Chapter 10 – Lost Love
"I'm so glad you're okay!" Miley exclaimed, bursting into tears at the sight of Nick.
Nick gestured Miley to come towards him and hugged her tightly with his right arm.
"I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'll never not listen to you again." Nick whispered placing kisses all over her face.
Miley kissed him back and Nick winced when he moved wrong.
"Oh Nick!" Miley cried out. Nick bit his lip and caught in the emotion, began to cry.
He held Miley tightly to his chest and she sobbed quietly.
"I love you. God, I love you so much." Nick choked through tears.
"I love you so much too. I could have lost you. I would have lost you." Miley said, wiping away Nick's tears.
Nick pressed his lips to Miley's. Through the tears, he still wanted to protect her more than ever.
"Miley?" Nick began, tearing his lips away from hers.
"Yes?" Miley asked, her eyes meeting his.
Nick sighed. "Did you see the concert?" he asked.
Miley smiled at his embarrassment. "That's the sweetest thing a guy has ever done for me on live television." She said softly.
Nick laughed and looped his fingers through hers. "Anytime, love. Anytime." He said, smiling.
Miley giggled. "I miss you." She whispered.
Nick looks confused. "But I'm right here." He mumbles.
Miley averts her eyes to his hand. "I still miss you." She replies.
Nick, still surprised, kisses her passionately, all thoughts of what could have happened weighing his mind.
Miley places her hand on his shoulder and kisses him back.
"I should go." She whispers, longing to stay.
"NO." Nick begged, pouting.
"Nick, I'll come back. They're releasing you tomorrow. They've done the tests. You're fine." Miley responded, sighing.
Nick grinned. "Goodbye, love." He says.
"Goodbye until tomorrow."
