I hope you like this chapter, the story is heading in an amazing place. The more and more i write the more i think about a sequal!!! =] 3 Let me know how you feel about this chapter!!

"Okay Joe, I got in the car. I figure it is because there is a good reason that you have decided to trick me into coming out with you and Nick. So explain." She leans back and buckles her seatbelt as she closes her eyes, I can hear he softly counting to seventeen over and over.

"I've brought you guys both here against your will, because today while I was talking to Miley on the phone I decided that I was sick of you two fighting and not speaking. When we all know that you will be together again eventually, but you stupid younglings' the only way to get to that place again, is to talk about everything. What went wrong, what went right, how you feel, whatever ever the fuck it is you need to say. Now is the time to say it." Joe's smug look was killing me I just wanted to reach up and punch it off his face, this was ridiculous.

Fifteen minutes later the car was dead silent, just the sound of the pavement rolling under the wheels, out destination was unknown. I was staring out of my window and Miley stared out of hers.

"Oh I guess I didn't mention to you guys that, we aren't going anywhere, I'm just driving and driving until you two resolve everything so you better start talking unless you want to live in this car the rest of your lives." He shakes his head at his "brilliance".

"Joe you know it's not that easy to talk about all of this shit when you are there listening to it all. This is kind of a personal thing." I sate simply, and truthfully. The idea of talking to Miley is warming up to me but Joe being here just makes it awkward.

"Well Nick, I know most of everything you guys are going to say, you both have confided so much in me over the years. So don't worry about it. How about whatever is said in the car stays in the car. NOW GO!"

I sigh, look over and Miley who is still looking out the window; "Okay...I'm trying to think where to start here Miley. I guess maybe…I should start by saying I still do care about you…really…I'm not lying." I let out a long deep breath. Waiting to hear what she says.

Slowly I watch as she turns her head to face me, "Nick that means a lot really, I know you mean it. I know by your tone and how you look right now. But that can't just fix everything and you know it. We need to start at when things started going wrong. And I'm not even sure when that was…." She looks at me hopefully wondering if I have the answers.

"Fine, I guess we just start at the beginning, when we first started dating? Although what could there possibly be there for us to sort through?" I asked, looking in the review mirror at Joe's eyes that happened to be staring back at me, a nod of approval was all he gave me before focusing on driving again.

"When we started dating, it was a dream come true. For both of us right?, I knew that wanted to be with you from pretty much that moment we met, something in me clicked and I knew that I had to at least know you for the rest of my life, but I remember this small thought that I shoved aside saying maybe you will even love him. It's corny but it is true, but isn't our whole romance kind of corny? So I guess its okay." She stopped, breaking her eye contact with the floor to look me in the eyes; I could tell she felt slightly awkward and slightly stupid because she felt that she had started to ramble on.

"Well I'm the same way; it was a dream come true I remember meeting you and just being in awe, you were different from so many different girls. And then as our friendship grew and we all, my brothers and you and our families, became so crazy close I knew how much more I liked you. When we finally did go out it was perfect. We were in that stage of blissfulness for a long time too."

"Well it never stopped being so blissful Nick; you act like suddenly one day we stopped getting butterflies or that suddenly we didn't understand each other more than anyone else understood us. Because I know for me it never stopped, it was always blissful. Even right now I can read every emotion, almost every thought of yours. I can feel your energy coming off of you. It's killing me, because it's not mine to have." She turned her head towards the window, unable to look at me.

"Miley, you are right, I feel the exact same way right now and then. I just, I just mean that we had a lot of low points. They made us stronger but I don't know maybe they hurt us more than we realized. Maybe we started to take it all for granted, knowing we would be together in the end. Knowing how strong out love was, maybe we just started to become so used to having the other know us so well it screwed us over. And we didn't even realize it." I hated to have to say it, have to start to really talk about what made it come crashing down that fateful day a year and a half ago.

Ten long minutes passed, I kept my eyes on the back of Joe's seat, he kept his eyes glued to the road, and Miley kept her eyes trained on the window. We sat in silence, the only noise the sound of the car moving on the pavement and the other cars surrounding us on the road.

Finally Miley spoke. "I think you are right in a way Nick. In a way I think we got so comfortable with it, the way we knew each other, our feelings. But I think I'm partially to blame, because of those pictures…"

Before she could finish the sentence I cut her off, "Miley that is both our faults, if you even want to say it is our fault, we are teenagers its not illegal. Or that awful, it's the person who hacked our phones fault actually…" I was about to rant more but she caught me off then.

"I wasn't going to say that," We both smirked for a second, both thinking so much for knowing each other's thoughts so well, haha, "I mean I think I kinda changed, maybe you did too. Once they were leaked, it wasn't really them being leaked it was how the public took it and how Kevin especially took it. I think I always tried to be perfect after that, afraid you resented me for loosing such a great bond with your brother because of me. I didn't want you to think I was any more of a fuck up; I didn't want anyone to think I was this slut or bad girl that they thought I was. I tried so hard, it changed me more than I let on at the time. I don't think I ever even realized till a few months ago." She looked away from the window, but not to look at me she looked at Joe who had moved his eyes from the road to rear view mirror, the locked eyes for a second before he looked back the road. I guess he had been there or something when she realized how much she had changed?

"Miley I would never blame you for what happened with me and Kevin that is all his own fault. He has to get his head out of his ass and stop hating people who don't do exactly what he wants, especially when it comes to 'purity'. I wish I had known that is how you are feeling; you hid it so well I never realized…But you are right I think I changed too. I care so much less about the people around me, I just have blocked at lot of emotions out. I've kinda just put myself into my own little world, worse than I was before, and I don't want anyone in. I go on date after date, just hooking up with these girls who I don't even know the names of. I'm not Nick Jonas anymore I'm this asshole who uses his celebrity for girl and getting away with being an ass and not for the good I could be using it for. I've become a dick." My eyes were steady on the back of Joes seat, this was getting harder and harder to admit to. Realizing everything that might have played a part in our demise was one thing, but saying it out loud in a car with my older brother, who had a really great relationship with Miley and knew god knows what about her and us, and then Miley was just overwhelming me.

"Guys it's been hours, look how dark it is outside. And neither of you has talked for the past two hours. I have five missed calls from both our and your parents" Joe sounded angry, he locked eyes with me then Nick through the rearview mirror. "So tell me what you guys want."

"It's hard to think about it…" Nick states softly, his voice is a kind of hoarse, like he is holding back tears.

"What?" I question with more force than I intended.

"All of it, our past and the inevitable future." He sounds sad at the thought of a future us.

"Nick, do you want this? Us? Again sometimes? Because that last sentence didn't sound like it." The question burns as it leaves me. I realize then how much I really need him. I always knew I did but I think it always seemed fantasy, unreal most days. But this pain, it was all real. Official. Solid.

"I, I think I have to think about that." He stops and sees my head spin. "I never questioned it before, but where would we go from here?"

I go to answer, but words can't form and suddenly the car is spinning. Then nothing.
