Miley swore she stopped breathing for a few seconds until she was finally able to look at Joe.
"What feelings?" she asked nervously.
"Come on Miley, you can't tell me you don't like me, I mean, explain your ring tone" he replied.
Miley thought for a bit before speaking "Joe, I just like that song"
"But why do you put it when I call?" he asked
"I don't know you're like the only boy that calls me" she said defending herself.
"Really, well fine I honestly can't stay here much longer Miley, I'm just gonna go" said Joe getting up and walking to the door.
Miley got up and followed him "Joe, what do you want me to tell you?"
Joe turned around and looked Miley straight in the eyes before speaking "I want you to admit that you like me."
"You want me to admit what isn't true?
"UGH, why are you being so stubborn Miley?" asked Joe frustrated.
"Because it doesn't matter if I like you or if I don't!" yelled Miley
"What are you talking about?" asked Joe
"Even if I do like you I can't be with you because you're completely in love with Liz and she's completely in love with you and I can't get in the way of that!" she yelled running back into the living room.
Joe sighed and followed her "So was that a confession?"
Miley screamed frustrated and fell back on the couch "YES JOE! OK I LIKE YOU, NO WAIT I DON'T LIKE YOU, I LOVE YOU! OK?! I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU!" she yelled now crying.
Joe sat down on the couch next to her and let her cry for a while.
When she calmed down she looked at Joe and said "You know, I'm not comfortable with you being here right now…"
"Miley, I'm sorry, I didn't really want that to happen" he said.
"Why'd you keep pressing it?" she asked
"Because, well…" Joe started not knowing how to tell her what he felt.
"What?" she asked.
"Miley, I love you" he said.
Miley stared at him shocked "You, what now?"
"I said I love you" he repeated.
"If you're gonna say like a sister I'd rather not hear it" she said
Joe laughed a little and got closer to her "No, I love you like my dad loves my mom"
"But Liz?" asked Miley confused.
"I thought I loved her, but I met you and felt something completely different then what I feel with her" he said.
"Joe… I, just wow" she said still in shock.
Joe laughed "Its ok, talking isn't necessary for this"
Miley stared at him confused before Joe put his lips to hers, and she immediately kissed him back.
They were both in heaven now, but they knew that what they were doing was wrong. Just then someone walked through the front door and walked into the living room to see them kissing.
"Miley?!"
Miley and Joe quickly sprung apart and looked at the person by the doorway.
"Dad…I uh we were just um" stuttered Miley looking at Joe for help.
"We were playing truth or dare" he spoke up.
"And who dared who to kiss each other?" he asked.
"Well um it's a new kind of truth or dare" said Miley grabbing a paper on the coffee table.
"What do you mean?"
"You see we put 30 different questions on this paper and when one of us picks dare we have to pick a number and do what the dare says" said Miley proud of the idea she had just thought up.
"That's cool can I do one?" asked Robbie Ray
"Uh sure?" said Miley confused.
"Ok, I pick number 14"
Miley looked down at the blank piece of paper and looked up to see her dad waiting expectantly and Joe laughing silently.
"Um run around the block 30 times" she said.
"Wow, can I pick another one?"
"You wanted to do it daddy, so you're doing it" said Miley.
"Fine, I'll be back" said Robbie Ray walking out the door.
As soon as he was gone Joe burst out laughing.
Miley glared at him and smacked him in the back of the head.
"That… was horrible" she stated.
"That was hilarious" said Joe cracking up,
"Well yeah kinda" said Miley also starting to laugh.
Soon they were both cracking up until Miley got serious again.
"Joe… you know you can't break up with Lizbeth right?"
"Why?" Joe asked clearly confused
"You just can't okay?"
"But, I love you Miley not her" said Joe.
"I love you too but I just can't do that to her" said Miley sadly.
"What about love, Miley? Doesn't that have a lot to do with all of this" he asked
"Joe, just please?" she begged.
"Fine" he sighed "I gotta go though"
"You going to the baseball game on Sunday?" she asked
"Yeah, and Liz will be there too" he said
"Okay, but remember nothing happened" she reminded him.
"I know, I know but I really gotta go, I love you bye" he said running out the door.
"Love you too" she called feeling guilty about everything that went on.
She saw her dad run by yelling "10 more to go!"
Miley laughed a little and went inside.
: Sunday at the baseball game:
Miley, Lizbeth, and Joe were watching the baseball team practice.
"This sucks, we came for nothing" said Lizbeth.
"It's not our fault the other team didn't have enough players" said Joe.
"Yeah, we know but why won't you practice with the team?" asked Miley
"I'd rather be here" he said smiling.
Miley smiled at him and turned back to the practice.
Lizbeth suddenly turned to Miley and said "Oh my gosh Miley look at this!"
Miley looked at what Lizbeth was pointing out. She was talking about the ring on her finger.
"Woah it's nice! Who gave it to you?" she asked completely clueless.
"It's a promise ring from Joe!" she squealed.
Miley stunned by her words slowly looked up at Joe who looked like he would kill himself at any moment.
