Demi's pov

"Is the corner okay for you?" Miley asked me as we got our drinks from Coffee Bean.

"Yeah, that's fine," I said taking a seat.

"So what's new in your world?" Miley asked biting into a strawberry.

"So, you know some ol' same old- staying sober, writing music, trying to stay in recovery and be healthy

"So, you know some ol' same old- staying sober, writing music, trying to stay in recovery and be healthy. I met this guy Max at the gym you know how I box and stuff. Uh, he's kind of a fan but not like weird about it. I accidentally punched him in the face," I said raising an eyebrow as I told the story. "Anyways, I know you don't read tabloids but I'm sure you know I kind of was back with Joe for a second, not sure what was going on with that," I said slipping that in there.

I knew Miley would have an opinion on that. It's not that Miley hated Joe, in fact she loved Joe like a brother. She would just be disappointed in me for sleeping with him knowing he was married because he know that wasn't who I was or what I was about- nor was he.

"But back to Max, he invited me to his apartment to box and like he's cool but I think something happened when he tried to kiss me and I just like couldn't. I don't know, it was so weird," I told her.

I bit my lip as I sipped my coffee. She brought up a great point.

"Do I need to remind you kindly of what happened when you got so upset about you and Joe breaking up one of a million times and then you were one of a million girls who had been victimized by predator ass John Mayer and you had to fuck my b-b-.. I cant even say it," she stopped her self pretending to make puke noises but I knew she was referring to her brother Trace and the one night fling I had with him in 2009.

"Okay, I get it Miley," I said. "You make a very valid point. I need to focus on myself," I said.

She wasn't wrong. Besides Joe and our unhealthy thirteen year on again, off again, secretive then public then secret again relationship which was really hard I had always ran to different little flings between because I had never been content by myself or in my loneliness and rant was something I struggled with.
