Chapter Thirty

Miley's POV

"Nick," Miley sighed laying back on her bed with her cell phone pressed to her ear, "I really don't know where we stand right now. I don't know anything except...that I miss you. I'm sorry I'm such a temperamental jealous idiot. It's not that I don't trust you. I do. It's just that... the world is full of heartbreak. No one ever stays with anyone. I'm just so scared that you'll leave me." She could feel the tears coming to her eyes. "Please don't leave me."

"Miley."

She screamed as her gaze snapped to the door of her bedroom to her intruder then she took she a deep breath relaxing and talked back into the phone. "So um, anyways ignore the scream... and this message because you're here. Bye." She hurriedly hung up the phone and stood up. "Nick. How long have you been standing there?"

"Sit down, Miles." He said coming closer.

She slowly sat down, unsure.

He sat down beside her and Miley's heart soared when he took her hand in his and intertwined their fingers. "Miley... I heard everything." She nodded understanding. "Listen to me. I am not your father. I won't leave you. You don't have to be afraid of that. I don't want you to constantly just be waiting for that to happen. You can't live your life like that. You don't think that I fear that too? You have just as much right to walk away as I do. I have just as many girls in my life as you have guys in yours. But I believe in us. In our love. In the way that we feel about each other. Sure. We're young. We have a lot more years to get jealous and fight and maybe test our relationship so much but as long as we're still fighting, it shows we still care. I'll never stop, okay?"

Miley wiped the tears that his words procured. "Just because people love you doesn't mean they won't leave."

"I won't leave. As long as you love me and trust me, Mi, I'll be right here. I swear it. Now stand up and go wash your face because we're going out." Nick helped Miley stand up.

"We are?"

"Yes." He said guiding her to the bathroom. "Theres a friend of ours that's been avoiding us."

"Oh. That's right. Are we going to her house?"

"Not exactly."


"Ha. Demi's here?" Miley shook her head in disbelief. "You must be mistaken."

Nick shook his head and rung Joe's doorbell. "What's so unbelievable about this? She's still in love with him, right?"

"You don't think they're-" Miley was cut off as the door opened before them to a smiling Joe.

"Hey guys."

"It's possible." Nick said to answer Miley's unasked question.

"What's possible?"

"Joe?" Miley asked. "Can I talk to Demi right now?" She ended the question with her words clipped which concluded she obviously meant business.

Joe stepped back for them to enter. "She's in the living room."

Miley went that way and Nick followed her. They found Demi laying on the couch in Joe's pajamas watching Spongebob.

"I think she's starting to become Joe." Nick commented.

Miley almost covered her ears from the words then Demi looked up at them and smiled. "Miley!" She got up and came around the couch holding her arms out as she embraced Miley. She looked over Miley's shoulder at both the guys. "Nick, it's nice to see you again but do you guys think Miley and I could have a minute?"

"Of course. Nice to see you Demi. You look amazing." Nick followed Joe out of the living room.

Miley pulled back from Demi and looked at her appearance once again. "So we're back to Demi and Joe, huh?"

"I know what you're thinking MOM but the doctor said that if I took my pills on schedule that I could have as normal a life as anybody else's. Don't worry. I'm being careful. My emotions aren't getting overwrought. I'm fine." Demi smiled over at Miley. "And Joe and I are just friends."

"Tell me the truth. Do you still have feelings for him?"

Demi silently nodded.

Miley grabbed her hands and sighed. "I want to do what's best for you, Demi but I can't protect you all the time. Just tell me what you want me to do."

Demi looked down at the floor as Miley's grip on her hands tightened. "Just be there, MC."

"Okay. Nick and I will see you later. Call me if you need anything." Miley grinned over at her. "And I mean ANYTHING. If you kill Joe and need help disposing of the body I'm here like that." Miley snapped her fingers playfully as Demi giggled.

"Sure thing babe."

"Nick." Miley called raising her voice a tad. "I'm ready to go."


Selena's POV

"She what?" Selena couldn't believe what Miley was telling her. Demi and Joe. Reunited. Just great. "They're having a freaking sleepover? So everything is peachy in Jemiland?" David put his hands on her shoulders to calm her which ultimately did and she sighed. "Fine. Whatever. It is her life." There was a pause before Selena spoke again. "No. You're right. I wouldn't just give up on the person I love." She smiled up at David as Miley spoke in her ear. "Okay. Bye Milez." She hung up the phone and turned into David's arms. "True love prevails again babe."

He leans down and kisses her nose making Selena smile once again. "As it always should."

"If this relationship is what Demi wants then I'll fight tooth and nail for it. So the media better watch out because I made the mistake of not being there for her the first time. I'm going to be there for her this time." Selena looked up at David. "And since Wizards is over, are you going to be there for me?"

David's smile faded. "Of course. We'll just have to... plan some things."

"My mom said I could take a little break so I can be free whenever you want me to be cause I know... you still have to work." She grabbed his hand and lead him over to her dressing room couch. She pushed him to sit down and then plopped herself on his lap. "But that's not starting right now so... you can be here for me for now." Even though Selena put on a wide grin on the outside, she was anything but grinning on the inside.


Taylor's POV

Taylor swung her blonde curls to the side as she straddled her boyfriend's hips on the bed. "Apparently we are the sanest couple ever."

He promptly flipped her over and placed his hands on either side of her face. "I'm not too heavy, am I?"

"Not at all." She smiled and lifted her hand up to cup his cheek, biting her lip. "What do you want to do right now?"

He smirked and leaned down pressing his lips against hers and trailing his hands gently up her bare side making her inhale. "I'll think of something."


This is super late but I will start writing it again with even longer chapters. Some personal things were going on with me in my family. But I will continue to write this story because I love it and I love writing it. I think I'm going to bring more Jemi drama into it. -Carrie
