Thanks for all the reviews, well here's another chapter. I hope you enjoy this chapter.
:::::::::::: Tuesday Night at the Jonas' :::::::::::::
"Okay Nick be a man, do the right thing" Nick said pacing in his room, getting ready to go and talk to Joe. The whole not talking to Miley and having Joe not talking to Miley, the fights, it was all bothering him and wanted it too end even if it mean letting Joe and Miley get together.
"Alright I have to do this" Nick said letting of a breath that he had been holding, and went towards his bedroom door opening it. He went down the hallway and knocked on Joe's door.
"What?" Joe yelled from his bedroom, Nick took that as a come in and opened the door
"Hey" Nick said quietly making Joe look at him
"What do you want?" Joe glared taking out an earphone from his ear and paused his Ipod
"I wanted to talk" Nick said walking farther in and closing the door
"What makes you think that I want to talk to you?" Joe asked putting his earphone back in and pressing play again, Nick rolled his eyes and pulled the plugs from his ears and rolled his Ipod into his hands so he would listen to him.
"Because I have to tell you something that you might want to hear" Nick said sitting on Joe's computer chair
"What is it?" Joe asked hoping it was the thing he had been waiting to hear
Nick nervously spun around in the chair for a few seconds and than ran a hand through his curls, before looking at his brother.
"Look I am sorry for everything that has been happening" Nick started to say "I knew that you liked her I should have never done what I did, I just wanted to see if I did ask her out if it would change her feelings, and well it didn't" Nick said
"I know, it was just so I don't know sudden" Joe said
"Yeah, it was kind of random wasn't it?" Nick asked
"Yeah" Joe said nodding
"Look, I am sorry" Nick said "I should have just left it alone, I knew she liked you it was obvious"
"It's alright" Joe said "I mean I didn't even realize I liked her until about two weeks and then once I found out from Miley that you were going to ask her out I got freaked out"
"Miley knew I was going to ask her out?" Nick asked finally looking up at Joe
"Yeah, she told me in computer class about that morning where you were interrupted by the bell" Joe said
"Oh, yeah" Nick said remembering that day
"Yeah" Joe said nodding and then looked at his eye "So your eye is healing up pretty good"
"Yeah, you gave it a good whack though" Nick said feeling his eye which was still a little swollen
"I know" Joe smirked
"But anyway you can have her, I am through, I am moving onto better girls" Nick said
"Better girls?" Joe asked
"Well, you know what I mean" Nick smiled
"Yeah" Joe nodded and winked
"So when are you going to tell her?" Nick asked
"So let me get make this official, your giving me permission to ask Miley out?" Joe asked
"Well you were the one that had her wrapped around your finger" Nick said
"Dude, just say it" Joe said anxiously
"I will let you ask Miley out" He laughed, as if he was hers in the first place
"Cover for me" Joe said getting off his bed
"What do you mean cover for you?" Nick asked
"I mean…if mom or dad come in to check on me, cover me" Joe said opening his window and going over to his shoes and slipping them on
"You're going to sneak out?" Nick asked
"The sooner I tell her, the better" Joe said "Please can you just cover for me?"
"Go" Nick said pointing towards the window
"Thank you so much, and I forgive you" Joe said giving his brother a brotherly hug.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah just go" Nick said letting go, Joe smiled and climbed out of his window and down the tree onto the ground. Nick watched as Joe snuck to the front of the house in the dark.
Joe ran to the front of the house and grabbed his bike and quietly got away before his parents saw. He didn't take his car so that his parents didn't see the lights. He rode his bike out of his driveway and down the rode. When he finally arrived at Miley's house he parked his bike in some weeds. He looked up to where Miley's room was and saw that her light was still on. He smiled and grabbed some rocks from the ground and bounced them in his hands and through a couple at the same time at her window.
He watched her shadow in her room get closer to the door, and saw her open.
"I don't know who you but I have a huge dad who will kick your butt" Miley said stepping onto her porch farther
"Oh yeah?" Joe asked laughing
"Joe?" Miley said confused as she leaned over the rail and looked down to see Joe in the tiny light that was provided.
"It's me"
"What do you want?" Miley asked with an attitude
"Look I want to talk to you" Joe said
"What makes you think I want to talk to you?" Miley asked crossing her arms over her chest,
"Please come down and talk to me" Joe begged
"Fine" Miley said rolling her eyes and going into her room shutting it behind her. Joe stood outside pacing a little waiting for her to come out. He heard her talking to her dad about her coming out to get some fresh air, and heard the back door open and close revealing Miley.
"Talk" She said crossing her arms awkwardly and putting a piece of her bangs behind her ear.
"Look I am sorry for what happened at the beach" Joe said "I didn't mean what I said"
"We already went over this I get it, you don't like me" Miley said embarrassed that this was coming up again, she really didn't want to get rejected again by him
"No what I mean is, I didn't mean the whole thing about not meaning the whole conversation we had" Joe said
"Why should I believe you?" Miley asked "I mean it sounded like you meant it"
"Because when have I ever lied to you, I mean like seriously lied to you?" Joe asked, Miley looked around and switched feet.
"Never" She mumbled
"Miley I really, really like you" Joe said smiling at Miley, which made her eyes go directly to him
"Then why did you say you didn't?" Miley asked
"I didn't want to hurt Nick's feelings" Joe said
"You didn't have to hurt mine" Miley said
"I know that now, and I am truly sorry" Joe said going closer to Miley and went she didn't back up he took that as a good sign. He grabbed her hands and looked at her. It took him a few seconds to get something to come out of her mouth.
"Me too" Miley said "You know for saying that I hate you and all"
"You had a good reason" Joe said
"Yeah I did" Miley admitted
"So do you forgive me?" Joe asked
"I'm not sure?" Miley said smirking
"What if I was to ask you something?" Joe asked
"Maybe…" Miley said getting butterflies in her stomach hoping that the moment was coming.
"What do you mean maybe?" Joe asked tilting his head in confusion
"It depends on the question" Miley said
"Well the question is… do you want to be my girlfriend?" Joe asked looking hopeful
"Hmm…" Miley said playing with Joe's fingers, Joe let out a shaky laugh
"This is where you answer" Joe said also playing with her hands
"Hmm… I think I can deal with being called your girlfriend" She said smiling up at him
"So that's a yes?" Joe asked with his insides bubbling with excitement
"That's a definite yes" Miley said "I really like you too, but you got to promise me that you won't let anything stupid get in the way or you not saying anything like that again"
"I promise" Joe said taking her hands up to his mouth and kissing them
"Good" Miley said looking at him and smiled then quickly letting go of his hands and wrapping her hands around Joe and hugging him burying her head in the crook of his neck.
"I missed you" Miley said and her breath tickling Joe's neck "Us not talking killed me"
"I know the feeling, I missed you too" Joe said kissing Miley's head, Miley moved her head so she was looking at him in the eyes. Joe leaned down slowly and captured her lips in a slow kiss. Miley had broke it and hugged him closely again.
"You know I'm going to like these parts" Joe said laughing, Miley picked her head up and smacked his chest "Don't even lie, you know you will to"
"Yeah…" Miley said smiling "And I can do it whenever I want to, I can hug you whenever I want to, I cuddle with you whenever I want to, I can do almost whatever I want to whenever I want to"
"Trust me I won't stop you" Joe said smiling and leaning down to kiss her again
"Good" Miley mumbled against his lips and her arms going around his neck. Miley deepened the kiss and stood on her toes. Joe picked her up and spun her around, causing Miley to break the kiss and giggle. Joe sat her on the ground and looked at her.
"So were together, you know officially?" Joe asked
"Yeah" Miley said nodding and smiling
"Yeah" Joe said nodding too and then laughed and put a hand on the top of Miley's hair and rubbed a hand down it. "So black?"
"Yeah" Miley said embarrassed "I wanted a change"
"Why black?" Joe asked "I think the hair cut was enough"
"I thought you liked it?" Miley asked running a hand through it and look at it in the corner of her eyes, the light barely shining on it but it was easily seen because it was jet black.
"When did I say that?" Joe asked
"At the lunch table yesterday I heard you mumble it" Miley said
"Oh, I wasn't thinking straight" Joe said
"So you don't like it?" Miley asked worried
"I am sure I will get used to it" Joe said playing with the ends of it
"I'll dye it back in a week or two, I don't want it to fry" Miley said
"It looks fine Miles" Joe reassured her
"The truth is, I thought I liked it at first but now I think it's really dark" Miley said taking her hands out of her hair and looking back at him "I think I like my brown hair better. It doesn't make me look as pale"
"It is dark" Joe admitted "Brown does look better on you, but seriously the black isn't that bad."
"So how did you get out of the house, I mean aren't you grounded?" Miley asked as the fact that he was here at eleven o'clock
"Crap! I need to get back" Joe said "Nick is covering for me"
"So Nick knows you here?" Miley asked nervous that the two brothers were still fighting. She felt so horrible, over everything. One for breaking Nick's heart, two for Joe breaking her heart, and three for her breaking up the brothers.
"Yeah, we made up" Joe nodded, glad that Nick and him where good now. He hated it when they would get in a fight.
"Aw" Miley said smiling
"Yeah, his eye's clearing up pretty well" Joe said
"I still can't believe you gave him a black eye" Miley said remembering seeing the mess that Joe created on Nick's eye
"Well I like to fight for my girls" Joe said winking at her
"You didn't have to punch him in the eye though" Miley said lightly punching him on the arm
"You should see what he did to my stomach" Joe said lifting up his shirt to show a bruise
"Aw Joey" Miley said feeling his stomach and rubbing it where the bruise was
"Yeah" Joe said shaking his head, Miley took her hand off his stomach and he brought his shirt back down
"Well you better get going mister before you have to add more time to your grounding, or else we will never get to go on a real date" Miley said smiling
"I'll see you tomorrow at school" Joe said "Am I picking you up?"
"Yes please" Miley said
"See you tomorrow morning, oh and by the way my mom didn't take away my other phone so you can text me" Joe said kissing Miley's cheek and giving her a hug
"Alright bye" Miley said as she watched him grab his bike and ride out of the driveway. Joe turned around one more time and winked at her before he got out of the light. Miley turned around and skipped back into the house.
"So you were out there a long time" Robbie Ray said to Miley
"Yeah…" Miley said smiling
"How was the air?" He asked
"Breathless" Miley said
"So I take it Joe was out there" Robbie Ray asked
"No" Miley said sitting down next to her father on the couch, putting her feet up on the table in front of her. She avoided eye contact with him because she knew she would spill the beans as soon as she looked at him.
"I wasn't born yesterday" Robbie Ray said
"Okay so he was out there" Miley said smiling a little bit, and quickly glanced at him
"And..." Robbie Ray asked trying to drag it out of her
"We are kind of um going out" Miley said fiddling with the end of the pillow on the couch
"Well that's good for you darling" Robbie Ray said
"So you're not mad?" Miley asked finally looking up at him
"Why would I be mad, I like that boy he's funny" Robbie Ray said
"Are you serious so you don't care if I go out with him?" Miley asked
"He is older then you though" Robbie Ray said
"Age doesn't matter dad" Miley said
"He's going to be graduating this year Miles" Robbie Ray said
"I can deal with it daddy" Miley said "I really like him"
"I guess I will have to deal with it won't I?" Robbie Ray asked
"Yep" Miley said nodding
"My little girl is growing up" Robbie Ray said opening his arms for Miley to sit on his lap
"Don't worry daddy, I will still be your little girl. Plus all I am doing is dating someone" Miley said going over and sitting his lap, hugging him
"Yeah, but your fifteen, almost sixteen your not supposed to be" He said
"You keep thinking that, I am going up and getting ready for bed" Miley said
"Or in girl terms, your going to go talk to Lilly" Robbie Ray said
"Pretty much" Miley said getting up "Night daddy love you"
"Love you too sweetie" Robbie Ray said watching as Miley walked up the stairs "My little girl is growing up"
::::::::::::::: Jonas' ::::::::::::::
Joe climbed up to his room and saw Nick sitting on his computer.
"Hey" Joe said as he climbed in his window
"Hey" Nick said turning around "Mom or dad didn't come in to check on you"
"Good" Joe said smiling
"So how did it go?" Nick asked
"Well I can now call her my girlfriend" Joe said smiling
"Good for you" Nick said smiling at his brothers, glad that everything worked out in his favor
"We are going to have to find you a girlfriend" Joe said
"I am getting over a summer crush, got to give me a few days" Nick said
"Well I am going to be looking" Joe said
"Well have fun with that" Nick said
Beep
Came a noise in the room
"What was that?" Nick asked
"My phone" Joe said grabbing it from his night stand
"I thought mom took it away" Nick said
"I pay for this one, so she doesn't know I have it" Joe said flipping it open so he could read the message
"Who's it from?" Nick asked
"Miley" Joe said reading the message to himself
I miss you already, can't wait to see you tomorrow 3
"Well I am going to go, see you tomorrow" Nick said going out of the room
"Night" Joe said not taking his eyes of the phone. Nick shut the door and left Joe texting.
Joe's fingers slid on his phone texting to Miley back and forth
Miss you too, so what are you doing?
I am talking to Lilly, what about you?
I am just sitting her thinking about you
Aw I am thinking about you too, what time are you picking me up tomorrow?
Regular time, 7:40
Alright that sounds good. Lilly says hi
Tell Lilly I said hi
So I was talking to my dad and he thinks that u r 2 old 4 me but he thinks ur good 4 me
Good cause I don't want ur dad to hate me
He doesn't, he thinks ur funny
Is that good???
Yeah he likes funny peps :)
Well that's good
The two had talked for about two more hours until they both agreed to talk to each other the next day.
The next morning Joe had woken up in a good mood and was currently all ready for school. He was currently downstairs and eating breakfast.
"What's wrong with you?" Frankie asked watching Joe smile as he chewed
"Nothing" Joe said shrugging
"Him and Miley must be talking to each other again" Kevin said
"Well he wasn't like that when he got home and since he's grounded he couldn't have talked to her" Denise said
"Can't I just be happy?" Joe asked
"I guess" Denise said watching her son
"Well I am going to go now" Joe said getting up from the table
"I need a ride" Nick said walking in the room and grabbing an apple from the middle of the table to eat real quick
"Get one from Kevin" Joe said
"Whatever" Nick said
"See you later" Joe said grabbing his money that his mother had put out for him
"Drive carefully" Denise said
"I will see you after school" Joe said kissing the top of his mother's head and grabbing his book bag and keys and headed out the door and to his car. He drove to Miley's house and got out of his car. He went up to her door and knocked twice. Robbie Ray opened it to reveal Miley and Jackson in the background fighting over a piece of bacon
"Welcome" Robbie Ray said sarcastically letting him in, Joe laughed and walked in.
"Give me the bacon" Miley yelled
"I had it first" Jackson said pulling it towards him
"I didn't have any" Miley said "You had like five pieces"
"I'm still hungry" Jackson yelled back as he tried to pry it from her hands
"You are such a jerk" Miley said trying to snatch it, and still unaware that Joe had arrived. Joe walked up to the two of them and grabbed the bacon out of their hands. They looked at their hands and up and over and saw Joe with the piece of bacon in his hand. Miley immediately smiled and hugged him.
"Oh great you two are together aren't you" Jackson asked with a disgusted look
Miley with her arms still around Joe looked at Jackson and smiled.
"Yep" She said Joe kissed her head and gave her the piece of bacon. "Thank you" She said and stuck her tongue out at Jackson
"You two are going to be gross" Jackson said shaking his head and walked up the stairs to get his books.
Miley let go of Joe and ate her piece of bacon.
"So how are you son?" Robbie Ray asked slapping a hand on Joe's shoulder
"Good" Joe said nervous since he didn't know what Miley had told him, and since he was now dating his younger daughter
"So you're dating my daughter?" Robbie Ray asked
"Daddy…" Miley whined and going over to Joe
"I am only asking" Robbie Ray asked
"I already told you daddy" Miley said through her teeth
"I know" Robbie Ray said gripping a hand on Joe's shoulder
"Then stop torturing him" Miley said
"Well we better get going" Joe said going towards the door
"See you daddy" Miley said kissing his cheek and grabbing her bag
"See you darling, bye Joe" Robbie Ray said
"Bye Mr. Stewart" Joe said
"Remember its Robbie Ray" Robbie Ray said which made Joe and Miley smile
"Bye daddy" Miley said waving good bye as they walked out the door.
"Well that was interesting" Miley said grabbing Joe's hand
"Just a little" Joe said laughing as they went over to the passenger side of his car.
"He will loosen up" Miley said while Joe was opening the door
"Hopefully" Joe nodded
"Don't worry he will" Miley said smiling at him and squeezed his hand. Joe opened the door for her and she got in. Joe went around to the other side of the car on got in, and started it.
Miley grabbed her Kelly Clarkson CD out of his case and put it in. She turned it too 'Never Again'. Miley looked over to Joe and watched him for a few minutes. Joe took his eyes off the road for a second and looked at Miley.
"What?" He asked as he put his eyes on the road again
"Nothing" Miley said shaking her head and looking out the window. Joe reached his hand over and grabbed it. Miley looked down and smiled at how weirdly things were so comfortable around them.
When they got to the school, they both got out of the car and walked to the front of the car. Miley slung her bag over her shoulder, along with Joe doing the same thing. They started to walk into the building. Joe put his arm around Miley's waist and brought her closer to him. The two could hear the girls whispering.
Miley and Joe didn't even think about all the jealous Jonas Brother's fans who had the biggest crushes on them.
"Oh well" Joe said to Miley
They walked to Miley's locker
"There they are" Lilly said going over to Joe and Miley
"Oh no" Miley said rolling her eyes and got her book out of her locker
"Hi Lilly" Joe said
"Hello" Lilly said smiling at them
"Hi Lilly" Miley said as she put her books in her bag
"I am so glad that you too made up" Lilly said smiling between the two of them
"Us too" Miley said
"What's up guys?" Kevin said coming up to them
"Nothing" Miley and Joe said together
"Look I saw you last night sneaking back into the house' Kevin said
"Please don't tell mom or dad" Joe begged not even denying that it was in fact him.
"Do I look stupid?" Kevin asked
"No" Joe said shaking his head
"Then don't worry about it" Kevin said
"You better not" Joe said
"Whatever sees you guys later" Kevin said walking away to his classroom.
"What time is it?" Miley asked but the bell beat everyone to it
"Crap I am going to be late, my class is upstairs" Joe said
"Okay, see you at lunch" Miley said hugging him
"Bye" He said hugging her back quickly kissing her cheek and running towards the stairs.
"So Nick how are you?" Miley asked
"Fine thanks, how are you?" Nick asked just wanting all the pressure and awkwardness to go away.
"Good" Miley said smiling as her, Lilly and Nick walked to their first period classes.
"I'm sorry" Nick blurted out
"Me too" Miley said stopping in the hallway "Hug?"
Nick laughed and gave her a friendly hug
"Now were all friends again! YAY" Lilly said and the too laughed and walked into homeroom/ first period.
When lunch arrived Miley quickly walked into the cafeteria with Lilly. She looked over and saw Joe in the sub line waiting. Miley walked over and stood next to him.
"Hey" She said kicking his butt
"What was that for?" He asked laughing
"I don't know, I felt like it" Miley said shrugging
"I was wondering, you know how my mom knows we have Wednesday's reserved, maybe she will let us do something?" Joe asked
"You mean like go on a date?" Miley smiled looking up at him
"Yeah" Joe said nodding "You know two people going out, sometimes it involves dinner and something fun afterwards."
"I get it" Miley said rolling her eyes "But yeah you should ask her"
"But I am just going to tell her that we still have our days, and it's not a date" Joe said
"Yeah so then that way she may let us go" Miley said nodding at his good plan
"I will ask her" Joe said
"Okay" Miley said turning so she was in front of Joe.
"What are you doing, I was here first" Joe said grabbing her shoulders and leaning her back
"Because your supposed to let me go first" Miley said as the walked forward
"Since when?" Joe laughed
"Since forever" Miley said looking up at him, his face so close to hers that she could feel his breath on her cheek
"Oh yeah?" Joe asked
"Yep" Miley said "It's now a rule"
"A rule?" Joe asked
"Yes, now that I am your girlfriend you have to let me get in line first, it's just the way it works" Miley smirked at him
"Whatever you say" Joe said shaking his head, and watched as Miley ordered her sub.
After their subs were ordered and paid for they walked back to their lunch table. Miley sat down next to Joe and Joe pulled his chair closer. Nick, Oliver and Lilly were already all sitting down.
"So is everything back to normal?" Oliver asked to them
"Yep everything is all good" Miley said
"Good, because I don't know how much I could have taken all the awkwardness" Oliver said taking a bite of his nachos.
"It's alright, we are all friends again" Nick said smiling over at Miley and Joe,
"Are you two together?" Oliver asked pointing to Miley and Joe who were sitting close and Joe had an arm slung around her chair.
"Yep we're together now" Joe said smiling over at Miley
"About time" Oliver said throwing his hands around making everyone laugh, finally everything was coming together.
:::::::::::::: Jonas' Later That Night ::::::::::::
"Hey mom can I talk to you?" Joe asked as he sat down next to his mom on the couch
"Sure honey what's wrong?" Denise asked
"You know how Miley and I have Wednesday's to ourselves?" Joe asked hoping that this would work
"Yes" Denise said folding yet another towel
"Well me and Miley have made up and were wondering if you know could bend the rules a little and let us have our day?" Joe said
"I'm sorry sweetie but you are grounded" Denise said not breaking
"Please mom, it's our tradition" Joe said
"You should have thought about that before you punched your brother" Denise said
"Please come on" Joe begged
"Why don't you tell me why you really want to go out tomorrow" Denise said setting down the half folded towel on the sofa
"What you mean, I am telling the truth" Joe said
"There's more to the reason why you want to go tomorrow" She said "Could it be you and Miley have a date?"
"Mom" Joe whined
"So you do?" Denise smiled
"Well yeah" Joe said looking away
"When did you ask her out?" Denise asked wanting to know more about this and when it happened
"Uh…I uh asked her out uh" Joe tried to say but couldn't come up with anything
"Last night" Denise said smiling at her son
"How did you know" Joe asked
"Me, Kevin and your father saw you sneaking back in" Denise said picking up the towel again
"Kevin never said you guys saw me" Joe said
"Well we did" Denise said "I am not really that oblivious"
"How much longer am I grounded for?" Joe sighed
"No longer then the original two weeks" Denise said
"Seriously?" Joe asked
"Yes, now you may not go on your date tomorrow, but I am lowering the both of yours groundings to a week" Denise said
"Thank you so much mom" Joe said hugging his mom
"I better not catch you punching your brother again" Denise said
"I promise" Joe said going towards the steps
"You got less then one week left, don't be sneaking out any more" Denise said "I promise you Joe you will be grounded for a whole lot longer if that behavior ever comes up again"
"It won't" Joe said going up the stairs and into his room. He grabbed his phone of the table and scrolled down and found Miley's number and pressed talk.
"Hello?" Miley asked
"Hey what's up?" Joe asked as he sat on his bed
"I am just working on some homework" Miley said as she put down her pencil and leaned back on her bed
"Oh, you want me to call you back?" Joe asked
"No, I need a break so did you talk to your mom?" Miley asked hopeful
"Well it's a no for tomorrow, but our groundings are lowered one week" Joe said
"Well at least she lowered it" Miley said happy that he was ungrounded a week earlier, but upset that it would be a couple more days until they could go out
"Yeah I was happy about that" Joe said
"By the way the contest thing for my music class is on Friday during my music class" Miley said
"I will be there" Joe said smiling
"Good cause if you weren't I would have to kick your butt" Miley said laughing
"You already do" Joe said also laughing
"Well that's true" Miley said and kept laughing
Their talk continued for a little while but Joe had gotten off because his parent's were going to bed and didn't want them to hear him talking. He was so glad that things were finally working out, and him and Miley were finally together. He was so happy that Nick had told him that he was getting over Miley, and hey maybe Joe could find someone for Nick.
I am so sorry that I haven't put this up sooner. I don't know how but I forgot about it, and this was one of my favorite stories I have ever written. But it's back and I will keep going through the chapters and re reading them. This one took a half hour to fix
Thanks for those who are still reading. Thanks. The next one will be up soon.
Much love. Wow almost a year since I've updated on this story.
