Oh what a shame, what a rainy ending give to a perfect day
Just walk away, ain't no use defending words that you will never say
And now that I'm sitting here thinking it thinking it through
I've never been anywhere cold as you
Lily's eyes fluttered open to be met with a darkness surrounding her. She could make out a figure lying down next to her, but barely anything else. The digital clock resting next to the bed flashed 2 am. Lily began to rise from the cushioning piece of furniture, when an arm wrapped around her tightened and pulled her closer to them. She immediately got a whiff of a certain musk she was beginning to fall in love with.
"Joe?" she whispered into his room, he just groaned and tightened his grip on her even more. She giggled, but snuggled closer to him, "Joe?" she tried again.
His eyelids began to rise, revealing the beautiful chocolate orbs that made her stomach flip. "Whoa!" he immediately sprung up from his bed, looking around the room frantically, "How did we end up this way?"
Lily thought for a moment, "We must have fallen asleep after playing 20 questions" she then looked over at Nick's bed expecting to see him there, "Hey, where's Nick?"
"He's probably using the bathroom or getting a glass of water" Joe answered quickly. "Yeah, but his bed is still made, it looks like it hasn't even been touched or-"
"Will your Mom be worried that your not home yet?" Joe cut her off, trying to change the subject. "Na" Lily answered, smiling back at him then lying back down on the bed.
"I'm with you, right?"
Nick and Miley sat on the blanket, facing each other, just talking. "You can not possibly know everything about me Nick!" Miley giggled.
Nick rolled his eyes, "Try me" he challenged.
"Ok" she replied, cracking her knuckles, trying to "intimidate" him…or whatever it was she was trying to do. "Favorite book?"
"Don't Die, My Love"
"Favorite rock music!"
"Coldplay and The Killers" Nick stated, "Come on Miles, at least try to give me one hard question!"
"Fine" Miley sighed, "Why do you love me?"
Nick sucked in his breath, "Miles. That's not a question about you…"
"You only said a 'hard question' in my opinion, which is because I have no clue why you love me, Miley Stewart. Some average teenage girl."
Nick rolled his eyes, "Miley, you annoy me to death sometimes."
"What do you mean?" Miley asked, a hint of hurt running through her voice.
"You never see yourself clearly. I love you Miley, that's all there is to it. I love your smile, I love your eyes, I love how whenever you walk by I can catch a whiff of your vanilla-scented shampoo. I love how when you're alone, you talk to yourself."
Miley was about to interrupt, but Nick stopped her before she could do anything, "I catch you doing it sometimes..." he laughed.
"I love how you're not really into the whole party scene, even when you're as Hannah you leave the party early. Also how you can never find a hiding spot during 'Manhunt' and how you always end up hiding with me, when you're disgusted and scrunch your nose up and how you play with my hair whenever you're bored. I love you and that's all there is to it. But, you have to stop doubting yourself Miley. I'm always going to be here, I'll always be around"
Miley's eyes had become glassy by this time, she climbed into Nick's lap and he began stroking her hair. "I love you and your perfection" she whispered, snuggling up to him.
"I'm no more perfect then you are" he whispered softly into her ear, causing goose bumps to form on her neck.
"Impossible"
Kevin and Selena sat on the swing set, out in the Jonas' backyard. "Um, Selena…don't you think we're a little too old for this?" Kevin laughed.
"You're never too old to have fun!" Selena giggled, as she began to pump her legs.
Kevin laughed and shook his head, "You found Joe's energy bars, didn't you?"
Selena smiled deviously, "No…"
She then burst into laughter along with Kevin, she jumped off her swing and landed on the grassy area in front of her, Kevin ran over and fell back next to her. Soon the laughter died down and the two were left staring at the clouds.
"You're fun to be around. Not too crazy like Joe, not too quiet like Nick. You're great…" Selena smiled.
Kevin turned his head now looking at her. Was it ok if he like a girl 4 years younger than him? That wasn't illegal or anything…was it? Oh god.
"You're fun to be around too" he smiled back. Selena kept looking at the sky when the clearing of a throat awoke her from her daydream.
Selena and Kevin both looked up, "Demi" Selena gasped.
xx
"What are you doing here!?" Selena exclaimed, dragging Demi into the Jonas' bathroom.
She had told Kevin that it was urgent and they needed their privacy. He said he'd be with Frankie and his Mom in the kitchen if she needed him.
Demi walked over to the bath tub and sat on the edge, smiling up at Selena who was looking seriously pissed off.
"Lena, you should know me better than this by now. I always come through on my word" Demi smiled.
Selena rolled her eyes, "Demi, we're done ok? This isn't a game! This is their lives we're dealing with! We can't just walk around screwing them up!"
Demi rolled her eyes, "We're not screwing them up…" she paused, then a devious smile beagn to grow on her face, "we're just, readjusting them...that's all"
Selena sighed frustratingly, "There is no 'we'. They're my friends and I'm not helping you!"
Demi stood up from the bathtub and glared at her, "So that's that then? I thought we were best friends. Help each other through the thick and thin, yeah that would be right about now? Why are you sticking up for them? You barely know them!"
Selena glared right on back, "I know more that you think and I've known them for about a good 2 weeks and that's all I need. They're amazing friends, better then you've ever been!"
Demi slightly gasped, but she then pushed past Selena and made her way to the door, "I guess we know whose side you're on now, huh Lena? Have a nice time with these people. Enjoy it while you can…"
The door blew open and Demi stepped out, slamming it behind her. Selena blew out a sigh of relief.
Something was telling her this wasn't the last of Demi…
"Cookies!" Joe exclaimed, running into the kitchen; breathing in the smell of sugar and chocolate. Mrs. Jonas chucked, "Yes Joseph, cookies. But, they're not for you. They're for our guests." She then nodded her head over to Selena who was walking out of the bathroom.
"Oh and what am I?" Lily asked offended.
Mrs. Jonas smiled, "Lily, in this household you were never considered a guest, always a family member."
Lily smiled thankfully at Mrs. Jonas.
"Yeah, I always considered you my second Mom, right after uh, well you know…" Lily bowed her head, signifying that she didn't really want to discuss anything about Miley's problems at the moment.
"Uh, so where's Nick and Miley?" Kevin asked, trying to change the subject. "Yeah!" Selena added, taking a cookie off the plate that was sitting upon the kitchen island, "I haven't seen them since yesterday…"
At that exact moment Nick and Miley walked through the front door laughing their heads off. "So then Big Rob ended up in the trash can with Joe tied up in the rope. It was priceless!" Nick exclaimed in between laughs. Miley was practically crying she was laughing so hard.
Joe blushed, "I would've gotten out of it two if it weren't for someone skating by on her skateboard, pushing me into Big Rob!" Joe shouted over towards them while glaring at Lily.
"Hey! How was I supposed to know backstage didn't allow skateboards?" Lily tried to defend herself.
"Where were you two?" Mrs. Jonas asked, taking a seat on a stool next to Kevin. "We decided to take a walk on the beach" Miley answered casually. The two of them had become pros at this whole lying thing. They didn't even feel guilty about it anymore.
Nick and Miley walked through the living room and into the kitchen, holding hands. Nick immediately spotted the cookies and was about to dive in when Mrs. Jonas stopped him. "Those are for the guest Nicholas!"
Nick looked around the room confused, "We're having people over tonight?" he asked.
"No" Mrs. Jonas shook her head, "Their for Selena"
"Denise! I am offended! What am I, chop liver!?" Miley exclaimed, placing her hand over her heart for dramatic effect.
Mrs. Jonas rolled her eyes, "Oh miss Miley, you know you were always like a daughter to me…" Lily was about to cut in, but Mrs. Jonas continued, "Both of you!"
"Um, thank you for the kind gesture Mrs. Jonas, but do you really expect me to eat all of these cookies?" Selena asked, gaping at the pile of cookies, there must have been a few dozen of them.
"Hmm…I guess I do go overboard with the amount of them sometimes, don't I?" Mrs. Jonas giggled.
"No!" Joe interrupted, "Don't worry Mom. Keep doing what you're doing, we'll take care of the cookies" he smiled brightly, licking his lips as he stared longingly at the choclately cookies.
In 10 minutes top the plate was empty and all seven teenagers were lying down on either on the couches, chairs, or floor.
Oliver had joined them in almost record time when Lily texted him, telling him there were cookies.
"I don't think I can move" Joe groaned as he attempted to sit up, but reluctantly fell back down, "I don't think I can eat another bite" Nick moaned as he lay across the couch.
"I don't think I can even look at another cookie again!" Selena exclaimed.
"Who wants more?" Mrs. Jonas called from the kitchen.
"I do!" Oliver exclaimed, running into the kitchen. He turned around to look at the pathetic group of kids for a second, "Psh, amateurs" he rolled his eyes before diving in for more.
"Where do you think it all goes?" Kevin asked incredibly.
"Probably where everything else does…" Miley answered, still holding her stomach, "His head, since there's nothing else up there"
'Hannah' was in the recording studio that evening, recording a track for her new album. School had been actually nice that day, Amber and Ashley had thankfully come down with the chicken pox at the same time.
Hallelujah.
"Hannah, let's try that one last time and then we'll take a break" Robby Ray spoke into the microphone, from the other side of the glass window.
Miley nodded her head. The instrumentals began to blast out of her headphones.
This is the life! Hold on tight!
And this is the dream
It's all I need!
You never know where you'll find it
And I'm gonna take my time, yeah
I'm still getting it right
This is the Life
The instrumentals immediately stopped, telling Miley it was time for break. She walked out of the booth to earn a pat on the back from her 'manager'. "Great job darlin'" he congratulated her, "Take 10"
Miley walked over to her bag and pulled out her phone to look at her messages.
'2 New Text Messages' it read.
She clicked on the first one.

Miley looked at the text with disgust, never in a million years. She then clicked on the second one.

Miley stared motionless at her phone. D…D…D? Who the heck was this person?
