Chapter 7
Miley POV
I picked up the phone trying to balance Miah on my hip as I sat down on the couch staring at my two-year-old. I was so lonely, everyone was busy so therefore I was bored sitting at home like every single day with no one but my daughter to keep me sane. I gazed out the window staring at the beach wishing right now I was back in L.A going out to lunch with my friends or even my family.
"How about we call someone?" I suggested looking at Miah who just stared at me, I smiled kissing her head as she leaned her head on my shoulder.
I pressed the familiar number into my phone before my brain even realized what I was doing. I gazed at the number and sighed, did I really want to talk to him? I knew I did but it was just awkward at the moment...he lived so far away and we hardly spoke anymore. In the end I pushed aside my worry and pressed call moving the phone up to my ear waiting.
"Hello it's Selena on Nick's phone" I heard her giggly voice say, my mood instantly took another tumble down putting me further into the hole I was living in.
"Sel, give me the phone! Selena" Nick yelled and I moved the phone away and went to hang up,
"Hello, Nick speaking" He stated as I moved it back to my ear and just listened, I didn't really know what to say to him now. I closed my eyes thinking about all the what ifs floating through my head.
"Hello?" He questioned, "Is anyone there?"
"Mommy" Miah suddenly yelled as I hung up, he'd know who it was.
"Thanks Miah," I mumbled annoyed at her as she just frowned,
I sighed putting the phone on the couch staring out at the beach, what if I'd never broken up with Nick? Would I be happy? Or would I still feel lonely like I felt right now, thousands of miles away from everything I knew and wished I'd never left behind.
I let out a groan rolling over to see sunlight flickering through the wooden blinds, great another day without Liam. I sighed sitting up gazing out the window and then suddenly realized, this wasn't my room, where the fuck was I? I sighed remembering yesterday, so I was most likely at Joe and Demi's house then,
"I know he's our brother but he's being a dickhead! Selena has gone back to her old ways and I'm not hurting my friends again, they can go off together for all I care right now mom" I heard Joe say as I saw the door knob twist, I instantly laid down and closed my eyes.
"God Demi how many pills did you give her? She's been out for like 18 hours" I heard Dani say what did she mean by that? I kept my eyes closed as someone rubbed their hand along my back.
"I don't know like four, I was panicked…she can't die right?"
"I doubt that Demi, they were only sleeping tablets?"
"Yeah they were only sleeping tablets" Demi stated, what? She had given me sleeping tablets? When the heck did she do that yesterday?
"Miley you need to wake up! Miah is missing you honey" I heard my big sisters voice say,
I let out a groan doing my best to be fake being asleep, as Brandi gave a laugh rubbing my shoulder.
"Miley, Miah wants chocolate cake for breakfast…is that okay?" Brandi asked as I shook my head sitting up gazing around to see Demi standing along side Dani.
"No it's not" I whispered, god I felt so weird right now. "She'll get high. I can't deal with high right now…why am I so tired?" I asked already knowing as they all exchanged looks, which I knew meant they weren't going to tell me.
"I don't know you feeling okay? Miley I'm so sorry about yesterday that never should have happened" Demi stated apologetic,
I looked at her and shook my head thinking about the decision I'd made already…I was going home, I was causing problems…I didn't do that in Australia. I was leaving L.A again,
"No…it's fine," I muttered,
"No it isn't Miles"
"It's in the past I don't care! I'm sorry you had to defend me…" I mumbled out,
I didn't really care about it anymore my thoughts were back on Australia. I could keep the house here, I mean I could come visit but I'd just go live with Liam's parents or maybe I could live in Chris' apartment? Until I could get a house down there…smaller this time. Then I could just move back and not cause a single problem ever again.
"Are you even listening to me?" Brandi asked as I looked at her, bringing me back down to reality and gazed confused…right she'd obviously said something just what had she said?
"What I wasn't listening…I'm tired" I stated with a sigh gazing out to see Joe leaning on the wall still on his phone as Brandi wrapped her arm around me,
"I am taking you home okay,"
"Okay" I muttered, "Where's Miah?"
Sam's got Miah…" Brandi stated and I nodded climbing out of the bed gazing confused, right so I was going home. What about Selena…what was happening there?
"Mom I can't deal with this, you talk to him then I got to go" Joe yelled as Brandi forcefully pulled me up and I instantly felt the dizziness…
Wow what ever she gave me had really knocked me about…I was so tired. I looked at the two girls staring at me worried,
"Hey Miley…how you doing?" Joe asked walking in giving a smile,
Brandi let go of me and they just all stared waiting for response. I felt my body suddenly lean to the left, as Brandi instantly corrected my movement and pushed me back to being straight.
"I feel like someone's hit me" I stated as everyone instantly looked at Demi, I just felt exhausted it was so weird.
"Okay let's just get you home and then you can sleep" Brandi stated,
"Good idea" I nodded and Joe wrapped his arm around me as well,
"Demi don't freak you had good intentions…" Brandi stated seriously as I gazed seeing Demi' scared face,
"I wish I was dead right now…" I stated,
I saw all their mouths just drop, as they all just exchanged shocked expressions. Maybe I shouldn't have said that.
Joe POV
"Don't worry about Miley" Brandi noted,
"How can I not worry?" Demi hissed,
"She'll be fine, worry about Nick and Selena okay! You need to sort that out first" Brandi stated pushing Miley into the car,
I just stared at Miley, she was clearly out of it from the sleeping tablets but the words she'd just muttered were repeating in my head…she wanted to be dead?
"Look after her Brandi…' Demi begged.
"I will Demi I promise"
"Please look after her" Dani continued and Brandi gave us a smile and nodded, as I noticed something…
I let out a excited girly squeal grabbing Brandi's arm and pulling her into a hug.
"Congratulations!" I said,
She gave a laugh and hugged me back as I let go, she was engaged this was fantastic another wedding! We were going to be busy. Dani and Demi both just gazed very confused between us,
"I got engaged…" Brandi stated,
Instantly both girls gave a smile grabbing her and looking at the ring, it was huge…Sam must have spent a lot on it! I smiled seeing how happy she was. I gazed back to Miley, seeing her staring down at her own rings, she still hadn't taken them off yet. I gave her a weak smile which she didn't return and turned her head away,
"Congratulations Brandi, this is great when are you planning on having the wedding?" Dani asked excited as Brandi gave a laugh smiling at us warmly, she looked so happy.
"Umm summer, we want it soon though. You guys have to get married first before I even consider thinking about mine" She stated as I looked at Demi giving a huge smile…yeah our wedding.
"Okay I better go but can you not tell anyone right now, still need to tell mommy and the family about the engagement" Brande stated and we all nodded,
"Sure Brande" I stated as she smiled,
"I'll look after Miley promise! You work out what's happening with your family!" Brandi stated as we all nodded giving a wave, as she got into the car.
We all waved as she drove away and then exchanged looks,
"That's so good for Brandi…" Dani noted, "She looks happy, their family needs something happy to happen right now"
"I'm not the only one thinking about what she said am I?" Demi asked looking at all of us,
Both myself and Demi instantly shook out head…she missed Liam more then any of us could understand, but did she miss him that much?
"She wouldn't kill herself…" Dani tried to reassure us,
"She has Miah to look after, she's just upset and may I add very drugged up on sleeping tablets…she was like in a daze" Dani continued with a smile and we nodded as we headed back inside.
"I think coffee and lunch is needed? " Demi suggested and we both nodded, as she headed out of the room.
"Joe what are we going to do? It's happening again last time you guys took Nick's side and that ended out badly…" Dani muttered seriously,
"I know" I muttered worried,
"But if we take Miley's side it will end the same! We need to sort this out" I stated,
"Yeah especially before the wedding. Selena and Nick are in the bridal party for god sake we need to fix this before then!" Dani stated shaking her head,
"Hey guys I'm here," Kevin called walking in holding a bunch of shopping bags and Jayden,
"Oh great," Demi stated reappearing, taking the bags off him, "Bread, just what I need thanks"
"No problem," Kevin stated walking over to us,
"Miley gone?" He questioned and we nodded as Dani took Jayden off him,
"She said she wanted to die before she left, which was great" Dani muttered as Kevin let out a sigh,
"Why don't we ring Nick?"
"No" I stated straight away,
"We might as well just call him, it's worth a shot. Joe come on, we don't want this to turn into a fight, plus Miley won't care she gets over everything eventually" Kevin stated as I sighed, yeah he had a point there…eventually she did get over everything.
Kevin pulled out his phone and put it on the couch,
"God if he takes her side about this, I honestly don't know what to do…" I stated with a sigh as he pressed loudspeaker and we both sat staring at the phone preparing our speeches.
"Hey Kevin, we doing studio work this afternoon still?" Nick asked straight away,
He sounded calm and relaxed that was a good start right, I nodded for Kevin to start talking.
"Yeah that's fine, so everything's okay though…you know after yesterday?" Kevin asked as he shrugged looking at me, oh god this was so awkward right now…
"This is between Selena and Demi, I'm not getting involved what so ever nor should you they need to sort this out on their own because we don't want another fight" Nick stated, good to see he was thinking clearly about this.
"Yeah that's good, I think it will all blow over, so studio this afternoon sounds good" Kevin stated, as I sighed wondering what Selena had told him. I doubt she would have told him the truth.
"I'll see you then!" He stated happily,
"Great" Kevin stated,
"Oh and I canceled my day with Miley thing. I think you should too, it's just making everything worse obviously. I think she's better just being with her family" Nick stated as I noticed the Dem had walked back in and obviously heard what he's just said,
"Nick...it's Demi"
"I'm on loudspeaker, with the four of you aren't I?"
"Yeah, you are" I muttered uneasily,
"Miley slept here last night and this morning," Demi whispered, "she told us she wanted to die"
There was deadly silence for a moment on the other line as we exchanged looks.
"She needs to be with her family, we just need to stay away from her for a bit and then no one will get into fights. Selena is pissed at you Demi" Nick stated,
"I'm sorry I hit her but god did she deserve it Nick, she was like a child teasing every last bit of happiness out of Miley it was horrific to see. If you'd been their you would have understood" Demi stated sitting down on my lap as I reached up kissing her on the cheek.
"Well I'm not getting involved, but maybe Sel is right about what she said maybe she isn't you can't go around hitting people Demi, nor should Selena said those things out loud. But you both did things as bad as each other" Nick stated, Demi had a pissed look across her face, and we all knew this was far from over right now…it was only the beginning.
