The Way I Loved You-WTLGD2

Tell Me How You Really Feel

-Nick’s POV-

3:30 AM

As I laid bed with Bailey passed out on my shoulder, I stared at the ceiling unable to sleep. I couldn’t stop thinking about Miley, but unlike times in the past where thoughts of her kept me awake ,my thoughts were angry and hurt. Unable to lay still anymore I slid out of bed being careful not to wake B and snuck downstairs to the media room to sort out some thoughts.

Grabbing a notebook from the bench, I sat down at the piano before resting my hands on the keys. No matter what had been going on in my life, music had always been there and this time would be no different. I was so angry with Miley and part of me didn’t know why. I had every right to be pissed at her for hooking up with my older brother the day we went our separate ways, but that wasn’t even really what was keeping me up at night…

(Miley) Hey.

(Nick) Hey. What are you doing up at this hour?

(Miley) Probably the same thing you were. I couldn't sleep...

(Nick) Miley...

(Miley) No Nick, don’t Miley me, I know you too well for you to pretend that something isn’t bothering you and I want to know what it is... If you're going to be pissed, then be pissed. Don't push your feelings away just because you want to spare mine. I'm a big girl, I can take it…tell me…tell me you’re pissed.

(Nick) *sighs and runs a hand through his curls* FINE, I’m pissed.

(Miley) *slightly shocked* oh… *takes a seat on the couch pulling her knees up to her chest with a sigh*

(Nick) *stands from the bench and walks over taking a seat next to Miley* it’s…it’s not about you and Joe…

(Miley) then what is it? What did I do?

(Nick) *sighs* that’s just it Miles…you didn’t DO anything…we broke up and you just went on as if it didn’t affect you…I mean, you got with Joe the same day??

(Miley) I thought you said this wasn’t about Joe and I…besides you got with Livie the same day!

(Nick) it’s not about you and Joe…if you are happy with him then I am happy for you guys, I know he has liked you for a long time, he just stayed away for my sake…it’s the fact that you started dating ANY guy the same day we broke up…and I didn’t ‘get’ with Livie that day, we kissed, that was it…in fact we didn’t get together until after the song released….which brings me to another thing that has been bothering me…

(Miley) *frustrated sigh* what

(Nick) you showed up here after just disappearing with this big explanation about how you were on the video set crying over me and wearing my shirt blah blah blah and you claim that’s how the director got my shirt and everything but if you were with Joe already why the hell were you crying over me? And if you were so sad…why didn’t you call and talk to me about it? Was it because you were too busy sneaking calls to him instead? Or was the whole story just a lie so I wouldn’t kick you out of the house when you showed up here after lyrically bitchslapping me for the whole world to see.

(Miley) WOW Nicholas, tell me how you really feel…

(Nick) you asked

(Miley) first of all it wasn’t a lie, I was crying over you and I still do sometimes. I realize that I am with Joe and I was then as well but I was really sad about us ending the way that we did and never getting to talk things out afterward. Part of it was because B and Sam broke up and we got distracted and part of it was maybe because I felt guilty at the time about what happened with Joe but mostly the reason I avoided it was because I was hurt and I just didn’t want to say anything mean and fuck things up just before I left for the movie…
