Publicity

12

quick note; this chapter is so packed and jumps to one situation to another so quickly, the reason is because I need to get this over with to continue the story and this chapter doesn't really matter, it's not anywhere near the climax of the story, I just need Nick and Miley to hurry and announce their relationship in here in order to get to the drama, so I apologize if this overwhelms you xxx

Miley's POV

"I asked a few friends to come." I announced, clicking my seat belt off and pushing my sunglasses up to my forehead.

"You did?" Nick responded calmly, but he sounded a little disappointed.

"Yeah, well, It'll make it look more casual." I replied, glancing at Nick who looked a little nervous. "My friends aren't tigers, Nick. Chill."

He turned to me "No, it's fine. I'm just nervous about the kiss."

"Just follow my lead." I softly scoffed, he's been so 'nervous' or 'distracted' these past few days ever since we kissed at Nobu and I hadn't got an idea why, I eventually got tired of his whiny ass.

I climbed out the car, flaunting my legs to the hungry paparazzi in my jean shorts, a vintage chanel blouse floated around me as I walked into the entrance; I heard Nick following me over the sound of my sneakers hitting the sidewalk.

"Hey, girl!" I heard my friend, Lisa called me when she spotted me, Cheyne was sitting next to her, the tall Pinkberry canopy shield them from the stinging sunlight. They looked excited and relieved to see me, but their smiles slowly faded, I looked behind me to see what they're looking at...Nick.

He didn't seem to notice--or pretend to not notice their obvious stare, he caught up to me and we sat on either side of Lisa and Cheyne. I turned to Nick instantly before he could introduce himself with his annoying cheesy attitude. "Hey, will you order me a small FroYo with kiwi and peaches?" I said to him sweetly, he seemed startled.

"I, uh, sure." He replied, turning to Lisa and Cheyne "Do you guys want anything?"

"Nope," They said in unison almost immediately, Lisa raised her eaten yogurt, gesturing to the fact that she already ordered

"Okay, I'll be right back." He said softly and I only replied with a smile. I watched him disappear into the store and I turned back to my friends.

"We thought it wasn't true!" Cheyne instantly said "Oh my God!"

"Didn't he cheated on you?!" Lisa chimed in.

"And weren't you seeing Patrick?!"

"I literally thought this was a joke!"

"I, like, cannot believe my goddamn eyes when I saw the news!"

"And didn't he had a girlfriend?"

"Seriously, Girl, what's gotten into you?!"

"Shut the fuck up!" I snapped at them "It's pub-"

I stopped in my sentence and stared at the both of them in disbelief, acting like I was outraged at them, when really I suddenly remembered what Cory said about not telling anyone. "He's...he's right for me."

"Right for you?! Miley, are you kidding me?!" Lisa demanded.

"You don't know him." I tried to defend him as if I was really dating him "He's changed. And you guys know me, I wouldn't let him back if he's still a cheating scumbag. Believe me."

"We just don't want you hurt." Lisa continued.

"Don't worry about that, okay? And he's really sweet, you'll see."
