A/N: Hello World, it's Tiffany, wow the response to the story has been ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Thanks you guys for all the amazing reviews, Amy and I have been flooded with reviews, and it makes us extremely happy to see such an overwhelming response to everything. You guys are amazing, and we really hope you guys like the story... just a few notes. The first few chapters will be on the sadder side, we needed both characters to come to terms with Nick's death... (that's extremely hard to write since, I'm a Niley fan... and i know a lot of people are too.) so the chapter have a lot of tears. Amy and I both cried writing the first five chapters of this story, so please bare with us for the beginning stages, we promise to try to deliver A Moe that will hopefully land on everyone's favorite list.

But just keep in mind, that we are both in college, and we both have a life, so we can not and will not be able to update as frequently. We try to have chapters written before, so we don't fall behind schedule, so we had set a review count that needed to be met before we update. But we had no idea the response would be this amazing... so here is an update for you guys... I hope you guys like it.

Props to Our Beta... Paige, we love you. I love you.

This chapter is dedicated to a special girl in Dallas, TX, her name is Katy... and she is amazing... check out her Niley stories, they are the best! And for those who read KxAxT collaborative, there is a new update. Sorry we were falling behind... i guess living in three different area, plus the whole time different really gets in the way of writing.

Chapter Two

Saying Goodbye

Part One

-The Funeral-

Normal POV

The church was full; people by the hundreds had come to pay their respects to a truly talented artist. He had touched so many people in his short life, in more ways than anyone could express.

His immediate family, and close friends were seated at the front of the church. Miley was amongst them, looking at the ground…too afraid to look anywhere else. Kevin looked over at her, taking in everything he saw…they were all hurting more than anyone could imagine, but he knew that no one could be hurting more than Miley.

He slid across the seat and gently placed his arm around her. She looked up at him quickly before returning her gaze to the ground. Ever since she found out that Nick had passed away she hasn't said a word to anyone. Everyone was worried about her, but they knew she would come to them when she was ready, comforting her when they could.

The priest stood up the front, saying a number of words that Miley ignored. She didn't want to hear what someone who had probably never had a conversation with Nick had to say. He would never be able to give Nick the justice he deserved. If she had the strength she would have given anything to be able to get up in front of everyone and tell them what a wonderful person he was, but she wasn't ready…she couldn't even speak…let alone mention his name out loud. To her, talking about it made it too real and she wasn't ready to let go yet.

Joes POV

I had been asked to give the eulogy at my brother's funeral. It was such an honor, and yet it was also a burden to be asked. I mean how was I supposed to tell the world in one speech how amazing he truly was. No one could possibly relate to the pain that my family and I had to feel, there was so much I wanted to say about him and I wanted the people here to understand how special my little brother was and he could never be forgotten.

As I was asked to come up, my heart sank. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to do this, but I had to be strong…if not for myself…for my family…for Miley. They needed me to be strong, and I wasn't going to let them down.

"Nicholas Jerry Jonas, there isn't many words on this earth that could help me describe my little brother. He was so many things…and more. I remember the time…"

I continued to tell them about some funny stories I remember from our childhood. There were so many moments in my life he had been a huge part of, and it broke my heart as I started to realize I would no longer have him by my side. I choked as I gripped onto the paper I had written my speech on, the paper clung to my hand, as the tears fell fast.

"I…I…" I took a deep breath, wiped the tears from my face and looked up at the audience. My eyes focused on my mother, her face was red and puffy. Our eyes locked and she gave me a weak smile and nodded, encouraging me to continue.

"I remember the first time we wrote a song together. 'Please be Mine'", I allowed myself to smile, "Nick had been working on his solo album, and was so keen for Kevin and I to get involved so we decided to write a song for his album. Whoever would have guessed back then what was about to happen to us. We have had so much success and fame and there is no one that we can thank but Nick. He did it all, without him none of it ever would have happened," I gulped, the tears were taking over, I couldn't hold it back anymore…they ran down my face, "And I want to thank him, thank you Nick…Thank you for being in my life, thank you for being you, thank you for believing in us, and never giving up, when everyone else had. Thank you for giving us the courage and strength. " and with that I broke down… the pain could no longer be suppressed as it took over me; I couldn't hold it in any longer.

Normal POV

Joe's legs gave way and he collapsed on the floor. The piece of paper still in his hands, like it was his life support. He broke out into a burst of sobs, curling up next to the podium, as his head drooped, his hands on the ground, no longer any will to push himself up.

Kevin immediately sprang out of his chair and ran up next to Joe, collapsing to the ground. He grabbed his brother pulling him into his chest, as Joe face pressed hard against his chest. Kevin was also crying, the tears falling uncontrollably, trying his best to be there for his brother…but it was hard, no one can ever imagine the feeling of loosing a brother unless it has happened to them. The pain they had to endure of losing someone who had such a great impact on their lives and the lives of those around them. This was something these boys never wished upon anyone, it was a feeling that you could never get over, it was only a feeling you could only hope to accept one day.

Miley looked up at the two brothers huddled on the floor, clinging to each other as if one of them was about to disappear. Tears were silently running down her face…she wanted nothing more than to run up and tell them it was going to be ok…but the truth was she didn't even believe that herself, how could everything be ok? Nick was gone…and he wasn't coming back. That was the hardest truth to accept, the fact that no matter how hard she wished that she could wake up from this nightmare, he wouldn't be back, he was gone... forever.

-The Wake-

Mileys POV

Everyone had gathered at the Mr and Mrs Jonas' house for the wake. So many people had turned up but I couldn't tell you who any of them were. Everything was such a blur to me even if I saw their face I wouldn't have been able to tell you who they were. They only person I noticed was Joe. He had been sitting next to me the entire time since we got back.

I knew he was struggling as much as I was; he and Nick had always been the closest. I sensed that by Joe being near me, it eased a little bit of his pain. I was a strong link to his Nick, and somehow I think that gave him some strength. I wanted so badly to put my arms around him and comfort him, but I couldn't…it was too hard.

Normal POV

You couldn't describe the atmosphere at the wake as miserable, there were many people telling funny stories about Nick, and expressing their sorrow to his family.

Miley sat in the same spot the entire time; everyone was approaching her…letting her know that everything was going to be ok. But no one believed she even heard them, she just looked at their faces blankly, and looked away. Her father had tried to get her to eat something, but she refused. She was sinking into her own little world…and no one knew how to reach her.

The wake lasted many hours, but slowly the guests started to leave. The family finally had a chance to sit down and talk to each other about the funeral. It had been a long day for everyone, it had been a long week, but they were slowly getting through it day by day.

Joe's POV

I was so glad when the house was finally empty. I didn't want to talk to anyone anymore, I wanted to block it out and pretend nothing was happening. The day had dragged on and all I wanted to do was go to my room and forget about it for a few hours while I slept.

I had sat with Miley for most of the afternoon, I knew she wasn't speaking to anyone but I wanted to comfort her. The truth was, it was comforting for me to sit with her, and it took some attention from the guests off me. We sat their in silence for the whole afternoon, every so often I would try to give her a weak smile…but she never returned it.

I saw her still sitting on the couch, her legs pulled into her chest…starring into space. I walked over to her, "Miley, do you want me to take you home?"

She looked up at me, her expression didn't change…her eyes were blank. I had never seen her like this, and it broke my heart.

She slowly stood up and picked up her bag and walked out to the car, not bothering to say goodbye. My whole family watched her leave, my mom walked over to me, "Make sure she is ok before you leave her…she hasn't been to their house since it happened. If she needs anything call me ok?" I nodded and left.

We arrived at her apartment. Miley and Nick had moved in together when they were 20…it was easier that way since Miley's family had moved back to Tennessee and she wanted to stay in California, she didn't want to live by herself, and Nick wanted to move out so they decided to give it a chance.

I followed her inside to make sure she was ok. She didn't even look around at me when we opened the door…she just walked solemnly towards the bedroom. She shut the door behind her so I decided to leave a note on the fridge telling her to call me if she needed, and I left.
