Chapter 12
Miley POV
So Nick had got my whole family together, I wasn't sure how he'd done it but every single person was coming to dinner tonight. I didn't know why but as I walked down my old driveway towards my parents house, I couldn't help but feel so nervous at what was about to happen inside. We knew someone was pregnant, most likely my mom, who had been fighting with dad, which raised even more questions. Most of all I just wanted everything out in the open, no more secrets. Except of course mine, wasn't telling anyone that tonight.
"Miles" I heard a voice yell and I turned around smiling to see Trace jogging down the driveway,
We were both late, which was good it didn't make me look like the really bad sibling...
"Hey, how are you?" I asked and he pulled me into a hug,
"Worried."
"Yeah me to." I mumbled as he hit his fist on the door,
"What about you? I've heard you've been having a lot of problems as well..." Trace stated and I frowned looking at him shaking my head,
"No, not really who told you that?"
"Noah said you had a fight with Nick?" He questioned.
I opened my mouth to explain, but luckily I was saved and the door opened just in time. I gave a huge smile looking at dad in the doorway, he didn't look really impressed though gazing between us.
"You're late" He stated as I just smiled,
"I'm not late, you're just early." I replied jokingly, and walked past him into the house.
I suddenly felt a hand grasp my upper arm and I spun to see dad staring at me annoyed,
"Don't say things like that Miley." He hissed as I shook my head.
"Dad I was just joking around, I know I'm late."
I pulled my arm away from him, dad just looked away though and gave a huff. An awkward silence fell between the the three of us, I just stared at dad confused...since when didn't he get my jokes?
"Okay then so where is everyone?" Trace asked quickly,
"In the dining room" He mumbled and Trace grabbed my arm quickly pulling me along,
"That was seriously weird, he went mad at you. He never goes mad at you." Trace muttered staring at me and I shrugged, I didn't understand it either.
"I know…" I mumbled completely confused.
Trace opened the door for me as we walked in gazing around at the family. Brandi instantly jumped up giving me a huge grin and rushed over pulling me into a hug,
"How are you Miles? I heard you had a fight with Nick, you okay now?" She whispered in my ear as I frowned,
I gave a sigh, I was going to have to shut Noah up...how did everyone know?
"Did Noah tell you that?"
"No Ryan Seecrest told me on E news, so it is true? Supposedly he was at your house or something and you got like fifteen bunches of roses from him?" She asked and I gave a sigh moving away from her,
"All true, I'll talk to you about it late./" I stated and moved onto Noah who gave me a hug as I hugged her back then Braison,
I finally came to mom who just stared at me, neither of us made a move to hug. I could see the same anger in her eyes that dad had in his, something was seriously wrong and I was staring to regret coming tonight. I just wanted to be at home with Nick cuddling on the couch and not sorting out my family problems...but it needed to be done, I knew that.
"Miley good to see you," Mom stated as I just stared at her, we hadn't really been on the best terms since she walked out of the set.
"Yes good to see you too."
"Okay have a seat." Dad ordered forcefully as we quickly all did,
I sat down next to Brandi who instantly squeezed my hand in support, and I smiled as we all gazed at mom and dad.
"Right well we invited you over to have dinner, but we will not be eating." Dad stated as I instantly frowned looking at him. "There is no point in sugar coating what is going to be happening."
"Dad..." Braison whispered worried.
"Your mother and me have decided we can no longer live under the same roof, so we will be getting a divorce." Dad stated bluntly,
I instantly let go of Brandi's hand and just stared down at the table, what?
"What? Why?" Noah stated instantly really upset,
"Because your mother cheated on me, and now she's pregnant!" Dad hissed as I let my mouth drop and turned looking at both of them in shock…
No way.
"What? How could you mom?" Braison yelled.
They were getting a divorce? After all this time, they were just going to throw it all away? I didn't really know how to react, I just felt it wasn't possible.
"I was drunk okay, I'd had a busy day with Miley and I needed something…someone and Billy you weren't there. You are never here…" Mom stated harshly as I sunk down into my chair…
So this was my fault my parents were splitting up? And that my mom was pregnant...
"MOM HOW COULD YOU?" Braison screamed as they all began to fight but I just sat emotionless letting the thoughts run wild through my head.
I could hear the screaming and yelling but I ignored it as a plate smashed sending a pit of white porcelain onto my lap. I gazed down at it and slowly picked the piece up tracing my finger along the sharp edge…where had everything broken down? Was it me who had caused this? With my stupid career? I looked up and watched the first punch thrown, to my surprise it was between Braison and Trace who both fell to the floor continuing to hit each other, while Dad was screaming at them to stop with Brandi. I looked over at mom with tears running down her face watching the commotion, I didn't care about her right now…she was a cheater, just like me. Then I gazed at Noah sitting opposite me crying and nodded for her to come with me, she looked scared…she shouldn't have to deal with this.
"Come on, let's go get take away, you can stay with me tonight." I whispered, she most likely didn't hear me but she got the idea and stood up with me. We both headed for the door, no one even noticed we were leaving. I pulled my arm around her shoulders as she continued to cry…
"I want to live with you Miley!" She demanded pleadingly,
I looked down to see her staring up at me terrified, "Please I don't want to live here anymore, please! Let me live with you!"
Nick POV
"I wonder how it's all going?" Demi asked,
The three of us sat eating dinner, we'd just finished off the last of the wedding plans without the bride which was strange. I sighed thinking about tonight, hopefully everything did get sorted out.
"I hope it does, I don't know how much longer I can see Miley looking so sad" I stated with a sigh, "At the moment it's like she has taken everything on her shoulders. I love everything about Miles, but I just wish sometimes she didn't have this feeling of obligation to fix everyone's problems."
"It's Miley she always does that, but hopefully after tonight that will be one less thing. Then we can move onto what else needs to be done." Demi stated as I nodded in agreement, "I can't believe how soon the wedding is, I mean the beach has been found, the dresses and suits are ready…everything is ready." She continued with a huge grin looking at me as I nodded,
"I know I'm so excited, nervous but excited" I stated giving a small laugh as they both looked at me,
"This is good, finally you'll have your fairytale wedding."
"I know, it's more telling everyone else that's the main issue at the moment" I stated thinking about the backlash we were going to receive from everyone, including our families and the public.
"What about a honeymoon?" Joe asked looking at me as I gazed at Demi,
"Kind of forgot about that, guess we won't be having one. I have work, so does Miles. Plus I think that will look a little obvious if we disappeared at the same time." I stated giving a small laugh.
"You can have one later, but you still need to have one Nick!" Demi warned me as I nodded.
"Yeah I know we will, when everything comes out."
"God, won't that be a fun day for the two families." Joe stated with a laugh as I heard the doorbell ring,
"Yeah I know right can you imagine it? The media will kill all of us. If mom and dad don't first."
I jumped up heading for the door leaving the other two to their dinner, and walked to the front door opening it with a smile. I looked at my gorgeous fiance, happy she was home but then I saw her face and my smile was instantly gone. I then noticed Noah was asleep in her arms, I was amazed Miley had been able to carry her...
"Can you take her?" Miley asked,
I looked at her black expression and frightfully pale skin and gazed down as the sleeping girl in her arms. I nodded taking my soon to be sister in law away and gazed down at her tear stricken sleeping face,
"What happened?" I whispered and Miley just walked inside ignoring me and heading straight for the couch,
"DEMI, JOE HELP PLEASE" I yelled quickly, thankfully not waking Noah.
"Miles what happened?" I asked moving over to her as the couple rushed out and I instantly passed Noah off onto Joe, "Take Nick upstairs put her in the spare bedroom."
"They're getting divorced" Miley stated loudly staring across the room, "My mom cheated on dad with another man, she's pregnant."
"Oh" Demi whispered and moved over to Miley straight away as Joe headed upstairs,
"Braison and Trace started a punching fight…No one even noticed when we left" Miley whispered her voice finally cracking, I sat down next to her and she let out a sob.
I sighed giving Demi a look wrapping my arm around her, I'd thought this was a good idea but I think I'd just made it worse. I pulled her body closer to mine and tried to sooth Miles, but I knew there wasn't a lot that could be done to fix this.
"She was drunk because she'd spent all day with me! That was her explanation..." Miley whispered as I watched more tears roll down her face.
"Oh honey, I'm sure this wasn't your fault…" Demi instantly stated as Miley gave a laugh,
"I don't care if it was my fault or not…"
"Miles..." I whispered stroking her hair,
"It's more that they were in love, how can that just end?" She whispered biting down on her lip as Demi shot me a look and I leaned forward kissing Miley on the head.
"Then they weren't meant for each other, not like we are." I whispered and she nodded looking at me as I brushed some hair from Miley's face,
"We aren't like them right? We aren't are we?" She whispered her voice quivering and I shook my head bringing her into a hug as she kept crying.
I looked at Demi, who stood up giving me a weak smile.
"No, no Miley we're not." I whispered kissing her neck. "We aren't, I love you and I know I would never in my life cheat on you."
"Don't you see Nick, I'm just like her" Miley stated pushing away from me as I looked at her scared face, "I'm cheating on you every single day, and the worst thing is you're letting me do it with no penalty what so ever."
"Miley that's different…" I started and she shook her head,
"No it isn't, no I'm just the same as my slut of a mother! You deserve better then me nick." She whispered and I gave a sigh kissing her head,
"No you deserve better then me Miley, and you are not a slut…no way, you are an angel. My angel." I whispered as she let out another sob and I gazed to see Demi has disappeared upstairs,
"I'm ending it tomorrow, the media will have their story. My parents are getting divorced, it put pressure on me and therefore I broke up with Liam." She whispered like she had it all planned out.
"Are you sure?" I whispered even though I wanted her to break up with him,
"Deadly…" She whispered.
"What about Noah?" I asked and Miley sat up looking at me,
"I don't know, she doesn't want to live with them, she can just live with me I suppose..."
"How about we tell her?" I suggested giving Miley a smile, "We tell her about us, and then we can just live in one house all together okay. After tomorrow of course..." I whispered and she nodded,
"I like that idea, best thing I've heard all day."
