CHAPTER 3
Yesterday, when we got home I saw my dad sitting in the couch watching TV and as soon as I saw him I walked fast to the stairs to try to not let him see me. No such luck.
"Miley? Tish? Are you there?" he asked looking at the door. Mom was on the kitchen and she didn't hear him so I stepped back from the stairs and went to the living room. I leaned in the door and said
"Yes, Dad. It's us" I sighed and acted like I was really tired.
"Well, you got home later than I expected" he looked at me. I sighed, let the questions begin..
"It's a movie, what time did you think I was gonna come home? 30 minutes later after I left?" he stood up. that wasn't good.
"What do you think you are? Talking to me with that tone! You missy, go to your room and go to sleep!" he walked up to me and looked at me in the eyes.
I wasn't gonna do that. My dad doesn't know Nick and I don't care, I like him and i'm not gonna let my dad start grounding me just cause I went to the movies! "I'm not talking in a bad tone! i'm just tellin you what I think. and I don't want to go to sleep, ok?" I threw my hands over my head
"oh, you're not talking in a bad tone?" he asked and shook his head "you're only 15 and I don't want you alone with a boy who's.."
"just turned 16 a few months ago" I replyed when he stopped talking.
"exactly, 16! He's gonna make you do bad things. Things that are wrong and I don't want my little girl doing those things!"
I looked up and down without moving my head, counted to three and talked. "Look, dad, I'm not 9 years old anymore! As you said, i'm 15! I wanno go out, I wanna party, I wanna hang out with my friends! Can't you let me have a little bit of freedom?" I was losing my patience. He just looked at me and I couldn't stand it. "Hello?" I raised my eyebrow
"Go to your room and we'll talk in the morning" he looked at me very seriously
"no, dad. I want to finish this conversation and then i'll go to sleep" I looked at him back, still in my same position, trying not to move and trying not to be disrespectful
"Unfourtunately, i'm the parent here and you have to do what I tell you to do. So, go to sleep and we'll talk tomorrow. ok?" he sighed, walked back to the couch and sta down
"Ugh, I just wish I could have some liberty around here! I'm going to my room and.." before I could finish my sentance my mom entered the room ".. i don't want anyone there!" I turned my heal and saw my mom.
"Why don't you want anyone where?" she asked me
"On my room." I said with a bit of annoyence in my voice
"What's going on here? Why the attitude?" she raised an eyebrow at me
"Just dad. But whatever, I'm gonna be in my room." I walked to the stairs and up to my room. There, I changed, got my make up off and entered facebook. I fell asleep an my Iphone fell into the bed
So that's what happened yesterday, now today I woke up around 10 and saw my Iphone next to me on the pillow. I grabbed it and asked myself why was it there and not in my bedstand. Then I remembered that I fell asleep and it probably fell to my pillow. I pressed the lock button to unlock it and saw I had 3 messages and 1 missed call. I unlocked it and saw who had texted and called me.
Texts: Selena, Demi, Nick
Calls: Demi
I pressed the message that said Selena and read it
Sel(:
Saturday, February 2, 9:30 p.m.
miles! where are you? is it going good, great or super bad?
I laughed at that. Selena.. always looking out for me, well.. I kind of told her to text me just in case. Before I replyed to her I pressed on Demi's text
Demssss3
Saturday, February 2, 10:15p.m.
gurll, you ain't replying to us. Sel texted you and i called you, are you alright? call or text, miles!
I pressed back and made a conversation text to Demi and Sel
m: hi! sorry I didn't text or call back yesterday. It was going really good and i put the phone on Do Not Disturb because the movie was starting. I need to tell you everything! But sorry again cause i didn't text back. my dad was pissing me off and i just went to sleep..
I stood up from my bed and went to brish my teeth. When I finished my phone beeped and I checked it
s: oh, really? that's really good news! oh, and what happened between you and your dad?
m: he just started going off about how late i came home and all that shit but i really don't care! i like nick and i wanna get to know him and be friends, and that's not his problem. i know when someone is good and someone is bad, ok? he doesn't need to be babysitting me so much
s: wow, that must be tough on you.. what are you gonna do?
m: idk, i have a text from him so i'll text you in a few seconds, kay?
s: k
I looked at Nick's message which I had totally forgotten about and read it
Nick Jonas
great. see you later
Saturday, February 2, 11:30p.m
hey, you asleep?
I was going down the stairs while replying back to him
Nick Jonas
great. see you later
Saturday, February 2, 11:30p.m
hey, you asleep?
Sunday, February 2, 10:27a.m.
m: hey, sorry. yeah, I fell asleep. are you awake?
I sat down in front of my dad. "Morning" I said to him and sat down. I really hope this was gonna be a good day. He said it back quietly and my mom entered with some breakfast plates.
"Oh, Miles. You're awake." she smiled "i'm gonna go get you your breakfast plate"
"thanks" I said to her as she went to the kitchen. She came back and gave me her plate. I started eating and she started talking
"so.. can someone talk to me about yesterday?" she looked my dad and me. I looked at her and quickly looked down at my food when I sww her staring at me. "Miley, please?"
I sighed and swallowed. "Ok, so when we get here he got mad at me because I came too late and I got mad and told him that I'm not a little girl anymore and that I wanted to go out an have fun and that I am not gonna start doing bad things because I am not like that and then I went to my room"
She took a breath and talked "Oh, I see what's happening here. Billy, you don't wnat her to go out?" she looked at my dad and he nodded. "Why?" she asked "You're afraid she'll turn like us?" she kept looking at him and I was starting to get a bit confused
"Tish, I don't want her going around like she's a nobody. She's a well educated girl and yes..." he took a breath and sighed "I don't want her to turn up like us"
My mom looked hurt after he said that "You know what?" she started to talk more loud and clear "She's a responsable teenager and she knows what she's doing and when she's doing it I know she does it with a clear mind. She's 15 for god's sake! Let her hang out and party with her friends! she's old enough"
My father slammed his hands against the breakfast table and stood up. "Tish! I don't want her to have the same problems like us! She doesn't need that bad past to happen to her! I don't want her regretting anything in life!"
My mom stood up too "I didn't know that that was something you regretted, sleepin with me! and almost.." She broke down to tears. Ok, I was really confused and I didn't know what to do. I stood up from my seat and touched my moms back. She stood there looking at my dad. He looked at me and told me to leave the room and go to another place in the house. I did as I was told and decided to go to my room. I layed in my bed to think about what was happening downstairs. My dad said he didn't want me doing the same errors as he did and my mom said that he thought that their past was a regret..? It's really cofusing.. i'm somehow sad..
The day kept on going and it was around 4 or 4:30. I turned on my computer and Justin chatted me on Facebook
justin: hey, miles
me: hey, justin. what's up?
justin: you know how you said to me to ask selena out?
me: yeah, what's wrong with that?
justin: ok, promise you won't tell? or that someone will see this conversation
me: um.. sure. but what's with all the secret stuff?
justin: well, i wanna ask her out but i don't know where. and you're her friend so you can tell me but i don't want her seeing this. or demi
me: ok, your secret's safe with me. what do you meed help with?
justin: well.. where can I take her out? when? what does she like? you know all those things
me: justin.. shouldn't you at least know what he likes? you've been friends with her for a while now..
justin: come on, miles. don't throw that shit to me about what i know or what i don't know. yeah, she's been my friend for years but i don't know everything cause she tells girls that and you and demi are her closests girl friends and i know i can confide in you.. demi, not so much. she's not that friend of mine
me: ok, fine. She loves cupcakes and flowers.. she likes to go to the park up in the college area, know what that is?
justin: the one near UCLA?
me: yeah, that one
justin: oh yeah, she told me that you guys were gonna han out there once.
me: well you should totally take here there and give her some flowers and cupcakes.. then put some music or something and talk.. she loves to talk
justin: ok.. talk about what?
me: ok, now you're just being stupid. No offence. Just talk about what you always talk
justin: movies, music.. ok, i'll try my best. thanks
me: your welcome.
justin: oh, and one more thing!
me: what is it?
justin: when should i ask her?
me: on tuesday, or something. i've got an idea!
justin: what is it?
me: tomorrow i'm gonna try to make her day really bad so the on tuesday when he comes really down to school you can ask her and then her mood will change, wanna do it?
justin: oh my god! that sounds like a good plan! thanks a lot! talk to you tomorrow!
me: kay, bye!
I logged off it was already 5:45 and I went to take a shower. Who knew makin a secret plan with one of your friends would take so long? I turned on the shower and got in. A few minutes later I got out and when I entered the room my dad was sitting in the bed. Good thing I was already in my tshirt and shorts!
"Hey..?" I asked weirdly. He looked up from the floor
"Oh, hi Miles" he said. Ok, this was not normal. My dad doesn't erase his anger from his forehead this easy, even when it's something so stupid.
"Um.." I started but he stopped me
"Come sit here, Miley" he patted the seat next to him "I want to talk you"
I opened my eyes withouth thinking and quickly replyed "If it's about Nick, i'm sorry for what I said" he cut me off
"It's not about Nick.. well, it's kind of about him but I need to tell you something. Can you come here?" he asked me again
I went to my bed and sat next to him, putting my celphone upside down next to us. "What do you wanna talk about, dad?"
"Ok.. I know that you might be confused about what happened between me and mom but it's really important and you need to know" he looked at me and put his han on my knee, fatherly way
"It's ok, you don't have to if you don't want to" I nodded to myself "It's not a big deal, you know.."
"No, it is. And you need to know" he looked at me and I nodded ok, then he told me. "When I met your mom we were both 14 and we became really good friends and then a year later, we were 15, we started fooling around.. you know, teenage stuff" He was about to continue but I knew that this was a little bit hard, I knew by just lookin in his eyes.
"Your mom got pregnant. We were 15, like I already told you, and when she told me I got really angry. We had a lot of difficulties and a lot of problems. But I decided to stay around. We didn't know what to do, we were clueless" He swallowed, he looked like he had a lump in his throat.
"You can tell me later, if it's too much to handle right now." I said to him and looked at him, he had his head down. He shook it no
"No, I already started and i'm gonna finish it" He looked up again and looked at me "Your mom was one month pregnant and she decided to tell your grandma. She didn't took it well and she said she didn't want to have anything to do with a teenage pregnancy grandchild. She didn't talk to your mom. The baby was 7 months and one night, around 12:45 your mom called me like if she had a gun in her forehead and told me what had happened. I went there, I didn't care if it was a school night and bursted in her room. She was crying histerically. We had lost a baby." He was crying a bit and I had watery eyes
I was kind of sad, that must have been really tough on both of them. But that didn't mean I was going to do the same. "Dad.." I starded. I wanted him to know what I wanted in life and what I am planning to do ".. I know that must be really tough, and I don't judge you. It would have been really cool to have an older brother or sister. But I want you to know that I'm getting big, I'm a teen and I want to do my own things. Nick is just a friend of mine, that doesn't mean i'm gonna have sex with him! I swear, I know what i'm doing an when i don't know, i'm sure i'll tell you and mom to help me. But you need to let me grow up and make mistakes too, even if you don't want me too. It's part of life" I sighed after giving my little speech
"I know, Miles. And i'm sorry. I just want you to have a good time but be sage at the same time. You'd tell me if something went wrong, right?" he asked me and i nodeed and smiled a bit
"Totally and to mom too. I'm really proud of what you did, havin another kid after that horrible experience. But always remember: you need to pass the rainy days to have the sunny days". He looked at me and smiled, the wiped his eyes.
"Thanks, Miles. You can hang out with him, but not too much, ok?" he said as he stood up.
I nodded "of course, dad." I said as he left my bedroom. As soon as he closed the door I layed on my bed and took some air in, the breathed out. This was a lot to take in in just one day. I thought about my conversation with my dad and after a few minutes I decided to forget about it. I grabbed my phone and unlocked it: One new message.
From Nick
I suddenly got a bit exited. At least my parents were gonna let me hang out with him, that's a good sign. I read it, forgetting the sadness I had from my parents' situation in the pass and having a little fun texting him
Nick Jonas

I looked at the clock, it was 8. I decided to just put on some sleeping shorts, keep my tshirt and lay in my bed for the rest of the night. Don't call me a sleeper, but it's sunday, Nick's talking to me and i'm not in the mood to see my parents.. So i'll just chat and text for the rest of the night. I changed and layed in my bed after turning on the air conditioner and turning off my light. I texted Nick again

m: no, but i love step up!
n: me too!
I smiled and kept talking to him for like 2 hours, then I got sleepy an told him that we'll talk tomorrow. We said goodbye and I put my phone to charge. I closed my eyes, smiled in the dark and thanked god that he liked me.. at least as a friend.
