Chapter 21

Miley's POV

"Oh my god! Totally yes!" I say as I give him a kiss.

"Come on, I'll take you to my room for a bit." He says.

I walk into his room and I see Danielle with his arm around Kevin and Kevin looks upset.

"Kev, what's wrong?" Nick asks him.

"Well Nick, Miley. Please sit down. I just got a call from a police officer. He used Joe's cellphone and found my number. Joe and Demi apparently got in a car accident. They couldn't tell me anything else." Kevin says as he starts to cry.

I feel tears stream down my face. I feel Nick's arms around me. He brings me into a hug. I can feel my make-up falling down my face.

"Kevin, come on lets all go to the hospital." Nick says trying to avoid crying.

"I'll stay here. You guys go. He's closest to you" Danielle says.

"Come on Kev, I'll call a cab." Nick says hiding his tears.

After a few minutes a cab rolls up.

"Hospital please." I manage.

"Certainly." He says as he starts driving.

"Here you are. That will be 30 bucks." The cab driver says.

I root through my pockets to try to find money.

"I'll get it Miley. Don't worry about it." Nick says.

"Thanks Nick." I say as all three of us go inside.

"Hello Mr and Mrs. Lovato." I say trying to be nice.

"What the hell is your problem? My daughter was in a car accident all because of your fucking brother drove drunk and he persuaded my daughter to drink. Your brother is a fucking asshole! He deserves to fucking die!" Her Mom yells at me.

"Mrs. Lovato, honestly I know my brother well enough!

Number 1. He would never and I mean NEVER drive a car drunk.

Number 2 I know my brother loves Demi and he would never convince her to drink.

Do I think other people at the party would, Absolutely! Don't you dare just assume it was my brother when it may not have been." I state calmly as I go sit next to Nick who is hugging me tightly telling me it's going to be ok.

"He's your brother, why aren't you upset?" I ask.

"Well I know Joe wouldn't want me to cry and he sure as heck doesn't want to see you cry. He may not technically be your brother but believe me he loves you so much and he still thinks of you as his sister." Nick says as he puts his fingers through my hair which I find really comforting.

"I love him and I don't know what I'd do if he is you know...gone. It would probably kill me. I mean He helped me through everything. I feel even though he's not related to me that he's my brother. I really hope he's not gone but you know if he was, I think Mom would probably love to see him and whenever it's sunny, it will be Joey and Mommy smiling at me." I say as I continue to cry.

"Is there anyone here for Mr. Joe Cyrus?" The doctor asks.

We go up to the doctor.

"So where are his parents?" The doctor asks.

"His foster mother is dead, his foster father is in jail and his parents probably won't be coming here." Kevin explains.

"Alright, are you all his siblings?" The doctor asks.

"Yeah." Nick states.

"Ok. Well let's go in this office and talk for a little while. Now your brother was in a car accident with what we call a reckless driver. The driver claimed that his breaks were broken and he couldn't stop. That has yet to be investigated." The doctor says.

"How is Joe and Demi?" I ask.

"Well your brother is quite shocked and he suffers from a broken leg and a slight head injury. As for the girl, she is suffering from a hangover and she is unable to remember anything about the accident." The doctor says.

"So he's going to live?" I ask.

"Yes little girl a broken leg isn't overly serious. What are you to him?" The doctor asks.

"Well me and my brother are Joe's blood brothers and Miley is Joe's adoptive sister." Kevin explains.

"Ahh, you 3 can go see Joe now if you like. I got to go tell Demi's family about their daughter." The doctor states as he shows us to Joe's room.

"Good luck on that. They don't seem like very happy people." Nick yells to the doctor.

We all walk into Joe's room.

"Hey bro. How are you feeling?" Kevin asks.

"Where is Demi?" He asks.

"Demi is in another room relax Joe." Kevin replies.

"Is she ok? What happened to her?" Joe says sounding panicked.

"She's fine Joey. Don't panic. She's just really hangover. As for Demi's parents, they are probably going to kill you." I tell him being honest.

"What for? I didn't do anything." Joe says.

"They think that you drove drunk and pressured Demi to drink." I tell him.

I see Demi walk into the room and her parents stayed outside.

"Hey Miles. You missed an amazing party." She say still sounding way hungover.

"Who's party was it?" I ask.

"Damien's! Everyone was hammered!" Demi says.

"Wow Dem. You going back to school?" I ask her.

"Yeah. Totally. See you later!" Demi says as she leaves.

"Wow. She is drunk. She's so drunk that she didn't notice me. When do I get the hell out of here?" Joe asks.

"No idea." Nick says.

"Alright kids, you saw him now you have to go so he can rest up. We'll send him back up by taxi when he is released." The doctor says.

We all go back up in a taxi. I go back to my room.

"Hey Miles, how is Joe?" Danielle asks.

"Good. He's got a broken leg and is tired but all and all he's pretty good." I explain.

"That's good. Hopefully he's coming back soon." Selena says.

"Yeah. I think we'll have a cheer practice tomorrow. I think the whole team should help us figure out what songs to use." I suggest.

"Oh. Awesome idea." Selena says.

"Ok I think we should all get to bed. It's kinda late." Danielle says as I go into the bathroom and get changed for bed.

At Cheer practice the next day

Selena's POV

I sit in the team uniform that Miley gave us when we made the team. Danielle sits next to me looking really excited.

"Ok. So today I think we're going to try to find 3 songs and make a killer song. The only thing is that they have to be really upbeat. After about an hour of giggling and funny song suggestions, we finally decided on some songs. Miley sits on the bleachers mixing the music together while we all practice flips and stretches except Demi who I'd say is too hungover so she sit with Miley and mixes the music.

With Kevin and Nick

Nick's POV

"Ok. So you're suggesting that someone intentional hit them." I ask.

"Well it makes sense. Did you call Mom and Dad to tell them about Joe yet?" Kevin asks.

"Yeah. No one is answering. Second they probably don't care anyway. They don't care about him or us anyway." I state.

"Yeah. They just care about their social lives. Hold on the news is on." I say shushing him.

"In recent news a car accident occurred late last night only injuring the driver of the hit vehicle. The driver of the other vehicle blames faulty brakes for the accident. Later investigation has ruled this out of the possible factors. Names have not been revealed to the public as of right now." The reporter says.
