Meanwhile
Miley's house
Joe's POV
"Come on Lilly. Get that skinny butt over here and help me set these up"
"Why are you doing this again? Are you like trying to put on a show?"
"Uh yea that's kinda the point" I said shooting her a that's-a-stupid-question look.
"Geez sorry"
"It's okay I forgive you" I replied plastering a smile on my face
"Oh gee thanks I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't" she answered sarcastically rolling her eyes.
"And you say I'm the Drama king"
"Actually I believe my exact words were 'Joe stop being a drama queen"
"Whatever" I said scoffing.
She started re-arranging the fireworks...all wrong I might add.
"Lilly what are you doing?"
"Umm putting these up isn't that what I'm supposed to be doing?"
"Yea but your doing it wrong" I said matter of factly.
"Oh sorry i didn't know there was a right way to setting up fireworks."
"Well there is. First of all the psh psh psh boom one cannot I repeat cannot go next to the twirly on the ground thing." I explained to her. She just looked at me dumbfounded.
"This one and This one" I said pointing the fireworks out to her.
"Umm okay but why not?"
"I don't know"
"So then why are you making me move them?"
"Because I said so." She looked at me smirking. "The last time I checked this was Joe's Firework Show not Lilly's Firework Show"
"When did we decide it was your show? Maybe Nick wants to do fireworks"
"He can't" I answered sharply
"And why not?"
"Because I said so"
"Nice one Joe"
"Anyway just put them in this order and you'll be good" I said rearranging them the way I wanted.
"If you say so"
"I do say so"
"Okay Sir Joe"
I laughed at myself and continued putting the fireworks in the order they'll be lit later.
"JOE! LILLY! The food's ready" Ashley yelled across the yard.
"ooo food I said dropping the fireworks in my hand on the ground.
I heard lilly whisper "Well i guess we found the one thing HE loves more than fireworks."
"I can hear you Lilly" I said turning around watching her blush. I jogged back to her and grabbed her hand. "Come on I'll race you there" and with that I took off running.
"Hey no fair you cheated" She yelled running after me. She must run a lot cause she ended up catching me and tackling me to the ground and falling on top of me.
Her whole face went red as she went to get up. She didn't make it very far because I grabbed her waist and pulled her back down towards me and flipped us over to where I was on top. I pulled back placing my hands on the side of her head.
"Joe..." She whispered.
"Lilly..."
"Could you get off of me so we can go eat?"
I just shook my head no
"Joe please I'm hungry"
"Nuh uh" I said refusing to move
"Why not? Those burgers smell amazing"
"Because I said so" and I leaned in closing the gap between us with a soft kiss and I quickly stood up.
"Come on lets go eat" I said extending my hand to help her off the grass which she gladly accepted and headed to the back porch.
Jackson's POV
The food was finally ready. I was glad cuz I was starving. I headed to the back porch where everyone was already at. Nick and Miley were sitting on the steps feeding each other. Lilly and Joe were sitting at the table talking about something or another. Kevin was telling Ashley how cute she looked with her apron on. Mine and Mandy's dad were talking baseball. And i was all by myself usually I'd have Mandy but I guess she's at home.
I grabbed a plate and filled it with potatoe salad, a burger and creamed corn. I was just about to dig in when the doorbell rang. I looked around to see if anybody would get it but apparently no one was. I headed to the door annoyed that I was interrupted when I was just about to eat.
"Can I help you?" I asked swinging the door open.
"Yea you see my boyfriend lives here, his names Jackson, you might know him, and I miss him an awful lot."
"Mandy?"
"Yea Jack it's me"
"What are you doing here?"
"Well word on the street is that there's this kick ass barbeque happening here and I thought i'd try and crash it."
"Really who's spreading that lie" He said smirking.
"Oh just some brunnette curly haired girl who i've been shutting out as well as a lot of other people" She replied her face guilt ridden.
"Oh yea her... as for the other thing I'm sorry I should have understood I mean I did go through this too. It was just hard Mandy. I mean you wouldn't even say hi to me. It was always a 'hmmph' or a groan or other things. It was just hard to see you shutting down."
"I know Jack" She replied as tears welled in her eyes.
"Mands?"
"Huh?" She said facing me for the first time that night.
"I'm glad you came" I replied as I cupped her cheek and went in for a tender kiss.
"I forgot how much I missed your kisses."
"Me too. Come on lets go get you something to eat I bet your starving." I said grabbing her hand and leading her to the back.
"Actually I am" She giggled.
"Well then we better hurry."
Lilly's POV
"No Tony Hawk is definitely better than Ryan Sheckler"
"Well obviously he's a lot older and has more experience but you wait till later on Ryan will blow Tony out of the water" I argued back
"Yea Yea Yea. You just say that cause you think Ryan is hott"
"Yea and your point is?"
"Well Ryan's a personal friend and I don't like my friends drooling all over my other friends"
"You really know Ryan? personally?"
"No, but I like to tell people that" I smacked him playfully on the arm.
"Ow what was that for Truscott?"
"Lying to me" I said simply
"Remind me never to do it again will ya?"
"Nope I like to watch you squirm" I smiled at him. We had a staring contest for a couple seconds before a voice pulled us out of our thoughts.
"Is there room for one more?"
"Mandy!" Miley yelled "I thought you weren't going to come. I thought you were mad at me after what happened earlier. I'm sorry about that by the way."
"Don't be I needed it" She said stepping closer to pull her in a hug.
I sent her a small wave and she just smiled at me before she headed inside to fill up her plate.
Miley's POV
I'm so glad Mandy decided to come. I know everyone will do their best to keep her entertained.
"Are you done eating Miles?"
"What?..."
"I said are you done with your plate?"
"Oh yea sorry"
"Where were you?"
"What are you talking about?" I asked confused.
"Just a minute ago. You seemed out of it."
"Oh yea i was just thinking about Mandy"
"I see"
"Yea she seems fine but I know she isn't"
"Your probably correct. I'll be back in a minute I'm just gonna go throw these kay?" I shook my head and he tenderly kissed my forehead. "I'll be back."
"If you must leave me then be gone"
"Hey Everybody it's time for...drum roll please...Joe's Firework Show!" Joe yelled
Oh this should be good. I said giggling to myself.
Mandy's POV
"Is everybody ready? The show is about to start" Joe asked as Jackson quickly grabbed my hand and we layed down on the grass looking at the sky
"Joe just get on with it please" Yelled Kevin.
"Yea Joe just light the damn things." I replied slightly grinning.
"Okay fine you guys don't have to be rude" I giggled at this
I glanced around the back yard in astonishment. Everyone looked so happy. Ashley was sitting on Kevin's lap, Miley was wrapped tightly in Nick's embrace, Lilly was staring intently at Joe and Robby was superivising. Probably not a very good idea on his part. It was then that I realized I have a lot of people that really care about me and I didn't want to let them down not tonight at least.
I was pulled out off my thoughts when I heard as Joe would explain a psh psh boom. There was a multitude of fireworks going off at once. There were the willow looking ones. The ones you couldn't even hear till they exploded in the sky. I looked up just in time to see an amazing purple colored willow one and felt Jackson's hands protectively wound around my waist.
The next thing I heard was not as comforting.
"Ow that burnt! My poor guitar playing fingers they're gonna fall off. Oh no if I lose them who's gonna play the tambourine. This is not good. Not good at all" yelled Joe Holding his fingers in his mouth jumping around the yard.
"Joe your not supposed to pick up the shells until they cool" Robby explained.
"Well I didn't know geez"
"Who's idea was it to let him do fireworks?" He questioned looking at all the kids
"I believe it was drama queens"
"And that would be who"
"Joe" Miley replied.
"I see. Joe how about we put you in charge of sparklers. Do you think you could not burn yourself"
"Yes Sir" He said saluting him.
I cracked up laughing. Gosh I missed Joe and his crazy antics.
Joe's POV
Sparklers my favorite. I said grabbing a handful. Everybody else ended up going inside to watch a movie. Which just left Lilly and I outside.
"Hey wanna play a game?"
"What kind of game?"
"Well you have to spell things out with the sparklers and the other person has to try and guess it"
"Umm sure I guess there's nothing else to do"
"Okay then don't act so enthusiastic" I replied sarcastically
"I'll try not too" She said rolling her eyes
"Who's going first?"
"I guess I will" She said as she began spelling out the word awkward.
"Awkward? come on Lilly you could come up with something better than that. Oh I got one"
"Okay go for it. I'm ready for this" She said standing in ready position.
"Here's your words" I said slowly drawing out the letters.
"W-i-l-l...Will okay next word...y-o-u...you haha I got it...b-e...be that one was easy...m-y...my" I was hesitant about drawing the last word I mean sure we act like a couple already but there is the off chance she'll say no. I decided it was now or never.
"g-i-r-l-f-r-i-e-n-d...girlfriend?...Will you be my girlfriend?" She questioned confused.
"WILL you be my girlfriend Lilly?" I asked putting everything on the line.
She then drew one little word that would change my life.
Y-E-S
A/N: So I didn't like this part of the barbeque all that much. But oh well anyway hope you guys at least semi like it. So I cut Joe's firework show a little short and it was very uneventful but leave it to Joe to actually burn himself.
Review Please
P.S. Did anyone go out and by the new Hannah Montana DVD? I know I did I was very excited too lol.
