Miley’s POV

“Hey Miley,” Liam said answering his phone.

“Hey,” I spoke up. I hadn’t talked to him in a long time, and I was starting to worry about things. He was all the way across the world, and I was in California. “How are things over there?” I asked ending the silence between the two of us. Things are always awkward when we are talking over the phone.

“Great, I fly out to finish filming the movie soon. How are things now that you are back home? I’m sure you are already missing tour.” He asked picking up on the small talk.

“Okay, I guess. I have been spending a lot of time with the dogs. And of course, catching up on much needed sleep.” I half laughed. “But, I do miss being on tour.” I sighed. Now that Bangerz tour was over I had to face reality.

“Of course.” He laughed along with me. “Staying away from the parties, I hope?”

“Well, I do need to keep up my appearances.” I laughed lightly. “I am focusing more on music then I am partying.” I sighed.

“I know. I should get going, I’ll call you later.” He said before hanging up. He was distant, but that is understandable. We are practically worlds apart.

I got up and walked to the back yard. Being by myself was something that I was used to, and something that I enjoyed. It just, it wasn’t always like this.

Liam and I weren’t perfect, in fact…we were far from it. It was sad to think that I hadn’t even seen Liam in months. It seem that he wasn’t in any hurry to see me either. What was happening to us? I felt like I didn’t even know him anymore.

I didn’t want to break up, I just wanted to feel something. But, Liam…wasn’t giving me anything to feel anymore. He didn’t even seem to care. We said that we loved each other, but…I didn’t feel the love. There was nothing but emptiness between the two of us.

I remember when I first meet him. I had been single for a while, and I wasn’t looking for anything serious. Liam was nice, and he seemed to just want to be friends. Then things picked up…after we finished filming the movie, we didn’t want to stop being friends. So Liam asked me to become his girlfriend. We felt a different type of connection and we wanted to see how far it could grow. When we became a couple things changes, our lives didn’t just stop moving so we could be together. It was hard, we both had our careers on the line.

A year turned into three years fast. I didn’t regret it, I just wish that things would have turned out differently. I care for Liam, and I know that he cares for me. It suddenly seemed that my best friend had turned into a stranger. I didn’t like it, I wanted to go back when things were different and simpler. I wish I had never agreed to marry him.

I’m not happy. I don’t even remember the last time I was even happy.

I got on twitter and looked at what was new and trending. I needed something to distract me.  

‘Niley’ and ‘Wedding Bells’ were trending. Nick…I hadn’t heard from him in a long time. I had heard a while back that Nick had wrote a song about me, but I never took an interest in listening to it. I went to YouTube and found the song. For a while I contemplated playing it. I don’t really want to go through this, I don’t want to feel the overwhelmingly sad emotions. But, I knew that I wanted to feel something.

The beat of the song filled my ears. It sounded smooth, and different. Was it bad that I already liked it? My heart started to grow heavy once I heard his voice.

‘Pardon my interruption,’ Nicks voice echoed through my head phones. His voice was always soothing. I know it was terrible that I was thinking about Nick like this, especially when I am engaged. I just couldn’t help myself. I listened to the whole song and found tears flowing down my face. I missed him.

Memories of Nick flowed through my mind. We used to be so close, closer than I had been with anyone including Liam. I couldn’t do this, I had to get past this. I was supposed to marry Liam, and that is what I was going to do. I needed a better distraction. I decided to call Mike and go into the studio, music was the perfect distraction.

Nick’s POV

“Hey baby,” Olivia smiled over at me as she walked into the studio.

“What are you doing here?” I asked standing to my feet.

“I wanted to see you.” She smiled.

“I need to focus on my music right now-“

“I know. I just, I was-“

“Worried?” I asked raising my eye brows. I already knew the answer to that question. She has been acting strange ever since Miley returned to town and it was driving me crazy.

“Yes, and I think that I have every right too.” She said looking away.

“Olivia, I already told you… You have nothing to worry about.” I smiled down at her. I kissed her cheek before walking away.

“This one is available, hope it is to your liking.” A man spoke up. I turned and faced the door and saw three people walk into the room.

“Excuse me, I rented out the room for the whole day.” I said walking towards the door.

“No, this room was rented out yesterday.” The man said looking at his clip board. I sighed and looked behind him, Miley and Mike were standing there.

“Miley?” I asked looking right at her. She looked up at me, and then looked at Mike.

“Uh, hello.” Olivia spoke up wrapping her arm around my waist. I rolled my eyes inwardly and looked at the guy with the clip board.

“Tony, is there another room that I can use? Nick is using this one.” She spoke up looking at the guy holding the clip board.

“Well, I do have one opening. Top floor okay?” He asked looking at her.

“That sounds great.” She said and he led the way.

“Good seeing you both.” Miley said before following them out of the room.

“I think you know why I am worried.” Olivia sighed.

“Miley is engaged, you don’t have anything to worry about.” I said looking at her. “I need to get back to work, I will see you later.” I said walking away.

“Okay,” She said before walking out of the room.

I understood why Olivia felt this way, but I was fine. Miley was engaged and I was in a relationship with Olivia. There was nothing to worry about.
