Chapter 21

Nick POV

"Thanks for inviting us Billy, we really appreciate it…" Dad said as Billy let us inside, he giving us a really welcoming smile... We hadn't expected this invitation at all!

"Well…you got back from tour, and after everything that has happened I think I need to make up for the way I responded," He stated as I glanced at Lucas standing there with a smug look on his face.

"It's fine Billy, we all did the wrong thing" Mom stated seriously, and we all agreed on that…everyone had done the wrong thing, but there wasn't really a right thing to do. "Plus I am sure Kylie would like us to be together on her birthday" Mom stated with a grin, as Billy did give a grin, he missed her we all did but she wasn't coming back and everyone knew that now.

"I actually went to the cemetery today…I saw someone I really wasn't expecting" He stated as we walked into the dining room, and Lucas forced me to sit next to him while mom gave Billy a questioning look. "Miley was there…with flowers…purple daises to be precise." We all just stared at him, Ky used to love daises…Miley wouldn't have known that.

"She was holding a letter too…I am guessing you three went and saw her today?" Billy questioned as I glanced at the guys, we all began to nod.

" The four of us actually, she was a bit wreck, but I think she'll be better now…how did she seem at the cemetery?" Lucas asked as he stood up obviously going to get the food and halted at the door for the response.

"She was good, she was holding the necklace too…she just didn't seem to know what to do and I actually managed to apologize to her and she accepted" Billy said with a really happy grin as I smiled…that was good really good. "She let me give her a hug…I think she is getting used to everything, I hope I get custody tomorrow" In honesty we all did the bruises on her arms today were bad…and there was no point questioning how she'd got them.

"Where is Megan?" Mom asked interested as I felt my phone vibrating, I quickly shuffled around my pockets and by the time I pulled it out it had stopped vibrating. I sighed just putting it back in my pocket…I'd deal with who ever it was later.

"Um Megan went to her country club with some friends" He stated and Lucas walked in and gazed at me with a grin beginning to place plates on the table.

"We should have invited Miley, it could have been a family get together" Joe suddenly stated pretty sarcastically and I gave a laugh, sure she would have loved that…I could already imagine how awkward it would have been.

"So you think she'll come back to us now? After you talked to her?" Dad asked and I gave a nod, I was pretty sure she would…I mean she was so sad, she needed someone.

"Come on stop talking about Miley, it's making everyone depressed" Mom stated as Billy walked back in with Lucas carrying more plates putting the final few down. They both sat down as we began to grab at the salads.

"So Frankie how is school going?" Billy asked as Frankie rolled his eyes like he'd asked him the worst question in the world.

"I hate it…it's so boring…I swear, I don't understand Nick, Joe and Kevin got to be home school but no I can't!" Frankie stated rambling as my phone vibrated again and I sighed…they were ringing again.

"Oh Frankie come on…being at a normal school is great, wait till you get to high school" Lucas stated giving a smirk, Frankie just stared at him not understand the concept of being in high school with girls.

"Yeah it'll be good Frankie, plus you have heaps of friends while the guys…don't really have many at all" Mom stated looking at the three of us, I looked at her insulted feeling the phone stop vibrating.

"Thanks mom…" Joe stated rolling his eyes, " What about Lucas? Doesn't he count?

"Oh yeah well Lucas of course…but that's one, and don't you dare say Miley she doesn't count!" Mom stated, as we looked at her annoyed, well that lowered the numbers then. I let out a huff as my phone started ringing again…who the hell was this!

"Excuse me for a minute" I stated standing up and I saw everyone look at me while Frankie brought up a new topic. I moved away from the table and began to walk towards the living room grabbing my phone.

I pulled it out just as it stopped and gave a sigh. I clicked on the screen seeing 4 missed calls from Miley and 1 new message, she was ringing me? I gazed at the times…the earliest had been ten minutes ago and the last three were within minutes of each other. I sighed deciding I should listen to the message then. I pressed the button and moved it to my ear leaning on the wall…

"Hey...Nick, umm you told me to call if I wanted to talk, so here I am calling you...and your not answering so, maybe when you have time can you call me back?" She whispered…she sounded so sad, I better call her back.

I pressed dial and waited hearing the ringing as it answered…I stood confused hearing a huge amount of loud crashing noises, where the hell was she?

"Hey Miles…you rang…4 times" I stated and there was just no reply but I continued to hear the clatter…I moved the phone from my ear and shook my head confused.

"Nick…Fire" I heard a very strained voice say…I listened confused? Fire what did she mean fire?

"Miley you okay? You sound sick!" I asked her a little worried and moved back into the dining room, causing everyone to look up at me and I motioned for them to be quiet.

"Fire…Help…fire…Megan…Dan" I heard her whisper, I froze worried…fire? Was she serious! I put the phone on the table and pressed loudspeaker as everyone gazed at me confused.

"Miley where are you? MILEY! Tell me what's happening!" I yelled at the phone scared! She had to be joking…she had to be!

"Fire…" She whispered like a little kid, I stared at everyone confused as Dad rolled his eyes.

"She sounds drunk…leave her be, she'll be fine" Mom stated seriously as Billy nodded in agreement; I stared at them in absolute shock and shook my head!

"Are you kidding me, something is wrong! Seriously wrong! I am going…something is wrong with her!" I stated annoyed, fire wasn't a word you just used jokingly…some thing was wrong!

"She said Megan and Dan then fire! I think they've come together or something and hurt her! You got to do something!" I yelled at them but Billy looked at me instantly insulted…why didn't they believe me?

"Let's go…now" Lucas stated standing up with Joe and Kevin…thank god.

Joe POV

Nick was convincing, he was freaking out and we knew better then anyone did how mean Megan was to Kylie…she was horrible and I would not be surprised that she would do something to Miley. We left the house the four of us, while the parents just looked at us like we were stupid. So now we were sitting in Lucas' car driving to her house, which thankfully Liz had given us the address of this morning. I could hear Nick rambling absolutely freaking out, when in truth we had no idea what was wrong with her…I mean she might just be drunk!

"What if we get there and she is like why the hell are you here? and is absolutely fine?" Kevin asked and Nick just shook his head while Lucas was still looking around for street names.

"Let's just follow Nick on this one…" I whispered to him and he looked at me raising his eyebrows as finally we turned into the right street and we counted the street numbers…

"Okay here this house…" Lucas stated, well the house looked fine but Nick instantly was out of the car and we quickly followed him. We stood on the lawn and that's when I noticed something weird…

"Is that…fire?" I said confused looking through the window something huge and orange was flickering...panic instantly over came me…she said fire!

We all bolted to the door as Nick tried to open it, Lucas pulled out his phone and moved away back to the lawn. We watched Nick try and kick the door down and I gazed to see there was smoke pouring from the back of the house…this was not good!

"Nick move" Kevin yelled and he whammed into it, knocking down the door with ease as a thick blanket of smoke just hit us like a wave.

We all instantly started coughing and Kevin retreated getting the full force of it, I tried to see through the house…but it was just thick with smoke, and I couldn't even see the fire at the moment.

"She's in here I know she is…" Nick screamed coughing, he moved into the house and I looked back at Kevin and Lucas on the lawn. I turned back to the house...I had to follow him, I put my sleeve over my face and stepped inside.

I followed Nick's figure as he came to a door and put his hand on the door knob instantly flying back shaking his head, as I looked to see it was red…I looked in panic as Nick shook his hand in pain, that whole back room was on fire.

"Miley" Nick screamed but there was no response, the fire was growing…it was beginning to become deafening now and the smoke was getting worse, the house was burning very quickly.

"Miley" I screamed as I pushed Nick out of the way and forced my foot into the air kicking down the door, as we got pushed back by another layer of smoke and realized how much trouble we were in now.

The room was just red and bright orange, flames were licking at every place in the room as things smashed to the ground and the roof…well it was half on fire and things were falling from the second story. The fire was positioned around the windows and doors though...it was deliberate.

"Miley" Nick screamed coughing, he looked around the room…it was a kitchen I could make the bench out. I let my adrenaline take over from my fear and forced myself into the room as a piece of the second floor feel down hitting the ground in flames a foot from me. Nick followed me as we forced our way through the falling debris.

"Miley" Nick screamed his voice was strained and he was coughing violently, I was too but not as bad. I gazed around as more of the roof collapsed and we both ducked asapart of the ceiling fell down…I looked from my place on the ground and saw something.

She was laying there against a wall on the other side of the room opposite the bench, I pointed for Nick and I saw him jump up instantly as another part of the ceiling fell down…we had to get to her someway but we'd have to jump through the fire. I looked into Nick's eyes, he was terrified…he needed her, more then anyone realized it was the only thing that was keeping him together. A moment of rush came over both of us obviously and we jumped up and covered our heads running through part of the fire. I rolled onto the floor and saw Nick next to me trying to get rid of the flames

"MILEY" Nick finally yelled turning to see she was really close,

We rushed over to Miles and Nick grabbed her arm, slapping her across the face. Instantly her eyes opened and I saw Nick instantly come back to planet earth from what seemed like his planet of panic gazing at her as she stared at us relieved.

"I'll grab her…you find a way out" He yelled at me, I nodded getting up and gazing around towards the windows…there was no way out!

I coughed gazing around panicked as I heard a huge snap and then a high pitched scream from Miley as I turned around to see a bit off the ceiling falling and landing straight down on Nick's arm. I instantly jumped towards him as he screamed out in pain and I looked at Miley who was coughing.

"NICK! NICK COME ON!" I yelled at him as he just stared back at me ash covering his face, he nodded his head…I looked at him apologetic and pulled his whole body hearing his arm break and his cry of pain.

"WINDOW…" He screamed at me through gritted teeth, I turned looking back to see there was one window left that had only a small amount of flames around it, I nodded and picked up Miley whose eyes were closed again...she's passed out by the look of it.

I prayed this was going to work as I ran at the window and felt instant burning as the window shattered and I fell onto the grass dropping Miley in the process. I started coughing and quickly turned back looking into the house and dragged myself to me feet re entering. I got to Nick in seconds and dragged him as I saw the extend of damage to his arm, I looked at his feint face and dragged him through, pushing Nick out of the house as we both fell onto the grass…I took a deep breath in coughing and looked to see two petrol containers…this was no ordinary house fire...no damn way.
