Present

Miley's POV

Screams were filling my ears as I am standing at the end of the catwalk. The only lights that surround me were the lights of the glow sticks being swung around. I could hear the crowd slowly shutting out of my head, and my heart beat racing. The microphone under my grasp, and my ex behind me, or whatever he was now.

The music started, and the spotlights started to move around, not yet hitting me.

I know this isn't what I wanted

I never thought it come this far

Just thinking back to where we started

And now we lost all that we are

The words burned my throat as I sang them, remembering what happened that night.

"We aren't the same as we were before, things have just changed" Nick said to me, we were standing in a room that was opened. The only door opened in the backstage area, and it was for fresh air to come through. That cold night in December brought a mist of rain to us, making me shiver. But that wasn't what made me shiver, or what bothered me the most. It was the fact that we were both changing and heading in different paths.

Nick came down the catwalk with his microphone; I freeze as he stands so close I can feel him. He looks at me and smiles, turns towards the audience.

We were young and times were easy

But I could see it's not the same

I'm standing here but you don't see me,

I'd give it all for that to change

But I don't want to lose her

Don't wanna let her go

We were thirteen when we meet, and within weeks we knew each others whole life story. I told him things that I wouldn't tell a soul, and that's how I knew for sure that he was truly my soul mate. He was at the beginning of his career, and I was already a household name. I can remember my dad telling me to be careful. That I didn't know if he was using me for a rise of fame. But I knew Nick better than that. Things were so easy for us, we hung out with each other twenty-four/ seven. We were one of those couples that everyone wanted to be like. My family and his friends loved him and his family.

But something changed, and suddenly the dream we were in faded to black. Everything that we worked for just disappeared into the mist that night.

Standing out in the rain,

Need to know if it's over

'Cuz I will leave you alone

I'm flooded with all this pain

Knowing I'll never hold her

Pain hit my heart, and I held it as I felted the lyrics with him.

Like I did

Before the Storm

My mind clouded with happy memories, the only thing is that they were recent. And that's what made me so confused and…hopeful

"My turn" Nick laughed and pressed the pedal down and the Jet Ski started to escape from the shore. I screamed and held onto him, my arms wrapped around his chest. Something I missed secretly. He weaved, and rode the waves. I laid my head on his back and watched the scene flash by us. I later felt the Jet Ski stop and I lifted my head.

"Comfortable?" He asked me smiling and not that one smile that he uses for show, the true genuine smile.

"Very" I nodded biting my lip at how close we were, and how at home it made me feel.

With every strike of lightening

Comes a memory that lasts

I look at him as he looks at me, too intense. I turn around and bring the microphone to my mouth and start to sing with him, while walking down to the stage.

And not a word is left unspoken

As the thunder starts to crash

And maybe I should give up

"You don't want anyone to know that were dating. Do you know how frustrating it is to hide a two year relationship?" I cried that night "I can't keep us a secret anymore"

Standing out in the rain,

Need to know if it's over

'Cuz I will leave you alone

I reached the microphone stand and placed it in, and watched as Nick made his way to where the other microphone stand was.

I'm flooded with all this pain

Knowing I'll never hold her

Like I did

Before the Storm

I grabbed the stand with one hand and his dog tag that laid on my neck. I closed my eyes and sang my part.

Trying to keep the lights from going out

Nick had brought his sand next to mine and collide his voice with mine.

And the clouds from ripping out my broken heart

They always say

That heart is not a home

Without the one who gets you through the storm

I'll be the first to admit it was hard at first to be friends, but once we got past that stage we became as close as we were before. Hanging out, becoming just as close as we were something that means a lot to me. He will always be my first love. As corny as this may sound, he completes me. He makes me smile to the point that I makes me cry, makes the butterflies flutter from just a touch, and never let's me feel down on myself.

Standing out in the rain

Knowing that it's really over

Please don't leave me alone

I'm flooded with all this pain

I looked down when I felt my hand being taken, and saw as Nick intertwined with his. He didn't look over at me, just grabbed his microphone from the stand.

Knowing I'll never hold ya

Like I did

Before the Storm

I tightened his grip and he finally looked over at me. And I took over and started to sing

Like I did

He took a deep breath and joined me

Before the Storm

We lifted the microphones down and we continued to stare at each other

"I know I messed up and I know we've been through a lot. But I promise you that I will never hurt you again" Nick said just loud enough for me to hear "I want for us to happen again, I want to make you my girl"

I felt the mike drop from my hand and the audience fell silent, as the screech filled the air. The silence left my thoughts to fill my mind. I didn't know what I wanted, I looked around but my eyes weren't able to stay away from his.

It all came down to my gesture.

I nodded and whispered "Yes" loud enough for him to hear me

I threw my arms around his shoulders and kissed his cheek

"I promise I won't let you down" Nick said in my ear

"I've missed us" I felt myself cry as he held me, something he's never done in public

"Things will change" He said looking at me, he started to lean towards me and before I knew it he kissed me.

I wrapped my hands in his hair for the first time in a long time. I knew things have changed back and things would be better. If there were was one thing I learned in life it's that life has many storms, but no matter what there are always days that the suns got to come out.
