Chapter 24
Miley POV
"I'm going to…I can't believe…I want to…" I hissed.
I stomped my feet down on the grass pacing back and forth, my fists were clenched ready to hit anyone who came with in three feet of me. I couldn't believe they'd done that to Nick, sure I thought maybe one punch but not a full on brawl! It was like my brothers were ten, I was never going to forgive them for this no way! I kicked a pot plant in anger and it quickly toppled over.
"Miley take a deep breath."
"NO" I yelled looking up at Brandi, "NO you take a deep breath."
"Miley…"
"Don't Miley me." I hissed.
I kicked another pot plant this one however cracked and sent dirt flying everywhere, I jumped back from it as I heard a huff. "Miley bud, could you refrain from killing all of your plants, I've been coming over everyday to water them." Dad stated and I turned staring at him.
"You know what?" I hissed at him, "I don't care what you think, I don't care what anyone thinks I love-"
"Nick, we get it." Dad stated seriously.
I looked between my dad and sister frowning, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you, I am. But I wouldn't change anything because everything was perfect and now you've gone and screwed it all up!"
"Miley it's not…"
"YES IT IS! My husband is bleeding, my mom is god knows where, I'm trying to look after a child, let alone the fact everyone thinks I'm a slut!" I yelled at both of them frowning, "Try stepping in my shoes, then maybe you'll see! This is so much pressure and now everything is ten times worse!"
"I'm sorry I didn't stop your brothers attacking Nick." Dad stated.
I kicked the grass closing my eyes, "I wish they could see, I wish all of you could see how happy he makes me. When everything falls apart I always know I can rely on him to make it better…"
"And that's why you married my son?"
I looked up to see Denise was standing there with Paul, I looked away and shook my head. "No, that's not all…I married Nick because I love him and I would never be able to survive without him being there for me. He's my best friend and I never wanted this to happen…but I had to do something, I couldn't loose him and that day when Disney told us we had to choose, I couldn't…I wanted both. But looking back on it now, I would have chosen him in a heartbeat."
"Okay." Denise stated as I looked up.
"Okay what?" I whispered nervously.
"You're forgiven for not telling anyone about the wedding and your relationship, but there will be punishment Miley…" Paul stated a small smile coming to his face looking at Denise.
"Family dinner is every Thursday night, you have to attend whether you want to or not. You will deal with our family problems along with your own and you will not complain when you are forced into making a birthday cake or anything cooking related." Denise stated and I nodded not wanting to say a thing. "You will try and uphold our name, which you have done so far…so try and stay away from the scandals and you will need to look after Nick, because he is rather hopeless at doing laundry."
"I already know that." I stated with a smile.
"So you got that?"
"Yes…"
"Well good, welcome to the Jonas family."
I walked over to the four of them and smiled looking at Denise and Paul…
"Thank you."
Paul looked at me up and down, "I'm still not happy, but I'll deal with this in time. We all will right Billy?"
"I suppose so…"
I smiled and hugged Denise, she hugged me back giving a laugh. "You better look after my boy Miley, I don't want him running back to me any time soon."
"Oh he won't be promise."
I let go of her and Paul opened his arms pulling me into a hug as well, "So I think Nick got the beating he kind of deserved right Billy? You'll have to go up and see him and make sure he's doing okay…"
"He sure did." Dad stated,
I let go of Paul and looked at Brandi who gave me a smile and moved over to dad, "I'm sorry…I would have told you but-"
"It's fine Miles okay, as long as you're happy I'm happy."
He pulled me into a hug as I frowned, "I'm not happy right now, I want to hit Braison and Trace until they have bruises I'm that annoyed."
"Well why don't we go see you're beloved?"
"Beloved?" I asked pulling away from dad looking at Brandi.
"It sounds romantic, when you think about it you and Nick are sort of living a fairytale." Brandi stated and I nodded giving a weak smile…
"I know, let's just hope we have a happy ending too."
Nick POV
"Ouch, ouch stop…"
I closed my eyes wincing as Danielle gave a sigh, "Well if you stopped moving around maybe it would hurt less, just relax Nick. As a positive, I don't think you're nose is actually broken…"
"Oh great." I hissed sarcastically.
I stared at Danielle concentrating directly on my face as she tried to clean the cuts and stop my nose bleeding. I gazed over to see Demi with Joe while Noah was leaning on the wall all of them looking at me worried, I must look bad then. I looked out the window to see Braison and Trace sitting on the driveway with Kevin…hopefully he was talking some sense into them.
"Stop looking around." Danielle hissed as I winced.
"I want Miles…"
Joe gave a laugh, "Trust me you don't, she is pacing the backyard like a possessed person, she's gone crazy Nick. I think it would be better to let her cool off before I go and attempt to bring her up here. If I was Braison or Trace I'd actually be worried for my life..."
"She should be angry, look what they did to him." Danielle stated and I nodded.
I winced as she slapped my arm, "Stop moving, how many times do I have to tell you Nicholas!"
"He's like Miley, he doesn't like being ordered around." Noah muttered.
"Miley orders me around and I like it."
"If Miley told you to jump off a bridge would you do it?" Demi asked ad I turned staring at her,
"Well it-" Dani hit me over the head ending my sentence straight away.
I winced and she shot me a warning look as I stared back at her face. She continued to slowly dab the bits of cloth against my face, while she kept frowning at me nervously. Finally she dropped the last blood soaked piece of material and shrugged her shoulders…
"Improvement?" She questioned.
"Hell yeah, now he just looks like a mess." Joe stated giving me a grin.
"Yeah before you looked like someone had taken a knife and hammer to your face." Noah stated positively and I frowned, "Now however you only look like someone hammered you face, which my brothers did."
The door flew open as everyone turned. Miley took one quick glance at me and her face turned from sympathetic into one of absolute hatred…
"Oh my god, that's it…they're going down. I'm going to-"
Miley turned only to run straight into Billy who forcefully held back her attempts to get past him to attack her brothers. Finally he pushed her into the room and she turned staring at me again, I gave her a smile trying to hide the fact I was in pain. She took a step towards me giving a sigh…
"Why couldn't you be good at boxing instead of singing?"
I gave a small laugh as she moved over and climbed onto the bed, I watched her eyes trace over my face and slowly her hand moved up and she gently moved her fingers along one of the cuts. I leaned forward kissing her cheek and she gave a weak smile staring at me…
"I'm so sorry Nick, if I could take it-"
"Don't be, I got what I deserved."
"What?" She whispered shaking her head, "You did not deserve this Nick, no way did you ever deserve this. Why should you get hurt for being in love? While I get off without any punishment?"
"Oh remember you're punishment downstairs." I heard mom say,
Miley turned giving a small laugh, "That's hardly punishment compared to what Nick is going through, I'm so sorry…"
"Miley stop apologizing, come here." I whispered.
I pulled her over and kissed her gentle on the head, her eyes kept on my face though and I knew she was worried about me. I leaned down and gave her a light kiss, knowing that most of our family was watching us interacting but I didn't care…
"Can we come in?"
I turned and looked to see Braison and Trace at the door, they both had their own wounds from the war downstairs as I nodded but Miley was up in an instant. "I don't want you near us! I HATE YOU BOTH! How dare you do this to me? Why can't I be happy for once in my LIFE! Look at Nick, LOOK WHAT YOU DID."
I grabbed onto her shirt as she lunged for them and dragged her back onto the bed, they both looked at her pretty freaked out and I understood, Miley scared me at times too.
"Nick we're sorry…" Braison started,
"I'll give you sorry, you ass-"
"Miley." I hissed pulling her down onto the bed as she gave a huff.
"I accept you apology."
"WHAT?" Miley screamed at me,
What was the point fighting against them? I knew I had no chance anyway and if they were willing to apologize then it was fine. "Miley gorgeous, we caused this okay and if they said sorry then obviously they care about you. And that means they care about how you are feeling, and they know that they hurt you in hurting me."
"Miley we didn't mean to make you so…" Trace started and stopped.
"Scary?" Noah stated and Trace nodded.
"We are sorry." Trace stated.
"Fine."
"Miley…"
"Fine I accept your apology but only because Nick did."
"Okay that's good enough by me, how about we all go downstairs and have coffee?" Denise questioned and everyone nodded in agreement, trying to get away from how awkward it had become up here.
"I love you…" Miley whispered in my ear,
"Love you too."
"Okay Nick you want anything?" Danielle questioned as Miley looked at her.
"You actually are looking pregnant!" Miley stated her anger gone in an instant,
Danielle instantly gave a laugh and the girls both started talking as Kevin walked in, he gave me a smirk sitting down. "Well I think everything's sorted out between the families now you only just have to worry about what's to come and the rest of the world."
"Great…" I muttered and he gave a laugh.
