Chapter 20 No More Lies?

Selena woke up with the sound of someone sobbing; it took her a while to realize it was her best friend moving around the room collecting things from around it. She opened her eyes wider and saw Miley quickly wipe her tears and put some clothes in a suitcase. She frowned as she got up and looked at her confused.

"What are you doing?"

"We're leaving." She told her quietly and completed crying.

"Why? What happened?" she asked confused as she got up and went beside her. Miley stopped her actions and looked at Selena with teary red eyes.

"Nick woke up." She said crying. Those three words were enough for Selena to understand what happened; seeing Miley's case. She knew that she must have spoken to him and it didn't go well. She pulled her in a hug and rubbed her back.

"It's gonna be okay, Miles." Selena told her as she shook her head violently.

"It won't. That's it. It's all over, Sel."

"How would you know that? You don't know what the future holds for you."

"But I know Nick, Selena. And let me tell you, I've never seen him like that."

"Why don't you tell me what happened?" She suggested as Miley looked back at what she was doing before Selena interrupt.

"Not now. When we go home. Help me with the packing." She told her best friend who nodded slowly and started moving the clothes from the closet to the suitcases. Silence filled the room except for Miley's silent crying which contained some loud sobs.

After finishing moving all their things they took with them before, they turned the lights of their shared room off and exited the door carrying their bags. They walked quietly and when they reached the bottom of the stairs, they heard someone calling. Miley looked up and saw Denise looking at them with a questioning confused look on her face.

"Where are you going?" She asked sweetly.

"Oh, you're awake. I didn't want to wake you up, you seemed tired, uh, Nick woke up." Miley told her forcing a smile but her eyes were still red, she just wished that Denise won't notice with that not too long distance between them.

"Really? Oh thank God." She said with a relieved sigh. "I'm going to see him." She said and turned around but then she remembered the original question that wasn't answered yet, she turned back and looked at the younger girls. "But you didn't answer, where are you going with those suitcases?"

"We, um, found an apartment." Selena said finding an excuse quickly.

"But, I thought you're staying with us longer." She woman said sadly as she stepped closer and Miley looked down trying to hide her teary eyes.

"We thought so too. But we already found another home. Thanks for having us though Mrs. Johansson." Miley told her and instantly she was pulled into a warm hug.

"Don't say that. I was glad you stayed with us. You are practically family, honey." The woman told her and pulled away from the hug and finally noticed Miley's expression. "Is everything okay, sweetie?"

"Yes, I'm fine. Just I'll miss living with you." She told her with a smile.

"I will too. But you'll visit, right?"

"Sure." She said but hesitated first, she brought her eyes to the woman to convince her she was being truthful while in fact she knew this was the last she would see her. "Aren't you visiting Nick? He wants to see you so bad."

"Aren't you coming with?"

"We'll come after you. Later I mean." Selena told her as the older woman nodded and gave them both a hug and turned around walking up the stairs.

"Mrs. Johansson?" Miley called her as she turned around and looked at her.

"Tell Nick that I love him," she told her hesitantly, "until I see him." She added.

"Sure, honey. He loves you too." And with that she disappeared to get ready to go see her son.

"You mean loved." Miley muttered as she and Selena got out of the front door and entered Miley's car after putting the suitcases in the trunk. Selena slipped in the driver's seat while Miley took place next to her and stared out the window just thinking.

"Nick." The ecstatic mother squealed as she saw her son finally awake. She ran towards him giving him a hug. He just woke up again from is sleep and when his mother finally let go of him he noticed that now the room was full of people not just Demi and Joe as he remembered before sleeping. He saw his brothers, their wives, his mother and Demi's mother. No sign of ex- girlfriend or her cousin, which relieved him.

"How do you feel now?" Danielle asked him with a smile.

"Great." He said smiling at them all.

"Glad you're okay, bro." Kevin told him.

"How do you feel after getting two bullets on the first day of work?" Demi asked him chuckling.

"I think I have a great future with my career." He said sarcastically as they laughed.

"I don't get what's taking Miley so long." Joe groaned.

"Yeah, what does supposedly take three hours to get?" Demi agreed.

"Guys, she's with Selena now, they're settling themselves in their new apartment and then they'll both come." Denise told them.

"Huh?"

"They found another apartment and moved there. Selena told me that they'll be coming later after they unpack and stuff." Denise explained, "Oh, and Nick, Miley told me to pass a message." She smiled at her son who looked at her confused, "She told me to let you know that she loves you." She said and he rolled his eyes instantly.

"What's wrong? Are you guys on a fight or something?" Kevin asked his brother when he saw he didn't smile goofily like they all expected after his mother's sentence.

"It's nothing." He snapped.

"Fine, we'll ask Miley when she comes." Demi told him teasingly.

"Guys, she's not coming back. Stop talking about her." He finally exclaimed.

"What? What do you mean?" Joe was the first to speak from the shocked people in there.

"We're over, alright?"

"Over? You broke up? But why? You were so happy with her, Nick." Demi's mother said confused just like the others.

"Nick," Demi spoke when he didn't, "You know you can't blame her on what happened, right?" she said slowly, "It's not her fault that her uncle is a criminal, she d-"

"But it's her fault when she listens to him." He interrupted and they stayed silent again.

"Nick, would you just explain what the hell you're saying is." Kevin said. Nick sighed and scanned their eyes seeing the same expression; sadness and confusion.

"She's with them." he started, "The gang, I mean." He paused to see their reactions and he saw nothing but confusion and not-understanding.

"How's she with them?" Joe asked for more explanation.

"She's a member of the gang." He rephrased it, "She was pushed by them to get closer to us, her mission was to kill and get the papers."

"Kill? Who?"

"Me."

"No, no, there must be something wrong. No." Demi shook her head. "There's a misunderstanding here. This isn't true."

"It is, Demi." He said as his eyes began to water, "Jim told me, and she didn't even deny it and when I woke up she wanted to explain." He snapped.

"And did you let her?" Joe asked.

"No, I was barely looking at her, Joe. She fooled all of us. She managed to make us believe she's innocent, kind and actually a good person, while in fact she's the whole opposite."

"Nick, tell us what exactly happened." His mother requested. He sighed and started telling them everything from the point he entered Jim's house to rescue his 'girlfriend'.

"I told her to get her things from home and that were over…"he finished.

"God I can't believe that." Joe said as he put his hands over his face trying to find anything in the story that could prove Miley wasn't that bad. But he found none. Neither did any of the others, they all tried but they just couldn't.

"She can't be like that." Demi muttered more to herself. She remembered all the times she looked her directly in the eyes. She saw nothing but care or love. Could that be all acting? How can someone be such a good actor? She was so confused.

"… I took one last glance at him and left the room."Miley finished to Selena.

"Oh, Miles, I'm sorry." She pulled her in a hug.

"I screwed up big time, Sel." She cried on her shoulder.

"Let him calm down and then try again. Maybe he'll listen when he calms down."

"I don't think so. I told you I never saw such pain in his eyes. Besides they all most likely hate me right now. My mother, my sister, her husband, Kevin, Danielle, and his mother, they all will hate me when they finds out." Miley told her sobbing.

"Miley they love you they'll forgive."

"How would they forgive me, Sel? I betrayed them all. I was supposed to make them all hurt by killing Nick. And he won't believe me when I tell him that I changed the plan." She told her between sobs, "Besides even if one or two of them forgave me, the others won't and it'll be hard to keep in touch with one and not the others."

"I know it's hard right now, Miley. But you were forced in this life, you didn't have the choice on where you grow up or with who. The circumstances were all against you. But the good thing is that you changed. You made the right thing in the end, Miles."

"Selena how did you change without someone make you change? I mean I changed because of Nick and his family, what about you?"

"I guess I thought about it at first, you know when I told you over the phone, and then I changed along with you." She told her, "Don't forget that I got involved in the mission too."

"So you care for them too?"

"Of course I do, Miley. They're kind and really great people. It's such a shame that we lost them." she said looking down not wanting to cry in front of her broken friend. "But look at the bright side, we're now free from the gang and can live our life the way we want."

"I guess you're right." Miley flashed her a smile. "You know it's really hard when someone loves you when you're bad and hates you when you change. It's weird too."

"I guess it is."

"Do you think we'll be okay? Do you think we'll ever be able to live a normal?"

"I know we will, Miley. it will just take a while to get over everything." Selena assured her, "Just no more lies."

"I promise." Miley replied truthfully, "I guess it'd be hard to lie again after this." She said sadly.

Demi watched as her husband grabbed his keys and ate his breakfast in such a hurry as he was late for job. Finally he finished and kissed her cheek with his mouth full of food still being chewed. "I'll see you later, babe." He said and managed to get out a smile. They were all still not over the fact that they were played by two girls.

She went back to the bedroom and quickly got dressed ready to leave the house so she could be back early for lunch and dinner. She got her car keys and left the house as she sat in the driver's seat wondering where to start.

She wasn't convinced that Miley was that bad of a person, she just didn't see it in her eyes. She saw kindness, innocence and care. Maybe she lied, but she didn't think that everything was lies. Maybe she really loved them, after all she had plenty of chances to actually kill Nick over the months as she was supposed to, so, why didn't she? Maybe she really loved him? A slim chance, but it could be true, and Demi was determined to find out.

She finally decided to start from Miley's college, or where she told them she was studying. She wanted to know if she was actually a student there, if she was, that would be the start of the road of her discoveries. She drove fast and soon he was in front of the big building. She got out of the car and got in and waked until she reached the office of student affairs.

"Excuse me, I want to know if you have a student called Miley in the third year of college." Demi asked the lady behind the desk. The woman looked at her bored.

"May I ask why?"

"I um, a relative to her and I haven't seen her since we were both so young." She made up a lie quickly.

"Fine." The lady said bored and nodded typing some things on her computer. "What's her last name?"

"Uh, I- I can't really remember I'm from her mother's family and I don't remember exactly." She lied again surprising herself.

"I have a Miley in fourth year and another in third."

"Can you show me their pictures please?"

"Didn't you just say you haven't seen her in a long time?" the woman raised any eyebrow and Demi started sweating as she wasn't used to lying.

"Yeah, but she looked a lot like her mother, and I don't think I'll not be able to recognize her."

"Fine." She rolled her eyes and displayed a picture in front of Demi as she pretend to be gazing at the features but she knew it wasn't Miley then shook her head. The woman displayed the other picture and Demi's heart skipped a beat as she saw Miley's picture.

"That's her." She whispered more to herself with a smile. Her heart almost stopped when she noticed the few words under her picture. The words that made her head spin around. The words that could change everything.

Miley Destiny Roby Ray Stewart.
