Author's Note: Whoa, thank you for favoriting me and alerting me and reviewing me. I had amazing week in Egypt and I wrote a lot there, so now I just need to get it on computer and yeah.
And then I was supposed to update the day before yesterday but got called back to work at 9 pm :( and yesterday I just felt way too tired to write anything.
"You're awfully quiet today, is everything alright?" Joe asked as Miley kept ignoring him as they drove to his place after school.
"I'm fine Joe, just have a lot on my mind is all." She said and played with her hands. She was going trough hundreds of different scenarios in her head, about how her talk with Nick would go.
"Anything you would like to talk about?" He tried to break trough the walls she was building around herself. It was killing him that there was something she wasn't telling him, and there was nothing for him to do. Just to suffer silently.
"No, not really." She answered. It was hopeless for her to try be friendly with Joe, for her thoughts were on Nick and on Nick only. She was going trough their conversation in her head over and over again. She wasn't really concerned that she wouldn't know what to say, but rather concerned about what he was going to say. Whatever could he say that would change anything? In Miley's head, there weren't anything that could make anything better.
The Driveway
Miley laid on Joe's bed and read trough a magazine while he was playing playstation on the floor. His mother had just walked in to the door and let them know that Alex would be over for dinner as well. Miley and Joe exchanged awkward gaze as they both knew that it wouldn't get any more awkward for anyone than that. Nick's new girlfriend there with his family and his ex girlfriend too, who was as good as a daughter to Mrs Jonas.
The whole time they had been hanging in Joe's room, Miley had tried to make an excuse to leave to room so she could go talk with Nick. She paced around the room trying to come up with a good enough of reason. In the end she just simply told Joe that she had to take care of one thing and gave him a meaningful look, so that he knew it had something to do with Nick. He just nodded and kept playing.
Miley jumped out of his bed and made her way to the corridor that lead to Nick's room. Before knocking on the door or just going in he pressed her ear in to the door to hear if he already got company there.
"Whoa if I didn't know better, I'd say you are stalking me." She heard Nick's voice from behind her and she felt the redness appearing to her cheeks, while Nick awkwardly chuckeled next to her and opened the door, letting her walk in.
"So.." He started after a few minutes on silence as the teenagers were trying to come up with the best starting line they could, but their minds were empty, none of the words they came up with seemed to be the right ones. Miley was sitting on his bed, while Nick sat on a chair. It was the first time they were just the two of them, after the previous spring and the tension was rising in the room. Somehow Miley had thought that they talking would be her shouting at him for beign a jackass, but now she couldn't get the words out of her mouth. She forgot all the words of hate and dislike and there was only questions in her mind, questions that needed answers.
"Why, just tell me why?" She asked quietly. Nick just shook his head, not believing she was acting all innocent. "What did I do? Was I not enough for you?"
"Miley you know very well why I did what I did, don't try to blame it on me and act like I'm the bad guy here." He said and he glared at Miley.
"No Nick, I really don't know! Please tell me, because I have no idea!" She cried out, she was so frustrated with him. If he knew something she didn't, why not just tell her. He always kept things too much to himself, never opening up to anyone, except Miley. She never thought she would be the one trying to get him talk to her.
"Cut the act, you seem like the victim when in the first place it was you who betrayed me. You freaking betrayed me, after all the fucking time!" He shouted and looked at her with hurt in his eyes. It wasn't his usual gaze, Miley could see in his eyes who he was broken somehow. Something was definitely wrong with him, he wasn't the same guy she had been with for years.
But she couldn't help herself, even when she noticed the actual hurt in him, his accusations were so childish and stupid that she couldn't keep herself from laughing. "Exactly how, did I betray you?"
"Miley don't try to act like you didn't cheat on me.."
"Wh-what?" She asked, not understanding him.
"I saw you, with Joe. He's my brother, who cheats on one with his own brother?" He shouted at Miley who still looked shocked as ever. She was quite sure she never did such thing. But the way he spoke to Miley, the way he looked at her. It was like she was the most dirtiest creature on the whole planet.
"What are you talking about Nick?" She asked, but knew very well what he was talking about. She never did cheat on him, but she did think about it. About Joe. It was something about your first crush you just needed to find out. His the one person who's always going to stuck in the back of your mind, screaming "you don't know what you missed". No matter how much in love you are, you always wonder "what if?" And spending all that time with Joe made her think about what it would be like to be with him, instead of Nick. Especially when at that point she and Nick fought so much. But she never did anything, she did the opposite. She ran away from the town to get away from the feelings she had towards Joe, because she knew what she and Nick had was so special. She was certain that Nick was her fairytale Prince Charming, the one she could have the amazing love story with, all she wanted was to save that.
"You know what Miley, it doesn't even matter. I'm with Alex now, and all this is just past." He said and looked away from her, getting up to open the door for her to leave. "All I want from you anymore, is our friendship back." He said and played with his hands.
"Is that right? I'm just your past, I'm just a friend now? You don't miss the feeling that you get when you hold me close to you? When you hold my hand? You don't miss the sparkles and the butterflies? You don't miss the kisses and your heart beat skipping, your breath getting caught on your throat? I doubt you could feel all that with Alex, I just don't believe it." She said stubbornly. She got up and walked next to him, she got up on her toes and whispered to his ear. "Do you remember what it feel like? Because I surely haven't forgotten" he felt her breathing against his skin, it was making him lose control of himself. He tried to concentrate only to keep his hands off of her. And to make it even harder for him, she pressed his hand lightly against his chest, running it up to his neck. He wanted to feel her lips against his, he needed to. It had been too long, too many long days, weeks, even months from the time he had kissed her for the last time.
He grabbed her hips, pulling her closer to himself. He ran his hand to her neck, he saw her panting, wanting and waiting for him to kiss her.
He made her crazy with anticipation, his lips almost touching her skin. "Oh I remember." He said while pressing his lips harshly against hers. It wasn't beautiful or romantic. It was rough and dirty. Their hands wandered around each others bodies, remembering every part of each other. The passion between the two made them forget about everything else, they didn't realize how much time was passing by. It wasn't until his mother knocked on the door that the two of them realized that they lost track of time. Quickly they moved away from each other and Nick shouted to his mom that he would be downstairs in a minute. His eyes never looked away from Miley, who had a coy smile on her face.
"What?" He asked, trying to understand what just had happened and why Miley was smiling like she did.
"Well, at least now you know. Every time you kiss her, you'll remember how different it is from our kisses, every time you will remember me and see my face. I hope you know, that you've lost something so special, and that it was only you and your stupid believes of me cheating on you, that made you fool enough to me never want to be with you again." She said or rather shouted. She ran out of the room and back to Joe's jumping on his bed.
"So?" Joe looked at Miley.
"I'm done, done with him. I just want to move on." She hid her face to his pillow and a smile came to his face. He would finally have his change and this time he wouldn't ruin it, he would make everything from it. He would make her see what he really felt for her.
