AN: Hello to all, I'm back with another chapter that I hope you will enjoy and if you don't oh well, you can't please everyone. Thanks to everyone that reviewed, and here's the next chapter!

~ * ~ * ~

" Mia." Brian said in shock. He didn't know what else to say. He could see it in her eyes that she wasn't to happy to see him.

" Brian." Mia said. It's been so long since she's seen him. He looked the same, the same guy she feel for.

" What are you doing here?" Joey asked Brian, trying to break the stare between Mia and Brian.

" I came to talk to you about something, but it can wait." Brian explained before he walked out.

" Wait." Joey called out as she stood from her seat and ran after Brian, leaving Mia sitting alone. " Brian, wait!" Joey said as she stopped him from opening the car door.

" What?" Brian asked as he let go of the car door and looked at Joey.

" Are you okay? I'm so sorry, I forgot to tell you this morning. I was but going to tell you but you pissed me off and I forgot." Joey explained, she didn't want Brian to be mad at her, it upset's her to see him like this and she doesn't know why, why does she feel like this towards Brian?

AN: Okay this is not professional but there's something I want to say. If I was Joey or Mia or Monica, anyone of those bitches, there is no way in hell I could just be his friend, awe hell no. I mean look at those blue eyes and that mouth, damn! He is fucking gorgeous. Okay back to the story.

" I'm fine. I just wasn't expecting to see Mia, I've forgotten how beautiful she is." Brian explained as he leaned against the car.

" Oh." Joey said as she just stood there

~ It hurts me to see the pain across your face.

All of a sudden I care if something bothers you.

It hurts to hear you talk about her.

Why?~

" Joey?" Brian asked as he waved a hand in front of her face, pulling her out of her thoughts.

" Yeah?" Joey asked as she looked at him, confused.

" If Mia is in town, is everyone else?" Brian asked.

" Yeah." Joey said in a cringed face.

" Great." Brian said as he ran his fingers threw his hair.

" Their only in town for a couple of days, you don't have to see them. Mia, set this up as a surprise, they don't know their here to see me only a couple know like Letty and Leon but Dom does not know. I never have to mention you and neither does Mia." Joey explained.

" I'm gonna go." Brian said as he opened the car door, then left.

After a couple of seconds, Joey went back inside and sat next to Mia again.

" Sorry about that. I wanted to make sure he was okay." Joey explained to Mia.

" Why do you care?" Mia asked.

" About what?" Joey asked, she had no idea what she meant.

" Brian. Why do you care if he's okay?" Mia asked, she's a little pissed because of the way Joey got up and ran after Brian.

" What are you talking about? I don't care about Brian." Joey said.

" Whatever. You can't like him. Don't get sucked into his deep blue eyes or his charm or his perfectly shaped mouth or the way he looks at you or the way he looks without a shirt." Mia rambled causing Joey to smile and remember the time she saw Brian without a shirt.

" Wait a minute, aren't you seeing someone?" Joey asked.

"We broke up, why?" Mia asked.

" Then you've moved on, why do you care so much what Brian's doing or who I care for?" Joey asked.

" I don't. I'm just trying to warn you. Brian will just use you." Mia said.

" Don't worry. I don't like Brian and even if I did, nothing would happen. I don't date guys you have. That would be nasty, you're my cousin." Joey explained.

" Ok. Good." Mia said as she stood up. " Meet me at this restaurant in an hour, dress fancy." Mia said as she hugged Joey and left.

Joey sat for a couple of minutes before she decided to go get ready.

~ Since I laid eyes on you, you've been on my mind.

I don't know why.

In a short matter of time, you've become a big part of my life.

This can't be, we can't be.

I try to put you out of my mind, it doesn't work.

Do you think of me, the way I think of you?~

Since Mia told her to dress fancy. After Joey took a shower, she left her hair down, then put on a dark blue dress with spaghetti straps. The dress stopped mid-thigh with a high-low him.

It only took Joey a half hour to get ready, she still has time to kill. Joey decided to go see Brian, to make sure he's okay and a part of her just wants to see him.

~ I try so hard not to think of you, it doesn't work.

I wonder if your okay, or if your sad.

I want to know what you feel.

Do you think of me the way I think of you?

Or do you think of her?~

Joey walked to the back since no one was in the front.

" Hey." Joey said to everyone sitting in the back.

" Damn girl. What's the occasion?" Tej asked as he looked over Joey.

" I have to have dinner with my cousin." Joey said with a smile.

" You mean Mia? That's why he looks sop down." Rome said out loud as he thought it out.

" he's down?" Joey asked as her smile faded.

" He didn't say anything, he just went to his room." Rome explained.

" I'm gonna go talk to him. I'll see you guys later." Joey said before she left to Brian's room.

Joey knocked on the door, and waited for him to open.

" What are you doing here?" Brian asked. Then he saw what she had on, he found her so beautiful.

" I have time to kill and from what I hear, your feeling down." Joey said as she walked into his room.

" Why do you care?" Brian asked.

" The question of the day." Joey said as she sat in a chair in the corner of his room.

" What does that mean?" Brian asked as he sat on his bed.

" Nothing, Mia asked me the same thing, why do I care? I don't I just feel bad because this is all my fault, I should have told you." Joey explained as she rubbed the hem of her dress.

" That doesn't matter. Why are you so dressed up?" Brian asked.

" Oh, I have to go to dinner and I don't want to." Joey admitted.

" Why?" Brian asked as he saw it in her face, that she wasn't to happy about this dinner.

" I haven't seen Dom in years and I'm scared of how he's going to react to seeing me, if he's still gonna hate me." Joey explained.

~ I'm opening up to you.

I never share my feelings, what is it about you?

Your different, I just don't know how.

I'm not suppose to feel this, I promised I wouldn't feel this.

I can't help it, your opening me up.~

" I have to go." Joey said as she all of a sudden stood up. " I'll see you later, I guess." Joey quickly said before she ran out of his room.

" What was that about?" Brian asked himself.

Joey drove as fast as she could to the restaurant, she spent more time at Brian's then she had planned, she was running late.

" Where is she?" Mia asked her self as she and everyone else sat at the table.

" Mia, what's going on? I know something is up. You dragged us to this restaurant, made us get dressed. What's up?" Dom asked as he began to get frustrated.

" Alright, I guess I can't hide it anymore. I have a surprise for you. There's someone coming to dinner but their a little late." Mia explained, hoping he would stop with the questions.

" Who?" Dom asked.

" You'll see, just wait." Letty fired at Dom.

" So your in on this too?" Dom asked as he eyed Letty.

" Yes I am. It's time you get over your self." Letty said with a lot of attitude.

" Guys, would you stop?" Mia asked.

"Mia, are you okay? You seem a little bitchey." Leon pointed out

" I'm fine." Mia said as she clamed her self down.

Joey parked her car. Before she walked in to the restaurant, she smoothed the back of her dress. " You can do this." She told her self as she walked into the restaurant, it only took a second to stop the table where everyone is sitting at.

Dom looked up and stopped his cousin, the one he disowned years ago. He is shocked to see her, a part of him was happy to see his once best friend, the other part of him is furious angry to the traitor she became.

" So this is your big surprise?" Dom asked with clenched teeth towards Mia.

" Yes. It's time you work this out." Mia said.

" There's nothing to work out, she knows what she did and how she betrayed me." Dom said as he stood from his seat and began to leave.

" Wait. How long are you going to act like this. I told you over and over, I never meant to hurt you and I didn't become a cop to make you mad." Joey explained as she held back tears. " When are you going to see that? When are we going to be a family again?" Joey asked.

" Are you still a cop?" Dom asked, Joey nodded her head. " Then there's nothing to talk about, your not my family, you're the enemy." Dom said before he left.

" I'll go talk to him." Letty said then ran after Dom.

" This is not how I wanted this to go." Mia said, feeling really bad about the way Dom treated Joey.

" Look, it's not your fault, you tried. I have to get out of here. I'll see you tomorrow." Joey said then left the restaurant.

With out even realizing it, she drove home. Joey walked up to the steps of her garage, then she couldn't take it anymore, she feel apart.

The tears she was holding back just spilled. She sat on the step with her knees to her chest. Dom really hurt her, she wishes he could see the truth.

~ Here I sit, in so much pain.

There's no one here to see the pain I feel,

You came along with a shoulder to cry on.

How did you know?

How did you know I needed you?~

Joey sat on the step with her head down, all of a sudden she felt a hand on her shoulder, as she looked up, she saw Brian.
