"Call now!" Joe seethed. He and Kevin were currently standing at the entrance of the bar. Although the boys were determined to stay 'til the end, Joe just couldn't even make it past the half-hour mark.

"Alright alright! Geez would you relax?" Kevin sighed, whipping out his phone as he dialed Demi's number. The line clicked after just 3 rings.

"Hey Kevin! What's up?" came Demi's cheerful voice from the other end.

"Where are you girls? We couldn't find you anywhere!" Kevin asked, grabbing onto Joe's arm to prevent him from doing anything stupid.

"Oh yeah, we're back at the bus! It got really really crowded and Lilly wanted to breathe so…" Demi said apologetically. "My bad, I forgot to tell you."

"No, it's fine, we're going back." Kevin informed before turning to Joe with a pointed look that clearly said 'I told you so!'

"Miley. Is she with them? Is Miley with them?" Joe asked again as Kevin let out an exasperated sigh.

"Yes! Why wouldn't she? You heard them." The eldest groaned. "Let's just go, Nick already went."

"Whatever." Joe grumbled, stuffing his hands in his pocket as his fidgetiness subsided.

"Hey!" Demi waved, leaning on the bus door to greet the two oldest JONAS.

"Hey." The boys mumbled, both giving her a one armed hug before entering.

"Lilly." Kevin nodded towards the blonde who had her eyes fixated on the TV.

"Kevin."

"Crazy."

"Single." Lilly shot back with a smirk with a hidden meaning as Joe gave her a weird look. Shaking off the weird feeling in his stomach, Joe finally asked the question he had been meaning to ask all night long.

"Where's Miley?"

"Bedroom." Lilly said, her smirk getting wider by the second as Joe gave her another look.

"Okay Crazy, whatever you're smokin', you've gotta stop." Joe said in mock sincerity with that fake contrite voice of his.

"Whatever you say~" Lilly hummed, turning back to the TV as Joe placed a hand on the knob to Miley's door. Before he opened it, he looked over his shoulder.

"Do you know something I don't?" He asked.

"Maybe, maybe not." Lilly shrugged and Joe's eyes narrowed.

"Is something wrong with Miley?"

Again, Lilly shrugged.

Fully aware that the blonde who disapproved of him wouldn't answer, Joe sighed and proceeded to open the door only to find that the handle wouldn't budge. He pulled at it again and again and again-

"Joe! You're gonna break it!" Demi interrupted. "I know you're a bagillionnaire, but no need to spend that money."

Joe ignored her and pulled a few more times.

"But it's locked!" He yelled back at his dark-haired friend, who was currently drinking coffee with Kevin. "Why?"

"Why not?" came the voice of his older brother. "Don't girls like, always lock their doors or something?"

Joe was worried now. Miley would never lock him out, she wouldn't have a reason to…right?

"Mi! Miley!" The middle JONAS yelled, banging on the door. "You okay babe? Open the door! MILEY!"

"Relax, she probably locked the door when she was changing and forgot about it when she fell asleep." Kevin deduced, gently prying a shaking Joe from the door. "By the way, where's Nick? Haven't seen him."

"'Course you haven't." Lilly grinned up at Joe brightly, who took a step back unknowingly.

"Nick's back? I haven't seen him either. I thought he came after us?" Demi asked, leaning against the doorframe with her coffee.

"Call him or something." Kevin suggested and Lilly's smirk just kept getting wider. "It's not like Nick to go off wandering."

"Right." Demi quickly called Nick and his ringtone was easily heard reverberating throughout the bus. "Where is it coming from?"

Suddenly, everyone turned to Joe, who, facing Miley's room, wore a completely destroyed expression upon his features as his eyes widened in shock.

He choked. And then, a bitter laugh.

"Haha funny. Alright, joke's over Nicolas; get out of Miley's room." Joe whispered shakily as Kevin and Demi looked at him with unmasked worry. "GET THE FUCK OUT OF THERE!" He howled as his fists bang until the door vibrated, his forehead resting on it. "W-why?"

"Maybe she's tired of you." Lilly shrugged, picking up the remote nonchalantly. She suddenly jumped when the remote flew from her hand and hit the TV with a bang, shutting it off.

"H-How could you do this to me?" Joe stammered with cracking voice, his eyes filled with tears that refused to fall. "How could you?"

"How could you?" The same voice echoed in Lilly's mind as she tossed and turned in her sleep. A pair of brow eyes stared at her accusingly in the back of her mind. She just couldn't forget them, the pain, the destruction, the hurting inside them…and she was the one who caused it.

"Hey…Hey!" with a hard shake at the shoulders, Lilly slowly opened her tired eyes, sweat rolling down her face.

"O-Ollie?" She whispered as Oliver hugged her tightly.

"What's wrong Lillypop?" He murmured, rubbing her arm soothingly as the blonde buried herself in his chest.

"I-I think I did something bad…t-terrible…" Lilly shivered, holding Oliver tighter as her boyfriend sighed in evident distress.

"No, please tell me you didn't do something to jeopardize Miley and Joe." Oliver groaned, rocking the girl softly. "No, Lilly."

"H-How did you-"

"How can you not know? He really loves her, you know that." Oliver breathed deeply again, trying his best not to yell at his girl for practically destroying his best friend's heart. "Yes, he's overprotective and sometimes annoying, and he's made huge, unforgiveable mistakes, but he's cool and reliable when it comes to Miles. He even asked if he could leave Miles with me during the party."

"But he's so obsessed that it's not healthy!" Lilly argued, wiping desperately at the tears that won't stop falling. Honestly, she didn't even know why she was crying, but something definitely bit at her conscience.

"You know why he's obsessed? Because Miley forgave his unforgivable mistake, and he thinks he's not good enough for her." Oliver sighed. "It makes sense for a dense guy like me at least. Think about it Lils."

Despite Oliver's request, Lilly thought no more of the subject as her boyfriend rocked her to sleep. But as she snuggled comfortably into Oliver's warm embrace, she thought to herself:

Does Miley feel this comfort when she's held by Joe?

"Try and get some sleep alright? It's almost 3am. They have to come out eventually."

"Yeah." was all Joe can manage before Kevin sighed, getting up from the spot next to Joe, which is right in front of Miley's door, and headed to bed.

"Hey…" greeted another soft voice as Joe raised his eye as acknowledgement. Demi wrapped a blanket around him and filled the spot Kevin had been occupying for the past 2 hours.

"Kev said to give you this." The brunette whispered, pulling the blanket tighter around Joe as she rested her head on his shoulder. "It's gonna be okay, I promise."

"Is this what it feels like to have your heart broken?" Joe choked out monotonously, muffling into his knees. Demi rubbed his shoulder soothingly.

"I don't know." She whispered. "I didn't fall for you as hard as you her…"

Joe scoffed bitterly at her response. "Good, I'm a huge bastard anyways."

"Hey, stop talking like that. You're not at fault this time." Demi reassured, rearranging his hair that fell into his eyes.

"Then why?" Joe asked sincerely.

"I wish I knew…" A long silence followed before Joe was able to speak again.

"I really thought she was the one." Joe whispered with that faraway voice that Demi almost found absurd.

"You won't find 'the one' at this age." She shot back absentmindedly before Joe gave her a look that made her soften. "You really think she's the one?" Demi murmured at the curled up boy.

"Yeah…" Joe whispered in a tone so sincere that any mind can be completely changed. In turn, Demi stood up abruptly. "Where're you going?"

"I'm going to help you fix this." Demi replied before heading for Kevin's bunk. "Oh and, before you yell at her, listen to what she has to say. Let her explain."

Too tired to be confused by Demi's words, Joe agreed.

Lilly woke up with the swerving of the bus as the sun barely peaked through the tall buildings of Manhattan. "Where are we going?"

"We? You are going to fix what you've done." Oliver flashed a cheeky grin, waving Lilly's phone in his hand. "I told Nick we're heading over. Hope you don't mind, he's the first Jonas in your contact."

Lilly groaned.

Knock knock

"coming…"

Knock knock

"Coming…"

Knock knock

"COMING!" Nick shot out of Miley's bed, messing up his curls before he opened the door shirtless, expecting Lilly.

As soon as the knob turned, there was a push so hard that Nick suddenly found himself on the ground.

"MI- ley…" Joe trailed off, a breath of relief escaped his lips when he found Miley sleeping soundly, curled up with the sheets under her bare arms. At least she's safe.

"What the hell was that Joe?" Nick yelled from the ground, and Joe easily ignored him. Just as Joe was about touch her, Nick shot out to grab his hand. "Wait! Don't touch her!"

"Why?" Joe turned to spat bitterly at his brother. Nick suddenly grew nervous as he looked for a response. If Joe got too close, he'll know! It wasn't supposed to be like this! He was expecting Lilly!

"U-Uh…be-because…Miley is uh…she-uh…naked!" Nick blurted out. Suddenly Joe turned…and everything stopped.

His eyes, darkening with infuriation and burning with murderous intents, sent Nick to release his wrist immediately. "Why?" Joe was no longer asking. He was demanding. With Miley wearing only her strapless gown from last night, revealing her bare shoulders, Nick just knew Joe would react this way. Of course, that was all part of the plan.

"Because she didn't want to stay with you anymore!" Nick scoffed, regaining his composure as he crossed his arms. "You're always in her way, stopping her from what she wants and controlling her every move!"

"Answer, my, Goddamn, QUESTION!" Joe screeched, pinning his brother against the wall as Nick resisted to the strong bounds on his wrists.

"Joe…" Miley groaned softly in her sleep, unconsciously saving Nick from the question as Joe reluctantly released his brother after a scathing glare. Then abruptly, he turned to his girlfriend, a growl ripping through his teeth bared lips.

He wanted to shake Miley awake in the most unpleasant way possible, really he did, and squeeze out every answer until she had nothing left. But something, something in him stopped him from doing so…something someone said…

He already knew what he wanted to know… or what Lilly and Nick wanted him to know.

With a clenched fist, Joe slammed his fist into the wall, shaking the nightstand as a few cameras fell off.

Miley woke with a massive headache, her mind swirling and confused as the blithe light of the sun glared daggers through the window. Weird, Joe always pulled the blinds to let me sleep in…

"Joey…can you get the blinds please?" She mumbled groggily into her pillow.

"Get it yourself." scoffed a voice.

"Thanks ba- huh?" The brunette shot out of bed with wide eyes as she pulled the blanket to her chest tightly, succumbing under a familiar all-knowing smirk. Nick. "W-What are you doing here?"

"Having a great night." Nick grinned, leaning down to her ear huskily. "You were amazing."

"No…no no no no NO!" Miley screeched, shoving Nick out of the way as tears spilled over her eyes. Shooting up, she examined her surroundings. Nick, for one, was only wearing his boxers as she felt her half zipped zippers down her back and her camera knocked off the nightstand along with their shoes carelessly tossed in the middle of the room. "NO WAY! WE CAN'T! THERE'S NO WAY! I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING!"

"Of course you don't babe, you were drunk." The curly haired Jonas shot a smirk that sickened Miley to the stomach and she suddenly felt the urge to hurl. Harshly, Nick forced his lips on hers as she kneed him right in the groin. Nick howled in pain as Miley ran for the door. "Joe knows!" Nick cried weakly as Miley froze. "The evidences are all there, you think he still wants you? You're…tainted." He spat the last word like a disease.

With tears pouring out her red eyes, she rushed out the door, only to fall back on the ground when she ran into someone.

Joe whirled around.

Their eyes locked.

Miley flinched.

Hi my lovely readers! So, I felt that the last few chaps were a bit tense, so I was wondering what you guys feel I should do…

A. Darkish romance/separation

B. Humor/ happier romance

C. Angst? (Miley or Joe's side)

D. Continue with the "tenseness" romance

E. Suggestions? I'm pretty much open to anything even if you think it's completely insane and impossible! (:
