Chapter 14 - True Friend
"Am I dead?" Miley asks, while her eyes are still closed.
"No, just comatose." Joe says. She hears a smack and Joe scream, "OW!"
"How do you feel?" asked Nick's gentle voice.
"Sleepy." Miley murmurs.
"Get some sleep." Kevin said, fidgeting.
"We'll be right outside if you need us." Lilly said.
They leave the room, and Miley falls asleep.
"What do you think it is?" Nick asked Kevin.
"Well by the looks of her, she's not getting enough sleep and she has a fever. Joe, go call her dad. Nick, call a doctor. Lilly, take Frankie to Oliver's place and come back." Kevin said, telling orders like a general.
They all nod and Lilly runs off to Oliver's with Frankie clutching her hand.
Kevin goes to Miley's room with water.
Robbie Ray bursts through the door. He had been next door arguing with (NOTE - that guy whose name I forgot.)
Nick comes in with a doctor who takes Miley's temperature.
"She'll be all right. She just needs to rest for a week." The doctor says and leaves.
Robbie Ray turns to the Jonas Brothers and Lilly who had gotten there as soon as possible.
"Miley will be so upset. She was doing concerts all of this week." Robbie Ray said, shaking his head sadly.
"I'll tell her." Nick said. Lilly grabbed Nick.
"Sorry, Nick. It's time for a best friends talk. No boys allowed." She commands. Nick nods solemnly, and goes to sit down on the couch.
Lilly enters Miley's room.
"Hey Miley." Lilly says.
"Hey Lilly." Miley whispers.
"You doing better?"
"A little bit."
Lilly nods, taking a deep breath.
"Miley, Hannah won't be able to go to any concerts this week." She said, softly.
Miley nods and then bursts into tears. Lilly hugs Miley.
"You're not crying because of that, are you?" Lilly asks.
Miley sniffles. "You know me too well." Miley states.
Lilly shrugs. "Yes I do." She says.
"I've been so stressed. About Jake, about Nick, about Jake and Nick. This just hasn't been my week." Miley sighs. "It's good to tell my best friend everything again. I haven't been this close to you in a while." Miley says, brushing her hands through Lilly's hair.
"Everything will be okay, Miley." Lilly says, hugging Miley tightly.
"You know, Lilly. Coming from you, I actually believe it."
