A/N- Thanks for the reviews :) I am going to my beach house tomorrow and depending on how the connection to the internet is feeling there, I might have or might not have reception :| Which means no update if I have none obviously! :( But I will be back next week anyway! Totally irrelevant but I saw the last song today and it was really amazing! So if you haven't seen it, you must!!!

Chapter 25

Miley POV

I just didn't know what to say, or do…I was absolutely terrified of him and he kissed my hand! .Nick looked at me scared and moved his hand up to my face while I just stared at him my mouth open yet I was unable to say a simple sentence let alone a word.

"Miles…calm down okay…pretend it didn't happen okay" He whispered and I didn't say anything, I just felt like I was about to be sick…how could he just do that to me when he'd tried to kill me.

"Miley come on, let's sit you down before you feint" I heard someone say as I was placed onto a chair , I didn't look at the people around me, I was to busy just thinking.

"She's in shock slap her…" I finally heard Joe say as I gazed up to see Grandma with Denise and Joe all looking at me. I shook my head as Nick wrapped his arm around me and I gazed at grandma nervously.

"Sweet heart you're okay…don't panic…" Grandma stated and I just nodded my head, this was fine...it meant nothing! Why did I feel like I was about to cry though...

"No don't cry…that's what he wants…he's trying to intimidate you, don't fall for it Miley…he's trying to make you scared of him" Denise stated, I knew that and I understood what he was trying to do…and I was falling for it…I was fucking terrified of him.

"Miles…come on we have to go dance…" Nick stated and I nodded, I took a deep breath; it was nothing…nothing at all I just had to pretend it had ever happened…

"Sorry…I just completely zoned out…" I muttered and they all gave me sympathetic looks, I stood up and Nick looked at me still worried and I nodded…

"I am fine…okay I need to go the bathroom and wash my hand...maybe cut it off" I stated in disgust as Joe gave a laugh and Denise nodded offering me her hand which I accepted as I gazed to see we were outside and I hadn't realized how could it was till now.

"Okay I'll take her with me…go back inside and pretend nothing happened okay…Nick I am serious" Denise stated as he released he's grip around my waist and gave me a weak smile which I returned…

"You look really gorgeous…promise you'll dance with me?" He asked and I nodded, giving him a smile how could I even have freaked about the King when I'd just had a moment alone with Nick…I should have acted on it…

"Of course I promise" I stated as he gave me a nod and grandma opened the door and we all walked inside.

"He won't come near you again, I promise sweet heart okay" Grandma stated and I gave a nod as she walked off down the corridor with Joe who gave me a nod and Nick giving me a final smile.

"Come on you…let's go wash your hand and get he's dreaded DNA off you" Denise stated and I gave a laugh as we moved into the bathroom, I instantly went to the sink and got as much soap as I could and washed my hand before closing my open necklace.

"Okay you look perfect again, you are no longer looking like a ghost…just stay with me okay for now and we'll switch around" She stated and I gave a nod and we walked out and slowly made our way back into the large ballroom…

"Oh princess it's a pleasure to meet you…I am…" A woman stated as soon as I walked out, my god this was going to be a long night. I smiled and nodded like a cared when I honestly didn't as the next person started talking to me…

Before I even realized, Paul was with me and we were heading to eat dinner. I got to the table and looked to see I was sitting between Demi and Selena…okay perfect time to chuck a fit and get my way…

"I'll swap with Joe…deal" I stated looking at Demi as she looked at me confused and I turned indaicating towards the Lucas table. "I want to talk to Nick…you want to sit with Joe, I'll swap with him okay" I stated and she gave a grin and nodded as I walked across to the next table and looked at Joe.

"Swap with me…" I stated and he understood instantly as I moved over and he pulled the chair out for me. I gave him a grin and sat down and I looked at my new table…this was much better.

"Miley you know technically you aren't allowed to sit with us…your supposed to sit with your family" Denise stated, her voice sounded like she disapproved but she hadn't kicked me off.

"Yeah well it's not like it's assigned seating…I want to sit with you guys" I stated and grinned at the random people sitting on the table who I had no idea who the hell they were.

"Yeah sure you did…you just wanted to sit with Nick and Demi wanted Joe so you swapped" Kevin stated and I looked at him giving a shrug as they started bringing food out and I got prawns placed in front of me.

"Yeah well there was that too…plus I haven't really talked to any of you tonight and now I can. Nick swap with me…" I stated and he looked at me confused, he'd got a salad and looked at mine…

"My god...you are so picky! You're acting like a princess now for sure!" Kevin stated and I just shot him a look as we quickly swapped plates. I gave nick a grin and gazed down seeing his hand moving onto my leg and started rubbing it up and down.

"You okay now?" Nick asked very quietly and I shrugged, I felt kind like I'd been verbally harassed even though he'd done absolutely nothing, I felt violated…

"Can we go out tomorrow just you and me…I want to talk?" I asked and he nodded as we held hands under the table while everyone kept eating, I liked sitting with him he kept me that little bit more sane.

"I'll take you on anther date?" He suggested and I raised my eyebrows looking at him and nodded, I liked that idea…

"We'll spend the whole day together have lunch and dinner together…I'll take you to the zoo" He stated and I gave a laugh looking at him as he gave me a huge grin and I nodded.

"Your so gorgeous, you know that" He whispered and I felt instantly my cheeks heat up and I looked down at the table. I mean I'd been told that heaps tonight, but coming from Nick made it seem so much more of a compliment.

"Thanks…you look very handsome too…" I whispered and he gave a laugh as I saw grandma stand up and go over and asked a elderly man something. I watched him instantly smile nodding and he stood up moving with her to the dance floor…oh god...

"Oh no…" I hissed as I saw Joe ask Demi and I looked at Nick. He laughed standing up and bowed sending me into a fit of small giggles...He looked at me seriously and offered his hand. I felt my cheeks redden again as I placed my own hand in his and he moved it up and gave it a kiss…

"See I kissed the problem better, now you have Nick germs!" He stated and I couldn't get the grin off my face as he helped me up. I glanced around seeing so many people just staring at me grinning, we walked out onto the dance floor as I gazed at grandma…I could not dance!

"Don't you dare step on my toes clumsy" Nick stated and I gave a laugh as he placed his arm around my waist and I put mine on his shoulder as we entwined our fingers together.

"If I trip I am blaming you" I stated and he just gave a shrug as the music started and we both exchanged looks as I just shook my head…I really couldn't dance. We took the first step and tried to move to the slow beat getting about half way through the dance when finally I stepped on his toes.

"Oh I am sorry" I stated through giggles as he eyed me suspiciously and we kept dancing while more and more people began to join in, so it took the pressure off us. Finally the song ended and we exchanged a look...

"Thank god…" We both chorused and instantly moved off the floor, we were the only people who had left though. He looked at me nervously and pulled my hand indicating towards a different part of the building. I quickly followed his lead hoping what I thought was about to happen did...

Nick POV

I pulled her behind a wall and looked around carefully while she continued to smile, she was being so cute tonight and her dancing was horrible, then again mine was no better…

"Nick…I am going to get into trouble from grandma..." She whispered as I gazed around quickly and she went to continue...but I knew this was my chance, I pressed my lips against hers and she instantly started kissing back forgetting both our worries.

I wrapped my arms around her waist bringing her closer as I leaned against the wall, she wrapped her arms around my neck as we kept kissing not breaking away to take breath. I felt exactly the same as last time, yet this time there was no guilt she didn't have a boyfriend anymore…I pulled away as she looked at me smiling…

"Be my girlfriend" I whispered and she gave a smile, and tilted her head thinking about it as I pouted and she pressed her lips against mine and quickly pulled away again.

"Of course, I'll be your girlfriend Nick…" She whispered and I smiled as I pressed my lips against hers feeling the fireworks again, I moved my hands slowly edging down her waist as she moved her hands through my hair.

"Nicholas…. Destiny" I instantly heard someone yell with a very annoyed tone as we pulled away and stepped away from each other gazing to see Magritte her hands on her hips…oh shit. Next to her stood a very unimpressed mom who looked at me with a disappoint look...

"Both of you are in heaps of trouble…we gave you strict orders not to get close like this here! Destiny come here now" Magritte stated and Miley quickly moved forward as Magritte shot me a look and grabbed Miley's arm pulling her away.

"Nick come on" Mom demanded as she walked towards me and I looked at her innocently and pointed to go back into the main room which I quickly did…thankfully no lecture! Although I was sure they'd be one coming.

"How it go?" Kevin asked as soon as we walked back in and I saw the look on moms face, as she looked at me annoyed…

"We'll be talking about this" She stated and walked off, I guess I wasn't going to be seeing Miley again any time soon. I looked at Kevin and gave him a nod as he put his hand up and I gave him a high five.

"She said she'd be my girlfriend" I stated with a smirk and Kevin gave me a nod, to think I thought I'd never ever see her again and now we were together…and I was actually sure that I loved her.

"I am taking her out tomorrow…I guess that's out of the question now though, we're both going to be grounded" I stated with a sigh and Kevin gave a laugh as we sat down at the table with Joe and Demi.

"What just happened Mom just pulled Miley over and pushed her into a conversation with those people" Demi stated and I exchanged a look with Kevin and gave a laugh…I looked over at me new girlfriend who was staring at the new faces concentrating.

"She might have caught me and Miles…kissing…a lot…" I stated as they instantly started laughing and I gazed over to see mom and Magritte were back talking, like nothing had ever happened.

"That's great Nick…please tell me you finally asked her to be your girlfriend?" Demi asked hopefully and I nodded with a grin as she pulled me into a hug giving a squeal.

"That's fantastic…oh my god now we are all inter-dating…and we can go double dating again!" She stated and I gave a laugh…yeah we were, Joe had Demi and I had Miley only Kevin and Sel were left and they were never going to get together.

"Well tonight has been a success at least, Miley's talked to everyone, I've talked to everyone and everyone has talked to everyone" Demi stated and I gave a laugh, gazing around the room trying to see the King…

"Where's Miley?" Kevin asked suddenly and I gazed around, Alexandra was with mom and dad. Sel was talking to some guy, while Magritte and Henry were talking to another family and we were all here…I gazed around worried and stood up.

"I can't see her…" Demi stated and I gazed to see heaps of people but not her…I exchanged a look with the guys…she'd most likely gone to the toilet, but she had to take someone with her…we'd been told that already!

"I'll find her" I stated and got up walking over to mom, dad and Alexandra and quickly latching onto whoever they were talking to and waited until they'd finished their sentence.

"Excuse me may I please have a word Alexandra" I stated and I saw a confused look on mom and dads face as she instantly scanned the room, and looked at me confused.

"Where's Miley?" She asked instantly and I looked at her worried, as mom and dad instantly caught on and started gazing around for her as well.

"She said she was getting a drink…she's not over at the bar though…" Alexandra stated as Joe and Demi with Kevin walked over looking between all of us well she wasn't there…

"Where's King Fredrick…where are all of them?" Dad whispered as I froze gazing the room instantly, all of his group that were here tonight were just gone…I felt instant panic just consume me…

"She'll be fine okay…don't panic anyone, just everyone split up and look for her…in twos" Dad stated as Magritte and Henry turned up and Alexandra looked at me and I nodded as we quickly walked off with her.

Neither of us said a thing and walked around the whole ballroom…I could feel myself beginning to panic, if anything had happened to her I would never forgive myself. We finally walked to the main foyer and froze…

"GET YOUR HANDS OF HER" Alexandra screamed as literally the twenty men with the king turned and stared at her, I looked at the King holding both of my girlfriend's hands while she had silent tears running down her face.

"NOW" She screamed again and I heard running behind us, and turned to see everyone was no gazing over at us. The King looked at Miley and let go of her as she instantly just stood there not sure what to do…I motioned for her to walk over as she slowly took a step…

"We were only having a conversation weren't we Destiny…about the future and what's going to happen" He stated looking at her while she just stared at the ground unable to say a thing.

"You will leave now…she has done nothing to you, she doesn't want to be Queen you have no reason to corner her like an animal. Leave now!" Alexandra stated, her tone was harsh and the King nodded as he instantly turned and moved towards the doors. I gazed in shock watching who was behind him…Jake…it had to be him…

Everyone was deadly silent, he walked out and as soon as the door closed I ran over to Miley and pulled her into a hug as she started crying. I rubbed her back…what the fuck had he said to her? What the hell were they up to?
