Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad

"I can't lie, I can't tell you that I'm something I'm not, No matter how I try, I'll never be able, To give you something, Something that I just haven't got.
There's only one girl that I will ever love, And that was so many years ago, And though I know I'll never get her out of my heart, She never loved me back, I remember how she left me on a stormy night, She kissed me and got out of our bed, And though I pleaded and I begged her not to walk out that door, She packed her bags and turned right away.

Baby we can talk all night, But that ain't getting us nowhere." – Meat Loaf

"From the look on your face, I guess its date night with Demi?" Joe asked while throwing himself down on the bed. Liam shrugged not taking his eyes of the reflection of himself in the mirror. "Why the look young Liam?" Joe asked while pointing at him. Liam let out a heavy sigh as he turned around and faced Joe, "I'm not in the mood for this right now Joe", Liam said as he sat down on the edge of his bed tying his shoes. Joe placed his hands behind his head and laid his head back as he continued, "Let me guess. You are mobbing because she still isn't giving it up, huh?" Joe asked with a smirk on his face. "Shut up", Joe quickly replied as he got off the bed, "And no, that ain't it", he continued as he grabbed his jacket. Joe got of the bed, "Than what is it? You've been like this these last couple of days, and it's starting to bore me. You're acting like some heartbroken-public school-emo-ass-teenager", Joe said annoyed as he walked towards Liam. Liam looked down and shook his head, "I don't know, but I hope after tonight I'll be my regular self", he answered as he looked up at Joe. "Well good than, cuz this here (pointing at Liam's face) is pathetic. You are Liam Hemsworth, you don't mob around, got it?" Joe asked as he opened the door. Liam let out a soft chuckle, "Yeah, I got it."

Joe would never understand what he was going through; he had never been in love. And he had no intentions of making a fool out of himself thinking that Joe was the slightest interested in listening to him pour his heart out about, how he was in love with his girlfriends best friend. And that no matter what he did, he couldn't get her out of his mind. A day hadn't passed while she was away at boarding school that he hadn't thought about her. He tried to call her when he found out that she had left town, but her number had been disconnected. Couple of days later he had come up with an lame excuse why Demi had to give him her new number, but even though she gave it to him, he never called her. It wasn't that he didn't want to, 'cuz heaven knows that he was dying to hear her voice, but there was this little voice in the back of his head holding him back. The voice that kept telling him, she left town and didn't even tell you. She changed her number and didn't even tell you. Get it she wants nothing to do with you. Liam let out a heavy sigh as he walked closer to Demi's apartment building. He stopped in his steps, and looked up at the sky, before slowly pulling out his phone. Hesitantly he dialed a number, Hi you've reached Miley, I'm not by the phone right now, but if you leave a message I'll be sure to call you back, bye. Liam couldn't help but to smile hearing her voice, she sounded so carefree and full of life, "Hey Mi, it's me Liam. I know you said that you didn't wanna talk, but I really need you to call me back, it's important. Bye", Liam hung up, taking in a deep breath. Why couldn't life just be easy for once, he thought to himself.

"Demi, where are you?" Liam shouted as he entered the foyer of her 5th avenue apartment. He looked around with his hand firmly shoved in his pockets. Demi's place had always been like his second home. They had been together for so long, that he didn't even remember a time where they weren't together. Everyone was convinced that one day they would get married, even their parents. Lately his mother was starting to drop hints about him proposing to Demi, but his mind couldn't be further away from that scenario. It wasn't because he didn't love her, he really did, but it was like something was missing. There was no passion, excitement or the slightest feel of butterflies when he was with her. And when he really thought about it, he wasn't sure if these feelings ever had been between him and Demi. Yes, he did love her, but it was more like friend than lover. It probably didn't help that every time he was alone with her, he dreamed about being alone with her best friend. No one made him feel like how Miley made him feel. Just the thought of her made him smile. He knew how bad of a person he was for sleeping with Miley behind Demi's back, and there wasn't a day he didn't punch himself for doing that to her, because she didn't deserve that, but he was in love with Miley. That morning he woke up after their night together and she was nowhere to be found, it broke his heart. Because not only was the girl he loved gone, but that night had been his first time. People assumed that he and Demi were sleeping together, but they weren't. Still to this day, the furthest they had gone was kissing and some touching, but that was it. How could he sleep with her when his heart was yearning for someone else, and Demi definitely didn't deserve that either.

"Liam, you are here! Why didn't you say anything?" Demi asked excited as she walked down the stairs towards Liam. "I called out your name, but you didn't answer" Liam replied in a low voice while looking down at his feet. "Ohh" Demi said as she placed a soft kiss on his cheek. "I just had the worst day ever," Demi said as she sat down on the couch. "You did?" Liam asked as he sat down beside her, but avoiding to look at her. He felt guilty every time he would look at her. "Ugh…" Demi exclaimed as she pulled her feet up onto the couch as she faced Liam, "First, I broke the heel on my new Manolo Blahniks, then Debby forgot to bring me my English paper which was due today, but luckily I managed to convince Mr. Roberts that I could hand it in tomorrow, and to top it all off, Miley was acting all weird" she said as she rolled her eyes, Liam quickly look over at her when she mentioned Miley, "What kind a weird?" he quickly asked. Demi shrug, "You know. Like nothing has changed and that things are like they were one year ago. If she thinks she can just come back and think she can be the queen-bee and all, she's wrong." Demi said as she looked annoyed. "Well to be honest, I don't think Miley cares for that stuff", Liam said as he looked back down. Demi crossed her arms, "Why are sticking up for her?" she said as she looked annoyed at Liam. "I'm not, I'm just saying, that I think she doesn't care for all that, and that you can have it all if you wanna", he replied quickly. "So what? Like she's giving it to me 'cuz she pities me or something. Like she can just have whatever she wants if she decides she wants it?" Demi asked getting upset. Liam threw his hands in the air, "Let's just drop it Demi, okay? What do I even know", he said as he looked away.

Demi looked at Liam for a while before saying anything. She could sense that something was going on with him. "I'm sorry babe", she said as she wrapped her arms around his neck, "Let's not fight, and definitely not about something as stupid as Miley, okay?" She asked as she gave him a soft smile. Liam shrugged, "Yeah okay", he said as he placed a gentle kiss on the top of her head. Demi suddenly moved a little closer towards Liam, "I've missed you all day", she said in a seductive voice as she planted a deep kiss on Liam's lips. Liam hesitantly wrapped his arms around her waist, kissing her back. He tried to ignore the guilt that run through him with every kiss and touch. After a couple of minutes of making out, the kissing had gotten more intense, as Demi was lying on top of Liam, "What do you say we take this upstairs? My mom isn't home", Demi asked in between kisses. Liam suddenly pulled away feeling awful, "Maybe another time, I think I have to get going" he said as he got up from the couch. Demi looked hurt, she had just gotten rejected, "Seriously Liam, I'm offering you to have sex with me, and you have to go home? Since when do you have to be home at 10 pm?" She asked looking mad. "I'm sorry Demi, but I.." he said, but trailed off. He didn't know how to explain to her why he didn't wanna have sex with her. Demi got off the couch and stepped in front of Liam, "What's wrong with you?" she almost yelled, as she could feel the tears fill up her eyes, but continued, "I just feel like for the last year we've been drifting apart, and I thought that if we would sleep together, it would bring us closer" she said, as she tried to push away her tears. Liam looked slowly at Demi, hesitated, "Sleeping together doesn't always bring people closer together, trust me", he said as he looked back away. He couldn't take looking at Demi, his heart was breaking, because he knew it was his entire fault that she was crying, and that they in fact where drifting apart. Demi looked confused at Liam, "And how do you know that?" she asked almost with a pinch of fear in her voice, Liam quickly at Demi, than looked back away as he turned his back to her. How was he supposed to answer that, he asked himself. The only think he knew at this point was that he couldn't keep this up. It wasn't fair to neither of them. He didn't want to pretend anymore and she deserved some who truly loved her and wanted to be with her.

Suddenly Liam turned slowly around, "I need to tell you something", he said as he looked down. This was gonna be harder than he ever had imagined. Demi looked scared at Liam, "What?" she replied. Liam shifted a little on his feet trying to find the right words, "Well last year at the Thomson's wedding reception, when me and Miley got kicked out, I didn't just go straight home", he said in a low voice, still looking at his feet. He continued, "I was with Miley. We went upstairs to Joe's penthouse", he said as he finally looked up at Demi. Demi could feel the tears slowly starting to stroll down her cheeks, "What are you saying Liam" she asked as she tightly wrapped her arms around herself. Liam took a step closer to her, "I'm so sorry Demi. I never meant to hurt you. We didn't plan on any of it to happen, it just did", he said as he could feel his eyes getting teary. Demi hesitated for a bit before she covered her mouth with her hands, "Oh my god", she said as she shook her head in disbelief. Now she was fully crying, "Please don't tell me that you slept with my best friend?" she asked as she kept shaking her head. Liam walked quickly towards Demi, gently cupping her face, "I'm so, so sorry", he said as he tried to look into her eyes. "I-I just can't stand thinking about how I've hurt you", he continued as he looked into her eyes. Demi then quickly pushed Liam away, "But you had no problem keeping it a secret for a fucking year", she shook her head, "you slept with my best friend Liam", she continued as she tried to stop the tears, "I can't stand to look at you right now. I want you to leave", she said harshly as she crossed her arms. "But Demi.." Liam said but got interrupted, "Get the fuck out Liam", she screamed as she pointed towards the elevator. Liam nodded, "Alright", as he grabbed his jacket and walked towards the the elevator, he turned around, "I am really sorry about this Demi. I never meant to hurt you", he said as he entered the elevator.

Liam leaned his head up against the wall, covering his eyes with his hands. What had he just done, he asked himself. He hated that he had hurt Demi like that, but she deserved to know. But even though his heart was breaking for Demi, he couldn't help but to feel a bit relieved. It was like he finally could breath, and maybe for the first time follow his heart, which was Miley. He wanted to be with her. He needed her in his life, and maybe now they could finally be together. Liam quickly grabbed his cell phone out of his pocket, Hi you've reached Miley, I'm not by the phone right now, but if you leave a message I'll be sure to call you back, bye., "Hey Miley, it's me again. I-I guess I just wanted to hear your voice; (he trailed off a bit). I really miss you and please call me back, no matter what time, I'll stay up waiting for your call, 'cuz I really need to talk to you. Aight, well bye", he said as he hung up.
