Chapter Four: Pop Goes the Question

"Michael, for the last time, I am fine." Miley moaned. It was a few weeks after they returned from Florida, and Michael was starting to get on her nerves. Michael huffed, and put her into bed, and tucked her in. She thought that him taking care of her was really fine and sweet, but him literally doing everything for her was starting to get on her nerves. She did not need for Michael to wait on her hand and foot, but he was really stibborn and was going to do it anyway. She felt as though she was treating her like a baby, but he was just worried about her, and he wanted to take care of her.

"I know, but I want to take care of you." Michael said. Miley sighed, and shifted in his bed. Michael really was stubborn, but she loved him, and she knew that he loved her back. It became really obvious that Michael was hiding something from her. What it was, and why he was hiding it from her really made her curious.

"Well, I am going to take a shower. Are you going to be alright while I am in there?" Michael asked.

"Yeah, I will. Go take your shower." Miley answered, almost having to shoo him away. Michael grabbed some clothes and went into the bathroom.

Miley pulled out Michael's laptop, and was surfing the web when her cellphone rang. She sighed, and picked it up.

"Hello?" Miley asked.

"Hi, this is Fiona Mason from TMZ, is this Miley Stewart?" She asked.

"Yeah, what's up?" Miley asked. TMZ is talking to her, that means that they might know something.

"I wanted to ask you, do you know why Michael Harris was seen in a jewelry store? It was stated that he was buying a ring for you." Fiona said.

"I have no idea what you are talking about." Miley stated. "I am very tired, so let's continue this another time, alright?"

"Alright, sorry to bother you." Fiona stated, hanging up the phone. Miley sat the phone down, and picked up the lap top that was sitting next to their bed. She saw that Michael was emailed a picture of him coming out of a jewelry store. She shut down the laptop when Michael came out of the bathroom, and into their room. Miley feigned being asleep, but now she was convinced that Michael was hiding something from her, and she was determined to find out what that was.

Miley was keeping this to herself over the next week. She knew that Michael was keeping something from her, and now she was more than determined to find out what that was, exactly. Even if she has to do something really drastic. Miley scheduled a trip to a theme park, Disney Land, to be exact, and there she was going to throw her plan into action. She waited until they were at their hotel room, and while he was already in their bed. Miley slowly exited their bathroom, and walked towards the bed. Michael looked at her and smiled, but quickly changed his expression when he saw the look of anger on her face.

"Okay, what's wrong?" Michael asked her.

"Is there something that you care to share with me?" Miley asked, her expression not changing.

"No, why?" Michael lied. Miley just scoffed. Michael was a bad liar, especially when it came to her, then he was down right terrible at it.

"That is what you want to say, and that is the way you want to keep it?" Miley said.

"Yeah?" Michael said, almost as if he was about to be hit.

"Okay. Fine." Miley said, climbing into bed. "Michael Christopher Harris, remember this. Sooner or later, I am going to find out. You can either tell me, or not. If not, remember this. I have ways of getting information out of you. Goodnight."

Miley turned out the lights, and went to sleep.

Michael sat there in shock. What in the hell? She can't be serious, can she? Man, I might have to ask her soon...

Michael laid there next to her, and was watching her closely until he fell asleep himself.

It was the next night, and Michael and Miley were walking along a beach by themselves. It was a oddly cool night, and they were having some fun, just the two of them. Michael had Miley close to him, and when he tried to kiss her, she broke away, and Michael felt knots get bigger in his stomach. Here we go, now was the time that he was really dreading...

"Michael, I really want to know, what is going on with you?" Miley asked. "Why are you being so secretive?"

Michael was unable to look at her, instead, he was using his bare toe to trace circles in the sand, hoping with all of his might that she was going to drop this. He knew that she was not going to. By this point, Miley was starting to get really angry.

"Michael! Tell me!" Miley said, shoving him. Michael finally did look at her, and while she had a look of anger on her face, Michael had tears streaming down his face. Miley's look of anger was gone, and a look of shock was on her face. She was with Michael for a few years, and he never cried in front of her, for whatever reason.

"Okay. Fine." Michael said in a broken voice. "I don't know how much time I have left, and I want to spend the rest of my time with you. I love you very deeply, and I will not hesitate to sacrifice myself for you."

Miley began to breath hard as Michael pulled out a black box, and got down on one knee. He opened the little black box, and Miley felt tears of joy in her eyes as well.

"Miley Stewart, will you marry me?" Michael said.

"Yes. I will marry you." Miley said. Michael grabbed her, and hugged her tightly. This was the happiest moment in his entire life.

Michael had a strange feeling as he laid in bed that night. Miley's arm was draped across his bare chest, and he could not help but to stare at the engagement ring on her finger. He let out a small smile, and shifted himself so he could pull Miley closer to him, but that was not it. He was happy for some reason. Not just because he and Miley were no engaged, but for some strange reason, he felt as though an invisible weight has been lifted off of his shoulders, as if a burden that he had was no longer there. Then he realized what it was.

For the first time in nearly 17 years, he was finally at peace. With his fiancee sleeping in his arms, he smiled and went to sleep.
