Miley's 18 and a college freshman + head cheerleader
Joe's 21 and a college senior + the quarterback
Miley- (standing at her locker) we need to get through to nationals we can't be beaten or we lose our scholarships
Ashley- we aren't through regionals yet
Miley- we need to plan ahead
Ashley- so do we have practice today
Miley- you know we do. We always have practice and now isn't the time to slack off (starts walking)
Ashley- you know sometimes I think you take this too seriously
Miley- well someone on the squad has to
Ashley- you know I didn't mean it like that
Miley- if you don't want to take this seriously you know where to go quit. I've always got people who can replace you
Ashley- I'm dedicated to the team all I'm saying is we need a break sometimes
Miley- the best cheer leading squads practice at least 8 hours a week
Ashley- but that's not us!
Miley- come find me when you want to be a dedicated cheerleader (walks away and walks into joe) ergh why you?
Joe- you love me (puts his hands on her waist)
Miley- that's where you're wrong Jonas (moves his hands off her) and don't touch me
Joe- I'm the quarterback and you're head cheerleader we're supposed to date its part of the cliques
Miley- grow up. We're in college now not high school. You'd think you would of learned with it being your senior year and stuff but obviously not
Joe- everyone knows the star footballer and head cheerleader date
Miley- well not in this college, I'd never date you. you're a chauvinistic pig
Joe- you can't say that. You don't know me
Miley- I know you're a player
Joe- no you don't
Miley- ok then so the girl last night, what was her name? Or the girl the night before? Or we could make this really hard and say who was the girl last friday?
Joe- I don't need names. They throw themselves at me wanting sex
Miley- don't lie, dick (walks away)
Selena- (walks up to miley) what was that about?
Miley- how he thinks we should date
Selena- he's right. You should. You guys would make one hot couple
Miley- don't you start as well. People need to understand I'm not gonna date him just because that's what cliques say and because people think we'd look hot together. He's not boyfriend material
Selena- but he's joe jonas
Miley- he could be the richest man in the country and it wouldn't change what I think about him. Look at him he's disgusting (watching joe seduce some random girl)
Selena- I think you'll end up together eventually, anyway vanessa wants to see you in her office
Miley- why?
Selena- I've got no idea
Miley- I'll see you later then (walks to the gym) vanessa?
Vanessa- in here (mileys walks in) hi miley have a seat
Miley- what's going on?
Vanessa- I know you won't be happy about this and I'm not either but the college directors have cut the budgets for the whole sports department and to get to nationals we have to raise the money ourselves
Miley- that's not fair!
Vanessa- I know but that's not the worst of it
Miley- what is then?
Vanessa- the housing budget has also been cut and because the cheerleaders dorm is the bigger of the two the footballers will be moving in with you so your girls will have to share instead of having a room each
Miley- c there is no way that is happening!
Vanessa- there's nothing we can do about it
Miley- the other girls are not gonna be happy!
Vanessa- I'm not happy about it but if it keeps this squad together I'll do it and I don't think some of the girls will mind especially when some of them are dating footballers
Miley- you can't bring that many guys into our dorm!
Vanessa- I think it has something to do with joe. I don't think you want him living with you
Miley- joe has nothing to do with it! I don't want any of them
Vanessa- Miley everyone knows you hate joe but you're gonna have to learn to like him if not like him just be sociable with him
Miley- I'll do this for the squad because they're like my family but I want the footballers at the other end of the dorm
Vanessa- you'll have to work that out yourselves
Miley- have you told the girls?
Vanessa- I thought I'd leave that to you
Miley- this is unbelievable! How are we gonna get the money to get to nationals because we need to do it
Vanessa- we'll have to organise some fund raisers
Miley- why us? And you can't say it's just us being targeted this time
Vanessa- I don't know Miley I wish I did but I don't and I doubt I'll find out
Miley- how long do we have until the footballers move in with us?
Vanessa- they start moving Friday
Miley- that's in 2 days!
Vanessa- it needs to be done as soon as possible. I'll see you at practice Miley I'll let you get back to the girls
Miley- thanks (walks out and goes back to the dorm) girls! (all the girls gather on the sofa's)
Selena- what's going on miley?
Miley- well I went to see Vanessa and our budgets have been cut so we have to raise the money for nationals
Selena- how can they do that!
Miley- that's not all
Selena- what else is it?
Miley- the football team are moving into here
Ashley- what!
Selena- why?
Miley- because housing budgets have been cut and if they don't move in there's no scholarships for any of us
Debby- when does this happen
Miley- they start moving Friday
Ashley- Friday?
Miley- yupp we've got to share rooms to make enough room for them so decide who you want to share with and start moving
Selena- this is going to be pretty amazing
Miley- no its going to be horrible
Selena- just think you'll get to see joe
Miley- that's why its horrible
Selena- what are we going to do about the rooms 'cause there's an odd number of us
Miley- I'll stay by myself and let everyone else pair up I don't mind.
On Friday
Joe- (looks at Miley) where's my room Princess
Miley- my names Miley and it's next door to me unfortunately
Joe- you know princess I'm not as bad as you think
Miley- I find that hard to believe
Joe- there's always a story behind the way someone acts (walks into his room)
Miley- (confused, follows him) what was that supposed to mean?
Joe- nothing forget it. get out
Miley- (ignores him) what did you mean
Joe- i said it's nothing
Miley- just tell me!
Joe- it has nothing to do with you so you don't need to know and I don't want to tell you
Miley- seriously joe just tell me!
Joe- (kisses her roughly)
Miley- (doesn't kiss back)
Joe- (puts his hands on her waist and pulls her closer)
Miley- (starts kissing back but realises what she's doing, pushes him away and slaps him) what the fuck do you think you're playing at!
Joe- I had to shut you up somehow now get out
Miley- ergh you're a dick!
Joe- and that's not the first time you've told me but like I said there's always a story that explains why
Miley- I wouldn't know! You won't tell me! (Walks out slamming the door, sits on the sofa and looks at kevin, btw Joe and Kevin are twins in this) your brother is the biggest dick around!
Kevin- what did he do?
Miley- he said there's a story why he's a dick and he won't tell me and then he kissed me 'cause I wouldn't stop asking (talks really fast) and it was the best fucking kiss ever! (Leans back on the sofa and let's out a sigh touching her lips)
Kevin- there is a story
Miley- I'm guessing you won't want to tell me either
Kevin- no I'll tell you 'cause I know he won't
Selena- wait! You kissed? How did that happen?
Miley- it just did. I don't know!
Selena- (sing-song voice) somebody liked it!
Miley- (throws a pillow off her) piss off
Selena- Your guard's up and that must mean that you like him.
Miley- you my friend are wrong
Selena- Ooh! And defensive too. You know that must mean that you really like him
Miley- you need to stop watching step up seriously its getting worrying now
Selena- its channing tatum how can you blame me (smirks)
Miley- well please remove yourself from here before you start masturbating over him
Selena- I hate you (walks away embarrassed)
Miley- (looks at kevin) so now she's gone, what's this story
Kevin- he's afraid of love
Miley- why?
Kevin- 5 years ago my parents divorced. They didn't get along for ages before it happened but joe didn't know that no one ever told him and when he finally got told about everything he was devastated. He always thought we were your perfect family. After the divorce joe stayed with my mom
Miley- so he's a dick because of your parents divorce?
Kevin- no. Joe was always a momma's boy and he loved her more than anything but after the divorce she couldn't handle losing the only thing she'd ever known so she overdosed and died. It broke joe. He never got over it and to answer your question he's a dick because its his way to push people away and cope. He won't let himself love anyone because the only people he's ever loved he's had taken from him
Joe- (standing behind) thanks a lot kevin (walks in his room slamming the door)
Kevin- shit!
Miley- I'm sorry about your mom. can I try talking to him
Kevin- you can try but he'll probably push you away
Miley- I'll try (gets up and knocks on Joe's door and walks in 'cause he ignores it) joe can I talk to you?
Joe- (lying with his back towards miley) I don't want to. Go away
Miley- joe...
Joe- I said go away
Miley- (sits on the bed and looks at him) joe talk to me
Joe- you never liked me before so why do you wanna talk all of a sudden
Miley- I guess I didn't think I just assumed you acted the way you do to become popular
Joe- well I don't want you to feel sorry for me and I don't want your sympathy so leave me alone
Miley- do you really think your mom would want you to be like this?
Joe- so you're playing the mom card now (sits up and looks at her)
Miley- yes I am because if you were as close to your mom and respected her as much as kevin says you wouldn't do this because I know if I had a son I'd be disappointed if he treat girls like shit. I'd be ashamed to call him my son
Joe- don't say that she wouldn't
Miley- its the truth. Do you really think your mom would want you to use girls or do you think she'd want you to try and find someone who you could love? Even find someone you love her as much as you loved her?
Joe- that's not possible. I could never love anyone as much as my mom she was irreplaceable
Miley- no one wants to replace your mom but just think she'd want you to be happy with someone instead of doing this to yourself
Joe- why love people when they just get taken away or leave you
Miley- if you found someone they wouldn't leave you or be taken away, they'd always be in here (points to his heart) we don't have to be friends, we don't have to like each other just think about what I've said joe. (kisses his cheek and walks out)
Joe- (sighs and lies back on his bed thinking about what miley's said)
A few days later
Joe- (walks into the kitchen and makes sure no one is there) Miley can I talk to you?
Miley- yeah what's up?
Joe- I thought about what you said
Miley- you did?
Joe- yeah and I'm sorry for being such a dick towards you and I want to change for my mom
Miley- she'd be proud of you and I'm sorry about the other day I guess I was a little harsh
Joe- I needed it
Miley- you know you're not a bad person when you're like this
Joe- maybe I'll try and be like this more but I can't guarantee you anything
Miley- don't guarantee me anything. Talk to your brother and do it for him. You need each other. Talk to someone who went through the same thing as you
Joe- maybe it will work but I think I need someone who knows nothing about it and someone who isn't already on someone's side or biased
Miley- well I'm always here if you want to talk. I think we've both worked out that we're not the people we think we are
Joe- yeah I always thought you were stuck up and snobby but now I think you're pretty normal and you care about people other than yourself
Miley- and I worked out you're not a dick, you're just a hurt and lost boy that needs someone to be there for him and you only act like a dick to hide the pain
Joe- I never wanted to hurt anyone intentionally it just sort of happened and after my mom passed away I wanted others to feel the pain I was feeling
Miley- well I'm gonna help you try to stop feeling the pain. I know it won't be easy but I'm not giving up on you and I don't care if people say anything we don't have to tell them, we live together it can't be that hard and if anyone says anything all they need to know is that we're friends
Joe- thank you (hugs her)
Miley- you're welcome Joe
Joe- you know I feel normal when I'm with you even though we've never got on before
Miley- I think we've got more in common than we think
Joe- yeah maybe we have. I really do need to grow up don't I? I'm 21 and I act like I'm 16 still
Miley- we'll have you acting like a 21 year old in no time
Joe- do you want to go to the campus bar tonight? We can invite everyone and use it as a chance for everyone to get to know each other
Miley- yeah I'll tell the girls
Joe- sounds good. Say everyone meet on the sofas at 7:15?
Miley- that works for me
When everyone's ready
Selena- so miley what's the real reason behind this?
Miley- to get to know each other
Selena- now tell the truth because 2 days ago you hated the fact they had to move in with us
Miley- well I'm not getting out of it so I'll have to learn to like them because I'd rather get on with them than argue in my own home
Selena- I'm gonna watch you
Miley- just drop it selena!
Debby- well just for the record I think it will be good if we all get along. Its like our family's growing
Miley- my point exactly now let's go
At the bar
Joe- so what's everyone drinking the first round is on me
Miley- you don't have to do that joe
Joe- fine what are you drinking and I'll buy your drink
Miley- just a coke
Joe- you sure?
Miley- yeah I'm only 18 remember
Joe- (orders the drinks)
Selena- (watching from the other side of the bar) there's got to be something going on with them two
Ashley- you never know they might just be talking
Selena- look at the way he's looking her
Ashley- everyone knows he wants to have sex with her
Selena- it looks like more than that though I've never seen that look on his face
Ashley- just leave them or you'll upset miley and then our family will be torn and you wouldn't want to be blamed for that would you?
Selena- no but I want to know what's going on
Ashley- you're not the only one but she'll tell us if and when she's ready
Selena- I know but how can you go from hating someone on friday to that (points to miley and joe who are standing close and laughing) only 2 days later!
Ashley- well they've obviously talked now drop it and enjoy tonight 'cause I didn't come out to stand and watch miley have a good night (walks over to one of the footballers and starts dancing)
Joe- (grabs mileys hand) come on
Miley- what are you doing? (Laughing)
Joe- dancing (pulls her closer and starts dancing)
Miley- (puts her hands on the top of his arms and dances for hours)
Joe- (pulls miley really close when a slow song comes on) you don't mind do you?
Miley- (puts her arms around his neck and rest her head on his chest) nope
Joe- (pulls her closer so their bodies are touching) all your friends are watching
Miley- let them watch we're only dancing
Joe- (starts singing into her ear) and through it all she offers me protection a lot of love and affection whether I'm right or wrong and down the waterfall wherever it may take me I know that life wont break me when I come to call she wont forsake me I'm loving angels instead
Miley- (looks up and smiles) you're a really good singer
Joe- thanks. Selena is coming over
Miley- (look around) this ought to be fun
Selena- what's going on seriously Miley?
Miley- we're dancing I thought that was pretty obvious
Selena- you hated him Friday so why the sudden change of heart?
Miley- we talked and now we're trying to get along
Selena- it looked like more than trying to get along to me
Miley- look Selena I know what I'm doing you're not my mother
Selena- no she died
Miley- (gets tears in her eyes) I'm going back to the dorm (walks away)
Joe- (follows her) Miley wait! (Catches up)
Miley- joe I'll be fine just enjoy the rest of the night
Joe- I can't enjoy it knowing you're upset
Miley- fine you can come if you want (starts walking again)
Joe- (walks in silence, doesn't know what to say. Opens the door when they get back) do you want to talk about it?
Miley- (wipes a tear) I think so yeah
Joe- come on then where do you want to go?
Miley- your room if that's ok. I know Selena won't go in there
Joe- that's fine. Is there anything you want from your room?
Miley- I wanna get out of this dress I'll come in when I'm ready
Joe- no problem
Miley- (walks into her room and pulls her pyjamas on quickly and ties her hair in a messy bun, looks in the mirror and sighs) just breathe Miley you can do it (walks into joe's room) hey
Joe- hey, make yourself comfortable
Miley- thanks (sits on the bed and crosses her legs) I was adopted (looks at joe)
Joe- why?
Miley- my real mom was only 15 when she had me so she put me up for adoption so I'd have a better life
Joe- so which mom was Selena talking about?
Miley- my real mom. I was told when I was 16 that I was adopted and I found her not long after my 17th birthday and she died after I'd known her for 3 months (feels tears roll down her cheeks)
Joe- I'm sorry Miley (pulls her into a hug)
Miley- I just miss her
Joe- I know how you feel. It doesn't get any easier
Miley- I know and I know I only knew her for 3 months but it felt like I'd known her forever. She's the reason I came to this college
Joe- how?
Miley- she came here when she was my age and she'd been saving money up for the day she was able to finally meet her daughter and she wanted to pay for my college tuition but she never had enough
Joe- so you got the scholarship
Miley- yeah. She wasn't a bad person
Joe- I imagine her to be like you
Miley- I look like her
Joe- well she must of been really pretty
Miley- she was (hears everyone come in) can I stay in here tonight? I don't want to face Selena
Joe- yeah I can sneak out if you want
Miley- it's fine. It's your room (lies down in Joe's bed)
Joe- (watches her fall asleep and gets another blanket from under the bed and lies down next to Miley)
The next morning
Selena- (walks in) Joe have you seen Miley?
Joe- yeah she's here
Selena- what the fuck did you do to her!
Miley- (wakes up) what's going on?
Joe- I didn't do anything to her!
Selena- so why is she in your bed!
Joe- we fell asleep and if you must know we're using different blankets!
Miley- Selena why are you doing this to me I thought you were my best friend
Selena- we were until you turned into a slut (walks out slamming the door)
Miley- (looks at Joe) why is this happening to me?
Joe- I don't know but she's got no right saying that. None of its true
Miley- why does what I'm doing feel so wrong?
Joe- because you've got Selena being so negative
Miley- I've never seen this side of her
Joe- in a black and white world true colours show
Miley- I guess you're right
Joe- why don't you let me take you for breakfast so we can get away from here for a while
Miley- that sounds good. Give me about 20 minutes to change and then you can come in my room
Joe- sounds good
Miley- (gets up and walks to her room)
Ashley- is everything ok Miley?
Miley- yeah I just don't understand why Selena is being like this
Ashley- I can talk to her if you want
Miley- no just leave it. I don't see why I should worry over her when she can do this
Ashley- (hugs Miley) I'm not against anything you're doing you make a cute couple
Miley- we're not together
Ashley- but it seems like you are
Miley- nope
Ashley- friends with benefits?
Miley- nope just friends
Ashley- wow I didn't think joe was the type to be just friends
Miley- there's a lot you don't know about joe
Ashley- maybe everyone just needs to get to know each other properly and give each other a chance
Miley- yeah they do. Joe's not as bad as people think and that's a lot coming from me
Ashley- yeah I figured. You never change your opinion about people
Miley- no but I've learned a lot from him. I'll talk to you later ash I need to get ready
Ashley- why?
Miley- I'm going for breakfast with joe
Ashley- enjoy it then (smiles and walks away)
Miley- (starts changing)
Joe- (knocks) Miley are you ready?
Miley- yeah (walks out wearing - .com/cgi/set?id=31054021)
Joe- you look...wow
Miley- is that good or bad?
Joe- good. You always look good
Miley- (blushes) thanks (walks out with him) so where are we going?
Joe- it's up to you
Miley- can we go to starbucks? I want to get away from campus for a while
Joe- yeah, like I said go where you want (starts walking)
Miley- do you know what I find strange?
Joe- what?
Miley- you wear a baseball jacket most of the time but you play football
Joe- I like the baseball jacket more than the football one's
Miley- makes sense (walks into starbucks) what do you want? It's on me today, no arguments
Joe- I'll have a caramel macchiato please
Miley- (orders the drinks and sits with joe) you know Joseph you're a really nice guy
Joe- thanks and you're a great friend. I'm sorry for being a dick towards you since we met
Miley- its fine, I'm sorry I was always a bitch and never gave you a chance
Joe- you had a reason to hate me. I would of hated myself if I met me
Miley- I don't think I'd say I hated you I just didn't like you
Joe- you've changed me so much in just a few days it weird
Miley- how do you mean?
Joe- I feel like I can be myself with you, I don't need a guard up
Miley- that's what I was aiming for and I think everyone else would like the Joe that I've got to know
Joe- maybe this is a new start for me
Miley- I think you're right. Joe?
Joe- yeah
Miley- can I try something but if it goes horribly wrong will you promise not to hate me?
Joe- (confused) I wouldn't hate you for anything come here (opens his arms for a hug) what's wrong? You look all tense and upset
Miley- (goes over and sits on his knee and hugs him, nervous) I'm..I'm fine (lets out a deep breath)
Joe- you know you can tell me anything right?
Miley- yeah I do (rests her head on his shoulder)
Joe- are you gonna tell me what it is you want to try?
Miley- it's easier to show you
Joe- what do you mean?
Miley- (lifts her head and looks at him and kisses him)
Joe- (kiss back and wraps his arms around her waist)
Miley- (pulls away) I'm sorry joe I shouldn't of done that
Joe- its fine Miley. Anyway I liked it
Miley- what?
Joe- I liked it (smiles and kisses her again)
Miley- (kisses back)
Joe- (pulls her closer)
Miley- (pulls away a little and rests her forehead against his) I want to have sex with you joe
Joe- (shocked) you don't mean that
Miley- I do joe. I should of said yes when you first asked me
Joe- Miley I can see looking at you that you don't want to do that. You're not comfortable with the thought of that
Miley- I am. I know what I'm doing and what I want
Joe- Miley you don't want that, you're all tensed up
Miley- ok so I might be nervous but I want it and it would make us closer
Joe- it could do the opposite and make us drift apart too. I don't want to risk what we have
Miley- what is it what we have?
Joe- what ever you want it to be. Friends, friends with benefits or boyfriend and girlfriend. If you want to that is
Miley- is this your way of asking me to be your girlfriend Joseph
Joe- I guess it is
Miley- in that case we're boyfriend and girlfriend
Joe- are you serious
Miley- (nods smiling)
Joe- wow. The most beautiful girl on campus is my girlfriend
Miley- that's not true
Joe- yeah you're right. That doesn't even cover it
Miley- (kisses him) can I ask you one thing?
Joe- yeah sure
Miley- can we not tell anyone at first, I want to make sure things will work between us before we tell anyone and if it didn't work I wouldn't want to go through a break up that everyone knows about
Joe- if that's what makes you happy and it gives me time to become a better person
Miley- you were never a bad person, just confused and upset
Joe- when did you become so understanding
Miley- when I realised there's more to people than what meets the eye
Joe- I'm pleased you gave me a chance
Miley- me too. You know this means that one day we will have sex
Joe- yes but it will have a meaning to it and it wont be because we just decided that we're gonna have sex because there's nothing on tv
Miley- (laughs) can I tell you a secret?
Joe- yeah you already know you can tell me anything
Miley- I don't think anyone knows this and I want to keep it that way but please don't make fun of me or break up with me over it
Joe- Miley what is it?
Miley- I'm still a virgin
Joe- do you want to know an even bigger secret that only Kevin knows?
Miley- yeah what is it?
Joe- I'm still a virgin
Miley- but how? You can't be. You're a (pauses) you're a man whore slut or what ever you want to call yourself
Joe- it was all an act. (Lifts his hand and shows her his purity ring)
Miley- you wear a purity ring?
Joe- yeah. Its more of a promise to my mom instead of god though
Miley- what do you mean?
Joe- before my mom died I promised her I wouldn't have sex until I found the right person
Miley- but what about all the girls?
Joe- nothing ever happened
Miley- but you kept asking me for sex
Joe- it was all an act around the team. They couldn't know their quarterback and most popular guy in school is a virgin
Miley- so what would you of done if I said yes to sex before?
Joe- probably took you for ice cream or something where I could get to know you
Miley- you're really sweet joe and for the record I like how we're both virgins
Joe- me too. It makes you mine
Miley- I'm yours no matter what
Joe- we should head back to campus. I have practice and you will too
Miley- you know more about my life than I do
Joe- or maybe it's because I know we've got a game Friday and you girls always cheer us on
Miley- you're pretty clever Jonas
Joe- you know it baby
Later-
Miley- (in practice)
Ashley- what's wrong Miley? You seem really off today
Miley- nothing I'm just tired (lying)
Ashley- you sure?
Miley- yeah
Selena- that's what you get when you stay awake all night having sex
Miley- what the fuck are you talking about?
Selena- it's so obvious you and Joe are having sex (everyone stops and watches)
Miley- well I can definitely tell you that's not true. I don't just sleep with anyone
Selena- but you sleep with the biggest whore in the school
Miley- say what you want about joe. I know a different side of him to everyone else. He's different when he's with me
Selena- and I guess you think you're wonder woman then?
Miley- no. I'm saying I took time to get to know him unlike you who has sunk so low within a week and not attempted to get to know someone who you're living with because I know for sure you're not giving the football team a good impression of yourself and you're splitting this family up! Everyone feels awkward around you
Selena- how is that?
Miley- (getting angry) because you're being so fucking bitchy just because I made friends with someone who I didn't like before! News flash Selena! It happens all the time. If I remember rightly we hated each other until we were 12
Selena- that was different!
Miley- explain to me how that is different! We were made to sit next to each other in Science so we had to talk when we worked together and we ended up talking. Nothing is different with joe! We've been made to live together so we've started talking to keep the dorm a happy place and not full of tension all the time but I'm starting to think talking to you in that science class was a bad idea because you're the one bringing negativity to our home!
Ashley- miles calm down
Miley- no Ashley! She's pissing me off! I understand now! You like joe so you're jealous of all the time I spend with him which has only been about a week if that and you don't like how I'm close to him!
Selena- don't be so pathetic!
Miley- Selena I know you! I know when you're lying its written all over your face. You can't even look at me
Selena- I don't like joe!
Miley- look me in the eye and tell me you don't like joe
Selena- I don't need this
Miley- because you can't do it. I can read you like a book Selena and to be honest if you don't change your attitude and the way you treat people you'll be off the team because the way you're acting isn't acceptable. Practice is over girls (walks out of the gym)
Joe- (grabs her waist as she passes and pulls her into an empty corridor) what's wrong I heard the end of that argument
Miley- you scared me you idiot! And you stink
Joe- I'm sorry but that happens when you work out properly. What's going on
Miley- just Selena being a bitch again but its nothing I can't handle and we do work out properly!
Joe- it's cheerleading. Its not that hard.
Miley- she won't win. I'm a tough one to crack (kisses him) I could take you down any day sweetie
Joe- you think so?
Miley- oh yeah. what did you come here for anyway?
Joe- I wanted to see if you wanted to come for lunch
Miley- if I can get away from everyone I will now get away from here before someone catches you (kisses him) I'll text you
Joe- I'll be waiting (walks back to the football gym)
That night
Miley- (lying on joe's bed with her head on his chest) so what are you doing for thanksgiving?
Joe- well normally me and Kevin go back to new jersey and spend it with our dad and all of our grandparents and the rest of the family. What about you?
Miley- well it's my first away from home so I think I'll go to my brothers place in Texas
Joe- you have a brother in Texas?
Miley- yeah I have two brothers. One lives in Texas and the other lives in Georgia
Joe- do I ever get to meet them?
Miley- maybe
Joe- how old are they?
Miley- Mark's 24 and Jack is 23 (Mark Wright from towie and Jack Tweed)
Joe- you never know maybe we could get along
Miley- if they like you yeah (hears a knock on the door, whispers) shit, I need to hide
Joe- where? (whispers)
Miley- I'll go under the bed (climbs under the bed)
Joe- come in
Kevin- hey what were you doing?
Joe- nothing just watching tv
Kevin- cool. So I've booked the flight back to Jersey for us
Joe- thanks. When do we go?
Kevin- the Monday before thanksgiving
Joe- I'll be packed by then
Kevin- I'm going out do you wanna come?
Joe- no I'm fine here. Thanks for the offer though
Kevin- see ya (walks out)
Miley- (crawls from under the bed and sits on it) what do you keep under there it stinks!
Joe- shoes (smirks)
Miley- you could of told me
Joe- you offered to go under. I didn't make you
Miley- I panicked and done it to save us
Joe- but really its not saving us when no one knows
Miley- well its what's best for us
Joe- not really
Miley- but I thought this was what you wanted?
Joe- no this was what you wanted. I want to tell the world that you're mine. I don't want to hide it from anyone
Miley- what are you saying joe?
Joe- let me know when you figure out what you want
Miley- what?
Joe- night Miley (turns his back away from her)
Miley- joe...
Joe- just think about it Miley
Miley- (walks out to her room and sighs picks her phone up and calls Mark)
Mark- hey miles is everything ok?
Miley- I don't think so. Can I ask you something for a friend?
Mark- sure what is it?
Miley- Is it bad to want to keep a relationship a secret?
Mark- it depends why you want to keep it a secret
Miley- I don't know it just seems real when you tell everyone and it ends up a relationship between everyone and not just the two people
Mark- it only ends up a relationship between everyone if you let them decide what happens and influence your decisions. So who's the guy?
Miley- what?
Mark- You just asked about yourself and a guy. I can tell when you're lying. You know you can tell me anything sweetie
Miley- he's called Joe and I wanted to keep it a secret but he doesn't
Mark- why do you not want anyone to know?
Miley- it's too... I don't know cliché
Mark- forget cliché's you're in college now
Miley- cheerleading captain + football quarterback, do the maths mark
Mark- Miley that shouldn't matter. You're 18 now
Miley- so why does it feel like I can't tell anyone?
Mark- because you've only just gone to college and you're still not adjusted from the high school cliché's yet. You need to relax. Anyway when I was in high school everyone always thought the cheerleading captain and the quarterback should be together
Miley- (sighs) it's time like this I wish my mom was still here
Mark- you should come home for thanksgiving mom would love to see you
Miley- I know. I want to. I need to get away from LA to clear my head
Mark- do you want me to book you flights?
Miley- yes please
Mark- I'll text you
Miley- thanks, I love you
Mark- I love you too. Think about what you're doing though
Miley- I will. (hangs up and lets out a deep breath thinking) you're an idiot Miley (looks at a photo of her and joe)
The week of thanksgiving, Miley and Joe haven't spoke much about what Joe said and they've barely spoke. Everyone is leaving the same day, at the airport
Joe- (watching Miley saying bye to everyone so she can go for her plane, doesn't know if they're still together or not)
Miley- (looks up and see's him, looks away)
Ashley- (hugs Miley) I'll miss you miles. It's gonna be weird being without you
Miley- I know. I'll miss you too but I fly back Sunday
Ashley- me too. I'll talk to you all the time and maybe we can meet when we get home before we go back to campus
Miley- I'd like that (smiles and says bye to everyone, looks at joe and half smiles) I guess I should go
Debby- bye miles
Miley- (starts walking away, turns to look at everyone and wave, sees Joe with a really hurt look on his face, feels bad so she drops her bag and runs towards him)
Joe- (catches her) mi...
Miley- (kisses him, wrapping her arms and legs around him)
Joe- (kisses back)
Ashley- aww (smiles)
Joe- (pulls away) what was that for?
Miley- I'm sorry, I should of just told people
Joe- what made you change your mind
Miley- seeing how hurt you looked when I walked away
Joe- thank you (kisses her again and puts her down) have fun in Texas now go before you miss your flight
Miley- (smiles and kisses him) see you when I get back (kisses him and walks away before anyone can say anything)
Ashley- (looks at Selena) and now you know why she was so aggressive when you argued before, (whispers so only Selena hears) get him out of your head, he's miley's guy and totally off limits so forget anything you're thinking right now
Selena- i'm thinking you're a bitch
Ashley- friends don't want other friends' boyfriends
Selena- how do you know they're together
Ashley- did you see that kiss? It says everything
Selena- (walks away)
When Miley gets to Texas
Mark- (hugs her) I've missed you
Miley- I missed you too. Where's jack?
Mark- he hasn't flew in yet. He gets here tomorrow
Miley- I can't wait (turns her phone on and see's she has 17 text and 11 missed calls from everyone sighs) mark can I use your phone?
Mark- is everything ok?
Miley- yeah I just don't want to deal with everyone right now
Mark- (gives her is phone)
Miley- thanks (saves Joe's and Ashley's number to Mark's phone and turns hers back off)
Mark- are you sure everything is ok?
Miley- I'm sure just stop worrying
Mark- I'm just looking out for you
Miley- I know
When they get to mark's house
Miley- mark can I have your phone again
Mark- (gives her it) am I gonna get this phone at all while you're here
Miley- nope (lies on the sofa and calls joe)
Joe- hello?
Miley- hey
Joe- who's this?
Miley- so you don't recognise your own girlfriends voice now (smiling)
Joe- Miley?
Miley- took you long enough
Joe- you sound different and you're not using your phone
Miley- yeah I got tired of everyone calling and texting and I didn't want to deal with it so I'm using mark's phone
Joe- how long for?
Miley- I don't know. I'm guessing you got to new jersey ok?
Joe- yeah I did
Miley- I miss you already joe
Joe- I miss you too. Can I ask you something?
Miley- yeah
Joe- what really made you do that at the airport?
Miley- I told you the look you had on your face. It made me feel guilty for wanting to hide it
Joe- so you're ok with everyone knowing?
Miley- yes. Its not like anyone can do anything
Joe- just watch Selena
Miley- what happened?
Joe- I'm not sure you'd have to ask Ashley but they seemed to be arguing
Miley- but why?
Joe- I honestly don't know but I did hear your name mentioned
Miley- I'll call Ash later (hears a knock at the door) Mark the door!
Mark- I've got it
Miley- (to joe) when do you get back to LA?
Joe- Monday
Miley- after college starts again?
Joe- yeah
Miley- that sucks (looks at the girl who's standing in front of here) hold on Joe. Who are you?
Lauren (Conrad)- I could ask you the same thing. Mark!
Mark- (walks in) what?
Lauren- who is this?
Miley- (to Joe) I'll call you back babe (hangs up)
Lauren- answer me mark! Who is she and why does she have your phone?
Mark- she's my sister idiot
Lauren- did you just call me an idiot!
Miley- he did sweetie. Get over it I could think of worse to call you
Mark- Miley shut up. Go call joe back or something. Tell him he can come to the party I'm having tomorrow if he can get here
Miley- he's in new jersey dick (walks upstairs)
At the party
Jack- Miley you're not wearing that!
Miley- I'll wear what I want Jack (she's wearing- .com/cgi/set?id=31326070 )
Jack- you look like a hooker!
Miley- thanks Jack that means a lot (walks away brushing past his shoulder)
Jack- (tries to grab her wrist)
Miley- don't touch me! (walks away to the kitchen)
Cody- hey Miley it's been a while since I saw you
Miley- yeah it has (smiles) how've you been?
Cody- I've been good. How's LA?
Miley- I love it there. I miss home when I'm gone but I miss LA when I'm home I guess Texas is home now though
Cody- your home is wherever you want it to be
A few hours later
Miley- (sitting with Cody, doesn't really know anyone, drunk)
Cody- (drunk too, puts his arm around Miley) you've grown a lot since I last saw you
Miley- you've got hotter
Cody- thanks (leans in and kisses her)
Miley- (kisses back)
Cody- (tries to deepen it)
Miley- (realises what she's doing, pushes him away) what am I doing! I've got a boyfriend and you're my brothers best friend!
Cody- that doesn't matter. What he doesn't know won't hurt him
Miley- but I'd know. I can't do that to him
Cody- oh come on you know you want to
Miley- no I don't. I can't do that to joe
Cody- Miley he's probably cheating on you right now
Miley- shut up he won't be. He's not like that (Stands up and walks away)
Mark- (sees her) mi you ok?
Miley- (feels tears roll down her cheek) no I'm not
Mark- what's happened?
Miley- nothing (wipes her tears away)
Mark- (walks away from Lauren)
Lauren- Mark!
Mark- not now Lauren! (Follows miley and sits on the front step watching other drunk people on the lawn) what's happened miley?
Miley- I'm such a bad person (takes her shoes off and throws them across the grass)
Mark- miley what happened? Or is this just because you're drunk and over reacting?
Miley- I kissed Cody! (Cries more)
Mark- everything will be ok.
Miley- no it won't! I've just cheated on Joe with my brothers best friend!
Mark- you probably won't remember it tomorrow
Miley- I'm not drunk to the state where I'll pass out and not remember a thing
Mark- but you're drunk enough to kiss jack's best friend?
Miley- I don't know. I don't feel that drunk
Mark- miles you can barely walk
Jack- (comes over) Miley please tell me it's not true
Miley- what?
Jack- everyone's saying you kissed Cody, tell me it's not true (drunk too)
Miley- I would but then I'd be lying
Jack- fuck! I told him to leave you alone!
Miley- what! You knew?
Jack- he said something about thinking you're hot and wanting "your ass" as he put it and I was totally like "dude that's my baby sister. Don't touch her" and he hasn't listened!
Miley- (stands up and pushes him) you idiot! You knew he was gonna try something with me and you didn't think to warn me! Where in this miniature brain of yours did you think that made sense! (hits him more and falls to the floor crying)
Mark- well done Jack, you've never been close and now this is just the icing on the cake (hugs Miley) come on, I'm taking you to bed
Miley- I don't want to go. I'm a big girl mark and you (looks at Jack) don't even talk to me! I hate you for this
Mark- you might be a big girl but you're also drunk
Miley- I don't care I'm not going to bed it's too early
Mark- I give up Miley, you obviously not gonna listen so just go and do what you want and cheat however many times you want because I'm trying to help and you're being a stubborn bitch as usual (walks away)
Miley- (sitting on the grass crying)
Lauren- (sees Miley and feels sorry for her, goes and sits on the grass hugging her) what's happened Miley?
Miley- I don't wanna talk to you about it
Lauren- fine but it doesn't seem like you're gonna get mark back tonight (goes to walk away)
Miley- wait! I'll talk
Lauren- (sits back down) start from the beginning and tell me everything
Miley- (tells her)
Lauren- you should tell your boyfriend
Miley- but what if he breaks up with me
Lauren- at least he'll know the truth if you tell him in your words exactly what happened and he won't find out from someone else but whatever you do don't say it happened because you were drunk that is no excuse for anything. It doesn't make what you've done any better
In New Jersey
Kevin- so are you happy to be back?
Joe- kind of, I just wish Miley was here
Kevin- you've never been off the phone to her
Joe- it's not the same
Kevin- if you say so
Joe- if you had a girlfriend you would understand
Kevin- unlike you I don't need a girlfriend. When the right girl comes along I'll know.
Joe- you know Miley's friend Ashley is a nice girl the way Miley talks about her
Kevin- so you don't know if she is or not?
Joe- Miley's told me a lot about the girls on the team and I believe her
Kevin- well right now I just want to go out and get drunk
Joe- lets go then. Have you told anyone we're home?
Kevin- unless dad has no
Joe- this should be fun then
Kevin- yupp. Are you driving?
Joe- no because I can't get drunk if I drive
Kevin- well I'll get dad to take us
Joe- I'll be down in a minute I need to finish getting ready
Kevin- I swear you're worse than a girl
Joe- I need to look good for the ladies
Kevin- well just remember you've got Miley
Joe- I know
Kevin- I'll be watching you
Joe- no need
At the club
Joe- (drunk dancing with Chelsea)
Chelsea- (wraps her arms around Joe)
Joe- (puts his hands on her waist)
Kevin- (drunk too comes over and pulls Joe off) you've got a girlfriend
Joe- I know you don't need to keep reminding me
Kevin- I don't trust her
Joe- why do you think she's my ex
Kevin- just watch her like a hawk
Joe- I will (walks away and goes back to dancing)
Later-
Joe- (still with Chelsea)
Chelsea- (leans in and kisses him)
Joe- (kisses back)
Chelsea- (pulls away) I missed that
Joe- (looks at her and can't help but think of Miley) Chelsea this can't happen
Chelsea- why not?
Joe- I have a girlfriend
Chelsea- yeah me
Joe- no we broke up. I no longer trust you and you have no one to blame but yourself. In a way though I'm happy you cheated on me with my cousin because if not I might of still been stuck here with you instead of living in California with my girlfriend who just happens to mean the world to me. Now if you'' excuse me I need to go (walks off to find Kevin)
Chelsea- Joe! (he keeps walking)
Joe- (see's Kevin) kev I'm going home
Kevin- you ok?
Joe- I'm fine I just need to get out of here (walks out for a cab)
The next morning
Joe- (wakes up groggy and hungover) ergh (picks his phone up and calls Miley)
Texas
Miley- (wakes up hungover) hello?
Joe- hey it's me
Miley- hey babe you sound rough
Joe- I could say the same about you
At the same time- I need to tell you something
Joe- you go first
Miley- don't hate me please and just know that I'm sorry and I regret everything I done
Joe- what happened Miley
Miley- I kissed my brothers best friend (waiting for him to start shouting and going crazy)
Joe- (sighs) as much as I want to be mad at you I cant
Miley- why?
Joe- I kissed my ex last night, well she kissed me but I still kissed back
Miley- we're both idiots
Joe- you've got that right
Miley- I guess we'll forget about this but make sure it never happens again. There's no point in us being in a relationship if we cant be faithful to each other after only being away from each other for a day
Joe- I guess this shows we'll work. We've proved we can be honest with each other
Miley- yeah we have. I just wish we'd stopped in LA now and none of this would of happened
Joe- me too but its happened now and we can't change the past
Miley- you're right. I guess we've both learned from this
Joe- definitely. I can't lose you
Miley- you won't lose me without a fight
Joe- that's what I like to here
Miley- Joe I want to see you
Joe- you only left 2 days ago
Miley- I know and I want to be back in LA
Joe- I can come to Texas if you want
Miley- you can't do that Joe you need to spend time wit your family
Joe- it's thanksgiving tomorrow I can fly down on black Friday
Miley- but what about your family
Joe- as long as I spend Thursday with them they won't mind
Miley- Joe are you actually serious or are you just saying this?
Joe- I'm being serious. What's your brothers address I'm looking at flights now
Miley- (think's he's messing with her, tells him the address anyway)
Joe- thanks. I'll talk to you later baby I need to go to see my granddad
Miley- (smiles) call me on mark's phone. Mine's still turned off
Joe- no problem. See you Friday
Miley- Joe!
Joe- I mean it mi
Miley- whatever, bye joseph (hangs up) Mark!
Mark- (comes in) what?
Miley- I'm sorry about last night I was stubborn you were right
Mark- it's fine I'll let you off this time. Did you tell joe?
Miley- yeah his ex-girlfriend kissed him too so we talked and we're fine
Mark- that sounds like one strange relationship
Miley- we both made a mistake we can't exactly hate each other for doing the same thing
Mark- Miley?
Miley- yeah?
Mark- stop trying to be smart
Miley- just because I have the brains
Mark- that my friend is where you're wrong
Miley- whatever get out I wanna shower
Mark- or call Joe back
Miley- mark go away!
Lauren- (walking past Miley's room) move it mark! (drags him away)
Friday- 6:00 am
Miley- (wakes up from the phone vibrating) ergh (looks at it "I'm coming baby I'll see you in a few hours", texts back "well I'm normal and I'm sleeping now" goes back to sleep)
Around noon
Mark- (shouting from downstairs) MILEY!
Miley- (doesn't listen)
Lauren- (comes in Miley's room and shakes her) there's someone at the door asking for you
Miley- tell them to go away
Lauren- you don't want to miss this
Miley- (throws the cover off) this better be worth it
Lauren- trust me it will
Miley- (walks downstairs still half asleep and hair everywhere)
Joe- (standing at the door) well don't you look beautiful on a morning
Miley- (looks up) Joe! You came?
Joe- I told you I would
Miley- (runs over to him and wraps her arms around his neck) I missed you
Joe- I missed you too
Miley- (whispers into his neck) I'm sorry
Joe- me too but we'll get passed it (kisses the side if her head)
Miley- (starts dragging Joe upstairs)
Mark- if you can't be good be safe!
Miley- shut up mark! (walks into her room and kisses Joe)
Joe- (kisses back)
Miley- (pushes him on the bed and cuddles into him) night baby
Joe- you're such a tease
Miley- yupp (closes her eyes)
Joe- are you going back to sleep?
Miley- yeah
Joe- Miley it's noon
Miley- so that means it's too early to get up
Joe- (joking) how are you a cheerleader when you're this lazy
Miley- it's the holidays so I need to rest
When Miley wakes up
Miley- (looks up at Joe) can we do something today?
Joe- like what?
Miley- go to the beach
Joe- we're in Houston not LA
Miley- there's a nice beach 2 hours away, I can drive us there
Joe- but it's 2:30 pm it will be to late by the time we get there
Miley- we can stay in a hotel on the beach for the night
Joe- you're serious about this?
Miley- yeah lets go now and we can come back late tomorrow night ready to fly back to LA on Sunday
Joe- get ready and we'll go
Miley- (kisses him) I can't wait to get there
Joe- how can we get there? I don't have a car here and neither do you
Miley- I'll use mark's car
Joe- will he let you?
Miley- if not I'll call mom and she'll make him
Joe- were is your mom?
Miley- on a business trip in new York. She couldn't get out of it but there's perks to being the only girl
Joe- what? You get your own way?
Miley- yupp plus I can be a brat too (smirks)
Joe- so I'll get to witness that if you don't get what you want from me?
Miley- nope because you'll be whipped and I'll just have to bat my eyelid's and you'll do what I want
Joe- really? What if you're the one who gets whipped
Miley- joseph you should learn one thing about me
Joe- what is it?
Miley- I don't get whipped (stands up and starts looking for clothes)
Joe- what do you mean you don't get whipped?
Miley- I don't do what guys tell me (puts her clothes in her a bag)
Joe- we'll see about that
Miley- believe me joe it won't happen
When they're driving
Joe- let me drive
Miley- you don't know where you're going
Joe- you could tell me what way to go
Miley- we'll be there in 20 minutes so there's no point
Joe- you know this is just nasty
Miley- how if this nasty I'm saving you from getting lost
Joe- it just is
Miley- you're a dork joe
Joe- I know but that's what makes me so unique
Miley- ok joe I'm just gonna agree with you
When they get there
Joe- do you wanna check in at a hotel first or go onto the beach
Miley- hotel first I need to put a bikini on
Joe- a bikini in november? (intertwines their fingers and gets their bags)
Miley- it's still pretty warm
Joe- I'll bring a hoody for you because I know you'll get cold eventually
Miley- can you believe we are here
Joe- not really. I never thought I'd be on a beach like this with the most beautiful girl in the world
Miley- that's a lie
Joe- I don't lie
Miley- that was another lie (smiles)
Later
Miley- (sitting on the sand between Joe's legs leaning back on him watching the sun set) you know it feels like I've known you forever
Joe- (has his arms wrapped around her waist resting them on her stomach) yeah it's hard to believe we didn't get along just a few weeks ago
Miley- I'm please we started speaking
Joe- (kisses her cheek) me too
Review Please :')
