Chapter 12
Miley.
"I want to go swimming."
"No."
"Just-"
"No."
I sighed sitting on the beach building a seriously high sandcastle with Adam while Kevin did a scene. It was hot again today and I really wanted to go out into the sea, however I still had one more freaking scene to film which meant I couldn't go in the water until I finished. So instead Adam and I sat on the beach building what had become a multi-storey castle waiting for the director to call us onto the beach set. Mom thankfully wasn't here today and I had invited Nick to come down so we could hang out on the beach after I was done...that was if I even finished. I smiled tracing my fingers through the sand drawing a heart shape as I gazed absently across the packed beach...
"What's with the smile?" Adam questioned and I turned looking at him, "And drawing hearts everywhere?"
I blushed letting out a giggle, "Nothing."
"Yeah right, you're thinking about your prince charming again aren't you?" He questioned as I shrugged, "So how is Nick doing, hopefully still cleaning the pool?"
"Yes, he is…"
"Your mom still has no idea?" He questioned.
"She is speculating but she doesn't know for certain. Today however I want to make if official with him, so that's why I invited him to come down to the beach today after filming." I explained, knowing the paparazzi were all crowed at the gates watching us. I'd had enough of them assuming I was on a wild rampage of hooking up with guys in clubs, I mean it was one time with Nick yet they'd blown it out of proportion.
"Does he know that?"
"Yes."
"He's okay with it?"
"Nick will be fine, why are you interrogating me?" I questioning frowning at Adam who just shrugged and I leaned on him over onto him.
"Because you don't have a protective big brother and that's what Kevin and me are for…" Adam explained and wrapped his arm around me, "We got to look out for our young superstar sister don't we?"
"I'm not a superstar."
"You were a superstar the moment you were born Miley." Adam muttered,
I frowned thinking about it, okay Adam had a point but I didn't see myself as a superstar. I saw myself as Miley who got stuck in the wrong family and was in love with Nick, not Miley the most likely to enter rehab because of her partying ways.
"MILEY!" I heard a scream right behind me.
I frowned shaking my head, wait that voice must have been in my head, right? "I think I'm hearing things because that sounded like my mom…" I whispered as Adam gave an awkward laugh and nodded behind us. I looked up to see mom hovering over me, a fake grin across her plastic face...
"I thought you were in Jamaica or Alabama, or-"
"I was in Canada Miley."
"I knew it was something with an a on the end." I stated absently looking up as her eyes locked on Adam's arm around me.
"Hands off my daughter."
Adam dropped his hand giving another awkward laugh. "Sorry."
"Move boy."
Adam was up in seconds and gave me a apologetic look heading for the safety net of craft services, I pushed myself off the sand turning to look at my mom annoyed. "Mom I was having a conversation with Adam, why did you just have to interrupt me like that? He was doing nothing wrong-"
"He had his hands-"
"Around my waist!" I yelled at her frowning,
She stared at me flicking her hair giving me an over dramatic sigh, "Your sister accidentally let slip that you have a boyfriend Miley." She stated giving me a deathly glare, "You really think having a boyfriend is a good thing at the moment, after what happened to-"
"I AM TRYING TO MOVE ON!" I yelled at her looking away.
"Moving on would be you telling us who-"
"For once in your life mom, just fuck off and stay out of my personal life!"
I saw the absolute look of betrayal in her eyes, but I didn't care I'd just had enough of the crap she put me through. I turned and walked away down the beach trying to get away from my stupid bitch of a mother who would never understand me. She just had no idea what I went through and the only thing that made me start to feel normal again was Nick. I owed him more then I would ever be able to repay, Nick had saved me from hating the world something I never thought had been possible after that night. I kicked the sand thinking of mom and Taylor, they were so much a like it drove me crazy! Ever since my birthday it was like they just wanted to make my life a living hell.
"Hey where are you going?"
I turned and looked up smiling, "Getting away from the devil herself, hey gorgeous." I stated smiling at my hero and he pulled me into hug kissing the side of my head. It was like when I needed Nick…he was just there and he didn't try to understand me because Nick just got it automatically.
"You okay? You're mom is here I thought you said she was in Africa?"
"Supposedly she was in Canada."
"So she's on set?" Nick asked as I gazed over,
"Uhuh."
"We still doing this?"
"Uhuh."
"Okay, now I'm nervous."
I smiled up at him pushing my hands through his curls, "Oh and I have to tell you about the college issue..."
"She told your parents?"
Nick looked at me worried and I shook my head, "No she didn't, that's the good news. Bad news is Tay wants me to tell them."
"Miley you should." He whispered and I groaned.
"I don't want too."
"I know that, but lying is stupid Miley." He whispered and I felt a twinge inside of me, "And you know in the long run they're going to find out. You never know Miley they might be happy for you..."
I snorted looking at Nick's gorgeous eyes, "You kidding?"
Nick laughed giving me a light kiss on the lips, "I was being optimistic, but you never know."
"Oh I know my mother."
"Yeah me too, so when you tell her maybe have a very close escape route."
I laughed smiling at him as Nick brushed some of the hair out of my face, "Actually talking about the topic of music I was thinking…I have this track and I want you to sing on it."
Nick.
Miley looked at me confused, her eyes focusing on mine. I knew she'd need convincing but I really wanted Miley to sing on my final.
"Sing?" She whispered hesitantly,
"Yep, I have this music final thing to do which is due soon. I've done the whole thing but I still really need someone to sing on it. And I know you must have an amazing voice because well...you are amazing, so pretty please will you do it for your adorable boyfriend?" I explained hopeful she would accept, Miley looked at me and shrugged,
"I don't know Nick."
"I'll let you have your way with me."
"As much as I like the sound of that..." She whispered smirking at me.
"Please?"
"Ok." She stated giving a nod, "Only because you are adorable."
I stared at her surprised, wow that was so much easier then I thought it would be, maybe I was better at convincing girls then I thought. "Really?" I asked leaning towards her, "So that's definitely a yes? You're not just saying that and then going to go back on your word are you?"
"Yes Nick." She stated smiling at me.
"So you don't want to do it?"
Miley groaned throwing her body onto mine, cuddling into it. "Yes I will do it, no I won't go back on my word."
"Great! Then how about next week some time?" I asked and Miley nodded giving me an enthusiastic smile, wow she was actually into this! "We'll work the date out later but for now you got to show me around this beach. I've never been on a movie set before…."
Miley gave a laugh offering her hand, "We'll I know this one back to front seeing as I practically live here!"
"Well if it isn't lover boy…"
We both turned around to see Adam walking over to us with a huge pile of food on a plate, "Miley was just talking about you Nick, she hasn't shut up for the past hour about how amazing, beautiful and gorgeous Nick is."
"Shut up I wasn't, it was only like two minutes." Miley hissed.
"It felt like an hour."
Adam offered me his hand, which I quickly shook, "Good to see you again Mr. pool cleaner, did you get the heads up psycho bitch is here?" Adam asked as I wrapped my arm back around Miley.
"Yes, which is great." I muttered sarcastically.
"Want the good news or the bad news Miley?" Adam asked looking at her.
"Bad."
"Your sister just turned up."
"WHAT!" Miley yelled at him letting out a groan, "It's like where ever I go they just follow, it's driving me mental. I mean if I wanted them to come I would have invited them, okay what's the good news? It better be good or I'm going to slap you Adam!"
"You're done for the day, seems we are behind schedule…again."
"Fantastic!" Miley stated leaning on me, "That means we can go swimming now! Thanks Adam, I'll see you tomorrow." She moved away from me and hugged Adam carefully dodging the food as I looked away not wanting to look like a jealous boyfriend...but I was.
"Yeah I'll see ya, bye Nick don't let her drown."
Adam turned walking off as Miley turned grinning at me. "Okay so the question is now for you Nick, would you rather me wear my bikini into the water or what I have on right now?" Miley questioned looking at me. I stared at her long legs and perfect body with only a tight pair of denim shorts and a small tank top on, which displayed a lot of her mid drift, she just looked so hot and I wanted the clothes off.
My eyes drifted back to her face smirking, "Do I even need to answer?"
"Fine, but you need to be shirtless."
"Done deal."
Miley had her shorts off in seconds as I looked over at one of the huge security fences with screaming fans behind it only a few hundred feet away. I reluctantly pulled off my shirt and Miley giggled, I turned to see she'd already stripped down and was wearing a very colorful bikini, which was clearly for the movie.I stared at her amazed at how entranced I was in her, I was under Miley's spell and I was loving every second of it. I leaned forward to kiss her only to feel nervous with so many people watching...
"You scared of the fans Nicky?" She teased staring into my eyes.
"No, I'm just intimidated by them-"
"So you're scared?"
I looked at her frowning as she put her hands on her hips. "You don't need to be intimidated by them, you're hot and you're mine. So those bitches on the other side of the fence can take a step back because you're my Nick and they aren't getting any of you."
I laughed at her and wrapped my arms around her waist, tightening my grip so she couldn't get away.
"You sure you want to make us official?"
Miley looked at me and nodded, "I am, you're my boyfriend plus I don't want everyone thinking I'm a slut for hooking up with a random in a club. Not to mention I want to stop being related back to my sister for once...I want my own drama." I moved my head towards her as I caught a glimpse of blonde hair behind Miley.
"Well your sister is standing right here."
We both separated and turned to see Taylor standing there, with Tish. Oh shit.
"And your mother…" Tish added.
I dropped my hands from Miley's waist as she let out a groan staring at them annoyed, "I was having a private conversation with my boyfriend, could both of you just disappear or I will have you personally kicked off set." Miley stated with confidence, I looked at her impressed she didn't seem the type to stand up to her mom before I came along.
Tish's eyes however were directly on me and I could just see the thick drug of annoyance running through her veins. "You signed a contract boy, you were stupid enough not to read it and one of the rules was clearly stated that you were not to have any relationships with either of my daughters. And Miley is my daughter! " Tish hissed, wow maybe that explained why it was so long...
"I'm sorry-"
"You're fired and Miley I forbid you from seeing this boy!"
"WHAT?" We both yelled shell shocked.
"YOU CAN'T FORBID ME FROM DOING ANYTHING MOM! AND NICK IS NOT FIRED, YOU ARE BEING SO STUPID!" Miley screamed, "Calm the hell down mom, he's my boyfriend okay. Nick is a great person and you even said so yourself the other night, what's so wrong with me dating him?"
"HE'S FIRED AND THAT'S IT MILEY. I'VE MADE IT VERY CLEAR I DON'T WANT YOU DATING ANY BOYS AT THE MOMENT, YOU ARE LIVING UNDER MY ROOF AND I'M PROVIDING FOR YOU SO THEREFORE IF I SAY I FORBID IT THEN YOU ABIDE." Tish screamed her face turning red in absolute rage, I stepped back looking at Taylor who just stared unsure what to say.
"What if I move out?" Miley retorted simply,
"Where would you go?"
"Anywhere is better then living with you mother! You know what I GIVE UP! I GIVE UP TRYING TO BE PERFECT. I'm finishing this film and that's it, I'm going to play music because it's what I love! I've been studying music at college mom not teaching like I told you…" Miley stated as Tish just stared at her horrified, "I DON'T WANT TO BE AN ACTOR I WANT TO BE A SINGER!"
"WAIT TILL I TELL-"
"He already knows about Nick mom, none of us told you! HE KNOWS I DON'T WANT TO BE AN ACTOR." She screamed at Tish again, "And until you accept that I will no longer be apart of this family."
"Then don't be, like I care. You've always been a self-centered brat! And when you achieve nothing in life, apart from being able to play a guitar don't expect me to let you back in the house!" Tish hissed. "You may be blood to me Miley, but you've never been my daughter..."
With that Tish turned around and paced away. There was just silence for a moment, except the screaming fans and the waves crashing onto the shore. I looked at Taylor as we both turned to Miley…only to see a single tear rolling down her red face. I leaned forward and kissed the side of her head bringing my girlfriend into a hug, she instantly started crying as I looked at Taylor. She was looking down the beach at Tish and then back to Miley, unsure of which side to choose and then finally she put her hand on Miley's crying shoulder.
"You can live with me Miles, no matter what." Taylor finally stated. "I love you, you're my little sister. Don't listen to mom okay..."
I looked at Taylor thankful as I rubbed Miley back protectively, and so it seemed blood was not thicker then water after all.
