Miley's P O.V.

"I thought you two weren't dating." Jared said with an evil smile.

"What do you want?" Jake asked, he looked rather mad at his brother.

"Oh come on, I get home from college to see you and this is what I get?" Jared said sarcastically.

"No, seriously, what do you want?" Jake asked with a hint of anger in his tone.

"All right, all right," Jared said holding his hands up as if to protect himself, "I just came to see what you were doing. You didn't tell me why you were using my computer so I came to find out on my own." He said.

"You can have it back now. We're done with it." I said.

"That doesn't answer my question. What are you two up to?" Jared asked.

"It's about Miley's brother and her friend. There that's what it's about. Happy? Good. Now leave." Jake said.

"Let me guess you are playing matchmaker?" Jared asked.

"Maybe just a little bit." I said holding up my fingers close together to reassure him.

"Oh, no I don't care, in fact I can help. I've done it before." Jared said.

"You ended up with the girl instead of your friend." Jake said with attitude in his voice.

"Same difference." He said like it was no big deal.

"Jared, please, just leave it alone." Jake said, I think he wanted to finish our kiss and surprisingly so did I. Not only was he a good kisser, but I also felt something in the kiss, you know? It was like magic.

"And leave my little brother alone? No way, especially now, I have the perfect view from the doorway and you know if I just happen to call mom upstairs and she just happens to see you two making out..." his voice trailed off.

"Ok, why don't we just have a quick chat in the hallway." Jake said referring to him and his brother. Before Jared could say anything he was being pushed out of the room by Jake. I could hear muffled talking, it was hard to hear but I still could make it out:

"Why did you have to come in then?!" Jake said.

"Well I didn't know you would be making out with her!" Jared snapped back.

"And about that, WHY DID YOU RUIN THE BEST KISS OUT MY LIFE???" Jake yelled, I think it came out louder than he'd wanted it to.

"You know she probably heard that." Jared said.

"Ya think I didn't notice that?!" Jake asked in an angered tone.

"All right, sorry." Jared said defending himself.

"Please, please leave us alone!" Jake pleaded.

"You really like her don't you?" Jared asked.

"You have no idea." Jake said in a knowing voice. There was a long pause then I heard some footsteps.

He re-entered the room and came over to the bed where I was sitting.

"Where were we?" he asked. I smiled and leaned over, he did the same. Soon we were in a deep kiss. I ran my fingers through his hair while we were kissing, he had his arms around my back. Why I was doing this? To tell you the truth I have no idea. He was being pretty great though. He waited in lines for me, even missed a movie premiere, and to top it all off he was helping me get Lily and Jackson together. But it wasn't just the great things he was doing for me that kept me kissing him, it was just that it felt so right. I felt so at home. Like I had lost a part of me and he was the missing part. I knew it couldn't last forever so I pulled away after a minute or so.

"Can I ask you something?" Jake questioned...
