So Close Yet So Far (Chapter 41)

Two in one day? I know crazy. i'm bored and i felt like posting more so i am lol. i should study for my latin test later this week but my brain is in so much pain from doing calculus for the past 4 hours. anyway, so i don't like poptarts lol, so i don't have a favorite. I have a strange aversion to almost every kind of "breakfast food" like if it's traditionally eaten for breakfast chances are I don't like it. I only like a few kinds of cereal, bagels, and muffins. the only time i eat other breakfast food is on Christmas morning cause it's tradition in my family to eat a big breakfast. but i'm lucky to have H&H bagels a block away from my house, their bagels are like world famous and they're AMAZING, so i normally eat that for breakfast. more than you needed to know but whatever, i felt bad about not having a favorite poptart. make sure you've read 40! like i said two in one day!

{Nick's P.O.V.}
I was almost caught off guard by the fact that she picked up. She had either ignored me or hung up on me every one of the 100 other times I had called. I almost didn't know what to say. "Hey," I managed to respond.
"So..."
"Listen, Rebecca, I'm really sorry if I hurt your feelings."
"If? IF you hurt my feelings? Nick, of course you hurt my feelings!"
"Okay, but I really didn't know."
"Yeah, because every time I tried to talk to you, you kept bringing up Miley!"
"I know..."
"Look, I'm glad things worked out with you and Miley, and I really am happy for you and am happy you're happy. But I can't do this. I can't be reminded of it everyday. So I'm sorry but I can't be your best friend right now."
"Rebecca, please, I don't wanna lose you."
"I'm sorry," she said, and I could hear her crying. Before I could say anything else, she hung up.
I screamed and threw my phone down on the bed. Then I collapsed down on the bed. I sat there for a few minutes before I took out my guitar and some paper. Then the song just came:

Broken hearts and last goodbyes
restless nights but lullabies
help to make this pain go away
I realize I let you down
told you that I'd be around
Building up the strength just to say

I'm sorry for breaking all the promises
That I wasn't around to keep
It's on me
This time is the last time I will ever beg you to stay
But you're already on your way

Filled with sorrow, filled with pain
knowing that I am to blame
for leaving your heart out in the rain
and I know you're gonna walk away
and leave me with the price to pay
before you go I wanted to say that...

That's when there was a knock on the door, and then Miley walked in. I quickly hid the unfinished song. She walked over and sat down next to me. "Writing a song?" she asked.
"No, just messing around some," I lied, putting the guitar down.
"Hon, are you okay?" she asked, taking my hand.
"Yeah, what would make you think I wasn't?"
"Something's been bothering you the past couple of days."
"No, it's hasn't..."
"Nick, come on, I know you better than to believe that."
"All right, well, it's just me and my best friend, Riley's sister, are kind of in a fight, or more like she doesn't want to talk to me ever again."
"You really like her, don't you?"
That surprised me. "What?"
"Look, Nick, you obviously really like this girl if she's making you so upset."
"No, no, she's just been my best friend since I was a toddler."
"What's she so upset about then?"
"Oh um." I wasn't sure how I was gonna explain my way out of this one. "Okay, truth is, she's been trying to tell me that she likes me, and I kept talking about you."
"Nick, don't get me wrong, I love being with you, but even now, watching you talk about her, I can tell you're meant to be with her, and I don't wanna come between that."
"What? Miles, no."
"No, this is what's right. So get her back, and we can be friends, okay?"
"But Miley, I really like you."
"I know, and I like you too. But no matter how much you like me, you're still gonna like Rebecca more, and I couldn't live with myself if I was the reason you two weren't together." She got up, bent over, and kissed me one last time. Then she started to leave.
"Miley!" I called, standing up. She turned to me, and I could see the pain in her face. "I'm so sorry."
She shook her head. "Don't be." Then she walked out.

aww Miley lol. sorry it's not a cliff, but i just really felt like posting again. but will Nick be able to get Rebecca back?
Comment and rate! how about we try 20 comments between this and 40? (obviously counting the same people commenting on both lol) I do have school tomorrow (I had today off) and then i have an orthodontist appointment (ugh) so it won't be till later probably. anyway.
okay, new question, hmmm. how about: what kind of cell phone do you have and what's your ring tone? haha sorry it's kinda pathetic, seriously give me questions...
