Okay guys so I totally had the inspiration to do a Joe Gray/ Miley Stewart story today and the story just wouldn't get out of my head! lol. So anyways this is more of a preview of what's to come! It's not the beginning, that'll be the next chapter! Consider this more of a trailer or sneak peek if you will. Oh some background info, Joe and Miley both attend the Academy of Performing Arts in southern California. They're both seniors this year and they're both best friends and they've been neighbors their whole lives. Miley's totally in love with Joe but doesn't have the guts to tell him. Joe thinks Miley is an awesome friend, but he doesn't think of Miley that way (....yet lol). Joe is super popular, while Miley isn't. Oh and they're both in the music department of their school. Oh and btw, this ISN'T a songfic. So here it is. I hope you read, enjoy and review!!! :) ps. Song i used in this preview and as the title really is Paramore's When It Rains.
And when it rains
On this side of town it touches everything
Just say it again and mean it
We don't miss a thing
"You weren't there Joe! You KNEW how important to me the senior recital was!!! It's like you don't even care!" Screamed Miley as she pointed her finger at Joe in an accusatory manner. In a choked whisper she added, "it's like⦠it's like you don't even care!"
"Aw, Miles, don't be like that-
"No Joe, I think we're over," as Miley said those words her whole world shattered into pieces. Joe was the only constant in her whole 17 years of life. When her mom died, when Jackson moved away and she surprisingly missed him, when her dad had begun dating again, when she had been accepted into Julliard, pretty much all the big events in her life Joe was apart of. He was there to share the grief, the joy and bare the pain with. More importantly, Joe used to always there to be her best friend. He was her rock. Her rock that had now shattered. Ever since he got with Carmen Miley felt as if Joe was becoming a different person. She didn't like this new Joe and she didn't think she would want to be this new 'Joe's" friend.
You made yourself a bed
At the bottom of the blackest hole
And convinced yourself that it's not the reason
You don't see the sun anymore
Joe looked up at Miley in shock. "How, can you say that if we weren't ever going out?"
"I mean we're over, as friends Joe." Joe suddenly gasped and Miley looked into his eyes. Were those unshed tears?
"Miley, look I know things have been different, but come! You know that you come before every single person including my girlfriends. Including Carmen. Our friendship means a whole lot to me. Please don't do this." He said pleadingly.
And oh, oh how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming
Oh, oh I need the ending
So why can't you stay just long enough to explain
Miley looked up at Joe and knew this is what needed to happen. How else would she ever get over her stupid, silly crush of Joe? Miley felt a speck of water splash right on her nose. How appropriate? It was now raining in the now empty parking lot. Miley looked into Joe's dark green eyes and knew she could get lost in them forever. Miley knew that she loved Joe with every fiber of her being even though she knew she had every reason not to.
"I'm sorry Joe," Miley sobbed.
"No, No, NO." screamed Joe as he made a grab for her. Miley took a step back and evaded his grasp.
"Goodbye Joe Gray," Miley said as tears were openly flowing down her face and ruining her makeup. She ran to her Prius as sobs wracked her body. Miley wrenched her car door open and got in. She allowed herself a glance at Joe as she was driving away. His shoulders were sagging and he looked so lost and alone standing there in the pouring rain. Miley wished she could save him, but she believed this is what she needed. This was what Joe needed. What they needed. Just as she was exiting the parking lot, Miley allowed herself one last glance at her ex-best friend before she drove out of his life forever. If she didn't know any better she would say he was crying, but she could always blame that on the rain couldn't she?
And when it rains
