Nick's POV

I never imagined to be in this situation. I had sex in the backseat of a car several hours after I slept with a different girl.

Worst part is I never imagined Miley would be in this situation with me.

I hadn't found the right words to explain to her that she doesn't deserve to be treated like this. I'm hoping that I could find a way out of this soon enough so I dont have to tell her.

It'll be easier for her. For us.

I always keep on thinking I was never good enough for her no matter how hard I tried.

But even if those words never left my mouth she would say things to reasure me, like she knew what I was thinking.

Part of me still wishes we could stay as acquaintances because that way I know I would never end up hurting her.

But my heart aches for her. It wants me to be closer to her and just love her. And, like I promised before, I would look out after her. I'll keep her away from the danger just like how she did with me.

"You're not a dick," She told me before kissing me again. I almost flinched because I need her to listen.

"Miles, I slept with two different girls In the last 12 hours," I said. "There's no denying what I am,"

She was silent for a while, but finally shook her head slowly. "That doesnt define who you are," She said, raising her lips close to my ear.

"I'm a bad guy," I said, ignoring her.

"Not intentionally," She added.

"I could've stop myself from giving into Olivia, but I didn't." I continued.

"What you did was to protect the secrecy of our relationship, wasn't it?" She said, cudding closer to me.

She didnt wait for my respond and continued "You're not a bad guy, not to me."

I pressed my lips againts her forehead. "You're the only one that matters," I whispered after.

She sighed againts my cheek, her breath feels like the crisp morning air, It woke me up in the best way.

I closed my eyes and just inhaled her scent, taking her into me, since I know I wont get to stay with her through the night, might as well keep a piece of her.

I want to stay forever like this in this warm embrace, feeling her soft skin againts mine, the whole atmosphere is just the two of us.

The real world is so cruel that they seperated us, and society treats you like you're not even a human being when you tried to be honest.

At least in our own little world we can be free, we can unravel our masks and just reveal ourselves.

And I can't help but think that it's just with Miley, she never lets me down, never lets the outside world gets to us and try to break us apart.

Best part is she just accepts me. All of me.

Miley shifted from my grip,making me look at her.

"Nick, I think we should go home," She suggested, pulling the blanket closer to her. "It's getting dark,"

I turned my head around and looked over the car cushion to see the sky in a perfect mixture of orange and yellow.

I turned back to her with a smile across my lips. "Wanna stay a few more minutes to see the sunset?" I asked, wrapping my arms tighter.

"They say it's romantic," I continued and she chuckled softly.

"As long as I get to spend a few extra minutes with you," She said before pulling herself up from the seat.

I followed her and cuddled her next to me, She tugged on the blanket to cover her chest.

I threw my right arm on her shoulders and she rested her head againts my bare chest.

She wrapped her hands around my waist and snuggled closer to me. The moment fell silent as we gazed out to the sunset.

I looked over to her and pressed my lips againts her cheek, causing her to look back at me. "Nick, do you ever wish that the sun would just stay there on the horizon," She said "And the day would turn into night?"

I shook my head lightly "No," I replied "Why?"

"I thought maybe, If the sun never would set then we also could stay forever like this," She replied, her every word was laced in hope.

I gazed into her and broke into a smile. "We will," I said, tracing my fingers through her messy hair. "And we don't need to bring along the sun,"

She pressed her lips againts my collarbone, and started to trail kisses on my neck, She laced our fingers together and I just inhaled the whole moment.

The orange sky slowly melted into a darker shade as the sun begin to disappear. Miley breathed againts my neck as I pressed my lips againts her forehead, slower this time.

The only thing we could hear are our own breathing as we hoped for the moment to stay and not pass or wither like anything else.

A few lights started to lit up the now indigo sky, and I knew that in a few short minutes the sky will lost it beautiful shade and it would be hidden behind all the lights.

And as I sat there, gazing at the sky and holding Miley in my arms, I came to realization that sometimes the things that are beautiful are forced to be hidden behind somethings that are brighter.

I glanced over at Miley, putting everything together. We're the beautiful sky and those lights keeping us from being seen are the life we're leading now.

But I bet if those lights go down for just a moment it would reveal all the twinkling stars. Just like if we stop the hiding for a second we could ignite the night with the light that came with us, instead of the light that have been given to us.

But we could never be as bright, and we'd only bring misfortune.

That summed us up really well.

Miley glanced back at me and nudged my cheek with the tip of her nose. "What are you thinking?" She asked, noticing how I have been glancing to her and back to the sky repeatedly.

I shook my head lightly. "We should go home," I replied. She nodded as she started to pick up her clothes from around the cramped back seat.

And the whole time I watched her, just struggling with her clothes, as she glances towards me to see if I was peeking.

She pulled her shorts back and turned to me. "Do I need to hide under the blanket again?" She asked.

I let out a small chuckle as I leaned into her to give her a kiss. "I'm afraid so," I mumbled before pressing my lips againts her.

She threw her hands around me, and lifted her mouth to my ear and she finally whispered. "I'd do anything just to be with you,"
