Miley's POV
When I woke up I noticed Nick, Oliver, and Lily staring at me.
"Hey" I said sleepily, I was starting to feel better. It didn't hurt to talk anymore.
"Hi," they replied together
"How are you feeling?" Lily asked
"I'm surprisingly feeling better" I answered.
"How was school" I asked
"It wasn't very good" Oliver answered
"Why not?" I asked
"Rum…" Oliver started, but was cut of by Nick
"Because you weren't there" he said sweetly
I'm pretty sure I started blushing.
Just then Jordan walked in.
"Hey sweetheart" he said coming over to me.
"Hey babe" I replied as normally as I could. I had to act normal, and not scared.
"I'm sorry I didn't get to see you earlier, I had some job interviews" he said
"How did they go?" I asked
"I'm not sure, they said they would call me and let me know" he responded
"Well I hope you get one of them" I said
"Thanks" he answered
Now Heidi walked in.
"OMG, finally I get to meet the other Jonas brother" she said
"So I take it you met my brothers" Nick said laughing
"Yeah, they're pretty cool, especially Joe" she blushed
"Oh, Heidi, these are my other friends" I started, "Heidi, I would like you to meet Nick, Lily, Oliver, and this is my boyfriend Jordan" I said pointing to each person.
"Hi, I'm Heidi" she replied
"Hi" they all responded
"So Miley, I know when you get to go home" Heidi said smiling
"When!" I asked excitedly
"Tomorrow, we have to get you walking first, that's what we'll be working on today" she answered
"Sweet, I can't wait to get out of this bed" I said gleaming
"Ok, but Miley you need to understand that it will be painful to walk, you will have to use a walker, and you'll have to be on bed rest for about a week" she dropped the bomb
My face dropped.
"A walker, bed rest, why?" I asked
"Well, it's a slow recovery, we cant let you put to much strain on that muscle, you need to walk so you can use the bathroom and stuff, but other than that you have to be in your bed until the muscle heals a little more" she explained
Ah, this sucks; I just want things to be normal. Everyone is totally going to baby me. Well, I just have to be strong.
"Ok" I said
"Well, we'll start the walking in about half an hour. So if you have some clothes you can change into that would be great, trust me, I've seen too many butts through the dang hospital gowns, so I'm just warning you" she laughed
"Hey, Lily, do you think you could go grab some sweats from my house for me?" I asked
"Sure, no problem" she answered
"Hey, I'll go with her" Oliver said
Soon they were gone. That left me with Nick and Jordan.
"Hey, Nick, do you think I can have a minute alone with Miley" Jordan asked.
Oh no, I didn't want to be alone with Jordan.
"Umm…sure I guess" Nick said reluctantly. I could tell he didn't trust Jordan. Then Nick walked out. Jordan went over and closed the door. I was getting scared.
He came over and put his hand on my cheek and I trembled.
"Hey, don't be scared ok, I'm sorry Miley, and I love you" he said
That caught me off guard a little bit; it wasn't what I was expecting.
"It's ok, you know I love you too" I responded
"I'm really sorry though, I was just upset about losing my job, and I guess I took it out on you" he said
Wow he was being really sweet. He slowly came to me and gave me a kiss on the cheek. He started pulling away but I pulled him to my lips and kissed him. He popped his tongue into my mouth and was gently massaging my tongue. I couldn't hold my breath for very long so I had to pull away. I was already panting. I caught my breath and pulled him back to me. We kept this routine for a couple minutes until Nick, Lily, and Oliver walked in. I gently pushed Jordan back and I was blushing madly from embarrassment.
"Hey guys" I greeted
Nick's POV
Are you kidding me? She was kissing that slime bag.
"Hey Miley" Lily said smiling, "I got your clothes that you asked for"
"Thanks Lily" Miley replied
"Are you guys Ok?" Miley asked
"Oh, huh, yeah, I'm fine" I guess I had a weird look on my face. I looked over at Oliver and he didn't seem too happy about this either.
"Yeah, it's all good" Oliver said through gritted teeth.
I guess Miley noticed our current moods. I saw her hit the nurse's button on the side of her bed. A few seconds later Heidi walked in.
"Hey, what do you need" Heidi asked
"I have my clothes now so I can change" Miley said
"Wow, someone is anxious to get out of bed" Heidi laughed
"I know" Miley replied
Miley's POV
Ok, so that was extremely awkward. Nick and Oliver looked like they were going to kill Jordan. They must not have believed me when I said it wasn't him. They're so protective, but I love them.
I called Heidi into the room to ease the tension, and so I could get started on walking. I couldn't wait to get out of this bed.
"Ok boys, but I'm going to have to ask you to leave so Miley can change" Heidi stated
The boys walked out. Lily stayed behind to help. Heidi started in inclining the bed so I would be sitting up. That was actually kind of painful because that was causing muscle to move me. I don't know how to explain it. Then I was in the sitting position.
"Lily did you bring me a bra?" I asked
"Yeah, I brought your purple comphy one" she replied
"Thanks" I giggled.
Heidi grabbed my legs and gently swung them over the side of the bed, and I gasped in pain.
"You ok" Lily asked worriedly
"Yeah, just a little sore" I said pointing above my waist.
"Sorry about that Miley" Heidi said
"It's ok" I replied
Lily grabbed my underwear and put my legs in them, and Heidi began to pull them up under the gown. This was extremely awkward; I've never been dressed by someone before. Not to mention I was extremely shy about my body. When Heidi reached my butt area she had to lift me up to a standing position. My legs were extremely weak so I put my arm over Lily's shoulders to brace myself. This was really painful. I began quivering slightly and Lily noticed.
"Hey do you need to sit" Lily asked
"Nope…I'm ok" I said gasping. I had to be strong, I couldn't let her know.
Heidi grabbed the sweatpants and carefully lifted up one of my legs to put it through the hole. I guess I began leaning more on Lily because she was struggling to keep me balanced. Then Heidi did the same thing to my other leg. Finally my sweatpants were on, and I could sit again.
Lily grabbed my bra and went behind me. She opened the little slit in the back and put the bra around my front, and then she clasped it in the back. Now we just had to get my arms through the straps. They removed the gown off of me all together and I became extremely uncomfortable. You could clearly see my swollen bruises on my stomach and back. I could see the stitches that I must have got from the surgery.
Lily came around in front of me and winced looking at my battered body.
"Oh Miley" she said tearing up, "How did this happen"
I didn't answer; I just looked down and tried to hold back tears. Heidi helped me get my arms in the straps. My left arm was a little bit harder to work with because of the cast, but we managed. Then we slipped my MTV t-shirt on, and I was more than happy to cover my stomach.
"Glad that's over" I mumbled
Heidi helped me into a wheelchair and began wheeling me out of the room to the waiting room. I saw Nick, Oliver, Jordan, Joe, and Kevin sitting there waiting for me.
"Hey Miley" they all said standing up
"Look at all my guys" I exclaimed
"Hey Heidi" Joe flirted
"Hey Joe" she winked
"So, Miley are you ready to walk" asked Kevin
"You have no idea" I answered.
"Hey Miley, I just got a call a few minutes ago asking for a second interview, so I have to go, but I'll be back either later today, or tomorrow" Jordan stated
"Ok hun, thanks for coming" I replied
"I love you" Jordan said kissing my lips
"I love you too" I said against his lips
I wasn't one for PDA so I had to pull away. Once again Lily was smiling, Oliver and Nick looked angry along with Joe this time, and Kevin was oblivious to anything.
"Bye sweetie" I called
"Bye babe" he replied
"You guys are so cute together" Heidi mentioned
"Thanks" I responded
"Ok Miley, I'm going to wheel you to the Physical Therapy room and I'll introduce you to your physical therapist.
"Alright, let's go" I said
"Can we come?" Oliver asked
"Well that's up to Miley" Heidi said
I was hesitant to say yes but I felt like I had to.
"Sure, it's fine with me" I said
"Cool" Oliver smiled
Heidi started wheeling me down the hallway. Soon we came to a door that said Physical Therapy on it. We entered the room and I saw a bunch of gym equipment.
"Ok, you guys just wait here, I have to get back to work, but I'll be back later" Heidi stated
"I'll be counting on that" Joe smiled
Heidi blushed deeply.
"Ok, so Ryan will be in here soon, he'll be your therapist" she explained
"Thank you" I said
Heidi walked out, and that left all of us to talk for awhile.
"So poopsy, you should try to hook me up with your nurse"
"Alright, that's it, why do you keep calling me poopsy?" I demanded
Nick, Joe, and Oliver began cracking up hysterically. I looked at Lily and Kevin but they shook their heads like they had no idea.
"Well!" I asked
"You told me that you felt poopsy" Joe said
"What? I never said that" I said confused.
"Yes you did, you said you felt like diarrhea!" Nick laughed
"No! You guys are such liars" I laughed
"No we're not lying Miley; you were heavily drugged at the time" Joe chuckled
"What?" I asked
"When you got out of surgery, you weren't exactly yourself" Nick joked
"Oh gosh" I said covering my face with my hands.
"So Miley, you and Jordan looked so cute" Lily stated
I saw Oliver, Joe, and Nick tense up.
"Thanks" I said
Just then the therapist walked in. He was probably in his twenties, and he was totally ripped. Not going to lie, he was pretty HOT!
"Hey, you must be Miley" he said sticking his hand out to me.
"And you must be Ryan" I said politely shaking his hand.
"So, I understand that we're going to do some walking today" he said
"Well, you understand right" I joked
"Well, how about we get you out of that wheelchair?" he asked
"Sounds good to me" I replied.
Everyone else sat down on small bleachers against the wall. Ryan wheeled me over to these two metal handrails that were parallel to each other. He went behind me and lifted me by my armpits to an upright half-standing position.
I guess he could tell I was struggling because I was leaning back on him trying not to let my legs fall. Now I know there is nothing wrong with my legs, but in the last week I've been beaten, almost died, and had surgery, so most of my body hurts and I hate to say it but I'm pretty weak.
"Ok, now let's see if you can take a step towards those two bars" he said still half holding me up.
I moved my right foot painfully, that muscle was a killer. I carefully put it down and put my weight on it. And I smiled happily.
"Good job, now if you can, put a hand on each bar" he motioned for me.
I did as I was told, and now I was in between the two bars.
"Ok, so now I'm going to let go of you, so hold on" he warned.
I suddenly found it a lot harder to stand without him holding me. He came around to the front of me.
"Can you please take a step towards me" he asked
I now had a thin layer of sweat that was forming on my skin. My legs were wobbling but I took a deep breath and moved forward. I gasped in pain as I did so.
"How was that" I asked my voice quivering
"That was great, now try another step" He ordered nicely
My knuckles were turning white from grasping the bars so tightly, I went to take another step but I felt a sharp pain in my stomach and my legs gave, as I cried out in pain. Thankfully Ryan caught me before I hit the ground.
"Whoa, you alright?" he asked concerned,
I looked up at my friends staring in horror, oh great.
"Yeah, I got it" I said trying to hide the pain in my voice.
We finally made it down to the end of the bars and I could take a break. This was a lot harder than I thought. Ryan gently sat me down in my wheelchair.
"Can I get you some water?" he asked
"Thanks, that'd be great" I heaved.
I was now covered in sweat and I was panting.
"Are you ok Miley?" Nick asked
"Yeah I am thanks" I was really getting tired of everyone asking me that.
"Wow, you really are a fighter, most girls would have quit on the second step" Ryan said handing me some water.
"Thank you" I replied
I finally regained myself.
"So are you ready to try the walker?" Ryan questioned
"Yeah, I think so" I responded.
"Great!" he said.
This time, I started lifting myself out of the chair. I almost had it but I started losing my strength and Ryan helped me the rest of the way.
"Wow, I can't believe you got that far" Ryan stated
I reached for the walker and put my weight on it.
"Whew! Much easier than those bars." I said
I started taking steps forward, small and slow steps, but they were still steps. I smiled in satisfaction.
"Ok! Wow, you're a fast learner" Ryan smiled
"Thanks" I replied.
"Well, I think you're done, you should be set to leave tomorrow" Ryan said, "Do you want to walk back to your room, or do you want to ride?"
I really wanted to ride. My body was in pain, and I was so exhausted, but I looked at my friends, and Ryan and I knew they wanted me to walk.
"I think I'll walk" I answered.
"Nice!" Ryan said excitedly
I made my way back to my room with Heidi again.
"You definitely improved since I saw you earlier" he stated.
"Yeah, I guess" I was losing my energy.
We got to my room, and I painfully was helped into bed by Heidi.
"Thank you" I said. "Do you think I could get some water please?"
"Of course, I'll be back" and she walked out.
Nick came over to me.
"You did great today" he smiled
"Really, I feel like I should be able to do better." I noted
"No, you did great, for all that has happened, you were so strong" he said.
I blew a sigh. It was currently just me and him in my room.
"You amaze me" he said
"Why?" I asked smiling.
"The way you view life. You never complain, you always look out for others, you almost always smile, your amazing Miles" he explained
"Nick, that was so sweet, thank you, I feel like you're one of the few people who actually understands me." I replied,
He started blushing like crazy.
"I hope you know that I'll always be here for you Miley, no matter what" he confirmed.
"I know, I always feel safe with you near" I responded.
Heidi came back with my water.
"Here you go" she said handing me the cup
"Thank you so much" I said
"You know, I think you are the most polite person I've ever nursed" she stated
"You're definitely the coolest nurse I've ever had, although I haven't had that many" I said smiling.
"Hey, I was wondering, is Joe single?" she asked.
"He sure is" Nick answered.
"Really, do you think he'd be interested in me?"
"Girl, he's already interested in you" I said laughing.
"OMG really?" she squealed
"Yup!" Me and Nick said in unison.
"You guys would make a perfect couple!" I exclaimed.
"Eeep! You guys would make a cute couple too." She stated
I looked at nick and his face was so red. He tried turning the other direction so I couldn't see. I slowly felt my face heat up, and I was glad he wasn't looking, I'm sure my face was just as red. I wasn't really sure how to respond to that comment either.
"Umm… we're just friends" I said
"Yeah, plus you have Jordan" she replied
"I sure do" I said smiling. She left the room
"Well, that was awkward" Nick laughed uneasily
"Yeah, a little bit" I responded.
"Well, I should go, you need your rest. Joe and Kevin will come get you tomorrow around noon, and then I'll see you when we get out of school." He said
"Ok, I'll see you tomorrow, goodnight" I replied
"Goodnight Miley" and with that he left.
I fell asleep almost immediately.
AN- ok so this was an eleven page chapter, so if you could please review and let me know what you think, that would be really helpful.
