Chapter 34
Nick POV
Today was the day, everyone was freaking, everyone was worried, but as soon as Miley stepped into a room everyone pretended like they were all fine for her sake. I sat in her room while she had her hair done, she was hell nervous and I could tell she was debating whether she wanted to do this or not anymore. I'd been home for a total of one whole day and in that time I'd hardly spent any of it with her, because today was her coronation and by tonight she'd be Queen.
"Nick I can't do this" She suddenly yelled sending her hair stylist stumbling backwards in fright "I can't…This is stupid! I can't do this" She continued staring at me pleadingly, I sighed we all knew she was going to go through stages of whether or not she should be doing this today...
"Miley you can! You can do this, I know you can! Everyone knows you can…it's not that big of a deal…" I stated seriously as she just stared at me, "Not that big of a deal? This is running a whole country Nick! This is a big deal!"
"I want grandma…" She yelled as the hair stylist and her other assistants just stared at me, "I want her now…" Miley stated deadly serious and I nodded standing up and very slowly moving over to her,
"Love you" I whispered and kissed her on the cheek as she gave me a smile, she was absolutely terrified of becoming Queen. But at the same time I knew some where inside of her she was excited.
"Love you too, now just get grandma please…" She begged and I nodded quickly leaving the room gazing at the security as the all looked at me. Every single room had security, even if no one was it they were just there. I sighed slowly walking down the hallway and down the staircase, wincing at the position my body had to make,
Everyone was separated at the moment getting ready seeing in an half an hour we'd be leaving with Miley following. I walked to Alexandra's room and raised my hand knocking on the door while the security just gazed me. I stood patiently as the door opened and I gazed to see Alexandra already in her gown ready for the proceedings.
"Nicholas you are looking quite handsome, what would you like?" She asked,
I'd got dressed quickly in my suit so I could spend more time with Miley trying to keep her calm, but obviously it wasn't working...
"Miley wants you…" I stated nervously and Alexandra instantly frowned "She's kind of freaking"
"She's going to make it through today…" Alexandra stated more as a question and I nodded, she had to get through it. We both left the room and moved up the stairs again and Alexandra knocked on her door.
"Come in" Miley stated as Alexandra opened the door and I gazed to see her now standing in the dress.
She looked absolutely flawless, like a porcelain doll there was literally not anything out of place on her. I smiled at her which she returned as Alexandra walked over and I gazed at the elaborate dress which was like triple Miley's size and covered half the room practically.
"I can't do this! Why am I here? I want to go home…this is stupid, everyone knows I can't do this! Why did I even agree! I was never supposed to be queen? What am I going to do?" Miley yelled at Alexandra frantically as she gave a sigh in response moving over to Miley.
"Destiny, take a deep breath in…and then breath out" Alexandra stated seriously as Miley nodded and followed the orders and then looked for more, Alexandra gave a sigh.
"Right Miley…sweet heart, this is nothing when you think about it most of the world have believed you've been a Queen for a long time before now. You're going to be absolutely perfect, you look so beautiful." Alexandra stated seriously looking at Miley,
"I don't know…this is scary…" She whispered moving her hands across her dress as there was a knock on the door and it opened as Magritte with Dad walked in and gazed at Miley.
"She's looks magnificent, your parents would be so proud of you" Dad stated walking in while I saw Miley just standing there in a total daze, needing more reassurance.
"She does, now you need to calm down sweet heart everything is going to go perfectly…and I might have a surprise for you after" Alexandra stated and Miley looked at her interested and Alexandra smiled, knowing that she could easily black mail her with presents.
"But I will not tell you until tonight and we need to get you moving," Alexandra stated as Miley with the new incentive of a present nodded, well that was easier then we thought to convince her.
"Wait she's missing the main piece…" Alexandra suddenly stated as we all gazed up and she grabbed the gold necklace we'd seen so many times now and pulled it around her neck as the heart rested against her chest.
"Now you're ready…you can do this, you look like a true leader now. And like Paul said your parents would be proud of you," Alexandra stated and kissed Miley on the head as she gave a weak smile and nodded…
"I know that they would be…" She stated in response as Magritte nodded looking at her once more before walking out with dad, I sadly knew soon I was going to have to leave as well.
"Maids…" Alexandra stated as the door opened and about ten walked in and all gave a small bow, and moved around the train of Miley's dress as she just gave a sigh…this was weird for her I could tell.
"You're going to be fine…remember I'll be with you all night" I said with a smirk as she nodded and I gave her a very gentle kiss on her lips, causing a small smile to come to her face as she walked very carefully out with all the maids.
"We did it Nicholas" Alexandra stated with a sigh of relief "We actually convinced her…good job" She gave me a grin and I gave a laugh as we both left the room and walked down gazing at all the security,
"We all ready to do this?" Dad asked standing in the foyer with everyone, this was a dreamlike experience every person here had we always wanted her to be Queen but we never thought it would ever happen, except maybe Miley considering she knew she was alive.
As I watched the maids open the door I gave one last smile at Miley knowing that a princess was walking out those doors and was going to walk through them tonight as Queen of the whole country. But we all had faith in her, the only person who doubted her was herself, and I was sure as soon as she saw how many people were standing in the streets to see her coronation it would boost her confidence; And she would finally take what was rightfully hers all along.
Miley POV
I sat smiling looking out the window of the horse drawn carriage, gazing at the thousands of people lining the streets cheering my name…it was scary but at the same time kind of exciting. I exchanged a look with grandma who was sitting next to me a grin across her face while I went back to gazing at all of my country's people.
"The last time I sat in this carriage was with your father, I never thought after that night I'd ever get to sit in here with you my dear" Grandma stated as I looked at her and she put her hand on my cheek.
"I love you…and today you will have your whole family watching out for you, so don't be scared because all these people are here for you" Grandma stated and I nodded moving my hand to my necklace, wishing they were all still here.
"I miss them so much, I wish they were here today…" I stated as grandma gave me a laugh moved her hand to my hand as she gave me a huge smile shaking her head.
"But sweet heart they are, they're always here…because in you, their will always be memories of them which will never be forgotten," She whispered and I gave a small smile tracing over my once broken wrist trying to forget all the memories I didn't want to remember.
"Soon we will be at St Patrick's cathedral and you will walk down the aisle with every single eye on you…because everyone knows who you are and what you are meant to be. Never doubt who you are Destiny Hope" Grandma whispered as I nodded and gazed out the window smiling again seeing all the soldiers around on horses.
Half an hour later I felt the horses pull up, I gazed out the window to see the towering steeples of the church and the ornate architecture that was the st Patrick's cathedral. Grandma gave me a smile as the doors opened and the sound was deafening of all the people who just wanted to glance at me. I took a soldiers hand as he helped me out of the carriage and I gave him a smile, as 6 women dressed in white surrounded me and took the long train behind me.
I slowly walked inside and up the steps as the door instantly closed and it was just deadly silent as I gazed watching the archbishop of New York walk down holding the crown along with two earls along side him carrying the scepter and golden orb which I was going to have to hold very soon. I stood carefully waiting listening the music being played and looking at the 8000 people packed into the church. All the people were of royal blood, high officials, parliament figures or just very important people.
I was nudged from behind seeing grandma motioning for me to start walking as I carefully took a step forward into the church. The sad thing was I'd practiced this at least a hundred times in the last week walking with a very straight and elegant posture down the aisle, but everything went out the window seeing all the people staring directly at me.
I finally reached the end my heart beating out of my chest and carefully sat down in the seat of my great great great grandfather, as I gazed back at all the people glaring back at me. The music continued for a moment before stopping and the archbishop walked up and stood in front of me.
"Will you solemnly promise and swear to govern the Peoples of the United States of America, and of it's Possessions and other Territories to any of them belonging or pertaining, according to our respective laws and customs?" The archbishop stated as I felt myself mentally start to panic, this was happening…right now.
"I solemnly promise so to do." I stated like I'd practiced taking in a deep breath while my heart continued to pound beneath me, okay this was going to happen I was going to be Queen.
I wonder where Nick was? I tried not look obvious and gazed around but couldn't find him anywhere. I suddenly realized I'd lost concentration and the archbishop had stopped speaking and I tried to remember, I only had one more line to say…no I just had to make it come from my mouth…if I could remember it.
"All this I promise to do. The things, which I have here before promised, I will perform, and keep. So help me God." I stated and a man in robes moved to me and indicated for me to sign my name.
I took the pen and pressed down going to write Miley and stopped thankfully writing my full name as he moved away from me. The archbishop returned to me along with two men both holding the scepter and the golden orb. He spoke as I tried to concentrate but I was mentally freaking out as one handed me the orb in my right hand and then the scepter in my left and he slowly moved and placed the crown on my head talking away.
"All hail the Queen, All hail the Queen, All hail the Queen" Everyone instantly yelled as I felt feint…they were talking about me, it was finished I was the Queen after everything I'd been through it was over.
I stood up and the music began to play as I slowly walked back down the aisle each step I made I felt myself become more and more confident finally reaching the back as the doors opened for me. The crowed was enormous as it screamed and cheered, and for the first time today I gave a genuine smile and waved at my new kingdom.
"Your royal highness, please…" A soldier stated as I nodded giving him a smile and climbed back into the carriage…this time I was alone though, because this time it wasn't about anyone else, it was about me…I was officially the Queen of the United States of America.
A/N- Okay so bit of a boring chapter but I needed the whole coronation because it would be a bit stupid to skip it! I actually researched into it so hopefully that seemed life like haha! Thanks for the reviews by the way! I got my 400th which was soooo awesome! And I really want the next chapter to be the last and then an epilogue :)
Okay I need your opinion seeing Miley has Nick and Joe has Demi...would it be weird if I put Kevin and Selena together just because I feel like they are really lonely charactes right now? Or should I just leave them single?
