Chapter 7 Stone Cold Silence
When Miley went home that day her parents were like stones, with the exception of her mother's hug when she walked in the door. Besides that, they were silent. Only Brandi, Noah, and Braison seemed to really care. Brandi completely understood, was caring and compassionate. It seemed as though she was frequently calming her sobbing younger sister.
That night at dinner no words came from anyone's mouth. Well… sort of.
"Miley, what happened to your face?" she said curiously, looking at the band-aid stuck to Miley's cheek.
"Oh. Nothing… I fell down earlier, that's all. I'm fine now." She replied quietly. Miley had no idea that she knew exactly what had happened. She knew everything. When Miley went to bed later, she had none other than a bad dream… about Nick.
"Nick! Don't go! PLEASE! Don't leave me!" Her dad heard her and walked to into her room. He saw Miley asleep, tossing and turning, tears streaming down her face. He did nothing. Instead he went over to the phone and dialed Nick's number.
Ring ringring… "Hello?" Nick asked answering his cell phone.
"Nick… um I was wondering if you could come stay with Miley for a couple of days?" Billy Ray asked.
"Uh… yeah, sure, of course, but why?" Nick asked confused.
"Apparently she has nightmares, and there is nothing I can do about it. She talks in her sleep saying "Nick please don't go." and I figured... if you were here with her…" Billy Ray tried to explain his request.
"Oh. Ok but… I still don't get why you are letting me into your house after what happened." He said still confused.
All Billy Ray said was, "For my daughter… she needs you now. Not me."
Nick didn't exactly know how to respond. "Um, ok, I'll be over in around half hour."
"Ok. That's fine. Bye" Billy Ray said and hung up.
"Ok? Bye?" Nick said mostly to himself as he hung up also. 'Wow!' Thought Nick hoping his parents would go for it. At first they were against it but then Joe came down stairs blurting out.
"She can't get any more pregnant than she already is! I was listening in on Billy Ray's call and I swear he was practically begging Nick to come!"
'Wow, Joe must actually have a brain. For once he saved MY butt. Usually it's the other way around.' Thought Nick, she wouldn't dare say that out loud though.
"Okay. Fine. We will start off with a week and see how it goes from there." Mr. and Mrs. Jonas decided.
Nick smiled, "THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!" He yelled as he ran up the stairs to pack his stuff.
