He was getting closer. I could hear his footsteps. He kept calling out my name.

"I gotta go." I whispered into the phone. "He's coming closer." And with that I ended the call.

"Mileyyyy. Wheereee areeee youuu? I'm cominng." He slurred.

I pushed myself closer against the wall in my office.

I heard the door open. There he was. With a bottle of beer in his hand.

"There you are Miley. I was looking all over for you. Now what have I told you about hiding. Oh yea I think it was there is no way in hell you can hide from me. Now come on. Lets get out of here. Its too small for what we're about to do together."

He grabbed my arm and started pulling me towards the door.

"Stop Liam! How many times do I have to tell you we're not dating! I broke up with you! We're done! Let go of me!"

"Oh baby. You really think that matters to me. It doesn't. I don't care if we're not in a relationship. I don't need to be in a relationship with you to do what I'm about to do and to do what I always do. Now come on!"

He pulled even harder and I couldn't get out of his grip. I tried biting his arm. But it didn't work. He punched me in the stomach. Hard. Right where my bruise was. Right where he had hit me last time.

I grabbed my stomach in pain.

"Don't try to resist me next time or it'll be worse than that.

He was able to pull me out of the room and into the waiting room.

"Now there's definitely enough space in here to have fun. If you know what I mean." He winked at me.

He pushed me against the wall. And started kissing me. He pushed his lips against mine but I didn't kiss back.

'What's wrong baby? Am I not a good kisser?"

He moved down to my neck and started kissing it.

Hi hands dropped to my legs. He started to pull down my zipper and undo my pant button.

I tried to pull away. But he just pushed his body on to mine.

"Don't worry babe. I'll make your first time memorable. "

I tried to punch his chest but he grabbed my hands.

"Didn't I tell you not to try that again?" he hissed. "Oh now your gonna get it and trust me it gonna hurt!"

He pulled his body away from mine and pinned my hand again the wall.

He punched me on my chest. Hard he repeated it a couple of times. That was it. I could no longer do anything. The pain was too much.

"You don't like that do you?" he said smirking as he went back to working on my pants.

Nick's P.O.V.

I was finishing up some work. Selena decided to come in today because she felt bad about loading us with all the work the last couple of days.

So right now it was just me and her. Joe had left an hour ago. I hadn't seen or talked to Miley since that day. I wanted to know if she was okay or not but I didn't think it was the best idea to call her. I didn't tell anyone about anything that went on. We were just about to leave when my cell phone rang.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Nick he's here. I don't know what to do." I heard Miley's voice on the other line say.

"Miley who? Liam? He's there? Are you okay?"

I heard someone yelling her name in the back. The person sounded drunk.

"I gotta go." She whispered into the phone. "He's coming closer." And then she hung up the phone.

"Selena we gotta go!" I said as I grabbed my coat.

"What's wrong Nick?" She asked.

"It's Miley. She needs help.

I slammed the car door and ran down the block to the store. Selena was behind me trying to catch up. I hadn't told her anything on the way here. I just focused on getting here as soon as possible.

I threw open the store door and was absolutely shocked at what I saw in front of me.

There was Miley she looked barely conscious and there was this guy like on top of her and from what I could see he was trying to take off her pants.

No way in hell was I going to let that happen. I grabbed the guy from the back of his shirt and pulled him off of Miley. She slid down to the floor.

"Selena go get Miley!" I yelled punching the guy in the face.

Selena ran over to where Miley was lying.

I wasn't done with this guy yet. I punched him again. This time when I pulled back he tried to get me. But before he could I pulled his hands behind his back and rammed him into the wall.

"Don't you ever try to go near Miley gain." I hissed.

"Watch me."

Wow this guy wasn't going to let up was he?

I turned him around and punched him straight in the face and then his stomach. I was just about to go for his face again when Selena stopped me.

"Nick! Just let him go! Look at Miley!"

The minute I let go of him he ran out of the door.

"What's wrong with Miley?' I asked going over to them.

Selena was down on the floor next to her.

I knelt down on the floor next to them.

Miley was now unconscious.

"What's wrong? Where did he hit her?'

"I don't know. She was just like this."

I started to pull up her shirt.

"What the fuck are you doing Nick!" Selena hissed. "This is not the time for this!"

"God Selena you really think I would be doing this? Now?"

I pulled up her shirt and right there the area where her ribcage was all bruised up and red. I put my hand there.

"What's wrong? What happened? Why is it all the bruised?"

"I think she has a broken rib. Lets get her to the hospital." I said picking her up very carefully.

Miley's P.O.V.

I woke up confused to as where I was. There were all kinds of tubes and wires connected to me.

I looked up and saw Nick passed out on an armchair and Selena asleep on another.

I tried to get up but felt a sharp pain in my ribcage when I did.

"Ow."

"The doctor said you should try not to move." Nick said stretching his arms.

"What happened?" I asked as I attempted to sit myself up again.

His face suddenly got all serious as he came over and put his hand on my back helping me up. "Do you really not remember what happened last night?"

"Well there was Liam and then…" that was all I could remember him hitting me and trying to get my pants off.

"The bastard was in there beating you! He broke one of your ribs! What would have happened if Sel and me hadn't come? What would have happened to you?"

"What happened to Liam?" I whispered.

"Oh I took care of him."

"But he'll be back." I whispered again. "He always comes back."

"I promise he won't come back." Nick said as he came closer to me.

"Thanks for being there when I needed you."

"I told you I would always be there for you. Didn't I?"

He leaned in and kissed me.

I didn't hesitate in kissing him back.

This was weird for me. After Liam it was hard for me to open up. Then why did Nick make it so easy for me? Why was it that whenever he was around it felt like everything was going to be okay?

"Wow didn't think I would be waking up to this." Selena said looking at us curiously.

"We didn't know you were going to wake up."

"So what else have you been doing while I was asleep?' and then it seemed like right at that moment she had realized that I was wake.

"Oh my god Miley! Your up! Are you okay!" she asked running towards me.

I laughed. "I'm fine Sel. Thanks to you."

"Oh it was all Nick. The minute you called Nick was out the door. He didn't even tell me anything. He got the car going so fast I thought for sure he was going to get us killed.

Selena really was a true friend. She saw all that happened but she didn't even ask me about it yet. She knew that I didn't want to talk about it.

"Well I'm going to go get some coffee."

"Sel it's three o' clock in the morning. You really going to go out and get coffee?"

"It's never to late for caffeine. And it looks like you guy need some time alone together."

"No Sel its okay you don't have to go. Besides I have to tell you guys something."

"What?"

"Me and Liam started dating the summer out of high school."

"Miley you don't have to."

But I did. I had to tell the. I had to tell somebody. Somebody that cared.

"We dated for about a year and a half. But then I broke up with him because he started drinking. After his brother died he just lost it. He would drink everyday. He would be drunk all the time. And even when he wasn't drunk he was different. It was like he totally changed. Even after I broke up with him he would come back. Drunk. He said I was the reason for it. I was the reason he was like this because I left him. And you know the rest."

Joe's P.O.V.

"I'll pick you up in like ten minutes. I'll call you when I'm downstairs." I spoke into the phone.

"K I'll see you soon I guess." she said giggling.

I met her last week when we were out that new club. Everyone had left. Well not everyone. Nick had left with Miley. It seemed like something was going on between them. Taylor had taken Selena home. Taylor was still on the dance floor grinding against some guy. She was laughing at everything he said. But I mean come on he couldn't be funnier than me.

The girl I was talking to left to go to the bathroom and that's when I made a run for it. I mean she was hot and all but I could totally tell all she wanted to do was get in my pants.

I walked out of the club and into the cool air outside. I didn't drive myself here so I knew I would have to take a cab home. As I turned the corner I heard crying.

"Now who could that be?' I thought to myself.

There was a girl huddled on the floor. She had her knees to her chest and her head buried in her hands. She was the one crying.

"Umm are you okay?" I asked unsure of what I was doing.

"No I'm not okay! Do I look okay to you? No I don't because I'm not okay!" she snapped at me.

"Well umm what's the matter?"

"My boyfriend broke up with me that's what. So I'm about to go over to his place right. But then he calls me and he tells me it's not working out and he met someone else who he's now madly in love with. He told me this on the freaking phone! I mean who does that! And come on like I'm really going to believe the whole falling in love thing. How dumb does he think I am?'

"Well at least you got a reason. " I said sliding down next to her.

"What do you mean?'

"Well I'm like in this relationship for like five years. And I think it's going great. But then one day out of nowhere she breaks up wit me. And she doesn't even tell me why. And you know what the worst part is everyone takes her side. Like I'm the one who broke up with her!"

"Do you still love her?"

I answered without even thinking. "Yea I do."

"I still love him too."

" We just met and we've and I don't know why I just told you all that. I haven't told anyone else."

"I know it's so weird. I don't even think I could tell my best friend this. So let me properly introduce myself. I'm Demi."

"Joe." I tell her.

And that's how we met.

"Hey there." She said sliding into the passenger seat. But leaning over first to peck my lips.

"Hey. So what do you wanna do today?"

"Lets go to the movies. The Vow came out yesterday ad I' dying to see it."

"Seriously The Vow? That chick flick. Anything but that please." I said groaning.

"Oh please Joe you're gonna end up loving it. And it wouldn't hurt for you to be a little like Channing Tatum yourself."

"Whatever then. Lets go see The Vow." I replied sighing.

"Yay! I knew you'd cave. You always do."

"Babe you haven't known me that long to know me like that.

"Well I can read you like a book." She answered laughing s she slid on her sunglasses.

Taylor's P.O.V.

God it's been a long week. I've just been working this whole week. I was working twenty four/seven and now I finally could get a break.

I didn't know what I waned to do with my free day.

I had called Selena earlier but she said she was busy. Something about being at the hospital with a friend. I don't know.

I tried calling all of my other friends but it seemed like everyone was busy today.

So I decided to go see a movie. The Vow was out and I was dying to see it.

While I was in line waiting to buy a ticket I noticed that a couple in front of me was making out.

I mean seriously. In line waiting to buy a movie ticket?

After about two minutes of non-stop kissing they finally pulled way from each other.

"Wow." I heard the girl say. "That was amazing."

"I know." The guy agreed.

"Can you believe how we met? Talking to each other about our exes. I hope those things don't happen to us or come between us,"

"They won't." I heard him promising her.

Wait that voice sounded familiar. Too familiar. It couldn't be.

I stepped out of line to get a closer look. It was! It was Joe! He was the one talking to the girl and making out with her. But it wasn't like the flings he usually had. This was different. He seemed to be serious with her. He had gotten over me. And I don't know why but that hurt so much. The kind of pain you don't think is ever going to stop.

"Joe?"

He turned around to say who had called his name and was shocked to see me standing there.

"Taylor I…" he started to say something.

But I didn't want to hear it.

I just did what I do best. Run.

So there you have it guys a little bit of Jemi. I hoped you like this chapter. It didn't come out exactly how I wanted it to do but it is way better than my last one in my opinion.

So what do you guys think is going to happen?

I am writing this on the plane. I still have about an hour and a half left so who knows I may start writing chapter three of Promises Are Meant To Be Kept but I'm not going to post it until I get the 12 reviews.

I also wanted to apologize about the last chapter. I know it wasn't edited. But I just wanted to put it up right away so I just left it as it was. But I will definitely edit this one. If you guys want me to go back and do that one I will.

So I will post the next chapter of this story, which is chapter nine after I get 30 reviews.
