PROMISE. Alright well you guys are amazing and i love you, wanna let me know what you are thinking?? :)

"I vote for the second option, I have some pretty interesting history in that area. And I'm not going to watch them fall apart again." Joe spoke as he stood up crossed the apartment and pulled me up from the ground. As I stood up he placed his arm around my body and then motioned for Nick to follow him towards the family room. "Now Miles, tell us, what's wrong?"

I shook my head furiously back and forth, as I reached my right hand up and laced my fingers through Joes. The feeling of holding his hand always comforted me in ways Nick's couldn't. My mind started to turn in fascination at the way two brothers could be so similar and so different. How each could pull at my heart in different ways. As I spoke short soft words my voice hoarse from the fights previous in the day, I watched the faces around me. The family I had made over the years. "No, it's not appropriate to talk about like this. It's private." The faces fell around me, upset that I would say something was private in such a small setting. In a place where secrets were kept between the six of us, not two.

"Miley…" Nick spoke pleading words, while his eyes connected with Selena.

"No, Miley it's us" Joe started speaking

"We don't have secrets you know that." Demi finished his sentence.

I snorted at the statement; please no one has secrets around here? "That's a lie." I spoke with my eyes trained on my legs curled up against me on the plush couch. Softly I rubbed my stomach as a pitter patter from deep inside moved up and down. "You all know that as much as we are open we hide the same amount." I knew this was going to cause uproar; I kept my eyes trained in the same spot.

"Miley what are you talking about?" Joe questioned a hint of worry in his voice.

"Joseph you have no room to talk in this subject. I am the holder of your secrets. But I guess since there are no secrets I shouldn't have a problem talking about you and Taylor, should I

?" I could hear the bitterness in my voice and see the pain I was causing. But I couldn't stop Nick had upset me so much that afternoon that I couldn't stop.

"What's the big deal, we all know Joe and Taylor dated. That was ages ago." Selena's casual tone was overtaken, when Joe shouted over her.

"Miley!" His word was loud, short and evil. He grabbed my arm and squeezed it tightly as a warning.

"Please, dating was just the start of what those two went through." I glanced around the room. Wishing I could stop that somehow I could take the words back.

"ALRIGHT you know what Miley, STOP IT. Everyone this is a personal disagreement between a married couple. So butt the fuck out of our problem." Nick shot up from his place on the floor, across from me and sat on the arm of the couch. He hand quickly intertwined in mine as his hot breath landed on my stomach whispering comforting words to our baby. Words that were lies, promises he will never keep. Watching him be so caring and loving killed inside he was mine. I love him with more than I can ever give. Suddenly the words "I will never leave you." Float to my ears from Nick's mouth.

As he placed another kiss along my stomach. I looked at Joe in the eyes then I quickly made eye contact with ever other person in the room before I looked at Nick. I unlaced my hand from Joe's and brushed it along Nick's smooth freshly shaven face, as my thumb found a patch of missed stubble. I leaned in and placed a hot kiss on his lips. One that I let linger longer than intended and wished to deepen. My hand moved north to his hair and I tugged lovingly on his dark soft curls and I moved my mouth to his ear. "I love you more than life, but that last sentence is a lie." With that I stood up slowly, and did my best to walk and not waddle into my bedroom.

"Dude what is she talking about with you and Taylor?" I spoke half my body standing while my eyes shifted from Joe to the hallway where Miley had walked towards.

Joe simply pointed where Miley walked.

Walking over I approached a closed bedroom door, quietly I tried to turn the knob to find it locked. Swiftly I walked back into the family room. "It's locked."

"Taylor and I are nothing to worry about." He brushed the question off as nothing while he stared towards the bedroom door, "And why do we care about me? What the fuck did you do wrong this time?" Joe locked eyes with me; it wasn't just him I could feel every other eye in the room burning into my skin.

"Dude, I'm not, we aren't, I can't talk about it yet." I stuttered over my words, usually they fell gracefully from my lips but now they fell like bricks, slowly, heavily and painfully as if they were landing on my foot.

The silence in the room grew louder and louder, the faint sound of texting filled my ears. I looked around and saw Demi, Selena and Kev all intently staring at their phones, as Joe's phone continually vibrated next to me on the couch. He just stared at the hall leading to the bedroom, obviously worried about his best friend. I stood up and as I passed Joe taped his shoulder. "Joe, I know you are worried, trust me I worry about her every minute of every day. The amount of energy I spend worry about her is equal to how much I love her. But this is supposed to be Friday." I then raised my voice and addressed the texting trio. "Alright, we all need some beers if you ask me, this is the most stressful and depressing Friday we have ever had." I let out a hallow laugh.

Flashback:

I throw my hair back with my arms stretched over my head and fall into the plush green grass. My legs still cross legged in my deep dark washed jeans facing nick as I lay on the ground. So happy to be free from people, just Nick and I in the middle of Alabama on a green field with nothing but nature for miles and miles, without sitting up I speak "This was the best idea we have had in months. Taking the weekend off to fly out here and be alone."

Nick moves so that he is laying next to me in the grass our bodies inches from touching, his left arm stretches upwards to lace his fingers through mine while his right arm rests peacefully against his body. "That is because for the past two months we have been hiding from everyone we know, on top of the paparazzi. Finally we can just be." He breaths the words out in the graceful way only he can pull off.

"Nicholas I love how I feel when I'm around you. I feel the most myself." I sigh; my insides are spinning in happiness. The feeling that after years of on and off dating, love and hate still hasn't gone away, I feel a smile pull at my lips as I think about it all.

"The same goes for me, you know I love you right Miles? Like love you more than words could ever express." He turns his head in an attempt to make eye contact with me, as he squeezes my hand to an extreme extent.

A giggle escapes my lips at this phrase, as gracefully as I can, which I quickly realize is not gracefully at all I roll on top of him. As I stretch my left arm out to meet his right and adjust my legs so they wrap around his I press my lips against his for a second. As I break the heat of contact I whisper, "Yes Nicholas I know that. I've known that for almost ten years now. And you know what? I think I kinda might feel the same." Sarcasm escapes my lips at the end of my sentence as I slowly lean in to kiss his neck. Sliding slowly south ward as I unbutton his shirt and leave hot trails of kisses on this chest. If this wasn't heaven then I'm not sure what is.
