So wow, I got so many reviews for last chapter! You guys are great! I cannot believe how much you guys like this story. I would like to thank my friend Pauline for giving me the idea for this chapter. I wasn't going to use it, but I thought that this story could use some more drama, there isn't enough-haha.
But this chapter came out extremely good, much better than I thought! This actually, was my favorite chapter to write. So I hope you all enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!
Here we go.
Last Chapter
They stumbled to the couch beside them, still somehow not letting go of the kiss. They started kissing faster, and it all got more intense.
As Miley was letting go of the kiss to…move on, she screamed and the both of them sat up.
"Joe?!" She screamed.
"Miley?!"
------------------------------------
"Joe?!?" Miley got up and started walking in circles. "Oh god, oh god, OH GOD!" She said upset and frustrated.
Joe got up. "Miley…?"
"Joe I was just making out with my boyfriend's brother and best friend's boyfriend! Don't Miley me!"
"Miley, I was just making out with my brother's girlfriend!" Joe shouted back to her and took a deep breath. "Okay, we uh, just gotta stay calm."
"Stay calm?!?" Miley repeated. "How can I stay calm! This is worse than cheating, for the both of us!"
Joe gave Miley a weird look, and then came back to reality. "Miley, calm down! Just breathe." She took a couple of deep breaths. "Now we cant tell them, you know that right?"
Miley finally looked up at Joe in the darkness. "What?!? No!"
"Miley, do you love Nick?"
"Yes, of course."
"Do you love Lilly?"
"Yeah."
"Well do you want to lose both of them?"
"No…"
"Then you gotta keep your mouth shut!"
"But Joe-"
"Miley, you've got to, you just do. Think of how much we'll lose! They will never have to know, never!"
Miley sighed, thinking of everything that she would lose; her boyfriend of one year that she loved so much, and her best friend since forever. "Okay, fine. I'll be quiet. But you realize how hard this will be, don't you?"
"It'll be hard for me too."
"Happy freakin' Birthday Miley." She mumbled to herself and walked away from Joe.
------------------------------------
Miley's POV
I walked to the corner on the other side of the club. It was just as dark as the corner Joe and I had been in earlier. That thought made me shutter.
I saw a man, about the same height as Joe, with his back turned to me. It was like Déjà vu.
"Nick?" I whispered and slowly walked towards him, making sure it was the person I was looking for.
He turned around. "Miley, where were you? I've been here for almost twenty minutes now."
"I'm sorry, I couldn't find you. I went to the wrong side of the club."
"Oh, I'm sorry. I guess I should have specified that." He said with a laugh.
After a couple minutes, Nick finally spoke and broke the silence. "You look really beautiful Miley."
"Can you even see me?"
"Surprisingly Yes." He replied.
I smiled and I saw the smile on his face even through the darkness.
He leaned in to kiss me. I kiss him back but it just didn't feel the same. It felt empty, like something was in between us.
Oh yeah, a lie. A lie that would be with me forever. I don't now what means more to me, Nick or Nick knowing the truth. Either way, I won't be that same with him.

Joe's POV
I walked back over to Lilly with a big grin on my face like I always do. "Hey baby, wanna dance?" I asked coolly, like the whole thing with Miley never happened.
"Yeah sure." Lilly replied. "But I have to talk to you first."
Oh god, does she know? What if she knows?!?
Ugh, stop it Joe, stop rushing to conclusions.
I quickly sat down at the table she was at.
"Joe I just wanted to say that truthfully, before I met you, I liked Oliver. But then, once we started to dance and everything, I lost all feelings for him." She told me. I had no idea where she was getting at. "But then Oliver told me he loved me, and some of those feelings for him rose up again."
"What are you saying Lil?"
"Well, I wanted to tell you I'm going to give us a shot. I've been taking a bit of time figuring what I want, and I want you. Oliver drank and did drugs and even lied a couple of times." My face became red hot from the last sentence. "And I trust you Joe. So I want to really give us as shot. You know, as a couple, but only if you want."
"Lilly, that's great. Uh-" She placed her hand atop mine that was resting on the table. "Uh, Lilly, I um, gotta go to the bathroom. I'll be right back. I said and jumped up to leave."
"Joe are you okay?" You're acting funny."
"Yeah, fine, perfect. I just need to go. Be right back, I promise."
I left Lilly and rushed for the men's room. I turned on the cold water and splashed it onto my hot face, trying to calm myself down.
I looked in to the mirror and I saw an evil, lying version of myself grinning back at me like a mad-man. I blinked repeatedly and saw my real reflection staring back at me.
"Oh god, what did I do!"
I rested my hands on the counter as the tears fell down my face and into the sink.
So it looks like Miley isn't the only one feeling guilty about what happened. Joe's having a nervous breakdown.
I just finished reading Macbeth in school and this chapter is sort of reminding me of it. When he killed his brother or something, and Macbeth suddenly felt completely guilty of the crime while Lady Macbeth was like, whatever, but afterwards she went like, completely insane. Yeah, that's like Joe, while Miley was like Macbeth. Sorry, rambling…
So anyways, review, because I love, love, love to read them! :)
