A/N- Apologizes for the crapness of this chapter! If you live in Australia you would have heard Melbourne got hit by a huge storm and I was one of the unlucky people who ended up with a tree falling on top of my house, we had no power and the house flooded (and still is)...so it was fantastic, so this chapter is rushed between cleaning up the house and sitting on the roof :) So sorry about that! Thanks for all the reviews I am loving what you guys are saying!

Chapter 20
Miley POV
"When did they say she'd come round?" A hazy voice whispered, I was in heaven I knew it with angels and the rest of my family…I had to be in heaven I just had to be there now…
"They didn't, the Stewart family has been released from house arrest though. They've sent a guy to go tell them what's happened and see if we can manage to sneak one of them to come see her." Another voice stated, but this voice was unfamiliar…
"Thanks so much Josh…thank you so much, you saved her life" I heard a voice say it sounded like Kevin but it couldn't be unless he'd died I was dead I had to be, I drowned…
"No you three saved her, she wouldn't be here without you…its great just to see her though, it gives me proof that after ten years we've actually finally done something with a purpose and that we even had a purpose" The voice stated, I didn't know who the hell he was though…Josh? I hadn't heard of him my entire life…I heard a door suddenly open and slam…what the hell was going on?
"Doctor how is her results?" I heard Kevin asked and I heard re shuffling of the people in the room and someone move there hand over my head I just felt so exhausted though I wanted to talk to them? I was alive then? In hospital, seeing there was a doctor.
"Extremely good, I'll tell you what the King wasn't smart with her there is so many drugs he could have used to literally kill her yet he used a simple date rape drug. We can't really do anything but wait till it wears off, and then we'll keep her under sedation for a bit longer just in case she goes into shock...The CT scans we did were are all clear, no internal bleeding like we thought from the bruises that came up on her stomach… and the neurologist results are good too there is no brain damage that can be seen in the MRI scans…she's very lucky" He stated and I heard just sighs of relief and someone kissed me on the head…
"But the drug…how long will it take to wear off" I heard Kevin ask and the doctor gave a sigh as I felt a hand entwine in my own, rubbing its thumb across my palm. I tried to squeeze it…but I just couldn't I was so tired.
"Well who ever gave it to her gave a lot…it just depends on how quickly she breaks it down, it could be tonight it could be tomorrow we'll just have to wait and see. Either way she'll be waking up" He stated and I concentrated it and felt absolutely amazed when my hand did move and the person who was holding it realiazed…
"She just moved her hand…what does that mean?" I heard Nick ask eagerly, and there was movement and I felt my eyelids pulled open and a light flashed in as I tried to squint…Nick, he was okay…he was here with me.
"Yeah she is…She is to weak to speak though at the moment…she can hear you though so just keep her calm, tell her what happened. I'll be back in a hour hopefully by then she'll be trying to talk…make sure she doesn't take the mask off though it's just precautions" He stated and I tried to push my eyes open but I couldn't…I didn't care though, Nick was here and right now all I cared about was that he was here…holding my hand; alive.
"Miles we're so sorry…so so so sorry, you're going to be okay the doctor said so, he just said something about the drug wearing off..." I heard Kevin whisper and I felt a hand rubbing across my shoulder…
I tried to say something, but all that came out was a murmur as there was instant silence and I moved my other hand as it was instantly grabbed.
"You remember what happened Miley?" I heard Kevin ask as I forced a murmur again I didn't know what that meant though as I felt a hand brush away the hair on my face…what had happened? Wait how did I get here?
"Best thing about this is now though…they think she's dead, but they can't announce she's actually dead until well someone finds her body which isn't going to happen" I heard an unfamiliar voice say, he made me confused was he talking about the King…who was dead? Me?
"In the mean time we can get her prepared for what's to come…try and get us all ready for the fact Miley is going to have to become Queen now." I heard Kevin say with a sigh, as the hand kept moving across my head…wait Queen? What had happened? My mind was just all blurry…
"It gives us time though…time we didn't have before, your parents and the Stewarts have been released on the believe she's dead…the soldiers won't be invading your houses anymore which means we can move her there…everything has fallen into place apart for the fact that well…she's in here" I heard the voice say and gave a murmur…I was going to live in New York?
"Shh Mils, you'll make yourself tired, talk later okay…you're fine nothing is going to happen to you I promise…" Nick stated and I just listened waiting for someone to say something else…
"You call her Miley? Not Destiny?" I heard the same unfamiliar voice ask and Nick gave a laugh as I felt his warm touch still on my head and I inwardly smiled knowing he was here…
"Yeah she hates her name…she asked everyone to call her Miley, I am sure she'll try and force it as a new law when she's Queen anyone who doesn't call her Miley will be forever imprisoned" Nick said I could tell he was smirking and I sighed as everyone laughed…this wasn't funny!
"No she wouldn't do that…everyone will call her Destiny at the start but once they hear everyone calling her Miley they'll catch on talking about the public they still think she's alive which is good and on the run" The voice stated and I heard a sigh…
"Yeah which means we can't take her out anywhere which sucks…but it will give people more hope I guess that she could take over which she will eventually" I heard Kevin say, they were planning I could already tell by their discussions…I didn't like planning anything!
"Yeah I am not going to tell her followers what happened, we'll just go ahead with the planning" The voice stated as I heard a huge scream outside and the doors flew open…
"IS SHE GOING TO BE OKAY" I heard a petrified scream come from Demi and as both my hands were instantly abandoned and I instantly heard someone burst into tears…
"Yeah the doctor thinks so…it was so scary mom, I seriously thought she was dead and she just wasn't waking up and then she did…" Nick stated he sounded really scared as someone else took my hand it was cold unlike Nick's and I received a kiss on the head.
"Injuries…?" I heard Magritte say while someone rubbed my shoulder and I contorted my face, this was really starting to piss me off! I felt so weak and useless yet I could hear them all so clearly…yet I didn't understand.
"None...nothing major she has a bruise on her stomach and a part from the fact they've drugged her up so much" I heard Nick whisper as the hand squeezed mine and I realised I was holding grandma's hand from the rings on her fingers.
"What else?" Paul asked as she kept my hand nice and warm rubbing it up and down with her other one as I felt a hand come to my head moving my hair…why couldn't everyone just leave me alone!
"Nothing…no joke that's it, she was so damn lucky it's not even funny" Kevin stated and I heard bunch of sighs in relief.
"No brain damage, no broken bones, no internal bleeding…they told us she was a a little cold and her heart rate was low. But they said that would pick up which it has" The unfamiliar voice Josh said.
"So is she like conscious…?" Demi whispered and I let out a groan, groaning meant I was awake and Nick gave a laugh as I felt someone hold my other hand…
"That's a good answer, you feeling okay Miley groan if that's a no?" Paul asked and I let out a groan and Nick gave a laugh this wasn't funny I couldn't even move at the moment…
"Doctor said give it an hour and she should be talking…" Kevin stated and I let out another groan as Nick gave a sigh…
"Shh Miley you need to rest my dear, groaning isn't going to make you feel any better" Grandma whispered and I gave a large sigh which made my whole body ach as I heard another laugh…
"I can't wait to hear the story she has to tell" Paul stated, and I froze…
It just all clicked…everything flooded back I should be dead…he tried to kill me, oh god…I heard suddenly something begin beeping out of control and I just couldn't shake the feeling of sickness in my stomach…he'd tried to kill me!
Nick POV
I stood in the hallway with dad and my brothers and mom, while Alexandra was nervously sitting on the chair along with Magritte. Demi was crying with happiness on Selena who just seemed annoyed while Henry watched over his daughters…I gazed quickly as the door creaked open and the doctor walked out…
"She'll be fine, just seems exhausted and pretty scared…I don't think she really worked out what had happened and then you must have triggered something. Her heart rate went up a bit which was the beeping…she'd fine now" He stated and we all looked at him and he moved over to us…
"I took the oxygen mask off her and her breathing was fine which was an improvement from when she arrived. I say I'll keep her until tomorrow afternoon and by then she should have slept long enough and everything should be back to normal" He stated and we all looked at him in relief this was really good news.
"By then I am sure she will want to go home and sleep more, which is not to worry about she'll get tired a lot quicker you'll find over the next couple of weeks but it will get better. While at the moment she will be in pain from the bruise on her stomach…try and get her to rest up for a couple of days" He stated and dad stood up and shook his hand thanking him while we all moved to go back inside.
"Don't talk loudly any of you…got it, don't make her worry!" Magritte stated opening the door as Alexandra walked in first and sighed as I bit my lip looking at her still white face sleeping peacefully on the pillow…
"She looks so weak…" Joe whispered as we all walked over Alexandra just looked concerned and moved her hand and rested it slowly on Miley's forehead as she opened one of her eyes and then the other only a tiny bit…
"Hey sweet heart you feeling okay?" Mom asked moving to the other side as she just gave a very small nod and everyone moved around taking seats as I sat down next to Alexandra…
"You remember what happened?" Mom asked brushing the hair out of her face and she nodded and closed her eyes and opened revealing they were filled with tears as mom sighed…
"You're okay honey…he won't hurt you again promise…" I heard mom state and I watched as a tear rolled down her cheek and she moved her hand easily up and wiped it away.
"Don't cry sweetie…your fine, we're going to get through this" Mom stated and I saw her eyes gaze at mom and then travel around the room falling at mine, she stared directly a me for a moment and then moved her hand out for me…
"Nicholas I think you are wanted" Alexandra stated and I gave a smile and stood up and moved over as she moved her hand into mine and the closed her eyes cuddling up to the pillow…
"Right she wants you to stay here all day Nick and sleep with her" Kevin stated with a grin, I would stay as long as it took to make her better…she opened one eyes and I smiled at her…
"Maybe we should go home and come back tomorrow its been a long day for everyone…you included Nick" Mom stated and I looked at her pleadingly as Miley opened her eyes and gripped my hand…I needed to stay here.
"Miley my dear, Nick has been awake a long time he flew back with you to New York and he's been here ever since…let him go home and rest and I'll stay with you here till tonight and then I am pretty sure Demi will be up for it staying here tonight" Alexandra stated and I looked at them all pleadingly I wanted to stay with her though…I felt her hand pull away from mine as I looked back to her worried.
"Good thank you Miley…a least someone has some sense" Mom stated eyeing me as Kevin wrapped his arm around me smiling at Miley and he patted her on the head as she closed her eyes.
"She's tired…we should all go, Demi you can come back tonight, mom will you be right on your own for now?" Magritte asked and Alexandra nodded, if anything it had brought the Stewart family together at least out of this horrid situation we went through over the last 48 hours.
"I'll see you tomorrow Mi" I stated and kissed her on the head and she nodded her eyes still closed as Joe rubbed her hand and said goodbye and mom kissed her on the head as well…
"You a brave kid I'll give you that Miley" Dad stated and she gave a sigh and waved her hand for us to leave as I couldn't help but give a laugh she was tired…she wanted to sleep without us talking.
"Bye Miley…be good for your grandma" Magritte stated as we all walked out and exchanged looks, she was scared anyone could see that…
"She looks terrified…I hope it doesn't go back to how it was before…when she wasn't talking. I've spoken to Mandy and she's going to fly out here tomorrow" Dad stated poor Mandy was just shit scared, a bunch of soldiers turned up at the house and destroyed it pretty much and left her there…
"She doesn't look scared of us though, I think she's just a bit shaken up I mean she most likely saw the King and then got dropped into water, she thought she was going to die and then she wakes up with all of us freaking out over her…I'd be scared too" Mom stated and we all nodded, we'd have to wait later to question her what truly happened.
"She isn't too bad though…thank god she was okay if you'd been in Tennessee it was scary we were sure she was dead and we watched her drop that far it was absolutely horrifying" Kevin whispered as I remembered her body just limp…I never wanted to think of that again
"Yeah...it must have been come on lets get home" Dad stated as everyone nodded and Demi wrapped herself around Joe I couldn't help but smile…he was happy she was okay…really happy. I looked over at Sel who gave me a smile, which I returned.
"Right…we need a car" Magritte stated and looked around like she was waiting for one to appear, Demi slipped away from Joe giving him a smile and moved over to me.
"I heard a rumour you are going to ask Miley out?" She whispered as I gave a weak smile and sighed looking at the ground…well that was the idea when you liked someone…
"How do you even know that Demi I haven't told anyone…" I stated and she just gave a shrug and smirked giving a nod, I knew asking her out was a little hard now considering…everything…but I was pretty sure I was in love.
"Give it two weeks to a month…she'll go out with you, she wants you Nick…trust me I saw the way she looked at you before. It was only you she was seeing in the room none of us" Demi stated and I couldn't help but smile at that…
"Well thanks for the advice Demi…" I stated and she just gave a shrug and moved away from me as I exchanged a look with Joe and Kevin and they gave a smirk everyone just seemed to know.
"Right now tomorrow who wants her?" Magritte stated and literally we all groaned knowing the argument was about to begin all over again.
