Nick's POV

Dallas, Texas.

Finally the last show came around, the concert in Atlanta wasn't anything memorable and to me in ended quickly probably because I didn't have to take care of any stupid issues with Miley.

Or it's mostly because I slept half of the day when I was in Atlanta. What can I say? I've been deadly tired handling Miley and I could finally get some rest. I also couldn't be more excited today since I'm finally going home and going to see Olivia.

When I couldn't come to Rhode Island I sent her a hundred sorry texts and even left her voice messages because she wouldn't answer, I thought she was undeniably pissed at me but she finally called me back.

I apologized, I begged, I countlessly told her I love her. She wasn't acting so cold though, she actually sounded like she's upset for making me feel so guilty.

'You're off the hook for not coming to Rhodes,' She said that day 'I was being too demanding, I asked you to do something that could damage your career, I was selfish for expecting you to just leave your tour when so many people are counting on you and I'm sorry, but that doesn't mean things are behind us.'

'I know, I promise I'll make it up to you, babe.' I replied but she wasn't finished, and then she told me that when I'm done with tour we really need to talk about this and I promised I will. I actually couldn't wait to make up all the shitty things I did to her and treat her better, I know I wont let her down this time.

"So when we get to LA," Cory spoke as he entered the room while I was busy with my suitcase "I need you to fix things with Miley because I want the world to talk about you guys again, also because I want you to release that new single and we need to low-key promote it by bringing Miley around."

"I remember." I said simply.

"You know I want everyone to be like 'Look, there's new pictures of Nick and Miley. He has a new single, wanna hear it?'" He continued.

"I get it." I muttered.

"I know you do, but I'm reminding you. And when you see her please try not to piss her off." He said pleadingly.

"It depends on her behaviour." I said.

"Well, her behaviour depends on your behaviour," He shrugged and I glared at him.

"I think it'll be fine," I told him and continued to pack the rest of my things. When I overheard her conversation with Olivia the other day when she told her she didn't want to believe Patrick would do that to her, I thought that means she accepted the fact that he cheated on her, doesn't it?

I bet they're broken up by now. Good for her. This also means I'll have one last thing to worry about, I knew he wasn't a great influence on Miley and something just tells me he keeps pushing her over the line. Now that he's hopefully gone--and I honestly expect him to be gone--It'll be easier for me to keep an eye on her.

"Nick can you wrap it up? The car's waiting outside." Cory said, glancing up from his phone. I nodded quickly and threw the rest of my stuff in before zipping the suitcase up "Let's go," I announced. I can't wait to see Olivia again.

Los Angeles (3 hours later)

"Cory," I said quietly as we head down the airport escalator, heaving my suitcase and backpack "I can't go back to her house tonight. I'm too tired, besides its 12 pm, I'm going to rest and go there tomorrow."

"I wasn't expecting you to go there right away anyway, Champ." He said "Also, don't worry. Take all the time you need. But not too long, we need to get you two love birds back in the spotlight."
