Hey-yo. Sorry it's been a month. I have been really busy/lazy. But This chapter is really big! So it's worth waiting. Well I think so! So enjoy:)

I smirk as he walks away and begin to turn around but feel a firm grasp on my arm. I look up to see Joe staring, no scratch that glaring at me. I look at him innocently.

"Can I help you?" I teased and his grip tightened, so did his clenched teeth. I bit my lip, worried of what he was going to do or say.

"What the fuck?" He snapped, making me jump a little. I wasn't giving up the "Play dumb" act yet, I pushed my eyebrows together and shook my head softly. "What?" He rolled his eyes, catching on to my act. He let go of my arm and pushed me against the wall. I looked around surprised nobody noticed his sudden move.

"You know what! Really?! Going to the prom with Nate, the same guy who tried to rape you." He yelled softly. I looked into his eyes and I gulped, think of something to say quick! I bit my lip.

"Oh you heard that, hah wow word travels fast!" I joked and patted his arms, bad move. Joe gave me the nastiest look, giving me chills. What was he going to do?! Tear my head off?

He crossed his arms and shook his head in annoyance. "Of course I heard it! You were practically screaming it. Just stop, you disgust me."

I felt my heart sink and tears form in my eyes. I was about to reply when he turned back towards me and proceeded to yell at me. "And if your doing that to make me jealous or something, well it didn't work. I'm not!" Joe spat making me want to slide down the wall and bawl till my eyes hurt, but I had to stay strong, his opinion meant nothing to me, I told myself over and over again. But he wasn't done yet.

"I can't believe I even liked a girl like you!"

That did it, the tears gushed out and I opened my mouth to reply. "Good, Awesome! I'm glad. Because I don't want you. And maybe Nate and I will, will..." I thought quick, "Finish where we left off."

Joe pursed his lips, his eyes practically pouring out anger I felt his hands grab my hips, about to push me hard against the wall again, until we heard the booming voice of Mr. Werner, the principal.

"My office now!" He yells and we turn around instantly, as Joe releases his grip, he slides past me and goes into the office. I follow glaring at the back of Joe's head. I hear the door slam behind me, someone pissed in there coffee today, I think to myself trying to calm myself down. This is the first time being in here, Joe slumps into one of the chairs calmly, but it's probably not Joe's first time. The walls are a dull gray as well as the chairs. It makes the room feel smaller and more crouched in than is it, I think they did that on purpose to freak the kids out more. It's working.

Mr. Werner sits in his spinny chair in front of us behind his desk. I notice pictures of his daughter and his wife. I bet he's a great husband! He folds his hands on his desk and stares at us for what seems to be forever until speaking.

"Now, I heard about your little fight on the bus, right after getting sent there for god knows why, then I see you Joseph, pushing against Miley on a wall and yelling at each other." I frowned and looked down, embarrassed with our behavior.

"I don't know what you two's problem is, but it needs to be fixed, now."

We both let out a sigh and I raised my head to look at Joe. He rolled his eyes and unwillingly looked up at me. "I'm sorry Joe..." I felt gross saying that, I wasn't sorry at all though. Joe smirked at me and looked back at Mr. Werner.

I went on, "I'm sorry that your a jealous, over-protective freak who can't leave me alone." I smiled as Joe's mouth dropped as his head turned to look at me again.

"Mrs. Stewart enough!" Mr. Werner growled.

Joe put up a hand in defense, "No, no Mr. Werner. It's okay to admit what you think about someone. But I know that Miley here, is a stupid, annoying insecure little girl, who needs to get over herself."

I gasped and sat upjust as Joe slouched down and put his hands behind his head.

"Stop it now! If you can't fix this I will! After school detention for a month, separately. You can think about your little problem with each other there."

I gasped again and groaned. Mr. Werner stood up, "Starting tomorrow, sharp."

He walked out leaving Joe and I alone again. Joe stood up, and walked by, purposely bumping my arm. He scoffed. "Nice job, this is all your fault." He mumbled. I didn't feel like replying, that's what got us here in the first place.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I walked out of the school, only a few cars were left by now but I noticed Mitchie's still here. I looked around and noticed Alex and Mitchie coming towards me from the school. I turned around completely and looked at them confused.

"What are you guys still doing here?" I asked. Alex grabbed my arm as Mitchie grabbed the other as we starts walking towards her car.

"Tell us what happened!" Alex said excitedly, I pushed my eyebrows together. Why were they happy, I just got detention for a month, yay?

"Um, I have after school detention for a month now."

Mitchie snorted and opened the door to her car, I stopped in my tracks, where we going? "Ouch, but that's not what were talking about. Your going to Prom with Nate!"

Alex pushed me in and I slid to the middle seat as Alex got in behind me. Mitchie shut the door and scurried to the drivers seat and got in. This was weird on many levels, I thought they hated Nate? Mitchie was about to put in the key before I grabbed her hand.

"What is going on? You guys are happy I'm going with Nate, and where are you taking me, my car-" Alex stopped me short.

"Woah slow down. First of course were happy, we were getting worried you didn't have a date." I scowled at that, of course I was going to get a date. Go alone Ha! I let Alex go on. "Second, were getting prom dresses of course! And third you can get your car later, we already talked to your dad and everything."

I looked at Mitchie who nodded and proceeded to putting the key in and starting the car. I sighed and slumped against the seat before realizing something. "When is the prom, and who are you two going with?"

Alex and Mitchie both let out a giggle, was I missing something? "Man your observant aren't you? It's tonight!" My eyes widened, TONIGHT?! Wow that leaves us no time. Well, I I guess I wasn't really planning on going all out princess, but still we needed to hurry if Nate was picking me up at 7:00.

"And were getting our dresses now, why didn't we get them sooner." I asked. Mitchie bit her lip before replying, "Well we were waiting for you to get a date."

I nodded, "Okay you answered one of my questions..." Mitchie swerved to a left making me pound into her, I sat up and looked at her like she was a mad man. She mumbled a sorry before Alex finally spoke up.

"Well I'm going with Jake Ryan, and Mitchie's going with his friend Sam Stipic." I raised an eyebrow and casually moved my head to look at Alex. "Jake? That's kinda... weird."

Alex shrugged and looked out the window, ignoring the look I was giving her. "Yeah it was kind of a last minute thing like you."

We drove in silence for the rest of that way until we stopped in a little store in Elma. I stepped out, it looked like a cute store and a few dresses already caught my eye from the windows. Alex opened the door for us, "We don't have time to go all the way to Olympia but I'm pretty sure no one has shopped here."

I looked around before finding myself in the strapless dresses. Alex and Mitchie were in the dressing rooms now. I looked to my right and noticed a green, floor length dress. I almost ran to it, stupid idea since I stumbled over a shoe box. I recovered my balance and walked the rest of the way to the dress. It was in 3 other colors but I liked the green the best. I took it off the rack now noticing the detail of the dress. This was it, this was the dresses. I skipped to the dressing rooms now more careful and called to Alex and Mitchie that I was trying on a dress. (Link to ALL the dresses and tuxes on my profile!)

I stripped down and pulled the dress over my body. The fit was amazing, and it showed off all the right curves in the right places. I stared at myself in the mirror, It. Was. PERFECT! I squealed to myself, "I found the dress, are you guys ready?" I asked. Alex and Mitchie both said yes and we counted down from 3 to come out.

"3" I said, "2" Alex said after me, "3" Mitchie said excitedly and we swung open our doors. I looked at Mitchie's first. It was a little past the knee and strapless. It was simple yet elegant. It had a black bow around it that finished it off. I looked at Alex's next. It was floor length and gray, a sparkly pin that was just below her hip pulled the dress slightly. The sparkly straps just made it all the more better.

"Wow they are are beautiful!" I exclaimed. They agreed and we joined in a hug. After our embrace I pulled apart a looked at the clock, 4:27.

"Okay let's get these dresses off, 2 and a half hours till our pickups."

We paid and left and hurried home. We decided to get ready at my house since it was closer. Our hair was first, I curled it completely in tight curls and pulled it up into loose bun leaving out some curls and my bangs. (Link to hairstyles on my profile) Alex also curled her hair and pulled it up but she pushed the bun to the side, and left her bangs down also. Mitchie always being the simple but still beautiful one just curled her hair in big curls and left it down. I went a little heavier on make up, and put in some black dangling earrings. Before we knew it, it was 7:00 and our dates would be hear any minute. We walked out and were greeted by my dad. He was holding a camera, no two camera's, with a big grin on his face.

"You girls look beautiful! Now stand together and smile." We pulled in together and posed for the picture, the camera went off and we pulled apart. He grabbed the other camera but I stopped him. "Dad just wait until the guys get here okay?" I begged. He huffed but nodded.

"So who are going with again?" He asked sitting on the arm of the couch. I turned my head to look at him, my earring hitting the side of my face softly. "Nate Gray."

Dad smiled wider at that, I sorta wished he hadn't. "Oh him! Oh he's a great guy, so is he your boyfriend or something?" I almost choked at that, Nate Gray having a girlfriend ha! I shook my head trying to hide my smile, as dad's faded. "Um no, we're just... friends."

A moment later I heard the door bell ring and Dad jumped up from his seat, "I'll get it!" He said all-too excitedly. He scurried to the door and swung it open wide. I turned my head and watched as Nate smiled his brilliant smile at dad and shook his hand, before looking at me. I smiled at him and we all three walked over to them and greeted our dates.

"Hi Nate." I said confidently. I saw him gulp as he looked me up and down, eying parts he shouldn't have in front of my dad. But luckily my dad was busy talking to Jake and Sam.

"H-hi Miley, wow you look, amazing." I let out a small sight, thankful he didn't say 'Hot' or 'Sexy'. I thanked him and noticed what he was wearing. A baby blue button up shirt, and a multi-colored striped tie, with a dark blue blazer over it, and dark jeans. I was impressed. We turned to looked at my dad as he held up the camera.

"Miley and Nate first." I felt Nick's arm wrap around my waist, pulling us closer, we smiled and the flash went off. My dad took the rest of the pictures and finally let us go. "Be back by 12 or sooner!"

"Yeah, yeah." I laughed and walked out the door with Nate, everyone close behind. I we walked off the deck, towards the drive way until I stopped in my tracks. There on my driveway was a white stretched limo. I gasped and looked at Nate, he smiled at me.

"You like?" He said walking towards it and opening the door. I nodded, my mouth still open. "Yeah! How did you get this?"

Nick laughed softly, at my shock. "A buddy worked at a limo place, I asked for one. No biggie." Yeah no biggie for you, I thought as I got in, I heard Alex whisper. "Damn your boyfriend is loaded!" I scoffed and replied quietly. "He's not my boyfriend!"

Alex made a disbelieving 'mmhmm'. After Mitchie and Alex were in the guys slide in on the other side, so we were facing each other. The car started and we were off on our way to school. It was awkward at first so I tried to work up a conversation.

"So, how's... football?" I asked Nate, he grinned at me, obviously liking the subject I chose. He started talking about how they were winning almost every game, and might be going to state. Jake joined in, and I started to zone off after that. A while later I felt a hand on my knee, I looked up it was Nate.

"Hey, what are you thinkin' about?" I shrugged and stared at him, he looked so much like his brother. "Nothing." I sighed. The car halted to a stop suddenly and I looked out the window to see the school. We got out and began walking to the school, arm-and-arm with our dates. We weren't too early, but we weren't too late. I could already hear the blasting music from inside the gym, and the yelling of the overly-excited teens. We walked in and posed for a few more pictures, before making our way to where the actual prom was.

Just as we walked in a slow song started. Nate turned to me and grabbed my waist. I smiled and turned towards him wrapping my arms around his neck. We started swaying to the music, I stared into Nick's chocolate brown eyes as he stared into mine.

"You're so beautiful." He said barely louder than a whisper. I blushed and looked down before thanking him shyly. He pushed our bodies closer, wrapping his arms more around me. I felt my heart beat pick up as I noticed his face getting closer to mine. His head turned slightly and my breathing got heavier.

"Calm down, it's okay." He muttered and I felt his lips brush against mine. I leaned up a little, wanting more. Giving in, Nate pressed his lips to mine. I felt my eyes flutter close as I kissed back. The kiss was soft, but tender. A kiss I rarely felt. Joe's were always to urgent and rushed. I pushed that thought away, but who cares about Joe? Nate slowly pulled away, making me whimper softly.

He chuckled, "We're still at school remember, just wait till later." I gulped, later? What was Nate planning on doing, and where? I tried to stop thinking of that as the slow song stopped. We pulled apart as a more up- beat song started.

XXXXXXXXXXXX

Half way into the prom, I started to get a little tired, I'd been dancing the whole time and asked Nate if he could grab us some punch. I walked over to the bleachers and sat down watching as everyone danced.

"Havin' fun?" I heard a familiar voice ask and I looked to see, surprise, surpise, Joe. You know his random pop-ups were getting very annoying now. I rolled my eyes and looked away.

"What are you doing here?"

Joe faked a scoff and sat down, keeping a good distance between us. "What? I can't go to a prom? This is for everyone y'know."

"Well why are you talking to me? You better go away before you get us in trouble again." I said still ignoring looking at him. I started to wonder where Nate was.

"Once you put press charges up, I'll leave you alone for good."

"Maybe I will."

Joe sighed and I saw him turn his head to look at the crown of dancing teens. A few moments later he spoke up again "You look nice."

I laughed, thinking he was joking, I guess he wasn't. "I'm serious. So now I can't compliment you!" He said getting up, I turned to look at him and noticed his suite. I raised my eyebrows at him, and Joe blushed slightly.

"Wow, you dressed up."

"It's a prom."

"But no one went with you."

"So? Maybe I came with friends."

I laughed, "You don't have friends."

"Well, shut up!"

I turned to see Nate coming our way, I saw him notice Joe and his face turned stern. Joe looked at him and smiled. "Hey Bro."

Nate handed me my drink and turned to Joe. "What are you doing here? get away from my date. You have done enough!" I smiled to myself as I sipped my punch, get him Nate! I thought, entertained by this. Joe put his hands on his hips in a girly way and I tried not to giggle. He always had to be so dramatic.

"Hello Prom, and just like I was telling her before, no press charges, I can be here." I turned my head to look at Nate who shook his head. "Fine we're leaving then." Damn it, I wanted to see a real fight. Hit him Nate, hit him! Nate grabbed my hand and pulled me up. Joe looked at me disapprovingly and mouthed 'Wow, you like him?" I glared and rolled my eyes. Nate pulled me away and we started walking to the door. I had to run to catch up with him.

"Where are we going?" I asked. "Somewhere alone."

I looked back at Joe, but he was gone. Did I want to be alone with Nate? Maybe I didn't want to finish where we left off. I'd already made the mistake of having sex with his brothers, did I want to do it again? The questions swarmed in my head. We walked out of the building and proceeded towards Nate's limo. Wow how romantic.

He opened the door for me and I scooted in. Nate got in behind me and shut the door. He smiled at me and scooted closer to me on the seat. I felt the goose bumps rising on my arm. Nate placed a hand on my leg.

"Finally alone." I faked a smile and turned to look at him. He leaned in and placed his lips onto mine. The fear went away suddenly, in some way and reason. I wrapped my arms around his neck and felt one of Nate's hand slide onto my hip as the other moved onto my back. He deepened the kiss and I felt his tongue move out of his mouth and move across my lips. I opened my mouth slightly, letting his tongue. I felt it slide into my mouth and swipe across mine.

Suddenly Joe's face flashed into my mind. I pulled away immediately. Nate looked at me surprised. "Is everything okay? Are we going too fast?"

I shook my head, "No, No I- I just need some air. I'll be right back and we can pick up where we left off." I patted his chest and slide out the other door. I shut it and started walking, where? Well I didn't know but I didn't care. I found myself walking around the school towards the little field where you could eat when it was nice. I sat at a table, I put my arms on the table before placing my head on them. I just needed time to think, I'd go right back to Nate afterwards.

I heard footsteps behind me but didn't bother to look, I already had a feeling of who it was. They sat next to me and started tapping the table, but I kept my head down.

"Nate hurt ya, or something?" Joe asked, knew it. Why was he still here? I shook my head. "No, go away."

Joe didn't even move, he started to hum with the tune that was playing in the Gym. "Well, he's going to eventually. If you have sex with him... you'll regret it."

I clenched my teeth, and this was coming from Joe, so like him. I lifted my head up, "Yeah? Well I think Nate really cares about me, so he wont."

Joe nodded. "Did he tell you that? Yeah typical him. He makes you feel really important and stuff. Then once your in his car, that all goes away. He just wants your body."

I pushed my eyebrows together, getting ready to object. "Yeah well he didn't do that with me. In fact he asked if we were going too fast."

Joe smirked and looked ahead, starring at something, as he began to nod. "Okay, what ever you say. But this is coming from his brother. I know him, he will hurt you."

Joe stood up and started walking away. "Just remember to use protection, oh wait didn't you say you were on birth-control?"

The anger started to build up, I stood up quickly and Joe turned around to hear what I was going to say. I couldn't think of anything, maybe he was right? After a few moment of waiting Joe began to turn around. Then it hit me.

"What the difference Joe? You did the same, had sex and left me." I exclaimed, I watched Joe stop in his tracks. I waited for his reply patiently, hoping he wouldn't have one. He turned around.

"I meant it!"
