"Selena..." Miley started.
"Is my friend and nothing more so please stop being jealous, look I was planning to give you this soon and I think it will show you how much you mean to me" said Nick. Miley recognized the small box he took out of his pocket. Nick opened it and took out a ring.
"Is that what I think it is?" asked Miley.
"Yes and No" smiled Nick.
Chapter 20
Miley looked at Nick with a confused expression on her face.
"What do you mean yes and no?" she asked.
"It's not an engagement ring, so no" Nick started. Miley frowned.
"It's a claddagh ring" said Nick taking Mileys hand in his.
"Ok you've lost me" said Miley.
"You know how I have Irish roots, as well as German and Italian" said Nick.
"Yes" Miley spoke slowly not seeing what he was talking about.
"Look at the ring first, and I'll explain" said Nick. Miley took the ring and examined it. It looked like two hands holding a heart with some sort of crown on the heart.
"My grandmother inherited this ring from her mother, it was her wedding ring. It can be given to a wife, a fiancee or a true love. We can't get married yet at sixteen so this is a symbol of my love for you. The meaning of this ring has been the same for hundreds of years. 'With my hands I give you my heart, and crown it with my love'. My mom gave me the ring after I saw its meaning online, I never knew we had one in the family, but I'm so glad we did" said Nick. Miley had tears in her eyes as she listened to Nick.
"You really mean it?" she asked almost timidly.
"I do, with all my heart" said Nick as he pulled her close to him. He kissed her softly and held her close. Slowly she leaned back and spoke.
"So if its not an engagement ring which finger does it go on?" asked Miley.
"According to my mom, on your right hand with the heart pointing towards you and it doesn't matter which finger" said Nick. Miley held the ring in front of her for a moment.
"Do you not want it?" asked Nick sadly.
"I do, I just want you to put it on my finger" smiled Miley.
"I wanna go back, I mean I can always go tomorrow" mumbled Miley from the back seat of the car.
"Miles it's been a week, your dad keeps asking to see you, you owe him at least a ten minute visit" said her mom. Miley was going to visit her dad at her house. Nick stayed behind with Jamie as she didn't trust her dad around them yet.
"But I just don't think that..." Miley tried to reason with her mother.
"Miles, you haven't seen him for two months now, he has changed so much, he's more loving, more able to deal with his anger and a better person, please for me will you talk to him for ten minutes" said Susan. There was a moment of silence before Miley gave in.
"Fine" she sighed. Once they arrived at the house Miley saw her dad sitting out on the porch.
"Here goes nothing" she thought to herself. Once she got to the porch she stood still. Should she hug him? Shake hands? A nod of the head? Everything was so awkward now. Susan walked into the house to give them some time alone.
"Hey Miles" he said softly. He didn't move foreword so Miley just sat in the opposite chair to him.
"How are you?" he asked cautiously.
"I'm good, I've been staying at Nicks house" she replied.
"So your mom said, is Jamie doing well?" he asked.
"Your asking me how he is?" asked Miley confused by how polite he was being.
"Yes" he replied staring back at her "Why wouldn't I ask about my grandson".
"Well you punched his father when you found out about his existence" said Miley.
"I know what I did Miles, And I know I was wrong, I've spent these past two months dealing with my issues and working through them, your mom always helped me before, but when she was away, I let my anger get the better of me, but I've been to therapy classes and they really helped, all I want is your forgiveness Miley and I know I haven't earned it yet, but if you'd let me I'd like to try" said Robbie Ray. Miley was silent, she was trying to process what he had said, trying to see if it was genuine. It didn't take long before her dad broke the silence.
"Could I ask one favour Miles?" he asked "Can I give my little girl a hug?". At those words Miley felt her heart melt. She stood up and hugged him just like when she was little and she was daddys little girl.
"Your not forgiven yet, but your getting there" she said.
A month later, Miley was on much better terms with her dad. He didn't even mind her staying with Nick all this time. Tonight Nick and his brothers had a concert as part of a charity event. Her mom offered to look after Jamie for a few hours while Miley went with Nick.
"It's so nice to have a night out" Miley said to Nick, they were in the limo with Joe and Kevin as well as their current girlfriends. Kevin was still dating Danielle while Joe was now dating a new actress called Rebecca, but everyone called her Bex.
"This is so exciting" said Rebecca taking in her surroundings.
"Bex relax, it's just a limo" said Joe.
"Oh let her have some fun, it's probably her first time to an event like this" said Danielle. They arrived early so Nick and his brothers could go rehearse while Danielle, Bex and Miley went to relax in their dressing room. Miley headed for the snack table immediately. The three girls chatted comfortably.
"So how's little Jamie doing?" asked Danielle.
"He's great, and he looks adorable in the clothes you sent for him, thanks" said Miley "In fact I have a picture of him wearing them, you wanna see?". Both girls nodded and waited while Miley took out her ipod touch.
"Aww he is so cute" said Bex just before she ate her third packet of chips.
"Wow Bex your really like food" said Miley.
"I'm a girl who loves to eat, and Joe keeps saying that's one thing he really likes about me, I'm not afraid to eat unlike Camilla who spent all her time counting every calorie" said Bex.
"Camilla was so nice, but I suppose her and Joe weren't meant to be" said Miley.
"And now we have you in our little group, The Lucas girls" giggled Danielle. Bex wandered over to the table again and selected a pickle with chocolate spread. Miley looks at her choice.
"Pickles and chocolate?" she asked.
"It's really good, you should try some" she replied.
"I'm good, really" said Miley as she ate her strawberries.
Once the guys finished rehearsing they hung out in the dressing room for about an hour before they went on stage. Just before they went on stage a flustered looking Selena arrived at the door.
"Hey Sel what's up?" asked Kevin.
"My voice" she whispered hoarsely.
"I'm supposed to sing my new song and now I can't, the producers are going mad cause they need someone to fill my slot" she continued in a whisper.
"They asked if Miley would sing a song or two" she finished. Demi entered the room behind Selena and handed her a bottle of water.
"What me? But I havn't been on stage since before I had Jamie" Miley replied.
"Please Miley, they really need someone to sing" said Demi.
"I don't know" said Miley thinking hard.
"It would be nice to see you up on stage again" whispered Nick in her ear. Miley smiled.
"Ok fine, I'll sing 'One in a million' and a new song, I just need a guitar" said Miley.
"A new song?" asked Nick.
"Yeah, I've been writing it for a while, I was thinking about recording it, I guess now would be a good opportunity to see if the fans like it" she replied. Nick, Kevin and Joe went off to the stage to perform while Miley went to warm up her voice, as she practiced Danielle and Bex watched in awe.
"Wow, I LOVE that new song" said Bex.
"You have to record it" said Danielle "What made you write it?". Miley thought for a moment.
"I guess having Jamie made me realize it's not so much what you do in life, it's more how you do it, I'm going to raise Jamie with Nick, that's going to happen, but I want to be a good mom and it's going to be hard at times, it won't matter how long it takes me to get it right, it's like climbing a mountain, the climb is what matters" said Miley. Danielle and Bex nodded silently, taking in her explanation for the song. Bex suddenly ran out of the room, into the bathroom.
"It was really only a matter of time until she got sick after all the food she ate!" exclaimed Danielle.
"She did have quite a lot" agreed Miley.
"I'll go check on her, since you gotta go on stage, good luck!" said Danielle. Miley walked out of the room holding the guitar. She got to the stage just as JONAS finished. She took a deep breath. This was it, she was going back to what she loved, with a brand new song, she just hoped everything would run smoothly since she hadn't practised on stage. She heard the announcer telling the crowd about Selena.
"So please welcome Miley Stewart!" Miley walked foreward as the fans screamed. She felt adrenaline pump through her veins and she felt exhilarated. She felt like she had been on a long vacation and now she was home. As the music started Miley smiled and took a deep breath.
"I'm home" she thought to herself as she started to sing.
Long chapter! I think it might be the longest yet. I was lying in bed last night and thought of a great new idea for this story so I had to introduce Bex, since shes part of it!
