Chapter 2

Nick POV

I'd killed my mom.

She died when I was born, so technically I'd killed her. Dad died when I was fifteen and my eldest brother…well he was someone we didn't speak about anymore. It was just me and my brother Joe, living in a cramped L.A apartment trying to make a life out of very little. I tried to not dwell on how we'd gone from being a pretty perfect family to not even a family at all, there was only the two of us now and we looked after each other no matter what.

"So was she hot?" Joe asked smirking,

"Hell yeah, but she sounds like a total bimbo." I stated pulling on my jacket.

"Who cares, Taylor Stewart is one of the hottest chicks in the world right now! I would totally do her in a second, if she asked." Joe stated as he pulled on his own jacket, "Tell me if you see her in a bikini…"

"I will," I responded rolling my eyes.

"Have a good day Nick, I'll see you tonight when I finish making hamburgers." Joe muttered, he hated his job and was super jealous that I now had an awesome one.

"If she's in her bikini, I'll take a picture…"

"That would make my year." Joe stated as we walked out the front door,

I turned left while he turned right to get in his car, I didn't have a car and seeing as Joe was driving the opposite direction to where I was going I had to catch the bus. I sighed thinking back to yesterday at the Stewart house, I was interested to see who would be showing me the pool today…I really wanted to find out who "brat" referred too. I got on the bus and took my normal seat alongside the window gazing out at the busy L.A streets.

It took exactly twenty-two minutes, fifteen seconds and four screaming babies to get to my destination where I jumped off. I began to set off on my short walk contemplating how well this job was going to fit in with my college classes. Joe hadn't gotten to go to college, but he was helping me…I wanted to be a music producer and so far everything was running smoothly.

"No they left like twenty minutes ago, supposedly they are coming back though." One of the photographers stated on the phone as I gazed at the paparazzi hanging around outside the house.

I headed for the gate as the paparazzi hung back, they didn't know me.

"Boy what you playing at? You really think they'll let you in there?" One of the paparazzi asked me, I ignored him and looked at the gates…

I then spotted the buzzer, hopefully they would let me in.

I pressed it and waited patiently,

"Hello…"

"Hi, I'm Nick."

"Nick who?"

"The pool cleaner…"

"I forgot you were coming, crap sorry."

The gates buzzed open and I couldn't help but turn and smirk at the paparazzi as I slipped in. I walked along the driveway quickly, noticing none of the cars I'd seen yesterday were here only one black prius. I went to knock on the door as it opened and I got a smile from…

"Hi I'm Miley,"

I stared at her in a bit of a daze, okay why hadn't I noticed yesterday she was hot? The media always complained about Miley and her fashion, but she looked drop dead gorgeous and so real at the same time. Her hair was in its normal waves over a purple dress, which was tight hugging all her perfect curves. She must have realized I was staring and blushed giving an awkward laugh…

"So…"

I finally composed myself and offered my hand, she looked at it confused as I went to retract it only for her to put out her hand as well.

"Okay then you are into handshakes…"

"I'm Nick." I finally managed out as she just laughed.

"Yeah I know, come in. I saw you yesterday and asked Dorothy she told me that you were rather charming…" Miley stated as I walked into the house, my eyes staring directly at her body.

"Charming?"

"She didn't actually, but you look charming." Miley smiled complimenting me.

"And you're hot."

Miley frowned and I realized I'd just said that out loud, I instantly opened my mouth to retract what I'd just said but Miley just blushed. "Thanks Nick, umm don't generally get compliments from boys they normally give them to my sister."

"She sounds like a bitch." I stated,

Oh my god, what the hell was wrong with me? I was just saying everything that came into my head. Miley laughed again and nodded.

"She is actually. Anyway I need to show you around quickly…"

"Why?" I asked and she grabbed my arm,

"Because I have an audition at two my mom is coming home and will get psycho bitch on me if I'm not ready. And that explains why I'm looking like I'm about to walk down the red carpet…" Miley stated and I nodded.

"Yeah I was surprised when I saw you looking so…" I trailed off as she dragged me through a room.

"Tacky?" She suggested.

"No I was going to say beautiful."

Miley let go of my arm and opened a glass door for me, "Wow I don't think a boy has ever given me two compliments in the span of twenty seconds." She whispered her cheeks reddening with mine.

"So the pool?" I suggested trying to avoid her gaze,

"Yes, Nick meet the pool." She stated pointing at me, "Pool, meet the new cleaner."

Miley POV

He was cute.

I watched him stare at the pool, the sun hitting his face as he turned back to look at me. I for a moment felt myself scream inside, I could literally just stare at him all day but I forced myself to look away at the pool.

"Cleaning stuff?" Nick questioned,

"Yes, right cleaning stuff." I stated looking around,

Where the hell had I left it last? I put my hands on my hips as Nick gave a laugh, "It's good to see you obviously do a lot of cleaning, seeing as you don't even known where the stuff is."

"Excuse me?"

"Well you don't know do you?" He questioned,

I rolled my eyes and pointed my finger at him, "I may be Tish and Billy's daughter but I'm not a total brat like my sister okay, I take over all the chores if mom decides to fire the cleaner. Therefore I've been cleaning the pool for the last two months." I responded looking around, "I just can't remember where I put the cleaning stuff…"

"Brat?" Nick whispered,

"What?" I asked turning around and he just frowned.

"Did your mom tell you that I was coming? I was just expecting someone else to be showing me around…not you." Nick stated and I suddenly clicked!

"Garage."

"What?"

"I put them in the garage, the cleaning stuff." I stated smiling, "And yes my mom told me you were coming and that I had to show you around. Wow you went from complimenting to insulting me."

"No…I didn't-"

"I'm joking, come on."

I turned and took very careful steps so I didn't rip Taylor's very tight dress, I could have worn one of my own but I enjoyed looking at her closest, which she stored the outfits she couldn't fit in her own house. I opened the garage door as I walked past the cars…

"Nice, one of these yours?" Nick asked,

I laughed and turned around, "Umm no, dad loves cars, mom likes the attention by driving around in the most expensive gas guzzling ones dad buys for her. I own the prius, it doesn't get a spot in the garage."

"Earth lover?" He asked as I opened a cupboard,

"Yes, I care about the environment but I'm not a hippy if you're worried. I don't have weed in my bedroom or anything like that…" I stated and pulled out all the random bottles as he just laughed.

"Damn, I need a new supplier."

I pulled my head back out of the cupboard staring at him, "I was joking."

"I hope so…"

I pulled everything out and closed the cupboards, "Right well that's everything and if you could please put everything back in here, that would be great. The pin code for the gate spells out Taylor."

"Why Taylor?"

"Because she's not smart enough to remember anyone elses name." I stated smirking as Nick laughed at me.

"Really?"

"No, they just love her more then me."

"Oh…"

Nick looked away and quickly grabbed all the stuff as I sighed, way to make things super awkward Miley. I moved out of the garage holding the door open for him and Nick gave me a smile. I returned it and then bit my lip watching him walk over to the pool, I decided I better go ask him if he needed anything else while I was around…

"And there is a spare key in the left pot plant next to the door in case no one is home, and that key is there because my sister's an idiot." I added as Nick gave a laugh nodding.

"Right well I think I'm all good."

"Cool, if you want a drink or anything just go into the kitchen, no one is going to be home so you can get away with snooping around the house." I stated and he just gave a laugh.

"I don't want to get fired on my first day."

"I wouldn't let you get fired, your straighter then the last pool guy." I stated giving him a smile, "Although the last pool guy was seriously hot…"

"Well I am straight."

"Good." I muttered to myself as Nick looked at me confused,

"MILEY." Mom suddenly screamed,

I groaned and turned around, I stepped forward without paying attention to exactly where I was walking. I looked at mom as her mouth dropped…and then I dropped. Mom let out a scream as I felt Nick try to grab me, but he had no luck as I fell into the pool. The water surrounded me and I literally wanted to just sink to the bottom in embarrassment, but the coldness forced my head to break surface…

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU MILEY! Why do you have to be so stupid? Why can't you be like Taylor?" Mom screamed as I stared over at her screaming at me from the edge of the pool. "I can't believe you are so damn clumsy, how did I end up with you? WHAT DID I DO WRONG? Why can't you be like me?"

She turned and stormed into the house as I turned looking at Nick. He was just staring in shock across the pool at my mom as she slammed the door. I closed my eyes ducking back under the water…

I resurfaced to see a hand in front of me, "Hey come on, you okay?" Nick asked worried,

I looked up at his face and nodded taking his hand,

"Yeah just a little bit wet." I joked as he pulled me out.

Nick just stared at me unable to say anything, "Right well I don't have to go to the audition now, which is terrific. I'll leave you to clean the pool." I stated awkwardly realizing he most likely could see through my dress…and I wasn't wearing a bra.

"Are you okay? Like about what she said…I'm sure she didn't mean it."

"Oh no she did. I'm used to it, she hates me." I stated giving him a smile, "Thanks for caring though, I better go get changed."

"Yeah…" He muttered as I quickly turned around.

Well that wasn't the introduction I wanted but at least it would be memorial.
