Chapter 3.
Joe's POV.
I walk up the stairs and go into mileys room to ask why she ran off so quickly from school but once I get into her room I see her knocked out in a deep sleep on her bed not even changed I think of waking her up but I decide against it. She had a long day, I worry about her you know? She definitely knows it anyway she thinks I worry TOO much but I she's so small and trusting I remember when my parents first told me I was moving into my own house with my baby sister most boys my age would of gotten so mad saying it will ruin their life living with their sister but me, I was happy me and miley didn't have the usual childhood upbringing when I was 12 and miley was 11 I was adopted into their family after living in an orphanage all my life so technically me and miley aren't blood related but that's probably the reason we aren't at each other's throats the whole time. I don't know what I'd do without her. This whole thing with nick is something that worries me so much because I don't know how much longer she can keep up with it, she says she's fine with it but I know she's not. Ever since that first day I brought nick home to play football with my 6 years ago and he said he'd bring his sister for miley I knew all of us had this special bond and then when I was 16 I asked demi out and for a reason I thought nick would ask miley out but it never happened and I never got to ask him would he. I kiss mileys forehead and go back downstairs and make something to eat before heading up to do some homework.
Miley's POV. The next morning.
Groaning I wake up hearing Joe's voice and I roll onto my stomach with my head facing into the pillow. "come on Messer get u- Miley? What happened to your back?" he interrupts himself with a worried voice I turn to look at him "what do you mean? My back?" he looks at me with crazy eyes "miles there is a HUGE bruise on your back! What the hell happened?" I stand up and walk over to the mirror my mouth drops "I-i-i-I don't know what happened that wasn't there yesterday!" Joe comes behind me and touches the bruise and I wince "ouch Joe that hurts" I turn to look at him "miles ive played football for years and I have NEVEER seen a bruise like that on anyone its black and bigger than your right side of your back! Did you fall or anything?" and then the penny drops when I fell down the stairs but I don't want to tell him that he'll get even more worried "um no didn't fall maybe I walked into something" Joe gives me a weak smile and tells me to get ready and then walks out to get himself ready. I change into shorts and a black top but you can still see parts of the bruise so I throw on a hoody even though it's like 90' out! I walk downstairs slowly strangely not feeling hungry at all which is weird since I haven't eaten since breakfast yesterday. I'm about to walk into the kitchen when I hear Joe on the phone" Nick! Just listen to me, the bruise it, it was huge like bigger than any of the ones the boys had for football ever and its black! I'm worried about her, the headaches, the dizziness and now this! Please just talk to her" It goes quiet for a moment and then Joe stars again "of course she'll listen to you! She always does look me and demi are going to head to school early and then you'll talk to miley but don't act like I was talking to you alright?" after a quick bye I walk into the kitchen and act like I hadn't heard a thing. "Ready?" Joe asks and I follow him to the car as usual once we're on our way Joe turns off the radio Joe looks at me and then says "right so me and dems got to go to school early so nick will bring you sadly I can't even have breakfast with mama j" I nod and look out my window. 2 seconds later we're there and I hop out but see Joe still sitting in the car "tell demi to come out" he shouts at me and by the time I get to the door I see nick standing there as usual but this time demi is running out and gets into the car and they speed off. "They're in a rush! Hey Miley" he leans over and hugs me but I wince as his hands touch my back "oh sorry um Joe told me about the bruise" I nod my head and smile "yea I know I heard" I laugh walking in to say hi to Denise and then sit down still not feeling hungry but knowing its best I try and eat. Nick sits beside me and we have the usual morning conversation and then Denise places down a plate of pancakes down in front of me which honestly smell beautiful! I take some syrup finally feeling a little hungry and drown my pancakes in it then I go to take a bite but laugh first at nick who has a whole pancake in his mouth "what?" he says with a mouth full off food I roll my eyes and smile and then take a bite, immediately regretting it as the second it hits my stomach I get up and run to the bathroom throwing up everything in my stomach which wasn't much really. "Miley!" nick screams as he runs in after me holding my hair back and rubbing my back. Once finished I look down and see I got sick on my hoody and I shiver suddenly disgusted. "eugh, oh shit nick I'm sorry" he looks at me with his big brown eyes "miley don't you dare apologies for getting sick its fine but I think I should get that hoody off you" I stifle a laugh and take it off with my back to nick and the door and then second it comes off I hear two gasps one from nick and one from Denise who just walked in.
I quickly turn to them shit! "Miley what on earth happened to you?" Denise says sounding extremely worried and scared. "Miles Joe said it was bad but whoa that, that's huge what happened?" what happened? What happened? I'm sick of that question. "I DON'T KNOW OKAY? JUST FORGET IT!" I scream leaving them shocked in the bathroom and I go to demis room to try find a hoody but before I get a chance to even open the doors of the closet nick walks in with one of his white hoodies which he throws at me. "Wear that" he says watching as I put it over my head and then look at him apologetically "listen nick I'm sorry for snapping at you but I'm so sick of people worrying over me when there is no need" he smiles at me and then comes and sits beside me on demi's bed "its okay miles we are all snappy once in awhile, but just remember we only worry cause we care." I smile at him feeling a bit better "I know I just forget it sometimes, come on I want to say sorry to your mom" he nods and we walk back into the kitchen to see Denise standing the with a horror filled face once she notices us she says "Oh miley, miley I am so sorry please don't be mad at me sweetie I was just worried but I trust you to tell us if something's wrong." I smile at her and hug her tightly "Denise I am so sorry. You don't need to be sorry this was in no way your fault all mine and my silly attitude, I hate people fussing over me. You know that! I really am sorry" she hugs me tighter and kisses my head "miley I know you hate people worrying about you but let me tell you mother I'm having lunch with her today she has a right to know and knowing you, you haven't told her" I think about it and nod slowly knowing in my heart that she's right. "good girl, such a smart girl…Nick come over and join our hug you look lonely" I hear him chuckle but unlike other kids his age he's not afraid to admit he is a mama's boy and always will be. He walks over joining our hug and I hear him murmur quietly "love you guys" which makes my heart swell. I pull away with tears in my eyes and wipe them quickly "okay hate to break up this love fest but we got to head to school" nick and his mom chuckle and we say bye and then me and nick are in the car on the way to school. Nick's car mmm his baby his true love as he says a ford mustang in black. It has a V8 engine and leather seats. "so I guess Joe's mission is done" I look at him confused " he asked me to talk to you about the bruise and all but I think between me and my mom we've completed that mission successfully!" I nod and gently smile "I guess you did" he grabs my hand and gives me a quick squeeze and then returns his hands to the wheel "come on bring back my smiley miley" I laugh at the nickname he gave me when he first met me cause I couldn't stop smiling, if only he knew why. "That's better a real laugh" I smile and we pull into the school and we both walk in to see Joe and demi making out by her locker in other words beside mine. "ewww" we both say at the same time and laugh. I walk over to my locker and nick head the opposite direction saying he'll see me in music. I cough loudly and Joe and demi break apart both blushing "oops?" demi giggles. "hey how did you get one of the seniors football hoodies?" Joe asks and I looked down its true it is nicks football jumper. "its nicks one look its say NJ Quarterback on it" demi points out on the arm and back. I smile then but I realise they must of misunderstood my smile, you see its kind of a ritual in this school that the football players giver their team hoodies and jackets to their girlfriends. "Oh no no no not that I just um spilled something on my jumper so he gave me this!" both their faces fell obviously they had hoped for more. It kind of makes me wonder though why would Nick give me THIS jumper out of all the ones he could of given, maybe he does feel something about me? With that thought I link arms with demi and we make our way to home room both smiling and having fun.
