Chapter 10

Lucas POV

"I can't believe we're actually here, I think she might have thought we were kidding…it's so crowded good thing we got tickets" I stated with a grin as we stood at the front of the arena in our hoodies trying to hide our identity. I gazed around at all the people, I actually hadn't realized how big this was…we had struggled to even get tickets which had shocked me.

"I know we had to flaunt our name to even get a seat" Joe said amazed, easy enough we got the tickets and we managed to convince them we were friends of Miley and got our passes for backstage just so we could bug her…which I was going to enjoy.

"Hey guys how you doing today?" Demi said pulling each of us into a hug as Selena and Mandy did the same thing, we were becoming a family, which was good it made the tour so much easier.

"Here are your tickets and I rang Liz who is Miley's family friend and choreographer who told us directions and that Miley believed we weren't serious about coming today" Kevin stated as the girls were given their tickets and they all exchanged excited looks.

"Let's go then" Selena stated as we gave our tickets in and walked inside into the main auditorium area and went over to the security and showed them our cards and walked towards the backstage area.

"I know this isn't exciting for you four, but you have no idea how big a deal this is…only the best dancers get a chance to do this" Mandy stated seriously as heaps of girls walked past us hardly wearing anything at all…oh I was so happy I'd come now, hell this was really exciting! I got to watch all these girls! I was happy.

"So this event though, how many people get into nationals?" Nick asked, everyday I was noticing slowly he was opening up more…Kevin and Joe told me he was no longer red eyed in the morning from crying…he was missing her though still, but slowly we were all moving on.

"First and second generally…" Selena stated as we walked into a room just full of girls and a couple of guys but I couldn't really care less about them, all the girls…wow this was awesome.

"We're going to go find Miley…you guys can go stay here and gawk if you want" Demi stated with a giggle as I realized both myself and Joe were just staring at the girls…quickly I followed their lead and went down rows and rows of doors finally coming to see a door which had in bold lettering Elizabeth Murdoch academy written across it.

"We should knock, shouldn't we…." Mandy stated and we all nodded hoping no one was naked in there. Mandy knocked on the door and it opened at Liz looked at us with a smile…flicking her hair as I tried to see in behind her.

"Hey you must be Mandy, Selena and Demi, I've heard a lot about you…and I've already met you lot I am Liz…" She stated politely and we walked into the room, it was actually pretty big surprisingly. Instantly the girls started talking to Liz and I gazed over seeing three very bored looking guys sitting on the floor with their phones out who gave us a quick smile and a nod.

"The girls went to get breakfast, Miley demanded they take her to get coffee…they'll be back any…" She stated as the door opened and we gazed to see Miley wearing full make-up her hair out, she looked well drop dead gorgeous, she looked at us shocked and instantly slammed the door.

"Second…I don't think she believed you were coming…I told her you were but obviously it didn't sink in" Liz stated with a laugh, as she opened the door and two other girls were holding Miley who was trying to walk the other way and then realized the door was open and…she turned and looked at us grinning.

"Great you're here…when you leaving?" She stated quickly, I gazed to see she was wearing a robe along with the rest of the girls, damn I wanted to see if she could introduce me to her friends if they were hot but now I couldn't tell...every time I went to see mom dance the girls were always wearing baggy things.

"Not for a while, that's no way to welcome your cheer squad" Joe stated with a laugh and she just nodded as the other two girls behind were just rolling their eyes behind her…trying to get past unsuccessfully.

"Miley honey…maybe you should come inside, seeing you're standing outside and blocking the girls" Liz said looking at her as I held back a giggle as her cheeks turned red and she nodded stepping inside the door.

"You know that might be a good idea" She stated closing the door as I went over to her for a hug and she just looked at me and rolled her eyes and pulled me into a hug as I felt instant pain from heaps of sharp things on her body.

"What you got in there knives….?" I asked with a laugh and she gave all the girls and the guys a hug as I stood rubbing my chest...

"beads…lots of beads" She stated with a grin as Mandy said something to her and she gave a giggle and looked over at Nick for a second who was just staring at her…

"I don't want to be annoying but you guys are going to have to go…twenty minutes till you lot are on, and Miley you need to make sure as soon as you get back you put the dress on before you go on stage" Liz stated as she rolled her eyes and I gazed at the dress on the other side of the room, obviously for her solo.

"So are we going to see these outfits or not?" I asked hopefully and Miley shook her head blushing as we all just looked at her and she sighed and pulled off the robe and I gazed in shock…okay she was hot…

"We're not taking you out anytime soon…you'll stand us all up" Kevin said as she handed the robe to Liz and blushed, she was wearing like a sequined bra with nothing covering her stomach except…

"Hey you have your belly button pierced" Nick stated looking at her stomach and I gazed at her skirt that was just made of beads… and that was it she instantly pulled the robe back from Liz and put it back on and shook her head and pointed at the door, her cheeks a vibrant red color.

"I really thank you guys for coming it means a lot, but to tell this to you easily, you need to leave…" She stated forcing us all out as we pouted and Liz gave us a wave and we sighed starting to walk away…

"Good luck by the way…" I yelled as she just rolled her eyes and the door shut, as I gazed at the guys and girls…

"Damn she's hot…" I stated and instantly the guys all looked at me disgusted, they had a good point she was technically my stepsister…but she wasn't blood related…although I was defiantly not going there with her.

"I kind of have to agree though, she is seriously toned" Mandy stated as we walked out and went towards the main arena, hoping that she'd actually win something tonight.

Joe POV

I sat watching Nick a smirk across my face, yeah we all just stared at Miley in shock she was gorgeous more then we'd reliazed but unlike the rest of us guys we'd recovered Nick still seemed a little dazed..The girls were all giggling away next to us and us guys we were having small talk all of us a little bored now…but Nick hadn't said a word he was just sitting there blankly..some how I think her ways were starting to get to him and maybe he might have started falling for her.

"Hey fancy seeing you lot here" Liz stated as she walked past us and we all gave her a grin…

"Good luck for tonight…none of them seem very stressed" Demi stated with a grin and she shook her head, moving over to us.

"They all are a bit, I think Miley's making them all stressed just because when she gets nervous she starts babbling on about things that aren't important…" She stated with a grin and gave us a look and stared a little confused at Nick who was staring at the stage.

"It's going to be really tight for me to get back and make sure Miley is on stage for her solo, you lot should go back there make sure she actually gets on stage…she has before done a runner on me at a competition from nerves" She stated and all the girls quickly nodded understandingly and we just followed along with the nods.

"Thanks guys…I'll see you later hopefully the outcome is good" She said giving us a wave and we smiled as she walked off, I looked at the guys giving a sigh as Nick decided to finally come back to earth and looked at us.

"We need to tell her" Lucas suddenly said while I glanced at the girls who were thankfully all chatting away and instantly both me and Nick shook out heads…no not a chance in hell.

"We can't it'll break her heart, she doesn't want to find her parents she already told me that yesterday" Nick stated pleadingly and we all exchanged looks and Kevin looked at us…she'd told him that?

"We can't hide this from her forever, this is her family we're talking about…we are lying to her, and I don't like how that feels" Kevin stated and I sighed, shaking my head…neither did I, but if we told her who knows what would happen.

"We've already lost Ky I am not loosing Miley too, when we tell her she will never want to talk to us…we need to find the right time" I stated deadly serious as they all gazed at me…

"What if there's never a right time…" Lucas whispered out and suddenly the lights went dark indicating that it was about to start… I gave a sigh and looked over as a woman walked onto the stage a grin on her face as everyone applauded.

She started rambling on about all the acts and I lost patience after about twenty seconds. I gazed around all the people this competition was actually really huge, I mean it wasn't as big as the our shows but still…I gazed to see the first act had started performing and I sighed…this was going to be a long day, at least the girls were hot.

"Elizabeth Murdoch academy was set up five years ago, with little to no attendance. Now it is one of the main academy's for dance within the L.A area. They have yet to have a team in states but today have a both a team and a solo act. Put your hands together for the Elizabeth Murdoch dance academy" The women said and I stopped zoning out and focused on the stage.

To say the least I was pretty shocked, they were all amazing. I didn't really know where to look, to think that Miley was doing these simple routines for our concerts compared to this was just crazy. The costumes, the spinning it was plain amazing. And when it finally came to an end literally the 7 of us were screaming and cheering for them.

"That was amazing…my god that was so good" Mandy said giggling with the girls, if I was a judge I would have been awarding them first prize now not even seeing the remaining teams.

"Go see Miley?" Kevin suggested and I gave a nod as we all stood up and quickly moved out as the next act started. We got out and all exchanged excited looks as all the girls let out a scream...good to see they were excited.

"Wow…she has more talent then I thought" I said amazed as we headed backstage dodging all the girls half naked and knocked on the door waiting for a reply and it opened to see one of the guys…

"Hey come in" The guy said I felt my mouth literally drop as we all gazed at Miley wearing her bra and underwear the other two girls around her trying to do her hair and make-up, she instantly gazed up at us and jumped behind one the girls.

"You let them in what were you thinking…" She screamed as we all stifled giggles, I gazed over at Nick who was just seemed to be in a trance again.

"Just go away…seriously" She yelled and we all gave a laugh as she hid behind one of the girls who was laughing and eventually got hit by Miley to stop.

"Okay good luck then Miley" Selena said as we all quickly left, as soon as we got out the door we all burst into a fit of giggles, well at least me and Lucas did while the girls just shot us looks.

We quickly got back to our seats and finally the solo's stated. They introduced Miley and instantly I could feel how nervous we all got, but our nerves couldn't be bad as hers. We all gazed at her in a sea green dress doing a dance that we'd seen her practice so many times…yet still I couldn't keep my eyes off her. I gazed at Nick he just watched her in amazement she absolutely had him under a spell we could all see it. She finished and we all applauded again and she quickly rushed off, not bowing like most of the others did. We watched the other solo's but none of them were as good and when it came to the end we all expected at least a first or second for her.

We watched as the teams got announced and we all screamed when they got second, I could see the amazement on the girls faces…she was going to Nationals now. And then it came to solos the group of us held hands as they awarded third then second and finally Miley's familiar name filled the room and we instantly all screamed pulling each other into a hugs, while I gazed to see Miley's hand across her mouth as the rest of her team brought her into a hug…she was going to nationals, and by the look on Nick's face, Kylie's wish had been completed.
