Chapter 7

 Samantha….Who?

The next morning

Selena’s POV

Again Miley left her door unlocked which means she was out partying. I told her she needs to stop partying so much. I walk into her bedroom and I see her laying there with a pillow covering her head. Oh dear god she is such a mess. I always have to help her out. I guess that’s what I get for being her best friend.

I shake her arm as I take the pillow off her head. “Miley come wake up, you have performance in two hours.”

She groans as she covers her eyes. “Stop yelling Selena!”

“I’m not yelling and you are obviously having a hangover, so come on let’s get you ready.” I help her get out of bed as I take her to the bathroom. I hand her some clothes. “Get dressed then meet in the kitchen for breakfast.”

She walks in and looks at herself in mirror. “Oh shit I look like a hot mess.” She closes the door as she gets ready.

I walk towards the kitchen to begin making breakfast. “You’re telling me.”

10 minutes later

Miley walks in and hugs me. “Sel you are like the um best friend in the world.”

“Miley just drink this coffeeso you can feel better.” I hand her coffee as she drinks it.

“Last night was like awesome and I even made out with this hot guy.” Miley sits on the counter as she takes bite of her toast.

“Right that’s what you told me last week. Miley I remember you used to hating partying and now you do it all the time.” I give her an aspirin for her headache.

“That was the old me and this new me is more free.”

I shake my head at her response. “I told you that Liam guy was a bad influence and look what he did to you. You were this sweet, caring and outgoing girl who didn’t dress so inappropriately and didn’t go partying all the time.”

She glares at me. “You’re supposed to be my friend and you’re pretty much saying I act like a slut.”

“Yeah Miley I’m sorry, but I hate this new image of yours. I miss the old you, but that girl is gone.” I start fixing her hair as she keeps bickering with me.

“So I’m not perfect like you, well sorry but I’m 24 and I can act like how I want.” Miley argues back.

I look at her seriously. “Fine, but I’m not always to be around to help when you’re in trouble just so you now. Also, I’m not perfect and maybe if you acted less of this party girl who doesn’t care what the hell she does, you might be with Nick instead of Samantha.”

Miley just stays frozen in place and she looks at me with her eyes widen. “Samantha…who?”

I throw a newspaper at her. “Apparently they are linking Nick to an actress named Samantha Bark.”

Miley reads the newspaper and she throws it on the ground. “She isn’t even that pretty.”

“Well it’s your fault that Nick might be dating her because you could have had him, but you didn’t want to have a “serious relationship” which you might need.” I say hoping that Miley could finally realize what she did.

Miley puts her head in her hands. “Wow I’m such a bitch. I can’t believe I lost him. Sel what should I do?”

I kneel down and stroke her hair. “First ,you need to go this performance and then we can have ice cream and figure out what you can do.”

She looks up with tears in her eyes. “How come you want to help me? A minute ago you were telling me how messed up I am and how I’ve turned into a bitch.”

“Because no matter what you do, I’m going to be there for you.” I say while hugging her.

Miley hugs back as more tears fall. “I miss him Sel, so much.”

“I know you do Miley, I know you do.” I honestly feel bad for her, but this is what you get for lying and only thinking about yourself.

With Nick

I couldn’t believe I had to bring Lacey to my date with Samantha. The daycare for some reason is closed today and Joe has plans. I hope she doesn’t mind. I see her wave at me as I walk over. Wow she is pretty.

“Hey sorry I’m late.” I smile nervously.

“It’s okay and oh my god is this Lacey your daughter?” She asks as she touches Lacey’s hand and she giggles.

“Yeah, wait how did you know she is my daughter?”

“Joe told me and I’m totally cool with it.” She sits down and I sit down while putting Lacey next to me.

“I hope having Lacey here won’t make things awkward.”

“Of course not I love kids and she is so adorable.” She pulls her hand out at Lacey. “I’m Samantha and you must be Lacey.”

Lacey smiles as she shakes her hand back. “You pretty.”

“Aww thanks you are cute.” Wow Samantha is so sweet.

“So I heard you’re into musicals, I loved to see you in one.”

She smiles as she rests her hands on the table. “Yeah totally and of course Lacey can come.”

I chuckle as I wonder normally other girls would freak out if they saw me bring my daughter on my date with them. “I like how you don’t care that you’re on date with me and my kid.”

“Like I said I’m cool with it, but how do you do it Nick? I mean taking care of her when she doesn’t have a mother.”

“I guess I had no choice after Demi died, but she turned out pretty good right?” I laugh slightly.

“Yeah she did, but seriously Lacey deserves a mother and you look like you get exhausted sometimes with work and taking care of her.”

I shrug. “Not really well sometimes, but I don’t mind.” You know Samantha would make a great mother one day, she’s seem so good with kids.

“I see. So you’re a producer, how’s that job?” She asks.

“It’s fun and I get to work with really cool people.” I answer back.

“I heard you worked with Miley Cyrus, I’m sure she is your girlfriend.”

“Actually she isn’t, were just um friends I guess.” I say as I feel a bit of sadness, but then I smile knowing that Samantha is here.

She smiles big. “Well then she missed out on a great guy, but I guess that’s her loss.”

I smile back trying to figure out could I really get over Miley. “I guess so.”

Later after the date

As I tuck Lacey I see her pull my hand. “I like Samantha, she nice.”

I smile. “She is and I think she likes you as well.”

But then I see her smile fade away. “What happened to that one girl?”

I look at her confused. “Who are talking about? Miley?”

She nods. “I like her too and she pretty too.”

I kiss her forehead. “Night Lacey.” I close her door as I walk downstairs. I turn on the TV and sit on the couch. Lacey likes both Miley and Samantha, but I like Miley more. I guess I could call her. As I spot my phone I see E! News come on. I see Ryan talking about how Miley got drunk and made out with some guy. They even had a picture. I felt disgusted seeing that picture. Here I am hoping to call her and see if we could work things out when she clearly moved on. Maybe Samantha is the right choice. I mean she is close to perfect and she doesn’t party or get drunk. But again, I still had those feelings for Miley, but she is complete opposite of Samantha. I am feeling so confused right now, but knowing that Samantha is great with kids and would make a great mom was a plus. I never told Miley about me having a kid.

To be Continued…

Oooh Nick has a tough decision. Do you think the old Miley will come back? Do think Samantha is right for Nick?
