"He did what?" Michel yelled through the phone at what he considered his little sister.

"It's no big deal, Mitch don't worry. All he did was leave a note! He's my boyfriend okay?" Miley had been stressed out when she got home, and accidentally slipping to Mitchell that Nick had come into her house earlier that day while she wasn't there, was not making this situation any better.

"But how do you know that's all he did? I mean, Nick used to do stupid things back in the day. I'm not quite sure he's changed yet." Mitchel mumbled out the last part, almost regretting saying this to Miley. He knew what was best for her, he thought. And no matter what, he would definitely have her back when it came to guys, or just about anything. Especially in his hometown, where he knew everything that was going down. Nick didn't have the best reputation with the ladies around here, and if you were a local you knew that. He had been known to do stupid things. Not abuse or anything too serious, but he definitely took advantage of them or their things in other ways.

Almost too shocked to process this, she thought of what Nick could have possibly wanted to take. That's when it hit her. Nothing. He'd want nothing from this rotten old house. There's not a single thing in there that she thought was worth keeping, apart from the pictures. "Mitch," she started sighing, "He didn't take anything. I know. So let's just stop talking about this, and I'll see you tomorrow at school, okay?"

"Fine. I'll let it go. Night Miles."

"Goodnight Mitchel, I love you." She whispered into the phone, dropping to her bed with a soft thump.

"Love you too," he replied more softly. After he hung up, he looked up to the ceiling of his bedroom thinking, She can't understand what I'm going through.

Demi stepped out of the shower with a towel wrapped tightly around her petite body, heading towards the dresser in her room. Upon its open, she carefully took the time to look at the picture frame on top, which held a picture of her and Joe hugging on the beach. It was taken just over a year ago. She smiled remembering back to that day, when she first saw the compassion in his eyes. And she really felt that he had cared for her.

-11 months earlier-

"It's cold! Why are we still out on the beach?" Demi questioned as Joe continued to stare out into the ocean, finding it strangely enticing. He could stare out into the water all day, just clearing his mind and thinking about Demi. Demi. He turned to see her shivering, and he walked slowly over to her wrapping his arms securely around her, feeling her sigh into his chiseled body. She fit perfectly into his arms. More than he thought a best friend should fit, he thought. There always was a connection between them, and he knew it. It just mattered on whether he would finally act upon it. But for now, he could only be her friend. She had just broken up with Jake, and she had been crying a lot lately.

Making his hold on her tighter, he whispered in her ear. "I love you Dem," causing goose bumps to form on her arm, as his breath blew warmly on her ear. She slightly turned her head upwards to look at him, only to see the stumble on his chin.

"I love you too Joe. You're the best friend any girl could ask for." She dug her head back into his chest, inhaling his scent once again. Little did they both know, this moment would be forever captured? They just admitted their love to each other, yet they didn't specify it. It both was more than just a brother-sister love. No, it was much more than that.

She sighed, putting her Stanford red sweatpants on, followed by the ¾ sleeve v-neck black top. She sat on her bed, lying back in one quick motion. "How did I not know?"

"I hate Saturdays." Nick shoved his eggs into his mouth flipping the channel on the tv with the remote in his hand.

"What is wrong with you? Got your panties in a twist?" Joe giggled to himself finishing up his second helping of bacon. "I thought only Selena could do that to you."

Nick froze at the sound of her name, thinking back to their awkward encounter just the day before. What had she truly wanted? And had she gotten it? He wondered. "Shut up Joe." He finally settled on watching SpongeBob, since he knew it would get Joe to keep his mouth shut until Demi came over later that day, for their usual movie session.

Getting up quietly, he went to his room to call Miley. She picked up on the second ring.

"Nick?" her soft voice sounded through the telephone.

"Hey Miles. I was wondering if you wanted to hang out today? I missed you yesterday. I'm not used to spending my Friday night alone," this got her to slightly laugh. "I missed you." He mumbled out once more feeling nervousness creep into his belly.

"Yeah, I'll be over in an hour. Can we just hang out? Like a movie and talk? Or swim?" she asked, still sounding quiet.

"Of course Mile. See you soon." He smiled to himself, thinking that he'd finally get to spend some time with her. Maybe even tell her he loved her. Not yet, he revaluated. Too soon.

"NICK!" Joe yelled from down the stairs, suddenly making a booming noise as he tripped over the corner of a table and face planted into the couch.

Nick laughed silently to himself before heading down the stairs. "Yes?"

"Demi is coming over in half an hour. She might be PMS-ing, I don't quite know since I forgot to keep track of when it would be this month, but I just don't want you hurting her feelings. So I would prefer you left now, so you wouldn't bore us in your own sorrow."

"For your information, Miley is coming over. And she will be here in an hour. Then we can all hang out together. I'm sure Miley can even out Dem's moods. So, until then, I will be in my room. BYE." Nick sprinted back up the stairs before Joe could reply.

"Freak." Joe mumbled, laying back on the couch un-muting the television and continuing to watch SpongeBob. "Ha-ha, that silly sponge."
