Chapter 6 For her and my sake!

A strange feeling. A strange feeling filled her heart and mind as soon as she exited the church along with Nick and his family. She felt safe. She cleared her mind, and most importantly she felt comfortable. For once since a long time she felt comfortable.

Sadly, those feelings were slowly vanishing; as she remembered who she was with and what she is supposed to do. Her mind which was clear inside the church started to get disturbed with dirt out of it. Her heart which was white and clear in the church started to get grey out of it, and the grey begins to get darker until it reached black.

"Feeling good?" Nick asked her walking by her side towards his car.

"Yeah, really good."

"Told ya." He smiled, "Hey, wanna take a walk?"

"Yeah, sure, why not?" she shrugged.

"Hold up a second, I'll tell them I'm not coming home now." He told her and went towards them.

Every Sunday Nick's mother and her three sons went to the church together and after Kevin and Joe's marriage their wives went with them too. But every few weeks the families of their wives went with them too, and this Sunday was one of them, which Miley didn't like; because of the looks Demi's mother was giving her.

Every few minutes she feels her gaze on her, when she looks at her she finds her staring directly through her eyes without any kind of emotion in her face and when their eyes meet she never break the gaze, Miley is the one who do so; out of the feeling of uncomfortable. She was really annoying her, she was getting her nerve, if it wasn't for the sake of the stupid mission she would've snapped at her!

"Hey, let's go." Nick said when he returned to her side. She took a last glance at the woman who was still staring at her then followed Nick starting their walk.

"Do you do that a lot?" she asked Nick who was zoned out a little.

"Huh? Do what?"

"Going to the church."

"Yeah, always! Since I was a kid mom took us every Sunday." He smiled at the memories, "Is it your first time?" she nodded yes answering his question, "Why?"

"My parents aren't really religious." Ha, as if I even knew them, was her thoughts.

"Then I'm glad that I took you today." He smiled.

"Why?"

"You know, because when you don't know the right thing to do, you can go to the church and after that your mind will be cleared and you'll know what to do." He said.

"Yeah, right." She said and there was a silence for a while, "Hey, Nick," the silence was broken by her, he looked at her waiting for her to continue, "Why do you do that for me?" she just really wanted to know; she was almost a complete stranger for him, yet he was helping her getting friends and telling her about his life like he was an opened book. And that's out of the ordinary, besides when the gang told her about him, they said that he's hard to get along with people, and that he's not really outgoing!

"Do what?"

"You know, being with me while you have your family which you obviously love very much, and try to make me a happier person by introducing me to new friends, and almost all what you do for me." She chuckled at the end.

"I don't know, Miley, it's like I've known you for a long time. You're a great person which is surprising me seeing that you don't really have friends. You're really kind and understanding person, you really deserve to be noticed by the world. You deserve a good and happy life." He told her as she smiled at him even though she knew that every single word he said isn't true at all.

She didn't know how a person can be so stupid to be fooled like that and see a person who will be the reason of his death so good and white hearted.

"How do you know that? You just met me." She told him.

"I just can see it in your eyes, and to let you know, I can see right through the person, I've never guessed it wrong." It's either you're a big liar or you lost the ability to see, however her thoughts were negative and sarcastic, she smiled at him.

They walked in silence again and they reached the park, Nick asked her if she wants to enter and she just nodded in agreement. While walking between the trees, they became closer to each other; she felt his hand brushing hers, within minutes he was slowly holding her hand. She looked at him and saw him looking at her a little scared by her reaction, she smiled at him and accepted his hand in hers making him smile in relief.

Holding hand, they walked for a while. No one is speaking just them and the trees with the birds' sweet sound. They reached a big tree where they decided to sit under.

"You know, my family always telling me that I have to see girls and date to eventually get married." He suddenly told her and she looked at him waiting for him to complete, "But, I always told them that I'm not thinking about this right now, until I finish my college and start my job."

"You know, you have to do so, they are right, you can do both, you can date and focus on college too." She said.

"I always thought this was going to distract me from studying." He said looking straight in front of him, "But you know what, I think I'm starting to think I can do both."

"So, you're saying you like some one?" she asked him.

"Not really, but my thoughts changed, and it's because of someone." He told her smiling.

"That's great," she smiled back.

"What about you? Do you like someone?"

"No, actually, I don't even know guys except for you and your brothers." She told him.

"You don't know anyone at the college?"

"No, I'm known as the quiet girl that never speak." She chuckled.

"Your laugh is great." He told her without thinking about what he's saying.

"Oh, thank you." He was relived by the answer.

"You welcome." He said looking away before getting himself more embarrassed. She got a text message as she read it and he heard her groan, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, except that I don't have a place to spend the night at." She said angrily ad realized that she shouldn't have said this.

"What are you talking about?" her mind worked out fast to get a lie which she was perfect at…

"My uncle's daughter and husband is coming tonight and they're sleeping over and there wouldn't be enough rooms for me, so I have to go to an hotel." She lied perfectly.

"Weren't you living alone?" except for that part!

"Yeah, my uncle offered me a while ago to go and live with him when he comes here, because he's an old man and his house was only few houses away from mine, so I sold mine and moved with him yesterday."

"Oh, you didn't tell me that."

"I don't really care about him, he didn't call me except when he needed me, so it's not a big deal for me." She shrugged and he nodded believing and 'understanding' her.

"So, you don't have a place to sleep at tonight?" he asked her returning to the main topic.

"Yes, but I'll go to a hotel."

"No, you're not."

"What?" she asked confused by the smile on his face.

"You're sleeping at my house."

"What? No, I can't, no, no, no." she refused.

"Why not? That's what we do for friends. And my mother really love you, she won't mind, she'll love talking with you." He told her.

"No, Nick, I can't."

"Why not?"

"It's too much, no."

"No it's not; you'll not go to a hotel when you have friends with a space in their houses."

"But-"

"No but, when is your cousin coming?"

"In a few hours."

"So, you still have time to get your clothes and stuff, let's go." He said and stood up taking her with him, they walked the same distance back to the car and he drove towards her street.

She didn't tell him her real address before, but now, she has to, and she was thankful that she didn't, or she would've been in trouble, seeing that he believes that she moved out. Her parked in the driveway, and she told him to enter with her being the nice girl he thinks she is!

"Hey, Jim." She called out, and Jim came from the kitchen , he froze when he saw Nick with her, she glared at him and introduced them to each other.

"Nick offered me to sleep the night with him and his mother, seeing that you kicked me out tonight." She chuckled and Jim faked a smile.

"Yeah, why don't you show him the way to your room, while I have a word with you." She did what Jim told her and left her room after making sure that there's nothing that he can get suspicious for.

"What's the hell were you thinking?" Jim grabbed her hand roughly as she rolled her eyes.

"Let go of me." She ordered.

"Are you crazy? You bring your worst enemy to your house?"

"I had no choice, plus nothing bad will happen." She said, "Now, let go of me, Jim."

"Miley, what did you tell him?"

"That your daughter and her husband are coming and there's no enough space, so I can't stay here tonight." She rolled her eyes again and he finally left her hand.

The truth was Jim invited some of the important members of the gang over at his house to hold an important meeting that Miley can't hear a word of. He did that a lot in the last period of time and it was driving her crazy, she basically knew everything about them, so what are they hiding now? A question she didn't have the answer to, but she was determined to have it.

"Go to him, before he discover you're planning to kill him." He whispered and she glared at him and went upstairs to her room.

"Sorry for that, he was apologizing about the 'upcoming events'." She told him and he smiled.

"No problem. Wanna help in pack?"

"I'm not taking a lot of things, just a few for one night." She said opening her closet and getting some pieces of clothes out.

After a while, they left the house and went to his. "Hey, mom, I'm home." Nick called out and his mom appeared from the living room which held some laughers telling him that his family was still there.

"Hey, Nick, oh, hey Miley nice to see you." She pulled her in a hug even though she was with her a few hours ago.

"Hey, mom, is it okay if Miley stayed here for the night in the guest room? She had some upcoming events her cousin's-"

"Hey, hey, it's okay, Nick, no need to know the whole story, even if she has ten other houses she can stay here whenever she wants." She smiled warmly at Miley.

"Thanks, Mrs. Johansson." Miley returned the smile.

"Come on, they are still here."

"I can hear that." Nick chuckled and took Miley's hand in his and entered the living room, "Hey guys." Nick said and they all replied with a hey. Nick noticed Joe was looking at him smirking, he asked him silently about it and Joe looked at his intertwined fingers with Miley's and Nick understood him and smiled shaking his head.

"Hey, Nick, show her the guest room so she can change." His mom told him and he nodded and did what he was asked and told her to come downstairs when she finish.

When he returned back he found his mother explaining Miley's staying with them.

"Oh, that explains also them holding hands." Joe said noticing Nick's appearance.

"No, it's not what you think, Joe." Nick told him.

"Then why were you holding her hand?" Joe challenged.

"To lead her here."

"Yeah, yeah, like I'm believing this one." Joe said as they chuckled and Nick rolled his eyes.

"Just admit it, Nick, the girl is likable and you fell for her." Danielle said.

"No, I didn't, she's a sweat person I know, and she's really kind and there's just something about her that you don't see much now a days." He said smiling as an image for her crossed his mind.

"What is it, Romeo?" Kevin asked smirking at the look on his brothers face.

"She's so innocent and… just kind hearted." He shrugged trying to push that smile away.

Up the stairs stood Miley hearing those words shaking her head at his stupidity! She was amazed by the way he believed her and believed that she's an actually good person, and most importantly a trustable one. But the truth is she was never trustable, she even lies to the people who raised her; yes they weren't her family but at least Jim always treated her like his daughter! And yet, she's lying to his face.

When they told her about the real aim of the mission, she felt deceived, she felt used, they knew that she's not going to do her best if they told her about those papers from the beginning, so they convinced her with the revenge idea, and when she got involved in the mission and can't back away, they told her about the papers. And she knew if she didn't do what they want, it'll be the reason of her death!

But she can do anything just to let them be uncomfortable, just like they made her whole life. The only thing which keeps her in the mission was her father's death by his. She knew that he's responsible for it, but she knew that if it wasn't his father's fault, she'd have raised in her dad's arms instead of Jim's.

Back in the house, Jim sat with some people in the living room with his hands covering his face and they were all glaring at him, "What you say?" the man who was with him while telling Miley about her conversation with Selena asked Jim harshly.

"Guys, I can handle it." Jim told them almost begging.

"Jim, she crossed the line." A blonde woman said.

"Yes, but I know she didn't mean to."

"Jim, she fucking told you that it was a secret code between her and Selena and you bought it, are you really that stupid?"

"I know she lied, okay? But she'd just stressed lately with the new mission and all."

"But she can be dangerous on us anytime. She brought him here, her enemy and our enemy, Jim. He knows your house." The same woman said.

"She didn't have the choice."

"Stop defending her. I know you damn raised her, okay? But she's breaking our rules, and if she continued like that, we would've to get rid of her." The man said harshly as Jim's eyes widened.

"No, no, I'll fix it, okay? Just don't hurt her."

"We'll give you the chance, but if you failed, we'll do what we want. Understand?" Jim nodded slowly. He had to talk to her and figure out what she's hiding, for her sake and his, he knew if he failed with her, he won't be so important for them, so his amount of money he's earning from them will decrease, and he can't let that happen because of the girl he failed in raising! And he can't lose her too, she's the only thing that made his life better, she's like his daughter which he never had! He knew that he must talk to her as soon as possible.
