Miley's POV

Crying didn't help. It only made my skin drier and paler. My eyes stared at his pale lips resting on top of her glossed ones.

I couldn't believe this was actually happening.

I clicked on the link to read the article. This all took place at the fair down in Toluca Lake.

People saw them walking around, sharing an ice cream cone. She was wearing his jacket on the

Ferris wheel, where they kissed. I gulped down the salty tears and sniffed loudly. My hands traveled into my pocket where I gently tapped the screen to call Joe. Before I reached the third digit my phone starting ringing.

"Hello?" I whispered in a hoarse voice.

"Hey, Miley," his voice danced in my ears. "What's up? Are you ok?" Now, why would I be ok after seeing them kiss? "Miles?"

I caught the concern in his voice and regained mine. I was ready to take in my acting skills. "Yea I am Nick. I just sneezed," I replied with a soft giggle. I was determined to not let my feelings show through.

"Oh, well in that case 'God Bless You'"

"Thanks,"

"So what are you up to? I haven't talked to you in a while."

Maybe in a while because you were kissing her, I mentally thought. "Nothing much… I hung out with Joe yesterday." I replied. He should know I was hanging out with his brother. Maybe it would spark a nerve of jealousy.

"Oh, really? I thought I saw you…" his voice dropped. I smiled to myself.

"Yea, it was fun. What about you?" my voice was questioning as I held my phone closer to my left ear. I wanted to hear his answer.

"I…"

Was he going to lie through the phone?

"Oh, sorry Miley I need to get to the recording studio. I promise I'll call you later." His words rushed and ended with the obnoxious dial tone.

I sighed to myself and squeezed my eye lids closed. It just wasn't fair.

Nick's POV

"Nick?"

I turned around to face Kevin. He was smiling while holding onto the phone.

"Yea Kev?"

"We won three awards at the KCAs!"

"Really?" I asked while lifting my eyes into his. I forced my lips into a slim grin.

"Yea! Nick you seem excited?"

"Yea, I am. My uh sugar is low. I need to eat something." I lied.

"Oh, alright. Mom is taking us to start shopping for something to wear at the show so be ready."

I watched as he turned around and walked away. I could hear him mumble Joe the news which was followed with a loud scream from Joe.

I smiled and shook my head. I wanted to tell Miley and find out how she did but I was supposed to be at the recording studio.

I couldn't believe I lied to her, hung up on her, and ditched her. She was eventually going to figure out about Selena and me. But, I didn't want her to. I sighed deeply and rested my head on my hand. It just wasn't fair.

Demi's POV

"Please don't forget about me…" I sang the last line and strummed the last chord. My eyes were glued onto the picture of me and Selena with Barney. We used to be best friends. I sighed and went over to my phone. I tapped it gently and waited for a new message or a missed call to come up… but there was nothing.

I decided to call Selena myself. Maybe she could explain why she doesn't talk to me as much. I pressed the cold phone up to my ear and sat down on the couch.

"Hey Demi!" her loud voice filled the silence after the first ring.

"Hey Sel!" I exclaimed. I was happy to hear her voice, but then I remembered why I called.

"Are you going to tell me about your date with Nick?" I asked eagerly.

"Yes, of course. Who else would I tell?"

"Well you could tell Jen, or David, Taylor or even Mi-" I quickly stopped talking before I finished her name. Miley. Miley likes Nick. Nick likes Miley. Why is Selena intruding?

"Who?" she asked, just as eager as me.

I held my breath and took a risk, "Miley," I answered in a soft tone.

"Oh, yea…"

I could hear Selena's hesitation through the phone. She knew the feelings Miley and Nick shared.

"I mean I guess I could tell her but she probably already knows from rumors and stuff."

"Yea," I whispered.

"So…" she dragged out. " Nicholas… Jerry… Jonas… kissed me!" she squealed.

I forced a smile on my face. " Wow, that's great Sel…"

"You aren't happy?"

How could I be happy? My best friend is practically stealing my other best friend's soul mate.

"Of course I am!" I lied.

"Oh, so it felt good."

"What felt good?"

"Kissing him. His lips are soft and the kiss was emotional." Her voice was sincere and gentle. I sighed softly while I tried to push the future out of my mind.

"That's sweet Selena."

"Demi?"

"Yeah?"

"I really think he's the one."

"WHAT?" I stood up from the chair and gripped harder onto the phone.

"I really like him Demi,"

I could almost imagine her shrugging her shoulders. I gritted my teeth and forced my feelings out. Selena could not think Nick was the 'one'.

"Sel, don't you think you're moving too fast?" I asked, while I tried to control my temper.

"Nope."

I imagined her shrug her thin shoulders again. I couldn't take it anymore.

"Well, I need to go bye." I lied and fell back onto my bed. My fingers ran through my hair.

"This can not be happening." I stated.

I brought my phone to my face and began to dial Joe's number to see if Nick had any news about this.

"Hey you reached Joe's phone," this voice wasn't Joes… "Leave a message after the beep," it was high pitched and female, "Beeeeeeeep!" the voice laughed and I hung up. It sounded like Taylor Swift.

I groaned and pushed my weight on one side. My eyes began to slowly close as I witnessed all of the possible outcomes this drama can turn into it.

Joe's POV

I ran into my room, almost slipping on the rug lying on the floor. I scanned my room for my ringing phone. Once my fingers met the phone's cold surface the ringing stopped.

Demi called, and I missed her

"Oh shit." I whispered to myself. She must have heard Taylor's message. What if she thinks we're dating?

"Oh, no" I mumbled to no one. I fell backwards onto my bed and groaned. I could only think of what Demi is thinking right now.
