A/N: WOW! Summer has been SOOOOOOO busy for me that I haven’t had time to update. Luckily, I am home now, and I have all the time I need to work on FanFiction. Well, not really, but you get the picture.

Thanks to alexlovesgerard93, RascalFlattsfan905, XOXzanessaXnileyXOX, xoxoAnnaxoxo, ttran59, and Pouring.My.Heart.OutxJul, (Who is my co-author. I should probably mention this before she kills me!) for all of their reviews!

Ring… Ring…Ring… Hello? A comforting voice answered.

“Nick, it’s Miley, can we talk?”

Chapter 2

“Sure Miley, what’s up?” Nick asked.

“I can’t tell you over the phone, is there a place we can meet somewhere?” Miley asked.

“Well yeah, why don’t you come over to my house for a little while, and you can talk to me all you want, okay?” Nick replied.

“O.K. then, I’ll meet you there in about 10 minutes.”

“Sounds good.”

After they hung up, Miley called her dad to let him know that she would be a little late. She didn’t want to tell him about Jake… not just yet. After all, he had warned her about Jake, and he had even said before the date that Jake might do this to her. She hoped that he wouldn’t ask why she wouldn’t be back on time. She went through some excuses in her head… stayed for dessert, got caught up in the moment, couldn’t pay the bill so they had to wash dishes, yeah, one of those would work.

Ring, Ring, Ring, Hello? Billy Ray Cyrus said.

“Hey Dad, it’s Miley, just letting you know that I’ll be home late.”

“O.K. Bud, but why?” he asked.

Aw, sweet nibblets! Why did he have to ask that?

“Well you see dad, we got caught up in the moment, and then we decided to order some dessert, and then Jake didn’t have his credit cards on him, so we have to wash some dishes to compensate for the meal.” Miley explained.

“Oh, well if that’s the problem, then I’ll just send some money down there,” Robbie said.

“NO!” Miley said a little to quickly. Then she realized what she had done and quickly said. “I mean, no you don’t need to do that! What kind of a father are you, not teaching his daughter the value of responsibility. After all, we didn’t have any money, and we have to make sure that doesn’t happen again.” She explained.

“Okay then, I’ll see you later.”

“Sounds good dad, I love you!”

“Love you too!”

They hung up their conversation, and Miley made her way to the Jonas’ house. When she got there, she was immediately greeted by Nick. He was asking about what was wrong, and if he needed to beat anyone up.

“Well you see, it’s about Jake,” Miley began.

“That BASTARD! What did he do? Did he rape you?” Nick almost shouted.

“No, he didn’t rape me, but he did break my heart. You see, when I got to the restaurant, I saw him there with another girl.” Miley said calmly, trying to hold back tears.

“WHAT? WHO?” Nick shouted.

“Mickayla,” Miley said through gritted teeth. Nick’s jaw just dropped. He knew about the whole “She’s Hannah Montana” thing, and at first he kind of liked Mickayla. Then, when he saw how badly she treated Miley, his respect for her sank like a giant rock in a city pool. It went down like Kirsty Allen’s weight after she started Jenny Craig. It sank like… well you get the idea. He didn’t like her.

“How could he do this to you?” Nick asked.

“Nick, he didn’t rape me,” Miley said.

“No, but he did cheat on you, and that’s almost as bad! I’m telling you now, if you don’t want me to do anything, I won’t. But, if you give me your permission, I would like to go over to his house and beat the crap out of him for you!”

“Aww, that’s sweet! And thanks, but no thanks. I’m going to try to solve this problem by just pretending like this never happened.”

Nick was disappointed. He really wanted to go over there and give Jake a piece of his mind. He cared about Miley too much to let some boy just break her heart like that, and he was disappointed that Miley wouldn’t let him go over to Mr. Pretty Boy’s house and give him a piece of his mind.

“Look, if you want to stay here tonight, you can. My parent’s won’t mind, and my brothers would love to see you again.”

“You know Nick, I just may be tempted to take you up on that offer.” Miley said, smiling. She hadn’t seen Nick in a while (Nine days, eight hours, forty minutes, and ten seconds, to be specific), and it would be good to catch up with the guys. She called her dad, explained that she would be spending the night over at the Jonas’ (along with what had happened at dinner. Let’s just say that Jake Ryan’s name was now considered MUD in the Stewart family household.)

“So, it’s settled. You’ll be staying here tonight.” Mr. Jonas said.

“Thank you Mr. Jonas, I’m sure this will help me catch up with the Brothers.” Miley replied. Of course, there was one specific brother that she wanted to really catch up with and talk to.

Nick.

A/N: Well, that was the chapter. Not 100 percent proud of it, but it’s all right. At least I updated! Review and I’ll mention you in the next chapter. Please?
