Chapter twenty; The look in your eyes, says you're still alone.

Life can be unfair sometimes. While some people are rolling in their one million dollar cars, others are sitting on the streets just asking for a little penny to buy a coffee. Just a small coffee so they can be warm for five minutes. But when you have everything you want, why would you limit yourself? If you're in a good place in your life and happy, why would you set some limitations? Especially if you've worked really hard to be where you are.

That's the Jonas' family motto. Sure, they care about homeless and in fact, they've given so much money to charity and homeless shelter. But in their mind, they've worked so hard to be where they are now; they shouldn't be ashamed to spend money on cars and nights out once in a while. In fact, tonight was Nick's twenty first birthday and his brother had quite a night reserved for him.

"Dude! Are you coming?" Joe asked annoyed with Nick standing by his side while they both looked at Kevin who was saying goodbye to Danielle.

"I am, I am. Calm down." Kevin laughed and kiss his wife's cheek.

"Well, sorry if I am excited about tonight, Kev." Joe said rolling his eyes.

"Yeah, well there's a problem when you're more excited than Nick, who is the one we are CELEBRATING." Kevin laughed once again and walked out of the house followed by his brothers.

"That's because Nick doesn't know where we're taking him." Joe smiled.

"Guys, we didn't have to go anywhere. Golf would have been fine with me." Nick replied but Joe interrupted him as soon as he mentions golf.

"Golf? Oh, Nicholas. You are twenty one! It's the night of your life, my man." Joe smiled as the limo bus shows up right in front of the house "In fact, here's your ride."

"Are you kidding me? God, you guys." Nick sighed afraid of the night that was waiting for him. Sure, he liked to party once in a while but he was more of a 'stay home and watch football' or a 'go on a field and play a random sport' kind of guy. But, that didn't stop him from getting into that limo where some of his best guy friends were already partying the night away.

To be honest, Nick was surprise there wasn't any girls in that limo. But he knew Joe and Kevin too well, they couldn't stay away from girls that long. That's why their next stop didn't surprise him at all : a strip club.

"Are you serious now?" Nick laughed as they got into the club.

"Dude! You're twenty one tonight and single. OF COURSE I am serious." Joe said and Kevin just laughed while the others guys just high fived themselves.

"Hello Mr. Jonas." The manager of the club walked up to Kevin "We got you the VIP room." He smiled and look at Nick "You must be the birthday boy! Trust me, you will enjoy this VIP show. We got you our best." The curly hair blushed and gave him a simple smile as he followed his brothers "You guys come here often I see." He laughed

"Only for special occasions." Kevin laughed and corrected himself "Just for our twenty firsts birthday and our friends one. They just love us cause we get the VIP room, which is expensive."

"Right." Nick said as Joe pushed on his shoulder to make him sit down at the best place possible. "Enjoy the show, Nicholas." He laughed.

As everyone was comfortably sitting down with a nice drink in hands, the announcer finally announces that the stripper was coming. All the guys started the cheer, as well as Nick. At this point he had a couple of drinks inside of him, he wasn't drunk but hey, who doesn't like this kind of show once in a while? Soon enough, a thin girl with long beautiful blond hair came out to the stage. Most guys wouldn't describe her as beautiful, but more like sexy but Nick thought she really was pretty. She had the perfect figure. She had long beautiful legs, she was in shape, her breast wasn't too big or too small, and her face was just so …. Miley.

His eyes widened as he recognize the girl standing before him in some sort of bras and panties. From the look on his brothers' face, he could clearly tell they didn't know either about this. And from the look on her face, she clearly didn't want him to know. She was embarrassed. He knows her too well. She had something to hide. He didn't know the reason behind all this, but he knew she wasn't doing this for fun. Miley was a feminism, she was against all those kind of things.

Soon enough, he was on his feet and on stage wrapping his coat around her. His hands ended up on his shoulder and leaded her backstage. "Miley?" He asked when they got behind the curtain. She simply looked at him with her big blue teary eyes. She didn't wanted to tell him about Emma. She didn't wanted him to know. Cause the truth is, when you're struggling with something as hard as cancer, it drains you emotionally, physically and spiritually. Not to mention financially, too. Everyone is telling you to keep your head up, to keep the faith and things will get better. But all you see is the dark side. Especially, when you're not the one with the disease. Especially, when you can't understand how bad this person feel and she can't express herself because she is only two years old.

You can do as much research as you want but, you will never fully understand how a two years old feels when she as a disease such as cancer. And no matter the amount of mother you see struggling with a child who has cancer; you can never feel the way she feels. At this time mothers would give everything to their child, just to help them, and her, to believe there's hope. Miley would give the earth to Emma, just to make her feel better. How did she wish she could buy her the latest Barbie, or anything that would make her feel better. But money was tight. Hell, it was tight before all the treatment, just imagine now. Getting a second job was definitely not an option for her at this point.

"Miley?" The curly hair boy repeated once again.

"I'm Cherry and I have a job to do." She avoided his gaze before starting to walk away from him.
