Abused. Hurt. Alone.

Thanks a bunch for the support. The few people who review TIME AND TIME AGAIN make me really happy. I mean, I know its just one of my first stories, and I've been on fan fiction less than a year, but it takes like 20 seconds to review! Ok or cool is enough! AND YOU DON'T NEED AN ACCOUNT.

This chapter is all for MrsNickJJonas (I hope I got your pen name right) because she always reviews and its never mean, its always positive.

MILEYS POV

'Sam, can you get Okurimono ready please? I'm still packing.' I said, putting duct tape over yet another cardboard box.

This was it. The day we were permanently emigrating to Tennessee. We had decided to wait until Sam had had her birthday, likewise Okurimono. Due to the fact I was five months pregnant, it was going to be an extremely long road trip.

'Sam! Help me get boxes into the trailer. I got Okuri done a while ago. He's asleep in the carseat.' said Nick, picking up a box from next to me.

I turned to the pile next to me, and sure enough, Okurimono was lying asleep in his carseat.

I had just put Okurimono and Sam in the car, and I was staring at the apartment we were leaving.

The farm we'd bought was perfect. With a wall around the five acres of ground, the horse stables and the three fields next to the drive, I had no doubts about happiness. However, I did have doubts about fighting. Aunt Dolly and Mamaw, therefore my dad and Alex, lived less than a block away.

'Lets go.' said Nick in my ear, kissing my cheek quickly.

I climbed in the passenger door, and hit play on the CD player. Toxic was playing, so I lay back in the seat and started to read.

NICKS POV

We were in Arkansas a few days later when things started to go wrong. Miley couldn't hold any food down, and Okuri kept trying to eat his seatbelt.

'We should be in Tennessee by midnight.' I announced, 'The border is about an hour away.

'A week in a car. I cant wait to get there.' Sam smiled gratefully.

'Yeah. I have a surprise for you.' Miley nodded. Little did Sam know, but Miley had moved Tally into the loose box at our new place, along with another filly for Sam, as a gift to make up for her challenging past.

MILEYS POV

Finally. We were here. Again. We had been down last month and had it all decorated, we just had to put the furniture in.

'I'll do the bedrooms.' said Sam eagerly. 'Okuri's first, so we can put him to sleep.' She handed me Okurimono and ran off and found the boxes labelled 'O's room and S's room'.

'I'll get the kitchen and living room then. Miley, you do our bedroom. Its easiest considering that you just need to put the ornaments and clothes away.' instructed Nick. I nodded, and done it in a very short time.

'Nick! Can you come help me with this?' I heard Sam yell.

'Yeah, I've done down here.' he replied, running upstairs.

'I'm taking Okurimono to see Aunt Dolly and Mamaw.' I said out of boredom.

I lifted him into his stroller and walked down the stone drive. I turned left at the bottom of the road, and soon heard footsteps.

'Miley! I'm coming too. I just keep getting in Nicks way. He didn't say that, but I can tell.' panted Sam, still running as she yelled. I stopped and let her catch up with me.

'We'll be meeting my sister and my dad. Are you ok with that?' I asked her.

'I think your dad is a dick, and I've never met your sister.' Sam replied promptly.

'Agreed. And my sister Alex is very like my dick of a dad.' I laughed, letting

Sam take Okurimono's stroller.

We walked up to my Mamaws door and went inside. It was the moment I stepped in the door that I remembered - they didn't know I was pregnant again.

'Mamaw! Aunt Dolly?' I called, taking off my coat.

'Looks like my judgement was right. Little sister cant keep her knickers on.' sneered Alex, walking up to me and patting my shoulder.

'Alex. No need for that. Its poodle boy we need to blame.' added my dad.

'You two shut up.' said Sam. She was tiny, but she was the fiercest in any fight. Her weapons were words, teeth, nails and limbs.

'And what are you going to do, little girl?' asked Alex. The next thing I knew I was watching my 'daughter' throw my sister against a wall.

I was herded into the living room by Mamaw.

'Its ok. Dolly's away to market.' she assured me, sitting me on a chair on the other side of the room from my dad. Sam came in, tears streaming down her face and her knuckles covered in blood.

'Im ok. Alex is too.' she said, accepting the tissue from Mamaw.

'Come here.' I said, pulling her onto my lap.

'Miley, I cant I'll hurt you.' she said anxiously.

'No, you wont. You're as light as a feather and I'm not in any real danger until next month.' I told her, firmly holding her on my lap.

'Something you're not telling us?' asked my dad, a grim smile on his face.

'The little sluts pregnant again.' sniffed Alex, walking in, trying to stop the blood from the many scratches on her face.

Sam growled. Alex sat next to my dad.

'Miley? Are you ok? I saw blood in the hall.' asked Nick, appearing next to me.

Sam jumped off my lap and started playing with Okurimono, who had woke up.

'I'm fine. Alex made a rude remark and Sam jumped her.' I assured him, hugging him.

'Ok. As long as you're ok.' he smiled, sitting down and pulling me onto his lap.

'No wonder shes pregnant.' growled my dad as Nick rested his hand on my knee.

'Fucking shut it.' I retorted. I wasn't a scared teenager anymore. I could stand up to him.

'Unbeknown to you, but I actually enjoy my life!' I yelled. 'My life, is none of your business, whether you're my dad or not! You neglected and abused me. You nearly killed me too many times.'

'Calm down.' Nick whispered in my ear. He knew I had a tendency to ramble on when I got angry.

I stopped and started to try and calm down.

'I'm home!' calls Aunt Dolly, coming in the door. 'Theres a pie in the oven, it should be ready. Go sit at the table.'

I went and sat on one bench, Sam opposite me with Mamaw and Aunt Dolly, Okurimono was in his high chair, on my left, Nick on my right. Alex sat on one end of the table, and my dad opposite her.

'Its ok, Miles.' Nick whispered in my ear, wrapping his arm around my waist. I shuffled closer to him.

Aunt Dolly passed out the plates and I started to feed Okurimono. He was halfway through when Nick tapped my back.

'I'll feed him the rest, you eat.' I accepted this offer and swapped seats with him. Thank goodness Okurimono wasn't a fussy baby who only let his mum change or feed him.

'So, Miley, do you want a girl or a boy?' asked Mamaw.

'You're pregnant, congratulations, Mi!' exclaimed Aunt Dolly.

'I want a girl. I don't know why, I just feel like I want a girl.' I said truthfully.

'Maternal instinct. I'll be darned if you don't have a girl now.' said Aunt Dolly.

Yey! The conflict is *almost* over and this story is coming to an end! It depends, but I usually end stories between 15-20 chapters.
