Chapter 2: Too Late

It had been more then a week that Joe had seen Miley and none of his brothers were talking to him either. He felt a broken connection, something he knew was beyond his ability.

Jonas household

"Kevin? Are you in here?" Joe asked as he kicked the door of Kevins room. He felt the shiver of the beach and whirled, in shrieking surprise and defiance. He clawed the space between him and the door, his eyes bright with fury. He wrenched himself in one quick move when he heard Kevin inside.

There were light footsteps, the whisper of air stirred by an opening door. The footsteps got closer, the coolness had gone.

"What do you want?" Kevin asked, slightly opening the door, looking at him with half expectations.

"Will you let me come in?"

Kevin glanced at him and with a sigh he held the door open. Joe chuckled under his breath, radiant with belief .

"Make this quick! I don't have all day!" Kevin smothered as he sat on the near edge of his bed.

"Look, I need you to help me. Miley hasn't talked to me since the day of the party and I really need to fix things….." he trailed off.

"wait..wait..you figured this out now?" Kevin interrupted.

"I'm sorry, I havn't had time to think properly, nothing seems right without her, I have nothing to look forward to and I know you can help me!" Joe said. His intentions were true and it was easy to tell with the way he structured his words.

"Bro, you've just gotta apologize first, you hurt her bad and I still don't know if Nick's gonna forgive you for this!"

Joe went to his room, slamming it behind him, he picked his guitar up and started strumming on it as he tried thinking of all the times they spent together, he tooki his mobile out as he tried holding himself together.

He pressed speed dial, he knew she wouldn't pick up and to his surprise, she did.

"Hey Miles!" Joe exclaimed, before she could hang up, he knew he had to explain it right, he already knew she was broken, that part wouldn't surprise him, but he'd need to know the extent to it. But, even as he recognized that necessity, he knew he would take her in spite of it all.

"Listen, I know you don't wanna talk to me but Miles you have to, can you please meet me at the beach?"

"I don't know, I'm pretty busy here." Miley responded. She knew she had to commit to this- commit as much of her as there was left, everyone of the broken pices. It was the only way to be fair to him. But would she? Could she?

"Miley look, just meet me at the beach in 10 minutes!" With that Joe hung up and dashed out.

Joe arrived at the beach before he had any sign of what she was doing or where she was. Even if the love he felt for her was no more then a weak echo of what he was capable of, even if his heart was far away, wandering and grieving with the truth.

He couldn't imagine his life without her he cringed away from the idea of even trying to imagine that, Somehow she had become essential to his survival.

He sat there waiting for her, to look at her beautiful crystal blue eyes once more, to have her in his arms again, to look at her flawless beauty.

He felt a stab of pain as he wondered why she was taking this long, but before he could further proceed with the thought he felt her warm arms on his shoulder and shuddered at the feeling.

He turned to her, the wind was whipping of the blue water as he shoved his hands deep into his pockets of his jacket. He found what he was looking for before he knew he was looking for it. He picked his way carefully across the rocks, just the vague shape of the waters edge was showing. It materialized out of the gloom when it was just a few feet away.

"Hey Miles!" Joe enveloped her into a bear hug, but before he could untangle himself from this immediate interaction, he noticed her cheeks were slightly cold and wet.

"Miles, are you crying?.... What's wrong?" He stepped away taking only her hand this time.

"I know that what I did was wrong and I am so sorry, I can't tell you…I ca't describe-"

"But you did," she cut him off mid-sentence.

"What? What are you talking about?

"Joe I found this on the floor when I was on my way and I've never heard anything more beautiful," She curled out a long piece of paper as it glistened in the sunlight.

Joe shoved his hand into his pocket, searching. He couldn't find it. Now and then his eyes flickered furtively from the sand to the beautiful serene horizon.

"Iv'e got it Joe and I love it!" She muttered,

"Can I read it for you?"

He took a step forward. The pallid light of the moon turned his skin a perfect white, like that sand, like the moon it self and he slowly started reading-

" When I'm with you,
eternity is a step away,
my love continues to grow,
with each passing day.

This treasure of love,
I cherish within my soul,
how much I love you...
you'll never really know.

You bring a joy to my heart,
I've never felt before,
with each touch of your hand,
I love you more and more."

Miley looked up at him and slowly departed to his side, her colds hand facing down, her hair slowly flowing with the motion of the wind.

"Whenever we say goodbye,
whenever we part,
know I hold you dearly,
deep inside my heart.

So these seven words,
I pray you hold true,
"Forever And Always,
I Will Love You."

"Beautiful" miley muttered un her breath, "Thank you so much, I love you to…forever."

Jonas household

The phone started ringing, surprisingly no one cared to answer it until Joe came in and took it off at the 4th ring.

"Hello"

"Hi, is this Mr Jonas?"

"No I'm Joseph Jonas, my dad is out for a while, is anything wrong?"

"Joe? Its Rob! Listen, theres some great news!"

"Hey Big Rob, whats up?"

"I just signed you in for the Burning Up tour and guess who's coming with you?"

"Kevin? Nick?" Joe responded lamely, sarcasm drooling over his well driven words.
