Later that night there was a knock on the door. I let Jenna get because it wasn't my house and because it was probably the reporter. That's when I heard Joe say hello to Jenna and walk into the house. I just felt like laying there. I didn't move off my bed. Jenna would show him where to go.
"He's in there." I heard Jenna say as she went into her room. That's when the door opened a crack and Joe walked in.
You make me drive all the way up here for a nice dinner with your brother and you don't even come down to greet me. You're normal again!" I just laughed and sat up.
"No. I knew that Jenna would show you where to go. It's nice to see ya Joe." I got up and gave him a "man hug" as he preferred to call them.
"So what's the real story? Why am I here? I know you didn't miss me that much." A smile spread across his face. I motioned for him to sit down. My face was blank.
"It all started when I moved in, Jenna and I started talking and growing closer. And not to long ago we started dating, well two nights ago things got serious. We started talking, and then we stopped and things started-" I was interrupted by the door bell ringing. I heard Jenna leave her room to go get the door. "Long story short, that's a reporter at the door." Joe started clenching and unclenching his fists. Pissed was written all over his face.
"She would really do that to you? Who the hell does she think she is?" Outside the door we heard two pairs of feet walk into Jenna's room. And then one left right away. Joe got up and tore open the door. He caught Jenna closing the door behind her. "What the hell do you think you're doing?"
She was instantly shocked. "I'm was going to make dinner for us." She tried to look innocent.
"Who's in that room?" Joe had her cornered.
"See for yourself." Was all she said before she ducked under Joe's arm and left for the kitchen.
(JOE'S POINT OF VIEW)
I opened the door, not seeing anyone at first, and then someone sniffled. The bed was pushed against the wall and sitting on it was Miley. Her eyes were red and blotchy, her hands were shaking and her nose was running. I walked more into the room closing the door behind me, Nick didn't need to hear any of this. "Miley." I whispered. "What happened?" She looked up from her shoes to look at me.
"Everything. And I lost it all." I sat down on the bed beside her, and held her hand.
"What are you talking about? What did you lose?" I felt so bad seeing her sitting there, destroyed. A few tears escaped and she took a deep breath before she told me everything. She told me why she was here, what happened before, and all of the misery that she had been in. When she finished my arm was around her and her head was on my chest. "You know he still loves you right? After you two broke up he never ate and he started to never sleep. Some nights he would stay by the toilet for days, others he spent all day in his room, just writing. He was never really some what normal until he got away from the family. But even then, all he would do was sit there. Look off into no where. It was like he was dead, that's why I know that he still needs you. And I'm pretty sure Jenna Brought you to here to talk to him so he's in his room and if you ask me, he needs you right now." I gave her a hug and left the room.
(NICK'S POINT OF VIEW)
Joe hadn't come back for a while now. I was fine by myself. He would want me to tell him what happened between me and Jenna and I wasn't ready for that. But I also wasn't ready for what walked through the door. "Nick?" Miley was there. Standing in my doorway. I got up and gave her a fake smile, she didn't need to know.
"Hey." I pulled her into my arms for a friend hug. It wasn't meant to be anything more and I knew she didn't want it to be, but then that's what she made it. She pulled me pulled me closed and rested her head on my chest. She cringed a little at how my bones stuck out from under my skin but she still held on. She pulled away then, way to fast and looked at me.
"We need to talk."
