Say Something - A Great Big World

MILEY'S POV

"Miley, I need you to do something," Nick calls me up and tells me.

"Nick... I can't."

I was tired of his meet ups and games and mindlessly taking me here and there.

"No, I don't think you wouldn't like this. I'm finally letting it all go."

Letting it all go? I could hear his defeated voice as he says the point of this whole conversation.

"Miles, I'm sorry for all these years that I've treated you like garbage. But... I've come to the conclusion that... I need a divorce."

What the hell had Nick just said? I can't even think of how he quit upon us so easily.

"Nick... We can work this out."

"Miley, I've tried alot. I can't get you to want me again. Sorry. But I have Selena here and while being with her, we can't work. I love Sel."

The last sentence felt like daggers in my heart. He was giving up so soon? I couldn't believe this.

I just hummed a yes/no answer and hung up. Tears soon started trickling down my face. Why was I crying if I didn't have feelings for him? Why did it hurt so much? Why was I sad that he was giving up on us? I had done that several years ago.

Yet, it felt like the same again. To be ripped apart. I wonder what Niley would think. I know it was best for her to not know who her dad was and how he went away but I know that in the future, she is going to be heartbroken and feel betrayed. She might feel that I couldn't trust her enough on this. I couldn't let that happen to her.

I promised myself that I would tell Niley about it all when the right time comes.

I had to pretend like I was cool with everything. Because everyone had moved on from my heartbreak and I didn't want to cut open the same wounds.

I can't do this anymore.

NICK'S POV

I didn't have the guts to tell Miley that it wasn't working out. But seeing Selena's sad face caused me to think about such an event which couldn't have been possible so many years ago. Divorced? Miley and I?

Even though we were separated, this meant a huge deal. It signified that I had no ties with Miley Jonas. She would just be Miley Cyrus again.

MILEY'S POV

I couldn't sleep the whole night. There was nothing to think about yet I lay there alone, stoned.

In the morning, I lifted my tired body up and went to grab the newspaper and check the mail.

A strange envelope lay inside the mailbox. I checked the name of the sender behind the envelope and "Nick Jonas" was written in bold letters.

I went into the kitchen and ripped open the little rectangular piece of paper. The divorce pages spilled out.

Nick had already signed them. Why was he in such a hurry?

I took out a pen and read all the formalities. Nick was demanding Niley as custody but I couldn't let that happen. What had he even done in the past years to support her?

Without signing, I called up my husband.

"How could you even do this?"

"Do what?" He asks, clueless.

"You demand Niley as custody?"

"I want to be there for her after all these years. I want to mend my ways."

"Listen up, you low flying ass. You didn't even bother to be there for her, why take her away from me now? As it is, you're a stranger to her. She doesn't even know Nick fucking Jonas is her dad!"

"What, Mom?" I hear Niley whisper from behind me.
