His eyes shot open at the voice of his mother as he quickly sat in the bed looking at her with wide eyes and panic all over his face, "Mom?" he whispered and gulped.
"Yes, mom." she repeated "Now do you care to explain what you're doing with some trash girl in a bed at a party?"
This was bad, she didn't just catch him out without a premission in the middle of the night... at a party, but she also found him in bed with a girl... naked! "How did you get here?"
"don't try to avoid the question, young man!" she said tapping her foot on the ground impatient
"What do you want?" he asked getting annoyed as he suddenly felt the pain bouncing in his head.
"I want explanation!" she yelled.
"For what? What the hell does it seem to you? I'm running away from your damn house. Fuck, mom, don't you realize I hate it?" He finally got it out.
"language little boy! We are making your house perfect. You always got everything you wanted! You have nothing to complain about."
"I don't? Well, don't you see how you treat me? how you treat Joe? Why do you think Kevin got married and moved away so young? And he was the one coping! And don't you say I get everything I want, cause I get what YOU want, not me."
"Get dress, Nicholas. I expect you home in half an hour." she ignore him and walks away.
"Expect all you want." he said after her but she ignored him again. He huffed frustrated and punched the bed. He felt a gaze on him as he knew Miley was looking at her, he rolled his eyes and faced her, "What? Go ahead and shoot me the hating look, yeah, I'm swearing and yelling at my mother, got a problem?"
"I didn't say any- I'm not feeling good." she said putting her hand before her mouth
"What's wrong?" he looked at her confused for a second, "Are you gonna be sick?"
She nods and look around for a trash can
"Hold up." he said getting up as he carried her and ran to the bathroom that's attached to the room, he put her in front of the toilet and left to go bring their clothes. He put on his boxer and took her underwear and bra and returned back to her.
"I feel like shit..." she said whipping her mouth from throwing up when he comes back.
"That's what happen when you get really drunk." he shrugged and helped her waering her clothes.
"I can't even remember anything." she sighs and put her bra on "so that was your mom..."
"Yeah, it is." he sighed.
She frowned "I would offer you a place to live at my house but that's probably not what's best or what you want..."
"I'm not going back as she wants." he shook his head with a frown, "But thanks, I know where I'm going."
"where are you going?" she asks out of curiosity.
"Does it matter?" and there he came back with the jerky side,
"yes it does, actually. I have to know if you'll still come over every night?"
"No you don't have to know. You're not going to pick me up. It won't matter with you where I'm coming from and going to." he snapped.
"okay, geez." she sighs and look into his eyes to find any sign of pain.
He looked away not wanting her to know how he feels, he himself didn't want to know he's hurt. "I need to go find Joe." he said and left the room calling for his brother.
Joe walked out of the room "you got the nice wake up call from mom, too?"
"She came to you too? How in the hell didshe get here?"
"I have no idea. But she didn't seem too mad. I told her one of our friend was in trouble so we needed to come here and we just crash. What about you?"
"Oh, we just crashed and I was in bed with a girl? Won't work, dude, besides, I told her what I feel." Nick rolled his eyes.
"what the hell, nick!? Do you want to still be alive by the end of the day?"
"I couldn't help it, Joe. I'm not going back home anyway."
"you have too, man." joe sighs "I know it's bad but mom isn't the problem and you know it. Dad is. We just need to find a way to make mom realize it and things will be back to normal."
"It won't." Nick shook his head, "Ever since he knew that their woman he's gone crazy. And she's blindly following his stupid rules. Joe it's been like 11 years, I was freaking 8."
"we can't leave her. God knows what he would do to her!" he sighs again "where would you go anyway?"
"I would have said Zac first, but she seems to know our friends, so, I guess Kevin's."
"Just try to talk to her? Tell her where you're going. It'll make her think and she won't tell him."
"I can't, Joe. You know they don't know Kevin is back in town, besides she won't let me leave if she knew where I'm; she'll be there 24/7."
"You'll have to tell her at some point."
"Not now. You talk to her for now, but later, when they both realize what they're missing on, I'll be back."
"alright, man. It's your choice."
"I'm surprised that you're staying."
"I have too. For mom. Someone has to protect her"
"Right!" He sighed, "I guess I better get going before she comes again or something." He said.
"yeah... Take care of yourself. I'll see you at school?"
"I guess you'll." he said, gave his brother a hug and then returned back upstairs to collect the rest of his stories and quickly left to Kevin's. "Joe, take Miley home." he told him last thing before he left.
For her part, Miley's laying on the bathroom floor wondering where the hell is Nick. By now, she thought he forgot about her.
"Miley?" she heard a voice calling, at first she thought it was Nick but when they called again she knew it was Joe.
"in here!" she call back
"Come on, I'm taking you home." He said as he helped her up before carrying her to the room to let her get fully dressed.
"Nick left?" she asks looking around for her clothes
"Yes, he did." Joe said handing her the clothes he could find.
"do you think he'll be back? I mean to me." she asks putting it on "if he doesn't live at home anymore, no one can tell him to come see me."
Joe looked at her and sighed, "I don't really know, Miley." he said sadly.
"oh, okay..." she look down
"But, if he came... then that means that he's changed towards you." Joe tried to make it better.
"what do you mean?" she said looking up.
"I mean, look how he was rude and all... but now, he's actually being nicer, right? If he came back that'd be a total change, you see, he'd be there because he wants to not because he has to."
"then he won't come... I'm only his fuck buddy." she sighs
Joe looked down not knowing what to say... he was afraid to tell her Nick will return so she'll get her hopes up, and he was afraid to tell her he doesn't know so she'll be upset. But honestly, he didn't know! All he knows is that Miley likes his stupid younger brother.
"anyway. You should go home." she looked down trying to figure out why his mother was like that with them. Why was she so rude? Why wouldn't joe leave her alone?
"Um, I'll drop you on my way." he told her.
"thank you." she smiles
He smiled back at her and cursed Nick in his mind. They quickly got her wheelchair and left the place in Joe's car.
"hes going to come to school right?"
"Yeah, Miles, he's gonna be there... but I don't know if he's gonna be there on Monday." he sighed.
"how come?" she ask. She didn't know weither to be worried or happy for him. Maybe it was for the best.
"He wouldn't want to turn up just yet. In case... in case um, something happened." he was going to spell out the whole family situation, but he knew if it came from Nick, it'd be better. After all, she's closer to Nick.
"oh, okay, I see." she nods as they get to her house
"Come on, is your dad there?" he asked as he was now rolling her down towards the front door.
"probably not... He has a girlfriend now." she sighs
"Is that... a bad thing?" Joe frowned as he took the keys from her and opened the door.
"for me, yes. Nick would say in selfish but, you know..."
"Nick's in ass." He rolled his eyes. "He can say whatever he wants, Miley."
