"What are you thinking about?" Josh asked. They were on the same cliff they had been on on their first date. It had turned out to be sort of their place. Miley was in between his legs, her back against his chest, playing with a stray string on her skirt.

"Hum? Oh. Nothing. It's just…nothing." She had lied. She was thinking about something. What had Jake meant before? We will be together; his words still rang in her ears. He was different…cold. What was he going to do? Miley was afraid; Jake did have some leverage on her.

"Are you sure? The whole day you've been acting kind of distracted. Is something on your mind?"

Miley sighed. "It's nothing really. Just Jake coming back; it took me by surprise, that's all."

"Sorry, but if you don't mind me asking, what happened between you two?"

"I don't really know, we ended on good terms though. I think we were just too different. So we decided to break up."

"Well…I'm glad you did," he said sheepishly. Miley laughed and kissed the bottom if his cheekbone.

"I am too. But-"

"But?"

"Yes, but. He's acting a little differently lately," she said, shifting in her position so she could face him.

"Different?"

"Yeah…kind of weird."

"What did he do?"

Miley shook her head, regretting what she had said. She felt it would be better if Josh didn't know about what Jake had said. "Nothing really," she said slowly, "just…different. Distant."

"What's his story anyway? And what is zombie high?"

"You don't know? Zombie high is a TV show, Jake starred in it, he's an actor. He's been in movies too, I can't believe you haven't heard of him, he's a celebrity."

"You dated a celebrity? Aw man, now I feel bad," he pouted.

"Don't feel bad, you know how stuck up celebrities can be," she said, shoving him playfully.

Josh shrugged and smiled at her. "No, actually, I don't. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting any celebrities, Miss Superstar."

Miley shrugged; she was feeling uneasy with the conversation topic and decided it was best to change the subject as soon as possible. She turned around to face him, her legs crossed. "You want to know what I've always wondered?"

"No, I do not. What might that be?"

"I've always wondered why hearts are associated with love. It's a bit strange."

"That's a good question." Josh thought for a moment. "Want to know what I think?" Miley nodded. "You need your heart to live, right? Well, if you give someone your heart, you're essentially giving them yourself."

"Confusing…but it makes sense. But what about your brain?"

Josh shrugged. "I dunno. I guess they just decided to make it the heart. If you prefer, I can give you my brain," he said simply. "And speaking of giving," he said and reached into his backpack, which lay beside him, and pulled something out. "Close your eyes and hold your hands out." Miley did so. She felt Josh place something light and papery in her hands. "Alright, you can open your eyes."

With excitement, Miley opened them, a big grin on her face. That grin immediately disappeared. In her hands were two Hannah Montana concert tickets. She didn't say anything. "I- you- how?" she finally said when she found her voice.

"Do you like them?"

Miley swallowed. No. She didn't like them, they could ruin everything. The thought of throwing them into the wind didn't seem too bad at the moment. But, of course, she couldn't. "Yes, of course I do."

"So do you want to go with me?"

"Um…" think of a lie, "You see…" Lie, bitch! Lie like you've never lied before! "Well, I don't like Hannah Montana….and I don't think my Dad will let me go." She cringed at the silence that came from Josh.

A brief look of disappointment crossed his face. "Oh. Alright then. That's ok, if your Dad won't let you, I can take someone else if you don't want to go," he mumbled.

"I'm sorry."

His frown was replaced with his usual comforting smile, "it's ok. I can take my sister, she'll love it."

"Thanks for understanding," she said, still feeling awfully guilty, yet deeply grateful at the same time.

Josh shrugged. "Maybe next time, aye?"

Miley nodded. "Maybe."

AN: I had to put this chapter in. Hehe. It's short, I know. The whole hearts vs brain conversation they had actually came from a conversation I had with myself this morning. I think it's a good point. What's with hearts?
