Disclaimer: I don't Hannah Montana or the Jonas Brothers! I do however own this plot and such characters as Josh and Ryan. I don't own Kevin's GF and Jackson's GF.
A/N: I wanted to thank you for all of the wonderful reviews for that story. I haven't said this in a while but thanks for putting this story on alert and favorites! : ) I am basing the Jonas Brothers off the characters in that episode from Hannah Montana.
Nick was like a walking zombie for the past week. He came home that day from the beach and headed straight to his room. He needed time to think. He needed to get away from all of these dramas. He called the airlines and made sure the private jet was filled up with gas and ready to go at a moment's notice. He was planning on flying to New Jersey. That was always a good place for him to go to think. He packed his bags and was ready to go.
He silently walked down the stairs. He had his overnight bag with him so he wasn't carrying a huge suitcase in plain sight. He walked down the stairs and overheard his parents talking in the kitchen.
"Paul?" Denise asked as she set down the plate of pancakes in front of him.
"Hmmm, dear?" he replied as he got out the maple syrup from the fridge.
"Heather called me earlier this morning," she replied and that stopped Paul dead in his tracks. "What's the matter, Denise?" he asked as he took a seat. He had a feeling he was going to need it. "Miley's not doing too well," Denise replied. She didn't know that Nick was standing out in the hallway listening into the conversation. They thought all of the boys were already gone out of the house. Joe was over at Lilly's house trying to keep her calm. Kevin was with Heather. They were planning on going over to the Stewart's house a little bit after they had breakfast with her family. Frankie was with a friend and they thought Nick was already out and about. He was moody lately but they thought he had left to think. They had no idea that he was out in the hallway at all.
Nick gasped at what his mom said next, "She's going to be admitted to the hospital."
"The fever didn't go down?" Paul asked. She sadly shook her head. "Heather was crying when she called me. Why does everyone in her family ends up in the hospital?" Denise asked. Her best friend was going through such a terrible scare.
The Jonas family rushed to the hospital as soon as they could be able to. Nick saw Lilly and Joe first. Lilly was sitting there being cradled in Joe's arm, crying her eyes out. "Miles shouldn't be like this," she whispered, clinging on to Joe. "She didn't even tell me that she's sick." Nick's eyes widen. "WHAT??!!"
Everyone in the hospital gave him a cold stare. "Young man, this is a hospital, not a playground," the nurse said, coldly, pointing to a sign on the door. She knew who he was, who wouldn't? She just didn't tolerate anyone, even if they are famous, to disregard her rules. It was her job as head nurse to keep the rules instated and followed to the tee. Nick smiled sheepishously at the nurse and turned his attention back towards the couple sitting in front of him.
"Nick…" Lilly said with more tears coming towards her eyes. She couldn't even say it. Her best friend is lying on a hospital bed trying to fight to live. "The fever…Joe…" she cried out as she dug her head deeper into the crook of Joe's neck.
"What's going on here?" Nick demanded. Ryan laid a hand on Nick's shoulder. Nick turned around to see the older man shaking his head at him. "Miley's was admitted with a fever of 105.2. That means that this is really crucial for her. That type of heat in someone's body will result in some terrible…" he trailed off. Ryan couldn't even say it, let alone think about it. His little sister was going to make it. She just had to.
"Nicholas, why don't you sit down?" Denise asked him. Nick just shook his head. He couldn't think right now. The love of his life, now that he got it through his thick head, was lying on a hospital bed trying to fight for her life.
Ryan stood up as soon as he saw Charlie walking out of Miley's room. He shook his head towards the younger man. Ryan looked like he was ready to cry. His little sister was strong. Charlie came closer to the Stewart family. Robby and Heather stood up as soon as he approached them. Ryan pushed off the wall from where he and Kadie were standing and walked closer to his friend and mentor. Charlie took a deep breathe. "Miley's fever is really high. We tried to ice her body down and it has cooled it down a bit. She isn't out of the woods yet," he informed.
"Charlie, does that mean that…?" Ryan trailed off. He knew the consequence of having a high fever. Charlie nodded his head. Robby and Heather both turned to look at their son. 'What is he hiding from me?' Heather asked herself while trying to study her son.
"Ryan is correct," Charlie told the family. Everyone's eyes were now fixated on the doctor and hanging onto his every word. "Due to the high fever, there might be some damage to her brain. She might not be able to remember anything," he said.
"You mean, she will have amnesia?" Lilly piped up. Charlie nodded his head.
"High fevers will cause these kinds of complications. Just don't bombard her with all of her memories. See if she can remember anything on her own. There is a thirty percent chance that her brain waves are the same and that everything is fine. With this thirty percent, the fever hasn't done any damage to her. I have to go and check on another patient right now, but I will be back in a little bit to check on Miley," Charlie said, laying a hand on Heather's arm. He gave a nod to Robby and walked off.
"Can we see her, Charlie?" Ryan asked. Charlie nodded his head. "Just three people at a time," Charlie answered. "I don't want her to be overwhelmed if she does have amnesia. Please, be patient though." They all nodded their heads in understanding. Charlie gave the family a small smile and parted ways towards the front desk to sign off some information about Miley.
The families looked at each other. "I think Mom and Robby, you two, should go first. You are her parents," Ryan said with Lilly's agreement. Heather shook her head. Robby did it also. "We believe that it would be best for you, Jackson, and Lilly to go see her first. She loves you all three of you. You all are the closest to her," Heather said, with tears in her eyes. She hoped that her stepdaughter didn't have amnesia like Charlie had told them.
Ryan, Lilly, and Jackson, all got a hug from their loved ones and slowly walked into Miley's room. She was lying there on her bed motionless. Jackson walked towards Miley. Everyone in the room could see that, even though he usually didn't show Miley his love for her, he really did love her. He had tears in his eyes as he approached her. "Miles?" he softly called. Everyone held their breath as her eyes slowly fluttered open.
"Hi, guys," she said, hoarsely. "What's up? Why do I feel like I've been put through an oven?"
"Miley!" Lilly exclaimed as she rushed towards her sister. "I'm so glad that you are awake. We were so worried."
"I'm fine," Miley replied softly.
"It's so good to see you awake, sis," Jackson said as he bent over to hug her. She smiled. She knew that despite his stupid behavior towards her when they were younger, he did love her. "I'm glad to see all of you too. How long was I out?" she asked, as she grabbed a hold of Ryan's hand. He gave her a squeeze. He was really happy that she was okay and was able to remember everyone. At least that was what he thought at the time.
Everyone had gone through to see Miley – everyone, but Nick. He didn't know what to say to her, now that he had a chance to actually talk to her. He took in a deep breath and walked through the heavy door. "Hi, Miley," he said, softly. He saw her look up and he felt a wave of confusion run through him. His brothers and everyone else came out of that room happy that she remembered everyone of them. They told him that she didn't have any amnesia at all. "Umm…I'm glad to see that you are okay."
"I'm sorry," she said, softly. "Do I know you? You look a little like Kevin and Joe, but I don't know you name. Have we met before? I'm sure that we have met somewhere before." Nick felt his heart dropped as soon as he heard the question. 'How could she not remember me?' he asked himself. 'She remembered everyone else.'
He lightly scratched the back of his head, confused. "I'm Nick. Kevin and Joe are my brothers," he answered. She nodded her head. "I really am sorry. I do wish that I could remember you. Were we friends?" she asked him.
He didn't move any closer to the bed, even though there was an opening for him to. "We…um…we…we sort of had a falling out," he finally answered her. "Oh," she replied. He nodded his head. He didn't know how she was going to react to that. On one hand, he thought that this sucked in the whole world. They used to be really good friends before that whole love-triangle-Hannah Montana thing happened. On the other hand, he was actually sort of glad that she didn't really remember him. This way, it would give him a new start with her and that she would forget the whole entire argument that they had.
"What was the fallout about?" she asked him.
That definitely shouldn't have surprised him. The Old Miley was a very curious person. He took in a deep breath. He didn't really want to explain it to her. He was glad to not having the chance because Charlie walked back in to check on his patient.
"Hi, Nick," he said slowly walking into the room. "Visiting hours has just ended. I just wanted to let you know that. Immediate family members only for now." Nick nodded his head. "I'll see you tomorrow, Miley," Nick said as he walked out of the room.
"But, Nick…" she trailed off. She really wanted to know what he was going to say.
A/N: I'm sure all of you are asking 'what the heck is with this family and being in the hospital all of the time?' - I thought it would make the scenes more dramatic. But, at least, I didn't put Miley in a coma for days like I did the others.
I'm sorry if this is kind of short. I'm writing this story and my Camp Rock story and another story for Fictionpress. If any of you are on FP, please take a look at "Liv and the Royalties" by KariandTK (yup, I kept the same name.) Please review. I really need all of the opinions I can get. Thank you!
