"I can't believe we're in jail."

"Happens all the time. Don't worry about it." Joe walked towards the corner of the cell and slumped on the bed. He dug his hands in his pockets and casually began to rock back and forth.

"We're in jail, Joe," his female companion pronounced. Her piercing blue eyes dug into his warm, chocolate ones. He finally tore his gaze away from her and look towards the black bars.

"Hey, friends bail you out of jail. Best friends are sitting there next to you saying it was totally worth it, right?" he joked. Miley's glare iced up again, sending a shiver down his spine. She was about to begin another tirade when the police officer started to unlock the cell.

"You guys have been bailed out," the officer announced. He slung back the bars and led the pair out. "Just sign some papers and you can walk."

"Oh, god, now I have to face Denise," Miley groaned. "And not to mention Nick!" she hissed at Joe and continued to walk towards the cop's desk.

"Don't worry, my mom doesn't bail me out...usually. And Nick is just Nick. He doesn't go near police stations," he whispered. He grabbed a pen and started to sign some papers. He nodded at the officer and waited for Miley to finish his previous actions.

"So you get arrested often?" Miley asked as the two turned around and walked towards the door. He shrugged back. Once Miley saw the morning sun, she looked over to a girl who was leaning against a sleek car across the street. Joe picked up into a slow jog and Miley followed.

"Hey, Demi," he greeted the mysterious person. The raven haired girl nodded at Joe and turned towards Miley.

"You must be Miley," she grinned. She stuck out her hand and Miley reciprocated the action. "I'm Demi, as Joe just said. I'm your pick you up from jail girl, apparently," Demi glared at Joe, who shrugged it off.

"Yeah, screw the introductions. I have stuff to do. So, just take her home," he nodded over to Miley. Demi crossed her arms and gave her friend an incredulous look.

"Denise is flipping out, Joe. Not a good time to go M.I.A."

"Just for a couple of hours," he pleaded. He rolled his eyes finally and held up a hand, calling a cab. "I'll be back, I promise," he shouted as he hopped into the yellow vehicle. Demi watched the car roll off and she beeped her car open.

"Come on, let's get you home."

"Okay," Miley meekly responded. She wasn't ready to face Denise or Nick just yet. After all, she had just gotten arrested. She was supposed to be making a good impression. The car geared into drive and Demi zoomed across the road.

"So, you're Miley," she said casually.

"Yeah, I'm Miley."

"So, how is the week going so far?"

"Sorry, don't mean to sound rude or anything, but who are you," Miley shifted her position so she was facing the driver. Demi side glanced at her and started to pull the car over. She parked in a shady spot and turned to her companion.

"Who am I," she pondered. She looked at Miley one last time before preceding to answer the question. "I've been a family friend of the Lucas' for awhile." Miley silently nodded at her answer and looked at the window.

"Why are we parked in a random place?

"Just kind of figured you need some time before heading back."

"I was just arrested for the first time in my life."

"Yup I've had a lot of first with Joe too." Miley gave her friend a quizzical look until Demi's eyes lit up with realization."Not like that," she blushed. She hid her face in her arms and started laughing hysterically. "God, I need to think before I speak," she giggled. She held her breath for a couple of seconds and tried to steady herself.

"So, what did you mean by that," Miley chuckled. She waited as Demi calmed herself down and finally looked up. She was still a little flushed up, but she could finally get a response out.

"The first time I got drunk was with Joe. The first time I got a detention was with him. He always knows how to find trouble," Demi mumbled. "We even got into a police chase once," she confessed. Miley tilted her head in curiosity, but Demi rolled her eyes. "Don't ask."

"So, whats the deal with everyone," Miley pulled up her legs and sat cross legged on the seat in order get comfortable.

"Well...Denise has a plan for everyone," Demi chuckled bitterly. "Kevin follows it. Joe rebels from it and well Nick...I don't know what he does." Miley's ears perked up at the mention of Nick's name.

"Wait, so you don't talk to Nick much," Miley asked as her curiosity peaked. It seemed as though no one in the house really knew Nick much.

"Well, now I do. Nick talking has been sort of a recent phenomena. I was pretty surprised when he said a girlfriend." Miley stayed silent as she summed up her thoughts. "I mean I know about some of his music stuff," Demi added as an afterthought.

"Some?" Miley inquired. Nick had mentioned that a couple of his friends knew, but she hadn't ever seen them at any of his shows.

"He's super private about that stuff. He's private about everything, but yeah. Shouldn't you know this?" Demi asked.

"No, he's never been shy around me. We met because I was his manager and well...we just clicked and we became really good friends pretty quickly. He asked me out and things just went from there," she supplied Demi with information.

"Wait, so he's never been shy around you?" Demi clarified. Miley shook her head as a response and slumped into her chair. "Weird. He must really like you," she commented. A light blush formed on Miley's cheeks and she rolled her eyes, shrugging off Demi's compliment.

"Ehhhhmagawed. You soooo like him back," Demi playfully added to Miley's embarrassment. The brunette shoved her back and huffed.

"Puhlease, gurl. I so do not." Demi started laughing and the two howled in their own enjoyment together. Demi was the first one to stop as she shook her head, trying to calm her counterpart down. "Okay," Miley put her hand to her chest and closed her fit of giggles.

"So, is Nick intense with his music?" Demi asked as they finally started to gear back into a normal mood.

"Yeah, he's so good on stage. Its like he really loves it." A small smile appeared on Miley's face as she recounted the countless nights she had watched Nick perform. "He has an incredible stage presence."

"Wow, he hides his whole life from us. I guess he isn't going into the family business like Kevin," Demi chuckled. She bit her lip. "And at least he isn't acting out like Joe."

"About Kevin, why is he getting married so young. He's like twenty five or something, right?" Demi nodded and just shrugged.

"Its Denise's plan for them. She wants them all packaged up and ready to ship off into the business world."

"Yeah, well this the first wedding in the family, everyone must be really excited," Miley added.

"Its technically not the first in the family," Demi giggled. She looked over at Miley, expecting the girl to be laughing around with her. Unfortunately for her, Miley was dead silent with confusion.

"What do you mean by that?" her voice was laced with curiosity and hurt.

"I just thought Nick would have told you. Its nothing," Demi quickly covered up. She waited a couple of seconds for Miley's reaction. "Its really nothing."

"He was married?" Miley choked out. Her eyes were wide with horror as she absorbed this unknown information. Demi looked down in shame as she realized what she had done.

"It wasn't like that, Miley. It was a complete accident."

"Explain." That one word was strong and forceful.

"We were in Vegas one night for his twenty first birthday. And Nick's a pretty quiet guy, but when he gets drunk, he does stupid things. Really stupid things, Miley," she watched as the girl beside her started to lose her bubbly personality. Miley closed her arms around her and blinked her eyes before looking up at Demi.

"I think its better if I go back now," she surrendered. They both buckled up their seat belts before Demi signaled and started towards the Lucas' house. Miley definitely needed some questions answered.
