Things to Tell
Chapter Fourteen - Welcome to Crazytown
The title of the last chapter was a line from the movie Juno. At the start when she's at the shop.
I am very slow on the uptake here, but I just read a webpage saying when Miley turns 18, her and Liam are moving in together, in Miley's house, with NO ADULTS! -dies-. Anyone else think we should try and get Liam deported back to kangunkey (kangaroo x monkey) land? Its almost June! Almost the 11th of June! That's special for two reasons - the most important NILEY DAY! And the less important, the kick off for the FIFA 2010 world cup.
'False alarm. I took another test.' Miley told Tish.
'Hmm. I still think we should go to the doctor and get you an actual blood test.' Tish said, grabbing Miley's hand.
'Its no big deal. Do you know where Nick and Hayley went?'
'He took her to the park with Storm.'
Miley walked through the park, her mind wandering. She snapped back to reality when Storm ran at her, causing her to lose her balance and fall over.
'Whoa! Are you ok?' Nick asked, running over to help her up.
'Yeah. I'm fine.' Miley grimaced, but Nick could tell she was lying. He knew her too well.
'No, you're not.' Nick said, grabbing her hand and pulling her up.
'I am fin- shit.' Miley mumbled, a sharp pain flying through her left ankle.
'Hayley! Storm! Hurry over here.' Nick yelled. Hayley ran over, clapping so Storm would follow her.
'Well, I'm Cara. Miss Stewart, I will be your nurse.' Cara introduced herself.
'Hello, Cara. Call me Miley, and this is my boyfriend Nick.' Miley replied, smiling slightly, the pain in her foot still overwhelming.
'We're going to take an x-ray of your ankle, is that ok with you?' Cara asked.
'Yeah. Its no problem.' Miley said.
'Well, in that case we have to ask you two questions. One, sign here-' Cara tapped at the clipboard and Miley scribbled her name in.
'And number two?' asked Miley.
'Is there any chance you could be pregnant? Because if you are, you need to tell us, the rays could be fatal.'
'Im unsure. I've taken six tests. Four have been negative, but two positive.' Miley said, biting her tongue.
'We'll get you a blood test then. If you could hold your arm out to me?'
Miley held her arm out, and clutched Nick's hand with her free one as the cold needle found its way into her vein.
'This day just keeps getting better and better.' Miley said sarcastically. 'I was pregnant, then I wasn't. Then I have a broken ankle, and I'm 100% pregnant.'
Nick chuckled, earning himself a slap from Miley.
'We're going to get through this, don't worry.' he said, kissing the side of her head.
'I know. I'm just worrying about how Hayley will take this.' Miley mumbled, lying back on the bed.
'She'll be fine. I bet she'll be overjoyed.'
'But how are my parents going to take this. I never told my dad from the start, and mum currently thinks I'm not pregnant.'
'Do you want to tell them now and get it over and done with?' Nick asked, rubbing Miley's palm with the pad of his thumb.
'Will you come with me and hold my hand?'
'If you want me to.'
'Lets go then.' Miley said, getting up and dragging Nick with her.
They walked along the hall, and the downstairs. Nick fingered the painting hanging on the wall. It was of a cat, and Miley had painted it when she was five.
'I'm a good artist, arent I?' Miley laughed.
'To be truthful, stick to the guitar.'
Miley slapped him, and they walked into the kitchen.
'Daddy?' Miley mumbled. It was a famous trait of hers. In public she would say 'father' or 'dad' but when she was in her own company, the only paternal word that passed her lips was 'daddy'.
'Are you ok sweetie?' Billy Ray asked, looking at his daughter.
Nick grabbed Miley's hand tightly. Miley glanced down, and when she looked back up, she was smiling and she was blushing slightly.
'Well, I kind of need to tell you something, but I'm not exactly sure how to.'
'You know you can tell me anything, Miles.' Billy Ray said.
'I'm pregnant.' Miley mumbled, leaning against Nick.
'Miley, I'm not mad, and I'm not going to get mad.' Billy Ray said firmly.
'That's a relief.' Miley sighed, playing with her bracelet.
She kissed Nick on the cheek then went upstairs.
'Have you asked her yet?' Billy Ray asked Nick.
'No. You told me to wait until it feels right, and now isn't right. If I do it now, she'll think I'm just doing it for the sake of Hayley and the unborn.' Nick replied. 'There is no doubt about the fact that I'm sure in my heart, but in life, im waiting for the right situation.'
'Where did she find you?'
'In a sandpit.' Nick chuckled. He thought back to the day they had met. They had been three, but he could remember it clearly.
Nick was sitting on top of a slide, shaking with fear.
'Hurry up, Nick!' Denise coaxed, standing at the bottom.
Nick closed his eyes and slid down.
'Ahhh!.' he exclaimed, getting up and running over to the other end of the park, where Miley and Tish were.
'it's a fairy castle, mum. Theres a princess in that room.' Miley explained, poking the sandcastle with her finger.
'That's good. Is her name Princess Miley?' Tish joked.
'Nu-uh. Princess Beauty.'
'Well, I think someone else wants to play with you, Miley.' Tish smiled. Miley turned around and saw Nick standing behind her.
'I'm Miley.' she smiled, standing up and dusting the sand from her legs.
'I'm Nick.' he replied.
'Have you been on the slide yet?' Miley asked. Tish was watching in the corner. She couldn't hear what they were saying, but by expression, she knew Miley wasn't giving him a chance to talk.
'Yeah. Its really scary though.' he mumbled. She looked at him.
'I want to go on it, but I think it looks scary.'
'Maybe if we went down it at the same time it wouldn't be.' Nick suggested, remembering what Joe and Kevin had done earlier.
'That's a good idea. You're really smart.' she smiled.
'Not really, my brothers Joe and Kevin done it earlier. Do you want to try it?'
'Yeah.'
The two children ran across the park, then up the rope-ladder to the platform. The firemans' pole was on their right, the slide on their left. Miley warily sat on the top of the slide. Nick came up behind her and grabbed her waist.
'Are you ready?' he asked. She nodded and they slid down.
'That was ok. I still don't think I could do it myself though.'
Joe and Kevin were running around with their water pistols.
'Look at that!' Joe exclaimed, pointing at Nick and Miley.
'Baby Nicky has a girlfriend!' Kevin said.
'Lets go tell mum and embarrass him.' Joe smirked, dropping the water pistol and running.
'Oi! Wait up!' yelled Kevin, running after his younger brother.
'Mum! Look at Nick! He's found himself a girlfriend!' Joe and Kevin yelled, their words jumbling up.
'He's THREE, for petes sake!' Denise grumbled.
Nick jumped onto the roundabout, and started spinning it.
'I'm not that fast!' Miley complained. Nick grabbed her hand and pulled her onto the roundabout.
'Do you have any brothers or sisters?' Nick asked.
'No.' Miley replied.
'I only have Joe and Kevin.' Nick mumbled. 'I've always wanted a sister though because I'd hope she'd be nice to me.'
'Well, you have me now. We're going to be best friends. So I'll be like your sister.'
'y-you want to be my friend?' Nick stuttered, shocked. He lived in a street full of children his age, but not one had asked him to play. Ever.
'Yeah. I'll get my mum to talk to your mum.' Miley smiled.
'MILEY!' called Tish. 'We're going now!'
'Aww! But mum, I'm playing with Nick!' Miley moaned.
'NICK!' Denise yelled. 'We need to go!'
'I'm playing with Miley!' Nick shouted back.
Both Denise and Tish walked over to their children.
'I'll play with you again. Ok?' Miley smiled as she followed Tish.
'New friend?' Denise asked Nick, lifting him up.
'Yeah.' he smiled.
'She lives just up the street from us. They moved in last week.' Denise told Nick.
Well, My exams are over, and I promised a long chapter, and I call this long!
