Miley POV

I guess Brandi was right all along this wasn't my home, because without him it was just a country thousands of miles away from my real home. It took me a while to realize it, but I had to return, back to my family taking Miah with me. I'd asked Liam's parents and his brother's Chris and Luke and they'd all accepted my decision.

"Mommy…big ted has to go" Miah stated holding the huge bear in her arms, she was my everything now. Miah's eyes were the same as her father's bright blue and with my chocolate wavy hair she looked like an angel.

Miah Ava Hamsworth pronounced Mia was born on September 28th 2011 a very healthy and happy baby. Liam and me were thrilled we finally had the perfect family and he loved her so much. I smiled at my daughter as she stood there holding the teddy, it was a huge and wasn't exactly suitable to take in luggage but I know how much it meant to Miah, after all it was her birthday present from Liam sent from Afghanistan especially for her. She understood daddy had gone to heaven and he wasn't coming back, but at times she still stood gazing at his car expecting him to jump out with an ice cream like he'd done so many times before.

"No Miah...big ted is going later, you can't take him with us baby." I stated frowning at her shaking my head while continuing to pack some more of my clothes "Why don't you take Elmo or Barbie?"

"No! I'm taking big ted!" She yelled at me, I gazed over seeing her angry looking face.

It was adorable when she was angry and I knew there was no way I was going to settle this easily with her.

"Fine…Miah fine," I stated giving in like I always did, "Just please go have your lunch for mommy" I pleaded and she considered it and then nodded walking off her flip-flops hitting the wooden floorboards as I let out a sigh.

It was the man in the green uniform that had changed my mind two weeks ago. I watched him from my bedroom as he walked up the blue stone drive gazing at the garden Liam had built for me. He hesitantly knocked on the front door and before I could get there Miah had opened it.

"Hello who are you?" Miah asked politely as I rushed down the staircase getting to the bottom hallway. I gazed at the tanned muscular man standing staring at my daughter as he leaned down her,

"I'm here to talk to your mommy, you must be Miah right?" He questioned,

I stood back for a moment, I knew his uniform I'd seen it frequently along with washed it a few hundred times.

"Yes, how do you know that?" Miah asked her little voice made him smile, like it did most people as I saw him gaze over at me leaning on a wooden post.

"Because I worked with your daddy, he was one of my mates" He stated, his Australian accent showing giving me a weak smile as I walked over to the front door gazing at him.

"I'm Miley," I whispered and offered my hand "you are…" He moved over and I gazed to see he had no hand, I instantly retracted my offer looking at him apologetic as he just smiled,

"I'm Dean, I worked with Liam over there in Afghanistan," He stated giving me a smile, "He talked about you a lot you too Miah" I nodded offering for him to come in as he gave me a smile but declined.

"I'm only here quickly thanks for the offer, Liam was my best mate over there and he told me if anything happened to him that I had to give you this and this message" Dean stated as I nodded grabbing Miah off the ground as we both looked at him.

"He said to tell you to move on, that you should go back home be with your family and friends in Hollywood," He stated as I nodded "He also said that he wanted you to go back to music, to your career"

I stared at him tears coming to my eyes, to think he'd told this guy about his wishes thinking he might die just hurt me.

"He wanted you to have this…" He stated and moved his hand over to mine as he dropped Liam's key necklace into it. I looked at it tracing my finger along the metal, we both had one and now I had two. Instantly I started crying and Dean's arms were around came around me hugging both of us.

"He loved you so much Miley, he didn't want you to lock yourself away from the world. He wanted you to continue on without him" He stated as I realized, he wanted me to go…so I would…I would leave here, leave all my memories behind.

So that's what I was doing unlocking the house I'd built around me and opening the door. I'd bought a house in Toluca Lake which was two streets away from my parents and in the same street as Demi and Joe. The one thing I hadn't done was tell all my family and friends, they had no idea that I'd sold the house here or that I had two plane tickets one way to L.A. It's the way I wanted it, I could settle into the busy L.A life before anyone even realized Miley was back in town.

"Knock Knock" I heard a voice say and turned around to see Chris Liam's older brother at the door giving me a grin as I swiped the hair from my face and he gazed around at all the boxes scattered around.

"Need some help?" He asked, Liam's whole family had been so good to me and after everything I was leaving, when I told them all my mother in law said was it was for the best, that being here would only keep hurting me more.

"Yeah actually, could you look after" I whispered and stopped, "His stuff" Chris gazed at me for a moment and walked over wrapping his arm around my shoulders giving them a squeeze.

"It's going to get better Miles promise…" He stated, and I just hoped it would soon because the pain in my heart I was feeling right now felt like it was never ending.

Noah POV

I sat on the middle of the Staples Centre's stage staring out to all the seats, in a couple of hours they would all be full of screaming Jonas brothers fans wanting anything to touch or be recognized by them. I tapped my fingers against the floor while I watched Kevin play a riff on the guitar, Joe adjusting his microphone stand and Nick sitting absently at the piano gazing directly at me. The instant our eyes caught I looked away knowing any second he'd be by my side asking the same repeated question everyone asked.

"Hey Noah, where's Frankie?" Joe stated, I gazed up at him as he sat down next to me while Nick was still watching intently,

"Over there" I smiled at Joe and laughed pointing over to Denise having a fight with my best friend.

"Right then, it's good to have you here Noah…haven't seen you in a while" Joe stated knowing he was trying to start a conversation up with me, to find out what he wanted to know about my sister.

"Yeah you've been pretty busy, thought I'd come tonight support you guys...you know" I stated as he laughed rolling his eyes gazing back over at Frankie raising his eyebrows.

"Yeah I'm sure you totally came to support us," He giggled, "More like you came to make out with my little brother" I instantly shook my head hitting him across the arm, Frankie and me weren't like that!

"No…no way, so why are you talking to me?" I asked seriously and instantly his smile fell and I rolled my eyes, how did I know? It was always about her at the moment.

"She's not answering our calls anymore either. Don't worry, Chris says she's doing better and Miah's good. Mom said she'll talk to us when she's ready and that isn't right now." I stated simply and he nodded,

I was lying to everyone, I knew exactly what was going on for the first time in my entire life Miley and me weren't fighting and genuinely getting along, she told me what was happening and what she was planning on doing,

"Does your mom think she's going to come back?" Nick suddenly asked sitting down next to me as well, okay this was starting to get imitating…if I stumbled on a word or did anything wrong they'd pick up on it.

"Mom she doesn't really know, it's Miley though...she's moody and very secretive…" I stated as Joe nodded and I turned to see Nick staring directly at me…

"Okay I better go sort out that situation…bye guys" I stated jumping up only for Nick to grab my arm and pull me back to the ground staring at my face again trying to read it.

"You know something…your lying to us," Nick stated, oh no...

I tried to pull my best-confused look and shook my head turning my expression into an insulted one,

"She doesn't want to talk to you okay. She just lost her husband, just leave it…" I stated jumping up and walking away.

I smiled seeing Demi and sadly Selena walking towards me, well at least I could fool them.

"Noah how you doing?" Demi said pulling me into a hug followed by an awkward smile exchange between me and Selena, "Good I guess," I stated indicating over to the fight occurring,

"Oh…has it got something to do with you being here or…not?" Selena asked harshly and I gave a laugh shaking my head, god I hated her so much.

"No, Denise found some magazines in his room…those graphic kind you know" I stated with a laugh, personally I found that hilarious as obviously Demi did as well giving a laugh while Selena stood emotionless.

"Boys, Boys, Boys…when will they learn how to hide stuff properly. You sitting with us tonight?" Demi asked and I gave them a smile and nodded, I liked coming to the guy's concerts.

"Hey, I was wondering if you were free next week Demi? Wednesday?" I asked her as Selena instantly walked off, I was doing exactly what I'd been instructed to do by my older sister,

"I have a photo shoot in the morning but it's like at 8am and I should be finished by 9…why? What do you need?" Demi asked as I saw her looking at me suspiciously and sighed.

"I can't tell you that but it's not me who needs your help. It's complicated and I'm not supposed to explain or anything…" I stated as Demi just stared at me confused.

"She's moving back here isn't she? That's why she's not talking to anyone…she's trying to get in before any of us notice what's going on" Nick suddenly stated behind me, I gave a pained expression. Why did Nick have to be able to work out every little aspect of my sisters life? It was like they had a thought connection no one could see,

"No…No…" I stated giving a laugh and turning around looking at the three guys "Okay maybe, but you can't tell anyone not even mom and dad know"

I watched the look of shock come over everyone's faces along with Selena who had obviously head, Miley was going to kill me.

"She bought a house and she's moving back permanently. She didn't tell me why she'd just decided all this but she's coming back and she needs help unpacking." I explained quickly, instantly Demi was nodding accepting my offer. Now I just had to ring Mandy and Taylor.

"You five can't tell anyone…promise me! She has changed so much and I don't know what she'll be like when she gets back…but she's coming and that's it" I stated as they all nodded, I gazed at all of them knowing most likely by the end of this week everyone would know.
