He walked upstairs. He knocked on miley's door "miles, can I come in?" she heard him but didn't answer. She turned around so her back was facing the door.
He opened the door and walked slowly inside, closing the door after him. He sat down at the end of the bed. "im sorry miles, it wasn't how I meant it. It's not like I don't want to" she laid down on her back looking up at the sealing. He figured she deserved a explanation, he took a deep breath
"when I ended it" he started "we had almost just figured out that we were related. I didn't know what to do, I guess I was a little grossed out at first and then shocked. I was dating a thirteen year old girl. Thirteen.. that's a little girl who doesn't know what's right and wrong. And what we did was wrong, but you were too young to understand it. And I was old enough to know better but I just ignored it. I cared for you too much, and they say love make you blind." He said.
She looked at him shocked. "You loved me?" he looked down for a sec then back up on her. " I didn't know the meaning of that word then" he told her, she looked away." Another reason was that I was so afraid that I was going to be caught having sex with a minor. I would end up in jail. And I thought of you too, I wanted you to know how it was to be thirteen again, because you weren't fully yourself when you were with me. I just wanted you to be you and not to be tied down. I wanted you to hang out with guys at your age. And for myself, well I wanted to see the difference from you to someone at my own age. I know I was selfish, but I was afraid. Every time we fought I was afraid you wound run and say something you shouldn't." he said honestly.
She looked at him. "thanks for telling me the truth Joe" she said "thank you"
He laid down beside her. She snuggled up to him, resting her head on his chest. "so what do we do now?" she asked him. "Honestly, I don't know miles" she looked up at him.
"when you ended it I was so out of it, my parents didn't know what to do cause they didn't know what was wrong. I wouldn't tell them anything. And then I started to hang out more and more with Liam. He was your age. And the little girl I was I thought that It would be the same as it was with you. I was wrong. We fought all the time. He bossed me around the first year until I dared to talk back. We had one of those on and off relationships. We were up and down all the time. But I didn't want to end it, I was waiting for it to become like what we had, I wanted it to be so bad. But it never happened. He could be so sweet in one second and a completely ass in the next. He could give me flowers for no reason, ring on my door late at night just for a kiss and things like that. But on the other hand" she trailed of. She wasn't sure if she should tell Joe this. She hadn't told anyone. He looked at her waiting for her to continue. "on the other hand" she started again looking down.
"Miley, what did he do?" he was concerned; he knew this wasn't something good. "Miles?" He pulled her closer, wrapping his arms around her.
"he could yell and scream at me for no reason. He threatened me and said things like 'you deserve a punch in the face'" she felt Joe tense up "relax he never did it, it was all just threats, but I was scared as hell. Sometimes Zac had to come and pick me up; I never told him the real reason tho. I always said that we had a fight. I didn't even tell Demi" she wiped away a tear.
He kissed the top of her head. ."I realized these past days how much I've missed you and missed what we had, I am lucky that I can say that we had something really special. And there isn't a lot of people who can say that. We were both young but what we had was something I cant put into words " she smiled. And looked him deep in the eyes.
He looked back and thought. Im already going to hell, so why not. He leaned in and kissed her softly.
She pulled away. "I need to know where this leaves us Joe. What are you thinking?" she said looking up at him. " I am thinking that im already going to hell for having sex with you when you were thirteen and my cousin. So why not break all the rules? I've tried to be without you and it's always end up the same. It goes to hell. I try to compare them with you but they aren't even close," he said smiling.
