Chapter 7 – Mad at Who?
"Did he hurt you?" Nick asked Miley, concerned.
"No. Just harass me." Miley said. She was embarrassed that she needed a hero to come rescue her but happy that it was Nick.
Rico followed them and hopped in front of Nick. "I was warming him up for you." Rico said.
Nick nodded. "When I'm not here, protect Miley." Nick told Rico. Rico smiled.
"With pleasure, Nick." He said and left.
"And Miley?" Nick asked.
Miley looked at Nick. "Yes sweetie?" she said.
"Get out of my sight again and I'll kill you myself." Nick said, grimacing.
"Point taken." Miley answered.
Joe and Lilly were skipping in front of them singing, "Blue one, red one, equals purple!"
Nick looked pretty mad. "Nick?" Miley began.
Nick didn't look up from the ground.
"What Miley?" he asked, exasperated.
"Are you mad at me?" Miley's voice came out small and sounded hurt.
Nick sighed and squeezed her hand. "No. I'm mad at Jake." Nick replied.
"Thanks for the save. Again." Miley said.
Nick shrugged slightly. "That's what I'm here for."
