Last chapter there were no flashbacks on purpose. And this chapter is why..the point of this chapter is their favorite memories of each other. Don't think this is like a filler, it honestly was written to show who they are and what the past is. I want to really show what their favorite memory would be. Also a warning..the next chapter i post which will be mostlikely on saturday will be mature! so if that is something you dont want to read the end should be something to skip.
Flashback:
"Umm, hi. That was a great show." A shaky, but very distinct sounding voice rung out from behind me, as I wrapped up some chords to be packed away, looking over to see my brothers stop working and turn to greet the voice, I slowly follow their lead. A smile I can't seem to control spread across my face, as I saw the girl brave enough to stick around and talk, she was really something. Beautiful in a million ways
"Thanks. It was def, one of our best shows so far. I'm Kevin by the way." Kevin took the lead as always, and introduced himself first, sticking his hand out to be shook.
After a briefly awkward silence, the mystery girl spoke up again. "Glad I got to see one of the best. Although I'm sure they are all fantastic. I'm Miley by the way." She shook her long brown wavy locks, as she spoke, obviously nervous, although I couldn't tell you why.
"Well it is nice to meet you Miley. These are my younger brothers, Joe" Kevin, pointed towards Joe who stood a few feet away rocking back and forth from foot to foot, to an outsider he must look as if he was on about seven red bull, honestly he was just being Joe. "And nick," I heard my name, breaking my thoughts about how Joe looks to others, and managed a small wave.
"Darn" I muttered, to myself as I lowered my hand. Why did I have to ruin my chance at a good first impression? I must look like such a complete freak, to this girl. Miley.
"Great to meet all three of you, so where are you from?" She asked, and a slight southern accent came through her words, nothing was ever more charming or adorable in my life. Suddenly she bent down and picked up the long extension cord her left foot had been resting on and began to wrap it around her arm, helping up clean the 'stage' area.
"A small town in New Jersey, being out here on the west coast is a lot different." Joe answered before running behind Kevin, who was in the middle of putting away a mike stand but in all honestly shouldn't have been as caught off guard as he was, and jumping on his back screaming "AHHH HELP ME KEVIN I'M BEING ATTACKED BY SUFFER DUDES WITH CRAZY TAN BODIES AND BLEACH BLOND HAIR!!!!!" the two quickly fell the two ground as Joe's weight proved too much for Kevin, who is barely larger than Joe despite the three year age difference. Jeeze, my brothers. This girl, I mean Miley, must think we are the stupidest most insane people ever, she will probably never want to go to New Jersey in her life now.
My ears, rung as her laughter filled the air, clearly amused as hell at my embarrassing brothers, who were now wrestling each other in the middle of the mall. I started to laugh, at the faces of passersby, clearly not wanting to get to close incase my brothers insanity was air born.
Her laughter filled voice, whispered a question to me, "Is he always like this?"
Slightly turning my head, enough to glimpse the large and shinning smile on her face I responded, "Always." Knowing, that behind my laughter, truth stung, her expressions of shock and yet not too much surprise let me know she knew I was serious. "So what about yourself, are you one of these crazy California people?" I whispered back, my heart racing, as I waited for her response.
"Nope, I'm a southern girl, Tennessee to be exact. Live on a big farm…. I love it." She looked away from my flailing brothers to me, as she spoke, her words having even more a southern accent. It was so adorable, that combined with the fact she started to ramble for a second before catching herself…
"Ah, I thought so from the accent, but you never know. Especially with all of the crazy people around here you know?" I let out a short laugh, unsure if it was from, my answer, my brothers, or my nerves.
She just smiled back at me; I realized I didn't want her to stop. "Hey," she spoke in a quieter tone, "I think you and I could easily beat your brothers at their own game."
I raised my eyebrow towards her, hoping it came off slightly flirty. She couldn't be serious; surely she could see my size compared to theirs. "There is no way you can be serious, besides I know from experience I can't beat those two."
She moved inches from my body; everything was on high alert. Never had a girl done this to me before. "Well you never had me on your team before, and trust me I'm going to make a big difference." She whispered in my ear, it felt like every part of my body was on fire just from the feeling of her hot breath on my neck.
"Oh yea? And why is that?" I whispered back, clearly curious. There was something about this girl; I've never felt this way before, her smile, her laughter. I think I may seriously be falling for a girl I just met.
Breaking me from my day dreams of Miley, I felt her whisper in my ear "Because I'm your lucky charm! Now come on do you want to kick some Jonas butt or what?"
Before I could respond, she grabbed my upper arm and pulled me into the war between my brothers. And while my body was amidst a war, my mind kept trying to figure out if she felt the burning heat of our skin to skin contact.

Flashback:
Wow, you guys. We are on a vacation, a short one but vacation. And together, the last time things were this perfect, we had found that house right down the street from you Miles. Now we are on vacation all together. Vacation..." Kevin spoke from the large blanket spread on the soft green grass of the lower fields of the large backyard located on the property of the rented house our families shared for the weekend.
"I know, and that they rented this house together up here outside Toronto, away from all the drama of Hollywood." Nick sighed next to me, his chest resting beneath my head.
Somehow a part of my body was resting on each of the boys, I call family. My head on Nick's chest, my right hand cupped with Joe's and my legs gently across Kevin's ankles. It was an awkward position I'm sure, but it was comforting, to be with my boys. It must have been two a.m. by the darkness in the air, the crystal clear sky and the dew slowly creeping across our bodies. Everyone else had gone to sleep hours ago, allowing us to go out here alone and be.
"I love how quiet it is out here." Joe whispered, as if he was afraid the volume of his whole voice would break something.
Slowly Nick began to run his fingers through my hair, as he pondered everything about the night. "Out here, it feels like everything is simple you know?"
His words having so many different meanings, to Kevin it sounded as if he was referring to their ever growing hectic schedule. While Joe thought he was speaking of all of the change in their lives, the interviews, the lack of privacy, the sudden influx of money none of them knew how to handle or react to. I took it as a reference to us, the constant pressure to define who we were, and what we were doing. While all we wanted was just to be at peace, with each other, it's when we are our happiest, when things are the easiest.
In one simple moment, all three of us responded with a quiet sigh, and a barely audible "yea…"
My eyes started to weigh down, as around me I noticed the even breathing of three boys, with over scheduled lives, loving parents, obsessive fans, industry pressures, hearts of gold, worries over who to trust and one who held my heart for eternity.
Suddenly a soft kiss was planted on my forehead, as the soft words "simple, we are just us" brushed across my ear, from an almost sleeping Nick. As I squeezed Joe's hand tighter, I pulled Nick's arm across my body, realizing how much more I love moments like this: when things are simple, no pressure, no nonsense, just the real Miley and Nick.
