Chapter 32

Mandy POV

"Miley we're taking you home and that's that okay!" I stated staring at her, "The doctor said that he would release you on the promise that you would rest…which involves you being in bed, sleeping"

I watched intently as she stood next to her hospital bed stuffing a bag with the clothes we'd brought for her to choose between to wear today.

"I'm not going home Mandy, I'm going to stay with Nick until he wakes up…" She stated through gritted teeth, I watched her trying to zip up the bag but failing completely with only one hand,

"Miley you need to go home and rest" Paul said pleadingly as she threw the bag onto the floor and shook her head,

"No" She stated annoyed, "I am not going home! You can't tell me what to do, you're not my parents" She yelled and we just stared at her, god had I heard that line so many times before when she was a kid,

"Destiny Hope, you're going home and that's that…you understand" Alexandra yelled at her as I saw all the rest of the group standing outside and Miley shook her head looking at her grandmother,

"No I am not. I'm higher ranked then you, so if I say I'm staying, then I'm staying and you can't do anything to stop me!" She stated with attitude and stepped over the bag and walked towards the door as we all let her leave.

"Hey Mil…" Demi started and stopped as she stormed off and I looked out watching her enter Nick's room. I looked back to all the adults and gave a sigh…

"We've got a week till her coronation, well that's what everyone thinks will be her coronation date" Magritte mumbled staring at us, "She's not ready at all she needs Nick, Miley's not going to do anything till he wakes up" She stated seriously, I'd only seen her like this once before, after her parents died she was just angry constantly…

"Okay well she will eventually realize being here at the hospital is no use" Henry stated looking over at Paul,

"Just let her stay with him, it's not going to hurt anyone if we don't have the coronation next week. Just say she's doing exactly what she's doing, sitting at her boyfriends bedside…" Paul whispered and I gave a weak nod…

"Has she said anything to anyone about what she remembers yet?" I asked looking around as everyone shook their heads, we didn't know if she remembered what happened…she wouldn't tell the doctor or us.

"We'll have to wait another 17 years for answers, just like before," Magritte stated giving a huff as I gave a sigh, well she'd tell Nick if he was awake.

"I'm going to go home and get some rest, I think it'd be a good idea if everyone did the same." Henry stated as everyone gave nod and we all piled out of the room,

"I'm just going to say goodbye to Denise and then we can all leave at least we have one less person to visit right?" Paul stated with a sigh, as everyone just looked at him emotionless…but Nick was still here.

I sighed deciding I'd stay a bit longer and see if I could convince Miles to come home and followed Paul into Nick's room. Denise was watching Miley intently as I gazed to see her holding Nick's hand looking at him like she was in a hypnotic trance.

"Everyone is going home, you'll be alright here honey?" Paul asked Denise as she gave him a weak nod and I sat down next to her,

"Bye Miley, you should come home soon okay. Nick needs you alive when he wakes up not totally drained." Paul said as Miley just gazed up at him and nodded directing her gaze back onto Nick. Paul gave us a nod and slowly walked out closing the door.

"Miley honey, maybe you should go home you look tired." Denise said carefully and Miley shook her head looking over at us, a look of pain and sadness crossed her face.

"I caused this and if anything happens to him, that's it. I'm not going to take the thrown because without him I never would be here and why should I get to live the good life while he has to suffer. So no if he's suffering in pain then I need to be suffering as well…" She whispered as I sighed looking at her and Denise stood up walking over.

"You know I heard a very similar speech from someone who was very close to you and me," Denise said sitting next to Miley as she gazed away from Nick,

"Your dad, when your mom was giving birth to Brandi stated that he was going to hold her hand no matter how much she squeezed it because he knew her pain was going to be a lot worse." Denise stated and I smiled knowing any story about Miley's parents would win her over,

"But Miley…he did let go, because he had to. She was hurting him, and he had to let go. Your mom wasn't mad at him or upset with your dad though because she knew he'd tried to be there for her…just like with Nick."

"You don't need to sit around here and be in pain Miley, because Nick knows how hard you're trying to make this better and sometimes to make things better you have to walk away from them first…" Denise whispered

She moved her hand over and slowly placed it on top of Miley's. I watched as Miley slowly pulled her hand away from Nick's and took Denise's instead.

"I want to fix him though because the last people I wanted to fix died and I don't want Nick to die…I can't loose him too" Miley whispered as Denise wrapped her arm around Miley.

"This isn't going to be like before Miley, your mom and dad would never let Nick join them when they know you care about him this much" Denise whispered as she stroked Miley's hair and pulled her into a hug.

"But I want my mom and dad here too, I never get what I want. I always get what I don't want" She whispered silently crying while Denise talked to her like only a mother could to calm her child down.

Miley POV

I sat at the piano with my headphones firmly placed in my ears, I sighed playing along to the already memorized notes listening to the lyrics and matching them up. I had been playing for five hours straight, but thankfully no one bothered stopping me they knew it would fall upon deaf ears.

What Denise had said made me finally agree to come home, although everyone's wish for me to sleep had not occurred and instead I'd spent the whole night watching movies with security hovering behind me. I'd only slept for about two hours when grandma awakened me, she informed me that there would be media in the house for very brief news interviews for the next couple of hours so I should move upstairs.

They were doing press releases on my coronation and my health along with everything else that needed to be said. But in the mean time I was content in hiding myself away from the world until someone would force me back to reality. I let out a huff seeing it was a little difficult to play anything with only one good hand and my elbow.

I could hear a beat that wasn't my music thumping away and pulled out my headphone to hear the banging on the door. My hand instantly stopped playing and I paused my ipod, standing up and moving slowly over to the locked door.

"Miley come on, it's lunch time" Mandy stated and I sighed unlocking the door to see her standing there dressed up,

Everyone was dressed up today while I was walking around in sweats and a huge baggy jumper, which belonged to Nick.

"Go down to the kitchens okay" Mandy said and I nodded as the security followed us down the staircase and I noticed a lot of people I didn't know just hanging around in the foyer.

"The media will all be gone in an hour and then you can go back to roaming the house Miles" Mandy stated as I gave a nod and walked around the corner into the kitchen as Mandy went a different way.

"Good afternoon Princess" One maid stated as they all bowed and I gave them a weak smile and climbed onto one of the benches as I was pointed towards a sandwich.

"Ms Mandy didn't know what you would want so she said just a salad sandwich, would you like us to prepare anything else?" A chef asked and I smiled shaking my head taking the sandwich.

"No it's fine, thank you" I whispered biting into it, I watched them all worry around the kitchen grabbing random plates of small foods and taking them outside into the media conference most likely.

I finally finished and slipped out of the kitchen as the security followed me, I decided I couldn't be bothered going back to playing the piano. Instead I decided I would go visit Demi and Selena for the afternoon, if they weren't there then I would move onto the Lucas household.

I moved over to the doors which contained the huge dining room, I slowly opened it while about five security watched what I was doing but said nothing. I gazed in to see about 50 people in the room all sitting in chairs with microphones and camera's set up.

I sighed seeing grandma and Mandy all the way down the other end, as I tried to get their attention by staring directly at them. Thankfully the media were all so focused on grandma they didn't even notice me standing at the back of the room waving one of my arms. Finally Grandma gazed at me and I looked at her and pointed outside as she nodded.

"Please excuse me for a moment, it seems my grand daughter would like something" She stated and stood up. I smiled as literally everyone in the room turned around, I instantly went for the door not wanting to have a photo taken like this.

I stood outside as she finally opened the door and walked out giving me a smile as I looked at her and then around at all the security that were standing around me. She sighed and nodded for them to leave, which they did and went back to their doors.

"Can I go to Magritte's for the afternoon?" I asked and she nodded giving me a smile and placing her hand on my shoulder and went to call someone to take me.

"I want to walk on my own, I promise I'll be okay and I'll go out the back door and everything. I just want some fresh air and alone time" I whispered pleadingly as she looked at me uncertain.

"Miley sweetie, you are the heir to the thrown at this point letting you wonder off alone would not be appropriate…" She stated seriously as I just stood there looking at her pleadingly.

"Fine…okay fine, but you must go get changed and make yourself presentable. I will call the security and tell them you are coming, be safe and call me if anything happens sweetie" Grandma said as I pulled her into a hug,

I quickly rushed upstairs and got changed into jeans and a top grabbing my jacket and pulled it on with my shoes. I moved down the stairs then through the back door dodging the security guys entering the outside world. I made my way through the back garden and out the back gate gazing to see no one around…god the media were stupid, they all were out the front yet no one thought of going around the back.

I slowly made my way towards their house taking in every little bit of air and freedom, which I hadn't had in a long time. I liked the feeling of being able to be outside alone…it made me seem normal still.

I arrived and pushed through the media outside unknown to them who I was with my jacket hood pulled up and a scarf tightly wrapped around my neck. I got to the security and he gazed at me and instantly opened the gates as I smiled in return. I pulled my hood off making it through the gates, as the paparazzi instantly started screaming my name realizing who I was. I got to the front door and went to knock only for it to be flung open.

"MILEY? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? HOW DID YOU GET HERE? WHO CARES…NICK WOKE UP" Demi screamed at me as she pulled me into a hug, he was awake?
