"And you wouldn't have me any other way." A grin tugged at the corners of her mouth. "I think they would too but we're both living different lives and can't go backwards." She hadn't considered jealousy over her fame but once he mentioned it, she had to wonder how big a part that had played and if he was going to be able to handle Taylor's fame. She was far more known and wealthy then the both of them. "I can too, if I need to. We have been friends for years and she should know I would never step your direction with and interfere in a relationship. I think it's good that we can be friends after all this time."

Liam shook his head, “I wouldn’t have you any other way, Mi.” The old nickname slipping out as things felt like old times with her. “We can’t go backwards, only forward. The best thing we can do is focus on the future, on a possible friendship.” He told her. He knew they couldn’t go back and change anything, and their relationship probably happened when it need to happen. They needed each other to grow. “I’m sure it’ll be fine, but I’ll let you know if I need your backup on it. I think it’s good we can be friends too. But this was nice, and we should find another time to get together.” He said as he finished off his coffee.

i think everyone did in some way or another.

that's nice! that's what's supposed to happen

it is!

Her eyes glanced downward but he wasn't wrong. "They were and it wasn't your fault. No one knew how to handle it and reign me in. Everyone in my family tried but I'm stubborn and hardheaded as you know." She smiled and looked back upwards at him. "We found each other too soon, long before we were ready but no one could tell us to slow down because we wouldn't listen to them." She wasn't sure if Taylor would feel threatened or not but he was right. "People get weird when exes are friends and hang out." She could understand why they did because it was easy to start to feel those old feelings again depending on the situation. Being friends with someone you used to love and had seen naked wasn't always easy but she wanted to try.

Liam let out a small laugh, “You are stubborn and hardheaded. I’m glad I was able to reign you in for a bit.” He told her, with a small head nod. “I do think we found each other too soon. I think if we found each other now, things would be a bit different. I didn’t know how to handle your fame at that age either. Some say I was jealous of you and Chris with how known you both were at the time.” He said softly and looked down at the half drank coffee. Maybe it wasn’t wrong, there might have been a tinged of jealousy between his girlfriend’s work and his brother’s work. He did his best to get movies at the time, but everyone compared him to Chris. Looking back over at Miley, “yeah. Some people do. But I can talk to her about it. Let her know nothing is going on between us other than finding some sort of friendship.”

Your girl spoil you?

i think everyone did in some way or another.

Hope you had a great birthday @starletliam

I did have a pretty good birthday!

No but it happened all the time and not just to older women, younger women too were being used and discarded. "No one should be it happens every day. I like to think that I can spot an asshole from a mile away now but that could be wishful thinking." She couldn't hold back the laugh that exited her lips as he said that he didn't mind her being childish. "I'm sure at times I did your head it with my antics and for that I'm sorry." She could admit she did some distasteful things to get a rise out of people including him. "I don't think Taylor will care if we're friends. Her and I are friends so she shouldn't feel threatened."

Liam shrugged, “it’s fine. Some of your antics were… a lot. And sometimes I just don’t think I knew how to handle it all. And I wish at times I did things differently or understood why you were still childish. It’s not like I’m the most mature person in the world, so I shouldn’t have been juding to harsh.” He laughed. He had no hatred for her or her antics when they were together. He nodded, “there’s no reason for her to feel threatened. Just friends, hanging out. Nothing more, nothing less.” Saying they were just friends was definitely a hard sentence, even harder to comprehend since he thought Miley would be out of his life forever.

"It beats ignoring each other or hoping we don't run into each other. I think it's nice that we can sit here and talk without screaming at each other." They had done their fair share of that years ago. "We have grown up and see things a lot differently then we used to." She hated talking about her ex but if they were going to be friends then they needed to be able to talk about things and she wasn't going to not answer his question. "He's young and I'm sure I looked like an easy target. Older woman in need of love and attention." She laughed albeit only briefly because it wasn't funny and hit too close to home. "I changed but not in that way. I needed to change. I shudder at how childish I used to be be. I think in ways that face went to my head and I never really had a strict bringing up so I rebelled a lot. I'm sorry for that."

“I’m sure you did seem like an easy target for him. Which is hard, and horrible. No one should use their partner like that.” It was easy for him to say, since he had dealt with the same stuff when it came to his model ex-girlfriend. But he didn’t realize it as quickly as Miley had with Maxx. “I’m glad that you realized you need to change, and not be as childish. Not that I ever minded you being childish.” He shrugged, he knew people always twisted things he said when he didn’t seem happy with how she acted when they were out in public. But that was never the case, he truly did enjoy how carefree and how much fun she could have.
