Crash
that was you and me, started out so innocently
shattered on the ground, I hear the sound
Crash
ringing in my ears, I still feel the sting of my tears
Someone, Wake me I can't seem to break free

Lily sat frozen, she could hear footsteps downstairs and voices. She slowly began to rise from the bed, then made her way for the door. She stopped mid-step when she heard Mrs. Jonas.

"Carrie, Mark! How are you two?"

She brushed those names off, but she could hear her heart shatter when Kevin greeted the next guest.

"Hey Aly. How's the whole trying to avoid us thing going cause we haven't heard from you in what, a decade?" Kevin joked.

She heard Aly laugh and respond with a, "Shut up Kevin!"

Lily stood at the top of the stairs watching the scene unfold right in front of her blue eyes, "Hey" Joe blushed as AJ walked into the house, "Hey" she smiled. He placed a gentle kiss on her cheek and then took her hand, guiding her into the living room.

Lily sat down on the top of the stairs now cradeling her head in her hands. Miley and Nick burst into the house.

"Lily we need to talk-!" Miley stopped when she saw everyone gathered in the living room making light conversation.

"Crap" she cursed.

Nick looked up at Lily sympathetically. The two climbed up the stairs and led Lily into Nick's room. "We tried to tell you earlier" Miley sighed. Lily just nodded her head, a small tear gliding down her cold cheek.

"It's not your fault." Lily muttered, "I think I'm just gonna go home"

"Please stay for dinner!" Nick insisted.

"Nick" Miley whispered into his ear, "I don't think she would be able to handle it. You know Joe and AJ, they'll be all over each other…"

He bowed his head in defeat, "We'll bring over some left over dessert to your house later Lils" Nick sighed.

Lily nodded her head gratefully, "Thanks guys"

The two led Lily to the front door, saying a quick goodbye. Once the door slammed, Joe looked up. "Hey, was that just Lily?" he smiled.

Typical Joe. When he wasn't with AJ he was a wreck, this lunatic and when he was with her he was so focused on her, he paid no attention to what was going on around her.

"Yes Joe that was Lily! Wanna know why she-" Nick tried to start a fight.

"Left? Her Mom wasn't feeling too well, so she went home to check up on her." Miley finished his sentence.

Joe continued smiling, "Hopefully Heather feels better."

Miley walked over towards the group of people, leaving Nick by the door shaking his head in frustration. She sat down in between Selena and Aly and started to listen in on their conversation.

"No way!" Selena exclaimed, "You got to go on tour with The Veronicas?"

Aly nodded her head enthusiastically, "Yeah! They were so freakin awesome! You know, tomorrow I'm supposed to be going to the mall with them, you should totally join!"

Selena's smile brightened, "I'd love too! Miley should come too! She has great fashion tips"

Aly looked over towards Miley, "Hey Mile" she smiled.

"Hey Aly. How are Bandit and Roadie?"

Aly smiled, "They're great, but they miss Loco" She was referring to Miley's old dog.

"Um, Loco passed away a few months ago" Miley responded dully.

Aly looked at her shocked, "I'm so sorry. Wow, we really haven't talked to each other in a while…have we?"

Miley frowned, "No we haven't. I didn't realize how much I missed you Al!"

The two girls hugged each other and Nick looked at their affection with a disgusted look. What had gotten into Miley? Wasn't she mad at AJ for stealing her best friend's crush away from her?

"Thanks for dinner Mrs. Jonas" AJ smiled at the older woman.

"No problem sweetie! Come back any time! We'll set up an extra place mat for you"

"But, you'll have to bring that amazing apple pie you baked for us tonight again" Mr. Jonas added, coming up from behind Mrs. Jonas and wrapping his arms around her waist.

AJ's smile widened, "I wouldn't dream of it sir!"

Joe walked AJ to the door and quickly kissed her goodnight, "I'll call you?"

AJ nodded her head and made her way for her car.

"Lovely dinner, Denise!" Carrie Michalka exclaimed, "Yes thank you for tonight, we had a great time" Mark Michalka added.

The two made their way for their cars.

Joe finally closed the door and locked it, "Ready to go back to your place Mile?" Selena asked.

Miley smiled at her friend, "Yup, let me just grab my sweatshirt from Nick's room"

Nick shot her a confused look, Miley nodded towards the stairs. He followed her up and once they made it to his room he spoke, "You didn't bring a sweatshirt Mi."

She laughed, "I know"

Miley ran her hand through Nick's curls, scratching his head in the process. Nick moaned at the friction of her finger nails against his head. She then slid her other free hand up his neck to cradle his cheek. She began to trace hearts on his cheeks, then planted butterfly kisses up his neck, making her way to his mouth. Once she reached her destination, she planted a chaste kiss on his lips. He slipped his arm around her waist, fingering the fabric of her shirt. They continued this until air was finally needed, "I just didn't know what your parents would think of me, innocent Miley if they saw me do that in front of them."

"I'm not sure what they'd think. I think you might have to show me again so I can get the full picture" Nick insisted.

Miley just laughed and shook her head, "I'm sorry, but if I don't get home now I'm gonna be late for this date I have with this curly haired boy. You might know him, very attractive. Maybe another time though."

"I see how it is!" Nick joked, "Well have fun on your date"

"I plan too" She replied in a seductive tone and with that, she made her way out Nick's window.

He sighed, God did he love that girl…

Oliver was casually walking around downtown, his mother had sent him to pick up her dry cleaning. It wasn't supposed to be ready till 7:30 PM and it was only 6:45 so he decided to stop by 'The Main Squeeze'. He walked up to the cash register and put in his order, "One pineapple-strawberry twist please" he ordered. He then made his way towards the tables section, waiting for his drink to be called when his phone began to ring.

He reached into his back pocket and pulled out the slim, silver object. "Hey Selena" he answered, "Uh, no I haven't seen Miley."

"Yeah, she might still be at the Jonas''" he replied casually, "Selena Gomez! She is not doing such a thing with Nick right now!"

He began to laugh, "Trust me, I know Miley and Nick. They're waiting…well I guess they love each other. But- wait a minute…I am not getting into this kind of conversation with you!

He heard his number be called and walked up to the counter, exchanging money for the juice.

"Mhmm, well Sel, I gotta go. Just … maybe check her Hannah closet. Alright I'll see you tomorrow. Bye" Oliver hung up the phone.

A brunette slid into the seat next to him, after he took a seat at a random table.

"Hey" she smiled.

"Hey…" he answered cautiously.

"So was that really Selena Gomez you were talking to?" she asked, leaning closer to him.

"Yeah…Hey do I know you?" Oliver asked, her name was on the tip of his tongue.

"Probably" she smiled.

"I'm Oliver" he smiled, putting out his hand so the girl could shake it.

"I'm Demi" she smirked, shaking his hand.

Dun. Dun. Dunnnn ...
That's all I have to say.
