Chapter 21

Well, here's the new chapter, even though I only got one review in the last chapter, but I love writing this story, but please review :D

"That's why friends for, right?" Emily said hugging her back as she felt Miley nodded on her shoulder.

" Awwww. What a cute little friendly moment!" they heard someone saying behind them. They pulled away to see that it was Demi smiling at them.

"Hey Demi." They said in unison.

"Hey, how are you now, Miles?" Demi asked her.

"I'm fine." Miley smiled at her.

"Miley, we all want to know something," Demi said and Emily understood what she was about to ask her.

"What?"

"What did you mean by your words yesterday?" She asked her as both of her friends looked at her as if studying her.

"You'll make fun of me." She said smiling at the thought.

"No, I promise we won't, and if you want we won't tell anybody too." Emily said.

"Ok, do you remember when I first woke up and went crying to his room and then ended up collapsing and stuff?" they nodded "Well, while I was sleeping, I dreamt about him, he was telling me that he needs me, and that I should take care of my health more than that. And he made me promise him. I know it was just a dream, but it didn't seem like one and it meant a lot to me. So I knew I should keep that promise." She said remembering her first dream about him. "Then yesterday, when I came here and slept after Mary showed up, he visited my dreams again. This time he convinced me by making me promise him again that I should forgive her and give her another chance. When I did he hugged me, then he said that he have to go, and that he'll come back later." By the time she finished her story she found a huge grins on her and her friends faces.

"Oh, that's so sweet Miles, how could you think that we'll make fun of that?" Demi awed.

"Yeah, I totally agree with her." Emily said.

"He also said that he could here me, I don't know if that's only my imagination or that he was actually with me, it's confusing." Miley completed ignoring their previous sentences.

"I don't know, I think he hear us." Demi said.

"Hey Nick, I hope you wake up soon, this girl over here loves you to grave." Emily said making her other friends laugh.

"You can tell them, its okay, I don't care if they found it ridicules, because it's my own ridiculous thing." Miley said when she calmed down from her laughs.

"You mean our own ridiculous thing." A faint new voice said from behind them. They all turned around to see Nick looking at them smiling.

"Nick." Miley squealed happily as she ran towards him and hugged him softly, making sure that she didn't put her weight on him.

"I'll go get the doctor." Emily said.

"And I'm coming with you, to tell the others." Demi said.

"Nick, you finally woke up. Please don't talk now, the last time you talked your body couldn't take it, stay silent for now." Miley said.

"Miley it's-"

"Shhh, didn't you hear what I just said? Of coarse I wanna hear you, but forever, not for just five minutes and then I have to wait till you wake up again." She said softly making him smile hugely. Then the doctor entered the room.

"Wow, finally you woke up little man. Please miss leave us now." Dr. Steven said. Miley flashed Nick a smile before exiting the room with a HUGE smile on her face.

"Miley, is that true? Did he wake up?" Joe asked excitedly and Miley looked at him smiling and she nodded, then he took her hand and they started jumping happily.

"YAY . YAY . YAY. HE JUST WOKE UP. YAY . YAY . YAY." They sang together making the others laugh hysterically.

Then the doctor came out of the room smiling, apparently he heard them too "I didn't know that he's so important to you." The doctor said as both of them blushed "Well, he perfectly fine now, but please don't make him talk too much for today, he still exhausted." He said and they all nodded. "You can go see him now."

When he walked away they all rushed to Nick's room, the first two who reached his bed was the happy dancers from outside, Joe and Miley!

"You two should make a duet; your voices are amazing together." Nick said when the two of them sat beside him, Miley on the right, and Joe on the left, and the others were around them.

"How did you hear?" Joe groaned.

"Joe, the whole hospital heard you." Selena said between her laughs.

"Oh, yeah? Did you knock on every door in the hospital and made sure that they heard?" he complained making all of them laugh.

"I'm extremely happy that you woke up." Miley said looking at him, one hand of hers were holding his, and the other was playing with his hair.

"Yeah, Nick, you should have seen her when she first woke up, she was all like 'oh it's my fault, it should be me' she even opened her cut again and collapsed." Joe said making Miley's cheeks red, and it didn't help that Nick was looking at her while hearing Joe speaking.

"I know. And I know that she forgave her aunt too." He said.

"What? How did you know that?" Joe asked as all of them dropped their jaws except for Miley, Demi and Emily.

"So, you were really hearing us?" she asked him ignoring the rest group of confused faces.

"Not really. I didn't hear you all, I think I was just feeling what you feel. But I felt you around me, I also heard your argument with your aunt, but that's it. I didn't hear any other thing."

"You mean you just felt like me? But how did I dreamt about you? And I know what you said was what you wanted me to, right?" she asked as he nodded. "But how? How did you enter my dreams?"

"You might have felt him like he did Miles. He felt what you feel because you were so close to him physically and emotionally, and that's exactly what happened with you." Demi said.

"Anybody care to explain what is happening here?" Kevin said.

Miley smiled and told them her dreams about him. While hearing, Nick smiled knowingly. When she finished they all had grins on their faces.

"So what you mean is that you and he felt each other without even talking?" Selena asked trying to get all of that in her head. Miley smiled and nodded in response.

"Wow, I can't believe that." Joe said "Aha, then that what you meant by saying that you promised him yesterday." He finally found out and she nodded again.

"And when you woke up and you were so quit all of sudden." Jackson said and she nodded again.

"Wow, you haven't even been together that long, how could that be happening?" Kevin asked.

"I think it's the power of love, yes they haven't been together for so long, but they loved each other for enough time." Emily said. They all nodded understandingly. Then they heard a knock on the door, they looked at the door as it opened relieving Aunt Mary. Nick felt Miley's hand tense in frustration around his own hand, so he squeezed her hand soothing her.

"Oh, thanks god you woke up." She said as she went to hug him surprising all of them.

"You don't even know him." Miley said trying to push her away from him.

"Yes my dear, but if you and your brother care about someone, then I do too." She said to her "I'm sorry, I was happy that I forgot to introduce myself." She told Nick "I'm Mary Miley's aunt, we weren't on good terms for a long time but I think we're okay now, right baby doll?" she said introducing herself as Miley rolled her eyes and didn't respond.

"I know." Nick smiled "I know more than you imagine." He said as Miley laughed along with the others. Mary stood there awkwardly having no clue why were they laughing, but she smiled an awkward smile because she didn't want to look stupid!

"So, Nick, how are you now?" Mary asked him.

"I'm good." He answered.

"So, Miley seemed very worried about you, you two are dating, right?" she asked and he nodded smiling at uncomfortable Miley but she smiled back. "Aww, so sweat. Tell me how did you know each other." She said playing the roll of an excited teenager.

He opened his mouth to answer but Miley interrupted "Aunt Mary, the doctor said that he need to rest and that he shouldn't talk a lot."

"It's okay, Mi." he said.

"No, it's not, you need to rest Nick. We need you with us." She argued.

"Are you sure it's we not I?" he smirked.

"Anyway Nick, stop talking now, follow the doctor rules." She said trying not smile, but failed.

"Aww, you're so cute." Mary said.

As usual Jackson and Kevin fell asleep, probably because they're exhausted fro their works. Emily fell asleep too, but she's a heavy sleeper anyway. Anyway it was now 9 o'clock they have to leave along with Mary.

"Guys, you have to leave now it's late." Miley said waking them up.

"We can sleep here." Kevin said after he woke up.

"Why would you sleep here when you have a comfy bed back at home?" she said.

"Yeah, you're right." Jackson said "Emily wake up, we're leaving." He said waking her up.

"I'm staying." Miley said.

"Me too." Demi agreed.

"Why? He's okay now, and you two didn't walk out throw the hospital's door since you first entered it." Kevin said.

"And I'm not leaving without him, as I entered with him." Miley said.

"No, Miley go home, I'm okay." Nick said.

"I'm staying and it's final." She said as they all sighed knowing that there's no way she's gonna change her mind, and she liked it!

"So am I, then." Joe said.

"Face it guys, me, Joe and Miley loved the place here, that we can't leave and go home, not without each other anyway." She laughed earning light chuckles from the others.

"Okay, let's go now, I'll sleep again if I stayed any longer, do you want a left Aunt Mary?" Jackson offered.

"That will be so sweat from you." She answered.

"Ok, come on let's go." And with that they all left waving at the four that stayed.

"I'll sleep on the couch tonight." Joe said to Demi.

"Hey. I'm the girl here." She complained.

"Hey, doesn't that cute girl next to me count?" Nick said as he received a quick thank you from her.

"No. Because she always sleep next to you." Demi said and continued her argue with Joe.

They ended up that Demi slept on the couch and Joe slept on two chairs after he put them together, and they fell asleep before the other two.

"Does the hospital allow more than visitor to sleep with the patient?" Nick asked Miley.

"No, but we made a good friendship with the nurse and the doctor." She said and he chuckled.

"It still amazes me how we felt each other while I was in come and you sleeping." He said looking her straight in the eyes.

"Yeah, that doesn't happen a lot." She said looking at his beautiful brown eyes that she missed "Do you remember what you said before you pass out again?" she asked.

"No, not really." He pretended to be thinking."

"Nick." She whined playfully.

"Ok, ok, I remember." He laughed "I said that I love you."

"And I wanted to respond but you didn't give me the chance."

"What was you respond?"

"The same that I want to say now."

"Which is?"

"I love you too." She smiled and he leaned up to capture her lips in a small quick kiss.

"Good night Nick." She smiled.

"Good night Mi."

Demi and Joe woke up first as they slept first; they saw Nick and Miley sleeping holding hands. They looked at them and smiled.

Demi's smile grew wide when she remembered her dream last night, she dreamed about Joe, she know that she likes him, but she never had the courage to tell him. They were great friends and she didn't want to lose him!

"Do you think we should wake them up?" Joe asked her snapping her out of her thoughts.

"No, Joe let them sleep." She said but it was like talking to herself, he didn't listen.

Poor Nick and Miley woke up on the sound of Joe's screaming in Miley's ea. Miley jumped and found her way to the ground where she hit hardly. She laid on her stomach there for a moment until she finally figured out what happened and stood up. While Nick just shoot his eyes open, apparently he used to wake up like that, well it's an experience of 16 years living with Joe.

When he noticed Miley on the ground he tried to have a good look of her but it was hard with the medical instruments next to him. They all started laughing when they saw the look on Miley's face towards to Joe. Then she stood up and with a quick move she kicked him on his leg hardly making him fall on the ground. She tried to jump on him but Demi stopped her.

"No, Miley, that's enough." She said trying to stop laughing.

"Didn't you see what he's done to me?"

"Relax Miley I woke up like that everyday in my life, you'll use to it. I promise." Nick said after finally controlling his laughs.

"Yeah, and he was just kidding." Demi said.

"I'm not mad, it's cool and- wait, why are you taking his side? You're my best friend not his." Miley said smirking as Demi tried her hard not to blush.

"Well, a lot can change honey." Joe said proudly wrapping his arms around Demi's shoulder. Finally she couldn't prevent the blood to rise to her cheeks anymore.

"Umm, Demi why don't you go bring the doctor to check on Nick." Miley said trying to change the subject after she sensed her friend's shyness.

"Uh, yeah sure." She said as she looked at her a grateful look and walked out of the room. When she disappeared Nick and Miley looked at Joe.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" he asked them.

"Ok, don't pretend, it's too obvious." Nick said.

"What's obvious?"

"Your feelings towards her." Miley said.

"Towards who?" he asked playing the roll of the dumb.

"Didn't I just say don't pretend." Nick said.

"Ok, ok, I admit it. I like her." He gave up.

"Then, why don't you tell her?" Miley questioned him.

"What if she doesn't feel the same way?"

"Are you an idiot?" Nick said.

"Why?"

"Cause only idiots can't see that she's totally into you." He replied.

"And how do you know?"

"Cause I'm not an idiot." Nick smirked.

"Ok, enough with that idiotic talk. Joe, I agree with Nick, I'm her best friend, and I know that she likes you." Miley said sincerely.

"Really?" he asked, and Miley opened her mouth to speak, but the door opened revealing Demi with Dr. Steven behind her, and Miley smiled at Joe and nodded.

The doctor made all the needed checks on Nick, and smiled, he told them that he's okay, but he has to stay a little bit longer, his cut isn't really good yet, but there's an improvement at least, a great improvement.

"How long exactly do I have to stay here?" he asked

"Well…"

Wow, this chapter took me TEN pages, I think it's the longest chapter in the story :D

Anyway, what do you think? Nick finally woke up, it's not finished yet, don't forget that there's still Mary's sudden appearance, and it's not for nothing, that will bring another circumstances :)

Please don't forget to drop a review, it means A LOT really.
