Chapter 1
Man's POV
"Sir what happened here?" The Police Officer asks as they whisk the women away by ambulance.
"Officer, I was texting and driving and I found myself in the wrong lane. Is the women ok?"I ask.
"We're not sure but a of right now I'm taking your license for wreakless driving for at least 6 months." The officer says.
I know I deserve it. I hurt that women and she could die because of me. I will never text and drive again.
Demi's POV
I get Jema and Niles to bed and I hear the phone ring.
"Hello." I say into the phone.
"Is the husband of Mrs. Jonas available." The person asks.
"No, He's out of the country right now. I'm the closest thing to her husband right now." I state.
"Well you might wan to get to the hospital as soon as possible. was in a car accident." The nurse says as she hangs up.
I dial Denise's phone number.
"Denise can you come over right now. I have to be somewhere right now." I say.
About 5 minutes later Denise comes in and Kevin comes in the driveway to drive me to the hospital.
"Denise the bottles are in the fridge!" I yell as I roll down my window and we drive off.
Kevin's POV
"Oh my god! Nick is going to kill me!" i say as I try to concentrate on driving.
We get to the hospital and we sit in the emergency room for hours. After 3 hours or so a doctor comes over to us.
"Are you here for Miley Cyrus?" He asks.
"No, we're here for Miley Cyrus-Jonas." I state.
"Alright, come with me. Now this will be a bit shocking at first." He says before he opens the door.
The door opens and we see Miley hooked up to a bunch of wires and machines.
"Is she...dead?" I asks as tears fall.
"No. She is near brain dead but not dead. Her head was badly injured from the force of the other car." The doctor says.
"Oh my god Demi! Nick is going to shoot me." I tell Demi as we both hug each other.
"No Kev, it's not your fault and you'll be second. He'll kill the other driver first so you'll have a chance to run." Demi says trying to lighten the mood.
"Des is going to be devastated she already had Nick gone and now Miley too. How are we going to cover this up from her?" Demi asks.
"I have no clue. I'll call Dad to bring Moms a bag of clothes. She'll be at the house at least until Nick and Joe get home." I say as I dial up my Dad number.
The day before Nick and Joe get home Demi and I go to see Miley everyday and her eyes are still shut and she's still on all the machines. I see a strange man in the room.
"Who are you?" I ask him.
"I'm the other driver. I decided to visit her so I can apologize." He says.
"You might want to get out of town soon. Her husband is home tomorrow and he will be wicked pissed when he finds out." I say.
"Could you please leave? We want to be alone with her." Demi says to the man.
He leaves right away respecting our privacy.
"Miles, if you can hear me and your are awake and just having your eyes shut, please open them or move something." I say.
Her eyes remain shut.
"Kevin, I'm scared. If she is...dead Nick is going to be pissed and upset. He's not going to be able to look after his son or his daughter until Miley wakes up." Demi says.
"Yeah, tomorrow will be interesting at best. I mean I'm happy to see my brothers again but I'm not happy to have to force them right into a stressful situation. Demi, can you leave me alone with her for a few minutes. I need a minute alone with my sister in law." I say as Demi leave to get something to eat.
"Miley, I love you . You need to wake up. Tomorrow Nick is coming home. Don't give up. You have a son and a daughter who rely on their Mom not just their Grandma and Auntie Demi and Uncle Kevin. I know you must be weak and tired but you can't give up on us." I tell her.
Demi comes back in with something for me to eat.
The next day at the Airport
Demi's POV
We are all seated by the gate aside from Miley of chorus. The babies are in their strollers and Destiny playing a video game. We hear the door open and we see lots of other soldiers get off and finally we see Nick and Joey. I rush to Joe and I hug him so tight.
"Daddy!" Destiny yells as Nick hugs his daughter and picks her up and twirls her and puts her down.
Nick then goes over to the stroller and see his little baby boy staring is his eyes smiling. Joe takes my hand and I show him to his daughter. I see Joe smile so wide. Nick starts to question things.
"Where is Miley? And why is she not here?" Nick questions staring at Kevin with an evil face.
Oh our plan of distraction worked for a total of about 3 minutes...not bad.
"She's away for work Daddy!" Destiny says.
"Wait Miley got a job?" Nick questions.
"Nick we'll explain when we get home and when you get cleaned up." I state.
Jema, Joe and I get in one car and Kevin, Nick, Destiny and Niles in the other. Joe gets in the drivers side but he opens my door first and puts our daughter in her car seat. Miley and I got lucky and we got gentlemen.
"Dem, what's up with Miley?" Joe asks.
"Well Miley got in a car accident and she's been in the hospital ever since. The accident was a week ago." I explain.
"Oh God, Nick is going to kill something or someone, hopefully not Kevin." Joe says.
I smell a rather bad smell and it's not Jema's diaper, it's Joe's uniform.
"Joey, I hate to be rude but you smell really bad." I say with a giggle.
"Yeah, but you so love it." He says giggling.
"Uhhh not really. When was your last shower?" I ask him.
"If I told you, you would be grossed out." He says.
We get to Nick's house and Joe immediately goes to the bathroom where a tanktop, shorts and some clean boxers were waiting for him and shampoo and lots of soap. Nick comes in the door and grabs the same general stuff and goes into the other bathroom for a shower. After about a half an hour, the 2 soldiers come downstairs clean and smelling good but they look tired and pale. Nick takes Niles from Kevin and starts to rock him.
"Daddy, can I go to Christina's for a bit? It's across the street." Destiny asks.
"Maybe soon, not today Des. Can you go to your room to play for a little bit the grown ups need to talk." Nick says sounding exhausted and weak.
Destiny nods and heads up to her room.
"Now, where is Miley?" Nick asks.
"Nick, where is your gun?" Kevin asks.
"They are in the locked up cupboard along side of our other weapons." Joe says sounding absolutely beat and dead tired like he hasn't slept in months.
"You may want to shoot me when I say she's in the hospital." Kevin says while gulping.
Nick's face turns bright red out of anger.
"What did you say?" He snaps and then turns right pale again.
"Is she Ok? What happened to her?" He worries.
"She got in a car accident with a guy who was texting and driving. Nick I'm sorry." Kevin says.
"I want to go see her." Nick says as he grabs his keys.
"No Nick, you're not driving. You are so weak and tired and you could cause a major accident. I felt bad even asking Joe to drive us home. Kevin, you should drive him." I state.
"May I come to?" Joe asks.
"She is your sister in law. Come on, let's go." Kevin says as the 3 brothers leave.
Nick's POV
I don't know if I'll be able to bear to see Miley. Tears start to form as we get to the hospital parking lot. Joe gives me a hug.
"We'll be here for you the whole time. Just like when I was there for you while we were in Afghanistan." Joe says as we go into the hospital.
Kevin shows us to her room without even asking anyone.
"Hello . Ahhh are these some of her friends?" The doctor asks.
"No this is her husband and our brother." Kevin says.
"Oh The husband may I speak with you in private for a moment?" He asks me.
"Whatever you say to me they will know about after you tell me anyway." I tell him.
"I have to. It's patient/family confidentiality. Follow me please." He says as he leads me into a room.
"Doctor, what is going on with my wife?" I ask him.
