Chapter 11

Nick's POV

I see Joe come in the door.

"Hey Nick. Can I talk to you for a little bit?" He asks.

"Sure." I say as I turn off my music.

"Thanks for taking care of my sister." He says.

"No problem. She's a nice girl if you look past her first impression. Everyone was scared of you two." I admit.

"Nick. I'm sorry if I ever said anything to hurt you. How about we become friends?" He says.

"I'd like that a lot Joe." I tell him as I shake his hand.

Joe's POV

"Joe, you know you can tell me anything." He says.

What a lie that is.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

He gets up on my bed and sits next to me.

"Joe, what is your Dad like? Because there is obviously something you're hiding something and it's best to get it off your chest." He tells me.

"Well Nick My Dad isn't the nicest person. He is an extreme alcoholic. He abused us until I was about 14 then I was the one who would fight him off my sister and Mom. He killed her while he was drunk. " I tell him as a tear falls down my face.

He pulls me into a hug, but not a fake hug like when I was at my old school, a real one that truly meant something. Maybe this place isn't as bad as I thought.

"Nick, I have to go I'll be back later." I state as I grab my laptop and my school bag.

Kevin's POV

I get a text message from Joe to meet him in the library.

"Dani, I got to go to the library so I can get a book for my biology report. I'll see you later." I lie as I give her a kiss to see if it would make me feel less guilty of lying.

The verdict, No. It made me feel more guilty of lying.

I rush off to the library. I see Joe next to a desk in the very back of the library.

"What is it Joe? I was kinda busy but from your text it seemed urgent." I tell him.

"Dude, I don't know how much longer I can hide this from your brother. The guilt is killing me. We're friends and I really hate having to lie to him." I state.

"Joe, let's go up to the roof and talk to Mom and Dad about it." I state as he follows me.

Joe's POV

Kevin open up a video chat.

"Hello Kevin...And who is your friend there." Our Dad asks.

"I'm your son." I say.

"Oh, whatever. What the hell do you want? " He asks.

"Listen Pal! I have fought people who are much stronger then you and I'm not up for any bullshit! Now let's talk like calm people." I state.

"Well why are you calling me? I thought I got rid of you when I gave you away to my former friend." He snaps.

"Why did you give me up?" I ask.

"You were a mistake! I didn't want another kid yet I want another one a couple of years later." My "Dad" tell me.

"Wow! I thought I might get a second chance of having a good, loving and caring father." I say lowly.

"Dad, where is Mom." Kevin asks.

"One second Kevin. Denise! Come down here. Kevin and our unwanted son want to talk to us. I see my "Mom" come on the screen.

"Hello Mom." I say with a stinging heart.

Kevin puts his arm.

"Dani told me about your Foster Mom." Kevin says.

"Umm I'm not sure if I'm comfortable of calling you Mom and Dad yet." I say.

"It's ok Joe." Mom says.

"Yeah since I don't want you as my son!" Dad says.

"Kevin, don't start! I'm glad I get to see my lost son. Now what was your reason for calling since we don't usually get calls unless there is a reason." Denise says.

"Denise, I can't stand keeping this secret from Nick anymore. I know I've only know him for a few days but I have really bonded with him. Why can't we tell him?" I state.

"Well, I just don't want to tell him. He'll get scared that he'll be given up next." She says.

"Mom, I've been living with Nick for a long time and I know he won't be scared. He barely sees you or talks to you anyway." Kevin says.

"Get him up here. I want to be here when you tell him." Denise says.

Kevin grabs his phone and calls Nick up here. I see Nick come up.

"What's the important message? Oh hello Mom and Dad." Nick says.

"Hello my boy." Kevin Sr. says.

"Wait why is Joe here? Can you like go and leave us talk to our parents?" Nick asks.

"Nick, they are my parents too...I'm your brother." I state.

Miley's POV

"Oh it's not Danielle." Justin says.

"Justin, GET OUT!" I yell.

"Miley you don't get it. I love you." He says.

"Well I hate you and your attitude!" I state.

"Come on baby, you don't mean that." He says as he tries to kiss me.

"No Justin! I mean it very much. Now get the hell away from me!" I yell.

"I don't think so sweetie. You need to understand that I'm controlling you right now and you will do as I say." Justin says.

I grab my laptop and I hit him in the head with it.

"Oww that sorta hurt. Now you'll pay for that!" Justin yells.

I run as fast as I can. I rush to the closest room which is Joe's. I lock the door. I stand at the door.

"Oh stupid Miley! Didn't know you wanted to skip to the fun part already. Remember I have a key to this room." He says as he puts his key into the lock.

Fuck! I forgot about that. I rush into their bathroom and I lock it. I hear him come in.

"You can't hide in there forever. Remember whatever Bieber wants, Bieber gets." He states as he bangs on the door.

I start to cry.
