CHAPTER TEN

You Big Cheese Ball.

It was the last night we were all going to spend together out in the wild. I had to admit, I was a little sad that by this time tomorrow we would all be back to our regular lives, and daily routines. Even though I desperately missed performing as Hannah, and attending the events, I didn't want to leave this place.

I wasn't sure if anyone wanted to leave.

Just then I heard my dad's cell phone go off, and as soon as he looked down at the caller id, I knew who it was.

"No son, you can not have a house party," My dad rubbed his temples as he held the phone to his ear. It was Jackson calling, wanting to throw a party. I was actually surprised that he has survived the five days without me and dad.

Last time we left him alone, he kind of almost burnt the house down. Literally.

"We have gone over this numerous times," He rolled his eyes and sat down on the log in front of the fire. "Absolutely not! No pudding pool in the house Jackson!" He shouted in frustration, walking off over to the tent to continue the conversation with Jackson in private.

"When will that boy ever learn?" I shook my head, and bit into the hamburger that was sitting on the plate in my lap. This day seemed to have gone by extremely fast, and it was hard to believe that tomorrow was going to be our last day out here in the woods. It was nice, and I'm glad that nothing too dramatic happened out here.

Lilly and Nick had gotten together sometime that day, and I couldn't have been happier for the two. For most people, when their best friends started dating their ex-boyfriends it got a little weird. But not for us, I was totally cool with it. Lilly was happy and walking around with hearts in her eyes. Nick was always smiling and that extra bounce in his step was cute.

Rubbing my bare legs with my free hand to keep them warm, I placed my feet up on the edge of the fire pit and felt the hot air instantly warm my feet and shins.

"Your shoes will melt to the pit if you do that," I looked over my shoulder and saw Joe standing there, a smile on his face.

"Oh really?"

He nodded and came around, sitting on the log next to me, pulling my legs off the edge and draping them over his lap.

"Oh Joe, what would I ever do without you?" I asked my hand finding its way to my forehead in a dramatic form.

"Wreck your hundred dollar shoes, duh," He joked, resting his forearms on my legs.

"Well thank you oh so much for saving my shoes. How will I ever repay you?" I asked, a large grin appearing as I flipped my brown hair over my shoulder, keeping my eyes on him.

His smile suddenly turned into a sly grin as he tapped his chin. "Ah Joe, what are you thinking?" I laughed, not the least bit worried.

He looked around, and once he noticed that no one else was around Joe leaned closer to me, dropping my legs off his lap. I instantly felt my heartbeat speed up, and my palms starting to sweat.

Our eyes stayed interlocked as he moved closer to me. Leaning his forehead against mine, Joe flashed me a toothy grin that made my heart melt. At that very moment I knew I had done the right thing, calling everything off with Oliver was probably the best move I could have ever made. I liked Joe so much, he made my heart skip a beat, he caused my breath to get caught in my throat – you know, all that love junk and stuff.

Pulling away, Joe got off the log and down onto the ground on one knee. "Miley, I have wanted to ask you for so long, but never found the right time. Will you go on a date with me?" He asked with a cheesy smile.

Gosh, Joe was such a cheese ball, but I loved it.

I smiled and bit my bottom lip. "Get up here," I laughed, and pulled on his hand that was extended. Standing up, I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer to me. Feeling the heat his body was giving off I smiled to myself.

Standing up on my toes I leant forward and placed my lips on his. Smiling into the kiss I couldn't help but feel the butterflies in my stomach start up, and start to flutter around. It was probably the best feeling I've ever had – jeeze, why was I all of a sudden so love struck and mushy?

I pulled away, my eyes still closed and the smile still on my face. Quickly giving him another peck on the lips, I dropped down to my original height and wrapped my arm around his waist, leaning my head against his shoulder. "Thanks Joe," I said, looking up at him.

"For what?"

"For coming camping, for just kissing me, for…" I was interrupted by Joe placing his hand over my mouth.

"Miley, enough with the flattery. I don't want to get a big head or anything," He flashed me a cocky smile and pulled me closer as we sat down on the log once again.

I stopped, rolling my eyes playfully.

"Joe, stop talking and kiss me."

And he did.

A/N: I apologize for the totally sucky ending, but the truth was I just got really bored with the story. I think the main reason for this is because I wrote the first chapter to the next story I will be posting called My Celebrity Crush. Make sure you all check it out! Anyways, I am actually relieved this story is finished; it was giving me serious writers block haha. So tell me what you think of it in your reviews! I don't think there will be a sequel though, I don't have any ideas. But who knows, maybe in the future. On another note, thank you so much for all the reviews through-out the story you don't know how happy they make me! I want to thank all my loyal readers who reviewed every chapter, or close to it. Thank you so much this story wouldn't have continued if not for you guys! Please don't forget to review my final chapter of this story; I want to know what you thought of the whole story all together, not just the chapter. So don't be shy, review! But I should cut this off, it's getting a little long. Thank you once again, and don't forget to check out my new story! Peace & Love.
