NOBODY'S HOME

Chapter 1: I couldn't tell you why she felt that way

I couldn't tell you

Why she felt that way,

She felt it everyday

NO ONE'S POV

Have you ever thought of running away? Would you be able to focus on what you're going to bring? Would you even be bothered to grab your money or your car keys? Or would you just leave it all behind and get away as fast as you can? Most of all, have you ever thought of the possibility of someone chasing you down because they were concerned for your safety?

Some of you might think that running away is a dumb move. You might have even promised to never run away no matter what happens in your life. You might have thought about what people are going to think, especially, the ones who know you and mean so much to you. But you would never understand unless you have gone through it. Some of you might understand what this means. Maybe you were one of those people who promised that he would never ever run away but in the end, you found yourself doing it just because everything was too much. The truth is, when you're caught in that moment, you wouldn't even bother to think of the promises you made, all you're going to think about is how on earth you're going to escape reality.

It was a very dark and cold night. Thunder and lightning stroke everywhere. Residents in Pennsylvania were warned to stay indoors due to the forceful thunderstorm, but a certain eighteen year old, named Miley Stewart, was crying and running in the rain. She had nowhere else to go. She wanted to find a place where she could sleep, but the weather had been harsh to her. She passed by a parking lot and tried to open the doors of some cars, but none opened up. She soon found a pick-up truck that didn't have a single load in the back. She was hesitant, but decided to climb in the back anyway. She hadn't found shelter, but she thought she could sleep there for the night even though she had to sleep under the rain. She lied down, curled into a ball, and hugged her knees. She wished her life ended right then and there; she wished for the lightning to strike her. Life had been rough for her, and it was very close to tearing her apart.

A grumpy Nick Grey walked out of the grocery store. The rain had stopped, but he was sure it will rain again in a few minutes. He ran towards his brother's pick-up truck, and he went inside. He volunteered to buy some bottles of beer for a beer night with his brothers. His car was kinda broken, so he took his brother's car out instead. He drove out of the parking lot and the rain went on again, but this time, it was heavier. He had to turn on his hazard lights and drive cautiously because of zero visibility. He soon decided that it would be safer to just go straight into his apartment instead of driving to Joe's, since his apartment was only a few blocks away. He soon arrived to his apartment and he parked the truck in his garage. He was on his way to walk inside the house when he heard the faint cry of a girl coming from the truck. He was a bit terrified by the sound, but as he walked closer to check the back of the truck, he found a girl soaked in rain and having chills because of the coldness. He immediately climbed up the truck and picked-up the girl in his arms. She was asleep, but was crying and shaking. He took her inside his house and he laid her down on his couch. He was caught in the moment and he was having mental block. He sat on the chair opposite the couch as he massaged his temples with his fingers, trying to bring his mind into a calmer and more sensible state. When he had finally figured out what to do, he got up and grabbed a blanket, a towel, and some of his small-sized clothes. He had slept with two of his former girlfriends already, so he had seen a lady's body before, but when he undressed this girl, it was hard for him to ignore her perfect body. The couch was wet already, so he had decided to bring her up to his room where he could let her stay for the night. He quickly wrapped her in a towel, and carried her to his room where he immediately put new clothes on her. When he was done, he wrapped a blanket around her shaking body, and laid her comfortably on the bed. He wanted to give her hot coffee or hot chocolate, but she was in deep sleep, so he just covered her with the blanket.

Nick sat there on the edge of his bed, looking over the girl worriedly. He actually recognized her; it was Miley, one of the sophomores in his high school when he was in senior year. She wasn't very popular, but she wasn't one of the losers either. He thought of her as the perfect image of a good student, so he never expected her to show up in his brother's pick-up truck in a very stormy night. He thought, maybe she was having some personal troubles, and he couldn't reject a person like her who needed some help.

A very sleepy Nick woke up at midnight because he swore he heard a faint cry. He moved in his position and it was then when he realized he wasn't lying on his bed. He opened his eyes, confused. He looked around his room and he spotted his bed; that was when he remembered what happened few hours ago. He got up to check on Miley. He saw her crying and having chills, and when he touched her forehead, she was burning hot. He was terrified at the moment, so he kinda panicked. After a few seconds, he got up and rushed to his medicine cabinet. He found some Tylenol, and he went to his kitchen to get a glass of water, so he could give her medicine. A few minutes later, he was seated on the edge of the bed as he wiped her skin with a warm and wet face towel. He was very concerned about her health that he wanted to take her to the hospital right at that moment. If it weren't for the stormy weather, he would have brought her to the hospital when he first saw her. After approximately thirty minutes, his anxiousness somehow decreased when he saw that her chills had subsided and her temperature went down a bit. But, he was still worried, so he lay down beside her so he could check on her every now and then. Little did he know that this was the start of something he couldn't get away from.

AN: So here's the new story! Sorry if it took me a few weeks before I was able to post it. I was on vacation and I just got home two days ago. xD

I hope you all liked this first chapter. Please send in your reviews and tell me what you think of this first chapter. =) THANK YOU!

I just want to grab this opportunity to THANK my readers for supporting my previous fanfic, QUE SERA. =) That story was really close to my heart. I was having a tough time when I was writing that. It somehow showed the struggles I have experienced in the past few months. Not exactly the same with the story, but my experiences and thoughts were my inspiration for Que sera. You see, all of my fan fictions are products of my creative imagination, but Que Sera was a mix of experience and imagination. =) So thank you for reading it. I really appreciate your reviews. I love you guys.
