Miley’s p.o.v

Clearly, tonight has not been going like I expected or wanted it too. I just wanted to clear my head, and I thought that going to the studio would help. Once I saw Nick, everything in me shifted and now I was suddenly falling apart. I was so disconnected with my own feelings that I couldn’t tell left from right. Obviously he has moved on with his life or at least it seems. Olivia seems good for him…she seems to really help his image. Personally, I don’t like her and, I am almost positive, she doesn’t like me.

“What do you want to work on?” Mike asked walking into the booth. I followed him inside and sat down at the couch.

“I am not sure yet.” I sighed. “I loved how well Bangerz went, but I just don’t know what I want to do next.” I had so much on my mind, but I knew that I needed to change some things.

“Well, do you want to continue to shock people?” He asked sitting down next to me.

“I do…I think being ‘shocking’ is a part of my personality.” I smiled lightly. “But, I don’t think that I want to do pop/rap songs anymore. I am so tired of this image too…It fit for the time being, but it isn’t me. Bangerz album and tour was my release. I want to continue to shock people but in different ways.” I stood to my feet. I wanted to feel free to be myself. I have finally found part of the person that I really am and I am going to continue to find the rest of who I am whether I have the support or not.

“You mean with songs like Wrecking Ball and Drive?” He asked standing up next to me.

“Yeah, they bring something different to the table then ‘4x4’ and ‘Do My Thang’ do. I want to shock people by bring my true personality out without holding back. I want to be someone who wears there heart on their sleeve.” I sighed.

“Miley, I think that is great.” Mike said. “I understand, and I get it.” He assured. “I hope that I can help you find this new image that you are looking for.” He smiled down at me. I was grateful for all the support he has given me throughout the past few years.

“I think I am going to try and talk to Pharrell about it.” I said grabbing my phone.

“I am going to go over some tracks,” Mike said walking away.

I grabbed my phone and dialed Pharrells number. He always helped me get in touch with my feelings.

“Hey Miley!” He said answering the phone.

“Hey” I spoke up.

“What’s up?”

“Nothing much, I was wondering if we could get together and talk about my next album.”

“Hmm. Well, I will be in California next week. I will call you and we can meet up. Sound good?” He asked.

“That sounds great.” I said.

“How are things?” He was like a brother to me and I felt so lucky to have him in my life.

“Okay, I guess.” I sighed.

“That wasn’t really assuring.” He laughed lightly.

“Well, I would rather talk about this face-to-face.”

“Okay, call me if you want to talk…I will see you next week.” We said our goodbyes and hung up. I really didn’t want to talk to anyone about the emotions that were stirring inside me. I walked into the other room to talk with Mike.

“I don’t think you want to watch this.” Mike said changing the channel.

“What was it?” I asked grabbing the remote I flipped back to the channel he was on.

“Looks like Liam is enjoying his time while filming. He was spotted with an unknown woman at a party with friends in New Orleans. The two were all over one another, people nearby said they couldn’t keep their hands to themselves. I wonder if Miley is aware that her man is cheating on her. Sources say, that this wouldn’t be the first time Liam has cheated on her. I guess Miley doesn’t care that her man can’t stay faithful? Or was there whole relationship just for show? We will update you when we know more.” The news anchor said smiling from ear-to-ear. I felt my heart start beating faster and faster. My stomach turned in pain. They were right, this wasn’t the first time…I had thought things had changed, I guess I was wrong.

“I’m sorry” Mike said placing his hand on my shoulder.

“It doesn’t matter.” I breathed.

“It does, you deserve to be happy, and you deserve to be treated right.” He said standing to his feet.

“I know, but…” I sighed. “I will talk to him. You know how the media portrays things. This might not even be true.” I grabbed my phone.

“Before you let him talk his way out of this…you should look at the pictures.” Mike said showing me an article on his phone. There were pictures of Liam all over another woman.

“I care about you Miley, and I am looking out for you.” He sighed. I could tell that Mike was being sincere, he was such a humble and caring guy. I don’t know if Liam can talk his way out of this one.

“I think I am going to go home…” I said grabbing my things.

“Well, I have to go over a few things. Call me if you need me…” Mike said before I walked out of the room. I needed to get away, I needed to run away. I started running down the long hallway and around the corner, before I could stop myself I collide with someone.

“Fuck,” I screamed

“Oh god, Miley?” I looked over and saw Nick laying there.

“I’m sorry, I wasn’t looking and shit.” I started to standing up as I felt Nick’s hands helping me up.

“Are you okay?” He asked after I settled myself.

“As okay as I can be.” I sighed. “Here, let me help.” I grabbed Nick’s bag and grabbed some of the things that had fallen out.

“Sorry, I should have paid more attention to where I was doing.” I sighed giving him the rest of his things.

“It’s okay, just be careful.” He smiled. I smiled back and grabbed my purse and phone that had also fallen with me.

“I’ll try.” I laughed.

“Why were you running anyways?”

“Uhh, it’s sort of a long story…” I said shrugging my shoulders.

“I’ve got time, if you want to talk.” He said grabbing his guitar.

“Oh…okay.”

“How about we go back to my place? Its private and no one is there.” He suggested.

“Sure…” I nodded. I followed Nick out back and to his car. I followed him to his place in my car. I parked in his drive way and followed him inside.

“Welcome to my place.” He smiled holding the door open. I didn’t think about what I was doing until I was at his house. I knew that this wasn’t the smartest idea but, for some reason I didn’t care.
