I swallow nervously and take a deep breath. 

"Um, well- Nick uh- that's really up for Nick to tell you."

"Are you two fucking? Cause I'll-"

"No! God no! Priyanka I wouldn't do that to you. Yeah I know we don't get along but why would I destroy your marriage like that? I would never sleep with Nick. Nick and I are friends, best friends. That's it, that's all we are."
