So, I am aware I kinda fell off the face of the earth. But I am back! I don't even think any of my old readers here but oh well! Here I am (: Go ahead and read this finally finished three-shot and I have another author's note at the bottom.

Joe stared at her for a long time. "What are you saying Miley?"

Miley sighed and let tears fall from her eyes. "God, I screwed up so bad," she said as she ran her fingers through her hair in frustration.

Joe stepped closer to her. "Don't cry Miles. Just tell me what you mean."

"I always liked you Joe. But I never thought I had a chance with someone as amazing as you. That's why I settled for Nick. But now…" she stopped talking and sat on the bed.

Joe sat next to her. "Now what?"

"Now…I'm realizing it would have been better to tell you and get rejected than to make the situation worse."

Joe couldn't help but laugh. "I would have never rejected you Miley."

Miley glared at him. "Why on earth are you laughing?"

Joe grinned and put an arm around her. "You're so dumb Miles. I love you. You're my best friend. Even if I didn't return the feelings, which I do, I would never let that screw up our friendship."

Miley was about to say something when there was a knock on Joe's bedroom door. Joe looked up at the door. "Come in," he called out.

The door opened and standing there was Nick. He looked from Joe's arm which was still around Miley to Miley. "So, this is why you acted so dramatic. You wanted to act like it was my fault so you wouldn't feel bad for hooking up with my brother."

Miley's jaw dropped. He really had the nerve to just come in and accuse her of being the bad one in the situation?

Joe took his arm off of her and stood up. "Really Nick? Looks to me like the one trying not to be the bad one in the situation is you. How could you cheat on her dude? I thought you were better than that."

Nick glared at his brother. "You honestly have nothing to do with this. I came in here to talk to Miley, not you bro."

Miley stood up too. "Well I have nothing to say to you. You screwed me over Nick. We're done. There's nothing more to talk about."

Nick laughed and made his way to the door. "Fine Joe. You can have her then. But, trust me, you're going to end up cheating on her too. She never game what I wanted."

Miley let out a gasp as Joe lunged himself at Nick. "Joe, stop!" she yelled. But it didn't look like any of them heard her as they rolled around on the floor throwing punches. Miley looked around helplessly trying to think of something to do to stop them. At that moment, Kevin walked in.

"What the hell?" he yelled out. He grabbed Nick, who was on top of Joe, and pulled him off. "What the heck are you guys thinking?"

Nick shrugged off Kevin's hold on him and glared at Joe who was still on the ground. Joe got up also.

Miley looked at both of them and let more tears fall from her eyes. "I'm so sorry. I need to leave," she managed to say as she ran out of the room.

"Wait, Miley!" Joe called after her. But she was already out the front door of the house. "Way to go Nick," he said angrily.

"Why don't you go to your room Nick?" Kevin suggested. Nick turned to walk out and then turned back to Joe. They stared at each other silently and suddenly Nick brought his fist up and punched Joe right in the eye.

Nick turned back again. "Now I'm done," he said and walked into his room slamming the door behind him. Kevin stood there speechless as Joe knelt down grabbing his eye in pain.

Kevin finally spoke. "Um, I'll get some ice."

Miley lay on her bed listening to her iPod, and let the tears roll down her face. She never wanted to be that girl that broke up a family. But that was exactly what had happened. Miley suddenly felt like there was a presence in the room with her. She looked up and saw Joe standing by the door. She took her headphones out of her ears and sat up.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

"I came to see you. Sorry if I scared you, but I was knocking for a while."

Miley gestured to her iPod and walked up to him. "Oh my gosh, your eye!"

Joe nodded, "Yeah, Nick got one in pretty good after you left." Miley put a hand to his face and he flinched. She pulled her hand away quickly.

"Sorry, does it hurt?" she asked.

"Just a little," he said putting his hand to his eye. Miley wrapped her arms around him in a hug. "I'm so so sorry Joe," she apologized. "I never meant for all of this to happen."

Joe hugged her back. "Miley, it's okay. He was mad, and his anger got the best of him."

Miley looked at him and suddenly feeling confident, gave him a kiss on the cheek. Joe grinned at her. "What was that for?" he asked.

"You looked like you needed it," she smiled, then pulled away from him. Joe pouted.

"I kind of liked that position," he said and Miley laughed. Then she got serious and looked at him. "What's wrong?" he asked.

Miley turned and sat on her bed. "How are we going to do this Joe?" she asked as she turned off her iPod that was still on.

"What do you mean? It will be just like any other relationship. Except, you know, it'll be forever," he said.

Miley couldn't help but smile. "I'm serious Joe. People are going to talk so much crap."

Joe rolled his eyes. "So let them. We know the truth. Besides, nothing about us should concern them."

"I guess you're right," she said slowly, staring at the floor. Joe sat next to her.

"Of course I'm right," he grinned. "Now, no more freaking out okay? Me and Nick will work things out, and everything will be okay."

Miley nodded. "If you're sure..." she said.

"Positive!" he said happily. "It should've been you and I from the beginning," he told her as he wrapped an arm around her, pulling her close.

Miley frowned. "Yeah, sorry I screwed things up so much."

Joe let out an annoyed sigh. "Would you please stop apologizing? We're good."

Miley rolled her eyes and smiled up at him. "Fine. We're good." Joe grinned down at her and leaned down to give her a nice long kiss.
