JOE'S POV.

This blond guy who looked restless was asking for Demi; he looked familiar. Demi buried her face into my chest and started crying and yelling at the guy.

"GO AWAY! YOU GOT WHAT YOU WANT!" she cried.

"excuse me, who are you?" I asked, a bit confused.

He looked at me, "I'm Sterling Cooper , and you?" the and you he said defensively.

"Joe, Joe Grey. Also known as one of Demi's best guy friends." I replied.

"Dems, it wasn't a lie." He said, walking closer.

It suddenly dawned on me, "You're the fucker who lied to my Dems?" I clenched my fists; ready to pouch on him.

"I didn't lie! I've been in love with her since we met for casting calls!"

Before he could finish his rehearsed speech; I punched him in the face. "Asshole."

MILEYS POV.

"End of story?" Nick asked, confused.

" I could tell by your eyes, I guess, they just showed that you cared, and it made me want to marry you." I replied, blushing.

By the end of my sentence, Nick was grinning ear to ear. He leaned over an gave me a soft kiss on the lips. "You're really something special, Mi."

"I do what I can." I replied; giggling.

Four masked men walked down in front of us, and my eyes soon flashed with worry. I hugged Nick tightly, afraid to let go. They wouldn't get him. I wouldn't let them.

"Hello, Miley." A strangely familiar voice said.

"Uh, I know your voice."

"You know us all." The masked man on the right said.

"Well, will you tell me who you are?" I asked, frighten and curious.

"Okay." The middle masked man said, taking off his mask.

"I already know of you, Jesse, and my father." I said; and my father took off his mask.

"I will next." The masked man on the right said, taking off his mask, revealing his identity.

I swallowed hard, and Nick's eyes widened. "T-trace?" Nick asked, confused.

I started bawling my eyes out at the sight of my brother, who was supposedly dead. "But, You're dead." I cried. "How?"

"Wait, now." Trace said. "There's one more person here."

The last masked man revealed his identity; and that was the final straw for Nick and I.

TAYLORS POV.

I looked out the window; beautiful North Carolina. It's almost been a year since I've been here. I wondered what Joe was thinking. And what he would think of me if he knew the truth about Camilla and my original purpose was to get even, not to end up with him. I-I- I'm a horrible person. I think it's time that I do something right. I just felt crappy. My dad was dead, my mom was dead, my cousin was missing and the guy I might be falling for is going to hate me if when he finds out the truth.

DEMIS POV.

I saw Sterling back away with a bloody nose. "WHAT THE FUCK?!" he screeched.

"You're a sick person sterling." I started, wiping away a few tears. "Lying to a girl is one thing, but lying to her so she'll sleep with you; that's another."

"Demi, what more do you want me to do? Tattoo I love Demi to my forehead?" he asked, annoyed.

"Maybe—Maybe you shouldn't of lied to me!" I cried, stubbornly.

"Why won't you see I'm madly in love with you?" he repeated.

I saw Joe look down at his watch, "Dems, we have to go; Taylor will be here soon."

"Leave me alone, Sterling." I said, before getting into the car. And I think that's when I saw his heart shatter into a million little pieces.

"DEMI WAIT!" he called, after me.

I rolled down the window, "What" "Do" "You" "Want" I said, in monotone.

"Demetria Devonne Lovato, I am completely in love with you. I would never, ever, lie to you. Don't you see that?"

Instead of replying, I simply said. "You're an actor, it's your job to lie." And Joe drove away.

MILEYS POV.
a/n; I'm holding back Nick's because he's going to blow up in the next one. ;p

The unmasked man stared at us. I couldn't believe my eyes, not one person I thought cared about me, but four of them, standing there.

"Trace, why?" I asked, softly, with tears falling out of my eyes.

"As if you don't know." He replied, harshly.

"I don't, why is it?" I cried out.

"You're the monster, the reason my mother's dead! You made my father have to go through 5 years in jail for being a help to Jesse. You deserve to die." He said harshly. "We faked my death, and it was a closed casket at my funeral, so no-one would know."

I held onto Nick tight, my eyes burning from all of the tears that have fell, his shirt must be soaking wet. I looked over at the last coward that stood before me. "And you?"
